Chapter 232: 130,000 Grams

Lin Yao, who was alone, projected his consciousness into the Sea of Consciousness. As he had advanced to become a warlord some time ago, his Sea of Consciousness had changed drastically. The first change was the sacred tree. There were three different types of sacred trees, which were like the three pivots of the equilateral triangle rooted in his Sea of Consciousness.

A sacred tree glowed with a white and gold radiance, as if it had been cast with mithril. The large branches were luxuriant, and there was a holy aura around the tree. At the same time, in the center of the luxuriant tree top was a sleeping holy infant that looked pure. This was the Celestial Tree.

There was another sacred tree that was filled with thunder and lightning, and a winged serpent wandered around the tree, absorbing the thunderbolts that emanated from the sacred tree and perceiving the pattern of thunder and lightning on the tree. This was the Tree of Heaven Punishment.

The last sacred tree was old and simple, with an inexplicable Taoist aura radiating from it. Just by looking at the sacred tree, one felt a sense of clarity in one’s mind. This was the Bodhi Tree that had been recently planted.

The Celestial Tree, the Tree of Heaven Punishment, and the Bodhi Tree were the three foundations of Lin Yao, and the Celestial Tree was the first to be planted.

However, if one looked closely, although the three sacred trees were around dozens of meters tall, the Celestial Tree, which had been planted first, was the smallest.

Lin Yao was helpless as well.

‘After my hypostasis advanced to a Gold Person, I didn’t invest any energy points in the three sacred trees, but the sacred trees themselves can absorb external resources and grow.

‘The Tree of Heaven Punishment absorbs thunder and lightning, which is the easiest. When I undergo electric current development every day, the sacred tree will also absorb electric current to grow. Whenever there are breaks in between the development, the Tree of Heaven Punishment will also absorb thunder and lightning. Right now, it has accumulated more than 13,000 points and has made progress.

‘The Bodhi Tree is special. What it needs is not energy but knowledge. The Light-Bulb Moment also uses my knowledge as its operating basis. Although I was not a top student in the past, after planting the Bodhi Tree and advancing it to a Gold Person, the first talents, Photogenic Memory and Agile Mind, allow me to read a lot of books in a short time. The chance of triggering the Light-Bulb Moment might be smaller, but each trigger allows me to integrate the knowledge I have learned into my own. I can understand a thick and difficult science book in one hour. When I am learning to improve my knowledge, the Bodhi Tree is also growing, and its current progress is 6,000 points.’

Compared to the one million grams of energy required for the sacred tree to advance again, the several thousand or ten thousand grams of energy might seem very little, but Lin Yao accumulated this much in slightly more than a week. In the long run, this would be a considerable amount.

Both the Tree of Heaven Punishment and the Bodhi Tree were growing with Lin Yao, but the Celestial Tree was neglected.

It was not that it could not absorb energy to grow quickly. The huge amounts of absorbed sunlight it accumulated every day were its resources to grow.

However, the power of light was of great use to Lin Yao. The power of light was needed to heal and recover the body during the electric current development. The Light Adjustment also needed a large amount of power of light to optimize Lin Yao’s body.

Finally, for his own safety, Lin Yao would also store a large amount of power of light for unforeseeable circumstances. For various reasons, although Lin Yao absorbed a lot of power of light, it could not be used to aid in the Celestial Tree’s growth. This was why it remained the same.

‘The Armored Body Of Light is the core of my rapid training, and I must first improve it. However, I don’t want to slow down the progress of physical training. If I want to advance the Celestial Tree, I will need more energy points.’

While thinking about this, Lin Yao looked at the top of the three sacred trees, where a large number of green energy balls were floating in the sky.

‘They are very similar to the small balls in the Ant Forest. I always feel like clicking and stealing them when I see them.’

Shaking his head and dismissing these nonsensical thoughts, Lin Yao looked around and saw that the largest green energy ball was above the Celestial Tree, with 310,879 grams clearly written inside, which was more than 310,000 grams of energy.

This was the remaining energy that Lin Yao had. The financial backer who had invested in Lin Yao had given him more than 100 million yuan, which provided him with around 400,000 grams of energy in total. After fusing and advancing the Bodhi Tree to a Gold Person, he’d used up 100,000 grams of energy and was now left with around 310,000 grams of energy.

This energy cluster was like a green sun suspended in space, and in addition to this green energy cluster, there was also a large number of green small balls suspended in the air.

As Lin Yao stared at them, many messages appeared in his mind.

[The host killed the servant corpse and made a contribution to society, thus gaining 10 grams of energy.]

[The host killed the servant corpse and made a contribution to society, thus gaining 10 grams of energy.]

[The host killed the black umbrella freak and made a contribution to society, thus gaining 7,000 grams of energy.]

[The host saved Cui Huo, Yang Zheng, Lin Ru, Xie An… thus gaining 11,000 grams of energy.]

…

Those little energy balls were all rewards that Lin Yao had earned by killing evil spirits. Although most of them were rewards of 10 grams of energy he had gotten by killing servant corpses, in addition to the few freaks, he had gained a total of 21,000 grams of energy.

With this energy, as well as the energy he had gained by saving several high-level silver warlords, Lin Yao gained a total of 32,000 grams of energy.

The 30,000 grams of energy was already quite a lot. When converted into money, it was already 9.6 million yuan. This meant that Lin Yao had made a total of 10 million yuan tonight.

Lin Yao valued this money, but he would not have been this excited if that had been all.

What Lin Yao was really excited about was the second-largest energy ball in his Sea of Consciousness.

[The host killed the consciousness of the mirror space and made a great contribution to society. Congratulations on obtaining 130,000 grams of energy.]

He had received 130,000 grams of energy just for killing the mirror space freak. This was the reason he was happy.

‘The black umbrella only provided 7,000 grams of energy. The mirror space was stronger, but I thought it would only provide 30,000 to 50,000 grams of energy. I didn’t expect to get 130,000 grams of energy.’

This was why Lin Yao was puzzled, but the Bodhi Tree helped him clear his doubts. While Lin Yao was thinking about it, the Light-Bulb Moment was triggered. Inexplicably, Lin Yao recalled the conversation between Cui Huo and his teammates this afternoon.

‘The freaks might have a low IQ, but they will actively attack and kill human geniuses. According to the research, killing these geniuses will bring about huge benefits…’

Cui Huo’s teammate was the one who had made this comment. The Light-Bulb Moment helped Lin Yao recall what he had said. At the same time, he also remembered that although the mirror space was not considered strong among the freaks, it had great potential and strange and mysterious abilities. It could be regarded as a genius among the freaks.

When he understood all this, some thoughts popped into his mind.

‘So, not only do freaks get these rewards when they kill human geniuses, but the same happens when humans kill freak geniuses.’

After he discovered this, Lin Yao’s first thought was, ‘Compared to dealing with the powerhouses among the freaks, it is better to deal with the freaks who have great potential. This will be less dangerous, and I will also receive a lot of rewards.’

However, he soon sighed. ‘The Hidden Dragon List ranks human geniuses, but the freaks are unpredictable. I have no idea which of them is a genius!’

Shaking his head in distress, Lin Yao was already ready to give up on this method of gaining rewards when the Light-Bulb Moment came into play again.
