“?”
He Jun’s smile froze as he glanced at the Oracle Heavenly King.
“I don’t know. I’ve never told him this.” The Oracle Heavenly King shook her head.
He Jun pushed up his glasses and looked at Wang Che in surprise.
“That’s right, I didn’t expect you to guess correctly…”
“Interesting, according to some hidden history, we humans had also thought of using the weapons of foreign civilizations to attack them. We used soul pets to indirectly control these weapons to attack those foreign soldiers and discovered that it was useless.”
“However, as remains, they will disintegrate when they attack each other.”
“This must have triggered another self-destruction program.”
“Unfortunately, if this metal could be used on modern mechanical soul pets, it would definitely increase the status of mechanical soul pets by another level!”
“Or, let some soul pets absorb this debris metal and let them evolve into new, powerful gene characteristics or powerful soul skills.”
“However, if a soul pet directly absorbs these metal fragments, it will cause immense damage to the soul pet and endanger its life… after melting, it will directly disintegrate and can’t be processed into metal food… sigh!”
He Jun shook his head again.
He opened the third box.
......
The debris in the third box was different.
It was a dark red chip.
“Battle armor chip.”
He Jun explained, “The armor of foreign civilization soldiers all have special chips. Our modern mechanical engines were improved according to this improvement.”
“The material of this chip is also special. It can withstand extremely powerful mental soul attacks and is especially firm.”
“Moreover, this chip should be the core of the soul connection between the armor and the warrior. It usually works both ways.”
“There will be such a chip in the body of a warrior, and so will the armor. Once it’s damaged, this chip will activate a special defense program. As long as it feels a trace of damage, it will disintegrate into nothingness.”
Wang Che nodded slightly.
These materials could not be studied directly.
They could not use it. It was useless to destroy it.
It was very difficult to develop technology from it.
“Oh, right!”
“Your soul pet is the Magnetic Sword, right?”
He Jun thought for a moment, “In the foreign civilization, there’s also a special sword in the fourth box.”
As he spoke, He Jun opened the box.
There was indeed a dim sword on it.
“This is a standard sword among the foreign warriors!”
“Look, there’s also an article about an alien civilization.”
“It should be the name of this sword. A professor in the war zone who specializes in language studies has studied it before.”
“It said that if it’s translated, this word should be called: Immortal Sword.”
Wang Che: “…”
“Immortals in our world represent beautiful and extraordinary people or things. For example, the Flower Fairy soul pet is a symbol of beauty and fantasy.”
“Calling artifacts immortal completely tarnishes the sacred meaning of this word.”
He Jun smiled.
“This shouldn’t be called an Immortal Sword,” Wang Che said. “I feel that this word should be called a Demon Sword.”
“That’s right!” He Jun praised, “The word ‘demon’ means ferocious and terrifying, and it also has the meaning of destruction and evil. It’s more suitable to call it the Demon Sword.”
Wang Che: “…”
What he meant was that this was called the Demon Sword…
To be precise, it was called a demonic artifact.
“This sword is even more terrifying as the standard weapon of an alien civilization!”
He Jun pondered and said, “It’s extremely destructive. The internal structure is extremely complicated and has a special transformation ability. It has both close combat and long-range combat abilities. It’s in a ruined state at any time, but once the seal on the box is removed, it will emit a terrifying aura that will affect the souls of the surrounding creatures.”
“Moreover, it can automatically lock onto an attack and have no problem tracking a thousand miles. It doesn’t have intelligence or spirituality, but it has powerful abilities comparable to soul pets.”
“It’s simply a natural war machine.”
He Jun sighed, “When we invaded, countless soul masters and soul beasts had their throats cut off.”
“However, it has lost its master now. It’s only a pile of trash.”
At this point, He Jun shook his head, “Even if it’s useless, we can’t use it…”
“There’s still a box left.”
He Jun opened the last box.
The last piece of debris was rather special.
It was a prismatic round core.
It was impossible to tell what it was.
When Wang Che saw this, he narrowed his eyes.
“This is a plant seed of an alien civilization.”
He Jun smiled, “Are you surprised? We actually have plants from an alien civilization here. You might not think it’s strange, but we purified them.”
“When the foreign civilization descended, they established bases in various regions of the continent.”
“This soul plant will be planted in every base.”
