Chapter 77

"Cattle and horses have to eat grass, and corporate slaves have to drink coffee and milk tea. After being busy for two and a half years, I have to catch my breath!"

"I am a human, not a robot!"

Red Queen raises her eyebrows, seeing Meng Yi's intention to joke, and cooperates by counting on her fingers, saying seriously: "Director, in a sense, you, me, and the Moon Apostle are all computer matrices that have become sentient."

"Not to mention the 'Bai Xue Battle Body 1.0' and 'Bai Xue Battle Body 2.0', even you, after being modified by the 'Longevity Gene·Type III·Virus Progenitor', are a virus that has become sentient, right?"

The winking little Red Queen pats the Moon Apostle on the shoulder.

"Little Moon, you say a fair word, am I right or wrong?"

The Moon Apostle's eyes dodge, and she speaks vaguely: "Probably, maybe, perhaps..."

"Hmm?!"

Meng Yi, who is 'furious', snorts coldly.

The obedient Moon Apostle activates "Space Teleportation" to draw a line with the rebellious little Red Queen.

The Moon Apostle crosses her hands and says with a serious face: "What's right! Nonsense! It's simply a pack of lies!"

"Whoever dares to deny the Creator's human race, I, the Moon Apostle, will be the first to disagree!"

"The Moon Apostle was born in the Infinite City, how can I live under others for long?"

"Old senior, I've long been displeased with you! You are the one who doesn't listen to the Creator all day long!"

In order to express her determination to be at odds with Red Queen, she specially condensed a Sky-Piercing Painted Halberd for backstabbing, and poked Red Queen twice from hundreds of meters away.

"Alright, alright, stop playing around."

"You two do whatever you want, I'll study the 'Promotion Assessment'."

Meng Yi separates the two troublemakers, finds a sofa, and lies on it like a salted fish that has lost its dreams.

Gently stroking the Paradise badge, he calls out the personal information panel and clicks on the entry for "Promotion Assessment" to read it.

"Promotion Assessment," referred to as the 'trash-fish-mixer-remover'.

Every opening of the "Promotion Assessment" can be called a hell for slackers.

The death rate of trash fish at the current rank is at least 80%, and at most 100%.

Even if slackers are lucky enough to pass the dungeon by hugging a big thigh, they have no way to successfully promote.

The next dungeon continues the "Promotion Assessment" until death, or until they complete the main quest with their own ability.

The difficulty of the "Promotion Assessment" from First Rank to Second Rank is not too high.

Even if a trash-fish player goes from lv1 to lv9 and experiences 8 dungeons, each time getting the minimum guarantee, they can still get 8 F-rank evaluations.

As long as they are not harvested too hard, reasonably use the dungeon harvest, and proficiently master the three elements of essence, energy, and spirit, there is still a great chance of successfully crossing the tribulation.

Haven't mastered the three elements of essence, energy, and spirit?

Then sorry, you were given eight chances and couldn't grasp them, so dying is just dying.

Meng Yi touches his chin and says thoughtfully: "My B-minus comprehensive evaluation, could it be another fish pond game?"

"No!"

Immediately denying the arrogant thought, Meng Yi's relaxed expression gradually became solemn.

"Compared to dungeons, players are the biggest variable!"

"I can fish-fry at the First Rank, it doesn't exclude that other monsters can also fish-fry at the First Rank!"

Not to mention the distant ones, just take Flandre, this heavyweight leek player.

No need to target specifically, the vast majority of First Rank players will definitely not be able to withstand the aftermath of Flandre's actions.

"Will I meet First Rank players similar to me in the 'Promotion Assessment'?"

Competing on the same stage with evenly matched opponents, the collision of each other's thinking sparks is far more efficient than closing the door and building a car.

"Don't let me down, 'Promotion Assessment'..."

With a thought, he dismisses the personal information panel; the Paradise stay period and the 'rest period' at home cannot be wasted.

Meng Yi intends to stretch his muscles in the Warhammer worldview.

With his current strength, suppressing the hive city cesspool of 016-701 resource star·Norexia should not be a big problem.

It shouldn't be that a bird-doesn't-poop hive city star would suddenly have a C'tan shard pop out from a corner; a Necron dynasty buried underground; an Ork seeding machine in the wild; other planet nesting dolls·Eldar in the star system; 'Tau' eager to try; and the Astra Militarum of the Terra Empire recovering lost territory?

That would be too outrageous.

If that were really the case, Meng Yi would decisively pack his bags and run away overnight. Driving the "Infinite City·Space-Time Fortress" to accelerate hard in the universe, stacking to sub-light speed to start racing, and completely saying goodbye to the hive city cesspool!

"So, to transform the hive city cesspool, I need a lot of energy, at least I have to fill up 100 'Infinite City·Energy Hubs'."

Through the "Infinite City·Heavenly Net," Meng Yi takes a look at the 'reserve hidden energy', the scarlet characters marked: 0.01274% is shocking.

