Chapter 1135: Chapter 1135

1135: Chapter 1121: Advancement 1135: Chapter 1121: Advancement Lu’s bold strides forward were never made on a whim.

This time, he was testing the waters, but also planning a theft.

And judging by the current progress, it seemed he had succeeded….

“The progress of the Arms Fair is severely delayed, and the reason turned out to be a shortage of high-level personnel within the Southern School….”

When Lu Ping’an put forward this “subject,” the high-level figures of the life system were not only shocked but also quickly swept into it.

Just as Lu Ping’an had predicted, no high-level life series could resist the temptation of “Granting Life.”

Lu Ping’an was like an academic contractor, presenting a significant project, making these bosses work voluntarily…

And their “efforts” might also be the harvest they craved the most.

“Creation,” or rather “Granting Life,” has always been the greatest mystery and taboo of the life system.

Lu was fishing like Jiang Taigong, willing to take those who take the bait.

As long as the lure was enticing enough, there was no worry that they wouldn’t bite.

Even the “power” he promised became less important compared to the truth itself.

“Being able to complete this subject is my greatest gain.”

The life system was always about the “academic” pursuit of life’s secrets.

Lu Ping’an might truly be a genius, but his accumulation was always inadequate.

At his level, to complete the subject of “Rebirth (Granting Life)”…

According to Big Cat’s estimate, without cheating or outsourcing, ten years would be quick, thirty years would be good luck, and that is considering him as a super genius.

A slightly less talented person could spend their entire life without completing it.

The difficulty of this “Decree” was absurd; its breadth spanned the Healer, Beastmaster, and Gardener three major systems, and its depth reached the Quasi-God’s creation rules.

The sole reason it was Decree-level was that Lu Ping’an was just at the Decree level.

For Lu to solve it was like a primary school student trying to solve a spaceflight problem—not entirely impossible, but first, he needed to complete the entire education and become a real aerospace engineer.

He didn’t have the patience, nor did he have the time…

“…The progress is faster than expected.”

Now, these Decree and Rule-level powerhouses were working overtime like crazy.

Any “knowledge” related to “creation” they were willing to throw directly into the Taboo Library for Lu to learn and master.

And whenever Lu had something he didn’t understand, he could receive explanations from at least three Rule-level entities…

Indeed, the other two Rule-level figures on the island were also dragged into this.

They, too, couldn’t resist the temptation of “creation” and “rebirth.”

Mutual benefit, or win-win scenarios, have always been Lu Ping’an’s greatest weapon…..

And he wasn’t worried about his “results” being stolen, as his Talent Abilities, Life Encyclopedia (bound) and unique Professional Abilities (Life-points/coins/account book) were all core components of this power, indispensable to each other.

Even if the dead dropped coins, they wouldn’t drop everything….

Lu shared enough bountiful benefits to keep these Rule-level figures tied to his chariot, becoming his “working minions.”

With the local three Rule-level, along with Big Cat, Fei’er, and Eve three Rule-level and above…

Even Fang Wen, a Law Peak, could only chip in with miscellaneous help and suggestions.

Six above Rule-level figures, along with more than twenty Decree-level Masters, was an assembly mighty enough to obliterate some small countries, yet they were merely used to “solve a problem.”

Madness, everything had completely descended into madness.

The daily affairs of Longyue Island, the academic work of the Southern Sea Swallow School, had all come to a halt.

These big bosses even used their connections to bring in “useable” quality talent.

Accompanied by two more Rule-level and dozens of Decree-level joining in, the perfection progress of “Rebirth” accelerated once again.

And all Lu had to do was learn.

He learnt the “knowledge theory” from the Southern School, duplicated the “Taboo knowledge” they designated in the Taboo Library, spent points to buy the Professional Abilities (Decree) they offered…

Lu’s originally barren “Gardener system” was also being rapidly filled up.

He was being force-fed, yet he was also enjoying the elite education from nearly a hundred bosses…..

