Chapter 9: The Power of Eating (I)
A few days have passed, and Hide is already roughly familiar with the life of this shijie, after all, his lifestyle is very simple now, he gets up every morning to work, and because it is a simple job of the short odd job type, he has a lot of free time to spend after finishing in the afternoon and receiving his daily salary.
"Head, old rules. "After dinner, the neighbor Magick came to see Hide as usual, and I don't know why he and Hide got along very well, so basically every one or two days he would find Hide to go to the tavern to drink and take his sister by the way. The leisure and entertainment life of this shijie is very monotonous, and most people, especially ordinary people, are used to going to the tavern to drink some wine and chat, play cards, play chess, gamble a little money, and so on.
Haven rarely turns down Madjik's invitations, and of course he doesn't go to play cards, drink, or even pick up girls. Because the tavern is a huge crossroads of information, it is not uncommon to hear and witness some useful information in such places. And proper relaxation is good for both body and mind, so going to the tavern with Magick is an important activity for Haven to kill two birds with one stone.
Magick is a talkative, and he's in his forties after all, so Hede likes to talk to him, and from these inconsequential small talks, he usually gets a lot of useful information.
"I said Haide, are you thinking about your cultivation direction now?" After a few gossips, the baby-faced little uncle Majik asked casually.
Magick wasn't too clear about Hyde's progress, although he knew that Hyde would squeeze out some money to buy some low-level Warcraft crystal nuclei in his spare time, but this Shijie's ordinary people often did this. Even if you don't want to live a bloody combat life, most people will generally take low-level demonic beast crystal nuclei to enhance themselves, not to mention anything else, at least the body is stronger, and it is more advantageous to do some physical work.
"Well, uncle, do you have any suggestions? Why don't we discuss it. Head suggested.
"Okay, as far as I'm concerned, I think it's more suitable for the route of the strengthening system, although you have passed the important early growth period of Hade, but the effect of strengthening the body is still good, at least it's not easy to get sick. For example, I know some of the basic fortified crystal nucleus consumption formulas that are commonly used by us civilians. ”
Majik is still relatively considerate, and in his opinion, Hade, who has spent so much time in a slave camp in the Elven Empire, probably won't have any experience in this regard.
"Well, I'm still thinking about it. It is true that Ved has not yet figured out his own cultivation route, but in the past few days, as far as he knows, there are big problems with the several more typical cultivation methods commonly used by ordinary citizens to improve their strength.
For example, the strengthening route suggested by Magick will either lead to short stature, or it will cause the body to stop growing or even shrinking, and Hade does not have the consciousness of becoming Snow White's dwarf. There are very few intensive cultivation routes that do not affect the changes in body form.
Alienated cultivation route...... It's true that Hede is a fraternity beast ear control.,I like the cat woman fox girl in various anime games or something.,But liking the beast ear girl doesn't mean that you also want to grow a pair of beast side ears and a beast tail......
Besides, the cultivation routes known to these citizens were too limited and had little potential for development, so Hade didn't think much about it at all. What he was currently thinking about was how to choose the most suitable one from the various advanced cultivation paths contained in his unique knowledge.
"The cultivation routes that we ordinary citizens can access are very limited, and to be honest, the range of choices is not very wide, although there are some side effects, but compared to the abilities that can be obtained, it is not a big deal. Magick vaguely guessed that Hede was somewhat resistant to alienation.
"Yes, yes, but I think the cultivation methods of the nobles with mild side effects are better. Hade followed his mouth.
"Haha, that's of course, but how can we ordinary people get in touch with those specialized cultivation secrets so easily? As far as I know, even if it is a very famous adventurer, the route cultivated by the hunter can only reach a combat class of around LV50 at most. And those elite children of wealthy and aristocratic families can reach this level in their teens, because the support of the family can allow them not to worry about the large amount of crystal nuclei consumed, and their unique high-grade crystal nucleus formula with their unique cultivation inheritance can make them get twice the result with half the effort, of course, we ordinary citizens can't compare with them. ”
"Uncle, do you know what special cultivation types those wealthy nobles have?" asked Hade with interest.
