Gray walked out of the house with a hopeless expression and headed towards the edge of the underground city.
It was easy to go to the surface, but basking in the sun was too extravagant.
On the way, Lan Mu heard Gray's words and realized that in this society, the sun was owned by the government …
If you wanted to bask in the sun, you had to pay a tax.
Luckily, Gray still had some money left, enough to bask in the sun for a few days.
But this meant that Gray's last savings would be squandered by Lan Mu.
Just as he was about to reach the elevator, his expression suddenly changed and he stared at a member of the opposite sex.
If Lan Mu could not read Gray's inner thoughts, he would not be able to tell that it was a member of the opposite sex.
This race was too ugly for humans, and the difference between the opposite sex was only in certain details.
Reading Gray's inner thoughts, Lan Mu said coldly, "You like her?"
"Ah … I want to mate with her and reproduce. I love her very much, and she is the most likely friend to agree with me." Gray said.
"Friend … friend."
"Yes, we are very good friends. If I propose marriage, she probably won't refuse …"
As the two were communicating, the member of the opposite sex also noticed him.
Lan Mu gave Gray some time to chat, but Gray was very unaware and kept talking to the member of the opposite sex.
"Looks like I've been too kind to you." Lan Mu's cold voice sounded.
Gray's expression was pained, and his heart was extremely frightened. The sharp pain in his nerves was greatly magnified, causing him to instantly fall to the ground.
"What's wrong, Gray?" The other party asked with concern.
Gray stood up with his aching body and squeezed out a smile. "Nothing, I'm leaving."
Saying so, he was about to leave.
But at this time, the member of the opposite sex said, "You said last time that you wanted me to go to your house …"
Gray's whole body trembled.
The member of the opposite sex said, "I agree. Today, I will sell my house and go to your house."
Gray suddenly turned to look at her and saw her serious expression. He was instantly excited.
Lan Mu could sense that Gray's various body indicators were fluctuating, which was a sign of wild joy.
"Reject her, Gray."
Lan Mu's cold voice was like a basin of liquid nitrogen being poured over his heart, causing his hair to turn cold …
"Don't do this … I'm begging you … I'm begging you … I'm begging you …" Gray begged frantically in his heart.
"She can't live with you. This is for her own good!" Lan Mu said very seriously.
Gray said excitedly, "Don't you know? She agreed to my request! She will live with me forever. For existences like us who have nothing, the future will no longer be lonely. She will become the most precious treasure in each other's lives. Do you understand? Can you please understand? "
"…"
"Please! I beg you, no matter what you ask me to do, I will agree. Please don't make me push her away. She is very important to me, very, very important! "
Gray's emotional fluctuations were extremely intense. This was the strongest willpower Lan Mu had ever felt from him.
This willpower seriously affected Lan Mu's control over this body. Lan Mu realized that if he forced the other party to reject him, Gray would become even more uncontrollable in the future. Sometimes, it was not a good idea to blindly force someone. It might be more effective to mobilize the other party's subjective initiative.
"Is mating that important?"
Gray said, "You don't understand. There are too many individuals like me, and they are too lowly. I have nothing. The only value of my existence is to provide my intelligence to the country. Even if I die, no one in this world will remember me. Even if technology improves after my death, breaking out of the star system, obtaining endless resources, and returning to the era of final production, it will have nothing to do with me. No one will remember that I once contributed my brain in this difficult era. "
"It's not as simple as mating. I don't even care about my lowly life. A person who remembers me is more important than anything."
"…"
Lan Mu was silent. Gray was extremely nervous. He knew that he actually did not have the right to resist Lan Mu.
"I beg you, please show me some mercy. I'm willing to pay any price." Gray saw that the person he loved was already very confused and did not understand, so he hurriedly made a final effort.
Finally, Lan Mu said, "Tell her, I'll come find you after 40 crowns." He was talking about local time. Converted to Earth time, it was four days.
Four days later, the forced period would end.
"That's great! I will! I'll do anything. As long as I'm not discovered, I don't care even if I have to betray the entire civilization. "Gray said happily.
"Tsk!"
…
After dismissing this guy's love, Lan Mu very clearly discovered that his mental outlook had changed.
It was a kind of love for life, a temperament that came from possessing hope.
He no longer rejected Lan Mu's orders, nor was he perfunctory. Instead, he took the initiative to treat it as his own matter, truly displaying the abilities that he should have as an intelligent life form.
Lan Mu told him that as long as everything passed safely, he would leave in four days.
This caused Gray to do his best to serve Lan Mu. All of his previous thoughts were gone. As for the harm that Lan Mu would cause to his own civilization, he did not care at all. That was not something that a small character like him should consider. He only wanted to have a home in four days.
On the surface of the planet, there were solar receivers everywhere. The country would not let go of any opportunity to obtain energy.
The plan to exhaust all of the country's resources to create a Dyson sphere had failed, causing the crisis to become even more serious.
Imagine a planet where even hydrogen atoms were scarce. It was obvious that they were approaching a dead end.
Of course, because there was still hope for the cloud brain plan, there was a large amount of stored energy, waiting for the day of a technological breakthrough.
As for using this energy to try their luck at the sun and extract some nuclear fusion fuel, they no longer dared to do so.
