Earth's Alpha Prime Chapter 88
Advertisement
Soon, I reached my residence tower and the doors opened by themselves, as each tower was run by its own Quantum A.I.
Upon passing through the door, I disrupted the equilibrium in my stats using the , which deactivated the State of Harmony.
From there, I walked into the spot that was enveloped in green light and murmured, "5th Level".
Then, I started floating in the green light, and moved upwards through the pathway in the floors until I reached the 5th floor in just a second.
Even though I experienced it a few times already, I couldn't help but be amazed by all the advanced technologies that MJ installed in here.
As I entered the 5th floor, I was greeted by the view of a king sized bed in the middle of a garden that was filled by plants with rainbow coloured leaves.
Those were the Rainbow Plants that were considered under the category of magical trees, since they could improve one's recovery rate of stamina and Spirit Energy within a few meters around them.
While resting on the jelly foam bed, which provided me with comfort that made me feel like I was in heaven, I merged with the skills and .
Once I was done with that, I opened the list of converged skills that I made from using in the past few days.

___________
was a quite useful skill as it would help me in evading and making my attack pattern more unpredictable. In a fight where both sides are evenly matched, unpredictability is a crucial factor.

Coming to , rather than using it as an attack, it's best used to disrupt the opponent in the midst of preparing for an attack.
Even though it was an uncommon grade skill, if used at the right moment, even against high-phase Tier-3 Monsters, it would work like a charm.
As for the , its a skill that comes quite handy when facing Aerial type monsters.
After that, I activated the , since its cooldown ended half an hour ago.
This time, I used two of the uncommon grade skills that I gained from synchronising with Olivia's Moon Origin Sigil.
__________
Lv 10 (Uc) + Lv.10 (Uc) ➝ Lv.5 (R)
Lv 5 (Rare): Uses the soul law to passively visualise almost all entities within the user's radius of 500 meters.
Cost: None
Cooldown: None
__________
Upon merging with , it was like I could see everything in a 500 meters radius around me even with my eyes closed.
With it being a passive skill, it couldn't be turned off and I will always be aware of what's happening in a 500-meter radius around me, even if I don't want to know.
Even though it had its demerits, they were negligible compared to the benefit that the provided me with, which was that I could sense danger at all times and that made it a perfect counter for surprise attacks.
Once I had experimented on it for a while, I rested on the super comfy bed, and thanks to the effect of rainbow plants, my Spirit Energy and stamina recovered in a short period of time.
After that, I called out, "101, you there?"
A palm-sized baby that was identical to MJ, popped up in front of me with a swoosh and chirped while floating in the air, "Grand Ancestor, is there anything you need?"
"Brief me on the Spirit Crystal reserves and their consumption."
The little quantum A.I baby showed a 3D graphical presentation, "Grand Ancestor, there were 1870 Grade-1 Spirit Crystals, 317 Grade-2 Spirit Crystals and 13 Grade-3 ones to start. Out of them, 70% were used for the construction of Earth's Foothold and for it to run an entire month, it will need 20% of the original reserves, so we can currently only keep it running for a month."

Since I know how technologically advanced MJ designs for everything in the Earth's Foothold was, I wasn't surprised that three fourths of the entire Spirit Crystals reserves was consumed for the construction of this place.
But, I didn't expect the maintenance cost to be so high.
Since I already sent some of the Spirit Crystal reserves to Earth for the mass production of common S.E.E.D (Spirit Energy Engineering Devices), I was left with only 7% of the initial amount.
With that, the advanced training facilities in Earth's Foothold would only function for another 10 days.
To solve that, I needed more Spirit Crystals, but the problem is that there are no more Tier-1 and Tier-2 monsters left in our Trial Zone.
The only ones remaining were 43 low-phase Tier-3 monsters out of 45, 34 mid-phase Tier-3 ones out of 35 and 7 high-phase Tier-3's out of 20, totalling 84 monsters.
Except for the high-phase Tier-3 monsters, I didn't intend to kill the low-phase and mid-phase ones, as the other Earth's Alpha-Chosen needed them to grow stronger.
So, I would at most get 7 more Grade-3 spirit crystals from Earth's Trial Zone.
That's quite a considerable amount since one Grade-3 spirit crystal has enough raw Spirit Energy of ten Grade-2 ones. Similarly, one Grade-2 spirit crystal is equivalent to ten Grade-1 spirit crystals.
Still, seven Grade-3 crystals wouldn't be enough for my future plans.
But, I guessed that wouldn't be an issue, as long as I could pass through the barrier that separated the Trial Zones.
I have to see for myself if the peak would be enough for me to enter other Trial Zones. If not, I could only wait till the first tournament took place, and for the Trial Zone barriers to be removed.
But that wasn't my primary concern. What worried me the most was that I had yet to find a Grade-4 spirit fruit to save my grandfather.
Even in the domes of the high-phase Tier-3 monsters that I killed, there were Grade-3 spirit fruits at most.
For that, I intended to finish off the remaining 7 high-phase Tier-3 monsters by the end of Day-6, and if I couldn't find a Grade-4 spirit fruit within their Domes, my only choice would be to search in other Trial Zones.
While I was heading out of my tower with rather stressful thoughts in my mind, I noticed the little A.I, '101' following me.
Since they were A.I's, I couldn't read their minds, but from seeing '101' fidgeting with his fingers, I could tell that he wanted to ask me something but was hesitant to do so.
So, I asked him to tell me what he had in mind. After hesitating for a moment, the A.I brought its courage and asked me for permission to play 'tag' with his fellow A.I's.
Right then, 10 more quantum A.I's popped up, and they all had an expectant look in their eyes. They were the A.I's that took care of everything in the Earth's Foothold.
I couldn't help but smile at their antics and tapped their little heads with my finger, "Why do you little guys need my permission, you can play whenever you want, if that little brat MJ doesn't let you play, let me know, I will take care of him. Alright?"
All 11 of them burst into cheers and '101' thanked me before leaving with the others to play right away, "Hehe, Grand Ancestor is the best... hehehe….."
"105, you were the last one to be tagged in the previous game. So, you should be the one to star….."
Whooshh….
"Tag! You're it!....hehehehe"
"Hey! I was not ready yet….."
Looking at them chasing after each other, my previously tense mood lightened.
Soon after that, I left to kill the remaining high-phase Tier-3 monsters.
