Chapter 99 Harvest: Taking a Gamble

basement.

As Luke heard the noise outside gradually subside, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

'it's over?'

'Is Li Ang alright?'

After hesitating for a while, the young master finally gritted his teeth and went downstairs, since hiding in the basement all the time was not a solution.

Of course, out of caution, Luke only poked his head out at first.

Then he saw the street that had been plowed back and forth countless times, and Li Ang and the other two talking.

As for insects
There are practically no insects left on the streets.

Seeing this, Luke breathed a sigh of relief and then climbed out of the basement.

He quickly ran to Li Ang's side and asked in a low voice, "What's the situation now?"

As he spoke, the young master secretly observed the situation on the street.

"The swarm shouldn't dare to come after us for the time being."

Li Ang replied casually that after what just happened, that Zerg nova should realize that simply sending ordinary Zerg wouldn't be enough to deal with him.

With that thought in mind, he glanced at the information on the panel.

[Use Reverse Life Triple in battle, skill experience +398].

【Rebirth Triple: Master】

After the battle just now, Li Ang's Reverse Life Triple Technique, which had been stagnant for a long time, finally reached the Master level of proficiency.

That is, the third level.

'Gathering and scattering are intangible. I can do that now too.'

'However, just as Master said, this is the end of the Reverse Rebirth Triple Stage.'

The ultimate goal of the Reverse Rebirth Triple Technique is to cultivate oneself back to the state of primordial Qi.

But then?

Should we continue to strengthen that primordial Qi? What's the difference between that and before?
To maintain the state of innate Qi, one must activate the Reverse Life Triple Stage, which is clearly not in line with the ideas of the Three Ones Sect elders.

In short, in the San Yi Sect's vision, the Reverse Life Triple Breakthrough should change from an active skill that requires mana to a permanent state after breaking through to the third level.

But the fact is that Li Ang can still feel the energy being constantly consumed within his body, even though the consumption is very small when he is not in combat.

Even so, there are still fundamental differences between the two.

Fortunately, Li Ang is no longer the naive newbie he once was.

As his own system becomes more and more complex, and after his previous failed ascension ceremony, he has gradually found the path for Qi cultivators.

'True or false?'

'Using the false to cultivate the true.'

'What will happen if I incorporate the Reverse Life Triad into the ritual?'

Having gained experience in changing his class to [Dragon Vein Alchemist], Li Ang now knows that the actions taken during the class change process will affect the final outcome.

What if he were to designate the Reverse Rebirth Triple as a Celestial Technique within a ritual whose elements are 'True or False'?
It's not just the Reverse Rebirth Triple Skill, but also the Qimen Dunjia and other skills that might be acquired in the future that fit the [Qi Refiner] profession?

Thinking of this, Li Ang let out a soft breath.

These things are still too far away for him, but at least he has some ideas.

He put aside his thoughts and asked Morty, who had a serious expression, "Does your censorship bureau have any contingency plans for this situation?"

Upon hearing this, Morty nodded slightly: "I communicate with the mothership every day. If they don't receive a message, they will send someone to check the situation."

"But the earliest it can be is tomorrow."

The implication is that they have to hold on for another day.

"Yeah."

Although Li Ang felt he wouldn't be unable to last even a day, who knew what would happen next.

Moreover, even though the city had already fallen, his [Traveler] talent remained completely unaffected, which made him feel that something big was about to happen.

But there's no use thinking about it now; all they can do is continue to hold on.

Since things have come to this, let's take stock of the spoils first.

As for what the spoils of war are.
That's the giant dragon, of course.

Under the eerie gaze of Morty and the other two, Li Ang began to dismember and tear apart the dragon.

First and foremost are the dragon scales.

Although most of the dragon scales were shattered beyond recognition during the battle, a few were still found that were not greatly damaged.

In the end, he obtained a total of eleven usable dragon scales.

Secondly, there's the dragon's sinews and bones.

Although it's different from the dragon scales, which are immediately useful, Li Ang might need it someday.

As for dragon meat
It wasn't very useful to Li Ang.

'If I knew the Six Treasures of the Immortal Thief, I might give it a try. But I wonder if this stuff is poisonous?'

Looking at the modified dragon corpse in front of him, Li Ang hesitated for a moment.

However, he eventually divided it up, and who knows if it will come in handy later.

Seeing that the ten-cubic-meter spatial ring Luke had given him was now filled with materials, Li Ang nodded in satisfaction.

These are the materials produced by a giant dragon. Normally, there should also be dragon blood and dragon heart, but the former has been replaced with foul-smelling liquid, and the latter has been replaced with a huge firework.

After doing all that, Li Ang returned to Luke and the other two and asked, "Do you have any extra metal on you?"

Danica and Morty shook their heads slightly in response to his question.

They weren't craftsmen, so of course they wouldn't carry large quantities of metal with them.

Luke, somewhat puzzled, handed over a ring: "There are some metals in here that I collected a long time ago. What are you planning to do with them?"

"Craft alchemical items."

Previously, he had not been able to obtain complete dragon scales, but now that he had a considerable number of dragon scales on hand, Li Ang was definitely preparing to try to refine them into true [Garos Scales].

After all, doing so would allow you to obtain new equipment and gain experience as a [Dragon Vein Alchemist].

Before entering the basement, Li Ang casually asked, "By the way, Luke, what are your sister and Governor Obi-Wan's approximate body types?"

