Chapter 542: Core of Ability, Appear!
"Extra, extra! The Treasure Hunting Team has discovered a frozen indigenous intelligent life!"
"Breaking news, in this icy world, there seems to be a considerable number of intelligent civilizations... the tenacity of life has once again been proven!"
On a sunny day, with temperatures significantly rising, preparations for the awakening of the population officially began.
The happiest ones on this day were actually the journalists, who, after decades, finally dug up another major story.
Journalists were practically frantic, eager to photograph the indigenous people.
"I'm Lu Hong, a reporter for the Green Daily, I have a few questions: How advanced is the technology of the indigenous civilization?"
"Are they stronger than us, given they've survived here?"
"What do they look like? How many races are there?"
"Everyone, please do not be anxious." Old Cat said solemnly, "According to Commander Lu's investigation, we have indeed encountered indigenous beings. Theoretically, these races are not very strong... but the specifics await further investigation."
"For detailed news interviews, please wait for the formal establishment of diplomatic relations. Do not release false information."
"Of course, releasing some simple news is not harmful."
This matter was quickly recognized by everyone in Green Grass City... In the collective mind, the existence of exotic realm civilizations is reassuring!
At least, it's unlikely for a [Ghost]-level disaster to suddenly appear!
To be honest, the disasters that Green Grass City faced on this journey were overwhelmingly excessive.
There was a constant parade of demons and ghosts, who could endure such things?
Now, finally, a normal and possibly weaker civilization has appeared, allowing us to finally take a breath.
...
Meanwhile, the military of Green Grass City did not dare to slack, deploying hundreds of large drones to expand the reconnaissance range.
In fairly clear weather, within just three days, Green Grass City located several surrounding cities.
However, they didn't disturb too much, as the drones only took some photos before returning.
The military representatives studied these materials carefully.
"They really are human species... In total, we located 4 human cities, 2 lizard cities, with the possibility that there are other undetected civilizations further away."
"The technological strength generally falls within the first-level civilization range, seemingly from the Steam Era, with some engraving technology. They all rely on vast geothermal energy for living..."
"Because the weather is too cold, industrial development is difficult... But given the number of cities, there might still be some industrial products in circulation."
"Provide our guests with better rooms."
Jin Dongliang, Guo Dafeng, and other military officials were eager, anticipating the awakening of those who were comatose.
...
On the other side, Lu Yuan fell into a strange dream state.
With a clear understanding of the direction forward, he was like an old farmer, patiently searching for the strongest seeds in the field, allowing this seed to bloom into a magnificent flower, and further grow into exquisite fruit.
Indeed, the "Core of Ability" is like a fruit, naturally growing.
A wonderful feeling continued to unfold.
In an extremely brief moment, the once familiar flesh retreated behind the scenes, and a brand new "self" came to the forefront.
The flow of blood and circulation of energy, like tides, touched the surrounding world, extracting unimaginably complex information from all things, feeding it back into Lu Yuan's mind.
The essence of the field is the external divergence of ideal rules, forming an occupation effect on the spatial level.
Even though Lu Yuan had tailored fields for many, creating one that suited himself was truly difficult.
At this moment, he finally succeeded!
[Field·Greed.]
[The Greedy Demon God always believed that the more abilities one had, the better, and the stronger, the better. In his quest to explore the essence of superpowers, he devised many methods and meticulously developed the greed field.]
[Function: Within the greed field, using any extraordinary ability could lead the Greedy Demon God to discover the corresponding "Idealist Rule Imprint."]
[Once a certain level of perception is reached, one can covertly copy an extraordinary ability by spending only a small amount of luck.]
Yes, this field is functional, exceedingly powerful in function—finding imprints!
The underlying principle is complex, combining the Explorer's Eye and Pioneer's Eye divine skills, while also using the "Entropy Element" to explore the corresponding fluctuations of ideal rules,
including a Z-element that harmonizes elemental contradictions (similar to the Little Mirage Dragon), a Y-element that enhances idealistic activity, and a more versatile yet more expensive Z-element.
The combination of these three entropy elements gave birth to the [Greed] field.
Of course, everything has its limits, and even if the rule imprint is found, copying it still requires a significant cost.
Abilities of the caliber of "Control," "Spirit Word," "Steel" might require an enormous amount of time and vast "luck" to replicate a version.
Additionally, the "Greedy Demon God" itself has a capacity limit, becoming full of soul once that limit is reached.
So Lu Yuan still has to plan carefully, not cramming everything onto himself—besides, he hasn't arranged abilities for himself in a long, long time. If he really needs to, he should prioritize arranging [Hurricane] and then find a way to fuse [Powerful Wind].
"In theory, fusing [Powerful Wind] should only take a minute... but I can't just do that."
"If only I could create an ability similar to [Powerful Wind]."
