Earth’s Best Gamer

Chapter 237: CPH4, Hermit Bean, and SkyNet

“On the other hand, it’s worth noting that there is an upper limit to the value of all the goods you can buy in the City of Humans. This limit corresponds with your own Honor!”

Yu Long mentioned something else.

Ji Ye realized that, to be honest, “shopping” was part of the bonus in the City of Humans.

Only those who had earned enough Honor points or potentials were allowed to purchase items with privileges.

On the other hand, the Civilization Coins that everybody could spend were limited by the total Honor they had accumulated.

Therefore, even if some special settlements, such as Miss Panda’s that was particularly supported by the authorities and those whose members were billionaires from Earth, could pool a hundred thousand Civilization Coins with an exchange of interests back on Earth, they couldn’t buy the goods that Ji Ye saw because their Honor points weren’t enough.

“Right, why are some of the items ‘Special’, and some ‘Transcendent’?

“Also, some Special items are even more expensive than Transcendent ones.”

After browsing through about a hundred items, Ji Ye opened his mouth again.

“Some options’ initial level may be relatively low, but they may have great potential!”

Yu Long spoke concisely.

It was about choosing the present or the future.

“Got it!”

Ji Ye nodded.

“Can I filter out the ‘goods’ that belonged to human civilizations?”

After viewing for a while longer, he decided to choose the products that were from the Earth civilizations.

It was only because the items from human beings of other dimensions were too many.

Even the Superior Rare items that cost about 100,000 Civilization Coins were too many to be listed.

Also, since he did not know the other universes and dimensions very well, it was impossible for him to determine their values from the short descriptions.

He knew the items from Earth much better.

In particular, he could tell the potential of an item from the original novel!

That was of great significance.

“Of course!”

Yu Long nodded after hearing that.

Appreciation flashed in her elegant eyes.

After Ji Ye added the condition, “From Earth”, the items on the list were changed. The first thing he saw on the new list was some sort of bright blue drug that appeared in grains.

[CPH4]

[Level: Special]

[Rarity: Superior (Rare)]

[Description: This is an amazing drug from Earth that can significantly boost the development of one’s brain. However, give up your fantasy, as it won’t be so easy to become a god!]

[Price: 90,000 Civilization Coins]

“CPH4? Isn’t it the drug from Lucy?”

Ji Ye’s eyes glittered.

Lucy wasn’t exactly a widely-known movie.

Nevertheless, the blue drug had left a deep impression on him.

It was because the item could significantly make use of the potentials of the human brains!

That was definitely of great significance to humankind.

After all, according to certain experts, even Einstein had only developed 10% of his brains.

A greater development of the brains could likely grant someone extraordinary powers!

In the movie, after the female protagonist had a certain dosage of CPH4, she awakened certain super abilities including mind-reading and linking.

After she injected even more CPH4, she even became a god and could travel through time and space with her mind.

Of course, that must be an exaggeration and was unlikely to happen in the current phase.

Besides, it was specifically mentioned in the description that it wasn’t easy to become a god!

“But it’s not entirely useless. I’ll keep it as an option!”

Ji Ye didn’t make a choice right away.

It was because, while CPH4 was marvelous, it was essentially a drug as per the description.

Therefore, it might contain side effects and cause addiction!

Although he could avoid the problem with the Fusion talent and even copy it by analyzing its elements, it definitely shouldn’t be his main choice.

Therefore, Ji Ye chose to read on.

The next item on the list was a seedling that was as green as jade.

[Hermit Bean Seedling]

[Level: Special]

[Rarity: Perfect]

[Description: It’s from Earth. A single one of such beans can keep a person full for ten days. It can also quickly heal wounds and recover physical strength.]

[Price: 95,555 Civilization Coins]

Hermit Bean from Dragon Ball?

As a person who frequently visited anime sites, he was no stranger to “Hermit Bean”.

It was definitely good stuff.

After all, wound and strength recoveries were very important in battles, particularly those that were received on a battlefield.

On the battlefield of Xiangyang, Wu Song, Lu Zhishen, and other heroes were very strong, but they were more or less out of strength after killing hundreds of enemies.

If they had Hermit Beans, they would be able to replenish their physical strength. Then, the top heroes could keep fighting on the battlefield. Each of them could crush a thousand soldiers like what Lu Junyi did in the original novel of Water Margin!

However, if Ji Ye remembered correctly, Hermit Bean was famous for being hard to develop in Dragon Ball.

If he brought it back but was unable to plant it, or the speed that it yielded beans was as low as the Dragon Pine Tree from the alternate dimension, the hundred thousand Civilization Coins would be wasted for nothing!

“Let’s keep reading…”

Ji Ye read on. What he saw was B. F. Sword, Soul Chariot, Hulk’s Serum, Gourmet Cells…

The items seemed to have been listed at random. Or maybe they were the items that the power of providence of the City of Humans found suitable for him after filtering.

All those items had powerful features.

For example, B. F. Sword had the Transcendent power to absorb sword aura and transform furious winds into sword aura. It could even be upgraded into a weapon named Infinity Edge that could instantly turn into infinite concrete swords!

The burning fire of soul on the Soul Chariot, on the other hand, could endow soul to any lifeless creature and turn a vehicle such as a motorbike and a ship into a mount!

It was not hard to imagine what Hulk’s Serum was for.

Although the absorption was not guaranteed to be successful, one would be able to increase their combat ability and blow up everything with their rage if one did succeed…

All these items were either powerful or had huge potentials.

They also taught Ji Ye a lesson on what “Transcendent” really meant!

However, what exactly should he choose?

“Right, you can only buy a limited number of the items that are displayed as ‘rare’!”

At this moment, Yu Long reminded him.

“Rare items?”

Ji Ye looked at the list again.

He found that “CPH4” was exactly a rare item, and so was the item that was next to it.

It was a silver computer that seemed obsolete and clumsy and was clearly in the style of the last century.

[Main Computer of SkyNet]

[Level: Special]

[Rarity: Perfect (Rare)]

[Description: This is an intelligent computer from Earth that has awakened its own self-consciousness. It has stored a lot of information on military technologies.]

[Price: 99,999 Civilization Coins]
