I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

By a stroke of fate, Lu Yuan manipulated a vine to poke her soft, delicate calf.

"Ouch," Conch's delicate brows furrowed slightly, as she was enjoying her meal, she scolded angrily, "You shameless rogue, you startled me."

Lu Yuan simply tied up her legs with the vines, making eager attacking gestures at her.

"Daddy investor is eating people!"

The scene was quite aesthetic, elves and the giant tree seemed like a perfect match, right?

The two of them happily played for a while.

To nurture a girl to the current attribute of 35.3 was something only big players like Lu Yuan could achieve, and her Divine Attribute was growing fast every year. Old Lu felt both the pain and pleasure of not knowing when it would stop.

Near the Tree of Life, about five hundred meters away, stood the even larger Opium poppy tree!

A hundred-meter-tall tree stump, several hundred times thicker than the Tree of Life!

That's the limitation of being a tree.

Lu Yuan could still move a bit, but the Opium poppy tree really couldn't move at all!

However, after resting for thirty years, the Opium poppy tree had recovered most of its Essence; its leaves were lush and dripping with freshness, the small ones the size of a palm, the big ones like banana leaves.

The Opium poppy tree's metabolism was much faster than that of the Tree of Life, the leaves not serving many functions, mostly just used in agriculture.

Right now, it had accumulated enough energy to let Sky City fly for a while.

"First, let's find a way to get some nuclear power units from the Rize Civilization," he said.

"That way, the burden on the Opium poppy tree will decrease."

Additionally, Lu Yuan had always been using the Tree of Life to study the Opium poppy tree's "Dream Ability."

Having a Demon level Dream Ability and not using it seemed a waste, so Lu Yuan wanted to create a "Green Grass Paradise."

The saying goes, a wise rabbit has three openings to its den. The Opium poppy tree, being such a large and valuable target, would be vulnerable to priority attacks in wars.

Just in case the tree really died, Lu Yuan's backup "Green Grass Paradise" could still be reused.

On the other hand, the "True Dream" ability could effectively manage the subconscious and organize personal memories.

Conch told him this good method; as a long-lived species, they periodically organize their memories, storing useful memories in the superficial layers and unused memories in the deepest parts of the subconscious.

They arranged them neatly like books in a bookcase, ensuring that even as they aged and memories accumulated, they wouldn't get confused.

Memory management—a challenge that long-lived species must face.

Moreover, the Dream ability meant that time could be controlled.

He could shorten the time in dreams.

Sleep for a nap and spend several hundred years like how the Undying Giant Turtle passes through epochs by hibernating.

Well, no need for that just yet…

He could also slightly prolong time; time would expand in the dream, and as the dream grew deeper, the passage of time would slow down even more.

So much extra time, of course, was for... studying!

Thinking this, Lu Yuan began to study with great enthusiasm!

"Want to study together?" he asked.

"Your daughter is looking for me to play... It's the Spring Festival today, aren't you taking a break?" Conch was somewhat accustomed to Lu Yuan's crazy study plans.

Ever since six years ago, when Lu Yuan created an Immortal Masterpiece, he was obsessed with it every day like he was on drugs.

Lu Yuan muttered, "I need to study!"

A green vine connected to the Opium poppy tree, acting like an internet cable, linking the "True Dream Abilities" of the two trees.

The dream Lu Yuan created himself was called "Meida Paradise" in honor of his former second home, the Meida Civilization.

The current user was just him, though occasionally Conch would come to build things.

He was warmly greeted by an orb of light: "Super Administrator, hello! Welcome to Meida Paradise!"

With a thought, Lu Yuan transformed the milky-white space into a large library.

He took out a document from the Green Grass Civilization and started reading it attentively.

"The extraordinary value of Legendary Masterpieces—discussing how to surpass the material itself and upgrade the equipment."

He had been researching this document for several months.

Though the Green Grass Civilization was affluent, there were still not many masterpieces above Legendary level.

Every Legendary Masterpiece was immensely valuable. After all, materials of "Legendary" or "Epic" levels had to come from Anomalies, which were not easy to handle.

Then, how to upgrade normal materials to a higher quality became the most important research question.

This scientist from the Green Grass Civilization proposed several interesting points: the right time, the right place, and the right people.@@novelbin@@

"The right time" meant leveraging the Qi Fortune of the civilization: if the civilization's Qi Fortune was linked with the Legendary Masterpieces, they could exert power beyond the material itself.

For instance, if a civilization faced a great crisis and needed a Divine weapon to turn the situation around.

Then, under the entire civilization's Qi Fortune, a craftsman could use ordinary materials to create higher quality items, be it Epic level or even Immortal level!

"The right place" meant creating a forging site with high Ideal Energy density through methods such as blood sacrifices, unique objects, and Engravings, to improve equipment quality.

This energy was really plentiful... but also the only method that was somewhat controllable.

"The right people" was even more magical; this scientist from the Green Grass Civilization believed that a craftsman's "title" and "reputation" were very important.