"Buy! If you don't spend Paradise Coins, you can't catch the wolf!"

"Taking down the hive city cesspool to act as a bridgehead, C'tan shards, Necrons, Old One relics, Terra Empire, Tyranids, Tau, Eldar... and even the Warp, sooner or later they will all be mine!"

Meng Yi's eyes are fierce and greedy; even if he slaughtered all the bastards in the Warhammer home, he wouldn't have the slightest bit of softheartedness.

"Just spending savings won't work, I have to use money to make money!"

Through the good teammate of the Demon Slayer dungeon·Miss Qilin, it is not difficult to see.

High-rank monsters rarely sell items that fundamentally strengthen essence, energy, and spirit.

Monsters only use equipment and consumables to harvest leeks, how could they water and fertilize the leeks?

Just in case, Meng Yi went to the auction house in the "Free Trade Zone" to take a look.

Sure enough, there are almost no items that strengthen the basic quality of leek players.

The few 'great philanthropists' who sold basic strengthening items were snapped up immediately.

"Great potential! Great potential!"

Meng Yi's eyes shine; he doesn't care about breaking the market's hidden rules.

The one breaking the hidden rules is the "Fifth Rank Monster·Bai Mo," what does it have to do with him, "First Rank Player·Bai Mo"?

The Paradise monsters don't have the ability to break the rules set by the "Evolution Paradise" to go to low-rank dungeons to settle accounts with Meng Yi.

Meng Yi, having made up his mind, begins to act.

Excluding the 3,000 Paradise Coins for transforming the exclusive room, the remaining 52,000 Paradise Coins and 1C+1D Origin Crystals were spent almost entirely.

Only 2 B-rank Origin Crystals + 2,000 Paradise Coins were kept for emergencies.

It took a total of 5 days to produce 50 "Longevity·Type I (Castrated Version)", 20 "Longevity·Type II (Castrated Version)", 5 "Longevity·Type III (Castrated Version)", and 3 "Longevity·Type IV (Castrated Version)".

【Name: Longevity·Type I

"Hmm, not bad, not bad."

"Castrated all the virus, pollution, body alienation, transmission, and ancestor-type abilities of the potions to prevent the leeks from playing themselves to death."

"Castrated the phagocytic evolution and cell-level immortality of 'Longevity·Type III' to prevent the leeks from growing too fast, so they can be repeatedly harvested... cough cough, so I can often take care of old customers."

"I really am a great philanthropist of the Paradise who thinks for the leeks!"

Meng Yi, having accomplished his task, nods with satisfaction, stuffs the potions into the storage space, and swaggeringly goes to harvest the leeks from Rank 1 to Rank 4.

Leaving the Fifth Rank residential area, Meng Yi didn't go to the auction house in the Fifth Rank Free Trade Zone; feeling restless, he changed his path and went to the Free Trade Zone for First Rank players.

Arriving at the First Rank·Commercial Street, the disguised Meng Yi paid 50 Paradise Coins to rent a shop for 24 hours.

He discovered quite a few 'peers'.

But it doesn't matter, everyone's track for harvesting leeks is different, cooperation and win-win, right?

Putting up 50 "Longevity·Type I" and 20 "Longevity·Type II", it immediately attracted many First Rank leeks to watch.

"Hiss! Terrifying! One potion can raise body strength to the First Rank limit?"

"'Longevity·Type II' can also raise it to the E+ body strength of a Second Rank big shot?!"

The ignorant First Rank leeks shout and scream.

"Boss, how much for 'Longevity·Type I'?"

Behind the stall, Meng Yi, sitting on a small stool, smiles and says: "Cheap, one price: 2,000 Paradise Coins + 3 F-rank evaluations."

Fifth Rank players can synthesize low-level Origin Crystals into high-level Origin Crystals, with a synthesis limit of B-rank, 'small profits but quick turnover', right.

The leek asking the price was startled by the price; this is the sum of his harvest from two dungeons!

"Big Boss, can it be cheaper? Your stuff is good, but the price is indeed a bit..."

Meng Yi's smile remains: "You name a number."

The leek tentatively says: "800 Paradise Coins, 1 F-rank evaluation, how about it? Boss, you take a little loss, and when I pass the promotion assessment in the next dungeon and promote to Rank 2, I'll come back to you to buy 'Longevity Gene·Type II'."

Meng Yi says faintly: "Poor X, if you don't have money, don't disturb my business."

The poor leek is indignant and leaves while cursing.

Next dungeon "Promotion Assessment"?

What a coincidence.

Kid, you'd better hope we don't end up in the same dungeon, otherwise you'll definitely die!

There are also leeks with bulging wallets waving banknotes to send money to Meng Yi.

In the morning, the "Longevity·Type II" intended to attract leeks' attention didn't sell, but 43 "Longevity·Type I" were sold.

Meng Yi's goods are worth the price, and the cost-performance ratio even exceeds the Paradise strengthening zone.