Hearing this, Luke was a little puzzled, but he still obediently began to gesture.

Having made up his mind, Li Ang entered his alchemy workshop.

He let out a soft breath to control his emotions, then took out five dragon scales and the metal Luke had collected from the ring.

Let me see what metals you've collected first.

[Unnamed Metal: Possesses good energy absorption properties.] Li Ang now understands why Luke didn't give him this batch of metal to make gun parts before, because this property is basically useless for firearms.

However, it was just right for the [Scale of Garus] that he was about to refine.

However, before completing the process, Li Ang planned to perform some of his own unique modifications.

He planned to add a [Toughness] magic array to this batch of metal, based on the procedures he had used when creating the basic concept weapon, before refining it.

However, just to be on the safe side, Li Ang only refined the metal for crafting one piece of the [Garos Scale] for the first time.

Looking at the metal in the transmutation array that had been imbued with the [Toughness] attribute, and the dragon scales he had just obtained, he took a deep breath and then poured energy into the transmutation array.

The next moment, accompanied by a flash of red light, a close-fitting soft armor shimmering with crimson light appeared in the center of the magic circle.

[Successfully crafted an alchemical item, profession experience +752].

'Success'

Li Ang walked to the center of the magic circle, picked up the [Garos Scale - Dragon World Improved Version], and carefully examined it.

Its defensive capabilities are outstanding, making it a rare and valuable item even in the second energy level.

However, this is to be expected, since it uses a rudimentary version of the concept weapon technology, and the materials are derived from a dragon that was at least at the second energy level in its lifetime.

Furthermore, due to the metal provided by Luke, this [Garos Scale] also possesses a slight energy-absorbing property.

After verifying that his operation was indeed feasible, Li Ang repeated the previous steps.

[Successfully crafted an alchemical item, profession experience +693].
【Dragon Vein Alchemist: lv9 (541/4500)】.

After completing a total of six pieces of [Garos's Scale], Leon's [Dragon Vein Alchemist] class level was upgraded again.

'As expected of a pay-to-win class.'

However, he knew that without Luke, he would not have been able to level up so quickly.

After calming his breathing slightly, Li Ang picked up six pieces of crimson soft armor and went upstairs.

Meanwhile, on the ground, Luke was staring blankly at the sky, bored.

It wasn't that he didn't want to chat with Danica and Morty, but rather that he simply couldn't communicate with the two on the other end.

One of them had fallen asleep sometime during the night, and the other one was looking down at people through its nostrils.

Ah, I miss Li Ang's 98th minute.

Just as he was thinking this, a figure emerged from the basement.

Before Luke could react, three crimson soft armors appeared in his arms: "One of them is yours, and the other two belong to Governor Obi-Wan and his sister."

After giving Luke his instructions, Leon gave Danica and Morty each a piece of [Garos's Scale].

"Put it on, and if you like it, remember to help me spread the word."

That's right, he prepared [Garos's Scale] for everyone present.

Danica glanced at the soft armor in her hand, then at Li Ang, her expression blank: "You really learned alchemy!?"

She never expected that what the other party said when they left the company—that they wanted to be their own boss—was actually true.

Wait, how come someone's secretly made a fortune?!
Li Ang's words, "To grow bigger and stronger, and to create new glories," still faintly echoed in Danica's ears.

Morty was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected to be involved as well.

After a moment of silence, the elite officer from the Federal Bureau of Investigation spoke up: "Thank you, I will recommend you to my colleagues."

Upon hearing this, Li Ang couldn't help but grin.

The day the Dragon Alchemy Workshop rises is today!
In the dark, gloomy cave.

The enormous insect, chewing on the ore in its mouthparts, mumbled indistinctly, "Capture failed."

"Strange alchemy."

"I want to know."

Crunchy——

"Damn the Federal Bureau of Investigation, why did they have to come at this crucial moment?"

"I only need three more special genes to fulfill the requirements."

Crunchy——

"The Queen Mother is on her way."

More swarms are needed.

Crunchy——

"There's no time left, we have to activate the backup plan."

"Number One, it's your turn to step up."

The chewing sounds stopped abruptly.

Then the insects, which were as big as a small mountain, began to slowly move their bodies.

The narrow tunnel was constantly falling rocks, as if it were about to collapse.

But the insect didn't care at all and just forced its way out of the tunnel.

Gradually, slivers of light appeared at the end of the tunnel, and then the view suddenly opened up.

Unfortunately, outside the tunnel, instead of blue skies and white clouds, there was only endless yellow sand.

And the enormous swarm of insects hidden beneath the yellow sand.

hiss--!
At that moment, the Swarm Overlord issued the order for a full-scale attack, and the swarm surged forward like a tidal wave.

This scene was observed by a figure above the Zerg Overlord.

His expression was cold, but a barely perceptible hint of madness flashed in his eyes.

'Third energy level.'

'Soon, soon.'

'I'll be able to reach that realm soon too.'

'By then, whether they side with the Empire or become designers of the [Immortal Evolution], they will be able to escape the Federation's pursuit.'

Even if I reach the end of my rope, I can still return to my mother's embrace.

'wrong.'

Why would I want to return to my mother's embrace?

The figure tilted his head in confusion, but before he could think it through, a jumble of thoughts overwhelmed his mind.

　I'll post two updates today to organize my thoughts for the next chapter, and four updates tomorrow.

　　The main world is nearing its end.
