Chapter 140 The Box is Finally Opened

“I don’t believe this. It’s just material, not even a rare item. I won’t be able to open it!”

Yang Chen continued to input derivative energy into it. As long as he could “refine” it and create data, he should be successful.

Once the data appears, the item becomes your own and you can control it.

Soon, an hour passed.

Peng Min had already prepared the food: “Let’s eat first. I cooked rice. I bought a lot of rice from the alliance before, but never used it. This time I learned a lot in the illusion. I have specially studied the cooking method of rice.”

She took out the table and chairs and brought out the food.

Yang Chen had no choice but to put away the metal box, came to sit down at the table, and prepared to eat first.

The first time they ate rice, both of them were a little uncomfortable with it, because they had never distinguished between staple foods and side dishes before. To them, anything that was edible was a staple food.

Eating like this, with other foods just serving as sides, is a bit of a hassle.

But I have to say that it seems easier to get full when eaten with rice and other foods.

“This biological streetlight may attract other people or other things.”

Peng Min said, looking at the glowing tumor on the small tree next to the courtyard: “Do you want to keep it?”

“Keep it. I just happen to need some experimental materials.”

Yang Chen said: “I suddenly feel that my materials should not be limited to dead things. Living things should also be able to be used as materials for making strange things.”

“It’s good that you know what’s going on.” Peng Min never refuted Yang Chen’s decision.

Yang Chen said again: “Next, I will find time to improve you, and raise your level to the third level limit as soon as possible. In this way, our safety will be greatly improved, and we will be able to deal with special situations better.”

“Of course I’m happy to be able to improve my strength, but I feel that if I improve too quickly, there may be side effects, and…”

Peng Min said: “If we can gain a careful understanding of the evolution process, it will be helpful for the future.”

“It won’t improve all at once. Once you’ve adapted to the improvement of one stage, you can start the next stage.”

Yang Chen said: “According to the calculation of the level, the next stage is the intermediate evolver. There should be some special changes. You should experience it carefully during the improvement process. It would be best if you gain something.”

He had a hunch that his abilities might change after reaching the intermediate level.

After dinner, he continued to study the box and continued to infuse it with derivative energy, wanting to get the force field core out first.

Peng Min began to count the previous harvest.

After the Fallen Canyon incident, they had made a huge harvest and had not had time to count the spoils.

Now after taking an inventory, both of them were overjoyed, because the number of infected blood crystals in those space folding bags exceeded two thousand, and their levels were different.

Others cannot use these things directly and can only use them as trading items, but Yang Chen can use them directly.

In Yang Chen’s opinion, the value of the infected blood crystal is higher than the serum processed by the alliance.

Previously, because he had to work with Peng Min, he was worried that Peng Min might be infected, and he also didn’t want to expose his ability to directly use infected blood crystals. So when he was cooperating with the alliance and Huyan Lingxi, he asked for serum instead of infected blood crystals.

These infected blood crystals have arrived at the right time now. Not only can they be used as energy, they can even be used as research materials.

In the following time, Peng Min had been counting the supplies. Not only the spoils of war, but also a lot of supplies contributed by Ma Long and others. After all, they were all the supplies of the sixth-level evolvers, and the quantity was not small.

Yang Chen was concentrating on studying how to open the box, and during this period he also took the time to figure out the external upgrade principle of the strange object.

He guessed that if there was a way to integrate other high-level materials, the level of the original strange object would be greatly improved.

This should be the principle of “outsider” upgrade.

Before, he could only rely on Hu Yan’s atomic computing power card to calculate the required materials.

But now, relying on his own abilities and knowledge, he felt that he might be able to figure out a way to quickly upgrade items on his own.

Not only the shelter, if the theory is true, even super-rare objects should be able to be successfully upgraded using this method.

For example, his nail gun and arm guard, which are the only two super-special items he has.

But that’s all later. Now let’s find a way to upgrade the shelter first.

‘When upgrading from level 1 to level 2, the materials needed were carbon ore, rootless water, and earth power.’

“If we follow that upgrade route, carbon ore is necessary. The carbon ore I have is only enough to upgrade the shelter to the next level. I don’t know if I can get more carbon ore here.”

