Chapter 1059: Chapter 774: The Gap is Quite Big

The cultivation method is suitable for the entire population, and its effect is quickly visible. In the world of Zheng Yichen, for those with good talent, a noticeable improvement can typically be seen within half a month.

After that, the progress slows down significantly. Essentially, this cultivation method is specifically designed for emergency scenarios, providing fast entry and quick effects, but that’s about it once early effects are seen.

It won’t immediately lead to the emergence of any exceptionally outlandish beings. To cultivate someone extraordinarily unique, the individual would need to be a one-in-a-million genius.

Otherwise, at a minimum, it would take over half a year to not only see quick effects but also to achieve new breakthroughs.

This method is also widely adopted in his world, and its introduction didn’t cause any social issues because his world values martial prowess and everyone has some foundational skills already.

The addition of an even better method for laying foundations didn’t make much difference in the end.

"Hmm... This method isn’t bad, let’s upload it first." The foundational practice method that Du Gang provided suits well, especially now that the world has changed; lacking this could cause even greater chaos.

Having this could help shorten the time it takes for humans to enhance themselves to keep up with the aberrant creatures.

It can shorten it somewhat, but don’t expect to surpass the aberrant creatures.

Lilith will spread it online, and with Lilith’s capabilities, it can be precisely pushed to everyone’s electronic devices. As for those who might not believe in it?

Forget it, even the bugs in groceries can jump up and bite nowadays; those who don’t believe are probably not going to catch up with the changing times anyway.

It is as it is now, but in a while, who knows what other ludicrous things will emerge, and by then, more people will be in trouble.

That day, a storm brewed online with the emergence of this cultivation method, puzzling many. However, this practice is simple, easy to understand, and learnable by anyone with a brain; it’s merely a matter of time.

As for learning time?

Many places have stopped work, so evidently, there is plenty of time to learn now.

As for those trying to cause trouble, Zheng Yichen let Lilith handle them with precision strikes. This cultivation method is specialized for foundation-building and doesn’t significantly improve strength and speed after its effects are seen.

There will be some improvement, but it will not exceed the current limits of ordinary people, and the biggest improvements are in physical strength and reaction speed.

Since it’s meant for quick effectiveness, it cannot enhance everything comprehensively, and also it doesn’t come with side effects, so if you want rapid improvement, something must be sacrificed.

By giving up extra enhancements in strength and speed and greatly boosting physical endurance and reaction speeds, these can better ensure an individual’s survival capabilities; hence, causing chaos with this alone is somewhat difficult.

The effectiveness of this method is clearly noted by Zheng Yichen; still, if people try to cause trouble, he definitely won’t be lenient.

However, the turmoil came quickly and went quickly as well; the next day, once people confirmed the utility of this method, the internet calmed down significantly, including those who tried to stir trouble online.

One by one, all were dealt with by Lilith. Super artificial intelligence in Misty City World is essentially a dimension crushing form of attack.

Hackers attempting to cause disturbances couldn’t even figure out what was happening before their identities were fully exposed.

The world’s order isn’t in total collapse yet; although aberrant creatures and other monsters bring heavy pressure, official departments can still operate normally.

Those whose identities were exposed have no chance of escaping.

Also, due to such exposures, those still hiding developed a strong ’awe’ online, and as for the unnamed cultivation method, many have tried it.

Everyone is not foolish; so many monsters have already appeared, and now there’s a chance to enhance further, why not seize it instead of regretting it later when things go awry?

As for those who didn’t believe, a few days later, after the officials released a new announcement, these people began to hurry and cultivate, regretting but unable to do anything but try to catch up quickly.

Those who tried the method in the previous days can now easily run several kilometers; the record of ordinary people doing pull-ups has been shattered beyond recognition, anyone who practiced this body tempering method can break the record effortlessly.

Those with poorer physiques might struggle, but for those in good condition, it is really easy.

Certainly, official departments have also noticed that this body tempering method doesn’t significantly enhance strength and speed; improvements are mainly in physical energy and reaction speed.

Moreover, since this couldn’t be controlled, they simply issued an announcement to openly practice it.

Significantly increasing physical stamina, no matter how much you exert, that’s pretty much it; not opening up the practice, just trying to uplift the public’s standards, else wait a bit and even wheat might start biting.

"This is the already made ’Holy Domain’ test version, how do you find it?" Lillian is waving the flag taller than her, Zheng Yichen looked at the device, a curl of the flag could jab a person to death.

As for the effects.

As mentioned before, through the natural coordination ability inherent in the World Tree branches, it directly influences the environment elimination aberrant factors.

