《Extraordinary 40K·Golden Era》Chapter 7 the energy crystal

The next morning, Ahern opened his eyes at exactly eight o 'clock.
"Has anyone been here while I've been away, Quinn? "Ahern asked casually at breakfast.
A tin bucket robot next to Ahern's seat, struggling to fry an egg, replies with flashing electronic eyes: "Sir, in the three months, seven days and nine hours since you left, there have been 16 requests for messages. Will you accept them?"
"Receive."
"Yes, Sir. Your Excellency Huang Wenqing, the dean of the college, called to inform you that you will attend the transcendental assessment in one month. At that time, you will take the Apollo spacecraft of the college to the nearest Iron Whirlwind Galaxy. Please get ready in advance.
Six students from the Chaozuo Institute have applied for the competition with you, and it has been confirmed that all of them are now in Aurora Institute.
In addition, nine visitors to Aurora University have left messages hoping to get a chance to visit the villa's owner."
"Refuse all unconcerned visitors. In addition, reply to the contest request by saying I agree to the contest. As for the Head of House --" Ahern paused, then said, "Say I know."
A flash of electronic eyes, less than 10 seconds, had done everything.
"Sir, the contest request has been replied. They are very happy that you have accepted the application for the match. The specific time and order of the match have been sent to your communication terminal. Please note that check."
Ahern nods and continues to enjoy his hearty breakfast.
...
The frigid air shoots out of the muzzle, creating a trail of ice that races toward Ahern.
Ahern's body is electric, protecting it from freezing air.
"Swish, swish, swish, swish..."
Five streaks of white frozen air blasted through Ahern's body with perfect precision.
"Hit it!" Opposite came a loud cry of confidence.
Ahern's eyes sparkled, his lightsaber blurred, and he touched the air mass with almost impossible speed.
"Bang!" The field exploded a frozen ring, a vast expanse of whiteness.
"That will do! The voice is a young man with black sunglasses and hair bristling up, who drops his cigar at the sight of this scene, but his rich combat experience still makes him change his position for the first time.
The ejector at the foot of a rapid sprint whirl, in the hands of the ability to amplify its own super ability of the ice gun can repeatedly injection of frozen gas beam, "over there!"
Ahern sprinted straight at him, and he only had time to shoot two jets of frozen air, both of which he knocked off with his sword.
The lightsaber turned into a flash of electric light, easily breaking through the last resistance of the opponent and hanging on his neck.
"You lost." "Ahern said lightly.
Feel nape neck place to be stimulated by light saber of slight tingle feeling, dark glasses youth darling raise both hands, "oh oh, you say right, it is I lose."

Until then, the audience on the stage did not react, there was scattered applause, there were not many students watching the war, there were only about 20 people in the huge venue, but it had been the largest number of visitors in months.
Compared with the tens of thousands of students in other colleges, the number of students in the first phase of the Extraordinary Institute is less than 100, and even the students in the same school have few chances to see each other -- the Extraordinary people are all training, research and fighting fanatics... All kinds of quirks.
"Winning again!
"Good! This is Game 6, and they don't take more than five minutes."
"As the first student of this year..."
There was a lot of talk in the crowd. Offstage, Ahern's lightsaber drew a circular arc into its sheath and walked up to the stage, ignoring the young man in sunglasses's invitation to fight again.
"You've improved again." As I passed through the alloy aisle, a clear voice rang from the side.
"Is it you? Ahern looked at the man, his beautiful black hair tied up in a bundle at the back of his head, but he was a young woman in a military uniform with bright eyebrows.
The lady in uniform raised her eyebrows. "I just came back from the army and heard about someone who had accepted a challenge from six cadets at a time. I watched your game from start to finish.
"Thank you." Ahern said.
The woman, Huang Weier, the daughter of the academy's president, Huang Wenqing, was a member of his class who had been competing with him until now.
But before that, I heard she had joined the Union Army, only to come back.
"I joined the army just to go to war and learn." Perhaps to see each other's mind, the girl volunteered said.
Ahern's eyes flashed with a clear color. No wonder she had not seen her for several months. Her temperament was even colder, like a titanium alloy sword drawn from its sheath, sharp and clinking.
"Don't think you're the only one making progress," Huang said, leaning against the wall with her chest. Also, Rocky wants me to tell you that he's going to beat you in this Incredible One test."
Rocky, also a member of this class, has been among the top three "top students" since the beginning of the semester, along with Ahern and Vera Huang. Naturally, Ahern, as the chief student, has been the object of their challenge.
Ahern shook her head. "He's no match for me."
"Well, you're too conceited." Somehow, at the sight of his calm expression, Vera Huang got angry. She could not help but make a sarcastic remark, gave Ahern a deep look, and turned to leave.
Ahern shrugged. People don't believe the truth these days. Rocky wants to get the better of him unless he can get the better of the Transcendentals, too.

