Standing in front of the black crystal, Du Beiye’s eyes widened in shock. She pointed at the massive crystal and asked, "Sister, where did you get this thing?"
"I found it inside a cave at the border of Luyang City."
"How could it be possible? Even in the Tarakam civilizations, the Sthanam crystal is very rare and categorized as an SS-rank energy crystal. It’s impossible for this crystal to be found in this Blue Planet," Du Beiye said in disbelief.
The reason for the high rank was none other than the ability of the black crystal to grow and multiply by itself. As long as it was planted in a place where energy was abundant, it would be able to grow five centimeters every year.
Even though the growth sounded like nothing, a five-centimeter Sthanam crystal could be used to recharge nanoweapons for fifteen months. Therefore, the circulation of the crystal was highly controlled by the Kingdom.
Jiao Lizhi understood why her sister was so shocked and replied, "That’s why I brought you here. Since your system lacks energy, see if you can use this crystal to recharge."
With a wave of her hand, a piece of Sthanam crystal around fifty centimeters long flew toward her sister.
The moment she saw this, Du Beiye didn’t hesitate and said, "Krayan, convert the crystal into energy."
In a split moment, the crystal in her hand disappeared and turned into energy. After a moment of pause, a mechanical voice echoed in her mind.
"Energy conversion successful. The system energy level is one hundred percent. The system’s energy reserve has been recharged. The current level is twelve percent."
Hearing this, Du Beiye looked at her sister and said, "Sister, it worked! Krayan’s energy level reached one hundred percent, and the energy reserve has been recharged to twelve percent." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺
Jiao Lizhi smiled and handed her another piece of crystal, the size of sixty centimeters. "Recharge the energy reserve just in case."
Du Beiye nodded and said, "Krayan, convert the crystal into an energy reserve."
"Energy conversion successful. Current system energy reserve is one hundred percent."
"Sister, it’s done. My system’s energy reserve is full," Du Beiye reported. After a moment of silence, she asked, "But Sister, you gave me so much. Will your system lack energy later?"
Compared to her combat system, her sister’s system needed more energy to support the space and activate the functions.
Noticing her sister’s concern, Jiao Lizhi smiled and said, "Don’t worry. I don’t know the reason, but the Sthanam crystal grows faster after I plant it in my space. Each of them grows by one meter daily."
The moment she heard this, Du Beiye couldn’t help but think of a ’what if’ situation. If they were able to return to their home planet, wouldn’t the two of them become billionaires by selling the crystal?
Not knowing her sister’s thoughts, Jiao Lizhi waved her hand and handed her a pile of smaller black crystals. "Keep this as a backup. If you need more, just let me know."
Du Beiye was not polite with her sister and stored the crystals in her inventory. She nodded and replied, "I will tell you if I need more."
"Okay."
Thinking that she would be leaving the base tomorrow, Mo Junjie said, "Wait for me."
The moment the researchers saw him leaving, one of them asked, "Professor Mo, where are you going?"
Without looking back, Mo Junjie replied, "I will be back in a while. Just do what you should do."
Everyone looked at his back with curiosity. After they saw how he worked during the zombie maggot case, they knew he wouldn’t leave his work unless there was delicious food.
For him to go out after only one call, the person calling must be someone important or of high status.
Not knowing about the misunderstanding, Mo Junjie walked out of the building and saw Du Beiye waiting for him outside the gate. He hastened his steps and reached the gate in five minutes.
"What brings you here?" he asked when he stood in front of her.
Noticing the guards’ peering eyes, Du Beiye held his wrist and pulled him to the corner before saying, "I came to give you something."
"What is it?"
Soon after his words fell, Du Beiye pulled at his collar, and Mo Junjie felt a pain similar to an ant bite on his neck, followed by a tight sensation, as if something had been injected into his vein.