This is the primary aspect; the secondary part is that through Blessing Magic, those encountering aberrant creatures receive favorable boosts such as luck, but only within the range of the flag’s influence.

The part about Curse magic is aimed at Aberrant creatures.

The effect of the Natural defense has not been tested yet, will try it later.

"Hmm... let’s just stick this in the yard for now." Zheng Yichen nodded, took the flag, and decided to test its effect first.

Though this item is a prototype, it can easily cover several kilometers.

As for the name ’Holy Domain,’ the area covered by branches of the World Tree can indeed be considered as ’Holy Domain.’

When the flag was planted, a pale green Light Shield spread out, and at the same time, Lilith initiated simultaneous detection, pulling up over a dozen projection screens, showing Zheng Yichen the information he wanted to see.

Hidden underground in the distance, the Aberrant creatures felt intense suppression and struggled to emerge from below the ground.

Some of the weaker ones began to emit abnormal black smoke, while not completely dead, they drooped significantly, visibly losing their normal strength.

"Their bodies have become fragile, even a pistol that couldn’t break their defense can now penetrate their skin." Lilith relayed the results of her detection to Zheng Yichen.

Even stronger Aberrant creatures were affected, though due to those creatures’ strength, the impact was slightly less. However, they could now be threatened by conventional heat weapons.

"What about the Natural defense?" Lillian said on the side.

"I’ll give it a try." Zheng Yichen pressed his hand on the flag, and near several drooping large rats, several medium-sized ’grass figures’ emerged, which were formed from roadside weeds and souls forcibly conscripted through necromantic skill.

The combat capability of the grass figures was not strong, but they were sufficient to take care of these suppressed large rats.

As for the forcibly conscripted souls, after completing their task, sending them to reincarnation would suffice. As the environmental grade rises, Eileena’s necromantic skills could also result in a reciprocal arrangement.

"Not bad, this thing is quite useful," Zheng Yichen said contentedly. The flag showed impressive effects, and not only that, when planted in the ground like a tree, it could continuously regain strength through its connection with the earth.

"Shall we proceed with this design then?"

"Let’s do it this way, it’s just supposed to be supportive, I’ll head to Dusk." Zheng Yichen pulled out the flag, preparing to go to Dusk.

All materials were ready and the design was in place, so the priority was to get the products made quickly.

Having arrived in Dusk, Zheng Yichen took out the prepared raw materials, along with the design blueprints; the completed Holy Domain flag even had a corresponding connection port, which was meant to link with an artificial intelligence like Lilith.

For Lilith, seen by Lillian and Nelliwey, she’s equivalent to a high-end tower spirit. With such a connection port, the operation of the Holy Domain flag could be truly enacted.

Otherwise, the functionality of this item would be hard to fully exploit.

For instance, the Natural defense feature, without an active tower spirit, someone would need to take control for it to function.

Although the two Holy Maidens had made other designs, such as authorization, within the scope of authorization, authorized individuals can attempt to summon Natural defenses.

Lillian had experience with the construction of magic towers, so her design was quite comprehensive. However, these features are ideally managed by a tower spirit to avoid passivity.

"How much money?"

"5 merit points, 200 million." Tia directly presented a figure to Zheng Yichen. Money wasn’t an issue; he had reserved a large amount of precious metals in his private room, which could be converted as needed.

In terms of merit points, Zheng Yichen couldn’t help but smacked his lips, feeling it quite expensive, especially since he provided a complete design blueprint.

Upon further inquiry, if he only asked for the item to be made as per specified requirements, then the production cost would increase eightfold.

The materials provided by Zheng Yichen were indisputable—primeval branches and leaves of the World Tree, was this price considered reasonable?

"How much of a performance gap is there between us manufacturing it ourselves and your production?" Zheng Yichen asked while handing over the materials to Tia.

"Four times the difference," Tia responded calmly with a number.

This made Zheng Yichen feel not at a loss anymore. A fourfold difference suggested that using Dusk’s theoretical maximal Creation capability, only 25% of the primeval branches and leaves’ potential of the World Tree could be tapped even if Lillian and her team worked together?

"What about with precision enhancement?" Zheng Yichen took out the small Holy Domain flag made by Lillian and her companions.

"Add fifty million," Tia glanced and said, noting that this did not require merit points.

Lillian and her team couldn’t effectively handle the primeval tree branches, but they could process ordinary branches and leaves, which was only 21% short of the theoretical maximum value—just needed the money.

"Then just handle it all together," Zheng Yichen decided straightforwardly. The small Holy Domain flags could also be used in other areas, so they might as well be kept as spares.

The large one would be planted in his home yard later!
