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

Lu Yuan remained silent for a moment and did not want to dampen the other's enthusiasm, after all, General Li meant well.

"General Li, how many Points of God do you have?"

"12.8... almost 13; my Divine Attribute is rising a bit slowly..."

"Okay, okay, okay; surpassing 12 points, I think you should study Engravings, seriously learn mathematics, and then figure out how to understand the Engravings. Everything else is not important."

General Li was a bit confused and didn't follow right away. Why was everything else not important?

He couldn't help but ask, "Instructor Lu, I heard that you also have a group of native humans on your side. If I may ask boldly, what's the highest level among them?"

Lu Yuan steeled himself and hesitated for a while.

Since you've asked, I can only tell the truth, "There are a total of six Level 6 experts, including myself, also at Level 6. There are thirty to forty at Level 5, and even more at Level Four, nearly a hundred..."

The faces of the group immediately turned red!

Several people who were chatting with Miss Conch also turned their heads and listened with their ears cocked.

Level 6 experts, what concept was that?!

General Li was only at Level Three!

Lu Yuan hurriedly added a word of consolation: "Actually, these are all talents left by a previous civilization, not cultivated by us; some of these old men are over three hundred years old."

"Our ragtag establishment has also only been around for over thirty years..."

In the Mandala Empire, the stories they encountered were all information unknown to humans.

Upon hearing that Lu Yuan had recruited over a hundred super-experts in the Mandala Empire, everyone couldn't help but show envious looks.

All of them were talents...

Meanwhile, Miss Conch was smiling secretly to one side. Why did you, Lu Yuan, always report only the good and not the worries?

"Mr. Lu, are these people willing to be governed by you? Are they really that compliant? Don't they want to set up their own factions?" General Li couldn't help but ask.

"Because I am now at Level 6."

"Besides, levels... actually don't matter much; you can still be slaughtered by powerful Anomalies."

"The greatest use of experts is to engage in scientific research and industry. Higher-end talents indeed deserve respect, but deploying experts in combat is sort of putting the cart before the horse."

The faces of the group immediately turned dark!

To be massacred just the same?

They were facing the terrifying threat of Anomalies!

So, does this mean that cultivating madly is useless?

Lu Yuan fell silent for a moment, then sighed, "How can humans possibly defeat Anomalies? The most significant use of rising to an Extraordinary Level is to have 12 Points of God for studying Engravings, or to slightly increase the chance of preserving one's life amid disasters..."

"How about this, I'll give you a set of children's Cultivation materials... to nurture as many talents as possible with the least resource consumption, which is something every civilization needs to focus on."

"Everyone is very poor..."

He took out a book from the library and handed it to the many soldiers.

The text on it was in Chinese; they could all understand it.

General Li held the book somewhat awkwardly: "Instructor Lu, truly appreciative... we originally wanted to offer some help... it's a shame that our strength is so limited; it's almost like making things worse."

He was someone who knew the value of what he had; upon flipping through those materials, he quickly realized their sophistication.

The soldiers gathered together to study the materials and then quietly discussed among themselves which insights were different from those in Yunhai City, analyzing the principles within.

"If you are willing, help me get some high-end product schematics," Lu Yuan suddenly had an idea.

"Like a full set of blueprints for things like CPU, GPU, motherboard, memory, of 8 nanometers or above. Airplanes, cannons, missiles, or even medical machinery... I have a machine here that can replicate anything as long as I have the blueprints."

What were they most lacking?

High-end technology, of course!

Lu Yuan wanted to play with computers... oh, no, they could use the Universal Factory to create high-tech items!

You must know that high-end technology represents trillion-dollar investments, the jewels of global industry, human civilization #18, even after a few hundred years, might not be able to produce it!

"Bringing blueprints into the Dream is a bit difficult..."

General Li frowned but soon found solace, "However, we have many Divine Skill Users; they should be able to think of a good way."

"It shouldn't be a problem..." Li Ran assured, "Since you can replicate things one-to-one, perhaps add some software CDs? Without software, the computer won't boot up."

Lu Yuan opened his mouth—then how about getting a few games? That new one, "Black Myth·Bajie," I haven't played it yet.

...

Meanwhile, Miss Conch and Lu Qingqing had been chattering away and laughing about something.

Two high-quality "Holy Kings," hand in hand, with pretty faces and good figures, were a treat for the eyes.

They were chatting about Lu Yuan's personal matters and some popular culture of human civilization.

Yunhai City's production capabilities were mostly devoted to manufacturing weapons, which naturally made civilian life increasingly impoverished, but Lu Qingqing could talk about the wonderful times on Earth—although there were various social contradictions at that time, comparing now, it truly felt like living in heaven.

Miss Conch was a very smart girl; she knew what could be said and what couldn't, and most of the time, she just listened with a smile.

