277: Extraordinary properties substance

“Host, System has detected some extraordinary characteristic materials within the capital planet of the Tianji Federal Empire.”

System spoke a brand new term.

“extraordinary characteristic materials? What are those?” Lin Yang asked with a furrowed brow.

“Answering Host, extraordinary characteristic materials are a relatively complex substance. A detailed explanation would be troublesome, and you would find it difficult to understand at present. For now, you only need to know that these are products that can only be created by an exceptionally advanced super civilization. They are not something the Tianji Federal Empire can be involved with. Such characteristic materials should not, and could not, appear here.”

System's voice carried a hint of seriousness.

“Shouldn't appear here? So, what do you mean?” Lin Yang also became serious.

“Answering Host, due to the lack of crucial data, System is temporarily unable to analyze a precise conclusion. It is possible that this place is receiving attention from some super civilization.”

“Oh… then what is the specific function of these extraordinary characteristic materials?” Lin Yang asked again.

“Answering Host, extraordinary characteristic materials have various different functions. They could be for the environment, or for organisms, and so on. Under the influence of the characteristic materials, the corresponding environment and organisms will be specifically affected. However, due to your current technological strength, Host, System is temporarily unable to unlock more permissions and cannot precisely investigate which aspect these characteristic materials are specifically acting upon.”

Lin Yang's eyes instantly narrowed: “extraordinary characteristic materials can affect the environment or organisms? In what ways?”

“Answering Host, the aspects affected change according to the characteristics within the characteristic materials. There are many specific characteristic factors, including but not limited to, causing the environment to change in a specific direction, or causing organisms to grow in a specific aspect.”

“That powerful?” Lin Yang was a little surprised.

“Yes, Host, the characteristics contained within extraordinary characteristic materials are very powerful. It's just unknown why there would be extraordinary characteristic materials here. You should know that even for civilizations capable of creating extraordinary characteristic materials, the cost of producing a single piece of characteristic material is very high and would absolutely not be used lightly. However, System has thoroughly scanned this planet and truly found no place that would warrant the deployment of extraordinary characteristic materials.”

System's words carried a hint of confusion, then it suddenly added: “Host, please improve your technological strength as soon as possible, so System can unlock more permissions.”

“…I’ll try.” Lin Yang was a little speechless.

System's words sounded as if it was implying that his current efficiency in improving technological strength was too slow.

But he couldn't help it.

Ever since Blue Star was exposed, he had been busy dealing with the revenge of Soman and others.

Moreover, the improvement of technological strength cannot be achieved overnight. Even if advanced technology is provided to the country, the fundamental strength is too weak, and it still has to be done step by step. There's no rushing it, and rushing is useless.

“Host, besides discovering extraordinary characteristic materials here, System has also found another special material. This material is quite expensive in the Original Universe, but here, it is cheap. Before returning, you can stock up on some and sell them back in the Original Universe to make a large profit from the price difference.”

System's sudden words made Lin Yang pause: “Make a profit from the price difference?”

“Yes, Host, the star crystals you obtained from Solo are almost all spent. Naturally, you need to find a way to make money,” System reminded him.

“This… alright, it’s true that I need to make money.” Lin Yang sighed slightly.

Although ten billion star crystals were a huge fortune, after several large expenditures, there wasn't much left.

Especially this time, in preparation for safety after returning to the Original Universe, he had purchased a large number of Tianji Federal Empire's Level 4 technological weapons, which made the star crystals almost depleted.

Originally, Lin Yang hadn't worried about money for quite some time, but now, after System's reminder, he realized that he seemed to be on the verge of becoming penniless again.

“Sigh, when will I truly stop worrying about money!” Lin Yang sighed softly.

On Blue Star, you can't move an inch without money!

It's even more so in the universe!

On Blue Star, there are still legal restrictions, so money isn't truly omnipotent.

But in the universe, as long as you can afford the price, almost anything can be taken care of by someone.

For example, in the Cosmic Mercenary Corps, as long as you can pay, even if you want to destroy a civilization or ruin a few planets, powerful mercenaries will accept the mission.

To survive in the universe, being penniless is absolutely impossible.

Otherwise, you might not even be able to afford the energy for your spaceship.

Previously, with those ten billion star crystals, he had no concept of making money in the universe, but now, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

“System, check again and see if there are any other things that can be used to profit from the price difference. Since we're making money, let's take advantage of this good opportunity to earn as much as possible.” Lin Yang spoke.

This time, he inexplicably traversed the spatial barrier to this universe. Next time, he might not be so lucky.

Since there are things that can be used to profit from the price difference, Lin Yang planned to earn as much as he could in one go.

“Okay, Host, System will scan again.”

“Mm, once you're done scanning, just send the items that can generate a price difference to Lin Mu and the others, and let them buy them.” Lin Yang said.

At the same time, while he was communicating with System, on the other side, the Engineers of the Tianji Federal Empire had finished installing the warp drive on Apocalypse.

“Your Excellency Lin Yang, the warp drive has been installed. You can inspect it now.” The Engineer called out to Lin Yang.

“Such fast efficiency.” Lin Yang was a little surprised.

In the time it took for a conversation, the warp drive was actually installed.

“Haha, the warp drive was readily available, and your spaceship is very advanced and perfectly compatible with the warp drive, so installation was effortless,” the Engineer said with a laugh.

Lin Yang had System inspect the warp drive, and looking at the entire Apocalypse, he suddenly said, “Engineer, can you modify my spaceship slightly?”

“Modify?”

“Yes, I want to modify the exterior of the spaceship.” Lin Yang nodded.

The exterior of Apocalypse was too easily recognizable in the Original Universe, so Lin Yang had the idea of modifying it.

Apocalypse was too practical. Unless absolutely necessary, he didn't want to leave Apocalypse gathering dust.

However, the Engineer shook his head and said, “I'm sorry, Sir, your spaceship is integrated, and its construction technology is very special. If we were to forcibly modify its appearance, it would damage the spaceship's integrity and might affect the use of some specific functions on the spaceship. We currently don't have enough confidence to perfectly modify your spaceship.”

“This… alright.”

Hearing this, Lin Yang felt a bit regretful.

Not being able to modify it meant that upon returning to the Original Universe, he would still have to temporarily give up using Apocalypse.

System, however, said: “Host, there’s nothing to regret, because even if it were modified, it would be extensively damaged when traversing the spatial barrier, and it would be impossible to find a civilization to repair Apocalypse after returning to the Original Universe.”

“Uh… you’re right.” Lin Yang realized.

When traversing the spatial barrier to get here earlier, the surface of Apocalypse was damaged by over fifty percent. It was conceivable that it wouldn't be much better after traversing back, so even if it could be modified now, it would be a waste.

“Then, can we go back directly now?”

Then, Lin Yang took a deep breath and slowly asked.

The warp drive had been installed, Lin Mu and the others had bought the shock cannons, and the materials for profiting from the price difference had been stockpiled.

He was already somewhat impatient to go home!
