Starting From The Equal Opportunity To Become A Saint

Chapter 78: Psychic Technology, Intellect-based Evolvers!

The next day.

Liu Zimo did not continue the wilderness training with his father and uncle.

As for his father, with his invisibility ability and the [Blink] skill, even if he encountered high-level warriors or monsters, he could at least stand undefeated and not worry about his safety.

Moreover, Liu Zimo had arranged a well-informed wind and fire dual-element evolver by his father's side, providing an extra layer of protection.

As for his cousin and younger brother, their combat awareness and martial arts cultivation had reached a basic standard. Under normal circumstances, as long as they didn't do anything foolish or have bad luck, surviving in Luozhou would not be difficult.

Therefore, Liu Zimo, who was no longer willing to continue being a babysitter, gave them the opportunity to choose their own way of survival.

If they wanted to join the military, he could personally recommend them to the military department, whether it was following Liang Luojun or Yang Sisi, it would be enough to ensure their safety.

If they wanted to become free demon hunters in the city or join a certain faction, there would be no problem either. Liu Zimo had a way to help them live better.

The result.

Liu Zimo was not surprised by Liu Zihao's choice. This kid chose to join the military without hesitation, filled with passionate blood.

This was also a common choice among many young people in this era who still had a burning passion in their hearts, so it was not unexpected.

However, Uncle Zhao Hongzhang's choice truly surprised Liu Zimo.

As an engineering graduate who had lived for over thirty years, Zhao Hongzhang said that he didn't actually like martial arts and didn't have any talent in that area.

If it weren't for the need to survive in the apocalypse, he wouldn't have chosen to learn martial arts at all.

Compared to fighting and battling monsters outside the city, what he really wanted to do was research.

Especially with the arrival of the monster calamity and the complete shutdown of all electricity and communication devices on Earth, Zhao Hongzhang felt that he should devote himself to the research of new energy in this new era.

To create history, to change the present!

"Since all the electronic technology we currently possess can no longer be used, why can't we develop a completely new kinetic and communication system?"

"Whether it's psychic abilities, spiritual energy, or the internal energy cultivated by martial artists, they are all special forms of energy."

"They may be different from electricity, but as long as we discover their laws and characteristics, they can still be harnessed and utilized!"

This was the argument Zhao Hongzhang made to Liu Zimo when asked about his plans and choices.

He wanted to devote all his energy to the research of these new types of energy.

He wanted to establish a completely new kinetic energy system and restore the completely paralyzed transportation and communication systems!

If possible, he even wanted to create a new weapon system to help the people of Daxia better resist the monsters outside the city!

"Scientifically advance the nation, technologically strengthen the nation!"

"No matter when, technology will always be the primary productive force!"

"What Daxia needs is not just warriors who can go out of the city and hunt monsters with weapons, but also engineers like me who want to research technology, change the current situation, and even save the world!"

As Uncle Zhao became more and more excited while speaking, he soon became completely enthusiastic.

While speaking, he gestured wildly, his face turning red, and even his saliva almost sprayed three meters away.

Liu Zimo quietly avoided the direction of Uncle Zhao's saliva spray, but couldn't help but look at his uncle with newfound respect.

He really didn't expect it.

His uncle, who usually seemed unremarkable and ran a struggling small technology company, actually had the heart of a technologically advanced nation.

What's more...

The scientific research that his uncle mentioned was all real and had achieved great results in the future federal nation.

Especially the daily application of psychic abilities, which had been successfully deciphered by the academician Meng Yansong of Daxia in the twelfth year after the apocalypse, allowing it to be used by humans like electricity before the disaster.

Since then, instant communication had been reestablished between the major cities of the human race.

Various airships, spacecraft, and various psychic weapons and psychic missiles had also been developed.

It was also since then that the human race federation truly became a federation, and the human race established a unified alliance for offense and defense.

If it weren't for the stronger monsters from the Illusionary Demon Realm suppressing them at that time, and the power of psychic weapons was far from being able to kill group-level or commander-level monsters, the human race federation might have already realized the dream of annihilating all the demon races.

Therefore, in this era, no one understood the power of scientific research better than Liu Zimo.

The phrase "technologically strengthen the nation" was not just an empty slogan, even in the apocalypse.

Moreover, after unexpectedly discovering the existence of the Soul-Devouring Worm clan in this world, Liu Zimo even began to suspect.

In the previous life, the reason why the psychic technology of the human race did not undergo much change and progress in the following eighteen years might not be because the scientists of the human race had run out of ideas and innovation, but because they were secretly controlled by the Soul-Devouring Worms and had no control over their own actions!

