Watching the screen before him slowly fade away, Hermes's mood brightened.
Although his aptitude was still gradually improving thanks to Heaven rewards diligence, it was still a long way from undergoing a qualitative transformation.
In other words, Herta and the others were basically on the same level as him now.
Recruiting one would already be a huge profit; recruiting two would be an absolute windfall!
"Lord Hermes, is this Lady Herta very special?"
Buer snapped out of her working state. Ever since the communication began, she had noticed that his attitude had clearly changed somewhat.
"Buer, you don't know what the Genius Club represents, so it's only natural that you'd be confused."
In a particularly good mood, Hermes began explaining it to her.
"Zandar I. Suwahara, who was said to have created the Aeon of Erudition..."
"Silent Lord Polka Kakami, who created the Domain of Omniscience, controlled the Causality Chain, and could manipulate all probability events..."
"Lilta, who formulated the universe's universal laws and the [Nine-Character Algorithm], advancing galactic science..."
"Rupert, who created the [Anti-Organic Equation] and sparked the Automaton War that swept across the universe..."
"Every single one of them sounds absurdly powerful!"
Buer's little body stiffened as her eyes widened, making her look even cuter.
Buer silently calculated in her heart what she herself could accomplish at her peak.
With the help of the World Tree and her Authority, she might be able to learn countless fields of knowledge in an extremely short time, allowing her scholarly attainments to barely catch up with these geniuses.
But it would be difficult for her to truly catch up to someone like Lord Hermes...
In such a short time, even Sumeru's Great Wisdom Lord of Virtuous Law had no choice but to admit that these geniuses were beings born to crush ordinary people.
They were like black holes of knowledge, different from the second before with every passing moment.
Perhaps one could use external means to accumulate knowledge at the fastest possible rate, but once one truly clashed with such figures in the realm of knowledge, one would discover that they could absorb their opponent's strengths at incredible speed, integrate them into themselves, and ultimately surpass them!
In just a short time, Buer, who possessed wisdom beyond that of mortals, had come to understand this deeply.
With a smile, Hermes pinched Buer's cheeks, ignoring the faintly reddened protest of her pointed ears, then turned and opened the Chat Group screen.
Paper Angel: "Just today, Amegakure sent someone to negotiate. Stay alert. "
Paper Angel: "This time, I will make Hanzo of the Salamander pay the price!"
Paper Angel: "Five Thunder Talismans filling the sky. "
Multi-Fandom Great Female Protagonist: "As expected of the Six Hundred Billion Explosive Tag Rich Woman. If you ever got hold of six hundred billion Five Thunder Talismans in the future, wouldn't even the Ninja World be overturned?"
Imagining the deterrent power of the Six Hundred Billion Rich Woman, even Luo Qianqiu clicked her tongue in amazement.
Thinking about it now, with sufficient knowledge, even the Rinnegan would probably pale in comparison before this rich woman.
Mount Hua Sect Leader: "Are talismans supposed to be drawn like this?"
Ning Qingyu was deeply shaken as he watched the Five Thunder Talismans dancing through the sky.
Though the Mount Hua Sect primarily practiced martial arts, it was ultimately a lineage descended from the Dao Lineage of Quanzhen.
As a Wuxia World with internal energy, the talismans in this world were rather weak. They could not even throw out a Fireball Talisman, though there were still some talismans for calming the mind, warding a home, and the like, even if their effects were quite mediocre...
Thus, he had done some research into talisman drawing. Whenever one drew a talisman, even if one did not bathe and change clothes or set up an altar to perform rites, one at least had to calm one's mind and focus, right?
Multi-Fandom Great Female Protagonist: "While honest people are honestly drawing talismans stroke by stroke, the cheaters have already started taking unconventional routes."
Multi-Fandom Great Female Protagonist: "As far as I know, a disciple of the Maoshan Sect in one world even created a method of drawing talismans in midair. The talismans he fired were like machine-gun rounds—just as outrageous!"
Ning Qingyu did not understand, but he was deeply shaken.
Star Sea Traveler: "What has that Ninja World ever done to deserve being bombarded by six hundred billion Five Thunder Talismans?"
The power of a single Five Thunder Talisman was roughly equal to that of a small missile. What kind of concept was it for six hundred billion of them to explode at once?
Lumine felt that they could even challenge the Heavenly Principles.
Divine Chef: "Speaking of which, have any of you tried the lottery these past few days?"
It had to be said that Floze was undeniably a rich woman in the Chat Group.
As long as she purchased ingredients, she could use her cooking skills to turn them into dishes worth far more than the ingredients themselves. That was the added value of craftsmanship.
Multi-Fandom Great Female Protagonist: "Although I struck gold on my very first pull and got an SSR, I figured luck had to be conserved, so I saved up my points. I'll wait until I have good luck another day before trying again."
Phoenixes seemed to dance in Luo Qianqiu's eyes as she gazed up at the sky, her expression gleaming with eagerness.
After eating the Twilight Ancient Beast version of the Phoenix Fruit, her strength had expanded rapidly, so her pursuit of power had temporarily slowed.
Mount Hua Sect Leader: "I don't want to pull another Sunflower Manual. Helpless.jpg"
Star Sea Traveler: "I've collected quite a few strange things these past few days and exchanged them for a lot of points, but I haven't started pulling yet."
Lumine, well-versed in mystical theories, had already asked an Immortal to calculate an auspicious day for her. She had also learned a luck-changing ritual, intending to defy fate and smuggle herself into the European server.
Most Heinous Criminal in History: "I exchanged quite a few points too, but most of mine were direct trades rather than lottery draws."
Dragon was the leader of the Revolutionary Army. He instinctively rejected methods that relied on luck, especially since the previous lottery had left a lingering shadow in his heart...
Pioneering Wisdom: "@Sinnoh Champion, Metagross inspired me far more than I expected, so I specially upgraded the item."
Pioneering Wisdom: "Red Packet.jpg"
Cynthia claimed the red packet. When she saw the Chat Group's appraisal of it, her eyes immediately lit up.
[Item: Aura Converter] [A miraculous device capable of converting other forms of energy into aura through the converter.] [Note: This converter possesses super intelligence. It can independently assess energy conditions and continuously improve its conversion rate. Theoretically, it can reach a maximum of ninety percent!]
In essence, Aura Power was a force originating from living beings. Though it was remarkable, it could neither absorb other external energies to grow stronger nor, like psychic power, be improved through meditation and the tempering of one's mental strength.
The strength of Aura Power depended, on the one hand, on an Aura user's innate talent, and on the other, on tempering their will through experience and constantly breaking through their limits.
But no matter which method was used, there was always a limit!
With this Aura Converter, Cynthia would grow stronger at the fastest possible rate!
