Absolute Gate

Chapter 27 The Multifaceted Moonlight Clan

after an hour.

With the help of Yangchunsha's magic, they moved diagonally upwards.

This woman is quite skilled in earth magic; she can dig through rock layers and compress the soil.

Of course, the excavated rock and soil were piled up later, so they are more like hollow cavities that walk in the ground.

Dig open the front and fill in the back.

As a result, her multifaceted power is about to be exhausted.

"You can't even work for an hour? How did you dig such a huge tunnel?" Wu Zhong complained.

Yang Chunsha said resentfully, "I only worked two hours a day, one hour in the morning to dig and one hour in the afternoon to transport the soil and rock. I dug five kilometers every day, and it took me seven years to complete the task."

After doing the math, Wu exclaimed in surprise, "You dug over 12,700 kilometers?"

Yang Chunsha snorted and ignored him.

Wu was truly amazed by her perseverance, digging the soil day after day for seven years.

The total railway mileage in the entire Jiangxi province is only 4,700 kilometers, and she, a single woman, dug almost three times that distance.

“I admire you so much…”

Wu Zhong asked, "How long do you need to rest to fully recover your energy?"

Yang Chunsha rubbed her small hands together and glanced at Wujinxia: "The key to the power of the multiverse is the quota, which refers to how much energy from other multiverses you can borrow each day."

"The so-called exhaustion of Yuan energy actually means that today's loan quota has been used up..."

"Unless I can repay the borrowed energy, I won't be able to use the power of the multiverse today."

Wu Zhong's lips twitched as he looked at Wu Jinxia: "Huh?"

Endless Summer nodded: "That's how it is..."

He impatiently placed his hand on Yang Chunsha's shoulder: "How much do you owe?"

Yang Chunsha whispered, "Four...four hundred..."

Endless Summer was astonished: "How much? You can borrow four hundred a day?"

“No… I can only borrow twenty a day.” Yang Chunsha waved her hand and said, “Isn’t it almost the end of the month? I always pay back after a whole month.”

Wu Zhong complained, "I know this place well, why are you offering monthly payments here?"

Wu Jinxia said calmly, "I will only help you repay twenty units of energy; you will have to repay the rest yourself."

After saying that, he removed his hand.

Yang Chunsha closed his eyes and focused his mind. Then he became energetic, his heart shone brightly again, and he turned the pages of the book and fiddled with the rocks and soil.

Wu Zhong followed behind and asked Wu Jinxia, ​​finally understanding the mechanism of the multi-dimensional power.

It turns out that this system is not simply about how much energy you cultivate, but mainly about a quota.

Assuming one possesses one hundred bits of multidimensional power within their body, they can borrow the equivalent of that number of units of special energy from their counterparts in other universes every day, whether it be internal energy, spiritual energy, ripple energy, or some kind of crystal particle.

"An alternate entity from another universe?" Wu Zhong exclaimed in surprise.

Endless Summer nodded: "What the enlightened ones sense are the beings in other universes who are most similar to themselves, usually someone who looks similar and has the same or similar name."

"After that, there will be an entangled connection between you, and you can transfer energy to each other. We call this 'host body'."

"A first-level enlightened being only has one host body, so the host body you initially sense randomly is very much a matter of luck. How powerful that host body is determines how powerful you are."

"If someone is a piece of trash, or lives in a world that is not unique, or is even weaker than oneself, then this Awakener is basically useless in the first two levels."

Wu finally understood that if another being in the multiverse, 'similar to himself,' was just an ordinary person repairing a car, what use would it be for him to sense it? He wouldn't be able to borrow anything.

Conversely, if one's counterpart in the multiverse is a martial arts prodigy, a magic master, or a sect leader, then naturally they can elevate oneself, and any power borrowed would be beneficial.

"I've used up all the borrowed energy, how am I supposed to pay it back?" This was the main point Wu Zhong didn't understand.

Endless Summer explained, "All you need to do is return the energy to our world."

"The power of multiple elements is a universal intermediate energy. You can use anything you want, as long as it is the energy within your body, such as electrical energy, solar energy, or even your own energy."

"If you're pushed to the limit, you can even give back your lifespan, vitality, mental strength, and the like."

"As the saying goes, if you borrow and return, it's easy to borrow again. If your body is drained and you are weak for a long time, you will develop a strong resistance and refuse to lend it out."

"Some enlightened beings cultivate their own host bodies in order to become stronger. Each time, they deliberately pay back many times the interest, making the host body feel like 'I have a cheat code' and like to borrow energy from others."

“If we nurture a host with good potential to grow stronger, it will be a good thing for the Awakener to have better development in another universe.”

