BXBX NOVEL Chapter 135 - The Megatsunami of the Century
Chapter 135: The Megatsunami of the Century
A week ago.
The Bitver Empire announced that they would build a 50-meter tall steel wall along all the coastlines of their territory.
The world was in an uproar.
Everyone thought that the Bitver Empire had gone mad.
Building a wall on the coastline would take an impossible amount of work power.
Before long, other Western powers successively announced that they would also be doing the same.
They did not state the reason for doing so.
In any case, it gave people the feeling that it was a very sudden decision.
Because of this, the people of the West were extremely dissatisfied.
Building walls along the coastline required an astronomical capital.
The countries in the West were rich, but they didn’t want to squander their wealth for a wall.
If this money were used elsewhere, they could solve many problems.
But now, they were using it to build high walls.
Due to rising discontent and potential chaos, authoritative scientific institutions quickly came forward to provide explanations.
They published a scientific article called The Megatsunami of the Century.
The article stated, [Extreme weather has been appearing all over the world. After data collection and analysis, it is estimated that a megatsunami of the century will appear in the next five years.
The scale of this tsunami is unprecedented. The waves are estimated to be more than 100 meters tall, and the wind force to be above level 20.
In order to withstand this tsunami, building high walls is the only feasible solution.
According to thousands of shock tests, a 50-meter high wall can withstand this megatsunami of the century.]
Once the article was published, it caused another worldwide sensation.
Most people thought that this was fake science, a lie that was casually fabricated to appease people.
However, two days after the article was published, the ancient eastern country—Xia Country—also announced their plan to build high walls.
Xia Country also supported the scientific article about the megatsunami of the century.
This time, the world went wild.
A change in perception started here for many people. They began to believe in the scientific article.
From a worldwide point of view, the people of Xia Country were very cautious and would not do anything rash.
For a time, the world was plunged into a panic because of the megatsunami of the coming century.
Although tests showed that high walls could withstand the tsunami, human thoughts could not be taken care of with one wall.
The world had been in a mess for the past few years. The recent news made the people panic even more.
Some people didn’t think that high walls could withstand tsunamis, so they posted an article titled “The Megatsunami of the Century and The End of The World.”
The general content of the article stated that the high walls could not withstand the tsunami. Once the tsunami arrived, the world would be destroyed, and humans would perish.
The article was quickly circulated on the Internet. In just a few minutes, the number of reposts reached billions.
Even though the reposts were quickly stopped, it couldn’t stop the people from telling others, and it reached a point where it became common knowledge.
Some people even suffered from a mental illness known as [tsunami phobia].
Whenever the word “tsunami” was mentioned, the patient would convulse and stop breathing.
Due to this article, commodity prices were increasing rapidly, especially for food-related items. The prices had risen by more than ten times.
Rich people, to prepare for the upcoming world disaster, were scavenging for food from around the world.
After hearing Jin Bao’s account, Qin Chuan now had a better understanding of the current situation.
Then, he flew into the sky and flew around the world.
He arrived near the Western countries.
He saw a brightly lit coastline with construction work in the background. There were trucks on nearby roads.
He saw the same thing when he returned to Xia Country.
Qin Chuan stopped in the air and thought about the current situation.
It was difficult to convince him of the so-called megatsunami of the century.
Indeed, there had been a lot of extreme weather lately. Perhaps there will be a disastrous tsunami in the future.
However, using the entire country to build high walls along the coastline seemed a little too exaggerated.
He thought that the wall’s construction was meant to guard against something other than a tsunami.
Qin Chuan thought of the monsters.
Perhaps no one would know better than him how terrifying monsters were.
In the deepest parts of Devil Sea, there were many monsters whose capabilities were even more terrifying than a Golden Core cultivator.
The emergence of these monsters would cause a true apocalypse.
If walls were really built to ward off monsters, he guessed that the monsters would possibly awaken within the next few years.
Qin Chuan thought for a moment. If they took a few more years to awaken, he would have plenty of time to prepare.
In a few years’ time, everyone in the sect would become a Golden Core cultivator.
More importantly, it was impossible for him to only remain at Golden Core.
There was no need to fear those terrifying monsters anymore then.
Furthermore, when the monsters emerge, he would lead hundreds of Golden Core cultivators to fly in on their swords on the great winds.
That scene… would be very shocking!
By then, who wouldn’t believe in cultivation?
When he thought of this, Qin Chuan felt like he could get the entire country to cultivate.
Qin Chuan returned to Cloud Mountain Guesthouse.
His phone had been charged and could be used normally.
He contacted the supplier of medicinal herbs and ordered enough ingredients for about half a year.
At the same time, he rushed to the southern mountainous region overnight to fetch the Divination students back.
These students had accumulated a lot of good karma. It was time to teach them the true art of divination.
…
Half a month later.
Qin Chuan, who was cultivating in the bamboo forest, received a system notification that sounded like an alarm. It rang non-stop.
Within half a month, the students of the Alchemy specialization diligently refined pills, and the number of Qi Gathering Pills steadily increased. Each person could now get about ten Qi Gathering Pills.
With the help of the Qi Gathering Pill, everyone’s cultivation speed increased.
In the short span of half a month, their overall cultivation level had increased by one class, and everyone was at least in the fourth class of Qi Mastery.
After their cultivation levels increased, Qin Chuan naturally obtained a large number of points as a reward.
He opened the system interface.
The accumulated points showed [32585].
He instantly became a nouveau riche.
Qin Chuan’s mood brightened.
He glanced at the system interface.
Speaking of which, he had been stuck in the second class of Golden Core for a long time.
Ever since he entered the Golden Core stage, his cultivation progress had been slow.
Even though his clone cultivated every day and night, his cultivation progress was still very slow.
Qin Chuan analyzed that this was related to the Nine Revolutions Golden Pill Technique that he had cultivated.
Because of this cultivation technique, his Golden Core had undergone some changes. The amount of spiritual energy required to break through was five to six times more than that required of an ordinary Golden Core cultivator.
He had only covered half of the progress bar.
Qin Chuan thought about it. He had more points now, so he went to the Merchant Shop to look for items suitable for improving his Golden Core cultivation.
In the Merchant Shop, there were many items suitable for the Golden Core Realm. Most everything cost upwards of 10,000 points.
After looking around, Qin Chuan casually chose a supreme-grade spirit stone.
The supreme-grade spirit stone contained boundless spiritual energy.
Based on his calculations, one supreme-grade spirit stone’s total spiritual energy was enough.
Swoosh!
[Points -20000]
In an instant, a long piece of white jade appeared in Qin Chuan’s hands.
With a squeeze, the supreme-grade spirit stone shattered.
Spiritual energy flowed into Qin Chuan’s body like a surging river.
In just five to six breaths of time, he broke through to the third class of Golden Core.
Along with the increase in his cultivation level, all the attributes in his body had increased significantly.
After which, Qin Chuan circulated his cultivation technique to stabilize it.
About three hours later, his realm stabilized.
Qin Chuan stood up and walked out of the bamboo forest.
He had previously set up some cultivation missions. Now that half a month had passed, he wanted to see how everyone was doing.
