Volume II: Chapter 57: Absorption
Late at night, Chitaki opened the door of the room and walked in, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, drank a little dark beer, he found that there was no illusion of decomposition alcohol, his alcohol consumption was actually very bad, and he felt dizzy after drinking a little, but fortunately, there was a lesson from the last dinner, Chromie and Hatu and others wisely chose to drink rationally, it seems that Chitaki drank with them at the beginning, and the matter of drinking a group of people alone caused a huge shadow in their hearts.
Chitaki came to the corner, turned out the hidden box, and opened it subconsciously, but he was stunned, he wiped his eyes, and the metal ball was still lying quietly inside, but the purple energy crystal was gone, replaced by a pile of white slag, Chitaki was naturally familiar with these white slags, and the energy crystals were absorbed.
Chitaki suddenly sobered up for a moment, and he called in a low voice, "Phantom? ”
Time passed by a second, but unfortunately the metal ball still did not have any reaction, and Chitaki couldn't help but take a deep breath to calm down the slightly excited mood.
An hour passed, and Chitaki could be sure that Phantom had not woken up, but it was not without good news, at least his guess was right, Phantom needed energy, and it was absorbing energy.
Chitaki put the illusion back in the box, and then put it away, all he needed to do now was to wait for time, wait until Chromie mined all the energy crystals, and then get his share, it was useless to be in a hurry now.
Ten days later, in the hangar in Area F, Chromie was directing the team to drive the mecha to carry the next box of packed energy crystals from the Mushroom.
Chitaki stood beside Chromie and watched her companion busy with work.
Chromie opened his mouth and said, "A total of 102352 standard volume III energy crystal blocks have been mined, the quality of which is good and bad, the mushroom has taken 1 percent, and the Hiboni has been requisitioned and transferred 2 percent, although I don't know what you want this thing for, but it doesn't matter, you can give it to you if you want, 3 ingredients will be given to you, and the remaining 4 percent will be stored by me, you can rest assured that your 3 percent I have made an account, and it is not in the presidential count of the Hiberni." ”
Chitaki nodded and said, "Thank you." ”
"What are you going to do with these energy crystals? I'll save it for you? Chromie asked curiously.
Chitaki replied, "Put it in my hangar." ”
"Okay." Chromie nodded.
After a long time, after sending away Chromie and the others, Chitaki closed the door of the private hangar, and then opened the boxes containing crystals, one by one, and there were blue energy crystals lying quietly inside, and the specifications and sizes were cut very well.
Chitaki turned off the power system in the hangar, came to the dead corner, took out the phantom metal ball, and then picked up an energy crystal to touch the phantom metal ball, at this time the entire energy crystal suddenly lit up, floating out of blue free energy, entangled in the metal ball, and the next second the energy crystal shattered, turning from blue to a turbid white crystal.
Chitaki was suddenly happy in her heart and picked up a piece.
Another piece,
Another piece......
Fourteen or fifteen hours later, Chitaki's expression changed slightly, and all the ability crystals in all the boxes in the entire hangar were absorbed and turned into slag, but the illusion still did not wake up, and the metal ball did not change at all.
Chitaki pulled over a chair, sat on it, and waited quietly.
Before he knew it, he fell asleep, and when he woke up in a daze.
The metal ball was still lying quietly in his hand, and Chitaki had to accept the reality, Phantom still didn't wake up, maybe it was because he didn't collect enough energy crystals, maybe it was something else, but now Chitaki doesn't know.
Outside the hangar, Chromie stood far away leaning against a pillar and smoking.
Milo walked up to him and asked, "Look at you as if you're worried." ”
"Yes, sort of." Chromie did not deny it.
"Worried about Chitaki?" Milo asked.
Chromie opened his mouth and said, "That's the case, although he can't ask in his mouth, but he wants so many energy crystals, after all, he is still a little worried." ”
"Since he has already thought about it, what are you worried about, he knows what he is doing, in a way he is still very reliable, saying that if you are really so worried, what are you doing with so many energy crystals?" Milo spoke.
Chromie nodded, which he still did not deny.
"By the way, your piece of metal was delivered to the council?"
"Yes, the council seems to be interested in that thing, so I'll leave it to them." Chromie did not deny it.
Milo smiled and said, "How did the council know you picked it up?" You've always been very unimpressed with the council. ”
"I really can't hide it from you, it was Dominic who asked for it, so I gave it to him, as for how he knew, I don't know." Chromie replied.
Milo then spoke, "That's pretty much what I guessed." ”
Chromie thought for a moment and said, "The Hiboni is estimated to stay for a short time to extract resources." ”
"Well, it's going to be at least a few months, this planet is a little more dangerous, but the resources are still okay, and they will be replenished here." Milo replied.
Three days later, Chitaki was in the Sector F hangar to help Jenken maintain the tyrants, and Jerken said as she checked for damage to the wiring.
"Boss, please tap it next time you use the tyrant, how does this feel that every time you use it, you will not die or be disabled?"
Chitaki was also very helpless, he didn't expect that just by being affected by the shock wave, the tyrant would suffer a lot of trauma, although it was not very fatal.
"I'll definitely pay attention to this next time."
"Are you Chitaki-sama?" A neutral voice rang out.
Chitaki turned to look and asked about a middle-aged woman dressed in a white doctor's costume.
"I am, you are?" Chitaki asked uncertainly, he remembered very well that he had not seen this person.
"I'm Dr. Merry, you have a friend who is not in good health, but I want to see you, I am here to inform you." Dr. Merry said calmly.
Chitaki asked suspiciously, "Friend?" Can you tell me the name? ”
"Yes, it's Miss Youlan." Merry replied.
Chitaki took off the gloves on her hand and said, "You wait for me for a few minutes, and I'll change my clothes and come with you." ”
"Okay, then I'll wait for you outside." Merry politely replied and turned to leave.
Jieken asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's nothing, I'll leave it to you here." Chitaki said as she took off her oil-stained overalls.
"Okay." Jenken nodded.
Soon Chitaki changed her coat and walked to the gate of Area F, where Merry was standing at the door.
"Alright, let's go." Chitaki replied.
"Please follow me." Merry walked outside with Chitaki.
