Chapter 28

Source Altar.

Upon receiving the guidance feedback, Qi Sheng switched his perspective to the area where the explosion occurred at the first opportunity.

The power of the explosion was not great, only shattering three bluestone bricks on the ground, and it only took 0.05 points of Sacrifice Power to complete the self-repair.

But he was very curious about the cause of the explosion.

With doubts, he had the guide replay the scene seen by the clone.

When he saw the player Qin Ye studying a Level 1 spirit stone, Qi Sheng was puzzled, and then he zoomed in on the image inside the spirit stone.

"Is he rearranging the internal structure of the spirit stone?"

[Boss, I deduced it based on the structure he arranged, and I think he might be trying to make a Spirit Energy Bomb.]

"What do you mean?"

[Simply explained, it is to change the arrangement and combination of energy particles inside the spirit stone, making it a new structure that will instantly produce an energy collapse reaction when triggered by consciousness, but this is just my deduction and guess, I cannot be sure it is the answer.]

The guide's answer made Qi Sheng take a keen interest in this player.

When the Challenger System was first established, what he valued most was not the players' fearlessness after having the ability to resurrect infinitely, but the players' imaginative creativity.

For example, playing a war game as a farming game, creating flashy maneuvers that the developers had never thought of through specific bugs.

Before transmigrating, he was a player who was keen on games and had seen many players' whimsical ideas in games.

To verify his conjecture, he searched the memory archive information of this player's replicated body in the monster world.

The conclusion reached was just as the guide said: this player wanted to apply the real world's Spirit Energy Bomb technology to the game.

This discovery made Qi Sheng have more expectations for the player's future development.

Walking out of the game pod, Qin Ye realized that the potential of the game "Dark Lands" was far more terrifying than he had imagined.

Perfect simulation of reality meant that many experiments that were extremely dangerous in reality could be simulated and conducted in the game world, and the data obtained would directly promote the progress of real-world technology.

Arriving at his desk, he sent his findings to the "Sky Dome Technology Research Center" in the form of an email.

The Sky Dome Technology Research Center was a special institution established by the Human Federation specifically for researching alien technology, and he was one of its members, sent to the Crypt Trading Market to serve as an administrator.

While waiting for the resurrection cooldown, Qin Ye began to look through the information of alien races that had recently applied to enter the trading market.

Half an hour later, an email prompt popped up in the lower right corner.

Opening the email, Qin Ye discovered that it was actually an email sent from the headquarters of the Sky Dome Technology Research Center.

[Sender: Sky Dome Technology Research Center]

Content: Hello, D-rank administrator of the Crypt Trading Market, regarding your idea of testing dangerous weapons in a virtual environment, the headquarters has received it. After I consulted with my superiors, the reply to you is as follows:

1. After the release of "Dark Lands," the Sky Dome Center had already begun preparations to enter the game to try to conduct dangerous weapon experiment tests in a virtual environment.

2. The "Dark Lands" developed by the Moon Eclipse Clan uses Star Network real-name subscription, and we have no special privileges to bypass the subscription to enter the game directly. Regrettably, no one at the headquarters has managed to snap up game qualifications to date.

3. The Sky Dome Center has filed an application with the Human Federation Council to try to apply to the Moon Eclipse Clan for a batch of game qualifications that can be obtained directly by skipping the snap-up (the Federation Council has not yet given any reply).

After reading the content of the email, Qin Ye was speechless.

He didn't expect that the Sky Dome headquarters, which had top-level authority in the Human Federation, could not get game experience qualifications.

It can be seen how insane the hunger marketing of the game "Dark Lands" is.

In this new era where virtual game pods have become popular in thousands of households, the Human Federation has a population of 2 billion, but the game qualifications issued by the Moon Eclipse Clan to the human race in each round are only one million, which can be described as a drop in the bucket.

At this moment, he thought of the welfare worker who sent the pirated link, and a bold idea emerged in his mind:

"Perhaps I can send the pirated download link to the Sky Dome Center and let them download the pirated version to enter the game."

Without hesitation, he immediately sent the link to the Sky Dome headquarters in the form of an email.

4 hours later.

Three deafening explosions rang out on the ancient battlefield outside Emperor Tomb Village, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.

[Challenger Prompt: Killed evil life form: Blood Corpse, gained 125 evolution points, gained 24 points of Sacrifice Power reward, Eagle-Headed Demon form level +1.]

[Challenger Prompt: Killed evil life form: Blood Corpse....]

Prompts sounded one after another in his mind, and Qin Ye couldn't help but laugh out loud.

He didn't expect that his accidental idea would actually come true in the game.

Spirit Energy Bombs made from Level 1 spirit stones only needed three to kill a Blood Corpse of level 10 or higher.

More importantly, the Spirit Energy Bomb caused area damage; three of them killed a total of 8 Blood Corpses, raising his Eagle-Headed Demon level to 10.

If it were bombs made of Level 2 or even higher-level spirit stones, one could imagine how powerful they would be.

Although making Spirit Energy Bombs required costs and required purchasing spirit stones in the mall, the benefits created were far greater than the costs.

This discovery gave Qin Ye a wild idea.

Perhaps he could build a Star Pulse school around the Spirit Energy Bomb.

With the idea, Qin Ye immediately returned to Emperor Tomb Village and entered the test tower.

For the next few hours, Qin Ye tried to combine different Life Souls with the use of Spirit Energy Bombs.

His first choice of Life Soul was not the Eagle-Headed Demon, but the Sea Stone Life Soul.

The effect of the Sea Stone's source ability was that it could continuously and rapidly restore mental power even in a normal state.

Making Spirit Energy Bombs required strong mental power for support; the three Level 1 Spirit Energy Bombs he made just now drained his mental power, and he could not continue to make them in a short time.

But after embedding the Sea Stone Life Soul, his mental power endurance would be greatly strengthened.

For the remaining Life Souls, he chose those that increased mental power or were related to mental recovery, focusing on continuous bombardment.

After simply testing the first Star Pulse combination, Qin Ye discovered a big problem.

There was no friendly fire immunity mechanism in the game, and the immensely powerful Spirit Energy Bombs could easily affect himself.

How to solve this problem? He thought of two feasible plans.

1. Find Life Souls that can resist bomb impact to match and improve his own defense.

2. Find a Life Soul that can throw at an ultra-long distance to throw the Spirit Energy Bomb out of the range that could affect himself.

How to choose between these two plans? After careful consideration, Qin Ye thought that the second plan was more reliable.

There were many choices for defensive Life Souls, but to improve ultimate defense, one had to match multiple defensive Life Souls; for example, the popular "standing-still immortal" style on the forum was to use the Gargoyle as the core and then match a series of Life Souls that restored health + increased defense.

But in the early stage, there were not many Star Pulse slots, and increasing explosion power was the key; embedding multiple defensive Life Souls did not conform to the growth path of the Spirit Energy Bomb he envisioned.
