Achievement and Annihilation
After the meal, Liu Yi wandered around Green Mountain Town again, taking in the changes.
He entered the Lin Vehicle Shop and found it filled with vehicles in an ancient style.
These vehicles ran on neither fuel nor electricity, relying entirely on formations and mechanisms.
They came in all shapes and sizes. Some had three rows of seats, like sedans from his previous life; others were much like motorhomes from his previous life.
The shopkeeper recognized Liu Yi at once and hurried over to greet him respectfully:
"Doctor Liu, these vehicles were all made by the Lin Vehicle Shop. They can run on True Power or Energy Points, and their quality is absolutely guaranteed! You can get in and take one for a test drive."
"Sure!" Curious, Liu Yi climbed into the vehicle that resembled a motorhome, with Little Yellow hopping in right behind him.
Following the instructions, he reached out and injected True Power to start the vehicle.
It was exceptionally simple to operate. He could control it with his thoughts, without fiddling with complicated mechanical parts.
It drove smoothly and effortlessly, and he couldn't feel a single bump inside.
But for people without Energy Points or with little strength, powering the vehicle consumed too much.
After trying it out, Liu Yi got out and asked directly, "How much is this one?"
The shopkeeper answered with a smile, "Ten thousand taels of silver, or just five thousand if you pay in Energy Points."
"I'll take one. I'll pay in Energy Points." Liu Yi placed his order without hesitation.
Come to think of it, he might not have much else these days, but Energy Points were the one thing he had in abundance.
Liu Yi drove his new vehicle through the streets of Green Mountain Town. Seeing the envious looks from pedestrians along the road, he couldn't help feeling a rush of satisfaction.
It let him experience the same thrill other people had felt driving luxury cars in his previous life.
He shook his head, pushing those thoughts aside, and drove straight out of town.
Beyond Green Mountain Town, the road changed. Only a short stretch was paved with cement; the rest was still a rutted dirt road.
Yet, remarkably, the vehicle didn't bounce at all as it drove over it.
Liu Yi only discovered after probing with his Divine Sense that the vehicle's mechanical design had not only been optimized.
A lightness formation had also been set up specifically to reduce the bumps. No wonder the ride was so comfortable.
Sure enough, the wisdom of ordinary people was immeasurable. With the right guidance, they could unleash tremendous creativity.
The vehicle sped down the road, golden rice stretching as far as the eye could see in the fields on either side.
In the fields, farmers used martial arts to harvest the rice with nimble movements.
They moved like lightning, harvesting a mu of land in the blink of an eye.
Immediately afterward, they channeled force into both hands and shook them, sending grains tumbling from the rice heads and rustling into burlap sacks.
Others brought their hoes down, overturning great clods of earth that crumbled to powder when they landed.
Still others used a technique like a heavenly maiden scattering flowers, tossing rice seedlings lightly into the paddies and finishing the transplanting in the blink of an eye.
The farming before his eyes was even more efficient than mechanized farming in his previous life.
The farmers moved nimbly, harvesting, threshing, tilling, and transplanting in one continuous flow, their movements too fast for the eye to follow.
Seeing Liu Yi staring at the fields, Little Yellow immediately came over to share some news:
"Master, thanks to all the research those people from the Shennong Sect have done, rice yields have reached 2,000 jin per mu. There's plenty of grain, so there's no need to worry about not having enough to eat!"
"I heard they're still researching and plan to develop a new variety that yields 3,000 jin per mu!"
As a dog who browsed TikTok and the forums every day, Little Yellow knew all about the latest news.
Liu Yi looked out over the fields of ripened grain and smiled in satisfaction.
Thinking about how all these changes had started with him, he felt a deep sense of achievement.
He started the vehicle and took Little Yellow all around the area surrounding Green Mountain Town.
Finally, he glanced at the sky and said, "Come on, let's head back."
The days passed, and turmoil gripped Jin State.
After the system issued an extermination mission, tens of millions of system hosts who had reached the Innate Realm or above accepted it.
The world's social divisions had already been exceptionally severe, and resentment had long been festering in the hearts of the common people.
This time, the actions of the martial sects and great clans that had forbidden the spread of the system had completely enraged everyone.
Once the system mission was issued, whether they were after Energy Points or seeking vengeance for old grudges,
People sprang into action, launching a frenzied campaign against these forces.
Although some among the forces under attack had previously bound a system and increased their strength,
Before the experts who had emerged from the enormous pool of ten billion system hosts,
They were no more than mantises trying to stop a chariot, as insignificant as grains of millet in the vast ocean, utterly unable to withstand this surging calamity of annihilation.
Now, news of martial sects or great clans being wiped out appeared on TikTok and the forums every day.
Xu Cheng'an stood before the brilliantly lit and imposing Zhao residence and waved his hand. More than ten thousand system hosts poured into the residence like a tide.
Zhao Heng, head of the Zhao Household and the seventh-strongest expert in Jin State, shouted angrily, "You've got some nerve! How dare you provoke the Zhao Household!"
Xu Cheng'an replied coldly, "Your Zhao Household has committed every evil under the sun, and you even dared to obstruct the dissemination of the system. Today is the day you die!"
"You brat, you don't know how high the heavens are or how deep the earth is! I, Zhao Heng, have dominated Jin State for decades. I won't be scared so easily! Now that you're here, don't expect to leave alive!"
Xu Cheng'an sneered. "Stop putting on an act. Today is the day your Zhao Household is wiped out."
"Don't think you could hide it from us by arranging for Zhao disciples to sneak away. They're already dead. Now we'll send you down to join them!"
With that, he shouted, "Kill!" Lightning gathered in his palm as he struck at Zhao Heng.
"No! You bastards, you really dare wipe out my Zhao Household! That damned Fairness System never should have existed!"
"My Zhao Household should ride on the backs of the people for generations to come! Those lowly peasants aren't fit to stand as our equals!" Zhao Heng roared, raising his palm to meet Xu Cheng'an's attack.
Their palms collided, and Zhao Heng was sent flying backward. He spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, his limbs numb.
"Impossible... How is this possible!"
He struggled to raise himself and stared at Xu Cheng'an in terror. "I'm the seventh-strongest expert in Jin State. You're just a junior. How can you be so powerful?"
Zhao Heng turned and saw the Zhao Household's experts being besieged and slaughtered by the system hosts, utterly unable to fight back. Screams rang out one after another throughout the residence.
"Stop killing! We surrender! We surrender!"
But the system hosts paid no attention to their pleas. To the hosts, these people were walking Energy Points. Every extra kill meant another reward, so how could they possibly stop?
"Zhao Heng, your days of lording it over others are over for good. Die!"
Xu Cheng'an felt no mercy for the Zhao Household and their oppression of the people.
His palm slammed down, lightning flashing like heavenly thunder descending as it struck Zhao Heng head-on, instantly smashing him to pieces.
After dealing with Zhao Heng, Xu Cheng'an saw the hosts frantically attacking the Zhao Household. His figure flashed as he joined the fight.
This was already the third force he had wiped out, and thanks to these accomplishments, he had earned thirty million Energy Points.
With those Energy Points, he could buy a Dao Seed Realm cultivation method and cultivate to the Dao Seed Realm.
Before long, the Zhao residence fell completely silent.
And so the once-formidable Zhao Household, which had stood for hundreds of years, was utterly destroyed.
