Chapter 233: Studying Moonlight
While he was thinking hard about ways to find the freak geniuses, a thought suddenly flashed in Lin Yao’s mind. He remembered a certain part of a book that he had read before.
‘The book “The Talented People” talked about the classification of talented people. It is said that although there are 3,000 paths to achieving greatness, anyone can be a super-powerhouse by taking any of the paths, and some paths are more mysterious and unpredictable. Space, time, prophecy, destiny, law of causality, devouring… If one awakens these talents, even if there is only a very slight trace of them, it will be easier for them to become a powerhouse. These talented people are considered geniuses among human beings.
‘This applies to humans and freaks. To gain a large amount of energy, it is best to track down and kill the freaks with these attributes. For every freak that one kills, one will gain at least 100,000 grams of energy.’
The continuous trigger of the Light-Bulb Moment dispelled many of Lin Yao’s doubts. However, this was not pure luck. In the past, it was said that the Light-Bulb Moment was reliant on one’s own knowledge. If he had not read the book on talented people, no matter how hard he thought about it, it would have been difficult to trigger the Light-Bulb Moment.
‘One can’t stop reading books. The growth of the Bodhi Tree also requires a lot of knowledge as nourishment.’
Lin Yao realized that there were more and more things he had to do, such as gain knowledge, develop his body, cultivate his combat skills, and find ways to track and kill freak geniuses with strange and mysterious abilities.
He sighed and merged the many green energy balls in the sky into one. Soon, a huge energy ball with 472,879 grams of energy inside it appeared in his Sea of Consciousness.
When Lin Yao was satisfied and happy, the number in the energy ball jumped and became 472,900 grams.
Lin Yao had grown accustomed to this change. The foundation he had established was still in operation. Although the larger projects had stopped due to the lack of money, data collection was still ongoing. They were making preliminary preparations so that they could quickly get to work after obtaining the money in the future.
When collecting information on the poverty in the country, Lin Yao would still provide financial support if he encountered people who were in a particularly difficult financial situation. At the same time, he had been paying the salary of the teachers in some orphanages.
In addition, the foundation would send many snacks, textbooks, and some simple clothes to children in certain orphanages every week.
Compared to building a school, this did not cost much, but the rewards were good.
Lin Yao was able to obtain 1,000 grams of energy points every day due to these expenses. When the materials were distributed on holidays, he would obtain 3,000 grams of energy points. This meant that even if there was no major project, Lin Yao could receive about 10,000 grams of energy in a week.
The one million grams of energy required by a sacred tree could be accumulated in 100 weeks.
However, it would take too much time. He needed money to pay the staff. Besides, although the teachers’ salaries and the items he bought did not cost much, it was still a considerable sum in the long run.
‘Sigh. I need money for cultivation and for my family. That’s why I left peaceful Ninghai and came to Shanghai for commercial performances to make money.’
While lamenting that it was difficult to make money, Lin Yao also developed his future action plan based on his own situation.
‘Right now, I have 470,000 grams of energy points, and I can upgrade the sacred tree with another 530,000 grams of energy. The first choice is naturally the Celestial Tree. After advancing the tree, my original light talent will be strengthened, and I will have a new light talent. This will allow me to absorb more light energy and have a stronger healing ability. Correspondingly, with stronger healing energy, I will receive electric shocks for a prolonged period. This also means that the speed of cultivation will increase, which is considered the most urgent matter right now.
‘530,000 grams of energy… When converted into money, it is 150 million yuan… That’s a lot!
‘There are two ways to gain energy quickly. One way is to find freak geniuses and kill them, and the second way is to become even more talented to get investors or endorse new dojos.
‘The former is a bit difficult, so the main way out is the second method.’
It was difficult to locate freaks in this world, and it was 10 times more difficult and extremely dangerous to locate freak geniuses with destiny, prophecy, and spatial abilities. Although Lin Yao was not afraid, he preferred to crush the enemy after becoming stronger rather than engaging in a life-and-death struggle with them.
