Chapter 70 - 70: 70: Notice to the Residents of
Upon arriving in Luo An City, Du Gang first visited Ma Li. He learned that Ma Li had already been examined by local doctors. Besides losing a leg, he was okay. Even the deadly factor of excessive blood loss became irrelevant, thanks to his supernatural abilities, which significantly improved his constitution and increased his blood production.
“Where’s Chu Zixuan?”
After leaving the shelter, Du Gang noticed that Chu Zixuan had been out of sight for a while, so he started looking for him.
Before he could find Chu Zixuan, King Kong Wang found him first.
“Du Gang, I’ve brought the crystals for you!”
He was carrying a particularly large backpack on his back, it was stuffed full with many items.
“So many?”
Du Gang was surprised, King Kong Wang’s backpack was much bigger than the one Chu Zixuan had used to collect crystals before. It seemed to contain thousands of crystals.
“Haha!”
King Kong Wang suddenly laughed, pulled out a small bag from his bosom, and chuckled, “This is yours!”
“Hmm?”
Du Gang knitted his brows, waiting for an explanation.
King Kong Wang laughed, “Rest assured, we wouldn’t withhold your crystals.
Last night, you killed a total of one hundred and fifty-three golden beetles, not to mention countless black beetles…”
“In theory, you should receive one hundred and fifty-three orange crystals, and almost two thousand red crystals…”
“You probably don’t know, superpowered people have ranks, they start at Red Level after awakening, and after evolution, they reach Orange Level…”
“Many of us are stuck at the peak of Red Level and can’t break through. So, the demand for Orange Level crystals is pretty high!”
“So, I want to exchange with you, one orange crystal for twenty red crystals…”
Fearing he might disagree, King Kong Wang hastily explained, “Our experts have calculated it, under normal conditions, the energy of one orange crystal equals to that of ten red crystals…”
Before he could finish, Du Gang immediately agreed, “Fine, I’ll exchange!”
The ratio of an orange crystal to a red one is indeed ten to one, he knew this through system conversion of Source Energy.
Now that Wang Dezhen was willing to exchange at a one-to-twenty ratio, he naturally had no objections.
Getting Du Gang’s affirmation, King Kong Wang laughed, “I knew you would agree, one hundred and fifty-three orange crystals equals three thousand sixty red ones. Including the black beetles you killed, you get a total of five thousand red crystals. Adding the agreed terms of our cooperation, we’ll double your five thousand red crystals, for a total of ten thousand red crystals!”
King Kong Wang put away the small bag filled with orange crystals, then took off the giant backpack from his back and handed it over with a laugh, “There are ten thousand red crystals in here. Do you want to count them?”
As soon as Du Gang heard that there were ten thousand red crystals inside, his eyes widened. He accepted it excitedly, “No need to count, I trust you!”
Then, the two casually exchanged a few words, and King Kong Wang left. Du Gang found a room by the roadside and went in.
“Absorb!”
Suddenly, the once fully loaded backpack deflated instantly.
[Absorbed ten thousand red Source Energy Crystals, obtained 24,258 points of Source Energy]
Adding the 2,544 points of Source Energy he had before, he now had a total of 26,802 points of Source Energy.
“Enough to upgrade to the second rank!”
Du Gang was a bit excited. He had upgraded all his rank one skills, and was just 10,000 points of Source Energy short of upgrading to rank two. And once at rank two, his height limit would be one hundred meters!
Just then, a series of footsteps approached the door, and Du Gang immediately came back to reality and looked towards the door. Soon, a slender figure slowly appeared.
“Chu Zixuan?
Du Gang was first surprised, then smiled, “I was just about to find you…”
Then, he told him about his cooperation with Wang Dezhen.
“Do you want to join me…”
Chu Zixuan slowly shook his head, “I plan to join the military!”
“Huh?”
Du Gang looked at him in surprise and confusion, “Didn’t you worry before that the military would dissect us?”
Chu Zixuan rolled his eyes helplessly, “If you want to understand it that way, I can’t help it…”
Seeing the certain look on Du Gang’s face, he explained, “I initially didn’t want to get involved with the military, fearing their leader might be a tyrant, and they might resort to violent suppression…”
“Violent suppression?”
Du Gang was stunned, “They are the military, we are civilians, what’s there to suppress?”
Chu Zixuan shook his head, “You don’t understand, power can easily corrode one’s heart. Superpowered people can threaten those in power. I was afraid that they would massacre civilian Superpowered individuals…”
“Fortunately, from my observations, the leader in the Nanyuan Military District is relatively enlightened!”
With that, he took out his phone, opened a photo and handed it over.
Du Gang was surprised, “Your phone still has battery?”
His phone had run out of power long ago, but Chu Zixuan’s somehow still worked.
Chu Zixuan laughed softly, “It’s a domestically produced Huawei phone, large battery capacity, the product is great!”
Hearing him say this, Du Gang felt bitter, pulled out his treasured, but now powerless, Apple phone, and crushed it with his bare hands.
“Crack!” In one squeeze, it was reduced to fragments.
Du Gang took the phone to look and saw that it was a notice.
‘”Notice to The Residents of Nanyuan Dawn City’?”
Chu Zixuan nodded, “Correct. The military has publicized our destination and journey route, Nanyuan’s Dawn City will be our future residence… They have also announced methods on how to become a Superpowered person, and have started to absorb civilians into the military. In addition, they also permit the formation of hunting teams by Superpowered individuals…”
“Meimu Mountain?”
Du Gang looked at the destination stated on the notice, feeling puzzled as he didn’t know where it was.
Chu Zixuan nodded, “There are many high mountains within Shuchuan, and this is one of them. However, that’s not the focal point. The key is, the military has detected that there are substantial amounts of Dawn Stone within this mountain encompassing the entire mountain…”
“Roughly estimated, it could accommodate nearly a million people…”
Du Gang understood then. He had previously heard humans cheering in the city and thought they were releasing pent up stress, playing joyously. Now it seemed, it was because the military had posted this notice!
“Quite good!”
Du Gang laughed, “Chu Zixuan, come with me. Let’s form a Superpowered team together and hunt beetles…”
Before he could finish his sentence, Chu Zixuan was already shaking his head, seriously saying, “You and I are different, Du Gang, your progress is too rapid. Have you ever seen a tiger teaming with a wolf?”
He continued, “With your capabilities, the conditions the military is offering you, including cooperating with them, suit you perfectly, but I am different. Compared to psychic power, my detection ability is what the military truly needs…”
“If I join the military, I not only would receive special protections but also special training…”
He was continually pondering the trade-offs. If he stayed with Du Gang, the most he could be was a member of a hunting team, receiving limited crystals.
Chu Zixuan paused, then added, “We both awakened our powers around the same time, but even though I snuck in more crystals, I still haven’t caught up to you…”
“Even, the gap between me and the military’s Superpowered individuals has widened. I’m now only at Red Level Rank 6, but in the military, I heard the strongest are already at Orange Level Rank 6 and their powers are rapidly advancing…” “I can share crystals with you…”
“Pointless!”
Chu Zixuan firmly rejected it, shaking his head, “You clear know, we will do better developing separately. You take the combat route, and I take the support route…”
He had been observing the camp for more than ten hours and felt fairly satisfied with the leader, Wang Dezhen, believing him to be a person worthy of loyalty. “We are classmates, still friends, right?”
“Yes!”
Chu Zixuan smiled and said, “So, don’t make it like we’re parting death do us part.. Maybe in the future, I’ll still come to assist you in battles!”
