Infinite people, start speedrunning

Chapter 32: The Power of the Nation
Everything went black before my eyes, and then white again.

Fang Ge knew that he had returned to the main god space, grinned and said:

"Everyone, it's been a long time... Of course, it might only be a moment for you."

Seeing Fang Ge with disheveled hair and Jin Xi who was obviously a size bigger, Zheng Zha immediately started shouting.

"Oh my god, what's wrong with your hair and beard? And this..."

"I am Jinxi, the driver's servant."

Jin Xi introduced herself softly. She could tell that Zheng Zha was speechless because he didn't know how to address her.

The changes in hair and body shape are of course due to the Death Fruit. With a hundred times metabolism, one month is equivalent to eight years for an ordinary person!

Both of them are now masters of internal strength. Not to mention extending their lifespan, they still have the ability to maintain their beauty and show no signs of aging.

It was just that Fang Ge was busy with piling and had not done any grooming, which was why he looked sloppy.

Chu Xuan's assistant, Fang Hui, was also shocked when she came and almost didn't recognize them... Fortunately, no misunderstanding occurred.

Seeing that they were all startled, Fang Ge, with a bad taste in his mouth, laughed:
"Lord God, please look more handsome for me."

Produced by the Lord God, it must be a high-quality product.

Fang Ge's handsome head was freed from his long hair and beard.

"Damn, would the Lord God even take on this kind of work?" Zhang Jie clicked his tongue in amazement.

Fang Ge casually commented, "As long as you're willing to waste points, you can even use reward points to teleport throughout this square... This is the Lord God's scope of business. Isn't it amazing?"

Zhan Lan felt that Fang Ge looked more masculine and handsome after his return. She couldn't help but ask:
"Why has it changed so much? What happened to you?"

"It's a long story, so I'll cut to the chase. We stayed in the real world for a month, practicing the Nine Yang Divine Art intensely, and then we also received some assistance from the country."

Fang Ge did not explain the matter of the Death Fruit - after all, ordinary NPCs could not exchange this thing. He first threw the space bag back to its original owner.

This thing has a total of 30 cubic meters of space, and Chu Xuan exchanged it for his only C-level side story.

It was originally empty, but now it is filled with the "love for the motherland".

"In short, the country has promised to treat our families well and regard us as national heroes. While relieving us of our worries, they will also do their best to help us achieve the final victory in the main divine space."

"In addition to material assistance, the military will also recruit a group of elite special forces soldiers, hypnotize them into feeling disappointed with reality, and then have them stay in front of their computers 24 hours a day..."

"In this way, they may be drafted by the Lord God and become our teammates."

Hearing this, Zheng Zha and Zhan Lan also smiled with relief.

"National hero? I served in the army and was discharged. I took a lot of bullets and didn't get any decent achievements. But after entering this shabby place, I became a hero?" Zhang Jie said with a self-deprecating smile.

"The death rate here is higher than at the front, so it certainly deserves this kind of treatment."

Chu Xuan calmly took out a list from the space bag, which contained details of the materials, as well as the difficulties and requirements encountered in manufacturing and research.

According to the agreement, for the next horror movie, we have to find an unsuspecting newcomer to conduct the next transaction.

"By the way, your assistant helped you gather your personal belongings, and I brought them all back. I also asked her to record a video of the starry sky at Longyin Base... after all, you really like looking at the stars."

Fang Ge took Jin Xi and sat down on the sofa again,

"That girl was quite attentive. She even asked a senior at the base to confirm the exact location your father had taken you to see the stars. This videotape can be considered a reminder of that."

——This game even has such humane interactions with such insignificant NPCs. There won’t be any hidden quests, right?

Fang Ge looked at Chu Xuan with a hint of anticipation, and at the same time signaled Chu Xuan that he could start the explanation he was best at, but the new [Character Branch] did not seem to be unlocked.

"What kind of dirty deal did you two make last night? Why do you look so familiar?" Zheng Zha complained indignantly.

"Yeah, yeah... I even heard some gossip about you being sexually exploited by your male superior at the company. No wonder you became a supervisor at such a young age."

Fang Ge's casual counterattack completely broke Zheng Zha's defense. It can only be said that Gouzi literature will never go out of style.

Zheng Zha got angry when he thought about this. "This is all slander. A bunch of gossips with no ability, only know how to fight and gossip. They only know how to bark when they see me getting promoted!"

"……Thanks."

Chu Xuan didn't care about these episodes. After noting the favor and thanking Fang Ge, he continued his explanation:
"According to the list, we've obtained the [High Frequency Knife], [Monomolecule Sword], [CN171 Military Exoskeleton], [Gauss Rifle], and [Gauss Sniper Rifle]..."

