The origin of the Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure was still unknown. In any case, Russell did not think this stuff grew out of the ground like potatoes.
The possibility of artificial synthesis was also unlikely, though it could not be ruled out that someone had accidentally obtained a Sea Urchin Crystal, been unable to accurately assess the energy within it, and placed it underground for experimentation.
The three young people who had gained superpowers were the lab rats in that experiment.
Unable to figure out who was behind it, Russell temporarily pinned the blame on aliens. It was not malicious slander; he had perfectly reasonable grounds for his deduction.
This world was far too chaotic. Countless plots were tangled together, and alien forces from several different civilizations came and went from Earth. The possibility was very high.
Russell desperately wanted to know where the aliens who had buried the crystals had come from. If he could follow the trail and find the source of the Sea Urchin Crystals...
"Hehehe!!"
He was not greedy. If he could not find the source, then seventy or eighty crystals would do just fine.
Russell envisioned the future. Once his intelligence attribute broke through the two-hundred mark, he would surely unlock another talent—one even stronger than telepathy.
Maybe it would be the omniscience and omnipotence he had always wanted!
"Wait, why was I hung up on aliens? I'm inside a time loop now. My memories are retained and won't be erased, while the Sea Urchin Crystals reset every twenty-four hours."
Russell's expression gradually turned ferocious as he silently resolved not to leave the time loop until he had farmed his intelligence attribute to one million.
Uh, one million was a bit exaggerated. It was not very realistic.
Just like leveling up in a game,