And the “learning talent” he exhibited seemed to be at the Rule-level too.

Force-feeding was effective; just by “Summoning Treant,” Lu learned seven versions….

“Eh, something’s not right, how did I learn this.”

When another version of “Summoning Treant” appeared on the panel, Lu was stunned himself.

[Summoning Treant Revelers’ Ball (Silver Medium Order): Designate a forest and transform it into a fervent legion of treant warriors that attack all non-treant life forms approaching before completely collapsing.]

The usefulness of the ability itself aside, Lu Ping’an was surprised that he had actually grasped this Silver Mid-position Decree.

I’m really fifth-tier now…..”

Looking at the system panel’s prompt, Lu Ping’an was a bit baffled.

But now, he had indeed entered the fifth tier with an unprecedented ease, through the accumulation of which he was unaware.

“…..That’s not right, my core Decree hasn’t been completed, how did I advance.”

“If that thing was truly completed, you wouldn’t just be fifth-tier anymore…Rest easy, it’s normal.

Even if it’s a half-finished product, even if it’s just a small part of the research results, it’s still enough for you to advance.”

At this time, Lu Ping’an was like a cup overflowing with water.

He was forcibly raised into the fifth tier.

However, he could feel that he was still improving.

That “Decree”, even unformed and merely at a theoretical stage, had forcefully elevated Lu Ping’an’s “hardware” to the fifth tier….

He was like an old computer madly running “software”, where the struggling software itself had forced an upgrade of the hardware.

“…..Never mind,” he thought.

Lu Ping’an didn’t even bother to discuss it with his companions, as it would probably stir up another storm.

And this also meant that the Silver Mid-position Decree had become a possibility for accumulation…The result was a greater workload, yet it made the bosses even more excited.

“You have advanced on your own path, which shows that no matter good or bad, this road isn’t at an end…We can go even further in our deduction!

Your vessel has grown, you can learn even more!”

He just silently studied, accumulated, quietly progressed, and then prayed that he wouldn’t accidentally be forcibly raised into the sixth tier….

Should he really reach the sixth tier or even Quasi-rule, these bosses would probably go even crazier.

They might keep deducing for years and directly come up with a “Rule”.

Perhaps the prayers worked, or maybe his “accumulation” was always just not enough.

In the end, one day Lu Ping’an’s fifth-tier steps came to a halt…and he got an unverified “prototype”!

Their research had achieved its first “result”.

And when the development phase ended, Lu Ping’an hadn’t even had the chance to test when new troubles arrived….

“Ugh, the Arms Fair starts next week?

Has it already been one and a half months?” It was only then that all the bosses realized that their “homework” was completely undone.

When everyone was fully invested, time naturally flew by.

In the courtyard, the bosses began to make contact with the outside world, and only then did they notice that some things had not been arranged in time….

and they had already accumulated a pile of regular contacts and correspondence.

The bosses looked at each other.

The “Mercury 42” development plan was actually quite important, involving the developments of the entire Lin Woman Power, and if they really botched it even the god would come down to inquire…..

By then, no one would be able to escape the blame.

Going to work was a must, but before that…

“Let’s find someone to try….uh, let me do it!”

Old Lu was the first to stand up, then got slapped to the back by someone else, another eighth-tier Big Boss stepped forward.

I’m the strongest, and if something goes wrong, I can adjust!”

They were all so eager that they almost started fighting on the spot.

But Lu Ping’an shook his head, based on his understanding of his own abilities…..

“…Just as expected, I can’t use it.”

He attempted to use it at the Rule level, and the prompt was as expected: “The discrepancy between the two sides is too large, ineffective”…but Lu Ping’an had actually already prepared the first test subject…..

“Meow, it’s up to you now.

Look, all those bosses want to go first…”

Meow didn’t reply but directly scratched Lu Ping’an’s face and then turned tail to escape!
