"Tell me, how much national treasure do you want from me this time?"Lin Yang asked with a sigh.
The dog system has already spoken. It may be a bit difficult to protect these national treasures.
He just hoped that this damn system would have a little more conscience this time and not ask for too much.
however……
"The more the better! Dear host!"
The four words "the more the better" from the dog system made two black lines appear on Lin Yang's forehead.
"Are you trying to deduct all the national treasure value?" Lin Yang glared.
"If the host is willing, it would be better..."
The system's answer was a little shy.
“…I don’t want to!”
Lin Yang just rolled his eyes.
Does this dog system really think that being a national treasure is so easy to make money from?
I want it all at every turn.
Simply outrageous.
After a pause, without waiting for the system to answer, Lin Yang suddenly asked with some doubt:
"Did you do it on purpose?"
"Did you deliberately tell me that this hibernation upgrade would take a very long time, and then wait until now so that you have a reason to ask for my national treasure value?"
He was a little skeptical.
He had every reason to be skeptical.
The system replied seriously:
"Dear host, this system will never exaggerate or lie, nor will it misreport any information. This is one of the supreme operating rules of this system. You can rest assured about this!"
Lin Yang curled his lips slightly.
He didn't really doubt the system, he was just curious as to why the system always wanted him to spend more national treasure points.
But he didn't ask, because even if he asked the system, it would definitely not be able to tell him for the time being.
He knows the system well now.
Immediately, Lin Yang continued to ask questions about the dormant upgrade:
"You said before that you couldn't estimate the time required for this dormant upgrade. If a large amount of national treasure value is deducted, can you estimate the shortened time?"
"Host, if you use the national treasure value to shorten the hibernation upgrade time, the specific time is still unknown for the time being, but the overall percentage of time can be reduced."
"The specific time required after the shortening needs your authorization to deduct the corresponding national treasure value, and the overall percentage time can be shortened before it can be estimated."
Lin Yang was interested when he heard this: "What is the ratio between the national treasure value and the overall percentage time reduction?"
"Host, I still cannot give you an accurate number for the specific ratio."
The system explained:
"Because this dormant upgrade requires unlocking more than one information module, the time consumed to unlock different information modules is different."
"But if you are willing to pay at least 800 million national treasures, the overall dormancy time can be shortened by about 40 to 60 percent."
"..."
"Oh...it's quite complicated."
Lin Yang curled his lips again and started bargaining: "At least 800 million? Can't it be less?"
"I'm sorry, host. It can't be any less. If it's any less, the cost-effectiveness of shortening will be greatly reduced."
"For example? What if it's 700 million or 600 million?" Lin Yang asked.
"If it is 700 million or 600 million, then it can only be shortened by 10 to 15 percent, and the cost performance is greatly reduced. Therefore, this system still recommends that the host pay at least 800 million national treasure value."
"…It's just one or two hundred million less, is the difference that big?" Lin Yang was a little speechless.
"Yes, host, 800 million is the most cost-effective option." The system replied.
"Well... okay, 800 million is 800 million. You deduct the amount now, and then tell me how long it will take after shortening it." Lin Yang sighed.
At least we have left 200 million, which is pretty good.
"Okay host, thank you for your generosity!"
The system responded and directly deducted 800 million national treasure value, then said:
"Dear host, after deducting the national treasure value and shortening the time, this dormant upgrade will probably take another sixty to eighty years. Would you like to start the upgrade?"
Lin Yang: ...
Lin Yang was stunned.
He meows.
What did he hear?
After spending 800 million national treasures, it will take another 60 or even 80 years to complete the upgrade?
???
Are you sure you're not kidding him?
"Dog system, are you kidding me? It takes decades to upgrade from dormancy to national treasure value?"
Lin Yang was a little confused.
It still takes this long even after reducing the overall upgrade time by 40% to 60%. Wouldn't it take almost two hundred years to complete this dormant upgrade before the reduction?
Isn't this really funny?
How long does a person live?
It takes one or two hundred years to upgrade the system.
An ordinary person could live two lifetimes with this.
It can't be this outrageous!
Even though he is now a super gene warrior, his lifespan has been greatly improved.
But up to now, he has only lived for more than 20 years.
It is simply unimaginable to have to wait for system hibernation upgrades for decades!
Of course, this is not because he is used to the system and he can't do anything without the system.
During the one or two years when the system was dormant for upgrades, he had already adapted to the absence of the system.
Therefore, the subsequent dependence on the system is greatly reduced.
Including this time in the unknown space, since the system had not been upgraded to unlock the corresponding information module, it could not provide any help, and he did not feel that he had to rely on the system.
But considering his current life span, it is simply hard for him to imagine that it would take decades to complete a system upgrade.
After all, the system is so powerful, but it takes so long to upgrade it, which really makes Lin Yang feel incredible.
"Dear host, if you still feel that the remaining time is too long, this system has another way to significantly reduce the time required for upgrading!"
