Chapter 827: High-Energy Ore
Chapter 827: High-Energy Ore
"Cough—"
"Cough, cough, cough! Hack, hack..."
Several minutes passed.
At the bottom of the vast canyon, Lindsey emerged from a patch of flat soil.
As he burst out from underground, his body unexpectedly leaned forward, and he had to support himself with his arms to avoid collapsing entirely. He then began to cough violently.
"My throat... it's itchy..."
"Ptui—"
Lindsey coughed up a mouthful of black blood.
At that moment, Essence coursed through his body at an incredible speed, attempting to alleviate the discomfort emanating from within.
"Radiant Ore, infused with Essence."
"This is quite the thrill..."
After a few minutes of recovery, Lindsey pushed himself up with both hands and spun around in place, eventually collapsing onto the canyon floor like a sprawling letter.
Whoosh—
The scorching sunlight under the blazing sun shone directly onto Lindsey's face.
The sun, usually a source of warmth, seemed to have its rays intensify, adding to the thrill.
[Material: Radiance Source Stone]
[A piece of radioactive ore infused with Essence. The powerful radiation from the Radiance Source Stone can instantly destroy DNA, kill cells, and take lives while contaminating the surrounding environment. It can also be used as a material to craft other items.]
[A rare mineral material with moderate value.]
Lindsey blinked.
He remained still, wanting only to lie there like a snail, awaiting the healing powers of Life Essence.
Recalling his recent experience, he realized that he had underestimated the capabilities of the Radiance Source Stone even before his earth escape.
After being affected by the Essence.
The radiation from this ore had significantly increased in both quantity and intensity, and it now carried the qualities of Essence.
Beneath the mine, all the soil had been severely contaminated by it.
Lindsey's Multi-Functional Survival Gear, which he was wearing, became ineffective after a distance of over ten meters. Relying on his physique and skills, he forced his way down, and when he was within a 5-meter radius of the Radiance Source Stone, his body still suffered radiation burns, and his movements became extremely slow.
Lindsey gritted his teeth and took a determined step forward.
Using the Builder's Hand's ability to excavate remotely, he managed to knock the stone loose, put it in his bag, and began to flee.
"Cough, cough, cough—"
"My current physique... even if it's at the 5th stage, let alone the 6th stage, it wouldn't appear too weak."
"No wonder Andaphel and his team suffered heavy casualties here..."
"Isn't the effect of this thing a bit over the top?"
Lindsey sighed and marveled at the same time.
After catching his breath for a while, he propped himself up with two blocks and sat leaning against them.
The environmental pollution caused by the Radiance Source Stone was terrifying.
This attribute also meant that the stone could only be stored in his bag.
Otherwise, the moment he took out the Radiance Source Stone.
Not to mention the enemies, but Lindsey himself would have to consume a whole pot of it first.
"Next, the synthesis formula."
"What kind of material can withstand the radioactivity of this thing? It's not going to require mythical metal, is it?"
Lindsey opened the synthesis list.
[1 Radiance Source Stone + 1 Mythical Metal + 3 Polluted Gems + 1 Tainted Wood = Distorter]
[1 Radiance Source Stone + 1 Mythical Metal + 3 Large Crystal Clusters + 1 Energy Gem Core + 2 Alloy Parts = Life Rampage Ray Gun]
[1 Radiance Source Stone + 20 Special Metals + 1 Isolation Shield + 100 Water = Miniature Reactor]
[1 Radiance Source Stone + 2 Special Metals + 1 Special Wood + 1 Eureka Thread = Radiant Fishing Rod]
"..."
Lindsey sat at the bottom of the canyon, blinking in a mix of laughter and tears:
"You've got to be kidding me?
"This thing can be used to craft a fishing rod?"
"If I use it to fish, will it only catch all sorts of monsters and nothing normal?"
These thoughts about the fishing rod made Lindsey chuckle.
He shifted his attention to the other synthesis categories.
Aside from those weapons with names that indicated extreme difficulty in crafting, the Miniature Reactor was something Lindsey could make right now.
"A reactor?"
"It should be used to provide energy, but my shop's power system is self-sufficient. It even has surplus reserves, so I don't need any additional energy supply."
"Hmm... I'll keep it for now."
Lindsey chose to store the Radiance Source Stone in his bag.
Just like the other supplies he had stored, he would find the best use for this item when the need arose in the future.
Moreover, due to the danger of the Radiance Source Stone, Lindsey would not bring it out again until he had to use it, and even the step of transferring it from his bag to the shop's warehouse would not be taken.
"Oh, the sun."
Lindsey closed his eyes slightly, shielding himself from the sunlight above, but his vision was still filled with redness.
"..."
"Logically, sunlight is also a form of radiation."
"But it's different from mineral radiation and has become the energy source for countless species on the earth."
"Thermal radiation... how do you calculate thermal radiation again?"
"Teacher, I'm sorry..."
Above the gorge, the sun rose and set.
As night fell, Lindsey, who had been lying on the ground for a long time, stopped his thoughts and slowly got up, leaning on the earth behind him.
"Pat-a-cake—" Lindsey took a few steps in place and then tried to jump.
The recovery ability brought by the Life Essence was indeed powerful.
His body was now able to move freely, and with the aid of the Eternal Mark, the earth beneath his feet provided support for his condition.
However, Lindsey still felt that something was off all over his body.
Skin, flesh, bones...
Every part of his body had a tingling sensation, which was an inevitable feeling during the body's recovery and the price to pay for collecting rare materials.
Under the night sky, Lindsey prepared a dinner for himself.
After eating food with restorative effects, a warm current finally drove away the last of his discomfort.
"Alright, let's set off under the cover of night!"
"Next is the node of temporal anomaly."
"According to Sonia, the expedition team had a large number of members, and their speed wasn't too fast. In the end, it took them over two months to travel from there to this mine."
"With my speed, one day? Two days?"
Lindsey continued on his journey under the starry sky.
He occasionally looked up.
The brilliant stars covered the earth, and from the gorge, they seemed to form a river of stars.
As Lindsey admired the scenery, he thought about how to utilize this area of temporal anomaly.
Soon, his attention turned to the Time Anchor.
Before setting off, his goal was to find a way back to the future at this place of temporal anomaly.
But now, with the Time Anchor, the situation seemed to offer more possibilities.
"..."
"A chaotic time and a stable time."
"If I combine these two completely opposite things, perhaps not only I, but others as well, could return to the Dust World?"
