Chapter 61: Spiritual Qi Awakening
But with all this going on, should she die again?
Lihua took out the Judgement of Shamash and looked it over. This thing was a self-destruct artifact. She could use her life to unleash one awesome attack.
Since she could also farm energy from Earthlings, could she just make a name for herself on Earth? Like she did in Europe in the Honkai world, where she was a well-known and beloved figure. Then, if she died once on a live stream, could she directly harvest countless energy points?
There were seven billion people on Earth. Even if only half of them saw it and each person only contributed one energy point, that would be 3.5 billion. That was enough for her to milk how many Ottos?
After all, there were no chosen ones on Earth, so the only way to farm energy was to start with the general public.
Looks like she needed to continue to maintain the image of Lihua, everyone's beloved, kindhearted, big-sister on Earth.
After establishing her action plan, Lihua looked up and softly gazed at Wang Chui and Shen Hua across from her, who had been wanting to look at the Judgement of Shamash in her hands but were too embarrassed to do so. She opened her hand, showing them the dual pistols: "Are you interested in them?"
"Yes, they really are... Earlier, I saw how that powerful Tomato Devil was burned into ashes by it in one slash. It was so strong..." Wang Chui looked at the Judgement of Shamash in Lihua's hands, his eyes shining brightly.
According to the collected data, the performance of this weapon in the spin-off manga could even surpass nuclear weapons in some aspects. If Earth could also use the power of this weapon, they wouldn't have to face those monsters from other worlds with such heavy casualties.
"These guns are called the Judgement of Shamash. They are weapons passed down through the Kaslana family—although you might know more about this than I do."
Lihua shook her head helplessly, "After all, you have the 'original' here, right?"
"I know that you must be thinking about whether it's possible to create weapons that utilize Honkai energy like the Judgement of Shamash. But believe me, don't do it."
"Honkai isn't a tool that can help humans, it's a disaster. Researching and using it to solve the current monster issues is like drinking poison to quench your thirst. It's a blessing that this world doesn't have Honkai. If you want to find a way to fight against the monsters from other worlds, you should wait a little longer. There will definitely be other people from other worlds like me, who will bring safer methods."
Besides, the system said before that the spiritual energy on Earth would also start to recover. Who knows, maybe it would turn into a scenario of sword immortals battling Cthulhu.
"Honkai…"
Shen Hua muttered this word, feeling a bit nervous. Since monsters from other worlds had appeared, she, as the adjutant of the department in charge of related matters, had conducted in-depth research and experience of all the mainstream games, anime, novels, and other works.
So, she already knew how terrifying Honkai was.
What she was most worried about was what if, even if humans didn't start researching Honkai, this kind of thing would spread from the Honkai world like a virus?
Earlier, the people from above had gone to the miHoYo company. The people there said that they didn't know how the later plots would unfold. They'd always suddenly think of something before each update, and then finish it in two days as if they were possessed by a god.
So, it was probably impossible to know the weaknesses of disasters like Honkai and the future information of these monsters from those so-called creators of Earth.
The only thing that humans could do now was to take things one step at a time.
But the monsters that had appeared were constantly getting stronger. They could still be suppressed with guns now, but what about later?
Were they going to drive tanks into small alleys, or use missiles to bombard their own city centers?
That's why, after they received news that a powerful human who could communicate had appeared in Kongchang City, they were so excited to try to build a relationship with Lihua and ask her to join the Unusual Event Handling Team.
The higher-ups were taking this meeting very seriously. Actually, even more important figures had already started heading to Kongchang City to meet Lihua.
A person who could communicate meant intelligence, meant the possibility of new technologies, meant a powerful fighting force.
And Lihua's behavior in the original story, as well as after crossing over to Earth, was like a lawful good character. As long as she joined, it was impossible for her to stand by and watch the suffering people.
Now that Honkai energy as a power source was too dangerous, although it had high power, Lihua would definitely not assist in its development, so it was equivalent to only obtaining a ready combat force—but this was already a great help.
It was so good that Lihua, who had a gentle personality and was willing to help humans unconditionally, was the one who appeared on Earth...
[Detected an increase in target Shen Hua's favorability. Current favorability: 4]
[Current target's charging efficiency: 80%]
Favorability of level 4? So, one level of charging efficiency is 20%?
A little stronger than the average person, but—meh.
Wang Chui next to her was higher. He was at a level 5 favorability with 100% charging efficiency.
As expected, it was impossible to milk a large amount of energy from Earthlings. She could only accumulate it little by little, using a low-profit, high-volume approach.
Lihua's eyes looked out the car window. The crowded people were quickly thrown behind the car, many of their faces still carrying naive smiles and expectations for the future, completely unaware that the world had changed dramatically.
Sigh, when acting as Lihua, it's easy for my thinking pattern to be influenced by her. I'm even starting to want to save as many people as possible.
Lihua gently tapped her head. This wouldn't do. Living a peaceful life was her top priority, and for this, she had to milk as many energy points as possible.
But in order to milk more energy points, she needed to boost the favorability of the whole world. So, it was also very reasonable to do some good deeds.
"You seem pretty strong."
Lihua looked at Wang Chui across from her, who was sitting seriously on the car seat with his fists clenched. He was clearly worried about the upcoming battle. She decided to think of a way to lighten the mood.
Plus, she could see that Wang Chui's strength was much greater than that of a normal human. Although he was still a little weaker compared to her, it was good to ask for information: "You're much stronger than normal soldiers. How did you do it?"
"This… I don't really know."
Wang Chui, who had come back to his senses, awkwardly clenched his fists: "I just exercise all the time. I originally felt like I had hit a bottleneck, but for some reason, I've improved a lot in the past two years. Opponents that were hard for me to beat before, I can now beat very easily… It was also because of this that I was transferred from my original unit to this handling team as the captain."
"Sometimes, when you break through a bottleneck, you will make rapid progress. This is also the result of your long-term training every day." Lihua smiled, acknowledging Wang Chui's efforts.
But a sudden breakthrough after hitting a bottleneck, was that because of the spiritual energy awakening? After all, spiritual energy awakening usually starts with a martial arts storyline, then evolves into things like cultivation and immortality, right?
Looking at Captain Wang, maybe he had already entered the realm of ancient martial arts?
Maybe in the future they would really be able to pull off scenes like sword immortals fighting Cthulhu...
