The new era strikes

Chapter 27 Universal Currency
"Crack~" A dead branch was trampled off by Lu Tian, ​​making an unwilling crisp sound, and it was broken.

The army ants are so hungry that even the edible green grass and leaves along the way are eaten away, leaving only bare tree trunks and ground.

The wind blows through the branches without any greenery, making a whining sound, matching the casually scattered bones on the ground, like purgatory.

Lu Tian moved his eyes, lowered his head and moved a piece of gravel the size of a fist, where a black army ant lay half dead.It seems that he was buried here by this piece of rubble after being injured.

Looking at the ant body that was broken in two, Lu Tian put the upper half in his hand, and felt a heavy feeling.

"The density is high! The hardness is also great!"

The black shell is extremely hard, its weight and texture are like metal, and when pinched by hand, its defense is amazing.

The two big forelimbs were strong and strong, Lu Tian pulled them with his hands, and a strong bite came out, tightly clamping a small fragment in the middle.

"What a powerful individual!"

Although ants are small, they are one of the few creatures on earth that can break through the limitations of their own bodies. They can lift several times their own strength.

And this kind is the best among them. After two years of strength strengthening, this species has become even more against the sky.

Throwing the half-dead worker ant back to the ground, Lu Tian simply followed the 'road' opened by the army ants.

Along the way, except for the bones and bare ground, not even a single insect can be seen, but from time to time there are a few ant corpses buried under stones, indicating the traces of marching ants.

……

Lu Tian had already passed through the area left by the army ants, and deviated to another direction.

The attackers who appeared suddenly from time to time kept Lu Tian busy again.

"Xiaoqi, tell me about the medicinal properties of the plant just now, what else can it do besides stop bleeding?"

"Its active ingredients are used externally to stop bleeding and reduce swelling, and when taken internally, it can lower cholesterol..."

The scorching sun gradually slanted to the west, and several large dark clouds suddenly appeared in the sky, gathering quickly, gradually covering up the sunlight.

"It's a storm again, it looks like it's going to be delayed!" Lu Tian frowned, and quickly looked around. He had to find a cave to shelter from the rain.

"Crack~" A muffled thunder exploded,
The raindrops fell and hit the leaves, making a rattling sound.

Dark clouds drifted over from afar, throwing this space into darkness.

Lu Tian was completely soaked, he rushed into a cave in a hurry, and drove a beast out.

"I originally wanted to arrive in three days, but now it will take an extra day."

Today, with the help of the mutated army ants, Lu Tian has advanced about [-] kilometers, including yesterday's, a total of [-] kilometers.

A piece of colorful paper appeared out of thin air, Lu Tian took out the map from the Hunyuan Haomiao ring, unfolded the somewhat crumpled map, and found his approximate location.

Although these two days have not been a standard straight line, they have also covered a large distance. Currently, the distance to the temporary base is only about 450 kilometers. If there is no accident, it should be able to arrive in two days.

Seeing the unstoppable rain outside, Lu Tian said to the ring: "It seems that I can't go today, let's try the effect of these plants you mentioned!"

Lu Tian took off the bag on his back. It was an ordinary off-road bag, solid and wear-resistant. Although it was a little dirty now, it was a very practical tool in Lu Tian's hands.

As long as you can put items into the ring without using your mental power, it is useless as much as possible. This bag becomes a place for Lu Tian to put things.

He opened the small bag outside, took out a handful of plants stuffed inside, and threw it on the ground.

"Master, don't chew this with your mouth. It tastes very irritating. Just smash it with a stone and place it around. The smell it releases can repel insects."

Xiao Qi gave a proper reminder, and Lu Tian broke off a stone from the cave, separated half of it, and pounded it vigorously.

A pungent and strange smell mixed with different smells slowly wafted out, a bit like toilet water and moth balls.

"No wonder you let me pick several different herbs, so that they can complement each other and restrain most of the poisonous insects."

I spread the smashed plant mud around myself, and saw many kinds of insects running away in a hurry, and it seemed to work well.

The rain outside became heavier and heavier, the thunder became more shocking, the lightning flashed, and the dark clouds covered the sun, making the sky that should have been bright as if it had been splashed with ink, pitch black.

"Xiaoqi, you should have exercises for exercising your body, right?"

Lu Tian has nothing to do now, he can only chat with Xiaoqi, the only one who can talk.

"Yes, there are different levels, but the master needs to exchange energy or other precious materials."

"What kind of exchange method?"

Lu Tian was a little interested, this was related to future welfare issues.

"Xiaoqi's stored skills, spells, and secret techniques are divided into seven levels. Each level is divided into elementary, intermediate, and advanced. There are 21 levels in total. This level is universal."

"The mental method that the master cultivated is a third-level advanced method. Originally, it was not that advanced, but because it was tailor-made for the master, it is the perfect foundation-building mental method that is most suitable for the intelligent race of the master. That’s why it has such a high rating.”

"According to Xiaoqi's speculation, the planet where the master is located was previously exhausted due to the exhaustion of vitality, and the cultivation civilization has declined sharply. The cultivation methods currently available are generally below level 3. Master, the mental method you cultivate is considered to be the best on this planet. Very advanced."

