Chapter 46 Chen Yuan: Intermediate War God!
"Junior Brother Chen Yuan has done me a huge favor... How about this, I'll treat you tonight and take you to the main city to relax?" Yu Qinglan suggested, then immediately added, "Of course, I'm talking about proper entertainment."
"Thank you for the invitation, Senior Sister Yu, but the timing isn't right." Chen Yuan smiled and shook his head. "I'm about to ask for leave for a long trip, so I'm afraid I won't be able to keep the appointment."
"Really? That's quite unfortunate." Yu Qinglan secretly observed Chen Yuan's expression, blinked, and wisely refrained from asking further questions.
Chen Yuan then bid farewell to Yu Qinglan and returned to his attic to pack his belongings, while also dialing the number in the contract.
"...That's right, my combat power amplification has reached '25,' which meets the requirements of Article 3 of the treaty." Chen Yuan said on the phone while packing the necessary items into his backpack.
An unusually long silence fell on the other end of the phone, seemingly filled with shock and panic, because Chen Yuan keenly heard words like "Have you confirmed it?" and "Check carefully" coming from the other end.
Finally, the martial arts school staff seemed to have finished verifying his current performance, and their tone even lifted slightly in their reply: "Upon verification, your combat power amplitude has reached '25,' fulfilling the third condition of the contract. Congratulations, student Chen Yuan!"
"The contract reward will be delivered to the training camp within one hour," the voice on the phone continued. "Please inform us of the required type of plant spirit and the parameters of the Force weapon."
"The spirit of plants needs to be a species that can enhance my strength, at least enough to allow me to break through to the intermediate War God level. As for the shape of the Force weapon, it should be similar to the 'Flowing Light Type 1' battle sword, and its Force attribute should be compatible with the Wind Intent." Chen Yuan paused here, and then added, "By the way, if possible, don't choose 'Millennium Willow Heart' as the spirit of plants."
The voice on the phone immediately replied, "Okay, it's been recorded. Regarding the species of the plant spirit, the requirements are to enhance strength and exclude willow heartwood. The one that meets the requirements is 'Millennium Iron Birch Marrow,' the wood marrow produced by the Millennium Iron Birch Tree, a plant spirit, which has the ability to enhance strength and physical strength."
"In addition, the Force weapons need to be custom-made on other planets and are expected to take two to three months to arrive. The specific time will be notified separately."
"Understood," Chen Yuan replied, and then the other end of the phone hung up.
An hour later, Chen Yuan went out for a while, then returned to the attic with the briefcase and went into the basement.
Opening the safe, there wasn't much inside this time, just two wooden boxes.
Chen Yuan opened the slightly larger wooden box, inside which was a silver arm guard. Chen Yuan picked up the instruction manual next to the arm guard, looked at it, and then understood that this silver arm guard was the 'auxiliary computer' that the martial arts school had rewarded him with.
"With this auxiliary computer, I can log into the real virtual universe?" Chen Yuan picked up the auxiliary computer and looked at it curiously, then put it back and opened another box. "I'll look at the virtual universe later. It's more important to consume the Herbal Spirit to improve my strength first."
The second wooden box was lined with shock-absorbing foam, and a milky white crystal was embedded in the center.
"This is the spirit of plants, 'Millennial Iron Birch Marrow'? I don't know if it appeared in the original work, I don't remember it." Chen Yuan took out the white crystal and found the instruction manual in the box.
"Is the method of consumption the same as that of Willow Heart because they both belong to the heartwood of trees?" After reading the instructions, Chen Yuan picked up the SS-grade Flowing Light Sword next to him and slashed at the white crystal.
With a "bang," the white crystal shattered, and Chen Yuan quickly put it to his mouth and swallowed the milky white liquid inside.
A moment later, Chen Yuan's body reacted, indicating that the medicinal effects of the Iron Birch Marrow were beginning to take effect.
Unlike dragon blood, the enhancement from the spirit of plants and trees was very gentle, and there was no pain in the body at all. On the contrary, Chen Yuan felt very comfortable.
"Perfect timing. While my body is undergoing a transformation, let's go into the virtual universe and take a look." Chen Yuan picked up the auxiliary quantum computer next to him, put it on his left arm, and then activated it.
A flash of silver-white light appeared on the auxiliary computer, along with clear Earth characters: "Auxiliary computer activated, initiating the master recognition process... Confirmed, 'Chen Yuan' has been bound as the master."
