I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

Chapter 294 Precious Information!_2

"If the average Divine Attribute was at 12 points, the yearly profit would have been 500! That's not a small amount, right?"

Lu Yuan replied with a bitter smile, "An average of 12 points for a population of one hundred million, meaning everyone could study engravings, how easy could that be?"

The Divine Attribute initially rose at a decent pace, keeping up with the "Shape" and "Qi" attributes.

But by the time it reached Level 2, it began to fall behind, unable to keep up.

When "Shape" and "Qi" reached 10 points, the Divine would often be only around 7-8 points.

With "Shape" and "Qi" at 15 points, Divine would lag at 10 points, and the gap would widen further as levels progressed.

An average Divine Attribute of 9 points could still be worked on diligently, but 12 was truly an unattainable number.

Lu Yuan then asked, "How much does a master's dream count for compared to ordinary people?"

"Masters actually have a fairly average weighting... because masters do not overflow with much Dream Energy. An ordinary person can produce one ten-thousandth of their Soul Value daily, whereas a master often drops to one in ten million, or even one in a hundred million!"

"Of course, as long as the Divine is high enough, the Dream Energy produced is still more than that of an ordinary person. Why are Great Spirit Rhythmers treasured? Because just the Dream Energy is a significant number."

"But the most critical part is the utilization rate of Dream Energy! Without the ability to collect it, it's useless!"

"We have here an eyeball from a Nightmare Phenomenon that, for just 100 Spirit Essence can be yours. It's capable of collecting around 20% of the Dream Energy in a 15-kilometer radius!"

"How about I give you a 10% discount?" He snapped his fingers, and a Blue-clothed ratman came forward, holding an eyeball the size of a basketball.

Lu Yuan took a look.

[Hundred-Eyed Nightmare Eyeball (Rare Level·Extraordinary Item)]

Hundred-Eyed Nightmare? Hundred-Eyed?

This Yellow-clothed rat person's intention to make money was blatantly obvious.

However, humans on this side really did not need it, as the opium poppy trees had long since devoured all the Dream Energy.

"And that's it? This bit of information costs 30 cents? Mr. Rat isn't being very generous."

Shu Huangfeng narrowed his eyes and added, "Of course, there's more information. Dream Energy is about the masses."

"While Spark Energy can also be converted into Spirit Essence, which is the elite path."

A red Extraordinary Fire ignited in the palm of his hand.

"Constantly stripping away the energy of the Spark and inputting it into some rechargeable Spirit Crystals can generate about one-third of a Soul Value annually."

This amount was actually quite notable; a person with 18 points in Divine indefinitely supplying Spark Energy could produce 1 Spirit Essence in three years.

A person with 20 points in Divine could offer 9 Spirit Essence in three years!

But the cost was... becoming weaker!

After all, Spark Energy is the core of the Extraordinary Level; continuously exporting it would naturally shorten one's lifespan, and the Divine Attribute would also slowly decrease.

A brilliant genius could become nothing but trash in a few years...

Shu Huangfeng then changed the subject, "Our tribe's elites are unlikely to use this method. However, slaves purchased from the outside can be used as human power generators..."

"My tribe also possesses some tricks that allow our people to supply a small amount of Spark Energy without affecting their own Cultivation."

"Just 100 Spirit Essence, and this method is yours!"

"You could produce about one-thirtieth of a Soul Value annually!"

It was rather like donating blood; if you donate a small amount, there shouldn't be any major issues, as long as you keep within certain limits.

From this perspective, Spark Energy indeed is much stronger than Dream Energy.

Lu Yuan immediately shook his head; we can figure it out ourselves, can't we? Is there a need to buy it?

Shu Huangfeng's eyes flicked, already knowing you wouldn't buy it.

He continued, "We have Natural Wonders that reserve Ideal Energy, reasonably priced, does Lu the King have any need for this?"

You'll have to buy this, right?

If you want to store electrical power, you need to buy a power bank, right?

Lu Yuan remained silent.

