Chapter 137: Laws of Nature Origin Crystals, Gods-Slaying Bloodline

Pick up dropped items from other existential planes at random?

“System, what does ‘other existential planes’ mean?” asked a puzzled Meng Lei.

The system explained, “To answer the host, there are countless dimensional planes of existence in the vast and boundless universe. They are like quicksand and stars, scattered in all corners of the universe. Heaven’s Vault Continent is only a very ordinary material plane among them!”

“Countless dimensional planes of existence? I see, that’s understandable.” Meng Lei nodded quietly. “In other words, the Limitless Pickup function can pick up objects from other planes and dimensions?”

“Yes, host!” replied the system definitively.

Meng Lei’s spirits were all roused up now. “It can actually also pick up things from other planes… What a crazy function! What does the 10 billion gold coins at the end mean, though? You’re charging for it?”

“Dear host, Limitless Pickup is a chargeable function. The price for using it is 10 billion gold coins each time!”

“10 billion gold coins per usage! That’s daylight robbery!”

Meng Lei almost jumped off his seat.

10 billion gold coins were no small amount. It meant that he had to kill a Saint Domain Magical Beast, such as the Underground Cave Magical Spider Emperor, so that he would have enough to use it even once.

What kind of sh*tty function was that? Wasn’t that a little too expensive!?

“I only have 13.4 billion gold coins left at the moment. I need only to use it once, and I’ll return to being a pauper?”

F*ck! What a scam!

A corner of Meng Lei’s lips was spasming as he barked furiously, “You sh*tty system, that’s so corrupt of you! Even if I starve to death or die out there, I’ll never use this function! 10 billion per use? You’re not getting even a single cent from me!”

“Ding! A friendly reminder: Among the countless dimensional planes exist innumerable planes and worlds of a higher level than Heaven’s Vault Continent! Inside these higher-level planes and worlds are innumerable advanced lifeforms that far surpass the Saint Domain. By using said function, the host has a certain probability of picking up dropped items from these advanced lifeforms!”

(⊙o⊙)

Meng Lei was stunned.

Higher-level planes and worlds? Advanced lifeforms that far surpass the Saint Domain?

“Higher-level… Far surpass…”

Meng Lei licked his lips. Even though he was very reluctant to admit it, he had to say it—he was indeed tempted.

Based on the trend in the past, the stronger the lifeform, the more precious and valuable the items they dropped were.

Didn’t everyone see? Even a strand of leg hair that a Saint Domain dropped could contain Laws of Nature fragment within.

In that case, what kind of things would powerful lifeforms that far surpassed the Saint Domain drop?

Just the thought of it alone was terribly tempting.

Meng Lei’s eyes swiveled a little, and then he gave a couple of dry coughs and asked, “System, what about Brutal Plunder? What can this function do?”

“Brutal Plunder: An unconventional pickup function! It can forcibly pick up any object on the target lifeform, including but not limited to Wealth, Bloodlines, Vitality, Spiritual Power, Laws of Nature Comprehension, Divine Weapons…”

“What the heck? This is such a crazy function, too!”

Meng Lei took a deep breath and remarked, “Picking up by force? Isn’t that just plundering? But hehe, I like it.

“System, is this function chargeable?”

The system replied coldly, “Brutal Plunder is also a chargeable function. The usage fee for this function is determined according to how strong the target of plunder is, as well as the value of the object to be plundered!”

“So, it depends on how strong the target of plunder is and how valuable the object to be plundered is…”

Meng Lei nodded lightly. “It does sound relatively more reasonable. But going by this sh*tty system’s unscrupulous and ruthless nature, if I do encounter something that I really want to plunder, it probably wouldn’t be cheap, either.

“Forget it. We’ll leave this for now.” Meng Lei shook his head. “System, call up the stats interface for me to take a look.”

Whoosh!

Host: Meng Lei

Race: Human (Fire Dragon bloodline <50%>, Fire Demon bloodline <45%>, Golden Gods-Slaying Ant bloodline <10%>)

Wealth: 1.35 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals

Physical Body Constitution: Saint Domain (1,069,879,108/100 billion)

Spirit: Ninth-Grade Magician (1,388,760/1,000,000,000)

Magic Power: Ninth-Grade Magician (968,678/1,000,000,000)

Laws of Nature: Fire-elemental (0.2%)

“The interface has undergone a pretty big change, hasn’t it?”

