Call Babata Out to Speak

Shi Fen studied the auxiliary secret techniques.

Shi Fen discovered it was not as difficult as he had imagined; by relying on the overlapping effects of his 10 Soul Domains and the collective comprehension of his 10 clones, his cultivation speed was extremely fast.

Reincarnation was the simplest, and it took him less than seven hours to master it completely.

The Soul Fusion Technique was a bit more complex; the method of fusing Genetic Origin Energy and Spiritual Force into "Fusion Soul Energy" was particularly intricate and cumbersome, and it was especially prone to failure.

When fusing the two types of energy, one had to ensure the proportions were absolutely precise; even the slightest excess or deficiency would inevitably lead to failure. Fortunately, the progress was encouraging, and after a few days of diligent study, he would definitely be able to master it completely.

During his cultivation, Shi Fen's main body left home and used the detection function of the Eight Trigrams Reincarnation Mirror to search for alien warship alloy wreckage hidden underground.

Shi Fen selected the best option nearby, eventually settling on a piece of warship alloy wreckage over 30 meters in diameter, located 16,400 meters beneath the northern part of Jiangnan Base City. Shi Fen piloted the Eight Trigrams Reincarnation Mirror, dove all the way underground, and collected the warship alloy wreckage along with the surrounding rocks into his World Ring.

One of Shi Fen's main clones and the Baby Machine entered the World Ring together to sort through the warship alloy wreckage for reusable materials.

The moment Shi Fen's main clone entered the main body's World Ring and saw the warship alloy wreckage, which looked as dilapidated as "rotten wood," he immediately turned his head and asked the machine, "It's almost completely rotted through. Machine, is there really any B-grade or higher alloy material left in here?"

The machine shook its little head and nodded vigorously, its large silver eyes revealing certainty and confidence.

Seeing that Shi Fen still looked skeptical, the Baby Machine couldn't help but explain in a milky voice, "Master, if you strike it a few times with the Vibration Hammer, the rotten parts will all fall off, and the remaining alloy will definitely reach B-grade or higher.

I have thoroughly studied the metal material section of Treasure Refining, so I cannot be wrong."

"Alright." Shi Fen's main clone agreed reluctantly, and with lingering doubts, he took out a Vibration Hammer from the Treasure Refining World from within the World Ring.

To quickly clean the warship alloy wreckage, Shi Fen had specifically taken a portable tool from the silver disc in the Treasure Refining World, which was this very Vibration Hammer.

After the forging tool's usage permissions were activated, Shi Fen discovered a sense of seamless harmony between himself and the forging tool, as if he had already bound all the tools to himself long ago—it was truly miraculous.

Shi Fen could finally use them as he pleased.

Shi Fen channeled the Genetic Origin Energy within his dantian and injected it into the Vibration Hammer, causing it to grow larger. Shi Fen pushed his Genetic Origin Energy output to the limit. In the end, the hammerhead reached a staggering diameter of over 3 meters, while the handle maintained its original diameter but extended by several meters.

This was the current limit of Shi Fen's ability to drive the Vibration Hammer.

Shi Fen channeled his Spiritual Force to keep the excavated warship alloy wreckage suspended in mid-air.

Gripping the handle, Shi Fen mobilized all his strength, swung the room-sized hammerhead, and smashed it fiercely against the warship alloy wreckage. The unique "vibration wave" of the Vibration Hammer acted solidly upon the wreckage.

Large amounts of soil, rocks, and rotten metal debris instantly fell off the main body of the warship alloy wreckage, raining down and piling into a small mountain of trash on the ground.

The originally thick alloy walls disintegrated rapidly, revealing the surviving "alloy skeleton" inside.

The exposed parts of the "alloy skeleton" looked like rough, uneven cast plates in some places, while others resembled "flat, long bitter melons" with uneven surfaces. The most severely decayed parts had only fragmented "alloy bones" remaining on the skeleton.

Many other "bone fragments," along with the rotten parts, all fell into the trash heap below.

Seeing the obvious results, Shi Fen swung the hammer repeatedly until there were no more impurities left on the alloy wreckage.

Shi Fen stopped channeling energy into the Vibration Hammer; without the energy support, the hammer immediately returned to its original size.