"The enlightened being and the past life are complementary and mutually supportive."

Wu Zhong took a deep breath. This wasn't a cultivation system; it was a multi-credit card system!

He said knowingly, "So restoring the power of multiple elements is very simple, just inject energy into your own body."

“You can get a small amount of energy from charging or sunbathing. If all else fails, you can drain your energy and physical strength and refine it with the biological energy of your flesh and blood.”

"However, there is a limit to the amount that can be stored. But carrying Bitcoin can increase this limit by an additional amount."

"It's like an external energy storage device; whoever takes it owns it. Therefore, Bitcoin is a hard currency among enlightened people."

"Um, how can I increase this credit limit?"

Wu Jinxia said, "The simplest way is to borrow more and use it more. The more you borrow, the higher your credit limit will naturally be."

"Huh? This woman has worked diligently for seven years, and her credit limit is only twenty bits?" Wu Zhong exclaimed in astonishment.

Endless Summer scoffed: "Because she often defaults on payments, only paying once a month. Over seven years, she only paid 84 times."

“Such a ‘return to origin’ cycle will result in a very slow increase in Yuan Power.”

"Moreover, if I'm not mistaken, she probably won't offer interest, or the interest will be very low, which will make things even slower."

Wu Zhong looked at Yang Chunsha: "Is it really that hard to pay back twenty bits? Why does it always take a month?"

Yang Chunsha said resentfully, "One bit of multi-dimensional power is equivalent to more than 90,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity in terms of energy alone."

"How do you want me to repay you? Your idea of ​​charging the human body is completely unacceptable."

"Even if I limit the current to a dangerous level of 30mA, it would still take me ninety days to input one kilowatt-hour of electricity into myself!"

"This efficiency is not as good as accumulating fat. One kilogram of fat contains the energy equivalent to more than ten kilowatt-hours of electricity."

Wu Zhongren was dumbfounded and asked blankly, "Then how will you repay it?"

Yang Chunsha sighed, "I've searched the forums thoroughly, and they say that newbies haven't consumed any lightning-struck wood to increase their electrical resistance."

"If you are in debt to too much Yuan Power, then buying 'Kun Blood' from the platform's store is the best option."

"Kun blood contains enormous energy; just 1 gram is enough for the human body to absorb the equivalent of 100,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity."

Wu Zhong said, "Isn't that great? About one gram of Kun blood can repay one bit of multi-dimensional power."

"Does that mean you can't afford it? No, you can pay it back every month, which means you can afford it."

Yang Chunsha said quietly, "It's not expensive. Right now, a gram of Kun blood only costs 10,000 yuan."

"This price is incredibly affordable, but it's so cheap I still can't afford it..."

Wu Zhong was bewildered by this: "What do you mean, 'Even if it's cheap, I still can't afford it'? Are you crazy? Only 10,000 yuan per gram? That's cheaper than electricity!"

Yang Chunsha explained, "It's cheap because there's too much Kun blood, and only living things can absorb it. The energy inside can't be extracted by any industrial means."

"I need to buy another gram of Kun blood... Who will deliver it? There are no club stations in China. They only set up stations outside of the five major powers. It would take at least several million packages to get mercenaries to deliver it."

"The most crucial point is that the minimum price for Kun blood sold on the platform is one jin (500g), which generally cannot be further divided. This means I have to buy 500 grams of Kun blood at once, and it's a whole lump of it!"

"Kun blood is a solidified jelly-like substance, said to contain extremely strong electromagnetic interaction forces..."

"In short, with my strength, I couldn't even get a single piece of scrap off by cutting with a knife, smashing with a hammer, even chiseling with an electric drill, setting off a detonator, or running an excavator to crush it."

"I can only swallow a pound in one go... After that, it will melt in my body. Its energy is so great that if I don't quickly convert it into Yuan energy to repay the debt after swallowing it, I will definitely explode and die."

"Therefore, every time I take it, I have to accumulate a month's worth of debt before I can digest the Kun blood..."

After hearing this, Wu suddenly realized that the plight of the lower classes was the same everywhere.

I couldn't help but imagine the woman, driving an excavator, trying everything she could, but still unable to break open a piece of bloody jelly... her helpless expression.

Endless Summer retorted, "Oh? Why don't you eat Kun blood every day?"

"Guiyuan can pay back many times more interest. Even if you only use one bit, you can pay back five hundred times more. You can't possibly not know that."

"Isn't it good to digest the Kun blood in this way and cultivate a host body? Why save it up and delay your improvement speed?"

Yang Chunsha's lips twitched.

She looked at Endless Summer with an expression that seemed to say, "Why don't they eat meat porridge?"