Lu Qingqing suddenly remembered something and asked, "Why has the Parasol Tree become so docile? Bro... what happened?"

Lu Yuan broke into a sweat; dare he say he had "controlled" the Parasol Tree? He didn't dare!

"Control," this ability, was clearly taboo.@@novelbin@@

Apart from Miss Conch and Old Cat, no one else knew!

He coughed and said seriously, "It was just a simple beating, this guy is a bully and fears the tough... Of course, it was the power of the Yingyu Tree."

"As you know, the Yingyu Tree is a Catastrophe Level anomaly [Demon], and it also has dream abilities, equivalent to being a superior existence to this parasol tree. So subduing it was a breeze."

This explanation, indeed, was understandable.

An anomaly is the embodiment of the Ideal Rules.

The dream ability of the Yingyu Tree is stronger than that of all other life forms.

"How should one develop an anomaly?"

Lu Yuan said, "The simplest way, for the ones with wisdom, is to talk about feelings, reason with it, and it will come willingly."

Right, he was talking about the Undying Giant Turtle!

"But most anomalies are very evil, so you can only beat them down and then seal them. This requires mastery in engravings. If there is someone with high proficiency in engravings, sealing a dying anomaly isn't too difficult."

"The handbook of Daedalus contains this part, so I don't need to send it out again."

"For pure physical technology to achieve this, it's quite troublesome."

Physical technology, when developed to its utmost, can indeed manage to seal anomalies, but the difficulty of such development is beyond what humans can currently reach…

"Moreover, the Yingyu Tree is the last legacy of the Green Grass Civilization. I've been able to survive until now, thanks largely to Miss Conch's care. She's the owner of the Yingyu Tree and has helped me a lot."

Immediately, a look of reverence appeared in everyone's eyes.

Being a descendant of the Green Grass civilization, plus the owner of a [Demon], indeed was a very noble status.

Miss Conch's pretty face turned slightly red, and she could only say modestly, "It's not like that, he's my lifesaver, and we're just helping each other."

And she was genuinely happy.

In front of the guests from the mother civilization, Lu Yuan kept boosting her value.

Besides, a young girl always has a bit of vanity, so her happiness was off the charts.

Lu Qingqing smiled and said, "The parasol tree now is like a little rabbit cowering in its hole, not daring to move at all."

"It was disobedient before?" Lu Yuan asked in confusion.

"Just a few minutes ago, it was quite arrogant, it even beat up our strongest person and caused mental damage... It even thought about eating people."

"I see, no wonder Captain Li's complexion isn't very good…"

"But I think it won't dare to do so in the future."

There was no killing intent on Lu Yuan's face, but his tone was decisive.

The Twin Ginkgo Tree rustled as if it was thinking, it must be extremely frustrated—if it had thoughts that is—thinking, "How come you humans have such backing?"

Experience tales with My Virtual Library Empire

They were both trees with dream abilities, yet naturally countered!

Lu Qingqing chuckled and ran over, stopping when she was close to forty meters away—because the parasol tree previously only allowed her to come within forty or fifty meters of it.

The parasol tree truly did not dare to move.

"It's telling you to hurry over! Don't be afraid!" Miss Conch dragged Lu Qingqing and ran to the vicinity of the parasol tree.

Tree bark bulges grew from the surface of the parasol tree, resembling a ladder to facilitate their ascent to higher places.

This scene of flattery left the crowd with mixed feelings, unsure of what to say.

How could the contrast be so stark!

A moment ago, these soldiers were fighting for their lives, worried that the parasol tree might suddenly lash out and eat people.

The next second, it was utterly submissive, even inviting people to climb up on it.

This was probably the difference in strength.

But upon further thought, everyone felt joy in their hearts.

The submission of the parasol tree meant a massive increase in Cultivation Resources!

In the past, only a few "Favored Persons" could obtain sustenance from the parasol tree, but after its submission, it could at least support the cultivation of a few thousand people!

In an instant, the Cultivation Resources skyrocketed by who knows how many times!

Lu Yuan also understood their thoughts and said softly, "My friends, the growth of this parasol tree also requires a lot of Ideal Energy."

"If it allocates Ideal Energy to you, then its own growth rate slows down."

"So, whether to invest in the present or the future, depends on your own plans."

"Of course, I can assure that it will behave well in the future, and it will never lose its temper again. If it does, just come and find me."

He snapped off a branch of the Yingyu Tree from within the dream, modified it, and handed it to General Li, "With this branch, you can command it."

"Issue some simple commands, and it should understand."

General Li nodded quickly, "Can anyone do this?"

Lu Yuan said, "Yes, just take this branch. You all should take care of it and not lose it!"

"Moreover, it's just a product of the dream and cannot be brought into reality."
