Chapter 16: Tongtian Divine Tree, Upgrade (LV16)
The immersive holographic online game with 100% realism has brought great shock to the players.
Although only the resurrection pool can collect emotion points at this stage, but in just a few minutes, plus one resurrection, the two players contributed 21.36 energy points to Chu Zhongxing.
Chu Zhongxing couldn't believe it. If the Tongtian Divine Tree grew up and could absorb the players' emotional values all the time, his own energy value would skyrocket to what extent.
"The energy value is enough to upgrade. Let's see what effect the upgraded Tongtian Divine Tree can bring to me!"
As Chu Zhongxing's thoughts connected to the Tongtian Divine Tree, a virtual panel appeared in front of Chu Zhongxing.
[Tongtian Divine Tree: LV0 (0/10) (Energy value can be used to irrigate Tongtian Divine Tree). 】
[Number of players that can be summoned: 2/2. ]
【ability:
1: Shape the body and summon "players" far away on the blue planet.
2: You can forcibly control the shaped body to do anything.
3: Text appears on the eyes of the sculpted body.
4: Absorb the emotional fluctuations of players in the designated area and convert them into energy points.
Five: Every twelve hours, an ownerless body will be materialized to revive the player (energy value can be used to speed up). 】
[Bodies that can be resurrected: 2. ]
【Energy value: 21.36. 】
"General Guo, excuse me for a moment!"
After getting the energy value of 21.36, Chu Zhongxing suddenly stood up from the stone pier, bowed to Guo Xiaoding, and strode towards the resurrection pool.
"This guy, what's so urgent?"
Guo Xiaoding looked at Chu Zhongxing's departing back and resisted the urge to follow him.
Sometimes, being a little confused is not a bad thing.
The tender buds of the Tongtian Divine Tree swayed continuously with the breeze. Chu Zhongxing stood beside the Tongtian Divine Tree. He squatted down, put his hands into the Resurrection Pool, scooped some water from the Resurrection Pool, and poured it on the Tongtian Divine Tree.
The water from the Resurrection Pool has no effect on the Tongtian Divine Tree, but Chu Zhongxing also injects energy into the Tongtian Divine Tree while watering it.
The emerald green leaves of the Tongtian Divine Tree became even greener and more tender after absorbing the energy. At the same time, Chu Zhongxing's thoughts were connected to the Tongtian Divine Tree, and several lines of text appeared before his eyes.
[You use your energy to water the Tongtian Divine Tree.]
[The Tongtian Divine Tree absorbed the energy and grew very well. 】
【The Sky-reaching Divine Tree (LV0) → (LV1). 】
[The power of the Tongtian Divine Tree has been enhanced. As someone who lives and breathes the Tongtian Divine Tree, your power has also been enhanced.]
[The number of players you summon increases by 2. ]
[You can choose one of the following three options as your new ability. ]
[1: Heart. You can consume energy points to replicate the magical power mastered by a player.
2: Translation. You can spend energy to teach (Emperor Business Mandarin) to players.
Three: Heart connection. You can consume energy to connect a strand of the players' souls together, allowing them to communicate with each other through text (Note: text communication between players will consume their own spiritual energy based on the distance). 】
The Tongtian Divine Tree was upgraded from level 0 to level 1.
Chu Zhongxing and the Tongtian Divine Tree coexist with each other. When the Tongtian Divine Tree is upgraded, Chu Zhongxing can summon two more players and also gain a new ability.
"Choose one out of three?"
"Communication, translation, connection? Why do I have to choose one of the three? I want all three!"
Looking at the three abilities in the options, Chu Zhongxing really wanted them all, especially the ability of telepathy, which was simply super amazing. As long as the player had mastered the magical power, he could spend energy points to replicate it.
Doesn't this mean that as long as he has enough players and has his own players in all the schools of thought, Chu Zhongxing will have mastered all the magical powers of all the schools of thought.
Although he didn't know how much energy it would take to replicate it, this at least gave Chu Zhongxing a glimpse of what was possible.
As long as his energy value is high enough, he can master all the magical powers of the various schools of thought.
The telepathic ability is incredible, but it is a bit useless at the current stage.
At this stage, players have just entered the game and have not even passed the five teachings, let alone joining the military strategists and learning their magical powers.
The players have not mastered the magical powers, so even if Chu Zhongxing has the energy points, no one can replicate him.
"Choose between translation and connecting hearts."
It's said to be a choice between two, but in fact there is no choice at all.
At this stage, players don’t even have spiritual energy, how can they send text messages to chat?
You can only choose translation!
Moreover, communication is the prerequisite for everything. If players and NPCs cannot communicate with each other, how can they play games, complete tasks, or trigger hidden plots and tasks?
As Chu Zhongxing confirmed, the Tongtian Divine Tree continued to shake, and soon the Tongtian Divine Tree, which had only four buds, grew a fifth bud.
The five sprouts represent the five abilities mastered by Chu Zhongxing.
Chu Zhongxing’s mind once again connected to the Tongtian Divine Tree and his eyes were on the attribute panel.
[Tongtian Divine Tree LV1 (0/100)]
The energy required for upgrading has increased tenfold.
"Exponential growth? If everything is exponential growth, that's a bit too much!"
"I hope to reach level 2. The energy value required is not 1000!"
"The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades, we still need to work hard!!"
Chu Zhongxing was immediately full of motivation. The pie that the Tongtian Divine Tree had painted for him was indeed very tempting.
"The two new players will be summoned tomorrow. I need to use this new ability of translation as soon as possible."
The players cannot understand what the Zhenbei Army coach says. Currently, the communication between the players and the Zhenbei Army coach depends entirely on Chu Zhongxing popping up a dialog box.
It is not a good idea to keep popping up dialog boxes, and the translation capability can solve this problem.
Patting his butt, Chu Zhongxing strolled back to the martial arts field humming a little tune. His eyes were on "I don't eat beef", who was training seriously with the coach. His mind was connected to Tongtian Sect, using his translation ability.
[Whether to teach the player the Imperial Business Mandarin, this action will consume 33 energy points. ]
"so much?"
It only takes 1 energy points to upgrade the Tongtian Divine Tree from level 2 to level 100.
However, it takes 33 energy points to teach the official language of the Imperial Merchants once. This energy consumption is too high!
The energy consumed in teaching the imperial business official language exceeded Chu Zhongxing's expectations.
Perhaps in the future when there are more players, 33 energy points will be just a drop in the bucket of his energy reserves, but for Chu Zhongxing now, this energy value is indeed a huge sum of money.
Chu Zhongxing, who originally wanted to teach players the official language of the Imperial Merchants for free, gave up the idea.
The official language of the Empire Business will still be taught to players, but it will be converted from a free method to a paid method.
"Dear players, I am too poor now. I wanted to teach you the Imperial Business Mandarin for free, but the energy consumed by this thing is too high. I can only charge you."
The wool comes from the sheep. At this stage, Chu Zhongxing is very short of energy points. The 33 points of energy required to teach the official language of the Imperial Merchants must be paid by the players.
