210: Chapter 209 Everything Goes Smoothly

Returning to his dorm, Gu Han replayed Instructor Fu's trial version of the Cultivation Technique in his mind over and over again.

It truly was a good thing.

Especially the cases regarding crossbreeding divine plants mentioned in the book, which opened up a completely new line of thinking for him.

He could invest a massive sum of money to scour the black market for various feedback-type divine plants; they didn't necessarily have to be S-grade, as sometimes lower-grade ones might also be crossbred into plants that could grow stronger even in reality.

Along the way, he could also put the cultivation of Cataclysm Realm plants onto his agenda; no wonder Cataclysm Realm creatures were being sold, yet no Cataclysm Realm plants were to be seen.

This reminded him that he still had a mountain-sized batch of Crystal-armored Scorpion shells and Candle-Demon Dragon Lizard skins, which could all be taken to exchange for military merit points and get a military merit card first.

With the military merit card, he could check the military's merit treasury, which might even contain Cultivation Techniques. When the time came, he could compare the two and see which Cultivation Technique was better.

It was time to make another trip to the Cataclysm Realm, gather some plants back, and incidentally farm military merit to exchange for transcendent crystals.

His consciousness sank, pulling his vision into the Divine Kingdom.

Last night, dragging Tang Wuying to work overtime in the Divine Kingdom had yielded extremely fruitful results.

That brat Tang Wuying had his thought process clear up quite a bit after advancing to a demigod, and he truly helped out a lot.

The two of them surrounded that initial batch of Flame-Spitting Striders, which were crossbred from Flame-Holding Skull and Jet Striders, and fussed over them for a full half-year.

Mainly because the Jet Striders fired from their rear while the Flame-Holding Skulls fired from their heads, causing a front-and-back conflict. After several revisions, it was changed back to firing from the mouth, making it easier to aim.

However, the recoil brought by high-speed firing became a new problem, so turning them into autonomous firing weapon monsters was not ideal.

Afterwards, Gu Han directly added a double-headed snake gene, crossbreeding the Flame-Spitting Strider with the Dragonman Ant-man.

And this Dragonman Ant-man was precisely the crossbreed of the Dragonman and the Dragon-Lizard Ant-man.

With dual wings on its back and its body surface covered in Dragonman scales, its combat power and defense were directly raised by several tiers, and it had now completely replaced the Dragon-Lizard Ant-man.

The ultimate ranged troop—the Double-Gun Dragon Ant, was thus born.

Its physical characteristics were similar to the Dragonman Ant-man, and the most eye-catching feature was that it grew two ferocious heads, both of which could open their mouths to continuously fire flame explosive bombs.

The massive recoil was simply not worth mentioning in front of the Dragon Ant's strength; even if its hind legs plowed two deep trenches on the ground, it could still ensure shooting accuracy.

The two heads took turns locking on and shooting, endless and uninterrupted.

As long as they were provided with enough nuclear fire crystals, one head could wildly pour out firepower while the other head could spare a moment to devour nuclear fire crystals, rapidly replenishing the consumed Origin energy.

Coupled with the stacking effect of the Kuanglan rune, a single breath often turned into a double rapid-fire burst. Calling it a biological Gatling gun was no exaggeration.

Moreover, this wasn't some squishy marksman; with its mouth closed, it was still a heavy-armored tank!

If an enemy assassin painstakingly crossed the defense line to hack the back row, they would despairingly find that the opposing marksman was so tanky they couldn't be beaten down, probably collapsing on the spot.

The ranged firepower could be considered completely fulfilled.

Gu Han touched his chin.

In his original plan, he also intended to create an Elf Ant-man branch specifically dedicated to practicing magic alongside.

But after careful deduction, he abandoned this ungrateful and laborious idea.

The magic system was different from Physical Body evolution.

Magic required an extremely massive accumulation of knowledge and a deep comprehension of the elements of heaven and earth.

Even if Ant-men were born transcendental, without those complex magic incantations and knowledge in their minds, they couldn't cast Advanced magic either.

Gu Han instead chose to cultivate a large number of ancient Elven Trees.

Elemental spirits could possess them in combat, playing a huge auxiliary role on previous battlefields with an extremely low casualty rate.

Possession could perfectly solve the problem of mages being assassinated; even if the enemy killed the possessed Ant-man, they could switch to possess another comrade.

High-output entities like mages and marksmen that couldn't be assassinated would continuously inflict casualties, serving as the greatest reliance in the Divine Kingdom's wars.

Just as he was thinking this, True Monarch Yaochen rushed over.

Holding a plant in its hands, it was so excited that it became incoherent.

"Lord God! It succeeded! It succeeded!"

Gu Han looked closely.

That was an extremely plump spirit millet, its grains crystal-clear and translucent, exuding a soft luster.

The attribute-free Advanced spirit millet had actually successfully mutated.

Gu Han was somewhat surprised.

This crossbreeding research and development speed was somewhat unexpectedly fast, being a full dozen times faster than when he was making Mushroom-sac men back then.

After mass Reproduction of this thing, the daily rations of the Transcendental Believers within the Divine Kingdom could be completely replaced, and they wouldn't need to consume massive amounts of Chicken Mushroom Taisui and flesh and blood anymore.

Good news always seemed to come in bunches.

The Spiritual Qi of the Divine Kingdom suddenly underwent a violent tremor. A formidable aura soared into the sky, directly churning the clouds in mid-air.

That was from the direction of the Pill Pagoda; Chang Sheng broke through seclusion and emerged.

Middle Stage Qi Refinement, which translated to a Level 5 Immortal Cultivation transcendental.

This aura of Breakthrough was like a signal flare.

Within the ant queen nests of various tribes, energy fluctuations of Breakthrough erupted one after another, and golden light once again covered all parts of the Divine Kingdom.

The Level 5 upgrade wave, though late, had arrived.

The life hierarchy of the Ant-man Race throughout the entire Divine Kingdom was experiencing another bone-transforming leap.

Some older-generation Ant-men were also not to be outdone, relying on their own efforts to catch up with the ant queen's pace and rush into Level 5.

Gu Han overlooked this vast land, feeling a burst of comfort in his heart.

Troops were strong and horses sturdy, resources were abundant, and everything was advancing by leaps and bounds step by step.

Never had everything gone so smoothly before.

Just as he was preparing to withdraw his consciousness, pack his things into the loading card, and head over to exchange for military merit.

A covenant suddenly lit up with a burst of light.

Gu Han stopped his movements to check; that was Cui Yuan's covenant, and this should be a message from him requesting entry into the Divine Kingdom.

Gu Han narrowed his eyes, his fingers stroking the edge of the covenant, and once again, an ungrounded guess arose in his heart: could all of this be because this brat's grand fortune skill was influencing him?

Today had been unusually smooth all day long, just like those things he brought to Cui Shi?
