Chapter 252

When Jie Ming finally returned to the huge space crack connecting the "ship plane" and the "Airspace Plane" again, the scene before his eyes had undergone earth-shaking changes.

During the time he left, the command headquarters had already manufactured a huge "floating camp" like a suspended island below that space crack!

The entire camp was composed of solid black rock, which looked like it was taken directly from the ship plane.

Various fully functional wizard buildings had already been established on it; energy towers, alchemy workshops, and even trading markets had already taken initial shape.

Countless energy runes were flashing on the edge of the camp, forming several solid defenses.

Jie Ming controlled his flight trajectory and descended slowly onto the central plaza of the floating camp.

He found that it was much livelier than he had expected when he came!

Because, at this moment, besides the wizards who were returning from all directions one after another, there were also large batches of local creatures captured by these wizards during the exploration process on the plaza.

Various strange-looking creatures were driven by powerful wizards using energy chains or soul contracts, constantly pouring in from all directions like goods being escorted.

And the camp swallowed those massive war trophies one after another, just like a giant beast that could never be full.

Landing in the camp, Jie Ming easily found that "Affairs Center" with an obvious sign.

He stepped forward, recorded the status that he had accepted and would execute the mandatory task on the terminal, and also received a large pile of "signal markers" the size of marbles, flashing with faint spatial fluctuations, from the alchemy puppet next to him.

After completing the pre-steps of the mandatory task, Jie Ming didn't leave immediately.

He planned to find in this newly established camp whether he could buy the wizard tools he most urgently needed now, which could stabilize the surrounding space or mark his own precise spatial position, to avoid the danger of falling into "spatial turbulence."

Just when he was strolling in the market, a familiar voice came from the side.

"Junior Jie Ming? What a coincidence, you're back too!"

Jie Ming turned his head and found it was exactly Senior Jack.

"Senior Jack, I didn't expect to meet you, it seems my luck is not bad—"

The two greeted each other happily.

After some pleasantries, Jack, who had seen Jie Ming looking for something at various stalls before, couldn't help but curiously ask him:

"Junior Jie Ming, I saw you seem to be looking for something since just now? If it's not urgent, tell me, your senior, I assisted in building this place before, and I know this place quite well."

Jie Ming didn't hide it either and stated his purpose frankly: "I want to find a wizard tool that can stabilize space or mark my own spatial coordinates. The space in this plane is too unstable, and the danger is a bit high."

Jack thought for a moment after hearing Jie Ming's request, and then his eyes lit up: "If it's a wizard tool, I don't have one here, but, Levin Mills—you should still remember him, the only guy among our group who promoted to Tier 3, he might be able to solve this problem for you."

"Senior Levin Mills?" Jie Ming's mind immediately flashed the person he had seen before, and then he was somewhat puzzled, "If I remember correctly, that senior should be from the Magic Potion Department, right?"

"It seems you do remember him, that's right, he is indeed specializing in Magic Potion Studies. Although Levin cannot manufacture complex wizard tools, he recently successfully manufactured a very special magic potion using the creatures of this world."

"After using this magic potion, the user's own perception of wind elements and spatial power can be greatly improved! Although it won't allow you to come and go freely in spatial turbulence and completely immune to its existence. But at least, taking that magic potion can make the user more easily perceive those 'spatial turbulence' areas in advance, and then avoid danger in advance."

"And according to Levin, the effect of this magic potion to improve perception is permanent! Even for your future learning and research of spatial knowledge, it also has a considerable help!"

Jie Ming's eyes lit up upon hearing Jack's introduction!

There is such a good thing?

He asked impatiently: "Senior Jack, can this thing be sold to me?"

Jack smiled heartily: "Of course this is no problem, we originally planned to use this to exchange for some needed resources. But—I'm afraid not now, because there are no raw materials. So I'm afraid you need to wait for a period of time."

Seeing the regretful look on Jie Ming's face, Jack explained to him patiently: "The most core raw material for this magic potion is a kind of 'wind element energy body' that is highly concentrated and extremely pure under high-pressure environment. You also know the difficulty of obtaining this thing, it is indeed not easy to obtain"

Jie Ming sighed helplessly upon hearing this.

