Chapter 675 - Mutual Transformation

The System was excited for a while before becoming depressed, “That can’t do. Mr. Rich Boss, you humans’ ability for copy and pasting is too strong. As long as one person obtains the follow-up ability, the others will get it too. They can still open up a Magical Energy Bank and steal my business.

“You really are dumb…” Fang Ning said disdainfully, “The Nine Transformation Golden Core Technique was theorized by you, but you’ve only theorized up to the seventh transformation. You can absolutely turn it into a personalized version after the seventh transformation, that only oneself can cultivate, and others cannot… You don’t have to worry. The people need the theorization, but how many people would be able to reach the seventh transformation? This is just a carrot hanging in front of them. However, every cultivator will naturally have the confidence that they’ll be able to cultivate past the seventh transformation, so they’ll have to open an account and trade in our Magical Energy Bank.”

“Uh, I don’t understand. It’s too complicated. Anyways, I’ll leave this to you.” The System hurriedly pushed off the responsibility.

“Just leave it to me. Also, I want dividends from this.” Fang Ning nagged.

“Hm, you’ll get a thousandth. Nothing more, and no counteroffers.” Sir System said seriously.

“You really are stingy.” Fang Ning said grudgingly.

…

China’s Truth Department Headquarters, in Ren Ruofeng’s office.

He held his chin in one hand. He was still immersed in the meeting with his daughter and had not woken up yet.

“Knock knock”, the door rang.

“Come in.” Ren Ruofeng still cupped his chin, lost in his memories. The corners of his mouth lifted from time to time.

“What are you giggling about?” Hong Yunjiao’s cool voice was like a cold bucket of water that poured all over him, instantly making him shiver.

“Uh, I was thinking about the days I ran under the sunset. That was my lost youth.” Ren Ruofeng casually said nonsense.

“Hmph, you mean you were thinking about the days when you were at Azure Mountain…” Hong Yunjiao said coldly.

“Stop with the nonsense. Speak, what’s the matter?” Ren Ruofeng hurriedly changed the topic.

“Plop…” A pile of documents was placed on his desk.

“This is the data submitted by the various Special Affairs Department. It’s about the training situation for the people’s Cultivation of the Spirit and Nine Transformation Golden Core Technique. Among them, the cultivation progress of North and Southeast China is the fastest, with 1 in 1,000 people able to get started. The cultivation is slower in Northeast, Northwest, and Southwest China, with only 1 in 10,000 able to get started” Hong Yunjiao’s face was serious.

“Hm, isn’t that a little odd? Those two areas are the most densely populated, and most concentrated in the cities. The concentration of vitality is severely disturbed by modern human industry and everyday life, and has become relatively low. Moreover, the competition among people is fierce, so they shouldn’t be the fastest to cultivate…” Ren Ruofeng wondered as he leafed through the documents.

“As expected of the former Leader of the Think Tank Group, your analysis is good. However, you forgot one factor. In the past year, the shipping of Vitality Pills and herbs have increased, and have been able to supply the market in huge quantities. A 3,000 yuan Vitality Pill can save three months of time Vitality Respiration. The price is relatively low, but only people in economically developed areas can afford it.”

“I see.” Ren Ruofeng suddenly realized that the average income in these two areas was higher than that in other areas. The average monthly salary was less than 5,000 yuan, so how would they be able to afford a pill the price of 3,000 yuan?

“However, this price is also the limit price. It can’t go lower. The average cost price of Vitality Pills produced by us is at least around 1,000-1,500. I believe that other suppliers will not sell it at a lower price either. They will only double the price to supply the market after subsidizing to ensure that they won’t suffer losses. After all, logistics, warehousing, labor, and sales all require lots of costs.” Hong Yunjian continued.

“You don’t have to explain about that, I understand. Indeed as expected, there’s no true fairness. Although the Era of Vitality has begun, the starting point between people is still different.” Ren Ruofeng sighed.

“Hmph, you should know best about this, so why are you still sighing… How ridiculous.” Hong Yunjiao pointed out.

“Hey, don’t be so cryptic, okay? I know what you mean. These kinds of things are all God’s will, not my favoritism…” Ren Ruofeng argued.

“I’m not going to discuss these old matters with you anymore. Although the peoples’ progress is far ahead compared to other countries, there are also disadvantages that can’t be ignored. Since China doesn’t worship gods, the peoples’ spiritual power are all used to supply Nets Above Snares Below as its core defense. However, many countries have begun to worship gods, and they’ve begun to gain great advantages. The River God of the Sky River and the Indian Trinity that represent the gods, especially, are good at regulating their believers. One is good and the other is evil, but they both have unique features. We might not be able to maintain our lead in the long run.” Hong Yunjiao frowned.

“Hm, what you’ve said is a big problem. The contradiction between gods, and the contradiction between gods and their believers have been clearly revealed in recent major events. At present, there are only a couple of gods around, but they’re already so turbulent and unstable. In the future, when the Gods and Deities of the Upper Realm descend, how can our small Earth let them tear us apart? I need to think of a way to prepare before that happens. Without a long-term strategy, short-term achievement is impossible” Ren Ruofeng massaged his head.

…

The sands of time slipped away as time flew. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed; it was the middle of in the third year and sixth month of Shenyuan.

On the other side of the ocean, in a scientific institute in a European-style office building, there was a room with the sign “Director’s Office”.

In the room stood four to five people, as well as a table covered with a white cloth. There seemed to be something under that white cloth.

” Sir Burakh Pao 1 , as we promised before, there’ll definitely be results in March. With the help of the valuable information you have provided, now’s the time for us to fulfill our promise…” A middle-aged white man with half a bald head said politely to an Asian man wrapped in a black robe.

“Hehe, Madson, I really do want to see how much you’ve progressed. You should know that my owner’s money isn’t easy to take.” Black Robe said coldly.

“Please rest assured, I’ll show you immediately.” The white bald man hurriedly said, and turned to a young Asian man, “Wang Chao, show Sir Black Robe the way.”

“Yes, Director. Please have a look, sir.” Wang Chao uncovered the white cloth on the table and revealed a simple hand-cranked generator.

This generator was connected to a bulb through a section of wire.

The bulb was wrapped in a strange layer of blue translucent material.

Wang Chao began to crank the generator with shaking hands.

Over the past month or so, his boss Madson and he had found out the background of their generous investors.

They were devils…

As this was a scientific institute that studied vitality, it did not take long before they discovered the power attribute of their investors…

They knew all too well how terrifying devils were.

They acted without restraint, were temperament, and did as they pleased. Their money definitely was not easy to take.

Previous investments could be dealt with with patched up data, and although the waste of experimental materials was shocking, taxpayers that did not know how to do scientific research were always willing to pay for it.

However, if a devil’s invested money walked off into the sunset, they would not be able to hope for life nor pray for death.

Therefore, after discovering who they were, all other work of the entire research institute was suspended in order to completely devote to this project.

“The mutual transformation of vitality and power…”

Indeed, this was the large matter that Zhi Nan was secretly going for.

At this point, with Wang Chao’s action, the lightbulb gradually lit up.

After five minutes, five long and slow minutes, Black Robe let out a “huh” in what seemed to be surprise.

It turned out that near the blue translucent material, there was a subtle black aura. It was a type of vitality – devilish energy.
