Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 476: Chapter 163: Assault

Chen Ming quickly went over to the boss.

The boss was already waiting for him.

The terminal Chen Ming had given him earlier was on the table.

Additionally, the boss had asked for a new terminal, which had already been delivered to the president.

With the help of Spiritual Energy, Chen Ming could create an effect of almost real-time communication, with a delay of less than half a second.

And the confidentiality of the communication was undoubtedly the best in the entire Empire.

Chen Ming sat down in the chair on the boss’s side.

As long as he wanted, he could start a second communication with the president at any time.

Chen Ming glanced at the boss, and after seeing the boss nod slightly, he activated his Spiritual Energy.

After a flicker across the terminal screen in front of him.

Chen Ming successfully connected the terminal in front of him with the one on the president’s side to the instrument.

The president’s screen appeared in Chen Ming’s eyes.

The background seemed to be the lounge of a research institute.

The president was sitting on the couch in the lounge.

He wore square-framed glasses and a white coat, looking like a very stable middle-aged man.

Just from the appearance, he was no more than thirty-five years old, similar to Bai Quan.

Chen Ming initially thought the president was at least in his forties or fifties.

Perhaps he had been in hibernation for a long time, or maybe he was well-maintained?

Chen Ming was unsure, but it did not matter.

He greeted first, ”Hello, President.”

”Hello, Chen Ming.”

The president looked Chen Ming up and down, then transmitted several documents to the terminal in front of him as he spoke, allowing Chen Ming to read the files regarding their last conversation.

”With the confidential communication achieved through your Spiritual Energy, I can now tell you some things I didn’t mention last time.”

”First is the use of Gathering Spiritual Energy Origin that we discussed at the end last time.”

Chen Ming nodded, listening quietly.

”The most basic effect of Gathering Spiritual Energy Origin is to create an environment with high concentration of Spiritual Power and Spiritual Energy Fluctuation, which you might have sensed when you acquired it.”

Chen Ming nodded again to confirm, although the Gathering Spiritual Energy Origin he had was in an environment of active and chaotic Spiritual Energy Fluctuation when it just formed, causing him not to notice it immediately.

However, when he found and took it, the Spiritual Energy Fluctuation on it was very noticeable.

And Gathering Spiritual Energy Origin has the same characteristic as the Spiritual Stone that resonates with Chen Ming.

Chen Ming can use the link between his Spiritual Power and it to restrict the spread of its Spiritual Energy Fluctuation.

Therefore, when Chen Ming trained his Spiritual Power recently, he would first use Gathering Spiritual Energy Origin to create a high-intensity Spiritual Energy Fluctuation environment.

Then, he would utilize the Stone of Chaotic Words, whose effects he still couldn’t withstand, to train with, which was very effective.

”The second effect of Gathering Spiritual Energy Origin is comparatively more complicated and harder to achieve.”

”I mentioned before that another person I know who possesses it chose to use this effect.”

”Specifically, it’s using Gathering Spiritual Energy Origin with Spiritual Energy Essence and some other materials, to actively construct a Spiritual Stone of his own through extreme compression of Spiritual Power.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Ming couldn’t help but say, ”Is this considered a synthetic Spiritual Stone?”

”That’s correct. This is currently the only known method to create a completely synthetic Spiritual Stone, but unlike regular Spiritual Stones, his Spiritual Stone exhibits his own emotions.”

”Completely synthetic?”

The president smiled at Chen Ming without speaking.

Chen Ming wisely skipped the topic of the synthetic Spiritual Stone and instead focused on the latter half of the president’s words: ”I feel like a Spiritual Stone that changes based on emotions seems... not very suitable.”

”Everyone’s emotions are ever-changing, and normally you won’t experience extreme emotions that allow a Spiritual Stone to have a strong effect.”

”Indeed, a Spiritual Stone with such variable effects isn’t very suitable, but the Psychic owning it doesn’t have these concerns due to their own Spiritual Energy.”

The president didn’t say much more, and Chen Ming didn’t ask further.

Spiritual Energy, after all, is the essence of a Psychic; for those unfamiliar, a general understanding is sufficient.

”This type of Spiritual Stone is collectively known as the Original Spiritual Stone.”

”It is connected to the origin of the Psychic, so it will also, like a Ship Spirit, become imbued with the Psychic’s nature.”

”Therefore, for ordinary Psychics, as long as it’s not used as a regular Spiritual Stone but as an auxiliary tool to harness the nature of Spiritual Energy, it’s still very promising.”

”This is a more stable way to enhance Spiritual Energy compared to unstable entities like Ship Spirits.”

After discussing this use, the president seemed not inclined to continue further.

This prompted Chen Ming to ask again, ”Is there no other function?”

”Basically none, even the now-extinct civilization’s research into Gathering Spiritual Energy Origin wasn’t deep.”

”According to the documents I found, only a non-functional use remains.”

”Gathering Spiritual Energy Origin can be fed to animals, as animals can awaken Spiritual Energy much more easily than humans, so it almost guarantees a 100% success rate in cultivating Spiritual Creatures.”

At this moment, the boss interjected, ”The one in your pocket doesn’t need it; it’s already a Spiritual Creature.”

Chen Ming casually took the little stone creature sleeping in his pocket and placed it on the table.

This little guy, just like him when he first became a Psychic, didn’t know how to hide its own Spiritual Energy Fluctuation.
