Chapter 161: Lack of Common Sense
“Fourth grade… Space Stone!”
Yi Chen originally wanted to give the dull-looking, dark gray spirit mine a nicer name.
However, he was so used to naming things as they came to mind that he couldn’t change it at the moment.
“Space Stone?”
A glimmer appeared in Bai Ruo Xin’s beautiful eyes.
She remembered that Yi Chen had specifically told her to inform him at the first opportunity if she discovered a spirit mine related to the laws of space.
“It is essential for refining almost any spiritual artifact.”
Yi Chen nodded, confirming Bai Ruo Xin’s guess.
He instructed, “Gather information on how many of these spirit mines exist. Also, notify the Political Council so that the exploration team can go to the area where the Space Stone was found and check for more Space Stones, or even a Space Stone mine.”
“Okay!”
Bai Ruo Xin first placed the third spirit mine on the stone platform and gave a brief introduction before heading to the door to instruct the guard to relay Yi Chen’s orders to the Political Council.
Then, she went to the shelves to count the number of Space Stones.
In front of the stone platform, Yi Chen suppressed his excitement and began to perceive the characteristics of the third spirit mine using his divine consciousness.
As for the Space Stone, whether it could be refined into a space-related artifact or added to other spiritual artifacts to give them the ability to enlarge or shrink would depend on whether its characteristics could be fused.
Then came the fourth, fifth, and sixth…
One by one, the spirit mines were quickly tested for their characteristics.
…
“Ha, amazing! I successfully bought some!”
“I also got a little Space Stone.”
“Oh no, wealth has slipped away; I was too late.”
In the live room, as Yi Chen discovered the Space Stone, it suddenly fell into silence.
However, it quickly became lively again.
This was because the audience in the live room had been busy searching online for Space Stones for sale.
Once they found some, they immediately rushed to place their orders.
They took a gamble, hoping to become overnight millionaires like those who had bought Comprehension Stones when their prices skyrocketed to tens of millions each.
“Looks like someone started buying. Five hundred per pound. I can sell the nearly six-pound Space Stone I just bought for a small profit of two thousand four hundred.”
“No, you lost six hundred. The buying price has risen to six hundred per pound.”
“I’ll buy it for seven hundred per pound; message me if you want to sell. Don’t hoard what you just got, as Space Stones are not that rare of a spirit mine. Otherwise, no one would be able to buy them online.”
“I’ll buy for seven hundred and fifty! Message me if you want to sell; I’ll take as many as you have.”
“Eight hundred for buying!”
“Are they all crazy? Has the live room turned into a trading market? This Space Stone was previously called Black Ink Stone. It had some use in the textile industry, so the price was around one hundred eighty per pound.”
In the live room, people began to share knowledge:
“Buying at eight hundred is definitely a loss. From Yi Chen’s tone, although the Space Stone has its uses, the supply isn’t low. Just like spirit stones, they can speed up cultivation, but if the supply is large enough, the price eventually drops, right?”
“What is truly valuable is the Comprehension Stone, an extremely rare spirit mine that hasn’t been discovered in any resource planet in the entire galaxy so far.”
This analysis made sense, but it didn’t stop the buying price of the Space Stone from rising.
The reason was simple: Yi Chen had early on instructed Bai Ruo Xin to search for it, clearly valuing the Space Stone.
Collecting and reserving some would certainly be profitable.
Moreover, there was another important reason: the price of the Space Stone was not high.
Unlike the Comprehension Stone, where ordinary people could only gaze upon the terrifying prices, completely unqualified to participate.
As a result, many people didn’t care about supply and just bought some first.
The price of the Space Stone surged to over two thousand before stabilizing.
In just a few hours, the price skyrocketed by more than twenty times.
Some mining companies with Space Stone mines saw their stock prices soar, making a fortune by simply lying down.
…
In the artifact forging room.
There were a total of fifty-six new spirit mines.
With his powerful divine consciousness, Yi Chen tested all the characteristics within just over two hours.
His luck was quite good.
He successfully discovered a spirit mine that could be used as the main material for refining a spiritual artifact that stores spirit materials.
Although he hadn’t found a mine for this spirit mine yet, he had collected a significant amount.
Most importantly, this spirit mine was only a second-grade spirit mine.
Refining spiritual artifacts also takes time.
The higher the grade of the spiritual artifacts, the more time it consumes.
Second-grade spiritual artifacts were completely manageable with his current level of strength.
In addition, another find was a spirit mine with extreme flexibility.
Even an average person with a bit of strength could mold this spirit mine like clay.
The greatest characteristic of this spirit mine was its toughness.
If it could be fused with the properties of other spirit mines, it could be refined into a treasure that restrains enemies.
Meanwhile, Bai Ruo Xin had also finished counting the Space Stones early on.
There were a total of thirty-two pieces, weighing about one hundred twenty pounds, including impurities.
In the human federation, even with the price surge, they would only be worth two to three hundred thousand.
But in Yi Chen’s eyes, the value of this batch of Space Stones was irreplaceable, even compared to a spirit stone mine, as their usefulness was simply too vast.
In the future, they would refine treasures that speed up training speed and make it easier to comprehend the laws of the universe. One of the most important supporting materials would be the Space Stone.
“Bring over the Space Stones!”
Yi Chen quickly decided to refine the Space Stones without hesitation.
Soon, Bai Ruo Xin stacked all thirty-two Space Stones on the stone platform.
Yi Chen’s divine consciousness surrounded the Space Stones, causing them to rise slowly.
With a wave of his hand, a crimson flame instantly enveloped the Space Stones.
The temperature of the flame began to rise sharply.
In the blink of an eye, it surged to over eight thousand degrees.
The Space Stones began to liquefy, and the impurities on the outside could not withstand such high temperatures and rapidly vaporized.
Quickly, all the Space Stones liquefied and merged into one.
It became as black as ink, resembling a pool of thick oil.
……
“Ha! The greatest genius in the history of humanity… just wait and see!”
With the outbreak of the race war in their star system, the Intelligence Organizations of various tribes intensified their efforts to closely monitor every move of humanity.
For Yi Chen, they spared no expense, using various means and channels to obtain equipment and instruments that could continuously transmit signals, allowing them to watch the live broadcasts even across star systems.
They sent people to keep a constant watch on Yi Chen, eager to know the movements of this genius who could influence the race war while hiding on a wild planet.
At this moment, many members of the Intelligence Organizations responsible for monitoring Yi Chen couldn’t help but chuckle.
The Space Stone held little value among humanity, which prioritized technological civilization.
In tribes that focused on individual cultivation, it was seen almost as worthless ore.
The reason they said “almost” was due to some high-quality large Space Stones that the strong in various tribes could use special methods to turn into space-type treasures.
What was truly useless were the small Space Stones.
The strong found the artifacts made from them too small to be worthwhile, considering it a waste of time.
Ordinary tribe members didn’t have the ability to craft them.
Ultimately, the biggest reason was that the Space Stones could not be fused together.
Melting a large number of Space Stones together essentially rendered them all useless.
This was common knowledge among the various tribes.
But on the screen, this greatest genius in the history of humanity clearly did not know this fact.
He actually melted all the Space Stones together.
Members of the Intelligence Organizations from various tribes felt a sense of schadenfreude in their hearts.
