In the end, Ye Feng still gave Ling Yi a Skill Stone.
For Ye Feng, a Skill Stone is a bit pricey, but he can still afford it now.
Of course, the Skill Stone Ye Feng gave Ling Yi couldn't possibly be a high-grade one.
The skill in the Skill Stone is called Meditation.
Like traditional National Martial Arts, it is one of the cheapest Skill Stone in Ye Feng's System Shop.
The Meditation skill can restore Divine Power and slowly increase the maximum Divine Power.
In Ye Feng's view, even if Ling Yi cultivated, it wouldn't significantly increase his strength.
However, Ye Feng overlooked one thing: Ling Yi was also cheating.
In Ye Feng's view, the Meditation skill, which did not increase strength, became a divine skill for Ling Yi after reaching level 5.
Most importantly, the skills created a positive synergy.
[ Meditation lv5] greatly enhances Ling Yi's Divine Power, and this powerful Divine Power, in turn, gives rise to a new ability: Telekinesis.
The increase in Divine Power, in turn, greatly amplified the Gang Jin.
To make a comparison with specific data, without the Meditation skill, Ling Yi's Gang Jin tentacles could extend up to about twenty meters.
After reaching level 5 in the Meditation skill, the Gang Jin Tentacles can extend up to a distance of one kilometer.
That's a huge increase.
With Ye Feng joining the team, the digging speed increased significantly.
Ye Feng would occasionally pull out some practical tools, such as a small cart or an electric Teleport belt.
"Do you have any plutonium-99?" Ling Yi asked Ye Feng during dinner that day.
"What plutonium-99?" Ye Feng asked blankly.
"A liquid metal."
"Do you think I'm Doraemon? No way." Ye Feng checked the system interface and then said with a sneer.
It's not that Ye Feng doesn't have it, it's just that this thing is too damn expensive; even if he sold himself, he couldn't afford it.
"By the way, what's the use of this thing?" Ye Feng asked curiously.
"With Plutonium-99, I can create an intelligent robot with Infinite Energy and the ability to Shapeshifting at will— the Ultimate Nullifier, TX, you know?"
"Wow, that's impressive? So, your cheat code seems to be on the tech side?" Ye Feng asked.
"What, you're not hiding the fact that you were cheating anymore?"
Ye Feng sighed, then shrugged and said, "I was already exposed before I even came here. If I want to survive, I have to reveal something. There are so Big Smarty in the live stream, I can't hide anything."
When the extreme cold struck, it caught Ye Han completely off guard.
At that time, he was on his way when a blizzard suddenly started, and the temperature plummeted, almost freezing him to death in the wilderness.
In order to survive, he could only exchange for a pendant from the System Shop.
This pendant cost Ye Feng almost all of his savings over a long period of time.
Thermostatic pendant can maintain a constant temperature in a space within a two-meter diameter radius.
However, it requires energy.
Having Spiritual Power consumes Spiritual Power; not having Spiritual Power consumes Internal Energy; not having Internal Energy consumes physical energy; not having physical energy consumes life force.
Does Ye Feng possess Spiritual Power? No. Does he have Internal Energy? Yes, but not much.
His Internal Energy allowed him to sustain himself for two hours, after which his physical strength began to wane.
Why did Ye Feng return to Ling Yi's place Luowang?
There was no other way; once he was completely exhausted, that would be his death day.
This caused Ye Feng, who was preparing to leave Gao City, to turn back halfway.
This is also the main reason why Ye Feng has become thin and haggard.
Was Ye Feng's cheat system weak? Of course not, it was because he was tricked by the temperature-controlled pendant.
This thing was not only ridiculously expensive, but it almost cost him his life.
At that time, Ye Feng could have easily solved the problem by exchanging for any fire-based ability.
Of course, we can't say that the constant-temperature pendant is garbage. Just because it's constant-temperature doesn't mean it's not. As long as you have enough energy, you can take a bath in magma or travel inside the sun.
The problem is, Ye Feng has no energy.
To put it bluntly, this temperature-regulating pendant is a magical artifact from the Immortal Cultivation Realm, and it consumes Spiritual Power.
One Spirit Stone can last a long time.
Unfortunately, Ye Feng couldn't afford even a single Spirit Stone back then.
He really dug his own grave.
After a few days with Ling Yi, Ye Feng finally managed to recover some of his losses.
Ling Yi's guess was correct; Ye Feng's system is related to reputation.
As Ye Feng's cheating was exposed, his reputation also soared.
Moreover, right now, he and Ling Yi are the only two live streamers in the entire Doomsday Drill, so their high popularity makes it easier to gain reputation.
After accumulating enough reputation, Ye Feng's first priority was to exchange it for Spirit Stone.
Ye Feng no longer cares about the fact that his cheat program was exposed.
If he accumulates reputation for a few more days, he can exchange it for a cultivation technique. After the hundred days are up, he might even be able to exchange it for a magic weapon.
By then, even if he returns to the real world, he will have enough power to protect himself.
So what if it's exposed? It doesn't matter.
"Don't try to take advantage of me during this last period. I need to save money to buy something big," Ye Feng said to Ling Yi.