He was confident that he would achieve that with his extremely fast cultivation speed.
Therefore, after careful consideration, he decided to stick to the original plan and took the second path.
He thought hard along this line and gradually understood what he needed the most.
‘If I want to rely on fame to make money, I can’t lose tomorrow and I have to crush the enemy. At least from now on, I have to maintain a high profile and display my talents to attract more investments.’
With this thought in mind, Lin Yao looked at the third talent of the Bodhi Tree.
‘With this thing, I won’t lose!’
The Bodhi Tree was also called the Tree of Enlightenment. There were many legends about this sacred tree, but regardless of the rumors, it was said that it was purely an auxiliary sacred tree, and it did not seem to be very related to fighting.
Lin Yao’s Bodhi Tree grew up like normal, and it indeed provided Lin Yao with auxiliary talents.
The first talent allowed Lin Yao to quickly accumulate knowledge, and the second talent was dependent on his knowledge, allowing him to deal with his troubles in the shortest time possible.
These two abilities were very good, but both of them were auxiliary abilities. Under normal circumstances, the third talent would also be an auxiliary talent. Was it really possible to fight beyond his rank based on this ability?
Regardless of whether other people believed it or not, Lin Yao was very confident about it.
After seeing the third ability of the Bodhi Tree, he was no longer worried about the fight with the Flowery Sect. He noticed that the sky would not light up soon. He did not sleep. Instead, he used his laptop to search for information on the moon after the Spirit Energy Revival and looked through it carefully.
He wanted to make use of the power of the holy light that originated from the light of the sun to study the moonlight. His reason for studying it was because he wanted to increase his perception of light. Besides, moonlight could restore mental strength, and he highly valued it. If he could really absorb moonlight, he would be able to read throughout the night. Right now, he would have a headache after reading for a short while. This would also accelerate the growth of the Bodhi Tree, and it would be much easier for him when he practiced combat skills.
As he read the information on the Internet, the changes in the moon after the Spirit Energy Revival, as well as the various research data, were slowly displayed in his mind.
‘Strictly speaking, in addition to the holy light, the moonlight is also an ability that originated from the light of the sun. According to what I have learned, the brilliance of the sun is the essence of light and the most initial form of light. The holy light is composed of three elements, including the light of the sun, spirit energy, and human positive emotions. The positive energy formed by the combination of these three is the power of the holy light.
‘Moonlight is the power of light that is formed by the reflection of the sun’s light on the moon. The light that shines on the moon is the initial form of light. After it’s reflected by the moon, the properties of light change. Therefore, after the Spirit Energy Revival, the moon can change the light attributes… I wonder what the reason is.’
Lin Yao knew what the moon in his previous life was. However, the Spirit Energy Revival had changed the world, and he did not have much information on the moon in this world.
Although Lin Yao could not understand, there was dedicated personnel in the country that conducted research and had achieved some results.
However, he felt depressed when he discovered that some of the results were encrypted, and one had to have permission and earn merit points to read them.
‘Fortunately, I have higher privilege and access rights and I have earned more than 5,000 merit points before.’
The Photogenic Memory talent and the Agile Mind talent enabled Lin Yao to quickly browse through dozens of theses and carefully studied them.
After studying, Lin Yao fell asleep on the bed.
It felt uncomfortable to cram his head with a large amount of knowledge. He needed deep sleep to regain energy.
It was difficult to recover from mental exhaustion. Lin Yao slept for a whole day, until the next morning, when he woke up from his deep sleep.
If he did not consume the Moon Essence, he needed to sleep all night to recover from his exhaustion. This was also the reason he began to study the moonlight. He had wasted too much time.
‘Sleep is also essential to me. The Armored Body Of Light can rejuvenate my body. I can spend two hours sleeping deeply every three or five days to fully recover physically. However, I need a night of deep sleep to recover my mental strength. If mental strength is similar to the body, I can sleep for two to three hours every three to five days to recover, and this will save a lot of time.’
