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

Chapter 570: Chapter 418: The Perfect Answer Sheet

Lu Yuan turned his head and said to the people of the Underground Alliance, “Everyone, I have taken a bit of your time, but my work is finally complete.”

“Please now evaluate the result of this gambling duel.”

He took out a handful of the most common gray soil from the cracks, and placed it into a flowerpot.

At this moment, time and space seemed to lapse into confusion.

Under the influence of the field, the area around “Farmer No.1” became suitable for the growth of mushrooms.

The tiny spores floating in the air began to grow rapidly in the flowerpot.

Being able to grow and not being able to grow at all are two different things…

The Underground Alliance had always believed that mushrooms could not grow once removed from their native environment.

But now…

The growth rate was not slow.

The scene was utterly silent.

A minute passed.

The mycelium grew visibly to the naked eye.

After 10 minutes, the sporophores began to form, and the mushroom fruiting bodies (the commonly seen parts of mushrooms) kept growing.

The scene was really extremely quiet.

Everyone held their breath.

Lu Yuan blinked, feeling incredibly tired, but his objective had indeed been accomplished.

He slightly bowed to the people of the Underground Alliance.

Turning around, he walked towards the silent crowd.

All he wanted now was to get a good sleep.

…

The Underground Alliance, faced with a flowerpot that could grow mushrooms and a Big Locust Valley, fell into silence.

Only occasional whispers arose.

At this moment, everyone was both a witness and an examiner.

They saw the greenish light emanating from the locust, spreading over a small territory…

And the mushrooms were growing rapidly in an incomprehensible way.

This strange thing, akin to a domain, had appeared during Niu Ba and Guo Dafeng’s fight, and occasionally on those high-level members of the Insect Clan.

Now it was actually appearing on a puppet!

What did this mean?

Such high-level methods had suddenly become commonplace?

“Master of Furnace Wheel… it appears that the other party has succeeded.”

The Craftsman Master Furnace Wheel, eyes wide open, sighed deeply.

He had witnessed with his own eyes the moment when the Big Locust was “revived from death”!

Legendary level, without a doubt, no need for identification, he knew that was the realm he yearned for in his dreams—to reach the Legendary level without a burst of inspiration, just in an ordinary state.

He was filled with mixed emotions.

It was as if he returned to those times when he understood nothing.

Discovering the relics of the Grotto Heaven and obtaining the Gear Inheritance.

Alone, he faced the mysterious world, groping his way along a certain path.

Now… he saw a new world.

“I lost, and it was a terrible defeat.” Furnace Wheel sighed, then suddenly shouted, “Master Lu, is there something wrong with the path I chose?!”

“There’s no right or wrong,” Lu Yun replied. “It’s good as long as you don’t regret it.”

Furnace Wheel quickly regained his composure, murmuring to himself: “Yes, I’ve always walked the path of no regrets.”

After saying that, he fell silent.

Lu Yuan then said, “Come and exchange knowledge with us when you have time. Don’t just work in isolation… Your talent is superb, but there is so much more in this world worth learning. Don’t dwell on the past forever, forging only slaughter weapons.”

He quietly displayed the “Gear Civilization” jade pendant.

The others didn’t notice anything.

This jade pendant was dull and lacked luster, indistinguishable from an ordinary stone.

But Master of Furnace Wheel nearly bounced off his seat, eyes gleaming with excitement: “Is this…is this from my sect?”

Indeed, a fellow sect member!

A fellow sect member who has received the Gear Inheritance.

Being defeated by a senior brother seemed to instantly dissipate much of his dejection.

…

The faces of the other members of the Underground Alliance didn’t look too good.

They lost… in a manner they couldn’t comprehend, they had lost.

“Identify!” Some still didn’t give up and attempted an identification.

“Report… there is strong Idealist Interference there, only by retracting that green glow, can we identify the results.”

“Sigh, stop struggling, if you can’t identify it directly, you should understand what that means.”

“Master of Furnace Wheel, there is always someone better; losing is not a big deal. After all, through this ordeal, Humans should look at us in a better light.”

Suddenly, Master of Furnace Wheel said, “I’m not really depressed, it’s just that the opponent just now showed a ‘Gear Inheritance’ jade token… and the inheritances obtained by both sides might not be the same. This could be a gesture of goodwill.”

“What?” Everyone was shocked once again.

Master of Furnace Wheel sighed, “Although in this world, being from the same sect doesn’t seem to carry much significance, everyone doesn’t need to be so nervous… Sigh, I’m not a diplomat, so I won’t make any more comments.”

“No, no, no! You’re wrong, having a sect affiliation is already a very good identity!” Dadao Gang’s face brightened up, racking his brains, thinking about whether he could use this identity to his advantage.

…

Meanwhile, the human diplomatic delegation was also surprised, bemused, silent, and even incredulous!

They fabricated a Legendary item out of thin air, at virtually no cost!

This can only be described as monstrous!

The Field…

They were all too familiar with it.

Only a Level 7 Grandmaster can possess one. Lu Yuan had already custom-made over a hundred.

But to see it on a puppet was still unbelievable.

Although this Field was tiny and weak… its functionality was not weak at all.

“Clap clap clap!” Guo Dafeng was the first to start applauding.

The outcome had become unimportant long ago.

It even signified a qualitative change in Extraordinary Forging Skill, a crucial step for Humanity in the idealist domain!

Even a mere locust could extend a Field, what about other Ideal Rules? That all things… could possess Fields!

How many achievements could be made from this? How much productivity could be added?

The diplomatic group gradually understood this.

The applause grew louder, and in a flash, the “clap clap clap” transformed from a thunderstorm to a downpour.

People couldn’t help but applaud and cheer for Lu Yuan’s return.

They witnessed a great moment!

Lu Tiantian couldn’t help but remark, “Great Commander, I knew you wouldn’t lose, but did you have to make such a big scene… What level of craftsman could even accomplish such a feat?”

Lu Yuan replied irritably, “I just don’t want to end up in some anecdotal history: In a certain year and month, Lu Yuan was miserably defeated by the Underground Alliance and could only cry secretly in his blanket. Upon hearing the news, the Rat Artisans joyfully celebrated, smugly saying: ‘You’ve had your day, kid. You’re always so cocky, but when it mattered, you failed. Is that right?'”

Everyone burst into laughter.

“How could it be, it would absolutely not get out.”

“Right now, I just want to find a place to sleep… I’m dead tired!” Lu Yuan kept yawning, his face pale, truly at the edge of mental exhaustion, utterly worn out.

(It’s the last day of October, and I’ve finally finished writing this plot, it’s a bit shorter in word count, please forgive me!)

(Also, there’s a Monthly Ticket lottery in November, you can send them my way!)
