Chapter 90
Comparison to the rewards for the group matches, the rewards for the individual matches were much richer, both in terms of quantity and quality, far surpassing those of the group matches.
Especially for Lin Yuan, achieving the global first place ranking meant even more substantial rewards.
"Mr. Lin Yuan, if there's anything on the reward list that you don't understand, feel free to ask me," said a woman standing beside him, wearing a pink dress with an elegant demeanor that couldn't help but evoke a sense of fondness.
There were fifty items listed on the reward list.
Some were high-tech weapons, battleships, and spacecraft.
There were also lineages of evolution pathways, among which was the "Purple Thunder" evolution pathway cultivated by Thunder God, which had once dominated the rankings on the Canglan Star.
There were also some cosmic "treasures", stellar "artifacts", rare "spiritual objects", and so on.
As the first-place winner of the arena individual match, Lin Yuan could choose five items from among them, and he had the priority to choose.
In other words, the other evolvers could only make their selections after Lin Yuan had made his.
According to the rules of the arena match:
The first-place winner could choose five items.
The second and third-place winners could choose three items each.
The fourth to tenth place winners could choose one item each.
"Which five should I choose?" Lin Yuan pondered quickly.
To be honest, Lin Yuan wanted all fifty items on the reward list.
After all, each item was valuable and worth billions, and they couldn't be bought with money alone; they also required citizen privileges and other restrictions.
Even if Lin Yuan didn't need them himself, he could sell them at a premium, and countless people would be willing to buy them.
"I don't need the Rank-3 Genetic Elixir."
"I don't need the Rank-4 Orbital Cannon, either."
Lin Yuan eliminated one item after another, finally settling on five.
First: Rank-4 Life Fruit.
This cosmic treasure contained a large amount of life force. For evolvers below Rank-5, as long as their souls remained intact, they could quickly recover from any serious injuries by consuming the Life Fruit.
It belonged to the category of life-saving treasures.
Moreover, the Rank-4 Life Fruit also had a certain effect on Rank-5 evolvers. As long as the injuries were not fatal, it would still be effective.
Lin Yuan chose the Life Fruit as a precaution against extreme situations. In case he suffered any injuries, he could use it immediately.
Furthermore, in the Cosmic Human Alliance, Life Fruits were highly valuable and always in short supply. Even if Lin Yuan didn't need them, he could liquidate them in the future.
Second: Soul Defense Artifact "Soul Calming Bell."
The Soul Calming Bell could guard one's own soul and effectively defend against other soul attacks or soul interference.
For life, the soul is crucial. In the Cosmic Human Alliance, the criterion for determining whether someone is a human is not based on the physical body but on the soul.
For example, some cosmic geniuses with great opportunities might "possess" certain powerful special life forms.
Is this cosmic genius still considered human?
Also, some influential figures' descendants might exchange for more powerful physical bodies. Is this descendant still considered the offspring of the influential figure?
The first one counts.
The second one counts too.
As long as the soul is unique, it's okay.
Third: Jiuli Liquid.
This liquid can increase the basic strength of the physical body to a certain extent, only effective for Rank-4 and below evolvers.
While the soul is crucial, the physical body is also indispensable.
Jiuli Liquid, on the Cosmic Human Alliance's commerce app, requires five billion just to have a chance of buying it.
It's just a chance; often, as soon as it appears, it's sold out.
Fourth: Soul Nurturing Jade.
Wearing this jade for a long time can subtly enhance soul strength.
As for the fifth item, he chose a Rank-6 evolution technique.
This Rank-6 evolution technique came from another life star. From its description, it should greatly complement Lin Yuan's martial arts cultivation system.
If Lin Yuan were to buy it directly, each evolution technique would cost tens of billions.
Among the fifty items, this Rank-6 evolution technique could be considered top-notch.
"That's all."
Lin Yuan returned the reward list to the woman in the pink dress.
"All right."
The woman's eyes were gentle. Before leaving, she suddenly mentioned, "By the way, Mr. Lin Yuan, there may be news from the Red Kun Star Domain in some time."
"I understand," Lin Yuan nodded.
Even before the third transmigration, Lin Yuan had learned from the Goddess of Wisdom that this arena competition might attract the attention of the Lord of the Red Kun Star Domain.