“We distributed this soul plant to many agriculture professors to grow. Unfortunately, they didn’t grow it.”
“Oh right, there’s also Professor Yun from your Forest Academy.”
He Jun took two steps forward and touched it through the box.
He was probably feeling the uniqueness of this round core.
“Later on, we came to a conclusion.”
“This is a very special mechanical soul plant, an alien plant.” He Jun sighed, “In our world, it doesn’t have the conditions to grow. Even if it’s placed in the Soul Earth, it can’t grow.”
“Otherwise, our research on foreign civilizations should have improved!”
“I heard that you’re in the Forest Academy and are good at growing. Can you tell anything?”
He Jun walked back and asked with a smile.
“Even those professors can’t tell what this thing is. What can he tell?” The Oracle Heavenly King smiled and said, “I feel that he can’t use anything you’re offering. I remember that you’ve developed something over the years. It can be used, right?”
Seeing the Oracle Heavenly King speak up for Wang Che, He Jun smiled.
“Indeed, there’s something that can be used, but the quantity is too little and it can’t be given.”
“Otherwise, it’d be here.”
Wang Che looked at the round core and did not interrupt.
He suddenly said, “Once this soul plant grows, will it form a tree made of steel?”
“That’s right!” He Jun was stunned and nodded, “Therefore, our world can’t provide the nutrients needed for these soul plants.”
“It can’t grow at all.”
“It’s interesting to say that our world clearly can’t provide the nutrients it needs, but those foreign civilizations planted these soul plants on our land. Many professors analyzed that the nutrients should have been provided by the foreign civilizations themselves. They didn’t plant them in the soil and only built a base.”
“According to the war ruins everywhere, they’re no longer intact. We don’t know how the foreign civilization was nurtured or what nutrients were provided.”
“Actually, even if we know, it’s unlikely that our world has these materials.”
“I think it’s possible,” Wang Che suddenly said. “There are often only a few reasons for civilization invasion. The most important are firstly, to wage war for resources, and secondly, to enslave lives.”
“Since they want to invade our world, could it be for some resources?”
“That’s right. History scholars have studied these possibilities.” He Jun first nodded, then shook his head and said, “Unfortunately, in history, the invasion of foreign civilizations did not seem to have plundered much of our world’s resources. Or rather, their technology level was higher at that time. Our world’s resources were all basic resources to them. They might not like it…”
“It’s true that they enslaved lives. They also captured some human soul masters and soul beasts back then. They seem to be very interested in the martial soul power and soul beasts of our world.”
“Up until now, there has been no accurate or unified explanation regarding the goal of the foreign race’s invasion, whether it was done on the spur of the moment, whether it wanted to enslave civilization, or whether it was purely for the sake of conquest or other deeper goals.”
Wang Che smiled and did not speak.
“What you said is possible.” He Jun pointed at the round core, “But we really haven’t figured out how to grow this thing after so many years. If we force it, this thing will disintegrate like the previous debris.”
“The soul skills that our world is proud of, especially those that accelerate growth, are completely useless against this seed.”
“From elements to machinery, I’ve used almost all the methods I can.”
“However, you can guess what these mechanical trees growing from the round core will produce.”
He Jun smiled mysteriously.
“Could it be…” Wang Che pointed at the debris, “The Tremor Gold and Devour Metal?”
The smile on He Jun’s face froze again.
“Your imagination is very rich!” He Jun was surprised, “You can guess it every time! To be honest, did you learn about it through other channels? Logically speaking, not many people know these things, and they all signed confidentiality agreements…”
“It’s just a thought.” Wang Che coughed.
He Jun did not ask further and only pointed at the debris.
“There are only a few types of debris we can provide now.”
“Which one do you want?”
In fact, in his opinion, they had studied these things for so many years but had not made any breakthroughs.
As a young man, Wang Che probably wanted these things out of curiosity.
To him, the debris was not very helpful.
Moreover, they had almost studied the technology contained in these fragments.
The rest could not be studied thoroughly. Due to the level of civilization, it was impossible in a short period of time.
“If possible…” Wang Che thought for a moment, “Can I have them all?”
He Jun was speechless.
The Oracle Heavenly King was speechless.
The two of them were silent for a while.
“All of them?” He Jun looked at the Oracle Heavenly King.
