Chapter 54: Can You Really Still Draw This Thing?

Page 1/3

Chen Mo sent the seeds to Kaguya Houraisan, who explained that she had previously tried using the powers of Eternity and Moment to accelerate plant growth. However, although the seeds could sprout into plants, the fruits they bore lacked any flavor or nutritional value.

Although this flaw was eliminated after adjustments by Eirin Yagokoro, Kaguya also used her abilities to solidify a patch of land specifically for planting seeds that required a long time to mature. The acceleration efficiency was much lower than Han Li’s Sky-grasping Bottle, but it could affect a large area, nurturing numerous plants at once.

Chen Mo said it didn’t matter. After all, if Kaguya’s power could really rival the Sky-grasping Bottle, that would be terrifying...

Since the issue of rare and precious seeds was resolved, the next request was ready.

Chen Mo: “I’ll leave these seeds in the capable hands of Princess Kaguya and Daoist Han. Also, if your worlds have any corpses or flesh of special creatures, I’m willing to trade some resources from the Main God Space for them. Those materials are extremely useful to me.”

Lu Mingfei: “What do you want corpses for? Using them as necromancer ingredients?”

Chen Mo: “I’m not a necromancer; that’s my teammate... Hiss, I seem to have forgotten the corpse of a certain Southern Flame Continent team captain... Actually, I need it myself. You can understand it as me enhancing a virus-like exchange, similar to a black light virus, requiring the genetic power from these flesh and blood to strengthen myself.”

Lu Mingfei: “Wow, A-ge?”

Han Li: “I used to hunt monsters frequently, but I only took their demon cores and important body parts. I would burn the rest with fireballs to leave no trace. If Daoist Chen needs them, from now on, I can give you everything except the demon cores and special organs when I hunt.”

Aqua: “Our world has many magical beasts too!”

Aqua: “But either we can’t defeat them, or they get blown to smithereens by Megumin’s explosion magic... Sorry, this goddess can’t help you with that.”

Chen Mo: “It’s fine. Actually, I have another favor to ask of Miss Aqua...”

Chen Mo cheerfully sent Aqua a red envelope.

Without hesitation, Aqua opened it, and a dazzling pile of golden treasures appeared before her eyes.

“This...”

Blinded by the gleam of riches, Aqua’s face was utterly shocked, her mouth open wide enough to fit a fist inside—a truly excellent expression...

Chen Mo: “Half of this is a reward for Miss Aqua and your companions. You’ve been worried about money, right? This treasure should solve your funding problems.”

Chen Mo: “The other half is for purchasing supplies in your world—things like vegetables and monster meat that boost experience when eaten, magical artifacts, potions, spellbooks, and other precious items.”

Chen Mo: “Of course, if you can bring me some divine artifacts from the Celestial Realm or the like, I can offer even more generous rewards...”

Aqua: “Don’t worry! Leave it to me!”

Aqua: “I remember that guy named Kyouya Yagami has a divine artifact. I’ll steal it for you right away!”

The power of money was astonishing, and combined with Aqua’s lack of scruples, she immediately agreed to Chen Mo’s request.

Walon: “The power of money really is the strongest.”

Emiya Shirou: “I think it’s just personal motivation…”

Chen Mo: “I can’t use that artifact anyway... Wait, I recall the condition to use it is some kind of chuunibyou…”

Chen Mo: “Anyway, you’d better look for other divine artifacts. I’ve marked some information about them in the novel I sent you, so you can find those for me too...”

...

After some time, Chen Mo finally finalized the cooperation details with his teammates in the chat group. Satisfied, he flopped onto his bed. The precious flesh and blood, once carefully arranged around him like dragon liver and phoenix marrow, had all been eaten completely.

However, prices in the third generation world differed from the first generation. Rare treasures were generally much cheaper. For example, while a gram of mithril cost dozens of reward points in the first generation, here it could be bought by the kilogram.

Similarly, the Phoenix Gallbladder, worth 999 reward points, was essentially the life essence residue inside a near-fourth-rank bird demon beast with phoenix bloodline. Eating it made Chen Mo feel that his power and realm had jumped to a higher level. Combined with the previous accumulation of rare treasures he had consumed, his internal strength had multiplied a hundredfold, and its quality had greatly improved!

Perhaps, by simply eating, he could truly grow into a fourth-rank being before experiencing the next reincarnation world?

Hmm... maybe. The current rate of power growth was indeed frighteningly fast. Even though he had only just begun learning the Dragon Elephant Prajna and some other straightforward cultivation methods, and hadn’t started formal training, his strength had already reached second rank, nearly third. His vitality surged through his body; a single punch struck with the force of over a hundred tons. If he transformed his body to generate extraordinary organs and activated corresponding abilities, his combat power would increase drastically.

However, the higher the realm, the harder it was to advance. In the original story, the corpse king Long You reached god-level (equivalent to early fourth rank) so quickly because he was originally god-level. During thousands of years of imprisonment, his vitality had declined greatly. The entire H City arc and the first half of the Jing City arc were just him regaining his peak strength and trying to develop his corpse king abilities.

But for Chen Mo, it was different. He wasn’t some ruthless figure like Long You who already had early fourth-rank power before becoming a corpse king. His current power was far weaker. To reach Long You’s level, Chen Mo had a long way to go...

“Hm?”

While casually browsing the chat group, Chen Mo accidentally opened a feature called “Lottery Draw.” The available number of draws, which should have been zero, had mysteriously increased to one...

“Huh?”

Chen Mo was a bit stunned but instinctively chose to draw.

A flood of numbers surged before him, merging and dissipating in black and white repeatedly until only two digits remained...

[98]

[One-time gene lock advancement count]

[Can be used on oneself or others to raise the gene lock rank by one level, up to a maximum of early fourth-rank gene lock]

...What?

This chat group lottery draw could give out such abstract items?

Staring at the small white slip that read “Gene Lock Advancement” granted by the draw, Chen Mo’s mind fell into chaos.
