Chương 46: Chapter 45 :- Spiritual Crystal and Life Crystal
Lu Yu's knowledge of Chu Feng and Yan Yun, the main characters, is due to the four character cards provided by the system, which clearly outline their relationships.
As for the presence of other heroines in Chu Feng's main storyline, Lu Yu can only speculate based on his own experiences.
Lu Yu had suspicions about Li Wanning. Despite Shen Bin's presence, he couldn't definitively confirm her identity as a heroine. After all, it's not unusual for a beautiful woman like Li Wanning to have a wealthy and attractive man like Shen Bin by her side.
However, Yan Yun's description has led Lu Yu to firmly believe in Li Wanning's identity as a heroine.
Li Wanning, despite being 27 years old, has never had a boyfriend. This seems quite unreasonable for such an attractive woman. It's a well-known fact that in movies or novels, to cater to the readers' preferences, the heroine is often portrayed as a young girl.
Regardless of whether the woman is eighteen, twenty-eight, or thirty-eight, married or not, as long as she is the heroine, she is always portrayed as a virgin.
Married women are not with ordinary men. A woman with a baby, if the baby is not the protagonist, it must be adopted. Older women either haven't met the right one, or they want to save their first time until they get married.
In short, there are all kinds of strange reasons to leave this heroine's first time to the male lead, even if this reason is very unreasonable!
Consider the case of Li Wanning. While her physical attributes may be the topic of many conversations, her personality is decidedly conservative, deeply rooted in traditional values. Her commitment to her studies is such that she has no time for romantic pursuits!
When her parents brought the subject of marriage, she reassured them that she was not in a rush.
Consequently, she has remained single to this day. Eventually, her family, eager to welcome a grandchild, introduced her to a man named Shen Bin.
Shen Bin is a distinguished individual who recently returned from studying overseas. Interestingly, he and Li Wanning share a common past.
They not only hail from the same village but also attended the same primary school. Upon discovering this connection, Li Wanning, who initially had no intention of going on a blind date with Shen Bin, decided to meet him.
This decision further highlights the unique character of Li Wanning.
In the Xia Kingdom,
Most people prefer to have their blind dates at lunch or dinner time. This is because sharing a meal is seen as a social activity that can help foster a closer relationship. After the meal, there's also ample time for the couple to spend together.
However, in her case, she chose to have her blind date in the morning. The reason being, she had to rush back to teach her students after the date. They agreed to meet at a breakfast shop located downstairs of a hotel.
But then, an unexpected event occurred and the apocalypse began. The owner of the breakfast shop turned into a zombie, forcing them to flee to the hotel.
Lu Yu speculated that she was supposed to be one of the members of Chu Feng's harem.
However, his presence disrupted the original plot.
If it weren't for him, Li Wanning would have formed a team with Manager Zhao and others under Shen Bin's care. Once Chu Feng had finished dealing with the school's affairs and the inferiority of his and his team was almost exposed, Shen Bin, growing impatient with Li Wanning, would have plotted against her.
At that moment, Chu Feng would have appeared like a divine soldier descending from the sky, slapping Shen Bin in the face and taking her under his protection.
But now, with Lu Yu in the picture, everything has changed. Yan Yun, after finishing her narration, noticed Lu Yu's expression and asked, "Lu Yu, why are you asking so many questions?
Do you also have feelings for Teacher Li?"
Li Wanning is not only beautiful but also taller and more voluptuous than Yan Yun. Her peach-shaped figure, especially when viewed from behind, is something that many men find attractive.
This led Yan Yun to question Lu Yu's true intentions. However, Lu Yu dismissed her concerns, saying,
"You don't need to worry about that!"
He didn't feel the need to explain further, believing that there are numerous ways to enhance one's strength.
From the rewards that Lu Yu received as a result of altering Yan Yun destiny, it appears that acquiring the protagonist might be a quicker route to enhancing one's strength than using the crystal nucleus.
If we consider that a single heroine contributed 10 points to all attributes, it stands to reason that the protagonist, who is generally quite powerful, would offer even more.
Lu Yu is of the opinion that Chu Feng's status as the protagonist is not solely due to his combat experience and the luck of rebirth; there must be other factors at play. Lu Yu just needs to discover what these are.
Therefore, it seems logical that obtaining the crystal core should be a secondary objective, while the primary focus should be on defeating the protagonist.
Having established that Li Wanning is a heroine, the question now is how to best utilize her.
Should she be directly confronted?
It doesn't seem like this would have any impact on the protagonist, does it?
After all, Chu Feng currently has no emotional ties with Li Wanning. Even if she were to join forces with Lu Yu, it wouldn't affect Chu Feng in any way.
Upon seeing Lu Yu deep in thought, Yan Yun was on the verge of tears.
