Chapter 59 Crystal Core
Just after midnight, the rain, which had been held back for a long time, began to fall simultaneously all over the world as if it had received an order.
If someone looked outside at this time, they would find that all the wandering zombies walked to the outside where there was no shelter, raised their heads and stopped where they were, devoutly accepting the baptism of the rain.
"The sky is clear, the rain has stopped, and I feel like I'm fine again!" Xiangwen took a breath of the fresh air outside, got rid of yesterday's irritability, and felt particularly relaxed.
"The sky is clear now, the rain has stopped, and I think your skin is itching again." Mu Qimai passed by behind Xiangwen and slapped him on the back of the head, "Hurry up and finish your meal and pack up your things."
Yesterday, it was all thanks to Shuxin's protective circle that the impact of the unknown energy on them was reduced. This morning, when Shuxin woke up, she didn't look as energetic as usual. Fu Xiangwen and Maki Qimai thought that Shuxin had overused her supernatural powers and was a little tired, so they took the initiative to take on the job of packing up.
Facing the concern of Fu Xiangwen and Makimai, Shuxin smiled sheepishly and glared at the culprit sitting next to her without saying a word.
But the culprit had no awareness at all, as if she was out of spirits and had nothing to do with him. He behaved perfectly normal and fed Shuxin the porridge spoonful by spoonful.
"Humph! I'm out of spirits and it's all your fault!"
"Okay, okay, blame me, blame me, open your mouth, ah~"
Her hands were almost broken after finishing it last night, but Yan Mo still didn't let her go. He was still not satisfied and wanted to do it a second time.
She shamelessly seduced herself with her most irresistible beauty.
The most annoying thing is that I couldn’t resist the temptation!
As a result, when she woke up this morning, her hands were sore. Shu Xin'e took a big bite of the bun that Yan Mo fed her, as if she was chewing the bun as Yan Mo himself, and she bit very hard with each bite.
Not long after they set out, they encountered a dozen zombies on the road.
"Huh? Has the zombie become more agile? The lag and stiffness in its movements are gone. They were so slow yesterday."
Shuxin lay on the window through the glass, observing the group of zombies.
"Well, they are indeed a lot more flexible. Their movements are almost the same as those of normal people. I don't know how they can change so much in just one day." Makimai used the wind blade to cut off the head of a zombie that was about to approach.
After a pause of one second, the four of them all thought of the difference of yesterday and said in unison: "The rain last night!"
"It seems that the rain has made them evolve. Xiangwen, stop the car by the roadside and let's go down and take a look."
Yan Mo knocked on the back of the driver's seat.
The four men got out of the car and quickly dealt with the dozen zombies that rushed over. Yan Mo pulled out a long knife from the trunk and cut open the brains of several zombies one after another, revealing an irregularly shaped crystal inside.
Yan Mo picked it up with a knife and rinsed it with water that had melted from ice during the extremely hot season.
Now they could see the full picture of the crystal. It was an opaque, matte white color with an uneven surface and pits and depressions. It didn't look like anything special.
"The rain from yesterday contained the energy they needed, allowing them to successfully condense crystal cores. My spiritual ability can sense that the energy contained in these crystal cores is very similar to the energy in our bodies. It should also be useful for us to cultivate our superpowers. After killing the zombies, remember to dig out the crystal cores inside."
Yan Mo stroked a crystal core in his hand, closed his eyes and felt the inside of the crystal core, and said.
"This is the crystal core. I've only seen it in novels before, but today I finally see the real thing." Shu Xin observed the crystal cores with some curiosity.
The original book did not elaborate on the specific description of the crystal core. It simply said that the misty white crystal core had no properties and the energy inside could be absorbed by all psychics.
Red is fire, green is wood, blue is water, yellow is earth, orange is gold, purple is thunder, cyan is wind, transparent is ice, pink is spirit...
The higher the level of the zombie, the higher the energy contained in the condensed crystal core, and the purer the crystal.
When a psychic absorbs crystal cores that correspond to his or her attributes, his or her abilities can be increased faster and with higher purity than when he or she absorbs crystal cores without attributes.
However, crystal cores with attributes are much harder to come by than crystal cores without attributes, and those with spiritual and spatial attributes are even rarer.
This also indirectly leads to the fact that the strength of psychic and space-type psychics increases more slowly than that of other psychics, which always makes people mistakenly believe that these two types of psychics are auxiliary psychics and do not have great destructive power.
It was not until the emergence of high-level psychics that the stereotype in people's minds was broken.
I dug out all the crystal cores of the dozen or so zombies I just killed, but not a single one had any attributes.
Crystal cores were found in the zombies' brains. Shuxin and his friends were following along the way. Whenever they saw zombies, they would excitedly stop the car and rush over. They would kill them in no time, dig out their crystal cores, and then happily rush to the next place where there were zombies.
Mainly, Shu Xin and Mu Xiangwen were more excited. Yan Mo pampered Shu Xin and Mu Qimai listened to Yan Mo, which resulted in the situation where they were chasing after zombies all day.
If zombies had their own thoughts, they would definitely shout: Don’t come over here! Don’t get close to me!
"...367, 368, 369...479, 480!"
In the evening, Shu Xin and Xiang Wen excitedly gathered together to count their harvest of the day.
"Wow, we have collected 480 non-attribute crystal cores today, in addition to five fire-attribute crystal cores, three wind-attribute crystal cores, three water-attribute crystal cores, one wood-attribute crystal core, and one earth-attribute crystal core."
Shu Xin happily shook Yan Mo's arm, with joy in her voice.
"Well, take the fire and wind crystal cores directly to Xiang Wen and Qi Mai, and temporarily put the other attribute crystal cores in a box in the space. When the base is built later, we can use them to exchange with others for the ones we can use. The crystal cores without attributes can be divided equally."
Yan Mo pinched Shu Xin's face and distributed the crystal cores collected today.
"no!"
"no!"
Fu Xiangwen and Makimai spoke up at the same time to refute, and the two looked at each other and realized that the other person had the same idea as they did.
"What's wrong?" Shu Xin was a little confused, not understanding why the two of them suddenly reacted so strongly.
"You don't need to share the attributeless crystal cores with me. I already had the advantage of five fire-type crystal cores." Xiangwen refused.
"Qimai, do you think the same way?" Yan Mo raised his eyes and looked at Mu Qimai sitting opposite him.
"Um."
Yan Mo stood up and knocked each of them on the head. Xiangwen and Mu Qimai were stunned.
"Next time you two do these nonsense things, I won't just hit you one at a time. I will beat you up to wake you up!"
Looking at the two people who were knocked unconscious, Yan Mo said in a cold voice.
"I see, Brother Mo, we were wrong!"
Feeling the seriousness and coldness in Yan Mo's tone, Xiangwen and Makimai suddenly realized something and admitted their mistakes immediately. They were overthinking it.
