Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents

Chapter 1033 - 631: Disaster Diverted Eastward, the Promotion Curse (Part 2)

It looked like Lu Lin.

"Hey, I’ve seen this guy before. I asked him if he had any Glittering Gold, and he said he didn’t know what it was, asking me a lot of questions instead. Why would I chat more with a scavenger? I didn’t pay much attention to him at all."

As soon as Lu Lin appeared, a young man exclaimed.

"I’ve seen him too. That guy doesn’t seem that old, probably not even a hundred, and yet he has a piece of Glittering Gold."

"I’ve seen him too. If only I had asked him back then."

"What should we do? There are only three days left. Where can we find this guy now?"

Everyone was worried, and those students who hadn’t seen Lu Lin silently memorized his appearance and walked out without saying a word.

They didn’t move quickly, but once they moved, they were at least a hundred kilometers away.

Mo Nan World is not small, but with three days left, one must try their luck. Perhaps that three-pound piece of Glittering Gold could be theirs.

Seeing some people quietly leave, others couldn’t sit still and disappeared one by one.

After everyone had left, Lin Yaowu clicked his tongue twice and praised, "Qin Xue, your trick is really impressive. That kid offended you, such a misfortune for him."

Qin Xue’s eyebrows raised as she glared at Lin Yaowu: "Why, do you have an opinion?"

"No, no, no, I wouldn’t dare have an opinion."

With that, Lin Yaowu also disappeared in front of Qin Xue. Watching him leave, Qin Xue smiled.

A mere scavenger, thinking he could sell his Glittering Gold for a favor, actually wanting to forge a relationship with me? He deserves to be found and taught a lesson.

That day, Lu Lin was flying in the sky.

The Glittering Gold that could be found in Mo Nan World was basically in his hands. Next, he had to find a way to cash it in.

Of course, cashing in wasn’t the main goal. Lu Lin had two purposes.

To learn about some conditions in other Main Worlds.

To see what their lifestyle and cultivation models were like.

Additionally, to find an opportunity and a way to leave this Mo Nan World.

Although Lu Lin had agreed to find the Shape-shifting Thousand-masks Grass for the Evil Dragon and had even received the reward in advance, he didn’t want to fulfill that promise.

Being "picked up" by people sent by the Evil Dragon from Longyuan World, Lu Lin appeared compliant on the surface, but he obviously couldn’t have no resentment in his heart.

Don’t be fooled by the fact that Evil Dragon and the other Hall Masters don’t treat Lu Lin with disdain; it’s only because they have complete control over Lu Lin’s life and death.

They are confident that Lu Lin’s abilities can’t match theirs, and he doesn’t have the Flying Boat to travel between worlds.

Whether it was resistance or escape, it was impossible.

Therefore, these people were so confident in Lu Lin.

After all, who would worry much about a pet that can’t harm you or escape?

Indeed, in the eyes of everyone in Evil Dragon Hall, although Lu Lin could be considered a genius, his abilities were so weak that being treated as a pet was already very good, or else they wouldn’t mind getting rid of him.

The cooperation between both parties was unequal from the start, so Lu Lin naturally wouldn’t foolishly adhere to any promises.

Only.

Flying in the sky, Lu Lin was a bit troubled. A while ago, he would encounter some young people now and then, just like Qin Xue and Lin Yaowu, from the same place. But in the past month, because he traveled a bit far, he hadn’t encountered any students.

Could it be that these people have left this Main World?

"Oh!"

While Lu Lin was pondering, he suddenly saw a young man running below.

This person, Lu Lin happened to have met once before.

As he was just thinking about these people, he unexpectedly encountered one immediately—truly a stroke of luck!

Lu Lin descended.

At this moment, that person also saw Lu Lin and immediately showed a delighted expression.

"Brother."

Ma Lin called out excitedly and couldn’t wait to ask, "Is your three-pound piece of Glittering Gold still there?"

"What three-pound piece of Glittering Gold."