Lu Tian was fascinated when he heard it, and he also realized that the current cultivation civilization on the earth is so backward.

"No wonder I can practice so fast and use such a top-notch mental method."

"Isn't it true that creatures who practice more advanced mental methods also exist?"

Thinking that after the third level there are four, five and six levels, Lu Tian asked.

"Yes, but those are some races with defying talents. In the universe, everyone calls them god races. Creatures of this kind of race are at least born with innate fetal breath, and can survive in space. Some High-level protoss possess god-like power from birth, so terrifying."

Xiao Qi suddenly changed the subject and said, "The talent of the master's race is mediocre. If it weren't for the fact that the master still has some weak blood of the Protoss, Xiao Qi would not have the confidence to make the master a strong man."

"Ahem~Xiao Qi, as long as you work hard, you will have a chance, don't be discouraged."

Lu Tian looked a little embarrassed. He was a little embarrassed to hear that Xiao Qi seemed to despise his talent.

"I thought I was very talented, but it turned out that I was only a genius among the people on Earth, and it was nothing in front of the real genius race."

Lu Tian felt like that frog, who successfully sat in the well and watched the sky.

"Master, don't worry, with Xiao Qi's support, your starting point will not be too far behind those Protoss. They all take a long time to be born, and Master has enough time to surpass them."

Seeing that she had achieved her goal by herself, Xiaoqi didn't want to discourage Lu Tian, ​​so she talked about Lu Tian's advantages.

That is the time, Lu Tian was conceived in October, and those races with defying talents may take ten years, hundreds or even thousands of years to be born. As long as Lu Tian can make breakthroughs one after another, there is indeed a chance to catch up.

"Xiao Qi, tell me about the exchange of these mental skills with you!"

Lu Tian realized that he had led Xiao Qi astray again, so he hurriedly got back to the topic.

"Well, the first-level elementary level is about 1 to 5 red energy points, the first-level intermediate level is 5 to 25 red energy points, and the first-level advanced level is 25 to 100 red energy points. Each level, the number remains the same, and the energy The level is raised by one level, that is, the second level is calculated with orange energy points..."

"Hey, Xiaoqi, tell me what energy points are first?"

Lu Tian heard a new term again, and interrupted Xiao Qi again, asking him to explain it to himself.

Xiaoqi has gotten used to Lu Tian, ​​stopped and said: "Gold on the earth can be used as currency, but in the universe, the hardest currency is energy currency, because the survival and development of all races are inseparable from energy. Just like the current development of your earth is inseparable from oil."

"In many relatively developed civilizations, there is a basic technology. With the support of this technology, whether it is chemical energy, electrical energy, or light energy, it can be converted into a neutral energy. This energy and vitality are very It is similar, but it is sealed in a special crystal, which is artificially processed and can be used by machines and even creatures. It is widely used in interstellar commercial payments, and the basic unit is called an energy point."

"Energy coins are also divided into eight grades. According to the amount and quality of energy contained, they are divided into white, red, and purple. The first four grades are common, and the latter energy coins are almost only available in particularly advanced civilizations."

"The energy contained in each white energy point is equivalent to the heat released by the complete combustion of a standard unit, that is, about 2 or 4 kilograms of carbon-12 in pure oxygen under standard gravity, pressure, radiation and other environments. One liter Level, the energy content is increased by a hundred times, and the quality is doubled."

"The current civilization of the master is far from being able to convert other energies into the standard energy coins of the universe. Coupled with the limitations of its own aviation technology, it is impossible to conduct business with other races in the universe."

"Then Xiaoqi, can you do it?"

Lu Tian asked.

"Xiao Qi can, but at present, he can only convert the energy coins of the first four levels at most, and I will use most of the energy to recover first. This is the benefit left by the old master to Xiao Qi!"

"Master won't be jealous, right? Xiao Qi can also help people make energy coins. You can make 1000 red energy coins by spending one shot. If you don't spend a phone call, you will be charged 10% of the processing fee. With Xiao Qi's Recover, and you can make more at a time!"

"It's too early for you to say this. I don't even have a little extra energy on my body now. My cultivation base is sealed, and I don't have anything that contains energy. I can only wait until I get home. There are still some insides of strange beasts at home." Dan and the power core of the power user."

Lu Tian knew that there was no way to exchange for some secret skills, so he could only think about it.

"Xiaoqi, if my cultivation is not sealed, can I exchange it with real yuan?"

"Yes, but the master's true energy contains a lot of will, and it is difficult to convert. All the true energy can only be converted into a small half, which is equivalent to 30 points of orange energy coins. It can be exchanged for a second-level advanced secret technique or mental method at a time. But only the worse ones can be exchanged.”

"This is still the master's most perfect foundation-building method. The amount of true energy is ten times that of the same level, and the quality is much higher. If other ancient warriors, they can't even exchange for second-level ones!"

"Unfortunately, it's blocked! It can't be used at all."

Seeing that all his cultivation could be exchanged for one of the top secret skills on earth, Lu Tian felt a little unwilling.
