Global Game: I Have Portable Store

Su Changxing obviously immediately heard the implication in Lu Yu’s words, regardless of how things are, he believes those who suddenly appeared are the culprits.

”What’s with that Bronze Tree? Was it distributed from above Team 17?” He didn’t dwell on the previous topic but asked instead.

Although Team 17 had long been renamed, he was still accustomed to calling it that, so he just went along with it.

Of course, this wasn’t important either.

Lu Yu picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip, and seemed a bit silent: ”Yes, the Inheritance Tree, it can gather Extraordinary Power, turn ordinary people into Extraordinary individuals, and make it easier for the extraordinary to advance.”

Su Changxing furrowed his brow: ”Do you think this thing can turn you into a Tier Seven Extraordinary?”

This language, like a blade, plunged Lu Yu into complete silence, the more truthful the words, the more they stirred him.

He felt as though the man before him had seen through him, or rather, he never hid it from the beginning.

”Extraordinary individuals grow strong by drawing nourishment from the corpses of the powerful, this so-called powerful can be narrowly defined, or broadly defined.”

”Inheritance Tree? It sounds like a scam, later you take your people to uproot it.”

In Su Changxing’s understanding, the extraordinary themselves are already a kind of order in this world, and there’s no need to gild the lily, it could only be a burden.

Moreover, he saw malevolence from this Bronze Tree, a kind of pure malice, wanting to treat everyone like chives.

Others couldn’t see clearly, but he immediately spotted the problem, with his Eye of Data, most things are simple and clear before him.

Lu Yu’s face twitched, showing a look of disbelief: ”Uproot it?”

Su Changxing affirmed: ”Yes, uproot it, this is roughly useless, uprooting it is the best.”

Waves surged in Lu Yu’s heart, he never expected Su Changxing to be so decisive, such strong confidence, it was the first time he saw it in a person, perhaps he hadn’t seen Su Changxing many times, but each time might have brought huge changes.

”Okay, I’ll take people to uproot this Bronze Tree later. Though it’s grown so robust, it might take some effort.” Lu Yu exhaled and said.

Su Changxing asked again: ”Who sent this tree?”

Lu Yu answered without much thought: ”Just over a month ago, people from above Team 17 specifically sent it over, saying the Inheritance Tree should be planted in the middle of the gathering place.”

Then, Lu Yu took people to uproot this huge Bronze Tree little by little.

During this process, a large number of people in the gathering place came to watch, all looking on with a lively attitude.

At this moment, a dark-faced man ran over from outside in a hurry, shouting:

”Leader Lu, this is the Inheritance Tree, a task assigned from above, why are you uprooting it?”

Others who followed also expressed deep misunderstanding of Lu Yu’s actions, after all, this tree was their hope of advancement.

Lu Yu said coldly, waving his hand: ”You don’t need to care, this thing can’t stay... we have to uproot it today.”

The dark-faced man was even more puzzled upon hearing Lu Yu’s words, not understanding why Lu Yu insisted on uprooting the Inheritance Tree, trying to persuade:

”I heard people in the East District broke through to Tier Seven as Extraordinary individuals relying on the Inheritance Tree... Old Lu, this is an opportunity, once gone, it’s gone.”

Lu Yu’s expression changed, and he said sternly: ”This is not my idea, it’s an order from above saying we must uproot this tree, so we have to do it, you should understand what I mean.”

Su Changxing was watching from the side, so he had to say it like this.

The dark-faced man was more bewildered, this Bronze Tree was certainly not distributed from above Team 17, they were in the middle of a war, with no time for this.

In reality, he and Lu Yu conspired to transport it from the East District, planting it in the gathering place, hoping to use it to reach Tier Seven.

Has something unexpected happened?

The dark-faced man glanced around, spotting Su Changxing’s unfamiliar face, instinctively becoming vigilant.

At this time, Yi Xiaotian happened to see Su Changxing, also among the crowd, and approached to say:

”Mr. Su, you’re likely a Tier Seven Extraordinary, right?”

He previously learned from Fang Muping’s conversation that Su Changxing’s surname was Su, so he greeted him like this.

Su Changxing looked at the slightly plump and red-cheeked young man, with some impression, and nodded, saying:

”Almost.”

Yi Xiaotian introduced himself: ”Mr. Su, my name is Yi Xiaotian, although I’m only a Tier Nine Extraordinary, I’m the best fighter here.”

His tone carried a sense of proud boasting.

