The world enters the fungal world

Chapter 186 Luck (Thanks to Ai Xiaoxiaoyu for the donation)

Lin Muying was slightly surprised: "So long?"

He thought that according to the requirements of Lingxu City, one had to reach the peak level within a month in order to enter the city for free, while those who had not reached the peak level had to pay gold coins.

Moreover, there is only one chance, and the normal growth time of the natal bacteria is a full four months.

Bai Xiuluo didn't look at Lin Muying, but kept staring at Li Yu and said, "That's right. The normal growth rate is four months, but for Lingxu City, only those who grow to their peak within one month are in line with their expectations. The rest are considered unqualified by them."

"So, how do you shorten this growth time? It's actually very simple. As long as you hunt down the fungal beasts relentlessly, keeping your natal fungus in a state of tension and danger for a long time, you can accelerate the growth of your natal fungus. In that case, this time can be shortened by at least one month, and within three months, it can grow to its peak."

Qian Lili said, "That still takes three months, so why are there so many people who can reach the peak in just one month this time?" She couldn't understand.

Bai Xiuluo smiled and said calmly, "It's very simple. From the moment people are born, they are divided into different classes. For example, in terms of intelligence, some people are dull, some are average, some are intelligent, some people's genes make them live longer, and some people are naturally stronger than their peers."

Li Yu nodded slightly; he understood this principle.

"Similarly, some people are naturally more compatible with their natal bacteria. Under the same conditions and environment, these people's natal bacteria grow faster, far exceeding the average."

"The best of them can even shorten the average time by a month. In other words, even without hard work, these people can reach the peak of the spore stage within three months. If they work hard, they can do it within two months."

"These people can be called geniuses."

Zhou Xigang said, "I understand. People like Brother Bai who can reach the peak within a month are geniuses among geniuses, and super geniuses who work very hard."

What he was really thinking was, what was the point of Bai Xiuluo saying all this nonsense?

Did he want to boast to the rest of them that he was a super genius?

Even without him saying it, Zhou Xigang could tell that Bai Xiuluo was definitely a genius, otherwise he wouldn't have broken through to the peak long ago, and his strength would still be so great.

Bai Xiuluo shook his head and said, "As I said, even with these two factors combined, it would take at least two months to grow to the peak of the spore stage. No matter how talented a person is, it's impossible to grow to the peak of the spore stage within a month."

These words caused all four of them to look at him. Zhou Xigang asked in astonishment, "Then how did you—and all those peak Spore Stage cultivators we've encountered along the way—appear?"

He felt that what Bai Xiuluo said was completely contradictory to reality.

Bai Xiuluo took a deep breath, then suddenly smiled and said calmly, "It's very simple, this is what I mean by luck."

Everyone was taken aback. After all that, Bai Xiuluo had gone through all that trouble just to talk about luck.

"Can luck accelerate growth?" Zhou Xigang frowned.

Bai Xiuluo nodded and said, "Of course, a genius, if he works hard enough, can advance to the peak of the Spore Stage within two months. If he also has some luck and gets some opportunities, then he has a chance to break through within a month."

"Those who can reach the peak within a month all have their own opportunities, although these opportunities may differ in form, type, method, and magnitude."

"I heard from that man in black armor that among the previous batches of new recruits, some even broke through to the peak of the Spore Stage within a month —"

"Although I'm not sure if what he said is true or false, or if it's true that every batch has it, I think if there really is such a person, then he must have incredible luck, obtained some kind of great opportunity, and be extremely talented to have such an opportunity."

"Effort, talent, and luck are all essential for the people Lingxu City wants to select. Without luck, one can only reach the top level at most within a month."

"The fact that you were able to leave the North District alive is itself a testament to your luck, which is why I believe you will be able to enter Lingxu City alive."

Upon hearing this, Li Yu finally understood what Shura was trying to say.

If they cannot enter Lingxu City alive, it means their luck ran out when they left the North District. In that case, it would be meaningless for Bai Xiuluo to ask them to go to the North District.

To put it bluntly, whether they can enter Lingxu City alive is also an important way to test whether they still have any luck left.

"Alright, I've said everything I needed to say. Saying these things represents my utmost sincerity." After Bai Xiuluo finished speaking, he looked at Li Yu again.

Now, it's time for Li Yu and the other three to reveal their true origins.

Li Yu thought for a moment, considering how to phrase it, when Zhou Xigang interrupted, "Brother Bai, do you believe in time travel?"

"Time travel?" Bai Xiuluo was taken aback, then seemed to be pondering the meaning of this word.

Zhou Xigang shrugged: "Actually, our backgrounds and experiences are far simpler than yours, and certainly not as complicated as yours—"

"We are from another human world, and we have crossed over to this world."

