Chapter 427 - 190: An 18-Magnitude Earthquake Triggered by a Piece of Spiritual Jade
Certainly, here is the translation:
The liaison stuffed his cheeks full, looking like a little hamster that had been fed.
Coupled with his startled expression and wide-open eyes, it looked somewhat comical.
He mechanically swallowed the last bite of his pancake, followed by a few gulps, his adam’s apple bobbing up and down.
"Senior... you... you must be joking with the junior... right?"
Forcing a smile, the liaison’s voice was trembling, his previously smooth tongue now stuttering.
"I wish I were really joking with you, but... the probability of an apocalyptic crisis is very high, otherwise, why would I be here? Wouldn’t it be better to constantly cultivate?" Lu Wenwu said calmly.
In fact, he truly wasn’t trying to scare this military liaison.
What good would scaring him do?
Just based on past dungeon experiences and the information provided by Liu Ming, any main task involving survival in high-tier dungeons tends to have an apocalyptic crisis.
The low-tier dungeons are merely about surviving in a certain extreme environment for a period, which high-tier ones don’t have anymore.
To say completely none would be an exaggeration, but they rarely occur.
High-tier dungeons test more on the player’s comprehensive qualities.
Not that specializing is definitely unworkable.
But to break the shortcoming effect, one must be like Lu Wenwu with a long board that stretches frighteningly long, long enough to use one board to piece together another new bucket.
Such powerful level allows one to ignore the comprehensive tests of the dungeons and pass them uniquely.
According to the normal walkthrough process, this type of dungeon requires players to constantly maneuver between various factions, understand the current world’s background, and unravel the truth behind the major events.
Ultimately, by continuously completing side quests and hidden tasks to acquire specific key items, they either delay the apocalyptic catastrophe or avoid it altogether, eventually averting the final crisis.
Such as those Lu Wenwu previously experienced like [Eternal Illusion] and [Descent of the Evil God] are of this type.
Requiring players to cautiously survive while evading crisis, or involve themselves in conflicts to remain a bystander.
Lu Wenwu, however, took the most outrageous yet simplest crude route—directly tearing through the dungeon.
That’s all.
The liaison certainly is the elite among elites in the military.
Even upon suddenly learning of the impending apocalyptic crisis within a year, he managed to suppress his emotions swiftly, forcibly restoring his composure.
"Senior, informing the junior, do you wish for the junior to report this to the government?" he asked solemnly.
As for doubting whether the other was joking?
The liaison wished he truly was joking!
If so, he’d recognize being demoted or even expelled from the military!
Lu Wenwu nodded gently: "Kind of, if you can find something out, that’d be best. Do remember to inform me then. However..."
"What concerns does the senior have?" the liaison appeared eager.
"If investigating this matter, you must be cautious. This issue likely involves Immortal Gods, or the long-lost Ancient Immortal Gods, so before solid evidence is found, don’t stir up too much noise." Lu Wenwu advised worriedly.
He was concerned that informing the world’s government would lead them to conduct an extensive search worldwide, stirring dissatisfaction from certain beings, thereby triggering the apocalyptic catastrophe prematurely.
That wouldn’t be good.
Based on current information, Lu Wenwu’s judgment inclined towards either an incident from the Divine Realm in the East or West, or Ancient Immortal Gods stirring trouble.
Even if mortals worldwide dropped nuclear bombs, Lu Wenwu wouldn’t die.
The system definitely knows this, so shouldn’t hand out such a pointless task.
Therefore, the issue could only lie with these cultivators.
Seeing Lu Wenwu no longer speak, the anxious liaison immediately said: "Is there any other task the senior wishes to entrust to the junior? If not, I shall report immediately."
"Hmm... you send me that smartphone and computer you mentioned, also buy me a house in the city center, preferably standalone."
While speaking, Lu Wenwu thought a bit more, opened the Spirit Heaven Cave Heaven, pulled out a superb spirit stone from the Spirit Vein.
"This, help me exchange it for your currency, keep the rest in the bank, and deduct the purchase funds from here."
The liaison, an ordinary person, couldn’t sense Spiritual Qi fluctuations.
He only felt that the fist-sized jade Lu Wenwu took out looked excessively magnificent, with vibrant greens exuding a stunning spirituality akin to objects that Immortal Gods from the Upper Realm might own.
"Senior, what is this?"
The liaison cradled it with both hands, afraid of dropping it.
"Um... according to your terms, probably a Top-grade Spirit Stone? Top-grade Spiritual Jade? Whatever, you just treat it as ordinary jade to put on sale in the auction, should be quite valuable here." Lu Wenwu dismissed it with a wave.
With a mountain and numerous Spirit Veins, he had plenty of such items, Mao Mao casually cultivated atop the Spirit Vein Dragon of the top-grade Spirit Vein.
When he cultivates, using Devouring Heaven and Earth to consume Spirit Stones and Spiritual Jade was too inefficient. Its speed wasn’t much different from absorbing Heaven and Earth Primordial Power for cultivation, plus it included the refinement process.