Chen Yuan smiled slightly and commanded, "Light computer, connect to the 'virtual universe'."
"Received, connecting to the virtual universe."
"Virtual universe connection in progress..." A grand and majestic voice suddenly rang in my ears.
Then, everything went black before Chen Yuan's eyes. When he looked around again, he found himself in a new world.
This is an ancient city with streets paved with large stones. Pedestrians of all kinds come and go, and they are of different races. Most of them wear simple gray clothes and have a small elf on their shoulder.
Whoosh! Chen Yuan's figure suddenly appeared on the street, attracting the attention of some people, but after a brief look, they ignored him.
Chen Yuan looked at the wide street in front of him, the pedestrians with different appearances, and his own clothes—like most people, he was wearing simple gray clothes, and he also had a fist-sized, light green sprite on his body.
"This is the virtual universe?" Chen Yuan felt that the surrounding environment was incredibly real, much more so than inside the Trial Tower.
He noticed the little sprite on his shoulder and tried to ask, "Are you my auxiliary computer?"
"Yes, Master, I am your auxiliary computer, AI number 01989." The little sprite's voice sounded directly in my mind.
"Number 01989, that's your name, too troublesome." Chen Yuan thought for a moment, "You're all green, so let's call you 'Wind Sprite'."
"Name updated. Intelligent 'Wind Sprite' is at your service, Master," the Wind Sprite replied.
"Wind Spirit, check my location and account information." Chen Yuan remembered that his third reward included a Black God Set, but because he claimed it repeatedly, the martial arts school directly converted it into cosmic currency.
This made Chen Yuan a little curious: how much is a Tier 1 Force Armor worth, and can it be converted into Silver Blue Coins or Black Dragon Coins?
Following Chen Yuan's command, a light screen quickly appeared in front of him. This was a map of the virtual universe, and his current location was on the edge of the Qianwu Continent—Black Dragon Mountain Island.
"It really is in Black Dragon Mountain." Chen Yuan nodded slightly, then shifted his gaze to the edge of the light screen, where his basic information was displayed.
Chen Yuan: Genetic Energy (Apprentice Level 7)
Remaining currency: 50000 (Black Dragon Coins)
Good news: the Force Suit sold for a high-level Black Dragon Coin. Bad news: only 5.
"5... It's not a lot, but it's not a little either." Chen Yuan clicked his tongue, but then he thought about it again. This Force Armor was just standard equipment for planetary-level warriors. Considering how common planetary-level warriors were, he suddenly felt that getting 5 was already pretty good.
After all, this is the currency of a mid-level cosmic civilization. If it were exchanged for the currency of a primary cosmic civilization, such as silver-blue coins, it would be worth at least 60 to 70 million!
The value of Silver Blue Coins is far greater than that of Earth's current currency. After all, as a primitive cosmic civilization, the Silver Blue Empire directly controls eight star systems, including the Milky Way.
Within the Milky Way alone, there are over 21 inhabited planets. If we exclude Luo Feng and his two companions, Earth is as weak as an ant compared to the sheer size of the Silver Blue Empire.
Of course, thanks to Luo Feng's existence, Earth's status has risen steadily, but it's still too early for Earth's currency to compete with the Silver Blue Coin.
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Chen Yuan turned off the light screen and then wandered around the streets. This place was really big; Chen Yuan had been walking for two hours and hadn't even walked out of one street.
He had seen quite a few things, but the treasures that truly captivated Chen Yuan were simply unaffordable for him; he could only admire them from afar.
Moreover, Chen Yuan doesn't speak the universal language, so he relies on the translation of the intelligent optical brain to communicate with people in the shops.
Chen Yuan clearly sensed that the people in the shops became noticeably contemptuous and disdainful after seeing that he couldn't speak the common language, and soon after, they chased him away.
After browsing for two hours without touching a single one of the 5 Black Dragon Coins, and even attracting a lot of disdainful looks, Chen Yuan made up his mind to find time to learn the Common Language. Then, with a thought, he exited the virtual universe.
Because his physical enhancement has ended.
Back in reality, Chen Yuan immediately opened the panel and stared intently at it.
Strength: 168550kg
Realm: Intermediate War God
Upon seeing this data, Chen Yuan's lips slowly curled into a smile.