Meng Lei checked out the stats interface, finding it very new and novel. At the same time, several questions also popped up in his mind.

“System, what do the percentage counts after each of the three bloodlines mean?”

“They represent the degree of assimilation in the host’s body!”

“Degree of assimilation? I see. Does the appearance of these numbers mean that I can also raise the degree of assimilation by redeeming credit in the future?”

“Yes, host!”

“I see, so that’s how it is.

“Tsk, tsk. 50%, 45%, 10%… Eh? Is the Golden Gods-Slaying Ant bloodline’s degree of assimilation that low? It’s only 10%. Looks like there’s still a lot of room for further development for this bloodline.”

Meng Lei continued browsing down the interface.

Wealth: 1.35… Laws of Nature Origin Crystals?

“System, wasn’t the measurement unit for Wealth gold coins? Why has it changed to Laws of Nature Origin Crystals?”

“Laws of Nature Origin Crystals—a type of rare crystal that contains laws of nature within, and also the currency in circulation among Saint Domains!

“Exchange ratio: 1 Laws of Nature Origin Crystal = 10 billion gold coins!”

“Oh, I see. It’s similar to the ratio used when elevating my laws of nature comprehension via credit redemption. It also requires 10 billion gold coins to elevate it by 1%.”

He continued reading downward…

Physical Body Constitution…

“What the hell! 100 billion? The Saint Domain upper limit is actually 100 billion points!

“What a scam! Doesn’t that mean that if I rely solely on credit redemption to break through to the cultivation realms above Saint Domain, I would need to save up… 1 trillion gold coins?

“One trillion gold coins… I’m gonna faint! Where am I going to get that kind of money?!”

Meng Lei felt a pressing urge to curse and swear.

A few dozen billion gold coins weren’t that out of reach; by killing a few Saint Domain Magical Beasts, he would be able to more or less put together that amount of money. But one trillion gold coins… That equated to 100 Saint Domain Magical Beasts!

Where was he supposed to find that many Saint Domain Magical Beasts to hunt and kill?

“A long road ahead… There’s a long road ahead!”

Meng Lei felt immense pressure at once.

“Improving the degree of assimilation for bloodlines requires money.

“Enhancing my Physical Body Constitution, Spiritual Power, and Magic Power also requires money.

“Improving the degree of comprehension for laws of nature requires money, too.

“Money, money, money! How much do I only have, currently?”

Meng Lei’s gaze swept across the Wealth attribute—he only had 1.35 Laws of Nature Origin Crystals now. In other words, 13.5 billion gold coins. What could this bit of money achieve?

It wasn’t enough!

It was far, far from being enough!

It wasn’t enough to do anything at all!

“This is the first time I’ve realized that I’m actually that poor. But…”

Meng Lei flipped himself off the bed. A shrewd glint flickered in his eyes. “10 billion gold coins is enough for me to use Limitless Pickup once, though.”

As the saying went, “Curiosity killed the cat.”

That was exactly Meng Lei’s current situation.

Even though he knew that Limitless Pickup only picked up things at random and that with so many planes and worlds out there, whether or not it could pick up anything good or useful was hard to say, he really wanted to give it a go.

Higher-level planes and worlds!

Lifeforms that far surpassed the Saint Domains!

What if… What if he picked up a treasure?

“How about… I give it a go?”

Meng Lei’s breathing was rather quick. Then, he suddenly gnashed his teeth and barked, “System, I want to use the Limitless Pickup function!”

The system asked coldly, “1 Laws of Nature Origin Crystal will be charged for the usage of this function. May I know if you’d like to use it?”

“Yes!”

Whoosh!

His Wealth instantly decreased by 1 Laws of Nature Origin Crystal, leaving him only 0.35 Laws of Nature Origin Crystal now.

“I’ve totally become a pauper now.”

Meng Lei clenched his fists as he stared at his Wealth attribute that had only a fraction remaining now. Then, nervous anticipation began to fill him.

“Good stuff! You must pick up something good! If you pick up a piece of trash, I’ll suffer a huge loss!”

“Ding! Congratulations to the host. You’ve obtained the Gods-Slaying Rat bloodline. Will you assimilate it?”

(⊙_⊙)

“The Gods-Slaying Rat bloodline!?”
