Chapter 49

That night, although a lone man and many women were in the same room, Yun Shen still did nothing.

While others began to cultivate, he was still working hard to refresh the Source Crystal affixes; otherwise, the Source Crystals would not be enough for cultivation.

After all, the portion of special Source Crystals that Yun Shen had stored previously had all been taken away by Chairman Cai as samples; none were left.

Of course, the batch of special Source Crystals given to Chairman Cai was considered a purchase, and the price given was already considered high in Yun Shen’s view.

After having a certain amount of special Source Crystal stock, Yun Shen also began his own cultivation for the night.

Tonight, he would definitely be able to raise his aptitude to Blue Rare!

Yun Shen calmed his heart, holding a Source Crystal in his hand that had been added with the golden [Strengthen Root Bone] affix.

This final step—he would definitely be able to take it tonight!

Perhaps because he was about to reach another level, in Yun Shen’s perception, the speed of aptitude improvement had decreased slightly.

Yun Shen didn't care about this; he could only say that he had expected it.

With the continuous improvement of his aptitude, the effect of this special Source Crystal on him would only get lower and lower.

But as long as he spent enough time, he could obtain continuous improvement!

Surpassing level 100 would allow one to become a god, living as long as the heavens. By then, he would have enough time to squander!

As the Source Crystal energy poured into Yun Shen’s body bit by bit, his attributes and aptitude were also improving bit by bit.

At a certain moment, Yun Shen felt a sense of clarity throughout his body, and even the world seemed to have undergone some changes in his eyes.

He knew that this was the change in comprehension brought about by the improvement in aptitude.

The higher the comprehension, the more profound and tricky the perspective on the world becomes; some can even perceive the truths of the world from a single flower or blade of grass.

"Finally promoted to rare aptitude!"

After looking at his information, Yun Shen was very satisfied. This feeling of being able to make continuous progress through hard work was really great.

The corporate slaves in reality choose to slack off at work because they cannot see a future.

If they were given a not-too-excessive work target, and as long as they completed it every day, they could be guaranteed a promotion and a raise, then apart from the hopeless trash, who would slack off?

"Continue cultivating!"

Once his aptitude improved, Yun Shen felt his mind was clearer. Plus, young people like to stay up late anyway, so he estimated he could cultivate until very late tonight.

Absorbing the Source Crystal again, the speed of aptitude improvement indeed dropped by a large margin; it wasn't as fast as before.

Thinking about it, it made sense. One or two special Source Crystals could pull his aptitude to Blue Rare. If it were this simple later on, lords with high aptitude wouldn't be so rare.

Time passed bit by bit in this quiet atmosphere. No one spoke in the alloy safe house; everyone was quietly cultivating, trying to improve themselves.

At first, Yun Shen could often receive notification sounds of Profound Heaven Iron Maidens killing wild monsters, but later he turned off the notification function for troop kills.

Many lords do this; otherwise, if they have thousands of troops under their command in the future, wouldn't they be annoyed to death if they kept receiving notifications?

He was not worried that the Profound Heaven Iron Maidens would encounter danger. With the five-fold attribute bonus, ordinary wild monsters would not be their match.

Not to mention that there was Teacher Jiang Lan; the brain chip had a networking function. As long as they were within range, the Profound Heaven Iron Maidens could contact Teacher Jiang Lan at any time.

At a certain moment, Yun Shen stood up, preparing to go to the bathroom.

He was still a mortal, and he still had to eat, drink, defecate, and sleep, and would be troubled by the three urgencies.

Yun Shen walked out of the alloy safe house to the smart restroom to relieve himself, easing the pressure on his bladder.

Just as he walked out, preparing to go back to continue cultivating, he saw the gate of the thorn fence being pushed open, and ten Profound Heaven Iron Maidens returned from outside the territory.

Their bodies were now covered by nano-colonization, looking like silver-gray female versions of Iron Man, full of a sense of technology and... blood!

Every Profound Heaven Iron Maiden was stained with blood at this moment.

As for why they didn't go to clean up, it was probably to maintain the efficiency of monster grinding and they didn't want to waste the time.

Yun Shen glanced at the time and found that it was exactly twelve o'clock midnight.

This sense of time was too strong; they were worthy of being "products" from the production line, just like robots following the rules.

The Profound Heaven Iron Maidens didn't expect to see the Lord "welcoming" them as soon as they returned, and they all seemed a bit flattered.

"Lord! Do you have any instructions for us?"

Yun Shen looked left and right, feeling that he should say something at this time.

"Ahem, you’ve worked hard tonight. Let me give you an upgrade."

Yun Shen looked solemn, very much like a leader rewarding subordinates who had worked hard through the night.

[You have consumed 5,500 Soul Crystals to upgrade the Profound Heaven Iron Maiden Production Line to Level 3.]

[You have consumed 5,500 Soul Crystals to upgrade 10 Profound Heaven Iron Maidens (Epic) to Level 3.]

These Soul Crystals were the harvest of the Profound Heaven Iron Maidens’ hard battle tonight; they had indeed worked hard.