Since Bai Xiuluo believed they came from another world, Zhou Xigang went along with his words and made up a story.

After all, no one knows what secrets this world still holds, or whether they involve the past of humanity.

Based on their current understanding, this world is almost entirely populated by new humans born from a mother.

The only clue about natural humans is the refugees that Bai Xiura mentioned.

The name "refugee" itself sounds suspicious.

Based on the information available so far, the natural human condition in this world seems rather strange.

In this situation, instead of saying that we are natural humans from decades ago, it would be better to say that we come from another world.

This is why Zhou Xigang rushed to answer; he was afraid that Qian Lili, with her big mouth, would let something slip.

Li Yu glanced at Zhou Xigang, and since Zhou Xigang said he came from another human world, he didn't say anything more.

Bai Xiuluo was slightly moved and said, "There really is another human world?"

A look of shock appeared on his face. He had long suspected Li Yu and the other three. They seemed out of place in this world and didn't seem like people from this world at all.

But these were all just speculations, and now that Zhou Xigang had confirmed it, he was still shocked.

Of course, there was also curiosity. Upon learning that there was another human world, everyone felt astonished and curious.

"What kind of human world is that? Is it similar to ours?"

"Our world didn't have any fungal beasts or fungal disasters, but everything else was pretty much the same. We heard a loud bang and suddenly found ourselves in this world full of fungi. The place we appeared in is the forbidden zone you mentioned, which is the northern area of ​​Supply Point No. 5."

Zhou Xigang spoke rather vaguely, knowing that the more he talked, the easier it would be to give himself away, so he directly shifted the topic to the forbidden zone of life at Supply Point No. 5.

Bai Xiuluo had no doubts, because he had already preconceived the idea that Li Yu and the others were not humans from this world.

Therefore, Zhou Xigang's explanation perfectly matched his conjecture, and was even more acceptable to him than Li Yu and the others' explanation that it came from decades ago.

Upon hearing Zhou Xigang say that they had arrived in this world and appeared in the northern area of ​​Supply Point No. 5, his eyes immediately lit up slightly. He felt that his guess was indeed correct.

"A human world without germ plagues—" Bai Xiuluo murmured, a look of longing in his eyes.

What kind of human world would that be?

"Brother Bai, don't you doubt what we're saying?" Zhou Xigang looked at Bai Xiuluo with some curiosity.

Zhou Xigang had originally thought that if Bai Xiuluo had doubts and asked him about the human world, he would explain how to do so. However, Bai Xiuluo seemed to have accepted it completely and did not doubt it at all.

"Why do you doubt me?" Bai Xiuluo said, "I think what you said makes a lot of sense. Even if you didn't say it, I would have suspected long ago that you weren't from this world. Because if you were new humans, it's impossible that you wouldn't know anything. And if you were refugees among the natural humans, that doesn't seem like it either—"

Li Yu couldn't help but ask, "When you first met us, you suspected we were refugees. What exactly are refugees? Does that mean that naturally born humans are now called refugees?"

Bai Xiuluo said, "I don't know much about this either. I only know that there are some wandering natural humans who are called refugees, but I've only heard about it and I've never actually seen one."

Li Yu frowned slightly: "Wandering natural humans? How did they escape the bacterial outbreak?"

Bai Xiuluo shook his head and said, "I don't know, but even refugees can't be completely ignorant of many basic things about this world."

"Especially since there are mold spots on your clothes, that's even more impossible. So I knew back then that you weren't refugees. Now that you say you came from another human world, everything makes sense."

Bai Xiuluo paused for a moment and continued, "Because the clothes in this world are not susceptible to fungal infections, nor do they develop mold. The fact that they are susceptible to fungal infections indicates that your clothes come from a different world. At that time, I suspected that you were not from this world."

Li Yu didn't expect that this White Asura, who looked rugged and muscular like a giant, could easily give people the illusion that he was all brawn and no brains.

In reality, he was quite perceptive. At the time, he had so many doubts in his mind, but he never asked too many questions.

"Since you came to this world from another world and appeared in the North District, it further proves that this forbidden zone of life must be hiding some earth-shattering secret. Perhaps it is this secret that led you to travel here."

Bai Xiuluo's eyes gleamed slightly as he said in a deep voice, "I have a strong feeling that if we join forces, we can definitely uncover this great secret."

Li Yu nodded slowly, agreeing.

Now both sides know each other's secrets.

Bai Xiuluo had already guessed the secret Zhou Xigang mentioned, so whether he said it or not made little difference.

The secret that Bai Xiura spoke of was far more important and dangerous than theirs.

After all, in this world, the heretics of the Mother must be eliminated.

The fact that Bai Xiuluo was willing to reveal this secret already demonstrates his sincerity.
