HPDBC Chapter 20 still has spoils to share!
Chapter 20 still has spoils to share!
Being stared at by so many national treasures with eyes that looked at him like he was a god, Chen You felt his scalp tingle and was under immense pressure.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something passionate and inspiring.
But the reality is...
"I...I don't know how to teach." Chen You's cheeks were a little hot, and he scratched his head awkwardly.
He met the expectant gazes of Li Guoan and the group of experts and spoke the truth.
"I was able to change my profession to a cultivator because the game system detected Chinese civilization."
"The reason I was able to go directly from an ordinary person to the first level of Qi Refining is because... because I ate a pill."
"Pills?" Li Guoan raised an eyebrow.
"Yes, it's called the Creation Pill," Chen You explained in detail.
"It was in that 98 million gift pack. The cultivation technique was the same; the game taught me it directly, just like installing software on a computer—'beep,' and I knew how."
"I don't know exactly how to get started or how to guide the Qi into the body."
These candid words instantly cooled down the frenzied atmosphere in the meeting room.
The ecstasy on everyone's faces faded, replaced by deep thought and a hint of barely concealed disappointment.
It turned out to be the case.
This path to the extraordinary is not a smooth road that everyone can walk.
It's more like a door that requires a special "key" to open.
Currently, the only key lies in the magical items within the "Origin Realm".
The only person who can find the key is Chen You.
At this moment, Chen You's value was elevated once again.
"However, I think that in the subsequent cultivation, we should be able to discover some methods to be taught."
Chen You added.
Based on his understanding of the cultivation system, he felt that this was clearly not a sect limited to a single person.
Whether it's a professor or some other introductory elixir, it certainly exists.
"I see."
Li Guoan's reaction surprised everyone; he showed no disappointment, but instead became even calmer.
A completely new strategic blueprint has already been sketched out in his deep eyes.
He stood up, surveyed the entire room, and made a decisive summary.
"From now on, the 'Pay-to-Win' project team will enter the second phase. All plans will be readjusted and will revolve around three core objectives."
His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an unquestionable authority.
"First!"
Li Guoan's gaze fell on Zhang Yunhai, the tactical team leader.
"The intensive training program targeting Comrade Chen You shall commence immediately! Begin tonight!"
"Huh?" Chen You was so surprised he almost jumped up.
Tonight? I just barely escaped death in a game!
Li Guoan ignored Chen You's protest; his logic was clear and cold.
"Every near-death experience you have in the game will have a real-world impact on your body and mind. You must have the physical strength and willpower to withstand it all."
"We cannot place all our hopes on the [Substitute Talisman]. Your body is the foundation upon which all strategic value rests; it cannot be lost."
Zhang Yunhai stood up abruptly, feet together, giving a standard military salute.
"Mission accomplished!"
Chen You felt a chill run down his spine as he looked at the cold, hard lines on the officer's face.
He had a premonition that his days ahead would be even more miserable than fighting monsters in a game.
"Second!" Li Guoan raised his second finger, this time looking at Chen You.
"Your primary task in the game has changed."
"From now on, collecting equipment, weapons, and materials will take a back seat."
"Your core objective is to acquire elixirs similar to the [Creation Pill], as well as cultivation techniques and rare treasures that can directly enhance your cultivation level, by doing everything possible and at any cost!"
"We need to verify whether these 'keys' are equally effective for others!"
Li Guoan's ambition was laid bare at this moment.
What he wanted was not a superhero.
What he wanted was a brand new era where everyone could be extraordinary!
Chen You's heart skipped a beat.
If it were truly possible to lead others onto the path of cultivation... then the future of China would be unimaginable.
"third!"
Li Guoan moved to the data analysis group and the tactics group.
"Develop a plan for Comrade Chen You to reach level 10 as quickly as possible. Then, focus all your energy on improving his cultivation level."
Sun Feng, the data analysis team leader, nodded.
"That's right," Zhang Yunhai interjected first. "Reaching level 10 is the minimum requirement to unlock the guild system and dungeon functions."
"In the game, adding a single friend without proper authorization carries a high risk of not being able to obtain genuine information and revealing one's identity."
"But guilds are different. They are huge information hubs."
"Chen You can infiltrate inside without actively exposing himself, and learn more about the deeper rules and secrets of the 'Source Realm' by observing the chat of other high-level players."
"And dungeons, according to the standard mechanics of all games, will always be the biggest source of rare resources and equipment!"
"The elixir we need might very well be right there!"
After listening, Li Guoan nodded in satisfaction.
"That's it, all departments cooperate fully. We must turn Chen You into a god before the 30-day newbie protection period ends!"
The atmosphere in the meeting room was reignited.
Everyone was thrilled by the grand and clear plan, and everyone knew exactly what a great cause they were about to participate in.
Only Chen You felt as if a mountain was pressing down on his shoulders.
One minute I'm rushing to level up, the next I'm working on pills, and then I get to be trained by special forces when I get back... Is there any hope left in this world?
Just then, Li Guoan seemed to remember something and added a sentence.
"In addition, the project team needs to be expanded. We need to contact the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences and invite our country's top linguists and sociology experts to join us."
"We need someone who can analyze the language systems, social structures, and behavioral patterns of the different civilizations in the 'Source World'."
He paused for a moment, then finally gave the order.
"Meeting adjourned, everyone..."
"Chief, wait!"
Chen You hurriedly spoke.
"The equipment given by that vengeful spirit general!"
"I don't need it in the game, but I can use it for research first."
As soon as he finished speaking, under everyone's astonished gaze, a slight ripple appeared in the space above Chen You's outstretched palm.
"Whoosh!"
A menacing battle blade, emanating a faint black aura, appeared out of thin air and landed on the conference table with a muffled clang.
Immediately afterwards, a black suit of armor covered in cracks and marks from being cleaved and chiseled appeared and slammed heavily beside the sword.
【Wraith Blade】(Rare)
【Torn General's Armor】(Rare)
Two pieces of rare equipment lay there silently; their very existence was a blatant provocation against the laws of physics.
"There's another military token," Chen You said, and then tried to retrieve the quest item.
But he quickly frowned.
"No, we can't get this military tally out." He shook his head at everyone.
"It's probably because it's a quest item, so it can't be taken out of the game."
This is the most reasonable explanation Chen You could think of.
No one paid much attention to this discovery; everyone's attention was completely drawn to the two pieces of equipment on the table.
Especially materials scientist Qian Zhonghua.
He practically lunged at the conference table, his gloved hands trembling as he carefully stroked the black battle sword.
His expression was more like that of someone who had seen long-lost relatives than someone who had seen research materials.
"My God...this...this texture..."
Qian Zhonghua's breathing became rapid. He adjusted his reading glasses and leaned even closer, his whole body almost pressed against the knife.
"A perfect damping structure, an unbelievable energy conduction path... this black mist is not decoration, it is... a living energy field!"
He then turned to the tattered armor.
"And this! Its material density is at least thirty times that of titanium alloy, yet it's incredibly lightweight!"
"These cracks are not simply physical damage; they contain traces of high-intensity energy erosion!"
Qian Zhonghua was so excited that he was incoherent. He suddenly raised his head, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Li Guoan, his voice trembling.
"Director Li! Give them to me! Give them all to me! I promise, just one month! No! Half a month!"
"I can improve the performance of our individual soldier exoskeleton armor by at least three generations! Our fighter jet skin technology will directly enter a new era!"
This national treasure-level materials science expert was as excited as a child begging for candy.
Everyone in the conference room was infected by his enthusiasm.
They may not understand the technical jargon, but they all understood the weight of the last sentence.
That was a leap forward in technology!
