Chapter 77: Chapter 77: Two Outburst Periods
Humans were the greatest species in the universe, the strongest species.
In terms of appearance, there might be minor differences based on location.
Just like blacks, whites, and Asians on Earth.
The people from Star Blue were also human.
Lin Yun had video chatted with Star Blue, and the human appearances there were nearly the same as those on Earth, and Star Blue himself had a look that was very compatible with the handsome image on Earth.
But he never expected such a huge difference in lifespan and fertility.
"My situation is still fine. Many owners of the Cosmic Trading System have only a few intelligent life forms in their places. They are just low-level life forms, getting Spirit Crystals from their own resources. When their resources are almost exhausted and they still cannot leave their civilization, their development will become very difficult, very difficult..." Star Blue laughingly said.
"Leaving their civilization?" A gleam flickered in Lin Yun's eyes, he exclaimed in surprise.
"Acquiring the Cosmic Trading System was a stroke of immense luck. Now that we know about the countless civilizations in the universe and many peerless powerhouses, how can we not go and explore? Furthermore, those owners of the Cosmic Trading System who are surrounded by few intelligent life forms, their nearby resources have already been exhausted.
If they don't go out, how can they continue to grow? By relying on the spiritual energy emitted by a few intelligent life forms and some low-level life forms, or by their own slow cultivation?" Star Blue shook his head and said.
Lin Yun fell silent.
Now, he had just obtained the Cosmic Trading System. Earth civilization had great potential and he didn't particularly want to venture out yet. But, it couldn't be denied that when he saw images of those peerless powerhouses, he too was struck with awe, harboring a desire to become such a strong being.
If he were to develop to a certain extent and resources around him dwindled massively, making it difficult to increase his own power, wouldn't he want to venture out and see?
"Remember this, after acquiring the Cosmic Trading System, if everything develops well, sooner or later you will become a dominator in your civilization, or even an absolute dominator. The resources of the civilization you are in are fixed, and eventually, they will all be yours. Don't rush to sell them off cheaply…" At this point, Star Blue said thoughtfully.
"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Star Blue." A warm feeling sprouted in Lin Yun's heart, and he smiled and said.
He knew that what Star Blue had just said was somewhat out of line. The gold he bought from Hang Lee was sold to Star Blue. The gold he planned to sell in the future would also be sold to Star Blue. If he followed Star Blue's advice and stopped selling gold to him, or sold it to him at a higher price, wouldn't Star Blue be shooting himself in the foot?
It was not only about gold but also other resources. A newcomer who has just obtained the Cosmic Trading System would easily sell various resources to get Spirit Crystals. When Star Blue first associated with him, he probably had this in mind.
Now, Star Blue reminded him like this, indicating that he was somewhat honest with him.
"Life is one of the most miraculous things in the universe. Intelligent life is an even greater fortune among those. Intelligent life is a precious resource. There are differences between intelligent lives. In my place, 15 million people can condense one-and-a-half Spirit Crystals every day, I am really fortunate…" Star Blue laughingly said.
"15 million people can condense one-and-a-half Spirit Crystals every day?" Lin Yun was stupefied again.
If he remembered correctly, a few days ago, he could gain nearly one Spirit Energy Point every hour in the Golden Dragon Building.
Over a day, he could almost gain ten Spirit Energy Points.
However, the Golden Dragon Building was only open for about thirteen or fourteen hours a day, and he only stayed there for about twelve hours.
Assuming that when people are asleep, the spiritual energy they emit is minimal, and in a day only ten Spirit Energy Points can be obtained. Compared with the proportion Star Blue just mentioned, it's still a lot more.
One Spirit Crystal is equivalent to a hundred Spirit Energy Points, which means that he could condense a Spirit Crystal in ten days.
But how many people did he cover in the Golden Dragon Building?
Although the Golden Dragon Building was huge and had high footfall, the higher the floor, the fewer people there were.
The range covered by the Cosmic Trading System was only a part of it.
He estimated that the number of people covered by the Cosmic Trading System was only about ten thousand.
Such a number of people could condense ten Spirit Energy Points in a day. Wouldn't it mean that about a hundred thousand people could condense a Spirit Crystal in a day?
Around 150,000 individuals could condense half a Spirit Crystal in just a day?
If nighttime were accounted for, they might be able to gather some additional spiritual energy!
This was far more than a hundred times greater than the 15 million individuals on Star Blue's side!
"Surprising, isn't it? Many owners of the Cosmic Trading System, who have 20 to 30 million, or even 30 to 40 million individuals on their side, can only condense a single Spirit Crystal each day. So, it could be said that we are very lucky. Our humans here are of pretty high quality..." Star Blue laughed.
Upon hearing Star Blue's words, Lin Yun was speechless.
He had just acquired the Cosmic Trading System a few days prior, and he genuinely hadn't noticed this information.
He hadn't expected such a huge disparity between intelligent life forms.
He felt genuinely astonished; he had never imagined that their human beings, right here, could generate spiritual energy this quickly. He had also never thought the human beings on Star Blue's side could produce spiritual energy at such a low rate.
It appeared to him now why Spirit Energy Points and Spirit Crystals were so highly valued in the Cosmic Trading System.
It seemed his situation was unique.
Simultaneously, he was absolutely excited.
Over here, he had a vast population, producing spiritual energy at an exceedingly high speed and their reproduction rate was incredibly high. As the owner of this Cosmic Trading System, his level of luck was simply unbelievable.
He could envision his potential, which was bound to be tremendous in the future.
"Don't be too envious. You just started out. Once you become a ruler, the amount of Spirit Crystals you obtain through the Cosmic Trading System for daily absorption and refinement will be just as large. From what you've told me earlier, there seem to be a lot of intelligent beings on your side. Consequently, the amount of Spirit Crystals you obtain may be even greater..." Star Blue chuckled.
Envious? Envious my foot!
Lin Yun was sweating profusely.
He saw no reason to envy 15 million individuals who could only gain half a Spirit Crystal daily.
Here, he would need to merely expand the quantity of individuals within the Cosmic Trading System's spiritual energy absorption and refinement range to around 150,000, or a little over 100,000, to achieve the same results.
However, he didn't mention this.
Because, this was simply astonishing.
If the speed at which the humans on Earth generated spiritual energy only exceeded that of the humans on Star Blue by two to three times, then he could share this. But such a massive disparity was definitely out of the question.
"Much of the material resources are finite and fixed. Utilizing some means consuming some, and they won't increase! The human beings, the intelligent life forms around you, are the greatest resources. They could constantly provide you with Spirit Crystals. This may not let you gain a lot at one go, but its stability and gradual accumulation will result in a considerable amount!"
"Owners of the Cosmic Trading System have two stages of extensive growth. One is right after they gain control of the Cosmic Trading System when they can use the price difference between the countless civilizations in the universe and their own civilizations' vast resources to quickly rise to power in their own civilization!"
"The second stage of massive growth happens just as they leave their native cultures!"
"With good luck, they might discover civilization after civilization without any Cosmic Trading System owners... You can imagine how significant the benefits they would get are. This is also why many owners of the Cosmic Trading System are motivated to venture beyond their native civilizations after developing to a certain extent!"
"However, before this, it's best for owners of the Cosmic Trading System to maximize the use of their civilizations' resources and strive to become as powerful as possible. This way, the dangers they might encounter while voyaging through the universe will be minimized!"
"The vast universe is full of opportunities, but also fraught with peril. The second stage of massive growth is also the riskiest period!"
Star Blue continued to explain.