"Brother, my dear Brother Xia... you make it sound so easy. Eating 500 grams of Kun blood every day? Am I some kind of person born into wealth?"

"That's exactly what I did when I paid off my debt for the first time. My host body was stunned. Overnight, my magic power surged, and I was mistaken for a genius, which allowed me to be promoted to the top class at the magic academy."

"But... I only increased my multi-dimensional power by 0.5 bits. How can I possibly cultivate like this on the second day?"

"We gradually cut back on spending, and eventually we could only afford to eat Kun blood once every one or two months just to make ends meet." Wu nodded, completely understanding this helplessness.

Yes, even if Kun blood were cheap, it would still be unaffordable, so Yangchunsha (a type of medicinal herb) is forced to be consumed in one go at a time. Buying it by the pound is not cheap, and eating it every day is not realistic.

In this way, we can only save up enough to eat one meal a month.

Endless Summer's questioning was completely unfounded. Yes, Kun Blood is very cheap; even Wu Zhong felt it was ridiculously cheap when he heard that a magical substance containing 100,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity only cost 10,000 yuan.

But spending five million on a single meal is too expensive.

The enlightened beings in the Endless Summer probably have a sufficient supply of wealth from the very beginning, and therefore do not feel the need for careful planning that is required by those at the bottom.

Wu Zhong felt a strong sense of empathy, but then he froze.

Suddenly realizing, "Wait a minute, you spend 60 million yuan a year just using the power of multiple dimensions?"

As Yang Chunsha dug the tunnel, he casually remarked, "More or less, any problems?"

"I...you...huh?"

Wu Zhong felt a chill run down his spine. It was all thanks to the woman's pitiful words that he had become sentimental for a moment.

In reality, even those who are in dire straits in the supernatural world will not lack food or clothing; in fact, they may even be as wealthy as ordinary people can imagine.

No wonder Xia Ge said, 'Why play with multi-dimensional power if you don't have money?' This thing really burns through money.

If Yang Chunsha, a bronze-level mercenary, were to use up all his Yuan energy every day, he would need to spend tens of millions of yuan a year to pay off his debts.

Wu Zhong swallowed hard: "As expected of 'Yuan' power, it really costs Yuanzi."

"Didn't you say you were broke? How did you earn so much money? Sixty million! This is sixty million!"

Yang Chunsha pursed her lips and said, "Just do more black iron missions. They're usually errands like delivering packages or collecting materials. You can earn hundreds of thousands for each mission, and occasionally you can do bronze missions worth millions."

"Cash is the lowest value form of currency in the calamity world."

"With the investment, it's not difficult to make 50 to 60 million a year, but because I need to dig tunnels and improve my Yuan power, I have to borrow and use more resources."

"So all the money I earn goes to paying off debts, I'm a 'spendthrift' too..."

Wu Zhongzhi scratched his head. Good heavens, a spendthrift with an annual income of 60 million...

Earning hundreds of thousands just by delivering packages? He wants to be a package deliveryman too!
Yang Chunsha said this in the same tone as if she were saying, "My monthly salary is three thousand."

He looked at Wujinxia: "Brother Xia, is this how you pay off your debts too?"

Wu Jinxia calmly replied, "I don't need to. Eating Kun blood is the most convenient. I have a whole swimming pool full of Kun blood."

"In addition, my Void Armor can absorb energy itself. Although it absorbs energy while using it, the efficiency is relatively low. But I have also consumed a lot of lightning-struck wood, and it can withstand a current of 10 mA."

“I have twelve private 1000kV ultra-high voltage power stations around the world. I can charge them whenever I have free time. I can charge them while I sleep. It only takes 0.0036 seconds to absorb one kilowatt-hour of electricity.”

Wu was speechless, while Yang Chunsha's face was filled with shock and envy.

What kind of private power plant is this? A swimming pool full of Kun blood.

This is what makes someone strong. Whether it's their ability to withstand high energy or the increased electrical resistance from lightning-struck wood as mentioned on the forum.

In short, the strong have plenty of ways to deal with things, while only the weak, like Yang Chunsha, resort to meticulous planning.

Hearing that Endless Summer absorbs one kilowatt-hour of electricity in just 0.0036 seconds means that it replenishes 11 bits of multi-elemental power every hour.

Yangchunsha was so hungry she almost cried.

Experts like these mainly rely on Bitcoin to increase their Yuan Power limit and don't activate Yuan Moments every day; they save their quota for unforeseen circumstances.

Therefore, unless there are major events, you can just charge it every day and use it occasionally.

She expended so much energy because she was constantly casting spells.

In fact, 0.001 bits are enough for a single earthen wall.

