How Am I Still Alive?

Chapter 14: Life Bank

The moment he entered the secret realm, Lu Ping'an was still a little stunned.

"....You don't know the reality of 'life' at all, let alone what your abilities mean. The way you use your abilities is stupid and inefficient. You just use the bright sun as a match. Unbearable, you don't even know what you have taken from me! How precious..."

The big cat's anger is still in his ears, and the relationship between the two parties has always been quite delicate.

There is still no answer to the second inquiry. Only when she angers her can you get more useful information.

And she became more and more difficult to provoke when she was overwhelmed.

"What exactly is my ability?"

Inexplicably, after entering this secret realm, Lu Pingan felt more and more that the answer to this question was very important.

At first, he thought the so-called life points were just an ordinary system, a component of a traveler.

But after I really understood this world, I became more and more sure that everything was real. The so-called system is just the arrogant subconscious creation of the transmigrator, and it is the embodiment of the "rule" power.

In the beginning, life points were stamina potions.

Next, it's refreshing medicine and state replenishment.

For myself, it is life-sustaining medicine and painkillers.

Now, it is actually possible to raise the upper limit of pollution that a life can undertake.

"...No, all of these are actually the same thing, they are all life itself..."

Chrissy, who was in a rage, had actually told the truth. The power Lu Pingan gained was actually her opposite.

When she tried to elevate her "reason" to the "truth" of the world and failed, a false proposition as a counterexample was born naturally.

It's just that the writer of the report that day was unable to see the whole truth.

"Life is selfish. In order to survive, you can give up everything, including but not limited to morality and legal kinship."

This is Chris's public teaching, and it is his "principle", but in the final analysis, it is actually a sentence.

"The survival of life is the only and root pursuit of living things."

So, his opposite is actually not the nonsense like "sometimes life can be selfless and sacrificed for others" as the reporter guessed, but something simpler and more in line with Lu Ping's subconscious idea... ..

"...Life can be traded."

When he said this subconsciously, the whole world was different.

He vaguely felt that the "secret realm" was more closely connected with him, and the quaint garden ruins began to silently change.

Life can be traded, stored, borrowed, invested, and installed in installments.

It is neither special nor sacred, just a more valuable special currency.

This is Lu Ping's principle.

"...So, it's the bank, and nothing else."

The quaint palace began to come alive, and the quaint handwriting of "Bank of Life" replaced the "Place of Life's Gladiator" in the past.

Chris's reasoning left in the secret realm was completely replaced by the new owner, the ground gradually began to be rewritten, and the world was covered with new makeup.

[How blasphemous, how absurd! Maniac, is life meaningless to you? ! 】

"No, it's very precious, most people only have it once, so...we need to use it more efficiently."

[Bastard, heretic! Idiot, arrogant lunatic (omitting countless swear words)...]

This is the source of Chris's constant rage, and the grievances in it even far exceed the failure to ascend to God.

In her opinion, what an arrogant and cruel "principle" this is, it pulls life down from the sacred temple, and turns the supreme pursuit of creatures into a dirty general equivalent.

There is no doubt that this is the most serious blasphemy against the merciful Mother Goddess!

But she must admit that, from the results, Lu Ping'an's principles are closer to the essence of life, and more pleasing to the mother god... Therefore, all her anger and anger can be classified as losers' Incompetent fury!

"Converting life into life points and using it more efficiently is the essence of my ability."

At this moment, looking at the mountains and dense forests in the distance, Lu Ping'an smiled.

He finally knew what he had, and what he took away from poor Chrissy.

"The Curse of Copper and Iron, the Law of Silver, the Rule of Gold, the Law of Eternity... Hehe, it's really a good starting point."

Now, Lu Ping'an understood everything.

In fact, the prompt existed from the very beginning.

[...Received a law-level (quasi-god-level) ability—the gift and reward of life. 】

[It is detected that Lu Pingan, the winner of the festival, has lost his life, how can the winner of the festival of the Mother of Life lose his life! Readjusting and upgrading the gift of the Mother Goddess, "Gift of Life".... Burning the spiritual essence of the loser Kirdales, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com makes up for the gap! 】

[The difference has been made up, and the law ability has been upgraded to a rule-level ability. Congratulations to the host Lu Ping'an, the awakening of the rule-level (God-level) ability - Life Bank. 】

Open the prompt panel of the system, the prompt and answer have been written in the first column.

Without Chrissy's "sacrifice", his ability would also be the use of life force, but only limited to "gift" and "return".

The current upgraded version is closer to the essence and has more powerful functions... but it has not changed the "principle" contained in it, and it is still "effective use of life".

At this moment, Lu Pingan also understood why Chris was reluctant and had to admit that "gardener" was the most suitable way for him.

Because the seemingly harmless gardeners are the best at playing with the sequence of life...

"It's never difficult to get a job as a gardener, you just need to plant a seed of a 'magic plant' in the sacred place of the girl in the forest, and then wait for it to grow over three meters. Pick some fast-growing species, If it's fast, half a year will do, meow. But it just takes a lot of time, too much time..."

Lei Shuiyun's nagging was still in his ears, but Lu Ping'an laughed.

He pulled out a seed of a demonized ancient pine from his pocket, threw it on the ground, and continued to move forward without looking back.

The next moment, among the traces they walked, ancient trees rose from the ground.

While the cat was still chatting, the ancient tree had become a member of the forest and began to plunder the surrounding living space.

The journey between the two has just begun, and only the sound in his mind told Lu Ping'an that everything was over.

[Di, congratulations to the host, the inauguration ceremony is completed, and the class 'gardener' is obtained. 】
