882: Chapter 868 Hamr 882: Chapter 868 Hamr Just within the first few days, the journey to the Seventh District brought Lu Ping’an’s party a lot of gains.
Yet, the biggest gain was the impact on their worldview.
They had seen plenty of rchandise and wonders these days, but the most fundantal difference lay in the understanding and utilization of external things, contamination, and the world.
“….So this is the power source of your spacefaring ships?
Really, quite creative…”
Beings like Lu Ping’an had smooth communication with visitors from the Foreign Domain, after all, strength is a pass in any world, and his presence alone was a Na Card.
At this mont, Lu Ping’an contemplated the “battery” that was tied up tightly inside the power cabin.
This was a Rule Lifeform…
a life form rather than a strongman, a powerful creature innately equipped with certain rule characteristics; Lu Ping’an could feel its potential to easily annihilate everything.
Lightning flashed around it, and liquid, crystal-clear solid-like Energy Fluid filled the space, yet it was firmly bound within transparent space barriers, serving as the engine’s power supply.
“Uh, it was raised by us from infancy, this one is also quite valuable in our place, to be precise, it constitutes seventy percent of the ship’s value.
Look, it’s quite obedient; not only does it supply energy steadily, but it also provides us with seven large barrels of Ying-electric fluid each month, which is an aweso ingredient for beverages.
Want a sip?”
This peculiar life form that looked a bit like a hamr offered Lu Ping’an a cup of “Beer” with much enthusiasm.
Excluding the sparkling crystals and the faintly boiling bizarre bubbles, it actually slled sowhat fragrant.
“…Not bad.”
Lu Ping’an gulped it down directly with a murmur and then felt a boiling sensation all over his body.
Lu Ping’an, a bit surprised, reached out his hand, his hair stood on end, and there was a faint spark of static electricity…
uh, if he were to test it with a voltter right now, it would probably go off the charts.
“A Walker-level in less than twenty Earth years, your civilization indeed arouses envy, ah ha ha.”
The large Hamr-man with a hamr-like head slapped Lu Ping’an’s shoulder with his arm vigorously, displaying great magnanimity…
but Lu Ping’an felt that the pressure on his shoulder was almost like being hit by a car.
Uh, considering Lu Ping’an had indeed been hit by cars more than once, the physical strength of this three-ter-tall Hamr-man probably exceeded that of vehicles by quite a bit.
Luka people, but due to their boxy hamr-like heads, Eastern Country People “affectionately” started calling them Hamr-n…
boisterous as they were, they didn’t mind, being a race of n without won, even lacking the concepts of sexes or love.
The “Walker-level” he ntioned was also a common distinction for supernatural ability users.
Lu Ping’an, a Decree-level, was colloquially referred to as “Walker”, “Traveler”, or more precisely, “teor” by them.
This implied that a being of such a tier could thrive in most worlds and environnts.
Now, after a gulp of “electrolyte solution”, a normal Earth human would have been finished, but the now non-human Lu Ping’an was capable of handling and even absorbing such “contamination” and “transformation”.
[Gained minor electric energy resistance.]
[Gained minor toxin (heavy tal) resistance]
[Gained minor radiation resistance.]
Lu Ping’an put down the cup, his expression a mix of subtlety.
The “ingredients” of this stuff were truly comprehensive, comparable to so worlds’ radiation water beverages.
Were there benefits?
Probably…
“Snap!”
A snap of the fingers produced sparks at the fingertips, and although there was no system notification, Lu Ping’an could feel that he was able to control the “electric energy” in his body.
Electric sparks transmitted through his nervous system; in that mont, Lu Ping’an even felt everything around him slow down, experiencing a pleasantly euphoric sensation—well, perhaps he himself had been accelerated…
“…..Interesting, is this the drunken state of a Hamr-man?
Ordinary life forms couldn’t bear it.”
Feeling as if his nervous system had been accelerated, Lu Ping’an’s well-established Life Knowledge system told him that perhaps prolonged use could have an effect similar to a Magic Potion, enhancing his Reflex capabilities.