Energy bodies are common, but if you add the two labels of highly concentrated and extremely pure in front, it means this thing is very hard to find.

In this way, this magical magic potion might be of no use to him.

After all, the danger of spatial turbulence is always present.

If they have to wait for them to find new raw materials and configure it, then the opportunity will have long passed.

Just at this moment, Jack suddenly changed the subject and revealed his true purpose.

He looked at Jie Ming, and his expression became more serious: "Jie Ming, do you want to go with us to complete an emergency rescue task?"

Without waiting for Jie Ming to ask, Jack explained quickly: "Our team accepted those emergency tasks before, among which one is the 'rescue lost wizard' task. We need to go to a 'spatial turbulence' area marked out to rescue several lost wizards."

"But the twisted space inside that spatial turbulence is unexpectedly large, far exceeding our initial estimation. So, we need more manpower here to help search."

"Don't worry, the danger level of this task is not high. After all, after going in, the main body of the search is some reconnaissance-type cannon fodder we specifically transformed. Wizards only need to control it from the periphery. And, our team has already found a stable entrance and exit for that spatial turbulence, and can safely withdraw at any time."

"If you are willing to help us solve this task together, then besides the reward for this task, I can also decide to give you a bottle of that magic potion that can permanently improve spatial perception I mentioned before!"

Jie Ming's eyes lit up; this deal was quite heart-moving.

However, he also had some doubts: "Is the scope inside that spatial distortion large? If there is really insufficient manpower, wouldn't it be okay to dispatch more reconnaissance cannon fodder?"

Jack smiled bitterly helplessly: "The scope of the area inside that spatial distortion is larger than imaginable. To tell you the truth, the number of cannon fodder that every wizard in our team can control with soul contracts has already reached the limit. So we need to recruit more new wizards and invest more cannon fodder to expand the search range."

Jie Ming was even more puzzled upon hearing this; he also looked at that emergency task and felt that their investment had already exceeded the reward of the task.

"Are those wizards inside important to you?"

Jack leaned into Jie Ming's ear mysteriously: "Those wizards are not important; what's important are those spatial distortion nodes themselves. These 'spatial distortions,' although troublesome to deal with, generally have massive amounts of high-value resources inside these distortion points!"

"After all, wanting to form such a stable 'spatial distortion' means there is a large amount of pure elements gathered inside. And massive elements gathered for a long time will definitely give birth to various rare high-value resources or creatures!"

"Including the raw material for that magic potion, it was actually obtained from the inside of another similar 'spatial distortion' node."

After listening to this remark from Senior Jack, Jie Ming weighed the pros and cons quickly in his heart.

He agreed to Jack's proposal almost without hesitation.

"Alright, if it's really like what you said, I'm afraid I should thank you, senior, for giving me this opportunity."

After all, Jack's proposal had minimal risk for him, but the benefits were extremely high.

And besides those resources and that magic potion, Jie Ming had another idea.

He wanted to follow these experienced "veterans" to act together and learn.

See if he could accumulate some experience and knowledge in dealing with and handling dangerous situations like "spatial distortion."

"Each takes what he needs, and wizards from the same academy are always more reassuring than other foreign wizards." Jack laughed, and then, the two quickly set the time and place to meet again, and then, Jack hurried away to say goodbye to Jie Ming again.

Looking at his appearance, he should be going to continue recruiting other manpower.

After saying goodbye to Senior Jack, who came and went in a hurry, Jie Ming didn't return to rest immediately, but strolled around this temporary plaza full of noise and vitality again.

After all, that magic potion only provided a passive "early warning" method, which could at most be considered a backup method.

If he could find a powerful wizard tool that could calm local spatial turbulence at a critical moment, that would naturally be the best.

On the plaza, people were moving, and the atmosphere was warm.

Besides various wizards selling their own homemade products like magic potions and wizard tools at the stalls, many others were wizards selling various fresh biological materials they obtained from this plane, or even rare living animals.

After all, the official acquisition price of the camp was still too low, which could only be considered a bottom line.

If he could find a suitable buyer here and sell it to other wizards, he could earn a little more price difference than the official acquisition price.

Just when Jie Ming was walking between stalls that were strange and bizarre, his gaze was suddenly attracted by a creature in a cage at a certain stall, and he stopped.