Lu Lin didn’t react at once; in this year, he had received over ten thousand pieces of Glittering Gold, and as for the weight, he only remembered it roughly. Who would remember the weight of each piece of Glittering Gold?

"You—you didn’t sell it, did you?"

Ma Lin was immediately dejected.

Well, in Mo Nan World, Glittering Gold is scarce. If the person had a three-pound piece of Glittering Gold, selling it at a high price shouldn’t be hard, especially since previously no one knew Lu Lin was a dispersed scavenger.

"Sell it? I haven’t sold a single piece of my Glittering Gold. Do you want Glittering Gold?"

Upon hearing Lu Lin’s words, Ma Lin was instantly excited.

The other party had more than one piece of Glittering Gold?!

And a lone scavenger?

Wasn’t this tempting him to make a move.

However, Ma Lin was still a principled person, "Brother, you say you haven’t sold any, meaning you have more than one piece of Glittering Gold?"

Lu Lin nodded.

Ma Lin was overjoyed internally, "Brother, how many pieces of Glittering Gold do you have? Sell me one, please."

"Please, if I don’t have Glittering Gold, I’ll definitely be scolded by the teacher when I go back."

Seeing how pitiful he sounded, Lu Lin had a thought. If this Glittering Gold was so important to him, couldn’t he seize the opportunity to ask some questions?

"Sure, but I have to ask you a question first. Which world are you from now? What’s your current strength? What is the main focus of your cultivation?"

When Lu Lin spoke, it was supposedly one question, but he asked a whole series.

Ma Lin thought for a while. This information wasn’t that secret. Scavengers, as well as people from many small and Great Worlds, found it incredibly difficult to ascend to Gang Member Level.

Unlike those born in Main Worlds, born as Gang Member Level, with a little cultivation, they could reach Gang Member Level 3 or 4. If someone had talent, they might even enter Leader Level. Reaching that stage, even in the Main World, would allow for a decent life.

"We are students from Gu Feng Academy in Cang He World. My current cultivation is Gang Member Level 4. As for the cultivation method... even if I tell you, it’s useless; you can’t cultivate it."

"Oh, why?"

Lu Lin asked puzzledly. Having a cultivation method but being unable to cultivate it, how was that possible?

"It’s really uncultivable, something already validated across various Main Worlds."

"Impossible!"

Lu Lin blurted out. He remembered reading a book before, in which a top strong person from a Great World named Gu Sang could cultivate higher-level Cultivation Methods and later reached the Rudder Master Level in the Main World.

"What’s impossible about it, brother? You haven’t been brainwashed by those novels, have you?"

"Those novels are just deceiving scavengers like you. Non-Main World people can’t step into Gang Member Level unless they use particular Secret Methods. But even then, those advancements won’t take you further."

"Because your body and Spirit cannot control higher-level power. It’s the most fundamental genetic difference of the human body, fundamentally unchangeable."

"Regarding using Secret Methods, Secret Techniques, Secret Treasures to advance to Gang Member Level, that’s not good fortune; it’s the beginning of misfortune. From then on, your life will become filled with pain, injuries, mental instability, and the threat of falling at any moment."

Upon hearing Ma Lin, Lu Lin understood.

People from Great Worlds and small worlds cannot cultivate to higher levels, limited by the body’s genetic constraints as determined by the world itself.

Evil Dragon Hall, Three Sages Temple, and Imprisoned Immortal Mountain could use the golden key to enhance their power.

But as Ma Lin mentioned, even if advanced, continuous suffering would follow, as evident from Evil Dragon.

He claimed to be injured, appearing like an old man.

Previously, Lu Lin thought it was due to battles or cultivation, but unexpectedly, it was because after surpassing limits, lifelong pain and ailments would accompany, far from the beautiful dream imagined.

Hence, the Evil Dragon devised a method to compensate for physical loss by ingesting Shape-shifting Thousand-masks Grass.

But this approach only treated the symptoms, not the root cause. If truly effective, it might have been popularized long ago.
