203: New ideas

The Underground World has a total of thirteen districts.

From the perspective of ordinary people:

The first three districts are the top areas for those in "power"; the Three Great Technologies belong to these.

Districts four to six are the "noble" districts.

Districts seven to eight are the "elite" districts.

Districts nine to ten are the "ordinary" districts.

Districts eleven to thirteen are the "slums," also known as the "Exile Districts."

"Then you'll have to work hard!" Lin Diao said with a smile to Ran Quan.

"Haha~ When are we going back?" Ran Quan asked Lin Diao.

"Hmm~ Tomorrow, I guess. There shouldn't be anything else after this. It won't be our turn to handle the subsequent matters," Lin Diao thought for a moment and said, "And we also need to start extracting technology from this robot. That's also a long process."

"Mm." Ran Quan nodded. "By the way, do you have highly concentrated nutrient agents and energy agents?"

"Yes, why? Do you need them?" Lin Diao asked curiously. Usually, for high-level individuals, nutrient agents and energy agents are like medicine, taken regularly for supplementation.

On normal days, they eat all sorts of delicacies.

However, the further back the district, the more people will gradually use lower-grade nutrient agents or energy agents. After all, these things are much cheaper than a bag of level 2 drinking water, sometimes even cheaper than level 3 drinking water.

But precisely because of this, the people in the later "Exile Districts" can survive.

Otherwise... the population would drop by at least another fifth.

"Mm~ I need a very large quantity," Ran Quan nodded and said.

"Are you... are you not going to use this when you take office as the new leader? But that's a good idea... Low-grade nutrient agents are easy to get; I can give you a hundred thousand bottles myself," Lin Diao said with a smile to Ran Quan.

"No, no, no, I need top-grade nutrient agents and energy agents. They're for my own use," Ran Quan told Lin Diao.

"Oh~ I see! It seems you're preparing to replenish your energy with Gene Serum and start intensifying your training?" Lin Diao guessed.

"Something like that!" Ran Quan nodded.

After all, people who frequently use nutrient agents and energy agents are usually "bodybuilding" fanatics.

"Top-grade nutrient agents and energy agents... I can give you eighteen bottles here, but with your contributions, you can ask Frontier Technology now; they should give you quite a lot," Lin Diao thought for a moment and said.

"Eh? Really!" Ran Quan was a little surprised.

"Of course!" Lin Diao nodded seriously and said.

"Alright then!" Ran Quan immediately took out his phone, opened the exclusive "APP," and submitted his application.

Soon, it was approved.

And the reply was: [Total of 150 bottles of top-grade nutrient agents and energy agents confirmed as reward].

Below that were the collection methods.

For example, self-pickup... or delivery to a specified location.

Ran Quan thought for a moment and chose self-pickup.

"Then I'll go pick them up. Want to have dinner together tonight?" Ran Quan said to Lin Diao.

"Okay! I'll go back to my room to rest. Call me when it's time for dinner," Lin Diao thought for a moment, then nodded and said.

"No problem!" Ran Quan replied, then went to collect these items and brought them back. After returning to his room, he immediately stored them in his system space.

Then Ran Quan took out a bottle of nutrient agent and a bottle of energy agent.

These two are not the same thing, and Ran Quan didn't know the difference. Nutrient agents are generally used for daily needs.

If combined with high-intensity exercise, it's best to use both together.

Ran Quan didn't know the specific principle, but he just listened and followed.

Subsequently, Ran Quan drank two bottles of the agents and began to cultivate.

Three hours later.

Ran Quan opened his eyes, feeling the slowly flowing qi within his body.

"Tsk tsk, three hours of cultivation consumed most of the nutrient agents and energy agents I drank. That's equivalent to one bottle of nutrient agent and one bottle of energy agent per day... Luxurious! It's truly too luxurious!" Ran Quan sighed.

Of course, the effect was definitely much better than supplementing through food. A preliminary estimate suggests at least a dozen times the boost!

"Eh? Wait~ Can I sell these to the group members?" Ran Quan thought of a way to get rich!

Ran Quan quickly opened the mall to check how much they were selling for.

level 1 nutrient agent: 1000 source points.

level 1 energy agent: 1000 source points.

Ran Quan took out his own bottle of nutrient agent and energy agent and had the system mall compare them.

Then it appeared:

level 3 nutrient agent: 3000 source points.

level 3 energy agent: 3000 source points.

Each level + 1000 source points.

The one Ran Quan held was only equivalent to level 3. Ran Quan looked at the nutrient agents all the way up to level 100... he almost cried.

Ran Quan did some calculations. If he sold 100 bottles, the mall price was 3000 source points, so he could sell them for 2500 per bottle. 100 bottles would earn him 250,000 source points.

250,000 source points... This could be a business, provided he had a "factory" that could continuously produce them!

Ran Quan secretly made a note; he could definitely do this in the future.

Currently, the Cross-World Group has a "listing" function, which is displayed under one's "avatar."

Just like the "Basic Cultivation Method 'First Edition'" sold by Yi Xin and Lin Zifeng.

However, Clarissa used her authority to split the source points from the sales evenly between Yi Xin and Lin Zifeng.

Ran Quan felt that the Cross-World Group would definitely have related functions appear!

But he currently had nothing, so he definitely needed to prepare well.

Coincidentally, he was about to head to the Twelfth District to be in charge. At that time, he could see if he could plan something... at least starting with low-grade nutrient agents and energy agents would be an option... or other aspects... Ran Quan pondered silently.

Ran Quan thought for a moment, and once he had a general idea, he glanced at the time, got up to take a shower, and then called Lin Diao to go eat.

"That quick? I thought you'd be until eight or nine o'clock," Lin Diao looked at Ran Quan, whose hair was still a bit wet and who had changed clothes, clearly having showered.

It was only six o'clock now. Ran Quan's Gene Serum "absorption" was a bit fast!

However, Lin Diao didn't think much of it, as this was inherently dependent on the individual. The fastest she knew was an hour, and the slowest was two days.

And she didn't want to dwell on the Gene Serum itself.

"Let's go, grab some food, and get a good rest tonight. We're going back tomorrow," Ran Quan told Lin Diao. The two walked together towards the cafeteria.

"Oh, right, I'll be accompanying you to the Twelfth District to handle some matters for you and help you take your position... Frontier Technology asked me to go, and since we're together anyway, I accepted," Lin Diao told Ran Quan. "Also, during the time you were taking the Gene Serum, the research department informed me that they had another new discovery... And the military is preparing to assign you a level 3 Scavenger Squad and three Blade Squads to take to the Twelfth District. They'll be your own troops. From now on, you'll be the officer of these four squads, a total of twenty people! Oh, and for the troops, there are also four hover transport vehicles and drivers, making you the officer of a total of twenty-four people."

"Oh?!" Ran Quan's eyebrows shot up when he heard Lin Diao's words. Good heavens! They were even assigning him four squads?

This robot... was its contribution that significant? Ran Quan thought for a moment, then decided to just accept it. He didn't understand technology anyway, so he'd just take what was given.

As for whether it was for surveillance or anything, he didn't care.

[Originally, the Cross-World Group had an Apostle level, which I have removed. Everyone can consider it non-existent... a small error in the setting.]