Shi Fen controlled the "alloy skeleton," landing it in a clean spot nearby, and then tucked the Vibration Hammer back into his World Ring. Looking at the remaining alloy skeleton, which was over 20 meters in diameter, he secretly savored the feeling of the swing.

I just don't know if Hong could withstand a blow from me without using other means. Shi Fen thought, comparing himself to Hong in a rather mischievous way.

The physical strength of a Planetary Level 1 is 1 million kilograms.

Since the genetic level of his main clone had increased tenfold, his strength had also increased tenfold. Although his martial artist strength was only Planetary Level 1, Shi Fen possessed over 10 million kilograms of raw force without even using any force-exertion techniques.

His main body possessed 1.1 billion kilograms of raw force, and when combined with the miraculous nature of the Vibration Hammer, it was hard to say whether Hong could withstand it.

I'll try using the Vibration Hammer against an enemy in the future.

Shi Fen made up his mind.

Shi Fen found that he had fallen in love with this violent hammer-swinging and the feeling of crushing power.

"Master, I told you so! There was definitely uncorroded alloy inside. No matter how rotten such a thick piece of alloy is, the center is bound to be preserved."

When the warship alloy wreckage was completely cleaned, the machine realized its judgment hadn't been wrong and immediately defended itself in a milky voice.

Shi Fen cast aside the violent thoughts in his mind, pulled the machine into his arms, and praised it with a smile, "The machine is the best."

The machine hugged Shi Fen with both hands, enjoying the warmth provided by its master, and let out a triumphant, giggling laugh.

With one hand holding the machine, a small, black "Storage Card" suddenly appeared in Shi Fen's other hand. Shi Fen activated the card, collecting the trash beneath the alloy wreckage into it.

There are still some usable alloy fragments in the trash. This kind of high-grade waste shouldn't be wasted. Once I collect a bit more, I can recycle it all together, Shi Fen thought.

Shi Fen left the separated, intact alloy skeleton in the World Ring and returned to the Treasure Refining World while holding the machine, continuing to comprehend the Soul Fusion Technique.

It took Shi Fen nearly two days in total to ensure he could execute the "Fusion Soul Energy" with 100% success.

The "alloy skeleton" he had obtained two days ago now came in handy.

Shi Fen's 10 main clones sat around the massive alloy skeleton, conducting practical experiments to learn the specific operations of the Soul Fusion Technique.

At the same time.

The 10 main clones split off 10 portions of consciousness, entered the Image World, and analyzed the secret patterns required for the "A9-Grade Laser Gun."

Once both sides are thoroughly researched, I will use the ready-made alloy skeleton—this B3-grade alloy—to attempt to manufacture an A9-Grade Laser Gun.

Initially, Shi Fen had planned to use the "Ultra-High Temperature Furnace" he was developing to manufacture a batch of weapons to serve as his first pot of gold for venturing into the universe.

Unfortunately, the development process did not go smoothly. Before he could even use it, he had already passed the "Foundation Trial," unsealing the usage permissions for his treasure refining tools. Coupled with Treasure Refining, Shi Fen now had a better choice.

In the universe, which weapons of the same grade are the most valuable?

Naturally, technological weapons are the most valuable.

Compared to technological weapons of the same level, Spiritual Force weapons and Force weapons are nothing but trash.

The 10 billion Planetary Level treasures recorded in Treasure Refining include hundreds of different types of laser guns alone.

Each type is further divided into 9 grades.

They correspond to the 9 grades of A1, A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, and A9.

To earn a bit more starting capital, Shi Fen steeled his heart and chose one of them: the A9-grade Fire Energy Laser Gun.

The Secret Pattern Diagram of this A9-grade Fire Energy Laser Gun is extremely similar to one of the final patterns among the 360 Secret Pattern Diagrams in the "Foundation Trial."

Shi Fen has already mastered all 360 Secret Pattern Diagrams. Compared to other types of laser guns, the A9-grade Fire Energy Laser Gun's patterns are the easiest for Shi Fen to comprehend due to his prior study.

Although the engraving process will certainly be more difficult and harder to succeed at because the patterns are more complex, Shi Fen is willing to gamble again for the sake of having sufficient starting capital.