"What can I do?" Lin Yang frowned, "I don't have any more national treasures worth it!"
"Dear host, no more national treasure value is needed."
System opening:
"If you are willing to spend some more achievement points, you can significantly shorten the upgrade time again!"
Lin Yang: "..."
He was numb. He really was a little numb.
When he heard the first sentence from the dog system, he thought that the dog system had finally changed its nature and was no longer asking for money.
But the following sentence made him speechless.
Change of sex?
Turn your ass!
It’s not worth it for the national treasure, but it’s the achievement point that he’s eyeing!
This is simply...
"This is intolerable! This is absolutely intolerable!"
Lin Yang said angrily:
"You're actually thinking about achievement points?"
"Do you know how hard it is for me to earn achievement points?"
"Even though you are the system, I still have to say, don't go too far!!"
Lin Yang opened the microphone passionately, ready to criticize the dog system.
Normally it would be fine if he asked for national treasure points, but now he is even thinking about getting achievement points.
Achievement points are not as easy to earn as national treasures!
but……
"One thousand achievement points, host. Only one thousand achievement points are needed. The remaining time required for this dormant upgrade can be directly shortened to six months!"
"This system will be able to complete the dormant upgrade in six months!"
"Uh..." Lin Yang was stunned for a moment.
I was about to say something but I swallowed it back involuntarily.
What did he hear again?
One thousand achievement points can directly shorten the upgrade dormancy time by several decades?
This……
"System, are you... serious?"
Lin Yang's tone was a little strange.
According to the redemption ratio of the two options provided by the system for issuing rewards just now.
Almost 10,000 achievement points are equal to 10 billion national treasure values.
We just spent 800 million and shortened the time by several decades. Converted into achievement points, it is roughly equivalent to 8,000 achievement points shortening the time by several decades.
However, now only one thousand achievement points are needed to shorten the time by several decades.
According to this exchange rate...
It doesn't seem unacceptable.
Then, Lin Yang's eyes flashed, and he suddenly asked:
"System, according to the exchange rate of the task reward plan just now, one thousand achievement points is equal to 100 million national treasures. Can I pay another 100 million national treasures?"
After the words came out, the system seemed to be silent for a moment before slowly replying:
"Sorry, host, there is no exchange ratio between national treasure value and achievement points."
"National Treasure Value cannot be converted into Achievement Points!"
"The self-selected reward for the mission just now is a special case. You cannot exchange national treasure points and achievement points in this way."
“Therefore, you cannot use 100 million national treasure points to replace 1,000 achievement points.”
"...Okay." Lin Yang was speechless.
He admits.
He was just trying to take advantage.
After all, achievement points are hard to earn.
Now that it didn't work, Lin Yang didn't take it to heart, but asked again:
"If we still use the national treasure value, how much national treasure value would we need to shorten the time by a few decades? Is it still 800 million?"
If it still only requires a few hundred million, then he doesn't have to rush to upgrade.
After reporting back to the Alien Management Bureau and finishing my mission, I'll ask for leave and go to earn some national treasure points and then upgrade.
Anyway, it is not necessary to upgrade immediately.
However, the system is Tao:
"Host, continue the conversation to shorten the remaining time of this hibernation upgrade. The required national treasure value will increase exponentially."
"Therefore, if we continue to use the national treasure value to shorten the remaining decades, it may take billions of national treasure values."
Lin Yang was silent.
After a while.
"Okay, then use achievement points to upgrade."
It is still quite cost-effective to use a thousand achievement points to shorten the time by several decades.
He now has over 100,000 achievement points.
Just spend a thousand.
Whether it’s national treasure value or achievement points, the money you earn is meant to be spent!
Since using achievement points is more cost-effective, there is naturally nothing to consider.
After all, he couldn't afford to wait for decades.
Spending billions more of national treasures to shorten these decades would be too cost-effective.
"Money is a bastard. I'll earn it again after I spend it!"
Lin Yang muttered to himself, waved his hand, and generously asked the system to deduct one thousand achievement points.
More than 100,000 yuan, spend 1,000 yuan.
It’s worth the money!
"Dear host, thank you again for your generosity. This system is about to start the dormant upgrade. Please confirm your authorization!"
After deducting one thousand achievement points, the system's voice sounded not only more excited to Lin Yang, but even a little flattering.
"Confirm authorization and upgrade immediately!"
Since the upgrade only takes six months to complete, there's no point in waiting.
He also wanted to know what secrets existed in the unknown space.
And the situation in that higher-dimensional universe!
at the same time.
During the time he was talking to the system, Suzaku had successfully returned to the Human Alliance headquarters.
"Members of the fourth team, please go to the Alliance General Affairs Conference Hall immediately to report on your mission!"
As soon as they arrived at the headquarters, Lin Yang and his team received an order to report their mission immediately.
"Here comes with bad intentions!"
Que Tian muttered something.
Lin Yang's eyes narrowed slightly, he sorted out his thoughts, and walked into the headquarters building.