Although Ling Yi's ability to help people improve their skill levels was quite Gravity, Ling Yi Ye Feng ultimately Dharma Manifestation.
What if there's a huge pit?
From the moment I met Ling Yi, I was tricked out of two Skill Stone.
Well, the worst part is that I willingly walked right into their trap, which is really frustrating.
There are less than 20 days left until the 100th day.
It's still extremely cold outside, with temperatures dropping to around -70 degrees Celsius.
The outside world is no longer suitable for human habitation.
"I estimate that the extreme cold weather will last for a long time, and there won't be any Changes for at least 20 days," Ye Feng said, changing the subject.
"Yes!" Ling Yi nodded.
"Then let's try to build the ecosystem within 20 days," Ling Yi said.
"Is this necessary?" Ye Feng glanced at Sariminglan, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, and asked in a low voice.
"I just wanted to verify some things, and also gain some experience."
"At least next time I encounter a similar apocalyptic scenario, I can easily build a closed, independent ecological park and survive for a hundred days without any trouble."
Ye Feng nodded. Although he felt that Ling Yi was wasting his time, he didn't say anything more.
I'm just killing time anyway.
Then he asked, "Do you think this world is real or fake?"
"We'll have to wait a hundred days to find out."
Just as Ye Feng was about to say something, Sariminglan, who had finished her work, came over and stopped talking.
In the following period, Ling Yi and Ye Feng devoted all their energy to building the ecological park.
In five days, the two of them painstakingly dug out a separate space that was fifty meters wide, one hundred meters long, and three meters high.
Ten days later, Ling Yi completed the irrigation system, sunlight Simulation System, and constant temperature system using the available tools and materials, and finished the first crop of crops.
The crop cultivated was Potato.
Nineteen days later, the Potato successfully sprouted.
This means that this simple ecological park can be considered a preliminary success.
As long as the Potato grow successfully and are harvested, it will ensure the long-term survival of Sariminglan.
That morning, around seven o'clock.
A countdown simultaneously appeared before Ling Yi and Ye Feng's eyes.
The countdown seemed to be permanently positioned in front of me; no matter how I looked, it remained Levitation directly in front of me.
That's not the point. The point is that as the countdown began, the whole world seemed to freeze, as if a freeze button had been pressed.
Sariminglan was carrying a plate of food and was walking towards them.
She had a sweet smile on her face.
Ling Yi and Ye Feng exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of seriousness in each other's eyes.
At this moment, doubts about the true nature of this world began to resurface in their minds.
Is this really a real world?
If it were a virtual world, that would be one thing, but if it were the real world, what immense power would be needed to freeze time and space?
Is it the power of technology, or the power of the mystical?
Meanwhile, during the Doomsday Drill program, the two hosts' live streams were completely shut down, leaving only the main live stream of the program.
As the countdown ended, the two figures vanished.
But the world did not disappear because of the two people's disappearance; it remained in a state of time-space freeze.
When Ling Yi came to his senses, he found that his consciousness had returned to the glass dome.
However, the glass cover had already been opened, and Ling Yi Perception his own condition and found that he did not feel any discomfort.
I checked my system interface, and the skill list is normal.
The presence of skills such as National Martial Arts, Meditation, Extreme Speed, and Electricity Control relieved Ling Yi.
My body felt damp and sticky, which was very uncomfortable.
This is the liquid left over from the culture medium.
Ling Yi flipped over and jumped out of the coffin-like glass enclosure, just in time to see Ye Feng sitting up from inside the enclosure as well.
Just then, a figure in a white coat opened the side door and walked in.
"Please follow me, gentlemen!"
Ling Yi and Ye Feng exchanged a glance, then silently followed the man in the white coat out of the underground base.
Afterwards, under this person's arrangement, the two changed out of their clothes, which were covered in chips and wire sockets, took a shower, and then changed back into their own clothes.
Finally, they were led to a room that resembled a conference room.
Ling Yi saw several familiar figures in the room.
The three elderly men at the head of the group were none other than Yu Sheng, Zheng Hu, and Feng Zhenqing, three high-ranking military Big Shot.
Feng Zhenqing sat in the middle, with Yu Sheng and Zheng Hu on his left and right sides respectively. To Yu Sheng's right was Teng Ren, the president of Dawei Technology Company.
Upon seeing Ling Yi enter, Feng Zhenqing and the other two stood up and gave Ling Yi and Ye Feng a military salute.
This scene shocked Ling Yi and Ye Feng.
Ye Feng and Ling Yi instinctively returned an awkward military salute.
"Don't be shy, have a seat!" Feng Zhenqing smiled slightly and said kindly to the two of them when he saw this.
"I'm sure you have many questions now, and we will answer them one by one."
Seeing that Ling Yi and Ye Feng hadn't spoken first, Feng Zhenqing continued, "If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Don't hold back."
"Is the world we went to real or virtual?" Ye Feng asked first.
Feng Zhenqing didn't speak, but instead gestured for Teng Ren to proceed.
Teng Ren nodded, looking at Ling Yi and Ye Feng, and said, "It's the Quantum Realm..."