"You…you really like Teacher Li, don't you?"
She asked. Lu Yu, snapping back to reality, responded with a question of his own,
"What's the matter?
Isn't it normal to be attracted to someone as beautiful as Miss Li?"
Yan Yun, in a state of panic, quickly retorted, "It's not normal! Others might be allowed to like her, but you can't…" "Why not?"
Lu Yu asked.
"What…what do you think I am?"
At this point, Yan Yun was teary-eyed and feeling quite upset.
It took Yan Yun an entire day to come to terms with the transgression Lu Yu had committed against her. Now, she finds herself developing feelings for him.
However, she is taken aback by the fact that Lu Yu has managed to empathize with her in just a day.
How is she supposed to accept this?
Seeing Yan Yun's distress, Lu Yu, with a playful smile, asked, "So, what do you think of me?"
Yan Yun, tears still streaming down her face, was taken aback by his question.
What does she consider him to be?
Although they have known each other for a long time, their real acquaintance began only yesterday morning, at the onset of the apocalypse.
She doesn't seem to have the right to interfere in his affairs, does she?
But before they could delve deeper into this topic, Lu Yu decided to change the subject, saying,
"Let's not discuss this for now, you take this first…"
After a morning's effort, Lu Yu had accumulated four non-attribute crystal cores and one spiritual attribute crystal core. He had no intention of prolonging the conversation about love with Yan Yun.
His primary objective was to divert her attention and have her consume a crystal nucleus to observe its effects.
However, as soon as he took out the crystal core, a series of prompts appeared in the villain's eyes before he could even finish his sentence.
[ Ding
An individual who has awakened can only utilize crystal cores that are of the life-type and spiritual-type. The use of any other type of crystal core is prohibited as it can lead to energy conflicts and cancellations. There is a 90% probability that the use of such cores will result in no recovery or boosting effects. Furthermore, there is a 9.9% chance of side effects occurring, and a 0.1% chance of death.
To maintain optimal health, an awakened individual must ensure that the difference between their life force and mental force values does not exceed 30% when using a crystal nucleus for self-enhancement. Failure to adhere to this guideline can result in adverse symptoms.
If an individual's vitality is excessively high and their mental force is unable to support their robust physique, their IQ may decrease. Conversely, if their mental power is too strong and their body is incapable of handling the immense mental power, they may lose control over their brain, potentially leading to psychosis or schizophrenia. ]
This left Lu Yu somewhat dumbfounded. The fact that Yan Yun could only use life-type and spiritual-type crystal cores was not surprising. Upon discovering that one of the crystal cores was of the spiritual system, Lu Yu had speculated this.
If a spiritual core exists, then naturally there would be a life core. After Yan Yun's awakening, only these two attributes had increased. It was not surprising that only the cores of these two properties could be used.
However, the difference between the value of vitality and mental strength could not exceed 30% during strengthening.
If done this would lead to becoming an idiot or a psychopath?
He wondered if some patients in the psychiatric hospital had developed mental illnesses because their mental strength was too strong for their bodies to handle.
Was it true that lunatics were only one step away from geniuses?
"What's wrong with you?"
Yan Yun asked, noticing Lu Yu's silence and becoming genuinely distracted. She quickly voiced her concern.
"It's nothing, I wanted to give you a crystal nucleus to restore your stamina!" Lu Yu casually replied,
"But it seems you can't use this one!"
Following the prompts he had just received from the villain's eye, Yan Yun's vitality was at 16 points, and her mental strength was at 19 points. Consuming non-attribute nuclei had a high probability of being ineffective.
The content of a spiritual core ranged from 3-5 points. If Yan Yun was given a spiritual core, even if it only increased by 3 points, Yan Yun's spiritual power would exceed 30% of her vitality.
In other words, she must use a life-type crystal core before she can use a spirit-type crystal core.
Upon understanding the complexities involved in using the crystal nucleus for body enhancement, Lu Yu found himself deep in thought.
The risks associated with its use were not just limited to a higher probability of death, but also included the potential for reduced intelligence and mental instability. He pondered over the sacrifices that other survivors might have had to make in terms of their health and lives to develop a scientific method of reinforcement in an era where information exchange was not possible.
Lu Yu couldn't help but smile at the thought of Chu Feng, a man who, ten years post-apocalypse, had mastered the use of the crystal nucleus. His current villain's eyes were quite impressive.
Even with digitized attributes, his perception remained sharp and intuitive.
Yan Yun, noticing the dual-colored crystal nucleus, asked, "Does this crystal nucleus come in many types?"
To which Lu Yu responded, "More or less, I'll give it to you when you need to use it in the future!" Yan Yun, not fully grasping the concept, agreed to follow Lu Yu's plan, responding with, "Oh, oh, good!"
