Chapter 144 Everything has a price

Since the end of the college competition, Lu Changsheng has returned to his original nature.

If he can stay at home, he will never go out. If he can lie down, he will never stand.

Be it Sun City or Yaoguang City.

For him, it is just the difference between sleeping on a hotel bed and a folding chair.

"Boss Lu! You have been sleeping for a few days!"

"Get up quickly!"

"It's a pity not to have fun while you are young!"

Hongye pulled Lu Changsheng up from the soft big bed and kept shaking his shoulders, but Lu Changsheng seemed to be sealed by the quilt and refused to leave.

In desperation, Hongye had to take the two little ones and enjoy the happy play time by herself.

The room was quiet again.

Unfortunately, Lu Changsheng still didn't get what he wanted.

"Ding dong, ding dong."

The annoying mobile phone ringtone sounded at an inappropriate time.

Lu Changsheng opened the message irritably and glanced at it impatiently.

The original sleepiness disappeared at once.

Lu Changsheng jumped up from the bed with some excitement, carefully confirmed the content of the message, and his expression gradually became serious.

......

Suburbs of Sun City.

A simple leisure villa with simple decoration stood quietly beside a huge artificial lake.

Occasionally, a few water birds flew over the lake, stirring up circles of delicate ripples and breaking the calmness of the water.

The lake water was clear and you could see the bottom, and occasionally you could see fish swimming leisurely in the water.

Lu Changsheng came here according to the address provided by the information.

There was already a doorman waiting outside the door, guiding him all the way to the villa.

There were already two people in the quiet and fragrant tea room, chatting casually.

Seeing Lu Changsheng coming, she turned her eyes to him at the same time.

"Boss Lu! Come on, come on, sit here." Xia Lin patted the seat next to her and greeted him enthusiastically.

The man who was making tea was someone Lu Changsheng had never seen before.

Judging from his appearance, the man was about 35 years old, with sharp and vicious eyes, three-dimensional facial features, and a complete elite look.

He seemed to be trying to hide his edge and try to make himself look more friendly.

"Hello, Mr. Lu, it's our first meeting."

"I am the head of the technical department of Sun City, my name is Tu Lei."

Tu Lei stood up, respectfully pulled out a bench for Lu Changsheng, and waved to the doorman, indicating that the entire manor should be cleared and no one should be allowed to approach.

"Did you send me that message just now?" Lu Changsheng sat down unceremoniously, looked at Xia Lin with some doubts, and turned his eyes back to Tu Lei.

"You said you can turn Ergou...Niu Jiashun back to the human race, is that true?"

"We haven't tried it, but from a theoretical perspective, it is very possible." Tu Lei evenly scalded the teacup with boiling hot water, refilled a cup of new tea, and made a "please" gesture to Lu Changsheng.

"In the past few days, Director Xia and I have discussed this issue seriously. We both think that it is very feasible. That's why I dare to call you, Boss Lu, to listen to our plan."

Lu Changsheng stuck two fingers to the teacup and gently rotated it. He didn't say anything, but just stared at the man he met for the first time.

Ture knew that Lu Changsheng had not left, so he must be interested, and he didn't dare to keep him in suspense.

He carefully took out a metal box from behind.

He entered a long string of passwords before opening it.

In the metal box, a small piece of heart-shaped instrument was expanding and contracting regularly. The surface engraved with complicated needle maps had faint energy fluctuations and was steadily dissipating.

"This is the latest technology of our Sun City, [Artificial Crystal Core]."

"At present, our limit is only to create a fourth-order crystal core, although compared with the real crystal core, it has less than 50% of the energy."

"But with the advancement of technology, I believe that sooner or later, artificial crystal cores will be able to completely replace the crystal cores of the demon race and become the cornerstone for promoting the progress of our human race."

"This is an epoch-making invention that will change the fate of all human races in the future."

Lu Changsheng was stunned.

He looked at Xia Lin with some suspicion, and the latter nodded seriously, not at all lively and cheerful as usual.

If it is true as Tu Lei said, such artificial crystal cores can be mass-produced.

Then the lack of cultivation resources, the biggest problem that plagues the development of the human race, can really be solved.

Give the human race a little time, and a large number of strong people will emerge.

Those children with low levels of superpowers but powerful superpowers can also get enough resources to practice.

The number of human strongmen will increase exponentially.

Such technology is indeed not an exaggeration to say that it will change the future of the human race.

"I don't quite understand, what does this have to do with Niu Jiashun turning back into a human?" Lu Changsheng quickly calmed down his surprise. He did not forget why he was here today.

"To solve Niu Jiashun's problem, [Artificial Crystal Core] is only one part of it, and the power of the Creation Bureau is still needed to complete it."

"Director Xia, I have to trouble you to help explain the specific technical problems."

Toure refilled Xia Lin's tea.

"After the failure of the audio suppression experiment, we conducted in-depth research based on the final data feedback of the experimental subjects."

"We found that the root cause of the death of the experimental subjects was the crystal core in their bodies."

"Those crystal nuclei are the culprits that turned them into monsters, but they are also a key part of maintaining their vital signs."

"While suppressing the audio to restore their physical bodies, it also killed the demon crystal core in the body, losing the energy supply of the crystal core, leading to eventual death."

"If we have artificial crystal nuclei, we can replace the crystal nuclei in their bodies in advance before using the suppressed audio, and then use the suppressed audio to restore their physical bodies."

"In this way, the problem of losing the supply of crystal nuclei during the recovery process can be solved."

"The artificial crystal nuclei are completely lifeless iron lumps. They will not have any side effects on the human body, and they will not be transformed into demon servants again."

“This plan is extremely feasible and I think it’s worth a try.”

Charlene's voice became more urgent as she spoke, obviously extremely interested in the artificial crystal core.

As a scientific researcher, she understands the value of this thing better than Lu Changsheng.

If we can combine the power of the Fortune Bureau and Sun City, we can develop the [artificial crystal core] to the extreme.

It’s not just the practice of awakened people.

Crystal core assistance can be used in all aspects of human life.

Crystal core cars, crystal core power plants, and even crystal core cannons!

The value it brings is simply immeasurable.

"If this kind of technology is known to the demon clan, I'm afraid they will kill everyone who knows it regardless of the cost."

"You told me such important information and took such a big risk. You can't possibly just want to be a good person, right?"

"What on earth are you..."

"What do you want?"
