Calamity of Tomorrow-Chapter 541 - 540 Greedy disaster

Zhou Bai walked through the civilian district of Donghua City, with Christina and Elsa staying within his sea of consciousness.

He saw Elsa, transformed into a little girl, orbiting around Zhou Bai’s Primordial Spirit like a satellite, ceaselessly curious as she sniffed around and darted back and forth as if she had boundless energy within her.

Christina, watching her antics, impatiently said, "Is that enough already? Your running around is making me dizzy, just stop."

Elsa stopped then tried to lick Christina but was swatted away with a paw, "Behave yourself."

Zhou Bai, feeling the commotion in his sea of consciousness, rolled his eyes and said, "You two, stop frolicking in my sea of consciousness. My head feels so heavy."

Christina replied, "It’s because you wanted us to go to the hospital with you."

Zhou Bai helplessly said, "Can’t help it. Recently, there’s always someone from the Plague Department watching over me. According to Zhao Haomiao, it’s protective surveillance, to see if Gu Letian will come after me again."

"I’m worried they might find you, so let’s stick together for the next few days. Besides, we would have to act together during the upcoming Daluo Heaven discourse anyway."

Christina remarked, "Daluo Heaven discourse, huh... According to Ying Hui, this time it really is a hidden dragon and crouching tiger competition. Wanxian Island is sparing no effort in supporting their few geniuses. All kinds of armor, weapons, pills, and cultivation techniques are top-notch. It won’t be easy to win."

Zhou Bai snorted, "Armor, weapons, pills, cultivation techniques—I’ll strip them all off clean. With my abilities, I was already seventy to eighty percent confident of being first in this discourse. Now that I have the Red Heavenly Armor, I should be able to activate Greed Disaster tomorrow. After forging the ’Apocalypse Heavenly Skeleton Armor’ in a couple of days, my power will surge again. This time at the Daluo Heaven discourse, I’m certain I’ll take first place."

Listening to Zhou Bai’s confident words, Christina nodded, "Hope so, just afraid that the immortals might not play by the rules."

Zhou Bai’s eyes narrowed, "If they don’t play by the rules, then neither will I."

Zhou Bai continued, "I’m just a poor student. If they resort to cheating, poisoning, or threats, I’ll have no choice but to fight to the death, even if it means mutual destruction..."

Christina, hearing Zhou Bai’s words, twitched slightly and quickly said, "Don’t be rash, Zhou Bai. Let’s not be impulsive. Don’t worry, with Elder Heavenly Sword backing us, they will at most show some bias towards their own people. They won’t go too far."

Zhou Bai nodded, "Hope so."

Then he mingled with the crowd and quickly disappeared with them. When he appeared again, he had put on a handsome mask, and no one recognized him as Zhou Bai.

Zhou Bai then carefully made his way to the underground morgue of the hospital, looked at Yan Shan who was earnestly cultivating, then used his Primordial Spirit power to sweep out all the trash, preparing to sell it all together.

Christina lay in the underground of the hospital morgue, watching Zhou Bai not far away shoveling human sand, and shook her head, "Sigh, even shoveling dirt looks handsome with his good looks. Zhou Bai is really a genius at sculpting faces. If I had met him earlier, I wouldn’t have had to spend over a hundred years turning into a human."

Zhou Bai turned and left, "Let’s go, Tina. After this visit, we will tidy up next week. The next time will be after the Daluo Heaven discourse."

Christina followed him, her figure flashed, and she had turned into a wisp of green smoke, whisking into Zhou Bai’s sea of consciousness.

Zhou Bai then looked at his auxiliary cultivation system, "Today, I can finally activate the last Greed Disaster."

Zhou Bai glanced at the panel of the auxiliary cultivation system; after diligently dealing with the garbage every day these last few days, his laziness value was about to reach 3 million points, allowing him to activate the last star point of Greed Disaster.

He looked at the star point description on Greed Disaster.

Greed Disaster: Can utilize others’ consciousness to extract Primordial Spirit Armament blueprints. After forging others’ Primordial Spirit Armaments, he can lease them out to collect high fees and interest...

Cultivation Method: Take a brief look.

Laziness (0/3000000)

The introduction about Greed Disaster was lengthy, and these past few days, Zhou Bai, while earning laziness points, had been studying the power of this Greed Disaster.

Firstly, just as Zhou Bai had previously speculated, he could utilize the consciousness of others to connect to the void and extract new Primordial Spirit Armament blueprints.

Although the Primordial Spirit Armaments he crafted this time might not necessarily suit him, he could still charge a fee by lending them out.

Zhou Bai: "This charging a fee part is actually quite interesting…"

Zhou Bai read the introduction, and according to it, after he lends the Primordial Spirit Armament to someone, he could choose whether to activate the charging mode.

If he didn’t activate the charging mode, then the armament would only extract the user’s greed once a day, sending it into Zhou Bai’s mind sea. Zhou Bai could use this to craft Greed Steel, serving as a method to collect Greed Steel.

However, once the charging mode began, the first day of use was free, but starting from the second day, a fee would be required.

During the usage, the Primordial Spirit Armament would continuously stimulate the user’s greed, making them increasingly dependent on the Primordial Spirit Armament.

The method of charging involved sacrificing various items to the Primordial Spirit Armament, converting them into laziness points and transferring them to Zhou Bai.

The amount charged depended on the other party’s strength, the stronger they were relative to Zhou Bai, the less they were charged.

Regardless of the initial fee, it would continuously increase with each passing day until it grew to a point that the user couldn’t afford.

Once they stopped paying, the Primordial Spirit Armament would return to Zhou Bai.

And if the user ran out of money or lacked appropriate items to pay debts with, the Primordial Spirit Armament would encourage the user to borrow items from others to repay the debt, or even to sacrifice various kinds of trash and filth.

Observing the introduction of the Greed Disaster, Zhou Bai chuckled internally, "This is essentially a payday loan platform, using others’ greed, endlessly exploiting and scavenging, to fuel my laziness points."

"Hmm… With this going on, I won’t need to be busy dealing with garbage every day, there might even be people handling the sewage."

"I can also let my own people use it for free, as long as they’re harvested for a bit of their greed daily. This can significantly enhance my people’s combat abilities."

"If this continues, maybe I won’t have to always fight alone."

Thus, that very day, Zhou Bai, filled with determination, frantically sold garbage and managed to amass 3 million laziness points. Returning to his dorm, he finally clicked on the Greed Disaster star point.

Zhou Bai only felt a mighty power explode from within his mind sea, fiercely rushing through his body.

It seemed like his consciousness could connect to the void anytime and anywhere, opening pathways in the void that led to reality.

"So, it turns out that the abilities of Greed Disaster are realized through the void."

Zhou Bai suddenly looked towards Christina, who was cultivating on the bed, "Tina, come here, come here, let me show you something fun."

Zhou Bai’s greed progress (9/9).

Only one week left until the discourse in Daluo Heaven.
