Chapter 165 - Need Destiny Points

So far, Rean had been busy with a lot of things. Blacksmith, Training, Sect Duty, etc... But now, he knew he wouldn't be able to make any better equipment other than High-Quality Weapons. In fact, he didn't even have the amount of Spiritual Energy necessary to take a step further into Peak-Quality ones. According to his calculations, it will be impossible for him before he reaches the Core Formation Realm.

That being said, the time he needs to spend on Blacksmith is now mostly free. Rean planned to do something about their Destiny Points. After all, most of the Destiny Points earned by the twins so far was provided by him. Rean considered it part of his logistics term, so he took it very seriously.

'What can I use to change the destiny of a big area. I should be able to since back on earth, we had the technology. Although no one there would be able to stop this world's cultivators, they still went as far as leaving their planet without a shred of Spiritual Energy. Perhaps, the existence of Spiritual Energy was what delayed this half of the Universe's Technology. No, that was most likely so.'

'Here, the strong prey on the weak. Battles big and small happen everywhere. It was a good call to use my knowledge of metals to make better weapons at a much lower cost...'

'There are several things. Cement is an excellent example, but it would take too long to spread this idea. Besides, few would believe in the words of a kid. I could use it when I get older and get more influence, though...'

'Cultivators are the ones who make the biggest changes in the world. I should stick with battle-related things. Battle, Technology, Better Equipment, Missions...'

'Maybe communication?'

'No... back in the Varen Tribe, Alanda passed me and Roan two red beads that we could crush at any time. As long as we were not out of range, Alanda would feel it. No, wait! Communication should work pretty well. I don't know how to make voices pass through wires like back on earth. Still, I do know that metal conducts electricity. There is always the possibility to spread long wires and use cultivators with Lightning Affinity to transmit signals. As long as a set of rules are made, it would be easy to pass entire messages over. It would be like a morse code.'

Rean thought that the idea was viable and quite cheap. With the cultivator's power, he could use them to spread the wires at high speeds. It would make a gigantic difference if the nearby cities could instantly communicate with Dalamu Sect. They can't use Alanda's method of red bead for communication since it would be too expensive. Besides, those beads couldn't pass detailed information. Not to mention that they had a range limit.

It didn't have to be elaborated. He just needed to connect the primary buildings of each city like Uive's City Guards' Headquarters. It wouldn't reach the point where anyone could use it. However, the most important ones definitely could.

With that idea in mind, Rean immediately rushed back to the Iron and Blood District. He had to pass this idea over to elder Guliva first. After all, he wouldn't be able to convince anyone by himself. It would completely change how the missions of all cultivators, weak and strong, received their information. Of course, it could be used for many more things too.

If Dalamu was willing, Rean believes they can even build an entire web connecting all cities in their territories. How many destiny points wouldn't such a thing generate? Rean couldn't help but feel excited.

Rean quickly arrived at Elder Guvila's place and knocked on the door. Guliva was drinking some tea at that moment and didn't expect to see Rean in his home.

"Oh, Rean! Are there any problems?"

Rean shook his head.

"No, but I would like to talk with Elder."

Guliva nodded and invited him inside. Hulian puts a lot of importance on the twins, so Guliva also did the same.

"Speak, what do you need?"

Rean then made his question.

"Elder Guliva. I noticed that all the information in the sect is passed through letters. Mission requests are often delivered by birds too. Could it be that the sect doesn't have a way to communicate with the cities in its territory straight away?"Find authorized novels in , faster updates, better experience, Please click #...-and-me_17340518006576905/need-destiny-points_48814652230007006 for visiting.

Guliva was quite intrigued by that question.

"Well, it's not that there is no way of doing it. We do have Sound Transmission Talismans, for example. However, they are costly to make and have a limited range depending on their grade. Obviously, we can't use them just to transmit a few words if they are not important. Besides, when a voice transmission talisman is used, there is a need for a twin talisman to exist as well. Once it is used, it will disappear, which is even more troublesome."

Rean nodded. That was what he was thinking exactly. 

"Elder Guliva, what if I say I have an idea to make the communication with the nearby big cities almost instantaneous and ridiculously low in price? For example. It would be so low that things like message birds to report new missions or mission conclusions would disappear completely. Although common people would still need to use them, the most important buildings in each city wouldn't anymore."

Guliva was startled by such an idea.

"Kid, what are you talking about? If such a thing was possible, it would have been made a long time ago."

Rean smiled.

"If elder guliva can grant me a team of Lightning and Earth Affinity Cultivators and the help of the Blacksmith Hall, I can make this idea come true."

Rean then explained the concept of metal wires to Guliva. However, the later narrowed his eyes.

"I do know that metal can conduct Lightning. However, there is a limit to the distance it can travel. If we use this method, we would need to station disciples with Lightning Affinity every few kilometers or so, it wouldn't be worth it."

Rean couldn't help but laugh inside. He already predicted that they knew about electricity being transmitted through wires. But they obviously had never understood why the electricity dissipated. 

"Let me guess, when you built those wires, you dragged them on the ground from one point to another, right?"

Guliva shook his head.

"If we did that, others would damage it. Maybe demon beasts or some other cultivators. Because of that, we put them underground. Unfortunately, Earth is strong against Lightning Type abilities. It made it dissipate too quickly. Even I, who know nothing of these weird inventions, know this little bit. Hahaha! Still, it was good you could think of such ideas, kid. Maybe you can find a solution one day."

Rean kept smiling and nodded. Electricity is nullified by the earth; this is common knowledge back in his previous life. From the looks of it, cultivators know this little as well. Unfortunately, they didn't think about insulation. Or perhaps they didn't even know if there was a material capable of insulating the metal, preventing the electricity from touching non-conductors and dissipating.

Rean also understood why no one tried to put the wires high in the air. Simply put, what would be holding it? Trees? Dry wood is indeed a type of insulation material, but most trees are usually moisty, which turned then into excellent conductors after it rained. Obviously, that didn't work either. Probably, they got better results, but the distance traveled by the electrical current wasn't worth it. Let alone that such wires could be cut by anyone, it was an invitation for problems. Bandits definitely wouldn't let it there either. If Rean wants this plan to work, the wires must go through the underground.

"I think I have a good idea to resolve this issue."

What else could it be if not the good and old rubber?
