"Lovely Kris-chan, since you took the initiative to propose this matter and are willing to share your magical crystallization with me, then your plan to privately restore your own power failed regrettably?"
Lu Pingan said a question in a declarative tone.
Then, he was surprised to see the big cat's hair explode!
Such a big cat can actually explode its fur! Super furry! Want to masturbate!
But the next moment, she transformed into a beautiful girl in human form to hide her uneasiness...
"Tsk."
Lu Pingan sighed in disappointment, but "not forcing the other party to change his form" was also a part of improving the relationship between the two parties. After hesitating for a moment, he gave up the urge to use force to stroke the big cat.
But the big cat in human form just thought about it for a moment and figured out the whole story.
"...Life Bank? Directly parsed the icon?"
"Yeah, that's right."
"When... wait, you only came into contact with the holy icon that day, and then you kept it with me. You knew at that time that this was the crystallization of my power? Then how could you let me touch the holy statue?! "
That's right, Lu Ping'an knew on the first day that this thing was the crystallization of Chris's magical power, and the system analyzed it the moment he touched it.
[The statue of Keldales (desecrated): The statue that contains the divine power of the 'Mother Tree Sacrifice' Keldales, which contains a trace of the crystallization of his divine power. 】
Hearing this, Lu Ping'an first smiled mockingly, then put on a rather arrogant and twitchy expression, and looked at the person with his chin.
"Of course it's to see how much fun you can have... Well, of course I'm giving you a chance. It's a pity, Kris-chan, you didn't use it even if I gave you the chance."
He didn’t reach out and put his hand on the cat’s head and reprimanded her “it’s not important to give you a chance”, probably because she was afraid of being bitten.
Is this really true? I'm afraid not necessarily.
At least Lu Pingping had observed the big cat's reaction that day. This might also be a test to see if the other party could turn over so easily.
But judging from the fact that the big cat can now have its hair standing on end, Lu Ping'an is getting better and better at taunting.
But Big Cat was not stupid. Although his face instantly darkened, he calmed down after taking two deep breaths.
"...Come here, let me tell you something. I am indeed 'dead', and it is true that the crystal of divine power cannot be absorbed, but the Life Bank can."
In a sense, Lu Ping An and Big Cat are two sides of the same coin, the starting point and the end point of a runway.
Her end point became Lu Ping'an's starting point. The two souls together formed the "Life Bank", which also meant that the crystallization of divine power that was originally exclusive to Chris could be easily absorbed by the Life Bank.
Why didn't you say it before? It was an exchange bargaining chip, so naturally I would not say it casually, but more importantly, it was...
"...Big Cat, you didn't tell me before because you were afraid that I would target another icon and cause trouble?"
"Yes. Do you dare to say you can't?"
The big cat faced him coldly, and his calm questions were in an affirmative tone.
"Haha, I'm not stupid, how could I seek death...well, unless that icon is really valuable?"
As he talked, Lu Pingan himself was not sure. He didn't even know what he would do when he got interested.
"Actually, it's just average. The relatively low-level one in the Sophist's hand was absorbed by the Life Bank. It should be in the range of three to four hundred life points."
Three or four hundred life points? Lu Ping'an was happy at first, then thought for a moment, and could only shake his head.
If it doesn't exceed a thousand, it won't mean much to him. It just adds a little ammunition.
And do I really lack ammunition? What I lack is rapid progress and a stable channel to obtain more life points.
The current situation is obvious. Based on life points, low-level gadgets are worthless at all. You must upgrade as soon as possible or take out high-level magic plants.
But he also heard other meanings hidden in Big Cat's words.
"So, there are other uses?"
"Yes, directly exchanging points is equivalent to melting antique coins into copper ingots, which is a kind of extravagant waste. As the owner of the holy statue and the crystal of divine power, I can cast it through the 'courtyard' to fuse it and use it as energy , used to directly improve the capabilities of the courtyard. For example, create a semi-finished garden, library, etc."
Big Cat had said this before, but when she mentioned that setting up the lowest level garden would cost 1,000 life points, Lu Ping'an didn't hesitate to "bother" her at that time.