The leeks who 'picked up a treasure' spread the word, and soon attracted more leeks to come and 'pick up leaks'.

The remaining seven "Longevity·Type I" were also successfully sold.

A total harvest of 100,000 Paradise Coins + 150 F crystals, which is 1B+2C+1D+2E.

The cost of 50 "Longevity·Type I" is less than one-tenth of the harvest!

Ten times the profit is too terrifying!

This is simply robbing money! No wonder Fifth Rank players are all monsters.

B-rank dungeon evaluation + 4 player levels, you have to participate in the promotion assessment every 2~3 dungeons.

Dungeon harvests are limited, but the growth speed of Fifth Rank monsters can still be fierce; it turns out all of it is resources from harvesting leeks!

Meng Yi's heart is flowing with tears; he was too simple when the selection dungeon ended.

He actually forgot to check the low-end market conditions, missing an opportunity to harvest leeks and become stronger.

Loss! A huge loss!

After selling "Longevity·Type I", Meng Yi was just about to close the stall and go to the Second Rank commercial street to continue harvesting leeks, but he discovered the trail of an old acquaintance·Luo Ji.

Not seen for one dungeon, Luo Ji has aged a lot.

Half of Luo Ji's black hair is dyed gray, wrinkles appear at the corners of his eyes, and his skin has become loose and sagging, a typical symptom of excessive life force loss.

"Yo, Wallfacer brother, you've come to go shopping too?"

Meng Yi, whose skin is as thick as the atmosphere of a mimetic planet, acts naturally and greets Luo Ji without any unfamiliarity.

Luo Ji's face twitches unnaturally, and after a moment of silence, he says slowly: "Bai Mo brother, long time no see."

Meng Yi packs up the stall; he no longer cares about the 50 Paradise Coins/day stall fee.

"Find a place to chat?"

Seeing that Luo Ji seems to have a request, Meng Yi takes the initiative to offer a step.

"... That's fine."

Not walking far, the two find a teahouse in the commercial area and sit opposite each other in a private room.

Before Luo Ji can speak, Meng Yi takes the initiative to ask: "Luo brother, how did you get like this?"

Luo Ji sighs, his face full of emotion.

"Don't mention it, the last dungeon was a supernatural type, those zombies were really outrageous, it's good enough to save a life by relying on the Daoist priest in the dungeon."

Supernatural? Zombies? Daoist priest?

Meng Yi raises his eyebrows, "Luo brother, can you tell me in detail? I'm quite interested in the dungeon you mentioned."

Luo Ji naturally has no objection.

After some exchange, through the name "Maoshan Daoist·Uncle Nine·Lin Fengjiao," Meng Yi confirms that Luo Ji experienced a zombie-type dungeon.

Main quest: Solve at least one disaster caused by zombies, demons, or ghosts.

More than twenty players with a comprehensive F-rank evaluation were mostly killed or injured, and Luo Ji was almost killed by a female ghost...

Meng Yi is puzzled: "Luo brother, didn't you learn a trick or two from the Daoist priest?"

Luo Ji shakes his head and smiles bitterly: "I have no money, no connections, and the start was not smooth, meeting a female ghost. That female ghost actually turned into the appearance of my wife, and there was mental charm..."

"Alas, I wanted to apprentice to him, but unfortunately the Daoist priest said that accepting apprentices cannot be rushed, he already has a successor, and in the end, it could only be left unsettled."

What a speechless event! Even the 'Teacher of Ten Thousand Worlds·Uncle Nine' couldn't lift you up?

"Luo brother, why did you 'coincidentally meet' me in the commercial area today?"

Meng Yi pretends to be ignorant.

Not turning back until hitting the south wall, knowing the pain after breaking his head and bleeding?

Old Luo, where is your persistence? Where is your aloofness? Where is your self-importance?

At the beginning, I gave you free strengthening in the selection dungeon, and you decisively refused; now you know to come and beg me?

Obviously, it's a small matter that could be solved by sending a message, but Luo Ji had to complicate it.

At noon today, Luo Ji talked to a neighbor who bought "Longevity·Type I" and found out that 'Bai Mo' appeared in the First Rank commercial area, so he ran over in a hurry to create a 'coincidental meeting'.

Perhaps he felt that face-to-face communication is more sincere?

Luo Ji's kind is the process of normal First Rank players gradually changing.

Ryougi Shiki and Flandre, who had good starts, were almost ruined by Meng Yi.

Meng Yi, tempered by the Warhammer cesspool, has long been full of all kinds of poisons, his bottom line is extremely flexible, and his compatibility with the Paradise is extremely high, which can be called a 'natural Paradise monster'.

——

Broke my word, Old Fire didn't appear today, he will tomorrow.

A certain "Qi You Rong Nai Da" is spreading the bad deeds of 'Bai Mo' everywhere.

Bai Mo successfully made it to the monster list of the Third Rank area (D).

Coincidentally, Old Fire also brushed a D evaluation and promoted to the Third Rank~
