I Can Reap Qi Fortune from Players

"They are truly ruthless."

At the Sword Casting Manor, Ning Zheng reopened the vortex next door after a five-day interval.

As soon as the space turbulence was activated, it revealed a distorted and blurry scene—a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, with two individuals slaughtering a civilization of giant shrimp depicted on the mural of a tomb.

A thousand lives every second, it truly hurts.

Thus, he dared not watch often. Watching once every five days was already quite diligent, yet he did not expect that upon opening it this time, they had reached this level.

Night Mad Cultivator, Jiucai Rong, were no longer immature, their expressions sharp as knives, giving off an aura of seasoned warriors amidst corpses and blood.

They were striving, doing their utmost, continuing as the two main managers of the manor, leading the blacksmiths to survive in the harsh Otherworld!

For them, this was not a game but a blood-soaked reality.

Thousands of years.

Perhaps it's merely a growth story of a Three Elements Realm expert from Pingchang City.

Yet it was enough to endure the agony of death, transform their minds, becoming ruthless, decisive.

Now, they have completely thrown these young blacksmiths into the forging furnace, mercilessly tempering them, swimming to remove impetuousness, honing them from a bunch of incompetents into treasure swords.

Indeed.

Supreme treasure swords.

This is how Ning Zheng now evaluates them.

Truly, Night Mad Cultivator and Jiucai Rong, in strict terms, were talents wasted...

They would never become core disciples in any Immortal Sect, being instantly eliminated in terms of comprehension of cultivation techniques, speed of cultivation, combat skills...

The only thing they had to rely on was their minds, hence they were made managers.

But now things were different.

Attributes, comprehension, skills... were merely determinants of your lower limits but could not define your upper limits.

Now, the two have gained so many benefits, copying the Human God Flower... both major features of the artist's era have fallen into your hands.

And they've become Ghost Kings, growing stronger by consuming ghosts.

With millions of ghosts in the tomb for their cultivation, millions of enemies honing their combat techniques, challenging them one by one...

Fighting hundreds every day, endlessly leveling up by battling monsters!

In the words of the blacksmiths, "About My Hundred Years of Ghost Fighting in the Otherworld Becoming a Max-Level Big Shot."

Gathering so many benefits, along with the Nine-State's number one Divine Artifact enabling traversal, even a pig with such a high starting point would reach the Self-Transformation Realm.

In the late stages, comprehension, combat skills... could all be compensated for by various means.

"For them, skills are no longer a weakness."

Ning Zheng sighed, "At the level of the Self-Transformation Realm, it tests the tiers of divine techniques you've accumulated before and your mind... their minds surely have no issues, quite cunning."

Originally, Ning Zheng thought Su Yuniang was the traditional cultivator with comprehension and combat capabilities.

But even Su Yuniang wasn't considered very high.

At most a direct disciple of a mid-sized Two-Phase Realm sect.

A normal lifelong achievement would be a Two-Phase Realm, unable to match the Nine-State's top-tier genius like Jian Xin.

Don't think this is weak—a local city's talented generation produces just one Two-Phase Realm every few decades; Su Yuniang in Pingchang City would be a seed player, but in Xinyi Continent City, only medium-level.

Yet who would've thought that two "failures" would come from behind.

Ning Zheng glanced at Sun Moon Su Yuniang cooking beside him.

"Today, let's fight fish!" Sun Moon Su Yuniang squatted in the yard counting small fish.

"Sister, what is this?" Ning Jiaojiao's eyes widened.

Su Yuniang looked moved, "This is called a gyroscope! I plan to create a footless biological gyroscope, spinning all its life like a twisting ballet, forever turning, dying when it finally stops."

Ning Zheng heard this and couldn't help but exclaim in shock.

Where did this demon come from?

If this spinning creature could reproduce, we'd really have to thank you.

A lifetime spent in torture.

This Sun Moon Su Yuniang is indeed something else; while others have reached the Self-Transformation Realm, she's still idling.