Yang Chen kept thinking: “There is absolutely no way that there is only one upgrade route for man-made wonders. What’s more, I am the creator, I can freely choose the upgrade route for the wonder.”

‘Even if it’s an already formed man-made wonder, as long as the method is correct, I should be able to forcibly modify the upgrade route and transform it into what I want.’

The day passed quickly, but the sky never got brighter.

The two could only rely on their senses to tell the passage of time.

Because the sun seemed to have completely disappeared, the light at night remained the same. During this period, Yang Chen injected derivative energy into Peng Min to improve his strength, but did not directly raise him to the middle stage of the third stage. He spent most of his time opening the metal box.

Finally, according to the time, on the second night after they arrived here, that is, more than forty hours in total, the metal box produced data:

[Critical Metal Safe Level 1: 0% (A safe made of critical metal, which can theoretically store mythical materials; Preservation: The higher the level, the better the preservation effect; Isolation: The higher the level, the stronger the isolation effect)]

‘Finally succeeded!’

Yang Chen breathed a sigh of relief: “Critical metal… can store divine materials. Could it be that the value of the force field core can be compared to divine materials? !”

He was surprised and delighted, and at the same time he finally understood why Kunwu had been pursuing him so relentlessly.

Even if the force field core inside is not as good as the real mythical material, it should not be much worse.

If this box could be used as material to integrate into the shelter, the shelter’s defense level would be raised to the extreme in an instant.

But this idea is just thought.

He was already a third-level super-evolver, but it took him dozens of hours just to derive attributes. The upgrade speed would definitely be shockingly slow.

As for using it as material to integrate into other items, not to mention how much time it would take, the difficulty would definitely be so great that it would drive people despair.

However, because the fusion of materials involves the issue of property transfer——

If I could reach the fourth level and have a deeper understanding of the attributes, maybe there would be hope.

‘Should it open now?’

Yang Chen stroked the critical metal safe, his mind moved.

“Kakaka…”

The top of the box slowly cracked and shrank, and the cover disappeared, revealing a black sphere the size of a human head inside.

Peng Min, who was taking care of the Nepenthes tree nearby, looked over curiously: “Did you open the box? Is this iron ball the core of the force field?”

“It looks like it should be.”

Yang Chen exclaimed: “It’s a very sophisticated instrument, and the material used is of a very high grade. Although it’s not as good as critical metal, it’s definitely not that bad.”

He carefully picked up the core with both hands and found that it was quite heavy.

It is about the size of a human head, but weighs hundreds of kilograms.

In other words, he is no longer an ordinary person. If he were an ordinary person, it would be difficult enough to just pick up this core.

“Spiritual power cannot penetrate it. It seems that the material is very high-grade.” He exclaimed again.

“My spatial force can barely penetrate, but it’s very difficult,” said Peng Min.

“Don’t force yourself to check it yet. I need this thing, don’t break it.”

He put away the box, took the core and walked around the shelter, sensing it carefully.

“Do you want to merge the force field core with the shelter?” As Yang Chen’s bedmate and only and best partner, Peng Min saw through Yang Chen’s plan at a glance.

“I have this idea, but it’s hard to say whether it can succeed.” Yang Chen said.

“When you were using the atomic computing power card, you were able to feel the induction only when all the materials were complete, right? Now if the materials are not complete, can you still feel the induction?” Peng Min asked.

“I’m looking for other ways to upgrade it. And this time I’m not just using it as nourishment. I want to integrate the function of the force field core into it.”

As Yang Chen spoke, he took out the remaining carbon ore: “But what you said is right, let’s try it, but there was rootless water last time, and it’s not raining now.”

He continued to sense, but that feeling of harmony did not appear.

‘correct……’

Suddenly, he had an idea, and at the same time, he input derivative energy into the shelter, the force field core in his hand, and the carbon ore next to him, connecting the three into one, and then continued to sense.

With this induction, a different feeling emerged.

A vague fluctuation appeared.

“This fluctuation…”

Yang Chen was delighted, and suddenly took out the critical metal box as well, while also inputting derivative Qi into it.

‘It still doesn’t work, what about other things? ‘

Thinking of this, he looked at Peng Min and said, “Take out the things you confiscated one by one. Let me have a look.”

“okay.”

Peng Min immediately took out the materials that had been counted previously one by one.
