202: Rewards of cutting-edge technology

So, Lin Ze began to teach Lin Zhi the first version of the Basic Cultivation Method.

Lin Zhi's talent was not bad; she quickly grasped the basics.

"How amazing!" Lin Zhi cultivated for a bit, looking at the dozens of broken white crystals in her hand, feeling the changes in her body, and a special energy gathering within her.

She felt it was truly amazing! Wasn't this cultivation?

Could it be that Lin Ze had started cultivating immortals?

And how did Lin Ze suddenly know how to cultivate? Or had he always known... Is this why Lin Ze became so strong? Will he only truly trust me and teach me cultivation after half a year?

However... Lin Zhi thought about Lin Ze's reaction just now; it shouldn't be a cultivation method he knew for a long time. It should be something he just obtained.

After all, Lin Zhi hadn't seen Lin Ze cultivate for half a year, and the white crystals from before had always been left unused.

"Alright, now, for cultivation, we'll even have to deal with the weakling monsters we usually ignore," Lin Ze stood up and said with a smile.

"Mhm!" Lin Zhi also nodded. This was cultivation! A dual path of cultivation plus evolution crystals.

She believed the speed of becoming stronger would increase significantly!

"Then, shall we start right away?" Lin Ze looked at Lin Zhi.

"No problem!" Lin Zhi saw Lin Ze's excitement and responded with a bright smile.

Lin Ze put everything away, then followed Lin Zhi to start working.

Whenever they encountered a monster, no matter how weak, they would directly eliminate it and then check if there were any crystals.

They were now accepting all comers!

...

Just as Lin Ze started working.

Over on Miya-pasu's side, she also tried cultivating the technique.

Miya-pasu's world was much better; the spiritual energy was abundant, and her cultivation speed was extremely fast. Her own talent seemed excellent.

She grasped the basics in no time and officially began cultivating!

"Phew~ Getting stronger just by sitting... This feeling is great..." Miya-pasu felt the subtle changes in her body, and she felt it was absolutely wonderful!

Miya-pasu took a look; it seemed like there wasn't much to do today. Good! She would devote all of it to cultivation!

No sooner said than done, Miya-pasu continued to cultivate.

...

On the other side, Ran Quan lay on the bed. After eating with Lin Diao, he followed Lin Diao to her living quarters. Of course, they weren't living together. Ran Quan and Lin Diao were in the same building, living in apartments across from each other.

Ran Quan began to try cultivating.

After a while, he was somewhat disappointed because he found that there was no spiritual energy in his world.

This meant that he needed to use blood energy to cultivate.

However, Ran Quan was only slightly down; it wasn't a major problem, just that the efficiency was a bit slower.

And with the system as a backup, he certainly wouldn't have to worry about replenishing energy.

Moreover, he was now a great contributor to Frontier Technology, and the rewards for this robot had also come down from above.

Frontier Technology gave him choices:

The first reward was:

To be in charge of the 10th District or the Twelfth District, meaning to be a District Head.

To join the level 3 Scavenger Unit, and upon entry, he could become a Vice Captain. Promotion to Captain would still require a certain assessment, which was unavoidable.

These two were rewards of identity and status.

The second reward was: 1 billion in cash.

The third reward was: The 3rd District gave Ran Quan an apartment.

The fourth reward was: Gene Serum A.

Of the four rewards, the money had already arrived, and all the procedures for the house were complete.

And Ran Quan had also received the Gene Serum A.

"This Gene Serum A is one of the reasons why the Scavenger Unit is so powerful. Their physical qualities are superhuman. Currently, Frontier Technology has only researched up to C, which is the third type. Each type is related and needs to be used in order." Lin Diao explained to Ran Quan: "Of course, the production of Gene Serum is extremely low, and there are also certain dangers. Some people are naturally 'allergic' to Gene Serum, meaning they reject it. Once consumed, their genes will collapse.

Of course, with current technology, the probability of encountering such a situation is still extremely low."

"Mm~" Ran Quan nodded. He looked at the Gene Serum in his hand and did not plan to use it.

After all, it was full of uncertainties, and he didn't think the effect would be that great. With his current strength, this Gene Serum probably wouldn't have much effect on him.

It was better to steadily and honestly become stronger through the system.

Ran Quan put the Gene Serum into his pants pocket (system space).

"There are no usage restrictions on this, right?" Ran Quan asked.

"No, just find a safe place, use it, and you'll be fine after a night's sleep," Lin Diao said with a shrug.

"No problem! I'll use it when I get back tonight," Ran Quan said with a smile.

"Mm." Lin Diao nodded.

Ran Quan said that, but he didn't intend to use it. Moreover, with the Gene Serum as a "pretext," it wouldn't be surprising if he displayed strong physical qualities.

As for the choice of status, Ran Quan decided to become the Head of the Twelfth District.

This was the result of his comprehensive consideration.

One reason was that the Twelfth District was far away, out of sight of the emperor, allowing him more freedom to act. And it was adjacent to Lin Diao's Eleventh District, so they could look out for each other.

Secondly, he could have the Scavenger Unit, but he couldn't join it. He had too many secrets, and his own strength was not yet enough to disregard everything.

And even if Frontier Technology wasn't covetous, who's to say the other two major technologies wouldn't be!

If he joined the Scavenger Unit, he would have to learn all sorts of specialized techniques from scratch, and in combat, whether to use his Mantis Blades or not...

If he used them, with their completely different technology, it would lead to a pile of trouble, and he might even end up on an experimental table.

Even the other two major technologies might play dirty... At that point, he'd have nowhere to cry.

It was better to be safe.

Develop steadily, be honest, and just survive.

When he gradually grew stronger, at the very least, he must have source points in hand. If he encountered danger, he could still call on group members for rescue and to save his life!

Most importantly, in terms of source points gain, being the Head of the Twelfth District would yield much faster and greater returns than joining the Scavenger Unit.

"From now on, we'll be 'neighbors'!" Lin Diao said to Ran Quan with a smile. She was happy with Ran Quan choosing to be the Head of either the 10th District or the Twelfth District. After all, Ran Quan was considered "one of their own"; in terms of factions, he was on her side.

"Mm! I'll do my best to develop the Twelfth District!" Ran Quan said with a smile.

"Hahaha~ But why would you choose the Twelfth District instead of the better 10th District? The Twelfth District is very chaotic! And resources are pitifully scarce... You can't even get much 'grease money' there." Lin Diao asked Ran Quan curiously.

"Ah hahaha! A little chaos is good! With a little chaos, I, this 'reckless man,' won't have to worry too much when dealing with things," Ran Quan said with a smile.

The further back the district, the less effective "laws" became.

Because it was too chaotic, and far away, and no one managed it.

Coupled with the fact that many "nobles" disdained to associate with them, generally, the areas after the 10th District were considered "exile" zones by those in power in the first three districts.

Not to mention the Twelfth District, which was second to last.