Although this is a transcendental college, any practitioner who crosses the transcendental from ordinary people looks simple, but in fact it is the gap between heaven and earth.
This is the sublimation of the species, the true transcendental beings in ancient times can be said to be the existence of gods, with the power of the impossible possible, is one of the most important spans of human beings into interstellar civilization.
Even for a starland genius with a lot of resources to cultivate, it takes time and opportunity to become a full-fledged transcendent.
In order not to arouse the suspicion of others, Ahern did not show the power of the transcendence, the enemy is still based on the current to push the power, secretly to strengthen the breakthrough of magnetic field energy.
In the short term, however, penance has not improved much, and Ahern is doing some preparatory work in the meantime.
One day half a month later, in the basement laboratory of his seaside villa, Ahern looked at the test tube in his hand and was delighted.
"It worked!
The pungent, green, sticky liquid in the test tube was the genetic code for the snake, and Ahern managed to crack the code with the help of lab equipment and a number of unsuccessful consultations with experts.
"I don't know if it's true that superhuman beings have the ability to decipher most of the genetic code in a short time."
Shaking her head, Ahern's eyes froze and she pulled out a dusty bag. It was the empty bag.
"It's all up to you this time." He carefully poured a drop of the gene-coded green liquid onto his skin and nervously watched the changes.
The effect was immediate. The surface of the skin rose and fell like water waves. After a while, drops of pungent green liquid oozed from the inside and gathered together along the edges.
"Tough! The alloy table top came into contact with the green liquid and immediately corroded into holes.
Not surprised, Ahern dabbed her hand on the surface of the empty capsule and saw that the dusty surface of the capsule had taken on a new look, revealing the original complex and beautiful leather texture.
This was the true face of the Void, and the Hydralisk, though for some reason it had pretended to be, now belonged to Ahern.
"Good. Here's the coded message to implant it in me."
Ahern is in a good mood. After a short rest, she meditates, pushing the magnetic field to turn its power and pouring it into the void bag.
Unlike the Zerg's genetic information, which determines their future class at birth, Ahern records magnetic abilities acquired through subsequent training.
And the wave of the field characteristic of the magnetic field rotation is the coded message he is about to implant.
The implant took a day and a night, but the first thing Ahern had to do was lie down in bed and sleep to make up for all the effort he had been putting in.
At noon the next day, Ahern, refreshed, opened the Void.
"This is..." Ahern gaped at a pile of transparent crystals inside the empty capsule.
"Energy crystal!"
Its appearance is characterized by a transparent crystal with a flaming surface. Although it is only the lowest green grade, the number is fully 5,000 units.
Although it has never been possessed, this crystal is all too familiar, because its status in the interstellar age is comparable to the strategic value of Ahern's oil to nations in previous lives.
It is claimed to be the most important pure energy of the interstellar age. The environment required for its generation is very harsh, and it takes a very long time. Even in the vast universe, there are only limited resources for stars to produce this mineral.
At present, a total of 926 mineral planets have been found on the surface of the known star region. Around these resource stars, over the past decades, the various nationalities have fought many wars, with the battlefields spanning hundreds of thousands of light-years and the troops invested in the trillions.
Once a site is laid, it is garrison and mined with all its might, almost predatory, all because of its special strategic value.
It is also an important currency for the transcendent.
Once you enter the transcendental realm, the universal coin loses its use, and the purchase of special materials and evolutionary potions is more likely to use the energy crystal as a trade equivalent.
At the same time, the energy crystal, which contains pure energy, can also be used as a catalyst for cultivation or advancement, and is very popular among the transcendent groups of all races.
"Rich this time." To Ahern's heart, also can not help but have a feeling of happiness hit dizzy.
He looked a little queer at the unexpected acquisition of such a large sum at a time when he had just attained transcendence and was desperate for a penny, and the hideous serpent in his image seemed a little more amiable.
Gathering his spirits, Ahern carefully searched for other items, the bones and flesh of some unknown creature - presumably the Hydralisk's food - and, frowning, cleared them all up.
"To be able to have such a harvest, has been an unexpected joy, too greedy can not be good." "Ahern thought, eagerly taking out a standard unit of the energy crystal." I heard that this thing can be used as a spiritual aid, just to see how it works..."

Crimson Pervert
Markus gets - quite literally - thrown into an RPG Fantasy world. Casually gaining game-breakingly great power is the very first thing of course, but afterwards travelling the world, building a harem and having plain fun is on the agenda. Note: No room to hide the fact that this is heavily inspired by the "Death March" web novel. I will give it my own touch by not having a Japanese-ish main character (Japan is cool and everything, but why have a harem if you never ever do something "H" with them?). Everything (characters, story, etc) is basically my creation, but I consider it a re-think of the original, so I can neither call it an "Original" nor a "Fan Fic". Don't expect it to be overly innovative. I will add an 18+ warning as soon as something like that happens, the first chapter just has a bit of undramatic blood. Comments welcome.

He never believed the stories of short mountain men, nor the old fables about mages and dragons. Yet the darkness cares little for belief and faith.
