Chapter 95
As Su Jing walked to the center of the living room, the system panel in front of her suddenly lit up with a dazzling golden light, more eye-catching than any previous notification. The words "Dungeon Settlement Notification" were displayed in bold in the center of the light, making them impossible to miss.
The "Alien Ore World" instance has been completed! Participant "I Am the God of Wealth" received an overall performance rating of S+, ranking 1st globally (the only one), and the following rewards were given:
1. Special Ability: Ore Manipulation Ability (Can manipulate metallic ores with thought, shaping, strengthening, and assembling them, supporting the creation of weapons, defensive components, etc., manipulation range ≤10 meters, strength increases with ore purity);
2. Points Reward: 20,000 points (automatically deposited into the system account, current total points: 141,400);
3. Space Expansion: Personal space volume has been expanded from 300 cubic meters to 500 cubic meters (new areas have been unlocked, supporting partitioned storage and material classification and labeling).
Note: The Ore Control ability only applies to metal ores that have been acquired and stored in your personal space/within your field of vision. It has no cooldown and consumes a small amount of mental energy.
The golden light membrane lasted for 10 seconds before slowly dissipating. Su Jing could clearly feel a gentle energy flowing into her body through her fingertips, as if countless tiny "threads" had established connections with the minerals in the space—
She could even vaguely perceive the distribution of gold crystals, silver crystals, and hematite in the space through her thoughts, as if those ores were an extension of her body.
She didn't immediately try out her superpower. Instead, she first checked the system panel to see the rewards: her points jumped from 121,400 to 141,400, the "volume display" on the space interface changed from 300m3 to 500m3, and the newly added 200 cubic meter area was automatically designated as the "superpower material area" for storing the ores to be shaped later.
Just then, the previously completely blocked global channels suddenly started popping up notifications like crazy, with pale red, gold, and blue messages flooding the panel like a tidal wave—
Clearly, the system had pushed out the dungeon rankings and rewards to all participants, and the entire internet instantly erupted in discussion:
- Light blue "User 217 from the Flower Country": "Did I see that right? 'I am the God of Wealth' is number one again! And he even got a special ability? Ore control? Can he directly make weapons from ores? That's too outrageous!"
- Red "US User 568": "Didn't Jack and his crew go to rob it? How come she still got first place? I should have gone to the Jinjing Mine too. I've only mined 50 kilograms of hematite. The difference is too big!"
- Gold "EU User 729": "She has superpowers that control ores! I've seen her robot in the dungeon. If she can also make weapons from ores, who can beat her? She'll definitely be number one in the next dungeon!"
- Light blue "China User 893": "Does anyone know who 'I am the God of Wealth' is? He's always so powerful, does he have some secret weapon? Please tell me!"
- "US User 342" in red: "That's unfair! She must have used cheats! Otherwise, how could she mine so much ore and still get first place? I'm reporting her!"
- Gold "EU User 451": "Reporting is useless. The system judged it as an S+ rating. I just asked customer service, and they said her performance was all compliant. She didn't even kill many guards. She won purely through her efficiency and strategy in finding out where she was hiding!"
The messages included a lot of voice messages and pictures. Some people posted their "mining records" (the highest being only 800 kilograms), some analyzed the strength of "ore-controlling superpowers", some tagged Su Jing's "I am the God of Wealth" icon, trying to ask about the specific usage of the superpowers, and some even offered a high price of "100,000 points to buy superpower usage skills".
Su Jing's fingertips swept quickly across the panel without pausing—she knew very well that any response at this moment would attract endless questions, and might even attract the attention of those with ulterior motives, revealing the location of the villa deep in the mountains.
She raised her hand and clicked "Completely mute the channel again" and checked "Refuse to receive all @ messages". The panel instantly returned to its clean state, leaving only the basic space and the superpower interface.
The housekeeping robot "Chef 1" walked over with a cup of hot ginger tea. The screen displayed the villa's real-time status: "Indoor temperature 22℃, heating stove has sufficient coal (can last for 8 hours), outdoor temperature -62℃, wind force 8, no abnormalities in monitoring, infrared alarm detection range 5 meters, no outsiders approaching."
Su Jing took the ginger tea, and the warmth of the cup seeped through her fingertips, dispelling the slight mental exhaustion she had experienced while sensing her supernatural abilities.
She walked to the window and wiped away the thin frost on the inside of the glass—the snowflakes outside were still falling heavily, the snow in the yard was already above her calves, the black moat was completely frozen, gleaming with a cold, hard luster, and in the distant woods, occasionally a withered branch broken by the weight of the snow would fall with a "crack," which was particularly clear in the silent deep mountains.
"I won't go out for now. I'll familiarize myself with my abilities first," Su Jing murmured to herself, her gaze falling on the "Ability Materials Area" in the spatial interface—where freshly mined gold crystal ore, 95% pure, was stored, making it the most suitable material for testing abilities.
Instead of immediately summoning the ore, she first checked the safety of the villa: the sealant on the doors and windows was not cracked, and the thick velvet curtains were drawn tightly, leaving only a narrow gap to observe the snow conditions.
The backup battery indicator light in the corner is lit up green, showing "Space energy has been switched, power 100%";
The patrol robot is still patrolling indoors along a preset route, with its robotic arm occasionally tapping the wall to check for any gaps that might allow air to leak in.
After confirming that everything was safe, Su Jing walked to the open space in the corner of the living room, away from the heater and furniture, where there was enough space to test her supernatural abilities.
She closed her eyes, concentrated her mind, and focused her thoughts on the golden crystal ore in the space—
The "connection line" she had sensed earlier instantly became clear. She could "see" a piece of gold crystal ore weighing about 2 kilograms slowly rising from the space, radiating a warm, bright yellow light, and hovering 1 meter in front of her.
Without any complicated operations, just the thought of "shaping," the gold crystal ore begins to slowly deform: the edges gradually become rounded, the surface becomes smooth, one end slowly shrinks into a sharp shape, and the other end forms a handle that is easy to hold. The whole process is like being kneaded by an invisible hand, without making the slightest sound.
In just 30 seconds, an irregular piece of gold crystal ore was transformed into a prototype dagger—the bright yellow metal surface gleamed with a cold light, and the blade was exceptionally sharp, even reflecting the light from the ceiling.
Su Jing didn't stop, and added more details to the dagger through her mind: she engraved anti-slip texture on the handle, left a small groove at the base of the blade (to facilitate the subsequent assembly of the handle), and controlled the blade thickness to 3 millimeters to ensure sharpness without breaking.
The moment the shaping was completed, she could feel that about 10% of her mental energy had been consumed, but she felt no discomfort. On the contrary, because of the successful activation of her superpower, her fingertips were surrounded by a faint golden luster.
She didn't pick up the dagger immediately, but first brought up the system panel to confirm: [Ore control ability successfully used for the first time, current control proficiency: 1% (can be improved through multiple uses), shaped ore: Gold Crystal Dagger (purity 95%), hardness: ≥3 times that of ordinary steel, sharpness: untested (it is recommended to verify by cutting with an actual object)].
Su Jing breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more at ease.
