Chapter 1224: Chapter 472: Mechanical Soul Armor (2)

Ning Jing and Shu Qin nodded as well: "Indeed, such a peaceful place is quite rare."

Qian Deli chuckled, leaned back, and said: "I don’t mind, the Hawaiian sun is quite comfortable, but we may not get to enjoy it later~"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen also nodded: "Hey, this place is indeed suitable for cultivation."

"Just that there are too many zombies, squealing everywhere~" KIKI shrugged.

"Alright, since that’s the case, tomorrow we’ll continue to split up and search this island thoroughly, treating it as a time to recuperate," Chen Sixuan said with some relief.

"Alright," Lin Xian said calmly: "Many areas on the island now have signal coverage, so we can maintain contact while moving freely, but it’s best to travel alone."

"Lin Xian," KIKI said to Lin Xian at this moment: "Since we have the chance now, do you think we should try crystal grid evolution? We’ve obtained quite a bit of Level 4 Blood Essence, we could take this opportunity to enhance everyone’s strength, what do you think?"

This piqued everyone’s interest, and Monica looked at Lin Xian with a gentle smile.

At this moment, Lu Xingchen’s eyes lit up, he lowered his hands excitedly and said: "Brother Lin, such a method of cultivation, I am willing to take the risk and try."

"No need to take risks. According to Phoenix Society’s data, those with a Spirit Vibration Value of over 10,000 using Level 4 Blood Essence will seldom face issues, and doing so under a Dark Energy Synchronization Device can even reduce bodily damage," Lin Xian said: "The only problem remains, which is the potential side effects, the one thing we can confirm is..."

He looked around at everyone and said solemnly: "Reduced lifespan."

With those words, everyone’s eyes flickered, but no one seemed tense. Qian Deli burst out laughing: "I thought it was something else, lifespan? Living one more day is a gain; it’s the end of the world, who cares about that."

"How much lifespan is reduced?" Ning Jing asked.

Lin Xian shook his head: "Uncertain, Phoenix Society’s conclusion is based on cellular analysis. At the moment, it seems it would reduce a person’s lifespan by at least 5 to 10 years, possibly more."

After listening, Ning Jing promptly said: "10 years, that’s no big deal. If it can double my combat power, 20 years doesn’t matter either."

"I feel the same way," Shu Qin said.

Lin Xian smiled helplessly: "I agree with you all. If it’s just about lifespan, there’s no big issue. As for other side effects, we’ll have to take it one step at a time."

After he spoke, he directly looked at Ding Junyi and said: "Last night, I had Viola draft a plan. Considering team safety, everyone will be divided into three groups for crystal grid cultivation, using hibernation pods and the freezing system as crystal grid cultivation chambers. I’ll provide the final assurance. We haven’t had prior experience in this area; both Ryan and Vanessa told me that crystal grid cultivation takes at least 72 hours. As a precaution, I’ve already discussed with Monica; she will conduct an experiment first, and once successful, we’ll proceed with batch cultivation."

"Monica?"

Everyone looked at him in unison, and a spirited Brother Huo was about to say something but swallowed it back. Despite his nature being highly tempted by ’cultivation’ improvements, he always supported Lin Xian’s decisions, so he calmed his excited heart. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Monica nodded at this time, smiled at everyone, and said: "Don’t worry, I’ll experience it first for all of you. If I have any insights or experiences, I’ll share them when I wake up."

"Is your current Spirit Vibration Value not yet at 10,000?" Qian Deli asked.

Monica released an almost tangible sound wave into her palm and said: "It’s alright, after that night, I’ve reached 8500, almost at the peak index, barely made it."

They shouldn’t rush the crystal grid matter; they have time now to research it thoroughly.

"Let’s settle it this way."

Lin Xian also understood that if the superpower index of everyone in this current group could be doubled, then even without the Sky Dome Train, many of them could confront special-level foes head-on, perhaps even S-Class.

After speaking, everyone’s expressions relaxed; such downtime is rare. With the island’s abundant resources, everyone can take a break from the tensions of the crisis caused by the Giant Ocean God and volcanic eruptions.

Ding Junyi now looked at Lin Xian and reminded: "The hibernation pod’s Calming Life Support System effectively maintains spiritual stability, but it also has a drawback — if faced with a spirit attack, there’d be no resistance. Even with the Dark Energy Synchronization Device shielding against dark intrusions, it can’t offer complete protection."

"I know." Lin Xian raised a hand and summoned a Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube to his grasp, then looked at Monica: "That’s why I’ve prepared double insurance."

Heterogeneous Rubik’s Cube can shield against fear; this seemed to Lin Xian the most complete scheme possible.

Monica looked at Lin Xian and smiled faintly: "I’m truly touched by you, being so good to me."

Lin Xian replied helplessly: "Can’t help it, you willingly offered yourself up, as the team leader, I must protect you well."

Monica’s lips curled slightly, she glanced at Lin Xian but said nothing.

Later, everyone gathered at the Sky Dome No.2 Ship, the location of the low temperature hibernation pods and Civilization Embryo Room, as well as the functional ship with orbit guidance, star navigation system, and gravity ring system.

Monica, at this moment, released her power armor and approached Lin Xian, dressed in a fitted white inner liner suit, standing beside an opened low temperature hibernation pod.