If he fails to manufacture the A9-grade Fire Energy Laser Gun, he plans to shamelessly beg Babata; with his thorough preparations, he is certain he can handle Babata.

With a way forward and a way back, Shi Fen is not worried about entering the universe for the first time without starting capital.

Shi Fen settles in to devote himself to the research and manufacture of the A9-grade Fire Energy Laser Gun.

He waits quietly for the arrival of Luo Feng and Babata.

After Luo Feng returned home from Mist Island with a full harvest, he was practically run off his feet.

He had to exchange treasures with Hong.

He had to improve the strength of his family members.

He had to take over as the inspector of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall.

Having exposed his strength as an inspector-level powerhouse, he also had to exchange pleasantries with the various major powers on Earth.

There was his younger brother's romance.

While confirming his relationship with Xu Xin and enjoying a sweet love life, he also had to endure Babata's brainwashing-style information dumps every day, learning about various common knowledge of the universe, studying the universal language of the universe, and finding time to cultivate with Wood Bud Crystals to raise his Spiritual Force to the first rank of the Planetary Level as quickly as possible.

In the ten days or so since returning from Mist Island, he truly hadn't had a moment of rest.

It was painful yet happy.

In the blink of an eye, it was August 26th.

Luo Feng stepped out of his home in the Bright Moon Residential District and walked toward Shi Fen's house next door.

Babata, finding Luo Feng's pace too slow, transmitted a dissatisfied voice into Luo Feng's mind: "You're already at the Planetary Level, why are you walking so slowly! You're going to be the death of me."

Luo Feng connected his consciousness to Babata's core carrier and retorted irritably: "It's only a few steps away, is there any need to be so anxious?"

For the past few days, Luo Feng's ears had been worn thin by Babata, who urged him daily to hurry up and recruit Shi Fen. Babata insisted that if he didn't quickly recruit a genius of the same level, an accident might happen and he would lose the chance.

Luo Feng did not know what Babata was speculating about Shi Fen.

Luo Feng felt that in a small place like Earth, what kind of accidents could possibly happen? Plus, since Babata was only urging him and not making a strong demand, Luo Feng had finished arranging all his own affairs before coming to find Shi Fen. Walking slowly now was his way of deliberately annoying Babata, a quiet revenge for the "nagging" of the past few days.

Just as Luo Feng arrived at Shi Fen's doorstep, he found that Shi Fen was already waiting there.

Luo Feng was not surprised. Someone who possesses a domain, even without deliberately manifesting it, will have special perception of the space within a radius of several dozen meters around them. It would be strange if Shi Fen hadn't noticed him coming.

"Brother, let's go to the cultivation room. I have something to tell you," Luo Feng said mysteriously.

"Alright." Shi Fen nodded and led Luo Feng into the cultivation room.

After entering, Luo Feng closed the door, carefully checked the room with his Gold Domain, and confirmed that it was perfectly safe before going to the lounge area and sitting on the sofa in front of Shi Fen.

"What is it? Being so mysterious," Shi Fen said, amused by Luo Feng's cautious demeanor, asking a question he already knew the answer to.

"Brother, it's like this," Luo Feng pondered for a moment, organizing his words in his mind. "After the battle for the Wood Bud Crystals that day, I obtained a lineage beneath Mist Island. The inheritance contains a vast amount of cultivation manuals for Spiritual Masters and martial artists, as well as other information and treasures from the universe.

Most importantly, this inheritance has a wise life form left behind by the original owner. You can understand a wise life form as the pinnacle of 'artificial intelligence,' possessing emotions and its own thoughts.

He discovered that you, brother, also have astonishing talent and wants to recruit you into this inheritance as well. That's why I'm here.

How about it? I'm a good brother, aren't I?"

Shi Fen listened quietly to Luo Feng's explanation, then smiled slightly and said, "Not bad."

Luo Feng had poured his heart out, only to be met with a "not bad," and felt somewhat dissatisfied. He frowned and said, "Huh? What kind of answer is that? This is a powerful inheritance from the universe!"

Shi Fen released his Soul Domain, lifting the seal on his own aura. Ignoring Luo Feng's dissatisfaction, he said something shocking: "Tell Babata to come out and speak. I didn't expect Babata to be so interested in me.

It's only been about 10 days, and he couldn't wait to send you to find me."
