Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station
Chapter 822 - 242: Glass Bead (4)
But more than that, it is definitely those ordinary Psychics struggling bitterly within the Empire to protect their own Enlightenment Nerves.
Powerful Psychics have the ability to protect themselves, but weak Psychics have no room to struggle.
Chen Ming had experienced firsthand what it’s like when a Psychic’s Spiritual Energy is weak.
Even though he now has the ability to protect himself, he doesn’t want to witness such a scenario.
So Chen Ming thought for a long time, slightly altering his original idea, and said: "Use it for research, understand whether a Psychic has the ability to possess a second Enlightenment Nerve."
"If it’s not possible, then try to implant it in a regular person, to see if they can possess Spiritual Energy similar to this Enlightenment Nerve."
"What if none of these work?"
"If none of them work, then throw the Enlightenment Nerve into the frozen Hibernation Pod. Since that civilization created the Spirit Awakening Nerve Extractor, they must have equipment to use these extracted Enlightenment Nerves."
"Once these items are found, we can reconsider the usage of this extracted Enlightenment Nerve."
Chen Ming’s words did not mention any idea of leaking the technology related to the extraction of the Enlightenment Nerve, nor did he wish to have any discussion with anyone about the technology of Enlightenment Nerve.
Bai Quan, at this point, hadn’t noticed any issues, and just naturally said: "That’s a good idea."
"However, speaking of this, the Empire currently only knows the name and rough effect of the Spirit Awakening Nerve Extractor, but hasn’t obtained the actual equipment yet."
"Previously, with the information you provided, if the task was executed normally, this equipment should have been on the task plan, but unfortunately..."
"I don’t find it unfortunate."
Chen Ming did not hide his thoughts from Bai Quan and said: "I even think it would be best if the Empire never obtains this equipment."
"For you Psychics, indeed."
Bai Quan had already thought about this when he first learned about the concept of the Spirit Awakening Nerve Extractor, he immediately understood Chen Ming’s meaning, and said: "But you don’t have to be too pessimistic."
"From the current research, the Spiritual Energy awakened by a Psychic is definitely the most suitable for the Psychic themselves. Other people trying to replace it, the cost, difficulty, and effect all could not be ideal."
"A naturally born Psychic and an Enlightenment Nerve, definitely the Psychic is of higher value."
"Yes, hopefully so."
Chen Ming knew that Bai Quan’s words were not wrong, but human greed is undoubtedly endless.
Bai Quan also knew that many times, many situations do not unfold ideally, there will always be people willing to take risks to do things with greater risks.
Moreover, Chen Ming now seemed unwilling to speak further on this, so he said nothing more.
Watching Chen Ming create two robots next to him, carrying the Hibernation Pod and turning back towards the Stardust Level, Bai Quan suddenly changed the topic, saying: "By the way, how did you know he was hiding right below?"
"I actually didn’t know, but since we were already in place, it’s impossible for me to investigate the entire large Planet, so I could only investigate the vicinity, and I happened to find him, which I didn’t expect."
"I estimate his thoughts align closely with what you just guessed, that is, he first left his sword on the Planet to distract me."
"Making me think he left the sword here to distract me, while he himself hid elsewhere."
"But he actually directly drilled down and hid underground, just waiting for others to save him, and happened to be caught by me."
Bai Quan asked, "Then why did he choose not to run again? If he could hide elsewhere, you probably would have a hard time pursuing him, right?"
"One reason is he ran out of Spiritual Power, he can’t escape long distances anymore; you see he didn’t resist when I caught him."
"Battling with me earlier already consumed a lot of it, in the end he didn’t dare to give up in the confrontation with me, consumed more power, resulting in no Spiritual Power left."
"Another reason, he possibly believed underground where the sword was, safer than other places, he gambled on me checking other areas and not here, but he lost the gamble, leading to this outcome."
Chen Ming said, pressing his hand against the slowly moving Hibernation Pod carried by the robots next to him, gazing at the ordinary face inside the pod.
Without the previous madness and hatred, the Black Mist Spirit Ability User looks like an ordinary person.
But Chen Ming suddenly shook his head, saying the current appearance is all false.
But the previous eyes of hatred could not be falsified.
He sighed.
"It’s Zuo Jing again."
Bai Quan suddenly said: "No, it was Lou Wei and his group who did it."
Chen Ming paused for a moment, then slowly nodded his head.