"You asked the right person about this, then I will tell you today, first of all, the ...... of the eight major families who are currently guarding the borders of the empire." Magik spoke to Hade with great interest about what he had seen.
Head listened intently to Madjik's words, and from these distorted-sounding rumors, he usually got a lot of correct information. This information not only allowed him to confirm his conjectures, but most importantly, it could be used as a reference for the direction of cultivation he had chosen.
Although the Olympian Empire was founded only for more than 200 years, it does not mean that the rich nobles of the empire have shallow historical origins, because after the fall of the previous dynasty, some families who stood in the right position still continued and gained more power. Although there were many differences in the resources and military force that the two eras focused on, the ancient aristocracy, which originally had various foundations, was clearly superior in all respects.
Of course, nobles like the West family in Roland City, which has only been passed down for three or four generations and has a history of only more than two hundred years, most of them made great achievements in the early days of the empire, and of course they also gained extraordinary power, but they may be slightly inferior to those ancient wealthy families with deep roots in some aspects.
In any case, the upper nobility of the Olympian Empire was extremely powerful, and not only had huge financial and material resources, but also had the most powerful military force. In fact, it is also because of this extraordinary force that their power, wealth and status are ensured, so in order to maintain this superior status and power, the nobles will of course strictly control the circulation of various cultivation methods.
As a result, the cultivation methods that circulate among ordinary people are all very low-level cultivation methods, and generally speaking, the financial resources of ordinary citizens are very limited, and they cannot obtain a large number of medium and high-level crystal nuclei as food formulas, so the strength of ordinary citizens will always be generally limited to a certain stage. Even if there were a small number of geniuses who were one in a million to find a more effective crystal nucleus diet recipe and cultivation method on their own, and obtain higher achievements, they would be recruited and absorbed by various aristocratic systems to limit the spread of this information.
In fact, in any shijie, the state apparatus uses various methods to limit the development of individual force. Shijie, who is a superman, is actually the most dangerous and unstable. At least this won't change much if a Shijie's civilization hasn't developed to a corresponding extent.
This situation is very similar to the shijie before the Black Crossing, for example, in some countries you can have guns, but you can't have fighters, tanks, aircraft carriers......
However, Hade wanted to know this information in order to confirm that the secrets he knew were the same as the basic situation of this shijie, so as to confirm the usefulness of his unique knowledge.
Although he knew a lot of high-end or even top-level crystal nucleus formulas that could increase the absorption effect by more than ten times, and he also knew a lot of theoretical skill training methods, there were a few problems that prevented him from following these paths now.
First, none of these top-of-the-line crystal nucleus formulas had yet to be proven, and Hade wasn't sure if these things that had been projected into his mind in an unknown way would really work in this shijie. In fact, this is only a minor problem, after all, the low-level crystal nuclei that are needed at the beginning will not have too many side effects.
Second, most of those particularly top-level cultivation inheritances were monopolized by the wealthy nobles of the empire, and following the same route with these families with huge power and wealth would cause a lot of trouble.
For example, if Blade knows a certain top-level cultivation route, he only needs to take low-level lizard-like demonic beast crystal nuclei at the beginning, and in the middle and late stages, he can grow into a "dragon veiner" who surpasses the strength of king-level dragon-type demonic beasts, but the "dragon vein" is the secret of the bottom cultivation inheritance of the Degens family, one of the four giants of the imperial capital. What happens to a civilian who has nothing to do with them and shows signs of becoming a "dragon veiner" years later?
Thirdly, and this is a more important point, Hade has no training foundation in martial arts and magic manipulation, to be precise, he has no good foundation. The only sport he had more experience in his last life was probably broadcast gymnastics.
Knowing how to punch someone is not the same thing as actually throwing a fist to hit someone, and most combat classes require practicing various techniques for using magical martial arts from an early age. Hide didn't have that much time to slowly start from scratch, so he had to choose a cultivation lineage that was relatively less skill-oriented.