Lu Yu stopped thinking about it, and threw a non-attribute crystal core into his mouth. After a tiring morning, it was impossible to restore physical strength by eating alone. In order to save recovery time, there was nothing wrong with eating a Crystal nucleus.
After taking it with water, the familiar warm current spreads from the stomach to the whole body again.
After Lu Yu ate a black iron core, his agility was at 37 points. All other attributes were already at 40 points. But the system popped up another prompt.
What was this situation?
Was 40 Points of Black Iron high-level the limit?
If you want to break through to bronze, either fight with high intensity or use black iron essence?
The black iron essence is only found on the black iron high-level monsters that are about to break through bronze.
That is to say, Xiao Jin, who had not evolved before, had black iron essence on his body.
Are there any monsters of this level out there?
Even if there are monsters of this level, Lu Yu probably won't be able to find them in a short time. But not bad! It seems that you can break through to bronze through high-intensity battles.
Lu Yu asked himself, taking a deep breath.
"System, the black iron core can only supplement my physical strength, and can't strengthen my body?
After upgrading to bronze, I can't use the black iron core to strengthen it?"
"To strengthen a bronze-level body requires a bronze-level crystal nucleus."
"That is to say, the black iron nuclei are of no use to me except to supplement my medium amount of physical strength?"
"Yes, host!"
Hearing the system's answer, Lu Yu wanted to vomit blood. He had worked hard to collect the crystal nucleus for a day and a half.
As a result, he ate three from the beginning to the end, and the System told him it was useless?
All right! In fact, it can't be blamed on anyone else. Because in the early days of the apocalypse, the upper limit that everyone could naturally evolve was about the same.
A small part was between beginner and intermediate.
Most were in the dark iron intermediate tier. An awakening talent like Lu Yu, which was almost comparable to the protagonist, was of course infinitely close to the black iron high-level.
After the high-level, it needed to be strengthened by the black iron crystal nucleus. Because Lu Yu got all attributes +10 from Yan Yun, it took only a few black iron nuclei to reach the bottleneck.
"Forget it, if i can't use it, i can't use it!
Xue Li, Wu Qiang!"
Lu Yu decided, not bothering to care. He couldn't use it himself, but he could use it for his subordinates.
"Master Lu!"
"Boss, what's the matter?"
Lu Yu, with a generous gesture, tossed two crystal cores from the cashier's counter, inviting each person to take one to rejuvenate their strength. Both individuals, already enhanced, were capable of utilizing these non-attribute crystal cores.
Upon hearing Lu Yu's offer, they swiftly caught the thrown crystal cores mid-air. Wu Qiang, initially taken aback, was soon overcome with joy. This was something that had been exclusively used by Lu Yu until now.
Consuming it had visibly amplified Lu Yu's strength, and given the significance attached to it, it was undoubtedly a valuable asset!
Xue Li, holding the black iron crystal core, was slightly confused. He remembered Lu Yu mentioning something about centralized training earlier.
He questioned, "Lu Shao, didn't you mention centralized training before?
Why now…". Lu Yu, in his usual straightforward manner, clarified that he didn't find much use for this type of crystal core. He assured them that he would provide them with crystal cores of this level in the future.
Wu Qiang's propensity for betrayal was admittedly high. However, a betrayal rate of 60% merely indicated that he could be easily swayed or enticed by others.
Unless the rate exceeded 90%, he wouldn't entertain thoughts of attacking Lu Yu.
At most, he might cause minor disruptions behind the scenes. Therefore, Lu Yu wasn't overly concerned about him. Moreover, Lu Yu had observed Wu Qiang's performance in the previous battle.
Even after his transformation, Wu Qiang's strength and speed were still inferior to Lu Yu's current state. His defense was perhaps the only aspect that was superior to Lu Yu. But with a silver sword that could slice through iron as if it were mud, Lu Yu had no reason to fear his defense.
"Really?
Thank you, Lu Shao."
" Thank you, boss!"
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Xue Li didn't hesitate any longer. Wu Qiang, on the other hand, was grinning from ear to ear, eagerly popping the crystal nucleus into his mouth.
As the nucleus settled in their stomachs, they could feel their physical strength returning and a warm sensation spreading throughout their bodies, leaving them in a state of bliss.
"Wow, it feels amazing to consume this stuff!"
"It's incredibly soothing."
"Boss…what about me?
I don't have one?"
Shi Lei, noticing that both Xue Li and Wu Qiang had crystal nuclei and appeared revitalized after consumption, couldn't help but feel envious. It was clear that he was the most exhausted among them.
Why did they have crystals and he didn't?
He noticed that the boss still had one in his hand.
"If you're not scared of bursting and dying, you're welcome to have it!"
Lu Yu retorted, promptly extending the one in his hand towards him.
