55: Chapter 55 The Art of One Thought Creates Ten Thousand Lives

Lu Chen picked up the phone.

He spoke in a casual tone.

"Hello, Supervisor Cai, is there something else?"

Cai Jiguang said irritably.

"You rascal! Now that you know your own worth, do you not even care about me anymore?"

Lu Chen laughed.

"How could I, Supervisor Cai? Why are we even talking about this? I'm just a bit tired."

Cai Jiguang snorted, reluctantly accepting the excuse, and then asked.

"By the way, what did you just buy that cost over 200 billion merit points? Kid, did you buy something you shouldn't have, hehe..."

His tone was mischievous.

Lu Chen said in surprise.

"Supervisor, you know? I thought these purchases were confidential."

Cai Jiguang said with a smile.

"The purchases are confidential, of course, but since I'm your deliveryman, I can naturally see the price."

Lu Chen was surprised again.

"You're going to deliver them personally?"

Cai Jiguang said.

"Of course. Just look at the astronomical value of these goods. Who else in Base City D-6 could be responsible besides me?"

Lu Chen suddenly understood.

"Oh, I see. Then Supervisor, when are you coming? Bring me some food when you come over. My parents aren't home, and I haven't even eaten dinner yet."

On the other side.

Cai Jiguang's mouth twitched violently.

He said in an annoyed tone.

"You really do take me for a delivery guy... Fine, what do you want to eat? Burgers, fried chicken, noodles, barbecue..."

Now it was Lu Chen's turn for his mouth to twitch.

Before he could finish.

He hurriedly picked two items.

A-1 Base City

Alliance Headquarters.

Xiao Wanlong sat at his desk.

He was drinking coffee while flipping through the documents in his hand.

Suddenly, there was a soft knock at the door.

"Come in."

He said without looking up.

His eyes remained fixed on the documents.

The door opened softly.

A middle-aged man in a formal suit walked in.

Judging by the aura he emitted.

He was at least a C-Rank Warrior even stronger than Cai Jiguang.

"Sir, Lu Chen just purchased 210 billion merit points' worth of goods..."

The man in the suit reported respectfully.

It wasn't until he mentioned Lu Chen's name.

That Xiao Wanlong finally looked up.

Nowadays.

Only the name Lu Chen could pique his interest.

The Chairman has been in seclusion.

No one knew when he would emerge.

All the affairs of the Human Alliance were handled by Xiao Wanlong.

Therefore.

He was the de facto leader of the human world.

"Oh? What did he buy? Some kind of high-level weapon, or a powerful Combat Technique?"

Xiao Wanlong asked.

A hint of curiosity was in his voice.

"I heard he likes swords, so he probably bought a Sword Technique. Was it the Sky-Rending Sword or the Divine Spirit Sword?"

The man waited respectfully for Xiao Wanlong to finish.

Before slowly answering.

"Neither, sir. He didn't buy those."

"Neither?"

Xiao Wanlong raised an eyebrow.

"Then what on earth did he spend so many merit points on?"

"Sir, he bought three elemental attribute skills and five universal Elemental Skills."

Xiao Wanlong was stunned upon hearing this.

"Why would that little fellow want to buy Elemental Skills now?"

"Isn't he an F-Class Warrior?"

"Could it be that he's being greedy and grabbing everything just because it's free?"

"He didn't seem like such an impatient person."

"Who would waste such a good opportunity on useless things."

"Or was it advance consumption?"

"He should know."

"There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world."

"Or..."

"Could it be that he has already—"

"No, no, no."

"Impossible."

"I just saw him yesterday."

"—He was still an F-Class Warrior."

"He had only just awakened six or seven days ago."

"Perhaps it was a whim."

"He was too curious."

"After all."

"Elemental Skills are out of reach for young people."

"Yet they are full of magical allure."

"Maybe he just wanted to take a look first."

"Yes."

"It must be so."

Xiao Wanlong nodded to himself.

As if he had convinced himself.

Then he looked up at the man.

And said.

"You may go. If he buys anything else later, tell me immediately... Don't draw attention."

The man bowed and left.

Xiao Wanlong's gaze returned to the documents in his hand.

His expression slowly calmed down.

Lu Chen's House

Four hours later.

Cai Jiguang sat on the sofa.

Looking at the excited young man in front of him.

He really wanted to know what Lu Chen had bought.

Worth 210 billion merit points.

But Lu Chen didn't open the package.

Instead, he first tore open the food bag Cai Jiguang had brought.

Two large lamb legs, three portions of fried rice, and a large bag of chicken drumsticks.

Lu Chen dug in and began devouring the food.

Watching this, Cai Jiguang's mouth twitched.

It was as if he didn't exist at all.

"Hey, kid, aren't you going to pour your guest a glass of water?"

Lu Chen said, his mouth covered in grease.

"What guest? Aren't you a delivery guy?"

Cai Jiguang's mouth twitched even more violently.

But what could he say?

He really was delivering packages.

He immediately cleared his throat.

And changed the subject.

"Setting everything else aside, what exactly did you buy this time?"

"Elemental Skills."

Lu Chen said without looking up.

Cai Jiguang's face changed upon hearing this.

"With such a great opportunity, you bought things you won't even be able to use in the near future?"

"You should know that the Alliance platform won't be open to you for free forever."

Lu Chen said with a strange expression.

"How do you know I won't be able to use them soon?"

Hearing this,

Cai Jiguang was suddenly speechless.

He didn't speak again.

This was a monster who had broken through to the tenth layer of F-rank within just five days of Awakening.

Who knew what kind of world-shaking things he would do next?

The thoughts of a Genius were indeed beyond the understanding of a Mortal like him.

After chatting for a while.

Cai Jiguang left.

Lu Chen also returned to his room.

At this moment, he was trembling with excitement.

He opened the panel.

His eyes were full of anticipation.

Max Level has never let him down.

—He held high hopes this time as well.

He didn't sit on the bed.

But sat directly on the floor.

Cultivating Elemental Skills might produce some strange elemental phenomena.

He didn't want his bed to be burned.

—That thing cost a lot of money.

He was a real penny-pincher.

He took out the scrolls from the package.

—Three elemental attribute skills and five universal Elemental Skills.

First was the light-attribute Elemental Skill, Luster Technique.

A supportive light-attribute healing Spell.

[Ding! Basic light-attribute Elemental Skill Luster Technique detected. Activate Max Level Comprehension function?]

"Yes!"

[Ding! Max Level Comprehension triggered. Luster Technique upgraded to One Thought, Ten Thousand Lives Technique. Receive?]

...

There were no "Primal" or "Origin" tags this time.

Lu Chen blinked.

He was a bit disappointed.

Then he checked the function of the new Spell.

One Thought, Ten Thousand Lives Technique.

Even if only a single drop of blood remains, one can be restored within 24 hours.

The energy required depends on the severity of the injury.

When cultivated to the highest level.

Any injury can be healed with a single thought.

Lu Chen was stunned.

What?

He read it again.

That's right.

He hadn't misread it.

Even if only a single drop of blood remains.

He can still restore a person within 24 hours.

This wasn't just healing—it was clearly direct resurrection.

Of course.

The energy consumption of this Spell was also enormous.

But the diameter of his Spiritual Veins was much larger than others.

This should help.

Right?

But deep down.

Lu Chen knew.

That if he wanted to resurrect someone with the One Thought, Ten Thousand Lives Technique.

He probably wouldn't be able to do it for a long time.

Even if he broke through to B-rank.

But in any case.

This was a Divine-Grade Spell.

He just didn't know when he would be able to afford to use it.

Next was the lightning attribute.

Lightning Field Technique.