Yet for the Hamr-n, this was just an everyday consumable, the byproduct of their “engine wastewater”.
Lu Ping’an was sowhat surprised.
He evaluated the item and realized that if it were sold as a Magic Potion on Earth, the price would not be low.
However, for them, it was just a daily beverage.
And what was even more valuable to them…
“I’ll take ten more bottles of your Fluid Flash Explode Strengthening Potion.”
Lu Ping’an’s hearty appetite even scared the Hamr-man.
“…Don’t overdose.”
“Rest assured, for , it’s nothing.”
Lu Ping’an accepted the agreed-upon reward, those ten little orbs shimring with lightning, then directly crushed them.
The liquid turned into tiny bubbles in mid-air and was absorbed into his body.
“Boom!”
The next mont, the punch that Lu Ping’an threw caused a flash explosion in the air.
[Congratulations Host, you have acquired the Brass Upper Tier Abnormal Ability, Fluid Flash Explode (100/100).]
[Fluid Flash Explode (Brass Upper Tier): Trigger a directional burst of ‘electric’ or ‘fire’ energy through high-speed limb movent.]
In simple terms, what Lu Ping’an just displayed was a Flat A with lightning.
“Not bad, it suits quite well….”
“…Your species’ supernatural resistance is sowhat exaggerated.
That isn’t noted in our records.
They underestimated you.
A normal Walker-level would need at least half a year to consu a course of Strengthening Potion.”
“Heh, your records probably aren’t wrong.
I’m just a bit special, that’s all.”
The Hamr-man was quite astonished, but actually, Lu Ping’an was even more surprised himself.
Hamr-man’s technology had turned this “Professional Ability” into a Strengthening Potion, which, when regularly consud and digested, did the trick straight away.
But even more advanced was the leading position on the industrial chain.
This “Fluid Burst,” in fact, was a Talent Ability of a species of sea snakes known in the Codex as Blind Electric Brutes, which excel at creating electric storms underwater.
The Hamr-people had not only extracted this Ability from the life forms but also refined and improved it two or three tis over, ultimately evolving it into a pseudo-Talent Ability that could develop further, incorporating it into the Strengthening Potion.
“…The most outrageous part is probably the price.
It’s nearly a daily commodity.”
This level of enhanced Abnormal Ability in the hands of the Hamr-people was about as expensive as a universal wrench, and the intelligence that Lu Ping’an had was that these Exotic Realm rchants had at least dozens of Strengthened properties.
“Is your whole ethnic group Extraordinary?
I an, to have the potential to evolve to a ‘Walker-level’ like ?”
“An Extraordinary ethnic group is the foundation of a strong species.
It seems your species’ Pollution Screening Rate has already passed the halfway mark.
In a few hundred years, you should also be able to reach full mbership.
But evolving to a Walker is not very realistic.
That depends too much on talent; it’s less than one in ten thousand.”
Upon hearing this, Lu Ping’an felt even more intrigued.
It wasn’t because of the reality of the Hamr-people all being Extraordinary.
Even those strong ethnic groups only had a “Pollution Screening Rate” of eighty or ninety percent.
But once a certain threshold was reached, as long as they routinely “eliminated” those Losers, from their perspective, they would also be entirely Extraordinary.
Every civilization has its own way of utilizing and drawing from primordial Power.
However, the Hamr-people in front of him might have already integrated their technology and culture with their species, becoming a true Extraordinary ethnic group.
Lu Ping’an could sense that the seemingly ordinary Hamr-man in front of him had several components emitting high levels of contamination response.
This ant that he had at least four or more weapon-like Combat-modules capable of threatening those below Decree-level professionals.
The man he was looking at was just an ordinary spaceship pilot.
And now, outside the window behind Lu Ping’an, was the starry sky.
The spaceship itself was a product of universe flight technology not relying on a Deity.
Although, the poor devil inside that activated engine could well be another kind of man-made Deity in a different sense….
“…That’s actually more outrageous than borrowing the power of the Deity itself.
Deities of that tier might just be one among their species mbers or even potentially just a useful set of Tools.”
