My brother is so cunning

Chapter 1013 Big Rewards Giveaway

Upon opening the rewards page, one is immediately struck by the four reward categories, three of which are of the same type: system-generated lottery options that unlock as task progress is increased.
The last one was completely different; it was a reward item that Wen Rui had never received before. The entire item was very concise, consisting of only eight characters: "Final reward for completing the mission."

Wen Rui licked his lips. Although he really wanted to click on the final reward option first, he chose to restrain himself and decided to start opening blind boxes with the mission progress rewards first, and check the final reward last.

The final reward for completing the task should undoubtedly be the best. If the system still uses the usual three-choice mode, then the three technology options that appear will be far more technologically advanced than the progress reward.

Based on this judgment, Wen Rui believes that starting with a lower-tier reward is the best way to maximize profits.

Starting with the highest reward can easily overwhelm you with choices, as the three technologies in the reward box may all possess earth-shattering power to turn the tide of battle.

However, top-tier technologies also have their drawbacks. They are too advanced. If a certain technology is too advanced and Wenrui does not have the necessary knowledge or even understand it with normal thinking, it will be difficult to successfully put it into application, even if he obtains all the information about the technology.

It's like a 19th-century scientist who has just mastered electrical technology and knows how to generate, store, and transmit electricity, but suddenly has a complete set of data on controlled nuclear fusion injected into his mind as if by a sudden enlightenment. He probably could not build any controlled nuclear fusion generator even if he spent his whole life doing so.

The more advanced the technology, the more systematic it is, and it may even require hundreds or thousands of prerequisite technologies as a foundation.

If villagers were to share controlled nuclear fusion technology with you, even if it actually happened, it wouldn't be able to be applied immediately, barring any major glitches in the world.

First, select three task progress rewards to master a relatively low-level black technology. Then, based on this, choose the high-level technology from the final task reward chest. This will make the direction of the selection clearer, and you can quickly understand and apply the technology after making the selection.

Having determined the order of opening the boxes, Wen Rui used his mind to control the system panel and opened the task progress reward option, which was ranked first.

The familiar three-choice interface popped up again:

"1. Biological Form Free Transformation Chamber: By rewriting the quantum gene sequence of organisms, it can achieve free transformation from carbon-based life to silicon-based life and energy body. The retention rate of biological memory during the transformation process reaches 90%, but each transformation will consume 10% of the life source energy."

"2. Planetary Energy Shield: Deploy a 'space rigid generator' in planetary synchronous orbit to form an energy barrier that envelops the entire planet and can withstand the impact of a stellar explosion. When the shield is activated, it will consume 1% of the planet's core energy."

"3. Time Reversal Grenade: After detonation, it creates a time reversal field with a radius of 1 kilometer, causing objects within the field to return to their state 1 minute earlier. It can be used to counter enemy attacks or revive friendly forces, but it will leave behind "time ghosts" - afterimages of objects from the past, which will continuously interfere with spatial stability."

Upon seeing the three technology options, Wen Rui was greatly shocked. It was just a task progress reward, yet the level of technology available had already reached this level.

Each technology is incredibly advanced, but unfortunately, you can only choose one.

The biological morphology free transformation chamber is an advanced technology of the Shadow of the Underworld, which also incorporates advanced gene editing technology, and fully realizes the free transformation of biological existence.

If this technology is mastered, then the issue of race will cease to exist. "Born from eggs and moisture, with fur and horns" will no longer be the criteria by which the Chan Sect distinguishes between the noble and the lowly among sentient beings. Those with incomplete senses or impure foundations can be transformed into humans through the transformation chamber, and humans can be transformed into any race. This is a technology that fundamentally negates the Chan Sect's doctrines. They interpret the Way of Heaven as following the will of Heaven and humanity, dividing sentient beings into different classes based on birth and cultivation foundation.

Humans are superior to any other race. Among humans, those with outstanding cultivation aptitude, also known as those "with a destiny to immortality," are treated with special regard and are qualified to sit on equal footing with them.

If this technology were widely applied, capturing a disciple of the Chan Sect and sending him directly to be transformed into the lowest level of demon, and then transforming all demons and humans into celestial beings, how would the Chan Sect possibly survive?

Their supposedly innate divine destiny has ironically relegated them to the lowest social class. As the saying goes, one's position determines one's perspective. At that point, the disciples of the Chan Sect might immediately switch sides to the Jie Sect and no longer be proud of their origins.

However, this technology also has a major drawback: each conversion results in the loss of 10% of the memory and also depletes the life-source energy.

Life energy and the original energy of life are two different concepts. Life energy can be replenished through cultivation, taking elixirs, or absorbing the life energy of others.

The life-origin energy cannot be replenished and determines the upper limit of a creature's potential. A creature that loses 10% of its life-origin energy, even if it obtains exceptional cultivation talent and quickly advances in cultivation, will never reach the achievements of a creature whose life-origin energy has never been depleted.

This is what is known as "congenital deficiency".

The planetary energy shield is also quite powerful, with defensive capabilities that can withstand the explosion of a star, enough to withstand a full-force attack from a saint.

As for consuming one percent of the planet's core energy, it's a drop in the ocean for Wenrui, who possesses the technology to absorb energy from the cosmic microwave background radiation. It's simply a matter of creating more storage devices.

Compared to the energy consumed, the cost-effectiveness is simply explosive. Sooner or later, we will face saints. Without this technology, we may die on the spot without any chance of resistance.

The final time-reversal grenade technology even touches upon the realm of the laws of time. A one-minute time reversal can almost neutralize any attack, including a saint's full-force strike.

Although the sages were powerful, Wen Rui knew very well that they did not have the authority to manipulate the laws of time. This authority had returned to the Heavenly Dao with the fall of the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

If a sage could turn back time, the Tongtian Sect Leader would not have made the grave mistake that led to the destruction of the Jie Sect. He could even have manipulated time to go back to before the war after the defeat and fought another battle.

Back when the game "Three Realms Domination" was popular in Heaven, the Tongtian Sect Leader loved playing the Investiture of the Gods scenario and map. After countless restarts, he had become so skilled that it was heartbreaking. He could easily defeat the four saints and the twelve golden immortals.

Of course, this technology also has a major drawback: overuse will leave behind time artifacts and disrupt the continuity of time.
