609: Niumabai

Yang Dian wasn't surprised to hear Lao Bai question him.

It's about give and take.

He asked him a secret, and he told him.

Then he, in turn, asked him a secret—that's reasonable!

After thinking about it, Yang Dian felt there was nothing to hide.

Firstly, Lao Bai wouldn't blab about such things, just as he wouldn't blab about Lao Bai's talent or the cheat he found.

Secondly, Yang Dian wasn't afraid of others knowing his secrets.

Moreover, if he told Lao Bai about his abilities, Lao Bai might even use his clever little brain to develop them.

“The innate ability I awakened should be related to devouring.”

“By consuming heaven and earth treasures, rare treasures, or devouring the Origin of a planet, my talent extracts their essence, condensing a more special energy.”

“This special energy can not only be used to enhance my strength but also to allow my mind to enter an Epiphany state, greatly increasing my learning efficiency and martial Dao Comprehension Ability.”

After describing his innate ability, Yang Dian scratched his scalp again, pulling Dudu down:

“You should know this little thing.”

“Starlight Jellyfish Dudu.”

“It's my second cheat.”

Rubbing Dudu, who was wrapped around his wrist, Yang Dian continued:

“It can grow by devouring the special energy I purify, and during its growth, it can condense a special stardust.”

“These stardust have the effect of improving Aptitude.”

“You know what Aptitude is, right?”

“When using the same resources, the higher the Aptitude, the greater the improvement.”

“Without this little guy improving my Aptitude, even if I had the resources of three worlds, my strength couldn't have improved to this extent.”

At this point, Yang Dian thought for a moment, then snapped his fingers, making the Dimension Butterfly appear on his fingertip:

“And this little guy.”

“Dimension Butterfly.”

“It can take me into the deep space-time rift, ensuring my safety when I'm out.”

“It can also find Dimension Channels that ordinary people can't discover, allowing me to directly enter a planet's core and seize the planet's Origin contained within the Star Core Space.”

“If it weren't for it, it wouldn't be so easy to directly find a Dimension Channel to enter the Star Core Space and seize the Origin.”

After listening to Yang Dian, Dr. Bai immediately showed a look of realization:

“No wonder no matter how I calculated, I felt your growth trajectory was wrong. So that's how it is.”

After his realization, he fell silent again.

Seeing Lao Bai remain silent, Yang Dian couldn't help but be curious:

“What are you thinking about?”

Dr. Bai struggled for a while, then finally spoke about the problem that was bothering him:

“Can your special energy, or the stardust condensed by the Starlight Jellyfish during its growth, be used by others?”

“You know, many people in the organization have special abilities, but their strength is too weak.”

“For example, Yu Baiwei.”

“She can use her talent to listen to sounds from other worlds and communicate with people from other worlds.”

“But her strength is too weak; in her prime, she can only use her ability for 10 minutes.”

“If she could increase her strength, the time she could maintain her innate ability would be longer, and her listening range should also expand again.”

“And there are several others in Huaxia with talents similar to Yu Baiwei's.”

“If we can increase their strength, our speed in searching for Alien Planets will likely increase significantly.”

Hadn't Yang Dian also considered Dr. Bai's idea?

But the problem was that reality didn't allow it.

“For now, no.”

“I've tried using energy and stardust to cultivate other people, animals, or Mutants.”

“But the results were not ideal.”

“Those who consumed stardust were all melted into starlight by it; even Mutant beasts and cultivators with Star-Patrolling Realm strength couldn't avoid it.”

“Those who consumed the energy would have their Soul scorched by it, dying in endless pain.”

“For now, cultivating others with energy and stardust is not possible.”

At this point, Yang Dian pondered for a moment, then continued:

“To use my energy or Dudu's stardust, the prerequisite should be to sign a Soul contract, allowing Soul Qi to be interconnected.”

“Dudu and the Dimension Butterfly have both signed Soul contracts with me, becoming my pet beasts.”

“Their Souls carry my Qi, so they can use the energy I condense without any scruples.”

“The same applies to me using the stardust Dudu condenses.”

“Is that so?” Dr. Bai sighed with some regret:

“That's a bit of a shame.”

Yang Dian waved his hand:

“There's nothing to regret.”

“They just don't have good Aptitude.”

“If Aptitude isn't good, make up for it with resources.”

“As long as their talents are truly useful, then give them heaven and earth treasures; that will always be able to increase their strength.”

After moving past this topic, Yang Dian looked at Lao Bai with a hint of anticipation:

“Let's not talk about that; let's talk about my talent.”

“I feel my talent shouldn't have so many restrictions.”

“I forgot to mention something just now: even without rare treasures, rare items, or a planet's Origin, my talent is still extracting energy from the ethereal, condensing that special energy.”

“Don't you have quantum thinking? Can you help me analyze what that energy is?”

“If you can help me turn passive into active, allowing me to actively condense energy, that would be even better.”

Dr. Bai squinted at Yang Dian, who wanted to treat him like a workhorse, twitched an eye, then spoke:

“First, let me completely perfect the star destroyer.”

“The current star destroyer is just a star destroyer in name.”

“A star destroyer without interstellar navigation capabilities, only able to fly around in the star system for fun, what kind of star destroyer is that?”

“Once I've developed the star destroyer's space warp and warp drive technologies, then I'll thoroughly research what's going on with your talent...”

As he spoke, golden ripples began to appear in the sky above the two of them.

Looking at the ripples that distorted space, a hint of awe appeared in Yang Dian's eyes:

“What terrifying energy.”

As his voice fell, he had already flown to the center of the six star destroyers, directly in front of the magnetic field circle that was continuously gathering energy.

Dr. Bai projected himself next to Yang Dian, following closely:

“Are you crazy? Why did you suddenly come up here?”

“The energy convergence is about to complete; are you standing in front of the Planet Destroyer Cannon to seek death?”

Yang Dian looked at the magnetic coil, which resembled a ten-thousand-meter giant cannon, and shook his head slightly:

“Firstly, I have the Dimension Butterfly protecting me; if I really encounter danger, the Dimension Butterfly will take me into the space-time rift.”

“Secondly, the power of the Planet Destroyer Cannon is somewhat dispersed; even if I stand right here, it may not necessarily cause me harm.”

“Thirdly.”

When he said “thirdly,” Yang Dian withdrew his gaze from the Planet Destroyer Cannon and looked at Lao Bai:

“Lao Bai, your star destroyer really still has many areas that need improvement.”

“How come I feel like your Planet Destroyer Cannon can only be fired and not turned off? Once activated, it can only shoot out?”