"Just the garden and the library?"
"The gymnasium and the bank building are now just decorations. Are you sure you want to invest in them? Other facilities require more 'accumulation'. Even the garden and library can only be made into semi-finished products. If they can be made out, it is because you carry them with you. Contaminated by gardeners and scholars."
But this is actually quite an exaggeration. The "botanical garden" and "garden" of ordinary gardeners are just mundane environments constructed by technology or supernatural forces. How can they be compared with the "courtyard garden" with its own rules and supernatural environment.
"What if I could get another icon? Beauty is only for the strong. Treasures are mostly held by robbers. That one should be stronger."
As he became more and more familiar with the world, he felt like his essence was being revealed, or in other words, letting himself go?
The big cat also got used to and ignored Lu Pingan's nonsense when alone, and dealt with it skillfully.
"To describe it in terms of levels, this one is probably only level three or four, and that one is level four or five. I can help you open a facility. It should cost you one or two thousand if you sell it..."
"...I know! I will definitely find a way to win it."
"No, I just beg you not to mess around. I should still have some holy statues left in other worlds. We can look for them later. Don't look for that one..."
In the middle of joking...at least Lu Ping'an thought it was just in the middle of joking, and the business was quickly settled.
After thinking for a while, Lu Pingan decided to use the icon in front of him.
Although obtaining points is an opportunity to survive, it is better to increase revenue than to reduce expenditure. Life points are obviously quite high-end, and the current way to obtain them is almost zero.
"The knowledge module of the second-level magic plant can only be sold for one or two points... But what if it is a new magic plant of the fourth or fifth level? If the crystal of divine power can be exchanged for points, trading with the gods may also be a way to obtain points. A stable approach, but it’s still not too ‘stable’.”
If you make too much money from one-time transactions, it cannot be considered stable, and the cost of developing new magic plants will not be low, and you may even lose money.
If you really want to be stable, you have to look at leeks... Ahem, my dear children.
It's just that now he can only get some experience and inspiration.
"That small piece of paper about remote investment shows that the bank must have new functions. Accumulating users is one thing, but is it feasible to use job promotion to stimulate the growth of Life Bank?"
Many feasible or unfeasible methods are blocked by one's own "first level".
The sooner you improve your rank, the better. But if you want to steadily improve your main path as a gardener...
"Heh, there's really no choice. Let's build a 'garden'."
In response to the expected response, Kerdales slowly moved forward, gently pushed the "Lucky Cat" icon, and it floated in mid-air.
The next moment, with it as the core, it began to exude a faint brilliance.
The small garden did not undergo any qualitative changes, but everything around it was covered with a layer of light, as if it had a somewhat sacred flavor.
The gravel roads, fences covered with ivy, divided fields, and water pipes are all vaguely different.
And a small granite pedestal slowly rose up and connected the floating icon. It seemed that this was the control hub of this "garden".
Lu Ping'an's expression was a bit strange. Do you really like this, Big Cat?
"cough."
The big cat paid attention to Lu Ping'an's expression. With a wave of his hand, the twisted statue was corrected again. What appeared on it was the original posture of the statue, the holy beast sitting on the oak seat.
"...Are you sure that no one will come to our secret realm later?"
Just thinking about the bank hall and the empty gymnasium, Lu Ping'an knew that he would use them one day.
At that time, you are a cult of ZZZ level wanted criminals... The evil statue is placed here, is it not fun enough?
At this time, the big cat was not happy. She glared at Lu Ping'an fiercely, then gritted her teeth, and the statue changed again.
This time, she took on the appearance of a "blond haired animal-eared, spiral-curled, blue-eyed nun-type lady". Well, it was the human form of Kris-chan in front of her.
"In order to stably exert my divine power, it's best to lock my personal form. Is that okay?!"
The more he talked, the angrier he became, probably like this.
Lu Ping'an nodded silently. The big cat was so good today, so it would be better not to provoke her.
"...Actually, I prefer the previous Lucky Cat."
"Get out of here!"
