Cosmic Trading System

This time, Lin Yun really struck it rich.

On his journey back from Venus to Earth, Lin Yun took the opportunity to collect the resources gathered by his twenty-man crew, receiving resources worth over 17 million Spirit Crystals in total.

This means that this time, after leaving Earth, Lin Yun gained resources of over 70 million Spirit Crystals in value.

This was almost equal to half the value of the gold planetoid he had found.

And all this happened in a matter of days?

Only then did Lin Yun realize his extraordinary fortune and the abundance of resources surrounding Earth.

Originally, Lin Yun had been worried about obtaining Spirit Crystals. But now, he was considering how to spend them.

Upon his return to Earth, Lin Yun began to summon those close to him.

"Big brother..."

"Lin Yun..."

"Little Cloud..."

"Boss..."

Soon after, Xia Qingqing, Lin Mengmeng, Zhao Gang, Lin Duoer, Lin Yun's parents, among others, arrived. They were delighted to see Lin Yun. Some people boasted about their current Martial Arts Realm, some began recounting their experiences in the virtual game, and some simply greeted Lin Yun with a smile, then fell silent, listening to the others speak.

During this period, Lin Yun introduced them to an amazing world; each of them had made significant improvements and they were no longer their old selves.

"Your strengths have already been analyzed by the photon brain. I called you here primarily to help increase your strength," Lin Yun said, smiling.

Next, Lin Yun began to employ the Cosmic Trading System to enhance their power.

Firstly, he aimed to uplift their Mental Strength.

Mental Strength was of utmost importance. Once a person's Mental Strength had been elevated, they could fast-track the learning of various things.

However, one's Mental Strength should not be too high - only two levels higher than their Martial Arts Realm.

At present, everyone around Lin Yun had reached the state of Mingjin or above, thanks to the vast resources. Essentially meaning, the weakest was in the Initial Stage of Dark Strength. Lin Yun upgraded their Mental Strength to various levels of Rank 4, which was generally in line with their Martial Arts Realm.

The cost for each person varied from tens of thousands to over one hundred thousand Spirit Crystals, and the overall cost was not exorbitant.

However, there were some exceptions.

The exceptions were Lin Mengmeng's father, Lin Yuanshan, Lin Mengmeng's brother, Lin Jianfei, Zhang Haoran's father, Zhang Wentian, and Lin Yun's Martial Uncle, Zhu Haoran.

After rescuing Lin Mengmeng, Lin Yun swiftly brought her father and brother to him.

Later, he left some resources for Zhang Haoran and his father, as well as his Martial Uncle. After he returned to Huaxia, he invited them to stay at Qingyun Building.

Now, although he did not express it explicitly, it was clear that these people were close to him and could be of service to him.

Lin Mengmeng's father, and Lin Yun's Martial Uncle, Zhu Haoran, were originally at the Peak of Dark Strength. With Lin Yun's help, they easily broke through to the Initial Stage of Huajin. During this period, aided by Lin Yun's resources, Lin Yuanshan had further broken through to the later stages of Huajin.

On the other hand, Zhu Haoran, perhaps due to his old age or lack of potential, remained at the Initial Stage of Huajin.

Lin Yun upgraded Zhu Haoran's Mental Strength to lower Level 5 as he had previously been upgraded to the Peak of Level 4. This time it cost a little over two hundred thousand Spirit Crystals.

Lin Yun also upgraded Lin Yuanshan's Mental Strength to upper Level 5, spending over one million Spirit Crystals.

Zhang Wentian was initially at the Initial Stage of Huajin, and now he was at the later stages of Huajin. However, Lin Yun had previously upgraded his Mental Strength to lower Level 5. This time, he upgraded his Mental Strength to upper Level 5, which cost slightly less than Lin Yuanshan's upgrade.

Lin Yun upgraded Lin Jianfei, Lin Mengmeng's brother, to lower Level 5 Mental strength.

Lin Mengmeng's brother, originally at the Initial Stage of Dark Strength, had quickly broken through to the Initial Stage of Huajin under Lin Yun's guidance, elevating an entire level in a short period.

It was undeniable that he was well-endowed with Martial Arts potential.

"Lin Yun, thank you."

Lin Jianfei, overwhelmed by gratitude for Lin Yun's immense assistance, said.

Having grown up in a martial arts family and later serving as a mercenary overseas, he was worldly and understood the difficulty of advancing in the Martial Arts realm, let alone the elusive Mental Strength.

He realized the magnitude of Lin Yun's help to him and his father.

"No need to be so formal, brother." Lin Yun replied with a smile.

Now, apart from Lin Yun himself, Lin Yuanshan, Lin Jianfei, Zhang Wentian, and Zhu Haoran were capable of independently operating a Level 3 civilization battleship.

Therefore, Lin Yun also taught them how to control battleships, as well as some simple magic that enabled them to perform teleportation.

The strength gap between a Martial Artist capable of teleportation and one incapable of it was vast.

"Teleportation..."

"This ability is so cool..."

Watching the demonstration of teleportation by Lin Yuanshan and the others, everyone else was filled with envy.

"Alright, you can stop feeling envious. Train hard, once your Martial Arts Realm reaches Huajin, I'll upgrade your Mental Strength to Level 5. Then, you can also perform teleportation,"

Lin Yun turned towards the crowd, saying with a smile.

"No problem, just Huajin, right? Watch me break through in two months!"

"That's right, we've already advanced to the state of Dark Strength in such a short time. Dark Strength is easier to train and in no time, we can break through to Huajin!"

"Brother, are you serious?"

The crowd responded with excitement.

The realm of Huajin, the Grandmaster of Martial Arts was being spoken of so casually by a group of newcomers who had only recently started practicing martial arts.

Observing this, Zhang Wentian, Lin Yuanshan, Zhu Haoran, and Lin Jianfei, all the Grandmasters of Martial Arts, felt quite moved.

These people had no clue how hard it was for traditional Martial Artists to break through to the Huajin realm.

In particular, Lin Yuanshan and Zhu Haoran, one was from a martial arts family and the other one from a martial sect, both with traditions spanning several hundred years. They were fairly talented in martial arts, but despite their continuous training for decades, they remained at the Peak of Dark Strength, unable to break through to Huajin.

Although Lin Yun had created a virtual game where anyone could practice martial arts, and many players could quickly improve and better learn martial arts, it didn't negate the difficulty of breaking through to the Huajin realm.

They knew that these people's progress was all thanks to Lin Yun's nurturing.

However, these people likely did not understand the difficulty of breaking through to the realm of Huajin.

Even with Lin Yun's considerable assistance, reaching the Huajin realm was not easy.

Zhu Haoran smiled faintly while Lin Yuanshan's lips curled into a slight grin.

Having lingered at the Peak of Dark Strength for a long time, and recently broken through to the realm of Huajin themselves, they understood the difficulty all too well.

It was not that they were maliciously enjoying the moment, they were just on the verge of laughter, knowing that these people would understand the difficulty only when they attempted their own breakthrough.
