287: Life Core

Clarissa knew that the current population growth of the Elf was indeed a problem.

As mentioned before, the Elf are a long-lived species, so they do not strongly pursue "creating new life."

Moreover, long-lived species are typically "difficult to reproduce," and this applies to the Elf as well as the Dragon.

The more powerful a life form, the more difficult it is to conceive new life.

It is precisely because of this that the Elf do not strongly pursue "creating new life," as it truly depends on fate (they still do it for the joy of family life), and instead lean more towards art, swordsmanship, archery, and so on.

Furthermore, in addition to "creating new life," the Elf also rely on the "newborn Elf" naturally produced by the Tree of Life each year.

Of course, if an Elf combines with a life form other than an Elf, such as a human, it would be easier to give birth to new life, but... what is born is a half-Elf, who will be much inferior to an Elf in all aspects, including talent.

Moreover, Elf rarely combine with humans, after all, the difference in lifespan alone is too great.

"Is it very difficult?" Isis looked at Clarissa's frowning expression and asked, "It's okay, I'm not in a hurry about this. After all, although the Elf's population grows slowly, steady development is also quite good."

"No, I'm thinking about how to solve it..." Clarissa thought for a moment and said. She was currently browsing her system mall to see if there was anything to resolve this matter.

"It's fine, I just mentioned it casually. If the Elf really solved the fertility problem and their population exploded, it would actually give me a headache. After all, the Elf are not humans. In this regard, the Elf don't need to be on par with humans." Isis smiled and shook her head, saying, "Actually, if you, Clarissa, have something that can improve the talent of new life, that would be even better. The Elf value quality over quantity."

"Hmm~ I'll think about it." Clarissa nodded. She did see many things in the system that could increase the output of "new life" for the Elf.

However... they were either for individuals, requiring one use per individual, or the group ones were not very good, sacrificing certain talents, or only new births would have this improvement...

In short, each had its flaws.

And the cost was too high, making it difficult to sustain. Don't look at Clarissa having billions of source points in her hand; if she really wanted to solve the Elf's problem, those source points would not be enough, because theoretically, it would be changing the fundamental nature of an entire species.

However, if Isis's request was to improve the talent of new life...

Clarissa saw one: Life Core. 1 billion source points.

It perfectly met the requirements "proposed" by Clarissa. It could be integrated into the Tree of Life, increasing the strength and quantity of the Tree of Life's "life energy."

When producing new Elf, it would naturally also enhance their talent.

Clarissa told Isis about this.

"Life Core?! Is it the Life Core I'm thinking of?!" Isis heard Clarissa's words and immediately looked at Clarissa with pleasant surprise.

"Hmm... I guess so." Clarissa nodded, "How about I give you this as compensation?"

"No problem! I didn't expect you to have a Life Core, that's great!" Isis nodded excitedly, "With the Life Core, the Tree of Life will be stronger and better! I will also be affected, and the Life Nectar produced in the future will also be more abundant. It's a win-win-win for everyone!"

"That's good!" Clarissa smiled and nodded. Killing three birds with one stone, it was simply like Qin Shi Huang getting electrocuted - winning big.

Clarissa didn't waste any time and directly redeemed the Life Core, deducting 1 billion source points, leaving her with 3.2 billion+ source points.

Clarissa took out the Life Core and handed it to Isis.

When Clarissa took out the Life Core, Isis's gaze was fixed on it.

"Life Core~" Isis happily took it, looking at the Life Core in her hand, her eyes glowing green.

The Life Core contained the law of life, even if only a tiny bit, but it was extremely precious.

"Thank you, Clarissa!" Isis cheered, then happily integrated the Life Core into the Tree of Life. Then, both the Tree of Life and Isis emitted a faint green light.

"I need to go into hibernation for a few days... During this time, if you have any needs, you can tell Tasina (Elf Queen)." Isis said to Clarissa.

"Okay! Do as you please." Clarissa nodded, then watched as Isis integrated into the Tree of Life and fell into a deep slumber.

Clarissa then left the Elf and returned to the Grosster Empire.

During Isis's hibernation, due to the "enhancement" of the Tree of Life, all the Elf throughout the Elf felt the changes in the Tree of Life, which also led to the improvement of their own "talent" and "physique."

This caused the Elf to turn towards the Tree of Life and begin to pray.

.........

Everyone was busy with their own affairs.

Well, for Tang Ziheng, no matter what he was doing, he was diligently earning source points for himself.

Tang Ziheng's mood was quite pleasant as he watched his source points continuously increase.

As soon as he thought of the system upgrade requirement of 100 billion source points, Tang Ziheng immediately felt a bit of a headache.

He glanced at his current source points, which had already increased by several hundred million.

The growth was quite fast.

However, at this growth rate, it would still take a very long time to accumulate 100 billion source points.

Therefore, the best way was still to have world missions... but that was something he couldn't force and had to wait for, so he still needed to expand his "fundamental productivity," which meant the "source point output" from the various worlds of his group members.

In addition, with the current system version upgrade, the speed of source point acquisition was also continuously increasing.

For Tang Ziheng, source points would only be earned more and faster.

"Currently, the Cross-World Group is also flourishing... Clarissa's strength is quite good now, it's just that the other members are a bit lacking... but they can all mature over time. Everyone is currently in a steady growth period... Yi Xin and Lin Zifeng have very high talents, and their growth speed should be second only to Clarissa's." Tang Ziheng pondered the situation of his current "workers."

Alas, he still needed to continue developing them well. As for new members, he was not in a hurry to acquire them yet.

However, members self-searched by the Cross-World Group were not within Tang Ziheng's consideration.

Currently, his "workers," meaning the members with systems, were the only ones considered "workers" by Tang Ziheng.

For Tang Ziheng, "quality" outweighed "quantity" when it came to his workers.

An excellent worker brings N times more source points than other workers; Clarissa is a typical example.

To this day, Clarissa is still the biggest earner, even one person can equal the total output of all other workers combined.

Therefore, with such a clear example, Tang Ziheng focused more on quality.

Even when he started searching, he might still be very selective, carefully considering the world and circumstances of a "prospective" worker to see if they were suitable for long-term development.

If not, he would rather waste a search opportunity.

However, this search itself was a continuous "gold rush," so it was normal.
