Chapter 610: Chapter 610
610: Chapter 590: A Sudden Whim 610: Chapter 590: A Sudden Whim Sometimes, Lu Ping’an admired the optimism of these professionals.
They were just fighting for their lives moments ago, with the bodies of the dead still lying there, and a group of unfortunate souls were still receiving antipetrification and emergency treatment…
“To be able to laugh and even hold a celebration banquet amidst scenes of people crying for the dead,” Lu Ping’an had seen enough of life and death, but not in the ancient city.
He just felt that this place, although not far from the city district of the ancient city, was completely a different world.
“You’ll get used to it.” Director Shi, whose family member had been saved, was quite interested in chatting with Lu Ping’an.
He also somewhat noticed, though his talents and strength were quite extraordinary, Lu Ping’an was genuinely a newbie.
“Generally speaking, the city is a safe area, quite peaceful, while our side, in some sense, is a battlefield – sometime happens quite often.”
In fact, it was just this simple truth – that death occurs every day here, and people lose their loved ones…
Since they were unable to change the environment, they could only change themselves.
At least, be a little more optimistic, laugh a little more, then, perhaps, they could live a bit more relaxed.
“Are such events – I mean such scale of a beast wave and beast king – frequent?”
“There is one every two or three months.
This one ended too quickly, and it’s unclear whether it was a quarterly or yearly event.
I personally think that the Beast King was quite strong…”
Underground palace riots are now a kind of daily routine, with irregular frequency and intensity based on their scale.
And just within the Ancient City, there are several such “Secret Realm Groups” that require legions to guard continuously.
Most of these small-medium caves have become the hunting grounds for scattered professionals.
In some sense, this is the primary reason for the open policy of the Explorer system.
The official forces on Earth can no longer bear this endless continuous bloodshed.
Based on today’s trend, Lu Ping’an, who had returned from the Foreign Domain and used his spoils of Otherworldly war, has reversed the situation, greatly reducing the loss of professionals…
This, on one hand, seems to validate the correctness of the Explorer policy.
This is a process of mutual dissolution.
The suppression of these wild Secret Realms was not difficult decades ago.
But now, neither the government nor the military can bear this constant bleeding.
They need to enhance their own power to suppress these “wounds”.
“…Leave the battlefield on the battlefield to let ordinary people live normal lives.
A few decades ago, the “truth” of this world was even in the shadows.
The times are constantly moving forward, and no one can refuse to change.
But at least from the current feedback of explorers, it’s a good thing.
“With a few Rule-level items, one may turn the tide of battle…” Though Lu Ping’an’s performance was somewhat misleading, one cannot say it’s a lie.
A Rule-level item cannot simply be seen as an “item”.
It is the embodiment of the “World Rules” and can even be seen as the world’s nutrition.
Deities or similar existences can extract “rules” from Rule-level or higher items.
Afterwards, it’s possible to either perfect one’s own Divine Kingdom or establish their path.
To truly use Rule-level items purely as combat weapons is clearly a waste…
If Decree-level taboo items are worth building a career system and combat mode for the professionals around them, then Rule-level taboo item owners spend their whole days staring at their treasures, trying to scrape out a bit of “rules”.
If their professional systems and “rules” are aligned, then their power will immediately escalate.
Perhaps one day, they might acquire the possibility of reaching the Rule-level from that Rule-level item.
Just like how it’s extremely difficult for the “Cursed-level” to break into “Decree-level”, for Decree-level to break into Rule-level, it’s even harder…The war in the Ancient City not long ago was, in fact, a show of ambition by a few contenders trying to break into the Rule-level.
Professionals at the peak of Decree-level often have their own paths, only relying on their hard work to ascend the ranks proves to be too difficult…
The simplest method is actually to find a higher level being of the same origin.
They yearn to acquire the “life rules” from the “relics” of the big cat and take the opportunity to ascend.
This short journey left a deep impression on Lu Ping’an.
The more he understood the divergence between “law enforcement” and “military” systems, the more he realised the enormous wealth he held…
“First, let’s absorb them…”
It’s ‘them’ and not ‘it’.
Lu Ping’an didn’t just have one Rule-level item.
In his final days of selling ship tickets, Lu Ping’an had with him four Truth-level items, two of which were evaluated as Rule-level by Life Bank after putting together bits and pieces from everywhere, in addition to those Rule-level items he had already put to use.
Although they are all at Lower Gold, the lowest tier of the Rule-level…
they are still Rule-level!
Not too long ago, the entire law enforcement department of the city had only two such treasures.
Although Lu Ping’an’s treasury seemed to grow considerably, and the treasures seemed easy to come by…
It was because the Silent Mountain Range World was nearing its destruction, making desperate efforts, hell-bent on its survival, with its “rules” apparently trying to escape actively.
“This kind of opportunity, Eastern Country has probably been preparing for decades.
A golden opportunity is hard to come by next time.”
The several treasures in Lu Ping’an’s possession, regardless of whether they are used by him or are given to an “employee” to establish a strong base, required careful consideration.
If he rashly rushes into an otherworldly realm without thoroughly digesting them first…
wouldn’t he just be a courier presenting gifts?
Lu Ping’an’s current strength was actually in line with the normal definition of a professional – that is to say, it’s all about two major “rules”.
One was his Life Bank, the inheritance from the big cat, with whatever he invested being derivatives.
The most valuable thing was always the whole talent and ability system.
The other was the legacy rule left by the Sophist.
That Life Illustration provided Lu Ping’an with elite warriors and compensated for his regret of not being able to become a Beast Tamer.
Liu Zibei’s legacy seemed powerful and combat-ready, however he was still some distance away from the “rules”, hence his legacy was always just a “weapon”.
Lu Ping’an’s strength clearly exceeded his tier, which was actually the result of him already possessing the “rules”, having on hand the abilities that professional elites could possibly have.
Of course, more importantly, he had already passed the most difficult hurdle in advance…
As long as he accumulated enough points, he could naturally ascend to the next level.
Lu Ping’an did not have to worry like other professionals, not having to be stuck at the Decree-level for ten years, nor being stuck at the Rule-level for thirty years.
A Rule-level item can even create a future “Rule-level seed”.
In this respect, one could mention Lei’s eldest brother.
His progress was probably at a rapid pace.
What made Lu Ping’an hesitate was that he had too many Rule-level items in his hands…
Some Rule-level items were obviously very incompatible with him; it was impossible to use them well in the short term, and yet the side effects were quite troublesome.
Dismantling and selling them for Life-Points would mean suffering losses.
To give them to others?
Besides the issues of compatibility and loyalty, even the people he trusted most had no possibility of “comprehending” the rules at present.
To use them purely as weapons would be too wasteful.
Suddenly, he had an idea…
“Chris, what would happen if I use Rule-level items as one of the materials for creating beasts in the Life Illustration?”
there would be many professionals who would want to kill you.”
