215: After getting the rare treasure, it would be a hundred times better! Yang Dian's father and mother rejected Yang Dian again.
Two minutes later, Uncle Lei transformed into a bolt of lightning, landing beside Yang Dian with the acrid smell of burnt air from a lightning strike.
As soon as he landed, he circled Yang Dian, making "tsk tsk tsk" sounds several times before finally tossing the black wristband in his hand to him:
"You're something else, kid. You've emptied out the organization's entire inventory in one go."
"Now, even if others want to exchange for heaven and earth treasures, there's nowhere to get them."
Yang Dian reached out and caught the wristband, casually putting it on his wrist:
"Uncle Lei, you know me."
"My strength comes from consuming these heaven and earth treasures. Only with heaven and earth treasures can I rapidly improve my strength."
"Now that I've earned merits, if I don't buy some rare treasures to improve my strength, I feel like ants are crawling all over me."
Uncle Lei didn't dwell on Yang Dian emptying the heaven and earth treasures for long. He shook his head and asked curiously:
"After eating these heaven and earth treasures, to what extent can your strength be improved?"
"Can you defeat the Lizardman God at full power?"
Yang Dian was speechless:
"Uncle Lei, what are you thinking?"
"The Lizardman God is almost immortal. He can unleash such powerful strength even when fighting as a guest on Earth, let alone when he's at his full strength."
"Am I supposed to fight him with my head?"
Speaking of which, Yang Dian flicked the newly acquired wristband:
"Give me 100 times the quantity of heaven and earth treasures, and that might be closer."
Uncle Lei was also speechless:
"100 times? More than fifty thousand heaven and earth treasures?"
"It's uncertain if that many heaven and earth treasures have even appeared globally since the Qi Revival, and you want to eat them all."
"How can you dream so big?"
Yang Dian didn't argue with Uncle Lei.
Do all the heaven and earth treasures on Earth really not exceed 50,000 types?
That's not necessarily true.
It's just that too many heaven and earth treasures are hidden in remote places.
Either they haven't been discovered yet, or they were eaten by animals before humans found them, which is why heaven and earth treasures appear so rare and precious.
After chatting with Uncle Lei for a few more sentences, Uncle Lei turned and flew towards Xiamen.
Because the specific situation of the tsunami was known, the army had already set off overnight for areas like Kinmen, Xiamen, and Dongshan, preparing to evacuate the populace.
Besides delivering resources to Yang Dian this time, he was also there to patrol the coastal areas and eliminate any Mutants daring to cause trouble during this period.
"Xiamen alone has over 5 million people."
"To evacuate everyone, that's a huge project..."
In his contemplation, Yang Dian pulled out a golden peanut from his newly acquired storage wristband, which had a diameter of 100 meters and a volume exceeding 520,000 cubic meters.
He didn't bother to shell the peanut, simply tossing the whole thing into his mouth and crunching on it, "crunch crunch."
"Still as delicious as ever."
"Also, now I finally don't have to worry about not having a place to put things..."
... The next morning.
Yang Dian, who had spent the night consuming heaven and earth treasures, returned home early.
Not long after he arrived home, Yang's Father and Yang's Mother came downstairs together.
Seeing the three black boxes Yang Dian had placed on the table, they couldn't help but exchange glances:
"You bought those heaven and earth treasures again?"
Yang Dian nodded:
"Yes."
"Heaven and Earth Treasure: celestial marrow. It's a good thing the organization obtained from the moon. Eating it has a high chance of Awakening innate abilities."
"Mom, you, Dad, and Lele each get a share."
Yang Yong walked to the table, touched a box, smiled, then shook his head:
"What's the use of us Awakening talents?"
"Your mother and I are already in our late 40s, almost 50. What can we do with Awakened talents? Do you want us to go to the battlefield and fight for our lives?"
"You keep them for yourself."
"Your mother and I are going out for a walk and to practice Martial Arts."
Seeing them turn to leave, Yang Dian couldn't help but call out to them:
"I still have five hundred portions of such heaven and earth treasures."
He Mei turned around, but her face showed no happiness, instead, it was filled with worry.
But the worry only lasted for a moment before she suppressed it:
"Aren't these things very expensive? How did you get so many at once?"
"Did you go risking your life again?"
As she spoke, she walked to Yang Dian's side and raised her hand, wanting to touch Yang Dian's head.
But looking at her son, who was even taller than herself, she withdrew her hand:
"These things, you should eat them yourself. At most, give your sister one portion."
"You're out there adventuring; there will always be times when you encounter danger."
"The more your strength improves, the safer you'll be. Your father and I won't have to worry about you all day long."
"When your strength is enough to guarantee your safety, then bring us these things, and we'll definitely eat them faster than you give them to us."
After speaking, she picked up the box on the table and put it into Yang Dian's hand:
"Eat it, don't dilly-dally."
With that, she waved to Old Yang and quickly walked out of the house.
"You haven't made breakfast yet."
"Why make breakfast? Let's eat out."
"What about Lele? She still has school today."
"Let your son take her..."
Listening to their hushed voices, and watching them quickly walk out of the courtyard, Yang Dian casually placed the box on the table and spun around.
"Heh~"
"A treasure originally worth 250 million merits, and I can't even give it away?"
Muttering, Yang Dian inserted his thumb into the black box's groove and flicked it open.
"Buzz~~~"
As the black box opened, a circle of light blue ripples surged from the opening and spread in all directions.
Looking at the pearl-sized, dazzling celestial marrow in the box, which seemed to gather all the world's splendor, Yang Dian swallowed, instinctively picked it up, and put it into his mouth.
"Gulp~"
With a slight movement of his throat, the celestial marrow was swallowed into his stomach.
Then, it began to rain in the place where his Soul resided, and the energy in his energy pool began to increase at a visible rate.
Dudu, awakened from slumber, happily flew around in the energy rain, continuously making joyful "Dudu~ Dudu~" sounds.
At the same time, a piece of information inexplicably appeared in Yang Dian's mind.
"After completely digesting the celestial marrow, it can increase energy by 20,000?"
"Or I can suppress the talent from extracting celestial marrow energy, allowing the celestial marrow energy to nourish the body, and take a gamble on a chance for a second Awakening?"
After briefly calculating what 20,000 points of energy could do, Yang Dian nodded again.
"20,000 points of energy can indeed raise a Martial Arts technique to a level comparable to district-level combat power."
"So, there's a basis for having a good chance of Awakening a decent talent after consuming celestial marrow."
With thoughts swirling in his mind, Yang Dian opened the second box and swallowed the second celestial marrow into his stomach.
"Two celestial marrows, 40,000 energy, which after discount is equivalent to 7,500 merit points per energy point."
"The cost-effectiveness isn't as high as earth core milk, but it's not bad either."
"It feels alright."
"Also, why does this celestial marrow somewhat resemble those colorful light orbs circling the core, except when I saw those colorful light orbs, I didn't have a strong urge to devour them..."