Now, seeing that his uncle had such foresight and was willing to invest in similar scientific research projects, Liu Zimo had no reason not to support him.

"Dear nephew, let me tell you a little secret that even your father doesn't know!"

Seeing that Liu Zimo didn't seem to oppose his choice, Zhao Hongzhang stepped forward and whispered in Liu Zimo's ear:

"During the last spiritual baptism, although I didn't awaken any special abilities like your father, I found that my logical thinking and memory abilities have increased by more than tenfold!"

"A few days ago, when I had a fever, it was because my brain couldn't adapt to the sudden increase in thinking speed, causing a protective shutdown, which resulted in my weakened body and persistent high fever!"

"Now, especially after my martial arts cultivation broke through to the Copper Skin realm, my physical fitness has greatly improved, and my mental will has become extremely resilient."

"This morning, when I woke up, I found that I could perfectly control the sudden increase in intelligence and IQ in my brain!"

"I can confidently say that my current level of intelligence and thinking speed has long surpassed Einstein by several times. It would be a huge waste not to engage in related scientific research!"

Liu Zimo was extremely surprised and looked at Zhao Hongzhang. He didn't expect his nephew to have such an experience!

No wonder he felt that his nephew's hair had become much thinner during this period.

After all, it was the clever intelligence that had taken over the high ground, leaving his scalp almost bald!

Liu Zimo didn't doubt Zhao Hongzhang's words.

Because this kind of lie could easily be exposed, his nephew shouldn't be so childish as to joke about such things.

Moreover, these abilities were all strange and varied. Some could increase height, some could enhance strength, some could improve vision, and so on.

Perhaps the special ability awakened by his nephew was specifically for increasing intelligence!

"Hmm?!"

"Oh my!"

"What did I just see?!"

"A newly transformed intellectual evolutionist?!"

"Is this a joke?!"

"The spiritual energy in this realm has just been born, and someone has already awakened their intellect, possessing thinking and computational abilities far beyond ordinary people?!"

At this moment, Yao Lingling in Liu Zimo's sea of consciousness became excited and active again, with waves of thoughts surging:

"I have to admit that although the human race is despicable, ignorant, and weak, and they love internal strife, they are unparalleled in terms of innovative thinking."

"And among them, these intellectual evolutionists are one in a million!"

"Although most intellectual evolutionists are weak in strength and have weak bodies, even a low-level monster can easily devour and kill them."

"However, their level of intelligence far surpasses their peers. Whether it's scientific research, improving or creating new martial arts techniques, they can achieve twice the result with half the effort!"

"If these intellectual evolutionists are allowed to grow and develop, the harm they will bring to the Yao race will be no less than that of a sacred-level warrior!"

"Therefore, in the Illusory Yao Realm, all Yao races, upon discovering intellectual evolutionists, will immediately kill them at all costs, without giving them any chance to grow!"

"Even we, the Devouring Spirit Larvae, were specially instructed by the ancestor not to spare any intellectual evolutionists among the human race before being sent here!"

"Ah ah ah! So annoying! Why am I so unlucky to encounter a perverted spiritual cultivator as soon as I arrive in this realm!"

"Otherwise, the credit for successfully killing or enslaving an intellectual evolutionist would be enough for me to directly obtain all the resources and spiritual power needed to evolve into an adult from the ancestor!"

Yao Lingling was frustrated, pounding her chest and stamping her feet, once again lamenting her ill-fated luck, bleeding with heartache.

In the Illusory Yao Realm, discovering and successfully killing an intellectual evolutionist from the human race was a tremendous achievement.

Whether it was the Yao Lord or the ancestor of the Devouring Spirit Larvae, they would reward it with a massive amount of resources, and they would also regard it highly and focus on nurturing it.

And now, a living human intellectual evolutionist was standing in front of it without any defenses.

But it could only be trapped in this sea of consciousness, looking up at the unreachable, feeling helpless!

This was an achievement comparable to a sacred-level warrior!

It could even allow it to directly evolve into an adult, and even have the opportunity to step into the realm of a king with abundant resources!

But it was all missed in vain!

Yao Lingling was overwhelmed with grief, unable to control her thoughts, and howled to the sky:

"Ah ah ah!"

"So annoying! Why am I so unlucky?!"

"It was clearly an easily obtainable achievement, but I just can't reach it. Is there any other Devouring Spirit Larva in this world who is more miserable and pitiful than me?!"
