I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second Chapter 690: The Big Boss Brought More Good Stuff Back!

Upon rubbing his eyes and confirming the commander in the sky was none other than the Martial Emperor himself, the Martial Emperor Guards did not hesitate for a moment, immediately charging towards Lin Yi with their weapons drawn.

This time, Lin Yi opted not to engage in a direct brawl.

Exploiting Heihou's momentary disadvantage, he swiftly utilized the "Plane Token" and vanished into the spatial rift, returning to Blue Star.

"Who would have thought this mishap would aid your escape? You're quite fortunate, kid," Great Saint's voice resonated once more from within the Space Channel, addressing Lin Yi.

"That fellow lacks your means of traversing dimensions, but if you leave him on Shadow Devouring Star, he might eventually devise a method for planar travel himself – a troublesome prospect for Blue Star."

Great Saint’s face registered a feeling of profound relief.

Having been in service to that formidable figure for so long, Heihou might have indeed acquired some cunning skills.

Lin Yi gave a nod.

Heihou's significant regard for the perspective of the populace of Xiang Wuxing was something that genuinely surprised Lin Yi.

Had Heihou not deliberately restrained his power, Lin Yi would have faced immense difficulty in escaping.

"Speaking of which, Great Saint, who exactly is it that instills such fear in you? Could you elaborate a little?"

Blue Star, Xia.

At the headquarters of the Blue Star Professional Alliance, Xu Sheng was presiding over a vital meeting.

Ever since Blue Star’s will began to expand and the planet started receiving power from other worlds, the roster of combat-ready individuals had expanded dramatically.

Recalling the events of years past, the emergence of even a single War God would have sent Xia into nationwide celebrations.

Who could have fathomed, following Lin Yi's strategic actions, that the number of newly registered War Gods would now stand at an astonishing fourteen? It was a truly remarkable figure.

"Depending solely on Lin Yi's accomplishments would severely stunt our developmental pace. Now, with our Blue Star Professional Alliance teeming with experts, if we detect any signs of other galaxies, why not consider a bit of plundering? Mr. Zhou, what are your thoughts?"

Zhou Heyu, having served as the Alliance Leader of the Xia Professional Alliance for many years, possessed a foresight superior to Xu Sheng's in the strategic deployment of professionals and their subsequent long-term growth.

Consequently, Xu Sheng generally sought Zhou Heyu's counsel before finalizing critical decisions.

"My opinion may not carry much weight, but the professionals from various nations are growing restless. Since Blue Star’s nations established peaceful coexistence, opportunities to earn military merits have diminished, and many valuable items remain unobtainable through exchange. I believe this is a sound proposal."

The Alliance Leader truly lived up to his esteemed title.

Zhou Heyu's considerations were indeed aligned with the fundamental needs of the professionals.

"Currently, acquiring Body Refining materials or elemental energies presents no significant challenge for us. However, everyone seems to have overlooked a crucial point: the production of skill point source crystals on our Blue Star is finite."

As Blue Star's collective will grew more potent, the rate at which Blue Star professionals advanced in their levels correspondingly increased.

Enhancing one's strength necessitates a parallel advancement in skills to keep pace.

Lin Yi, in his initial ascendance, had secured his title as the nation's top scholar by employing Forbidden Curses.

Now, with professionals leveling up at an accelerated rate, skill points have become increasingly precious commodities.

The agency tasked with distributing reward missions found itself compelled to reduce the skill point rewards due to overwhelming demand; yet, even with these adjustments, numerous professionals diligently undertake daily missions, desperately seeking skill points.

A multitude of professionals have even voiced their discontent, escalating their complaints from local mission management offices to the central authorities.

Even ordinary citizens are encountering difficulties, as the exchange ratio for converting military merits into skill points requires adjustment. This situation persists despite Blue Star's rapid advancement and the evident overall enhancement of professional strength.

However, the inherent imbalance in development and the scarcity of resources remain persistent, unresolved issues.

It was no surprise, therefore, that Xu Sheng, a proponent of peace, voiced such ambitious sentiments.

Zhou Heyu appeared to refrain from giving a direct endorsement, but upon deeper scrutiny, his acknowledgement of Xu Sheng’s proposition implied its inevitable implementation.

"However, without the Dragon God War God stationed, wouldn't such aggressive action risk unpredictable losses? Our Blue Star currently boasts several War Gods at the Harmonization Layer, yet a professional matching the absolute strongest has yet to emerge. Without such a formidable individual to counter the most powerful entities of opposing planets, it will be difficult to secure an advantage, let alone bring back skill point source crystals."

"Thomas's concern is quite valid. Furthermore, given Blue Star's current technological capabilities, we cannot definitively ascertain whether the target planet possesses skill point source crystals akin to Blue Star."

Representatives from the Ribuluo Country and Maoxiong voiced their skeptical viewpoints.

The atmosphere of the meeting grew immediately tense.

Xu Sheng understood their perspective.

Perhaps taking on risks offered a glimmer of hope, but without attempting anything, there was absolutely no chance of success.

Lin Yi had ventured alone into the higher dimension; the perils he faced undoubtedly surpassed those encountered by any professional on Blue Star. Could they truly place the entire burden upon this young man's shoulders? Xu Sheng certainly would not do such a thing.

Should they consider increasing the extraction volume of the skill point source crystals?

This course of action was deemed inadvisable; excessively draining the mines would lead to their destruction, much like exhausting all resources and consequently blocking all future paths.

Just as the conference room was enveloped in silence, a pleasant voice resonated from the center of the meeting area.

"Ha, it's merely a matter of skill points? Is it really that significant?"

Following the sound, who else could it be but Lin Yi, accompanied by his two female companions?

Upon seeing Lin Yi's return, Xu Sheng and the others could not contain their elation, immediately rising to greet him.

"Kiddo, you're back so soon?"

"Boss Lin Yi, I'm aware your 'Blessing' skill allows you to bestow skill points upon others, but with so many professionals on Blue Star, how long would it realistically take to grant a Forbidden Curse to each individual?"

"How dare you address the Dragon God War God in such a manner! Lord Dragon God War God's gracious bestowal of blessings is already a profound generosity; how can you dare to find fault?"

Bestowing skill points gradually through the Blessing skill?

Before long, Lin Yi's own skill points would be significantly depleted.

While everyone warmly welcomed Lin Yi back, he activated "Light and Shadow Intertwine," repositioning Zhou Heyu in front of him.

"Mr. Zhou, please place your hand on this stone."

With that instruction, Lin Yi produced a Spirit Awakening Stone and placed it directly before Zhou Heyu.

Huh?

Bewildered, Zhou Heyu hesitantly placed his palm upon the Spirit Awakening Stone.

Instantly, a brilliant golden light erupted, capturing everyone's attention and bringing the lively discussion to a sudden halt.

As for the protagonist, Zhou Heyu, he was even more profoundly astonished.

His eyes widened considerably, filled with a shock that was no less intense than the augmentation effects he had experienced from the Body Refining Milk.

"This, how is this even possible!"

"Dual control panels? And they're universal?!"

Indeed, the Inner Court and skill enhancement panels were akin to operating entirely different mobile phone systems to play a game.

Imagine inputting your game account details, only to discover that your account data is universally compatible across all systems; who wouldn't be utterly astounded by such a revelation?"