Sulfur-based creatures came and went like ghosts. Once the last of the stored energy was wasted, there would be no more energy to achieve technological breakthroughs in the future. That would be true despair.
Gray paid some money and got a small area to bask in the sun.
The person in charge here was a machine. Of course, it would not suspect why he did not bring a solar receiver. It must be known that a poor person like him who came to bask in the sun must have done so for solar energy.
"There are 20 sundays here, which is equivalent to two days on Earth. It seems that I have to seize every second."
The rotation of this planet was much slower than that of Earth. One day was equivalent to three days on Earth. Of course, the time was the same. The only difference was the calendar.
Lan Mu decisively controlled Gray's body. He sat on the ground and faced the sun. The immortal level primordial spirit easily began to cultivate with irresistible force.
He had studied this body and picked a decent demonic cultivation method.
"Aliens … I'll just consider them demons."
As for human techniques, he did not even think about it. He could not cultivate them at all. There were no meridians or acupoints. Dantian and sea of Qi were even more nonsensical.
Fortunately, demon techniques were possible. Among the demons, there were even stones that cultivated into spirits, not to mention extraterrestrial carbon-based creatures.
Of course, stones, clouds, and lampshades that cultivated into demons had to be spiritual objects. They had to be washed by spiritual energy over a long period of time or enlightened by an expert to give birth to spiritual intelligence.
Gray's body was barely qualified to be a small demon. The main reason was that he had spiritual intelligence. It did not matter whether he had been nourished by spiritual energy or not.
However, his aptitude was very poor. Fortunately, Lan Mu was a strange existence who had become an immortal four or five times. He crossed all kinds of realms as easily as eating and drinking water. There was no bottleneck at all.
His soul was the main body. He borrowed Gray's body to cultivate and barely ignored the low aptitude.
Gray's physical fitness was strong enough. He absorbed the sun essence and combined it with his body to produce magical power. This was also a kind of energy, a kind of biological energy that was rarely discovered in technological civilizations.
Unfortunately, there was no spiritual energy. Even Lan Mu's immortal primordial spirit could not carry it …
"I'm shocked. How did you do it? I really feel energy in my body. You transformed me into a solar receiver? "Gray said in surprise.
"Your body is really trash … At this speed, you need 20 suns to reach Foundation Establishment. No … It should be Transformation. But after 10 suns, you have to stop, "Lan Mu said.
Gray felt that the energy in his body was increasing very quickly. He said excitedly, "Although it's not as good as fusion energy, it's almost like making something out of nothing with just sunlight! Why do I have to stop? "
"Idiot! Do you really think sunlight is enough? Magical power needs spiritual energy or nutrients in the body to synthesize and refine. There is no spiritual energy here, so every second I cultivate is consuming the elements in your cells. If you don't eat enough nutritious food, you will refine yourself to death, "Lan Mu said.
Gray obviously did not want to die, so he said anxiously, "Then what do I do? I have no money … "
"Magical power is a very practical thing. With the technological achievements of your civilization, any adaptor matched with a house can accept this kind of energy. I don't know how efficient it is, but the magical power I refine in one sun is enough for your house to consume 30 suns," Lan Mu said.
30 suns was one day here. Gray calculated silently. He had to pay at least 50,000 Snoops a day for energy. That is to say, one sun here would refine 50,000 worth of energy.
Gray's daily security fund was 100,000. After deducting the energy and food costs, there was not much left. Although the energy cost was so expensive because of the factor of deliberately exploiting the proles, the market price was like this. As long as the price was lowered and sold to the same proles, it would definitely be a huge profit.
Now that he had this method, he did not have to worry about energy anymore.
He was rejoicing, but Lan Mu reprimanded, "Idiot, didn't you realize that the toxins on the surface are ineffective against you?"
"Huh? That's right! " Gray just remembered that the nitrates in his body were all removed. Why did he breathe freely and feel no pain?
Lan Mu said, "I said that magical power has too many uses. Just a little bit can purify the air. This is just a very simple little spell."
"In addition, medical disinfection, purification, strengthening the body, and influencing natural phenomena are all very easy. Even if combined with spells, the effect will be even more limited. Calling the wind and summoning the rain, lightning and thunder, transformation and camouflage is all possible!"
Gray suddenly said in horror, "Wait … If that's the case, I definitely can't sell it. Otherwise, the military will definitely find me."
As a prole, if he sold this kind of high-value commercial item, it would be too eye-catching.
Lan Mu said indifferently, "Of course I know. You sell a small amount first, then buy a large amount of super nutritious ingredients. At least four tons. When you have enough nutrients, we will rent a larger area with light. I will expand your body as big as possible. This will speed up your training. "
"As long as you reach the transformation stage, you can become anyone. It's a real transformation, not a disguise. This way, I can let you mix into the upper class …"
Gray said shakily, "Upper class? I … can't, I'll be exposed. "
"There's no room for discussion. I have a reason to enter the ruling class," Lan Mu said coldly.
Gray was now more afraid of death than anyone, but he had no right to refute Lan Mu.
"I know, I have a way to sell this energy. As long as the price is cheap, I know a lot of people who are willing to buy it. And they won't tell the military. But any more than that won't work. "
Lan Mu said indifferently, "That's enough. Now don't let your imagination run wild. Calm your mind, otherwise it will affect my refining efficiency."
"Yes!"