The Lord of the Red Kun Star Domain was a supreme figure who ruled over an entire star domain.
Currently, the Canglan Star was also under the jurisdiction of the Red Kun Star Domain, one of the millions of life planets under its rule.
Of course, the explanation given by the Goddess of Wisdom was vague.
It only mentioned the possibility of attracting the attention of the Lord of the Red Kun Star Domain, and even if attention was received, there might not necessarily be any reaction.
After choosing his rewards, the other evolvers began to make their selections one by one.
Suddenly, a beautiful woman approached from the opposite direction.
She seemed to be a resident of the Water Moon Residential Area as well.
"Hmm?"
Lin Yuan had a faint feeling of being observed and couldn't help but glance at the beautiful woman a few times.
Take a look.
Take another look.
And another.
Lin Yuan even stopped in his tracks, staring at the back of the beautiful woman.
"It really is a man."
Although the beautiful woman didn't turn around, she could sense Lin Yuan's gaze.
She intentionally pretended to have a chance encounter during this time period just to show herself in front of Lin Yuan.
Her clan cultivated a special charm technique that could naturally attract the opposite sex.
When she moved just now, she unconsciously used this charm technique, which directly caused the Rank-4 genius to stop in his tracks.
This made the beautiful woman more confident in her next actions.
Dealing with these young human geniuses by demoralizing them was the best way.
This was much easier than direct assassination and gave her a sense of accomplishment.
[Your insight is unrivaled, observing unknown lifeforms, comprehending unknown 'charm technique'.]
"Unknown 'charm technique'?"
Lin Yuan pondered for a moment and immediately realized that this 'charm technique' seemed to be something that the human race couldn't perform.
"A 'charm technique' that the human race can't perform, how did that woman use it?"
Lin Yuan was puzzled.
He could be sure that when the beautiful woman passed by him, she had used this unknown 'charm technique', otherwise, his unparalleled insight wouldn't have sensed it and comprehended it.
"If there's a problem, ask the Goddess."
Lin Yuan couldn't be bothered to think too much. After returning to his residence, he directly connected to the Goddess of Wisdom.
He uploaded the information about this unknown 'charm technique'.
In less than a moment, he received a reply from the Goddess of Wisdom.
"Respected citizen Lin Yuan, this 'charm technique' comes from the Flower God Clan. It is a high-level 'charm technique' formed by the clan utilizing special talents within their bloodline, combined with related secrets, capable of charming the minds of others."
The Goddess of Wisdom explained clearly.
"The Flower God Clan?"
Lin Yuan squinted his eyes slightly.
This clan was a plant-based lifeform and was an antagonistic race to the human race.
Because of their expertise in disguise and their familiarity with charming the minds of others, they often infiltrated human civilizations and acted as spies.
"That woman should be a member of the alien Flower God Clan."
Lin Yuan thought of the beautiful woman he had encountered in the garden just now.
With so many life planets in the Cosmic Human Alliance and so many high-level residential areas, the appearance of this alien near Lin Yuan was probably targeted at him.
"Is it because of the exposure from the arena competition?"
Lin Yuan thought to himself.
In the arena competition, revealing his Rank-4 strength was a decision Lin Yuan had made only after consulting the Goddess of Wisdom.
The explanation from the Goddess of Wisdom was that although humans under a hundred years old with Rank-4 strength would indeed attract the attention of aliens, it would only be attention, and they wouldn't be put on an assassination list.
At most, they would be subjected to persuasion and corruption. As long as Lin Yuan was cautious in advance, nothing would happen.
Revealing Rank-4 strength was very likely to attract the attention of the Lord of the Red Kun Star Domain and might even lead to great opportunities and benefits.
The risk was small.
The opportunities were high.
Considering everything, Lin Yuan chose to reveal his strength and crush the competition.
"To think I've discovered an alien."
Lin Yuan's thoughts surged.
If used properly, this alien could bring many benefits to Lin Yuan.
For example, following the traces of this alien might uncover more aliens behind her.
And aliens infiltrating human civilization definitely carried a lot of treasures. Lin Yuan could definitely gain something by fishing in troubled waters.
"Never mind."
"There's no need to associate with these rats in the gutter."
After pondering for a moment, Lin Yuan directly connected to the Goddess of Wisdom.
"Goddess of Wisdom, I have something to report."
