But to make this money legitimate and legal, he would also have to alter the memories of a large number of people involved. Those 4 energy points would not be nearly enough!
Materialize some gold out of thin air? What would he do with it? Invite people to rob him?
His most urgent priority now was to gain the ability to protect himself.
At the very least, he could not let someone easily capture him and then simply starve or suffocate him to death!
Qi Jun thought it over carefully. Perhaps there were some tricks to this.
Qi Jun could sense that his use of the [Mutated Stone] was still far too basic and crude.
He would run some experiments first and see whether the [Mutated Stone]'s abilities worked the way he imagined.
Qi Jun had a vague intuition about the [Mutated Stone]'s abilities, but until he tried it, he had no idea whether that feeling was correct.
First, Qi Jun searched this "new home" from top to bottom and found some discarded plastic items and iron objects in the storage room. Some of the iron objects were even rusty.
Then, Qi Jun divided these iron objects into xxx portions.
He took out the top-spec Huawei laptop he had materialized earlier, powered it on, and connected to the internet.
Once everything was ready, Qi Jun began experimenting with applications of the [Mutated Stone]'s abilities.
Experiment one: without using anything, Qi Jun simply pictured it in his mind-materialize a Glock 19.
As a casual fan of American TV shows (he only watched Marvel shows and their spin-offs), Qi Jun knew this was a handgun frequently used by the New York Police Department (NYPD) in American TV shows.
But Qi Jun did not know how this gun was constructed, or even what materials it was made from.
The purpose of the experiment was to find out how much energy it would take to materialize a Glock 19 when Qi Jun knew only its name and appearance!
At a thought, the [Mutated Stone] gave him feedback: it would require a full 1 energy point!
Of course, Qi Jun immediately abandoned the idea of making it, retaining his 14 energy points.
Experiment two: Qi Jun approached a sorted pile of discarded plastic and scrap iron and likewise pictured it-use the materials in front of him to materialize a Glock 1.
The purpose of the experiment was to see whether the [Mutated Stone] would expend less energy on materialization after Qi Jun prepared roughly what might be the materials needed to make it.
Sure enough! Qi Jun had guessed right!
With this portion of discarded plastic and scrap iron in front of him, the [Mutated Stone] returned a piece of information: it would take only 0.7 energy points!
"Wow!"
"I really am a genius!"
Qi Jun jumped up in excitement!
Of course, Qi Jun soon abandoned this idea, continuing to retain his 14 energy points.
After a long while, Qi Jun suppressed his lingering excitement and began the final experiment.
Experiment three: memorize a complete set of firearm manufacturing blueprints, then use that scrap material to materialize a Glock 19.
Qi Jun skipped the step of using the blueprints to materialize it out of thin air. After all, if experiment three could save energy, that would mean using the blueprints to materialize it directly out of thin air would certainly save energy too.