"Can withstand 10 mA of current? Do you eat lightning-struck wood like it's food? How can a gold mercenary be so rich?" Yang Chunsha was shocked and somewhat puzzled.

Based on what she knew about Endless Summer's past, the other party shouldn't be that wealthy.

Endless Summer coldly replied, "None of your business, hurry up and dig!"

Yang Chunsha shivered, adjusted his glasses, and continued casting spells to dig.

Wu Zhong was already feeling dizzy; the carbon dioxide levels were too high.

Because the cave is blocked and sealed off, the oxygen content is constantly decreasing.

Fortunately, thanks to the woman's desperate digging, everyone finally managed to enter the labyrinthine, dark tunnels before running out of oxygen.

The original route was definitely deviated from, but Yang Chunsha knew the route he had dug himself by heart.

I easily identified the location and led everyone on foot.

But not long after, a rumbling sound came from ahead, and another landslide occurred!

"Oh, not again?" Yang Chunsha was on the verge of tears; this place used to be quite safe for her.

As a result, because of a night owl causing trouble, it has become a dangerous area with leaks everywhere.

"Humph!"

Endless Summer gave chase at top speed, and in the opposite direction, because Night Wanderer had run off somewhere behind them, intending to cause trouble.

With a bang, Endless Summer burst forth with a stream of purple liquid, spraying out in a fan shape.

The two saw a ghostly figure being corrupted, instantly destroying most of its body, before disappearing into a crevice in the rocks.

Wu Jinxia did not give chase; he was worried that Wu Zhong might be lost, and retreated in frustration.

Meanwhile, Yangchunsha had repaired the landslide ahead and reopened the road.

But without a doubt, they will encounter this kind of thing countless times along the way.

“Walking like this is too slow,” said Endless Summer.

Wu Zhong took a deep breath: "It's not just a problem with the Night Wanderer. With Brother Xia around, the Night Wanderer can only cause trouble at most, he's no threat."

“But he’s been following us in secret and knows our location. If 985 makes a deal with the ghost god, that would be terrible.”

Wu Zhong's tone was worried; he had seen Captain Lu negotiate with Ji Mengshen.

Ji Meng's meaning was very clear: as long as Wu Zhong died, it didn't matter how he died or who killed him.

Now that Night Wanderer's assassination attempt has failed, and 985 is also going to arrest him, there may be some kind of deal between the two.

"Brother Xia, if the Night Watchman gives directions, 985 will know where we are."

Wu Zhong's words made sense, prompting Wu Jinxia to think about them seriously.

But Wujinxia thought for a moment and shook her head, saying, "Making a deal with ghosts and gods isn't that simple. Ji Meng wants you dead, but 985 won't. They must have guessed that you can seal the Heavenly Gate, so after learning all this, they will never kill you. Instead, they will use you to seal the Heavenly Gate. Of course, what will happen after the seal is successful is unknown."

"In short, if the ghosts and gods give you information about 985, you really can't escape. But this is not good for the ghosts and gods. It's like asking a tiger for its skin and digging your own grave."

"It would be better to let you get away and kill you when the ghosts and gods are stronger in the future."

Wu nodded in agreement. That made sense; even ghosts and gods weren't stupid.

Endless Summer added, "But we still have to hurry. This is their home turf; if we stay too long, things will definitely change."

Yang Chunsha listened intently; she was already on Endless Summer's pirate ship.

They even begged to be tied up, so now she not only can't afford to fight them internally, but she also has to find a way for everyone to escape the country together.

"Um... could you teleport and get me a car?"

Wu Jinxia nodded slightly, but instead of leaving, she called out, "Chicken gizzard, come out."

He pulled open his collar, revealing a tattoo on his back that depicted the gruesome death of a chicken gizzard.

The tattoo on his back then disappeared, turning into a ghostly chicken gizzard.

"Find the Night Wanderer and get rid of him." Endless Summer planned to eliminate the Night Wanderer first, letting that guy's consciousness roll back to 'Lushan Tianmen' to be resurrected, so as not to delay things here.

With a whoosh, the chicken gizzard burrowed into the rock wall.

But not long after, Endless Summer suddenly jolted awake and ripped open her collar, revealing the back of her neck and shoulders.

Wu Zhong looked and saw that the ghost tattoo had reappeared on his body.

"Back so soon? Is the Night Wanderer dead?"

Endless Summer muttered to herself, then summoned it again; the tattoo transformed into a ghost.

As a result, the chicken gizzard glared and rushed away into the distance, without even glancing at him.

"Where are you going? What's wrong with you?" Endless Summer asked in surprise.

Wu Zhong finally realized: Chicken gizzard still wants to go looking for trouble?

……
