The apocalypse struck, and I became a druid.

The two of them killed the two black snake monsters in no time.

"Professor Ye, you've awakened!" Xu Ming exclaimed in surprise.

"It seems so..." Professor Ye looked at his palm, which was radiating golden light, and then looked to Han Ning for help.

Chapter 118 The Admiral and the Making of Energy Stones

"It has definitely awakened, and it looks like it's a powerful ability."

Han Ning observed the golden light emanating from Professor Ye and speculated,

"Could it be the power of light? It seems to have both interference and purification effects."

"Professor Ye, you have just awakened your abilities and they are still relatively weak. You should develop them further in the future and strive to become a character like Kizaru from One Piece."

"Kizaru? Who's that?" Professor Ye looked bewildered.

"Uh... he's someone who can control light. He can turn himself into light and use it to unleash all sorts of terrifying light-based attacks that go beyond visual range. He's very powerful."

Han Ning explained.

"Okay, I'll try my best!" Professor Ye nodded earnestly.

"Professor Ye, if you want to know anything about Kizaru, you can ask me."

Xu Ming, standing to the side, had a strange expression.

He is 33 years old this year, and his youth is just like that of the Pirate King.

Han Ning pointed to the crops that had been turned over and were in disarray:

"We'll study the ability issue when we get back. Right now, let's collect as much usable stuff as possible here, especially the soil, and take it with us."

Without further delay, the three used tools to shovel the soil scattered on the floor and in the corners into the burlap sacks they had brought.

They even collected the trampled crop remains.

Soon, several sacks were filled to the brim.

The soil is more important than the crops that were destroyed.

"Let's go, you've used up a lot of energy, come again next time."

Back to the office building that was temporarily occupied in the business district.

Xu Ming and Professor Ye piled several bags of precious soil in a space that had not yet been renovated.

He looked at Professor Ye: "Professor Ye, you can revitalize the planting area and unite with other awakened individuals or ordinary people at the Biyun Resort to plant together. When you need plants to accelerate growth, come to me and I will release the accelerated growth release to the seeds."

Now that the rapid growth has reached an advanced level, it only takes two or three accelerations for ordinary plants.

Plants need to digest the energy generated during rapid growth, and this process cannot be completed overnight.

Professor Ye immediately understood Han Ning's intention: to make ordinary crops benefit everyone.

He nodded solemnly: "No problem, boss. I will rebuild the basic crop area and the mutation research area as soon as possible."

……

night.

The office building was completely silent.

Most people were already fast asleep, exhausted after a day of running around and fighting.

Han Ning sat alone in a relatively quiet small conference room.

A rechargeable desk lamp emitted a bright light, illuminating the workbench in front of him.

Under the desk lamp, a blue crystal, about the size of a walnut and irregularly shaped, lay quietly.

It was the energy core that was extracted from the body of that seven-meter-long black serpent leader.

The surface of the crystal is rough, and inside there is a viscous black liquid slowly swirling.

Han Ning stretched out his finger, and a thin, sharp vine sprang from his fingertip, radiating the heat of molten gold.

In his mind, the image of the merman carving runes on the surface of the crystal with a bone knife flashed through his mind.

The energy of the molten gold tiger is mainly because it is relatively easy to carve.

"The first step is to purify impurities and stabilize energy..."

The molten gold halo at Han Ning's fingertips softened as he gently touched the surface of the deep blue crystal.

snort~

A wisp of barely perceptible black smoke rose from the point of contact, and the black viscous liquid swirling inside the crystal seemed to be stimulated, becoming slightly agitated.

Han Ning was completely focused, his fingertips gently brushing the strings of a musical instrument, guiding the heat of the molten gold to flow across the surface of the crystal.

The molten gold heat gradually burned away the other exotic energies within the crystal, besides water-based energy.

This process requires extremely precise control; even a slightly higher temperature could damage the crystal structure.

The temperature is insufficient, and it cannot be completely burned.

Han Ning's eyes were focused, and his mental energy was highly concentrated.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The swirling black inside the crystal gradually becomes transparent and eventually disappears completely.

Instead, a relatively pure deep blue halo slowly flows inside.

"The second step is to guide the energy and inscribe the runes..."

Han Ning took a deep breath, and the light at his fingertips transformed into emerald green natural spiritual energy.

He recalled the intricate and mysterious runic patterns in the natural scene.

Fingertips fall.

snort~

Accompanied by an extremely subtle sound of energy friction, a thin line shimmering with a faint green light appeared on the rough surface of the crystal.

The patterns were not static; they wiggled slightly as Han Ning moved his fingertips, imprinting themselves into the crystal.

With each stroke, Han Ning needed to infuse a trace of pure natural energy into it, guiding the water-attribute energy inside the crystal to converge along the trajectory of the runes.

This requires the coordination of mental and spiritual power, and demands a certain level of control over energy.

There will naturally be failures in this process.

However, this crystal has a large surface area, so even if it fails, the line can be interrupted and reconnected nearby.

Contrary to Han Ning's expectations, one mistake could ruin everything.

Even so, Han Ning still carefully controlled the energy output from his fingertips.

If it fails too many times, it will eventually become unusable.

hum~

As the runes extended, the crystal began to tremble slightly. The deep blue aura flowing inside seemed to be summoned, becoming more active and its brightness slowly increasing.

Han Ning could clearly feel that the originally scattered energy inside the crystal was being organized by the power of the runes and gradually becoming more condensed.

"Fully mobilize the energy within the crystal and continuously purify other attribute energies so that the energy can be guided."

Han Ning recalled the functions represented by the runes in his mind, his fingertips continuing to tremble.

Green patterns shimmered on the surface of the deep blue crystal, gradually forming a rune array that wasn't too complex.

When the last stroke is made, the beginning and end are connected.

hum~

The entire crystal trembled slightly.

The deep blue light flowing inside shone brightly, illuminating the entire small conference room in a deep blue hue.

A surge of energy, far purer and more stable than before, rippled outwards.

The rough edges on the surface of the crystal become smooth and warm, and the array of runes becomes more subtle, with a faint shimmer visible only at specific angles.

Now, the monster crystal has become something similar to an energy stone that can control the absorption and release of energy.

Energy stones resemble power banks, but what are their specific uses?

Aside from being able to channel energy and assist in the creation of high-energy soil, Han Ning is still unclear about other aspects.

However, since it is an energy source, it must have many uses, they just haven't been discovered yet.

"successful"

Han Ning breathed a sigh of relief, a satisfied smile appearing on his face.

This is a bit like doing handicrafts; once you succeed, it brings a great sense of accomplishment.

He picked up the deep blue energy stone, which was as smooth and warm as jade, and felt the energy flowing within it.

"This is the Energy Stone?"

"The next step is to use it to prepare high-energy soil and try to mutate the first plant."

Chapter 119 High-Energy Soil Firing

During the day, the office building in the Yung Valley Business District is still on the fifth floor.

The once pristine office area is now filled with the smell of earth.

Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, a fine drizzle drifted through the gray sky.

On the ground, most areas were submerged in water, and the place was completely deserted.

Inside the building, however, it was a bustling and vibrant scene.

Under Professor Ye's direction, a large open-plan office area on the fifth floor of the office building was completely transformed.

The heavy curtains were removed to allow as much faint natural light as possible to penetrate.

Discarded desks were pieced together to form a three-dimensional support structure with varying heights.