He rattled off a long list of high-tech items that could be manufactured in the real world, like a menu. There were over twenty of them, some of which Fang Ge hadn't even recognized. "They've finished making most of the parts, 30% faster than I expected. It looks like they've mobilized quite a few level 8 machinists..." [Note 1]

"Next, I just need to use alchemy to complete the remaining high-tech components. After further assembly, we will be fully armed."

Having said this, he turned the page for the first time.

"Then there are items related to [magic legends]... In reality, the inheritance of [cultivation] or [martial arts] is often interrupted, and only a few documents remain."

"Most of the more complete and valuable items in [Martial Arts] are secret manuals and cultivation tips for external skills, such as [Golden Bell Cover], [Iron Shirt], and [Twelve-Way Tan Legs]... If you exchange them with the Lord God, the average price is 200-300. In total, they're only worth a little over 2,000 reward points, which is better than nothing."

——If the [Qiongzhou Team] in the original novel heard what you said, they would probably cross the timeline to come and kill you...

"For now, I only have one [Internal Skill], an unnamed internal skill passed down from the family of one of my subordinates. It also contains the insights and experiences left by his grandfather."

It sounds like Cheng Xiao's family internal skills, I didn't expect that he would also contribute it... That's right, even the most talented and most beloved grandson can be sent to the reincarnation world, what can a secret book count for?
Fang Ge also left the [Nine Yang Magic Art], [Northern Sea Magic Art], and [Sunflower Manual] in the real world. Maybe Cheng Xiao will switch to practicing other skills by then.

"I already have the Nine Yang Divine Art. I don't need this internal skill."

"From my impression, the Golden Bell Cover and Iron Shirt should be external skills that rely on [taking beatings] to temper the flesh and skin. If necessary, they would even apply poison to the skin..."

"The Nine Yang Divine Art is said to be able to cultivate the indestructible diamond. These superficial external skills are useless to me. I suggest that these martial arts... be left to Zheng Zha."

"Second." Zhan Lan voted in a formal manner.

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

Seeing that he was the most popular, Zheng Zha pointed at himself blankly: "Me? Me? Do I have to learn everything?"

"You can't bite off more than you can chew, but knowing many skills is always a good thing." Zhang Jie chuckled, as if he was saying nonsense.

"The Twelve Tan Legs are relatively the most important, as they contain both combat techniques and light body techniques."

Fang Ge suggested with a smile:
"But logically speaking, the techniques and secret manuals exchanged from the Lord God are the best versions in countless worlds. Don't even dream of reaching the power of the Lord God's version. Just having some escape skills is a blessing."

"As for the iron vest, it's nothing more than a beating. I can handle it."

As he spoke, Fang Ge exchanged for a three-inch flying knife, infused it with the [Nine Yang True Qi], and threw it out with force!

The flying knife turned into a stream of hot golden light and stabbed towards the steel wall where Zheng Zha had previously tested the power of the symbiote blade!
"Buzz!"

With a sharp bang, the flying knife passed through the wall, and there was still strength left. Later, it melted into a pool of molten iron in mid-air and exploded!
Only a small black hole left in the steel wall proved that the attack had just taken place.

Although the destructive power caused is not as great as the vertical strike of Zheng Zha's symbiote, the visual impact of this scene is far greater!

Of course, if it were internal energy gained through strengthening, it wouldn't be able to achieve such an effect. But Fang Ge was self-taught after all, so even without a high-level gene lock, he could still grasp a large part of its power.

"Hiss... Is the Nine Yang Divine Art so powerful?"

Zheng Zha gasped and immediately admitted his fear: "How about just forget it? I'm afraid you might accidentally beat me to death..."

"I learned the Nine Yang Divine Art from a secret manual. As an A-level technique, it's certainly quite impressive, far superior to your half-baked internal energy... Oh, right. Your creation should be called Loli, right? I've seen your file, and it must be your deceased childhood sweetheart."

Fang Ge smiled and motioned Zheng Zha to come closer to his ear, and Zheng Zha did so doubtfully.

Then, Zheng Zha heard the whisper from the devil:
"If you don't want Ms. Loli to know that you've fallen into depravity after her death, living a life of drinking, gambling, partying, and acting like a high school kid, I suggest you work hard to become stronger. Otherwise..."

"..." Zheng Zha only felt that his desire to survive had reached the highest point in his life.

Zhan Lan, who was not far away, suddenly showed an expression of disgust.

Ignoring Zheng Zha's expression, Fang Ge acted more and more like a leader and told Chu Xuan to move on to the next topic.

"Next is the [Cultivation] part. I never thought I could find something like this in reality..."

Chu Xuan paused, whetting everyone's appetite.

"It's a recipe for... [Foundation Building Pill]!"

"what?"

Note: In fact, there is no such classification as level 8 fitter. This sentence is just for the convenience of understanding the high-end technology.