"As long as life is too comfortable, it boils down to a twenty-year-old girl's nature—this mindset is understandable... she needs to be thrown into the Otherworld for a few hundred years to hone herself and become talented."

"And if not? In such a perilous Otherworld, she'd likely be dead."

Ning Zheng glanced at them, contemplating whether there were any new spaceships to send them to that idle adventure team.

"But what I didn't expect was that they broke through so quickly, without waiting for our achievements to be sent over; but that's good... there seems to be no issue with it."

Originally, Ning Zheng planned to send the achievements back today, which led him to check in advance; unexpectedly, he witnessed this.

Acquiring achievements in five days was indeed already swift!

The blacksmiths at the manor were very diligent.

The Yin Yang Creation Furnace had never stopped running for twenty-four hours, while the Nine Chapters Immortal Artifact kept summarizing big data and repeatedly experimenting, finally resulting in the initial version of the giant shrimp.

"It's not that we were too slow, but time waits for no one on that side; I have a premonition that if they don't rise within a month, they'll perish—we must speed up."

After all.

A month equals 3,000 years, and failing to develop is quite normal.

While we've been lazing around for months, likely waiting for the Embers Disaster to enter its next explosive phase, things over there have already turned upside-down.

Ning Zheng directly walked up the manor, traversing the square, ignoring the blacksmiths accepting tasks at the [Task Board], and entered the Alchemy Room, gazing at the Yin Yang Creation Furnace.

On the ground, a golden giant shrimp waved its two large pincers.

"We're conducting final tests."

Beside him, the Medical Fairy held a report, dressed in a white coat:

"This giant shrimp, we've used copied Spiritual Root, along with that metal stone, finally brought one to life, but its genetics still appear very unstable—its lifespan might be only two to three days."

"Oh?" Ning Zheng showed signs of surprise.

"Considering what was achieved in a few days like this is already strong enough; as long as it lives, the length of its lifespan is irrelevant. Once we kill it, there's a 50% chance of producing embers."

"We've devised a batch of golden shrimp embers using the synthesis formula, fusing them... to become the Demon Ghost King, using the blood flesh of Xian for awakening, which will completely complete the foundation, becoming a new perfect life! Free from genetic defects."

The Medical Fairy smiled, quite satisfied with the whole process.

This is the age we live in now.

We certainly need to combine with the awakening methods of the new era, evolving races.

After all, the principle of their Yin Yang Creation Furnace is not to create races, but to crossbreed them, forcibly making two creatures reproduce.

Genetic defects are inherent results of this Immortal Artifact.

Couple that with the evolution disaster of biological creation to precisely fill in those defects.

Ning Zheng listened and nodded:

"Just create one Demon Ghost King, then transmit it over; the process of final awakening into a new species can be completed on that side, using their offering blood flesh to illuminate this species."

"That's exactly what we're thinking."

The Immortal Aunt joined in the tests, "Perhaps the attributes of offering blood flesh differ between the two worlds, and using the offering blood flesh of the natives there might align better with local conditions."

"Moreover, they'll have to undergo secondary evolution, modifications, adapting to local conditions."

The Immortal Aunt gazed at the giant shrimp, her eyes filled with satisfaction.

Completing it was quite fulfilling.

Ning Zheng nodded, "Accelerate the fusion process, aim to finish by noon today."

"Rest assured." The Medical Fairy said, "Upon concluding the last tests, it will certainly be completed within three hours, and by the afternoon, we can deploy it next door."

"By the way, how are things going on the other side." At this moment, Jiucai Rong finally hurried over from the office.

"They've already had an internal conflict, it's been five hundred years on that side now." Ning Zheng said, "Things have turned upside down over there."

Jiucai Rong instantly laughed, meaningfully adding:

"It turned out just as we anticipated—internal conflict is good; we deliberately didn't inform them of the time difference, stirring up a battle is exactly what we wanted."
