This statent once again elicited a light chuckle from the attendees.
"Third question, what do you think is the purpose of the Moon Eclipse Clan launching the Evolution Store?" Lu Mingyuan's question quieted the conference room.
The Technology Minister adjusted his smart glasses:
"From a technical standpoint, this level of technological sharing is indeed unusual. Previously, we had requested more advanced Spirit Plant cultivation equipnt but were never granted approval by the Moon Eclipse Clan, and now they are sharing higher-level research achievents."
The Technology Minister frowned and said:
"Maybe they have ulterior motives? Through this thod... "
"Don't overthink it." The Wind City City Lord interrupted directly:
"It's the sa old thing, if the Moon Eclipse Clan really wanted to harm us, given their technological prowess, they could have taken direct action, why make it so complicated? We've cooperated until now, they've shared so much technology and resources, is it just to see us in despair when trust collapses?"
The Chief Financial Officer nodded in agreent:
"Indeed, the technology they have provided over the years has truly improved livelihood, and helped us clean up the environntal pollution caused by the Descent War. If they wanted to deal with us, there was no need for such a cumberso setup."
"But this ti is different." The Technology Minister insisted:
"This ti it involves optimization technologies related to the essence of life, lifespan extension, genetic enhancent, and so on... "
Just as various parties were debating this, the military representative suddenly interrupted:
"Everyone, our current debate is similar to when we discussed whether to connect to the Star Network back then. We couldn't understand why the Moon Eclipse Clan would provide technology support for free... Now the sa question arises again, if there really is a conspiracy, with the technological prowess demonstrated by the Moon Eclipse Clan, wouldn't direct action be simpler? Why bother with all this?"
This straightforward question hit the core, causing the conference room to fall into temporary silence.
Chief Speaker Lu Mingyuan then knocked on the table, interrupting the subsequent discussion:
"The purpose is no longer important, what's important is that we must participate, the Earth Alliance races have already taken action, lagging behind ans being eliminated, just as when we connected to the Star Network back then, this is an important node in the wave of the era."
"Perhaps for the Moon Eclipse Clan, this behavior is as mundane as us providing basic dical support to underdeveloped regions, maybe there's no need to scrutinize deeply, let's start voting."
The vote quickly passed.
When the eting ended, everyone understood that missing the boat ant falling behind.
History always has a striking resemblance.
No matter the purpose of the Moon Eclipse Clan, the Human Clan Federation can no longer avoid this wave of evolution.
...
Besides the Human Clan Federation, other race mbers and high-level figures of the Earth Alliance are also focused on the suddenly launched Evolution Store.
In a small town tavern in Breaking City.
A pale-skinned, despondent-looking man stared at his phone's Evolution Store page featuring the Lifespan Extension Pill, his eyes gradually gleaming with light, and he couldn't help but burst into crazed laughter:
"I've mined for half a year to accumulate sacrificial power, finally able to trade it for a lifeline, it's worth it!"
Great Barbarian City, Genetic Therapy Center.
An aging warrior imrsed in nutrient liquid suddenly opened his eyes, then frantically struck the cabin wall, the neural tubes connected to his body continuously swayed, and the muscle under the regenerating mbrane rapidly collapsed with the agitation.
The dical staff watched in terror as the adrenaline curve spiked on the monitoring screen, while the elder's murky pupils reflected the auxiliary screen ahead, showing "Star Marrow Spirit Liquid."
"Get sacrificial power... gather... sacrificial power."
The frail fingers of the Great Barbarian elder trembled as he pointed at the screen in front of him.
The chanical war of those years had ravaged his body with intense radiation, leaving him with only a struggling survival.
Even the Moon Eclipse Clan's technology could barely maintain his vitality, and he could die at any mont.
To relieve the pain on the physical layer, he could only alleviate the pain through the Virtual World.
But now, he sees hope for life.
As long as there's sacrificial power, this decaying body will be reinvigorated.
But he doesn't have Player Qualification in the Monster World, he can only purchase sacrificial power through others to buy items in the Evolution Mall.
Whatever the cost, he must claim a Star Marrow Spirit Liquid.
Wood Spirit Clan, Ecological City.
On a balcony entwined with erald vines, a Wood Spirit Clan man in a moon-white robe stands quietly.
Maze of long fingers, he holds a half-withered Spirit Leaf between his fingers, while his other hand grips the display.
At this mont, his light green pupils slightly constrict, reflecting the serene light blooming from the "Purifying Green Lotus" in the Evolution Store.
A strand of hair slides from behind the ear, and he subconsciously swallows.
This object holds deadly allure for the Wood Spirit Clan.
The environnt of Earth is far too tainted for them, each step outside the Ecological Do requires a breathing apparatus to filter excess pollutants from the air.
Even the most advanced air purification system can't recreate the pure essence described in historical books.
Their skin cracks from the heavy tal particles, their lungs burn from the stinging industrial fus.
The teacher said, "You are the weakest constitution I've ever guided" and even said "each generation is worse than the last."
It's never a joke but a harsh reality.
The Purifying Green Lotus' description claims to purify air and optimize the environnt with spiritual energy.
Though its effects are only in limited areas, perhaps it could allow select Outstanding Youth from the Wood Spirit Clan to achieve ancestral life with the nourishnt of spiritual energy and regain the powers once held by ancestors.
