Chapter 631: 631. New feature launched

“Points can be exchanged for ‘Extraordinary Body Refilling,’ directly enhancing one’s realm.”

“Not only does it save a lot of tedious cultivation time, but it also ignores limitations like talent and age. It’s arguably the most powerful cheat, but it’s only available to people from Xia Country.”

“Outsiders like Mr. Xu, no matter how rich or powerful, only end up helping others accumulate.”

“Hu Yong didn’t even consider these people worth his attention, and couldn’t be bothered to compromise his business reputation for trivial gains.”

“With a grand gesture, he ordered his subordinates to collect the prisoners’ heads, ensuring each person received two or three points in their account.”

“Watching the numbers rise on the panel, the whole team was overjoyed.”

“They crossed oceans to gamble with their lives, and it was all for these points!”

“These were tangible powers, there wasn’t anything more economical than this in the world!”

“However, while his subordinates were in high spirits, Hu Yong looked up at the ‘Fierce Star’ with a solemn expression.”

“After capturing the medical ship, he had gained 50 points. Together with his previous accumulation, he now had over a thousand.”

“But the problem was… to exchange for the next realm ‘Marrow Cleansing,’ he needed 10,000 points!”

“Accumulating that amount, just by relying on Electric Fraud Garden, would take forever.”

“Especially as fewer dared to make the attempt, soon there would be no points left to earn.”

“That’s why Hu Yong was gazing at the sky, contemplating venturing into ‘Fierce Star.'”

“‘Brother Yong, it’s tough up there!'”

“Ah Hu, knowing his boss’s thoughts, leaned over and whispered:”

“‘There are huge numbers of aliens there, and some are Transcendent abnormals. We freelancers wouldn’t last three days.'”

“With foreign astronauts selling information, the situation on Fierce Star was no longer a secret.”

“Hu Yong grinned and said, ‘One must seek fortune amidst danger. Without risk, there are no points. And under the current circumstances… we have no choice but to go up.'”

“Ah Hu lowered his head, then suddenly said:”

“‘Brother Yong, without the scum from electric fraud, we could directly raid towns. There are plenty of points there.'”

“Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes lit up, and they all chimed in:”

“‘Brother Yong, let’s do it! There’s a coastal town not far from here.'”

“‘Those bastards are all accomplices, they deserve to die!'”

“His subordinates, eager as they were, left Hu Yong speechless, and even more puzzled about what criteria Lu God used for awarding points—clearly, it wasn’t related to good or evil…”

“Seeing he didn’t respond, Ah Hu also advised, ‘Brother Yong, why not exchange for Marrow Cleansing before you ascend to Fierce Star?'”

“‘Yeah, Brother Yong, maybe we all can follow you there.'”

“After a moment of silence, Hu Yong finally spoke:”

“‘I’ve been a soldier for a few years, I’m reluctant to attack civilians, but I won’t stop those of you who want to go. And as a brother, I must remind you…'”

“Hu Yong said solemnly, ‘We can’t withstand a regular army.'”

“Refining Internal Organs is just turning someone into a human-shaped tiger, the rest are just at Bone Forging level—essentially cannon fodder.”

“The enthusiasm of the crowd instantly faded, replaced by the instinct to cherish life.”

“After saying this, Hu Yong’s mind cleared considerably.”

“He felt one ought to maintain some bottom lines, preserve some humanity.”

“Otherwise, acting like beasts, blinded by instinct, it would only be a matter of time before lives were lost.”

“But as noble as principles are, they won’t fill stomachs. Hu Yong had to venture into ‘Fierce Star,’ accumulate points.”

“Social living, higher intelligence, extraordinary powers… such adversaries were definitely extremely dangerous.”

“But they also offered the fastest way to sift through and nurture real talent.”

“Only Lu Li had devised a gentler method…”

“At that moment, Hu Yong was about to discuss his plans to head to Fierce Star with his brothers.”

“But suddenly, everyone present froze.”

“The points interface popped up automatically, announcing on the homepage:”

“[Cross-border function now online]”

“[Shuttle through All Heavens and Myriads of Worlds, return ticket 20 points]”

“…

“After a moment of silence, the place erupted into uproar:”

“Cross-border! Does this mean we can go to otherworlds?”

“Otherworlds, oh! Unbelievable!”

“It’s free to go, but you earn 20 points when you return?”

“Anyone who goes is bound to gain something, just like clearing an instance in a game, depends on the difficulty.”

The sudden launch of the new feature took everyone by surprise.

Hu Yong looked at the ‘Cross-border’ button on the points interface, and several options popped into his mind.

“Three Kingdoms, Eagle Shooting, Late Ming… There are three initial worlds to choose from!”

“Brother Yong, what do you say?”

Everyone turned their attention to Hu Yong, seeking his advice.

Hu Yong thought for a few seconds and made a swift decision,

“If Lu God arranged it, then we must not miss out! Gather the gear, we will leave immediately for… the Late Ming!”

“The Late Ming, great choice, chaotic times mean more points!”

Everyone was spirited and hurriedly prepared.

There was no need for elaborate preparations, as each person could only bring items weighing up to 20 kilograms, a set of individual equipment was about right.

As an experienced team, it only took Hu Yong and his group half an hour to get ready.

After checking each other to ensure everything was in order, they simultaneously selected the ‘Late Ming’ option…

The next second, a golden portal suddenly appeared and swallowed the people, disappearing into nowhere.

They left in a bit of a rush, but securing an early advantage in something arranged by Lu Li could not be wrong.

Almost at the same time, far away on the Yan State Continent, “Nong Guanghai,” also led his team to the Late Ming world.

Various other minor and major supernatural organizations followed suit, each choosing different worlds.

Those who had firearms were confident; casual players dared not act recklessly.

As usual, they gathered in specialized forums and communities to discuss strategies.

But they soon realized that the matter was unusually heated!

Virtually all social media platforms were abuzz with posts and videos of people claiming they had received an invitation from Lu God to “transcend!”

And without exception, these people all had Bone Forging or higher cultivation.

A Bone Forging constitution compares to that of a national-level athlete and isn’t particularly fantastical.

Since Lu Li introduced transcendent abilities nearly a year ago, he also brought the Spirit Mechanism above ground.

With ample nutrition, complete cultivation methods, and the effect of the Spirit Mechanism.

Many domestic cultivation enthusiasts reached Bone Forging through their own efforts.

They too were prompted by the points interface and the cross-border functionality!

The frenzy completely exploded, filling the front pages of all social platforms.

One straightforward spirited young man ran down to the supermarket to buy some food, then directly crossed over.

Leaving behind a video: “Going to Eagle Shooting, will return after Divine Skill achieved~”

Followed by a string of replies:

“Damn, are you going to donate yourself, at least bring a kitchen knife.”

“Are you not afraid of death?”

“Should be fine, Lu God wouldn’t let us suffer.”

“I really want to know how this guy is doing, ask Lu God to introduce a live stream feature.”

…

While Xia Country was abuzz, the overseas mood was gloomy and bleak.

Through the internet, the news had already spread globally.

The divinity was finding ways to support the Eastern People, yet disdainfully ignoring other nationals, even harboring malice.

Not just the points, but those cultivation methods were only effective within Xia Country and lost their effectiveness abroad.

This was because when Lu Li last returned, he only routed the Spirit Mechanism to Xia Country’s surface.

Such pettiness and narrow-mindedness, possessing the power of a true god, left Westerners both fearful and resentful, yet utterly helpless.

Seemingly in response to their desperate prayers, a massive fleet suddenly appeared near the edge of the Solar System in the “Ort Nebula.”
