Logging 10,000 Years into the Future-Chapter 367

“I just hope I don’t deviate too far from a normal human form …”

Lu Sheng wasn’t a martial arts madman who would discard everything for the path of martial arts. He still wanted to live as a normal person with emotions and warmth.

After washing his face with water, Lu Sheng exited the bathroom.

From a day and night’s sleep, he was now fully revitalized.

His mental state was better than ever before, but the feeling of “emptiness” within grew increasingly apparent.

“Exotic Blood, I need large quantities of Exotic Blood … I wonder if they’ve tallied my military merits yet?”

Lu Sheng picked up his phone on the nightstand and unexpectedly saw a missed call.

His heart stirred as he opened it.

It was from Wang Ye as expected.

Lu Sheng immediately called back.

“General Lu, your merit points have been tallied. I also have news on the person you asked me to look into …”

“Good, then I’ll come over shortly. Please wait for me.”

Hanging up, Lu Sheng’s mood brightened.

The military was indeed efficient, taking just a day to tally the battle merits from several fronts, plus news on Liu Qiming.

Thinking this, Lu Sheng left his room.

As he went downstairs, a figure quickly approached him.

“Sir, you’re awake.”

It was the meek, gentle-looking maid with big eyes who had asked his name yesterday – Li Die.

Lu Sheng nodded casually.

“Would you like anything to eat, Sir?”

“Nothing special, just something light.”

“Understood.”

Li Die quickly left.

Lu Sheng sat on the sofa and noticed the day’s military news reports and major news digests from various regions had been neatly arranged on the coffee table.

They seemed freshly printed, giving off a faint scent of ink.

“You really think I’m some doddering old fossil who can’t even use a tablet?”

Lu Sheng chuckled self-mockingly as a maid came by to serve him tea.

Sipping his tea, Lu Sheng casually flipped through the newspapers.

Not long after, before the food even arrived, Wang Ye showed up first …

“General Lu.”

Wang Ye entered and saluted Lu Sheng, who casually motioned for him to sit.

“Have a seat.”

“Thank you, General Lu.”

After sitting down, Wang Ye first handed the merit tally report to Lu Sheng.

“You guys tallied it pretty quickly.”

Lu Sheng praised him.

Wang Ye replied embarrassedly, “It’s only a rough tally, not completely accurate. If there are any discrepancies, feel free to let me know so we can apply for corrections, General Lu.”

Lu Sheng glanced at the final tally of over 3.8 million merits, not sure if it was an overestimate or underestimate, so he didn’t comment.

“What kind of resources can merit points be exchanged for? Can you give me a brief introduction?”

“I’ve brought the list for your review, General Lu.”

Wang Ye handed over a stack of files, well-prepared.

Lu Sheng flipped through them quickly.

The first step was to find Exotic Blood.

Seeing that one vial of Level 7 Exotic Blood only cost 100,000 merits, Lu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Thirty-eight vials of Level 7 fluid should be enough for him to forge his second immortal cell.

Then he flipped through the prices of various materials but couldn’t help but frown.

“Orichalcum is so expensive?”

Lu Sheng had originally thought that since Level 7 Exotic Blood only cost 100,000 merits each, merit points must be quite valuable. But he didn’t expect Orichalcum to cost 1,000 merits per gram. At this rate, his over 3 million merits could only exchange for less than 4 kilograms of Orichalcum.

What a rip-off.

It wasn’t even enough to reforge a new grip for the Red Crystal Dragon Pattern spear.

Wang Ye smiled bitterly, “Even at the Grandmaster realm, Orichalcum is considered a precious resource. If it was priced too cheaply, the military’s Orichalcum reserves wouldn’t be enough for all the Generals to have a share … It’s not an endlessly replenishable resource like exotic beasts …”

Lu Sheng pondered and realized he was right.

Level 7 Exotic Blood was cheap because this was the military frontline, where the most abundant resource was exotic beast corpses, so the costs were low.

But for a hard currency like Orichalcum, there was no concept of cost price – the price was universal everywhere.

“So I’ll still need to find my own Orichalcum mine …”

Lu Sheng thought to himself.

Seeing Lu Sheng’s silence, Wang Ye thought he was dissatisfied and quickly said, “General Lu, if you want to exchange Orichalcum to forge weapons, the Marshal said even if you don’t have enough merits, it’s fine. You have a 10 million merit allowance to spend in advance.”

“Oh?!”

Lu Sheng was pleasantly surprised.

So there was such a good deal.

In that case, upgrades for the Red Crystal Dragon Pattern spear could be considered.

As for the Heavenly Blade Devotion Wheels, those could wait until he found a Orichalcum mine to work on forging them.

“Then help me arrange this – I want to forge the body of a Level 7 long spear using Orichalcum as the primary material. Use the 13.8 million merit allowance. Exchange the leftover merits for all the Level 7 Exotic Blood it can buy.”

Lu Sheng instructed Wang Ye, who immediately took out his phone to contact the relevant professionals without hesitation.

Five minutes later, he proposed a plan that satisfied Lu Sheng.

“Forging the longs pear will likely cost around 8 million merits, including tempering fees. The remaining 5.8 million merits can be exchanged for 58 vials of Level 7 Exotic Blood …”

As Wang Ye reported, Lu Sheng suddenly had a thought and changed his mind, “Modify it to 5 vials of Level 8 Exotic Blood, and 8 vials of Level 7.”

The price of Level 8 fluid was ten times that of Level 7.

Lu Sheng had subconsciously been treating himself as just a Level 7 Martial Artist, only now realizing he could try directly absorbing Level 8 essence.