The Oracle Heavenly King looked at the ceiling and nodded after a moment.
“It’s up to you, Professor He. If you don’t lack them, there’s no difference in giving him a few more.”
There was a huge difference!
He Jun thought to himself, ‘That round seed, that sword, and the chip are all rare items.’
There were not many who could maintain them to this extent.
However…
He Jun also nodded and said, “Alright, there are only five types of debris anyway. It’s not much. If you really want them, you can have them all.”
“Thank you.” Wang Che nodded.
“Alright, I’ll help you settle the procedures and sign a few agreements. I’ll keep this for you.” He Jun thought for a moment, “I’ve roughly explained these five types of debris to you. If there’s a problem, don’t look for me. Just look for the Oracle Heavenly King.”
Wang Che looked at the Oracle Heavenly King.
“If anything happens to you, I’ll indeed be responsible.” The Oracle Heavenly King said helplessly.
Wang Che followed He Jun to settle the procedures and sign a confidentiality agreement.
Then, he placed the five boxes into the medal.
“Alright, if you discover anything…” He Jun said casually, “You can also contact us. If there’s a useful discovery, the war zone will reward you with something.”
“With my level, I shouldn’t have many findings,” Wang Che said. “I’m just playing with it. I’m only interested in that history, but it’s too vague.”
“I guess you’re the same.” He Jun sighed, “Indeed, there are too many people who are interested in that history. The foreign civilization is so attractive, but it’s also so dangerous. If you’re not careful, you’ll be affected…”
At this point, He Jun shook his head and stopped talking.
“Oh right, if there’s a problem with your soul pet, communicate more with Little Huan.” He Jun smiled and said, “She’s not bad in this aspect, especially your Bamboo Bear. She’s also quite knowledgeable about mechanical soul pets.”
“Of course, of course.” Wang Che nodded.
After all, there were still a few special soul bones on He Huan’s side.
After bidding farewell to He Jun, the Oracle Heavenly King brought Wang Che away from this special cosmic military base and returned to the North River Continent’s Forest Academy.
On the way.
“Oh right, I forgot to ask you something.” The Oracle Heavenly King suddenly said, “Have you cultivated the mental soul skill I gave you last time?”
Wang Che said, “Not yet.”
The Soul Guiding Skill the Oracle Heavenly King had mentioned was given to Wang Che after sparring with one of her soul pets and Bear Treasure.
It was called the Divine Observation Technique.
The Oracle Heavenly King pondered and said after a while, “You still have to cultivate this mental soul skill. Don’t worry, it’s harmless to you, and it’ll be very helpful in the future.”
“Speaking of which, if not for He Huan, I wouldn’t have taken it out.”
“If you don’t cultivate, you’ll waste this chance.”
Wang Che thought and said, “It seems that this Soul Guiding Skill has a secret.”
“There’s a secret. When you cultivate to a certain realm, I’ll tell you.” The Oracle Heavenly King smiled and said, “Also, regarding the soul pet the Glazed Heavenly King gave you… if it can’t hatch, don’t force it!”
The Oracle Heavenly King had a serious expression.
“That soul pet is very troublesome. The Glazed Heavenly King should have already told you. I won’t say anything else… once there’s a problem, tell us immediately! It’s best not to try to resolve it alone!”
Wang Che nodded and said, “May I ask if you want that Oracle Phantom Spirit to help you resolve the problem of the mysterious ice palace on the Arctic Ice Plain?”
“It’s only one of the measures,” the Oracle Heavenly King said. “The Oracle Phantom Spirit can help more than this, but it can only give us a warning now… As for the details, let’s wait until your level is higher and at least Level 50. There’s no meaning in knowing too much now.”
“However, I can give you a reminder. It’s related to the Divine Observation Technique.”
Wang Che: “…”
Indeed, no matter what world the expert was in, they liked to play with riddles.
Thinking about himself back then, Wang Che understood… After all, he had been like this in the past… It was even more severe than the Oracle Heavenly King.
His riddles went around in bigger circles.
After sending him back to the Forest Academy, Wang Che bade farewell to the Oracle Heavenly King and returned to his small house.
Then, he took out five boxes.
Looking at the five boxes, Wang Che muttered after a while, “There’s hope for the Magnetic Sword’s engine.”
“I didn’t expect the foreign civilization to be that world… How… interesting.”