This indeed had a demand, but we could mine it ourselves, no hurry, it's only the early Epoch now.

Your stuff isn't even monopolized...

Finding a civilization's ruins, we're bound to unearth some.

The two large buckteeth of Shu Huangfeng "click-clacked"—how could a civilization leader be so stingy?!

He continued, "Our energy storage crystal stones come from the stone-carrying turtle, the efficiency of energy absorption and release is absolutely better than any stones you could dig up!"

He clapped his hands, "Bring up the goods."

A blue-clothed ratman, carrying a box, scurried over.

Upon opening the box, there lay a crystal the size of a chicken egg, shimmering blue, very beautiful.

[Empty Spirit Crystal (Ordinary Level), likely from some Anomaly.]

[Can store 6.5 Spirit Essence of Ideal Energy. (Current value is 0.00001)]

[Note: The higher the quality of a Spirit Crystal, the purer the Ideal Energy it can store, the better the effects for cultivation and certain experiments. In high Ideal Energy environments, the quality of forged equipment can receive a bonus.]

[As the Qi Fortune of the Ninth Epoch rises and falls, Empty Spirit Crystals will also slowly replenish minute amounts of Ideal Energy. The higher the quality, the faster the automatic replenishment.]

These things were indeed quite good... they were essentially like batteries, to store electrical energy, you need a battery.

Lu Yuan looked at the colossal "stone-carrying turtle;" these empty spirit crystals must be the shedding from that stone.

"Every civilization has its own heritage, huh..."

However, he did not want to pay with Spirit Essence, bartering would be more cost-effective.

"Are there other ways?"

Seeing their interest, Shu Huangfeng was in no hurry now.

"Slaughtering a civilization, the fluctuations of Luck, will make the empty spirit crystals rapidly charge, thereby obtaining a large amount of Spirit Essence. Quite amazing, right? If you don't store up some Empty Spirit Crystals now, you'll only waste that surging fortune later."

"Besides using Empty Spirit Crystals to collect Luck, there are more advanced methods of collecting Qi Fortune, but these methods are quite expensive... Only very powerful civilizations can research this technology."

Lu Yuan took a deep breath; the methods Shu Huangfeng referred to must be "Magic Cube Energy," Epic Level items indeed not bad.

"Oh, by the way, most Extraordinary Animals, Extraordinary Plants, Extraordinary Materials, can be transformed into Spirit Essence. This method isn't complicated... Using a technique known as Gathering Spirit Rune, with a conversion rate of about 80-90%, I can sell it to you cheaply."

"Some Anomalies also have the ability to collect Spiritual Essence. These sorts of Anomalies tend to prefer cooperation with civilizations, less aggressive."

He rattled off a bunch of methods in one breath.

Shu Huangfeng seemed somewhat proud; their family's "stone-carrying turtle," that big stone on its shell, could collect civilization's Luck.

Shamefully, their Shu Mi Dam Civilization didn't have much Luck left.

They were no longer the protagonists of the Ninth Epoch.

Only by snatching the Luck from other civilizations could they make the big stone light up.

"As for uses of Spirit Essence... In the idealist field, it's nearly omnipotent. From individual cultivation to equipment foraging, to large-scale civilization projects, all require the support of Spirit Essence."

"That's another grand topic.

"Oh, by the way, the last method to collect Spirit Essence is by forging Extraordinary Equipment! Craftsmanship, Engraving reading, Plant Affinity, Animal Affinity, the reason why they are esteemed and more expensive than other Divine Skills, is because they can directly produce Spirit Essence!"

"So, it's like that, thank you for the guidance..."

This information was indeed quite important, 30 cents, truly not expensive.

All human scientists present pondered thoughtfully.

The collection and utilization of "Spirit Essence" is something every civilization must meticulously plan for.

To obtain Physical Energy, whether it's coal, oil, or nuclear fusion, there are many ways, and wasting a little doesn't matter much.

But Ideal Energy is generally created by life, very precious; even the mighty Great Lai Empire, Gear Civilization, couldn't afford to use it like dirt.
