Chapter 625: Chapter 454: Sudden Wealth in Yunhai City!
The guests chatted for a bit and quickly dispersed.
The current Dream connection is highly risky.
For Yunhai City, the disaster hadn’t fully passed yet; the leaders were busy dealing with the aftermath.
And Lu Yuan couldn’t offer much help, he could only pray for their speedy recovery…
“200-year-old big bro, I’m leaving~”
“Hold on, sis, got yourself a boyfriend yet? My hardworking old dad, toiled away, only for his cabbages to be uprooted by some pig.” Lu Yuan subconsciously chatted with her a little longer; it had been a while since he saw his sister, and he missed her a bit.
Lu Qingqing’s face soured as her voice rose, “No one is chasing me, I’m going to be one of those… childless cat-loving women!”
“Then you’re quite suited for Green Grass City, come here and work as a cleaning staff.”
“No way, even if I did come, I would be Princess of Green Grass’s close girlfriend, enjoying all the best food and drinks.” Lu Qingqing linked arms with Conch Girl very affectionately.
Lu Yuan frowned and criticized inwardly, with your character, and you still damn well want to be a princess; even the Holy King has a level distinction, okay?
“Uh… how are mom and dad?”
Speaking of this, Lu Qingqing blabbered on, “They’re fine… no need for you to worry, both are Level Two experts, mom’s cultivation aptitude isn’t bad, she’s already 2.8 Level, now surpassing dad at 2.1 Level. You know, resources are always prioritized for our family.”
“And what level are you?”
“I… just reached Level Two.”
Damn it, two years and only Level Two, Lu Yuan felt a rush of exasperation, but he couldn’t blame Yunhai City.
“Moreover… now that they’ve regained their youth, it’s a bit annoying, you know, they have fewer wrinkles on their faces, better figures, looking like young girls and boys, being all lovey-dovey every night… I’m worried they might have another baby… just thinking about it annoys me. Seems like they’re entertaining the idea.”
“Pfft~” Conch couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
“Have another baby then, what’s it to you, you cat-loving lady! Doesn’t concern you!” Lu Yuan retorted, “You’re so keen on monopolizing the inheritance already? Never realized you were such a person before.”
Lu Qingqing, angry enough to clench her tiny fists, pummeled Lu Yuan, pouting and exclaiming, “Big sis, he’s calling me a cat-loving lady every day!!”
“Then you scold him back!”
Old Lu was secretly thrilled getting beaten up; picking on his sister was indeed one of the greatest joys in life.
Now picking on his own sister and later on, he can pick on Conch Girl…
Well, this is essentially the cultural gap between long-lived and short-lived species.
It’s only been two years over at Yunhai City, and traditional concepts still prevail. If siblings differ by a few years, it’s still somewhat acceptable. But if brothers are twenty to thirty years apart that’s just parents being unreliable. Having kids at such an old age, isn’t that just causing trouble for the eldest?
Over at Green Grass City, they’ve accepted the fact that humans can live to a ripe old age—being fifty years apart and still considered the same generation!!
After hanging out for a while, Lu Qingqing left reluctantly, “I’m off, people are waiting for me outside.”
After everyone left, Lu Yuan visited the Parasol Tree Dream again, seeing the dying Twin Ginkgo Tree.
It looked extremely weak, unable to even make a rustling sound.
On the trunk, engraved with some complex symbols glowing faintly, forming a Tai Chi Eight Diagram, that was the so-called space-related “Innate Engraving”.
In the obscure, a mysterious force pierced through space and time, linking the Parasol Tree with the Immortal Palace, turning the Parasol Tree into the simplest form of a [temple]
What’s called [temple] doesn’t necessarily have to be magnificent and grand.
It only requires a connection with “Immortal Palace”.
A stone, a big tree, all could serve as a [temple].
But given this [temple] is in the world of dreams, it’s not stable, plus the “Immortal Palace” fundamentally lacks dream capabilities. Those painstakingly engraved Innate Engravings, costing 5 points of Luck, are being assimilated by the Dream.
“My 5 points of Luck wasted just like that?”
After studying it for a while, Lu Yuan chose to give up, “Nevermind, it was an immature thing after all. Lucky for you… Conch, help me out.”
Lu Yuan decided to be generous to the end; on the Parasol Tree’s trunk, he engraved a complex group of Engravings.
This was actually the great accomplishment of 48 years of research by the Human 18th Civilization—Harvest Blessing!
This technology is standard Third-level Civilization Technology.
Only a small expenditure of Civilization Points, or “Luck”, is needed to greatly accelerate the growth, Life Force, and recovery abilities of plants, as well as hasten their Evolution, particularly effective for precious plants!
5 points of Civilization Points can maintain the “Harvest Blessing” state for a whole five hundred years—after all, only one Parasol Tree enjoying this powerful buff can indeed last quite a long time!
Lu Yuan suffered heartache, “Such extravagance, dammit, I’ve never been this extravagant with myself. You just stay put… guard humanity, look after my relatives, hear me?”
“Rustle rustle!” The Parasol Tree revitalized, coming back to life, receiving 5 points of Luck, which was like an unprecedented huge tonic.
Lu Yuan always felt like it had been playing dead the whole time, everyone, be it Old Deng or Little Deng, seemed to know this trick these days.
But now that the Gold Coin has been thrown out, there was no way to take it back.
He whispered to Conch, “What do you think about that ‘Frost Mist Demon’? To be honest, can we take it on?”
