Free Web NovelChapter 622: Chapter 622: Will We Go Back for a Visit?
It turns out, not only did Xu Yi’s cooking look good, it also tasted delicious.
So, Lu Ke felt a little overwhelmed.
Because it was so tasty, Lu Ke ended up eating a bit too much.
After the meal, Xu Yi took out the deck chairs. The two of them laid down leisurely.
Xu Yi used his spiritual power to clean the dishes, without needing to lift a finger.
The more you use spiritual power or telekinesis for intricate operations, the more it helps to enhance your spiritual power and telekinesis.
Lu Ke could do it too, and she often did.
Today, Xu Yi wanted Lu Ke to relax, so he took over her duties.
"Xu Yi, will we go back after completing the challenge?" Lu Ke turned to her side, looking at Xu Yi, her eyes filled with curiosity.
After completing the challenge, they should be able to go back, right?
Xu Yi glanced at Lu Ke and then asked, "Do you want to go back?"
Lu Ke thought for a moment, then nodded and said a little sheepishly, "Yeah, I want to go back and relax for a few days, and then go on a shopping spree, buying all the things I need. After all, we’ll still get 1 billion in prize money, right?"
"Yeah, there’s still 1 billion in prize money. They should honor that. However, whether you can enjoy shopping to your heart’s content then, is hard to say." Xu Yi thought that relaxing for a week or two after going back wouldn’t be a problem.
After completing the challenge, the Spirit Blue Star will belong to humans. And then, it will be time to fight for its protection. The weapons humans have used before, there aren’t many that are still usable.
Nuclear weapons look powerful, but the radiation is a big problem.
Using this weapon against enemies is equivalent to self-destruction.
This radiation isn’t much of an issue for the planet. After all, the probability of a planet being destroyed is very low.
Just like Earth, which has gone through several mass extinctions but is still doing fine.
What gets destroyed is only mankind, only species. The planet itself is very hard to destroy.
The Spirit Race’s martial arts system is much stronger than humans’, but it still doesn’t have much effect.
The only effective way to protect humanity is to enhance strength, allowing humans to have Divine Masters and Mages above level 20. This way, each of them would be more powerful than a nuclear weapon.
Once Xu Yi returns from relaxing on Earth Star, he should dedicate himself wholeheartedly to cultivation.
The Spirit God has nurtured 499 people for him, including 108 Divine Masters.
Helping them to advance quickly will be Xu Yi’s responsibility.
After all, those people would be incredibly loyal, their strength gained is equivalent to Xu Yi’s strength gained.
Having absolute power means having everything.
For example, the Divine Race.
Is there anything they want that they can’t have?
Lu Ke hasn’t thought that far yet, and she hasn’t realized that humanity has already crossed from a planetary civilization to an interstellar civilization.
This means humanity might face invasions from other interstellar civilizations at any time.
If they can’t win, humans will be enslaved, the resources of the planet will be plundered. Worse, they could face genocide.
Not just Lu Ke, but it can be said that none of the current humanity have realized this yet, their way of thinking hasn’t shifted. Only after experiencing it once, will humans understand this.
Xu Yi thinks it would be hard for humans to unify at this point. Unless, there is an attack from another civilization.
Xu Yi thinks this wouldn’t be too far off.
What Lu Ke is more concerned about is why Xu Yi said they couldn’t shop freely.
So, Lu Ke rested her chin in her hand and asked: "Why, why can’t we shop freely?"
Shopping, after all, is a joyous pastime for girls.
In fact, even if they don’t buy anything, just strolling around, looking at the products and beautiful things, can put them in a particularly good mood.
Of course, it would be even better if they could actually buy something.
Xu Yi glanced at the recording ball, not knowing whether the high-ranking officials of various countries had announced the sun’s impending explosion.
After thinking for a while, Xu Yi said, "Because they should all be preparing to enter Spirit Blue Star, maybe many stores have closed down."
Xu Yi’s guess was actually quite accurate, indeed countless shops had already closed.
Because everyone knows there’s a chance to enter Spirit Blue Star.
So, having a strong physique, along with rich survival skills in the wild, are the capital required to enter Spirit Blue Star.
To live better on Spirit Blue Star, one needs to have a strong physique and rich survival knowledge and skills.
And to have these, naturally, time is needed to learn.
Therefore, many have quit their jobs, starting to train and study with family or friends. After all, they won’t be teleported when entering Spirit Blue Star, so they can choose their partners.
With this, not many people are working anymore.
The wealthy might not be interested in entering Spirit Blue Star.
But the poor want to take a chance on Spirit Blue Star.
On Earth Star, class solidification is becoming more and more serious. It’s becoming increasingly difficult for children of the poor to move up.
Because, the children of the middle class and elite can obtain more educational and other resources, things that children of the poor cannot obtain.
They not only have more resources, but they are also more hardworking, mastering more skills.
Moreover, their parents work extremely hard to keep increasing their advantages.
Children from humble backgrounds, except for those who are exceptionally talented and extraordinarily disciplined, can only follow in their parents’ footsteps in similar jobs, living in similar environments. To put it bluntly, they’re trapped at the bottom forever.
But now it’s different. Once they enter Spirit Blue Star, they can earn power and resources through their efforts. Then, they can change their fate, becoming people of higher standing.
The earlier they enter Spirit Blue Star, the more advantageous it is. Additionally, the stronger their body and survival skills are, the more advantageous it is.
So, they’ve quit their jobs, training the Eighteen Forms of Body Strengthening daily, and watching all kinds of wilderness survival videos and materials, as well as various production skills.
Like iron forging, blacksmithing, bamboo art, wood art, etc.
Now, many with such skills have made videos for everyone to learn from, and encouraged others with skills to share theirs as well.
Of course, not all of humanity has such intent.
Actually, many are maintaining their previous lifestyles.
They think living on Earth Star is nice and safe too.
Though going to Spirit Blue Star can change their own fate, their children’s fate, and their family’s fate. But, it’s very dangerous too.
The fierce beasts of Spirit Blue Star, they don’t speak of civilization, nor do they protect the weak.
In their eyes, humans are food, food that should be in their stomachs.
How many challengers have died?
Although, the success rate isn’t 40%. But that’s because they have the Star Chart, which offers one chance to give up. Without it, the mortality rate would indeed be 40%, or even higher.
Entering Spirit Blue Star now, it might not even stop at this number.
Out of 10, 4 will die. Is such a thing worth trying?
Staying while it is dangerous, but the Human Alliance has already started building planetary engines and establishing underground cities.
As long as they escape the Solar System, they’ll be safe and won’t die.