Su Changxing smiled and said, ”Leader Lu wants to uproot this tree, and I see many people have opinions. Aren’t you concerned?”

Yi Xiaotian looked up at the already toppled Bronze Tree and shook his head, saying, ”Concerned about what? Before it arrived, I was Tier Nine; after it arrived, I am still Tier Nine. There hasn’t been any change at all.”

”I think instead of placing hope in such an odd-looking tree, it would be better to seek guidance from the gentleman.”

Su Changxing seemed thoughtful, ”You think I’m more useful than this tree?”

Yi Xiaotian nodded confidently, ”Of course, you are a Tier Seven Extraordinary, and on the frontline battleground, you are a top master.”

”If it weren’t for my current lack of strength, I would definitely go to the battlefield to make my name and fortune.”

Su Changxing’s face showed a strange expression: ”Make your name and fortune? You only want to become stronger to make your name and fortune?”

Yi Xiaotian smiled and said, ”Why else? In my view, isn’t life all about fame and fortune? Just that with the era changing, what we pursue has also changed.”

”I grew up as an orphan in an orphanage, with nothing to hold me back. Making my name and fortune is my pursuit.”

”However, it seems much simpler now. As long as one becomes a powerful Extraordinary, one can make their name and fortune. I am the strongest in Tier Nine, and when I become Tier Eight, I will be the strongest then too!”

Seeing Yi Xiaotian’s ambitious demeanor, Su Changxing fell into a brief silence, feeling that something seemed to have changed.

At the beginning, they lived just to survive, struggled in fear and despair, thinking first about how to live or how to help others survive, rather than making a name and fortune.

After so long, people have gradually started to adapt to this world, emerging from fear and despair to become genuine players.

Such change should be good, I suppose.

Su Changxing thought this over, feeling a bit bewildered, perceiving that seeing the truth is terrifying, yet not seeing the truth may be even more terrifying.

”Making a name and fortune is quite good. In this world, finding something to live for may make life easier,” he said lightly, his tone carrying a hint of approval.

Yi Xiaotian looked at Su Changxing expectantly and asked, ”Well, sir, can you tell me how to become stronger? You are the strongest person I’ve seen, so you must know.”

Due to the Doomsday Game, players on Blue Star actually have access to quite abundant resources, and theoretically, they can become stronger very quickly.

Su Changxing said seriously, ”Becoming stronger isn’t actually hard; it’s just a matter of accumulation. Fast or slow, it’s all accumulation, and as long as you can keep living, you can become stronger.”

This was the truth, without any concealment.

Yi Xiaotian seemed somewhat impatient, took a deep breath, and pursued further, ”Is there a faster way? Theoretically, if we can become stronger faster, then the probability of death will decrease.”

Su Changxing nodded, chuckling, ”That makes some sense. But everything requires a cost, which you should know as an Extraordinary.”

Yi Xiaotian said firmly, ”I don’t care about the cost; I only care about becoming stronger, becoming stronger faster, and then making a name for myself.”

”You might die.”

”I’m not afraid.”

”You might become a monster.”

”That doesn’t matter, isn’t that the same as dying?”

Su Changxing pondered a moment, speaking to this somewhat reckless young man, ”Extend your hand.”

”What’s going on?” Yi Xiaotian asked, puzzled, looking at Su Changxing.

Su Changxing smiled mysteriously, ”Don’t you want to become stronger? I’ll satisfy your wish now. Becoming stronger is a simple matter.”

Yi Xiaotian carefully observed Su Changxing’s expression. Such things sounded absurd to him, yet he believed it, inexplicably.

Trust might stem from a simple action, the belief from a word, without needing many reasons.

He extended his left hand to Su Changxing, palm upwards, revealing a palm with chaotic lines.

Su Changxing glanced at his palm and said, ”Chaotic palm lines suggest a rough person.”

Yi Xiaotian opened wide eyes, ”People like me aren’t suited to become an Extraordinary?”

Su Changxing shook his head, ”Not so; everyone has their place. It’s not about suitability but about whether you can understand yourself.”

”For a Low Tier Extraordinary, if one can understand themselves, understand their position, and iron it out, it’s akin to rising swiftly.”

He concentrated an Extraordinary Power into a solid form, like a strand of hair, and placed it in Yi Xiaotian’s palm.

Yi Xiaotian’s eyes widened abruptly, feeling an immense weight on his whole arm due to that hair-like thing, heavy as a thousand pounds.

When he couldn’t hold it and was about to let go, he felt that strand disappear, vanish into his palm, seemingly integrating within.
