Charging you one hundred thousand Earth Coins for this technique isn't expensive. I know you have the authority to approve technology acquisitions under one million, so this amount is no problem for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How do you know my technology procurement limit?\" Qin Ye's eyes instantly widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Green Elf merchant seemed to realize he had misspoken and immediately chose to remain silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Have you people planted spies within the Human Federation?\" Qin Ye continued to probe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Absolutely not; we Green Elves maintain friendly relations with humans. This is intelligence we purchased externally.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where did you buy it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No comment. We Green Elves value integrity above all... so, are you buying this technology or not?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing he could not extract useful intelligence from the Green Elf merchant's mouth, Qin Ye stopped pressing the issue and nodded, saying:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'll buy it, but the price must be lowered further.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some haggling, Qin Ye ultimately purchased the Spirit Bomb manufacturing technology for seventy thousand Earth Coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Returning to the workshop with the green information sphere containing the sealed technology, Qin Ye eagerly began his experimental tests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The manufacturing technique was actually quite simple; one only needed to use consciousness engraving to alter the internal structure of the Spirit Bomb, finally leaving a strand of consciousness as the detonation fuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, during the test, Qin Ye quickly encountered a difficult problem to solve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the consciousness engraving process, which he conducted using a consciousness amplifier, he felt dizzy and lightheaded halfway through, unable to continue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh no!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ye suddenly realized a major issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Green Elves could easily manufacture Spirit Bombs, but humans, with their mental strength, might not be able to achieve the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This technology, though seemingly simple and practical, was limited to assembly line production in arsenals; Human warriors could not replicate the Green Elves' ability to craft a Spirit Bomb at any time via consciousness engraving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ye's expression instantly turned bitter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seventy thousand Earth Coins were already spent; getting a refund was impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, he had two choices: use his personal savings to cover the procurement error, or submit a procurement report to his superiors explaining his mistake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with this decision, Qin Ye decisively chose to use his own savings to fill the procurement fund gap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For problems that could be solved with money, he would never trouble his superiors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His family offered him little support in his career, with one exception: he never had to worry about running out of money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sitting dazed in the workshop, Qin Ye sighed in dejection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his view, this Spirit Bomb technology was completely useless, far less practical than he had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For assembly line production, the Human Federation had better options.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Glancing up at the clock on the wall, he realized his resurrection cooldown had ended, so he immediately stood up and walked toward the game pod.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, a sudden flash of inspiration struck his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dark Land,\" created by the Eclipse Clan, was a game with one hundred percent realism; logically, the spirit energy substances within it were no different from those in reality, meaning the issue of weak human mental strength was not a problem in the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was because monster forms could significantly boost his mental strength intensity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For instance, both the Bone Fire and the Eagle-Headed Demon were monster forms with mental strength intensities several times greater than that of humans.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, could this technology be applied within the game?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's try it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this idea in mind, Qin Ye immediately decided to enter the game to conduct practical tests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After logging into the game and appearing at the resurrection point in Emperor Tomb Village, Qin Ye checked his balance, which showed he still had 232 points of Sacrificial Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of these, 200 points of Sacrificial Power had been purchased by him using credit coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Summoning the mall panel, he began searching for Energy Stones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After entering the three characters \"Energy Stone\" into the search bar, the page automatically jumped to the relevant product listing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After comparing options, Qin Ye chose the cheapest Level 1 Energy Stones as test props, priced at 30 points of Sacrificial Power each, and purchased five of them at once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon successful purchase, the items automatically entered his private space inventory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Taking one out, Qin Ye found an empty spot in Emperor Tomb Village to begin his test.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The engraving process required a powerful infusion of mental strength, which his human form clearly could not achieve, so he decisively switched to his Eagle-Headed Demon form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Projecting his consciousness outside his body, the particle structure inside the spirit stone became clearly visible under his perception.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He proceeded to rearrange them according to the energy particle alignment structure provided by the Green Elves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Several minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Accompanied by a loud bang, the unstable structure caused the Level 1 spirit stone to explode instantly; Qin Ye felt everything go black before his eyes, and a game notification popped up in his mind:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Challenger Notification: You have entered the resurrection cooldown!]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Challenger Notification: Damage caused to the Emperor Tomb Village environment; automatically deducting 13 points of Sacrificial Power required for repairs.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ye: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching the screen gradually turn black, Qin Ye's resentment toward the resurrection cooldown setting erupted once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had waited so hard for the cooldown to end, only to be forcibly logged off less than five minutes after entering the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn Eclipse Clan, broken game!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While cursing inwardly, Qin Ye found himself increasingly anticipating his next login.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because he had confirmed his hypothesis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The game \"Dark Land\" could indeed perfectly simulate reality; the Green Elves' Spirit Bomb technology could be fully applied within the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for this accidental explosion, it was purely due to his lack of operational proficiency, which could be improved upon later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>",1360,"2026-06-19T09:20:35.554Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","cccb048549f6bc21889e5c64d3556784756d74b57c0c21af45aa2249eb0951eb","monsters-are-coming-chapter-32","monsters-are-coming-chapter-30",393,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fmonsters-are-coming-cover.jpg"]
