Chapter 100 Harvest
One million cubic meters of cosmic crystals!
This number kept echoing in Chen Yuan's mind.
According to the standard cutting specifications of cosmic crystals, one square cosmic crystal can be processed into one thousand cosmic coins.
This means that the mineral deposit beneath our feet is worth at least one billion universe coins!
After a brief moment of excitement, Chen Yuan quickly calmed down.
He realized a thorny problem—how to extract these treasures buried deep underground.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan suddenly felt troubled.
It's not that he lacks strength. With Chen Yuan's current strength, a full-force sword strike could carve a giant trench ten kilometers long and a hundred meters deep into the ground.
Yes, only 100 meters deep!
Moreover, he can only do it on the surface of the earth.
Because the deeper you go underground, the harder the soil becomes; at depths of several hundred meters, the soft soil turns into hard rock.
At that point, even if Chen Yuan used all his strength in a single sword strike, he might only be able to shatter the rocks a few dozen meters below.
However, he needed to drill through 5300 meters of ground, and the sheer scale of the project was unimaginable.
"We have no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it."
Chen Yuan shook his head helplessly, then used telepathy to find an area with relatively soft soil.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
After several sharp sword flashes, a huge crater hundreds of meters deep appeared on the ground.
Chen Yuan jumped into the giant pit and continued to slash downwards.
clang!
This time, the blade struck the rock with a crisp sound.
This time, his all-out attack only opened up a passage 90 meters deep.
Catching his breath, Chen Yuan thought about the five kilometers of digging ahead and felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
He had never for a moment thought of regretting not being a spiritualist.
If he had telekinesis, he could use telekinetic weapons to form a drill, which would make digging much more efficient than it is now.
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs," because mental power is a special aptitude that only a small number of people can awaken.
Even a normal martial artist with a strong will may find it difficult to awaken their powers if they lack the necessary aptitude.
Chen Yuan had seen a similar potion in the company's treasury; once ingested, it could convert conscious power into mental power.
At the time, he felt he didn't need it, so he glanced at it and skipped it. Besides, that kind of potion wasn't cheap, and Chen Yuan couldn't afford it before.
In reality, this potion is quite useless, because the converted mental power is not as readily available as that of a natural mentalist; it is merely an extra force.
Furthermore, this kind of mental power is difficult to use in actual combat. For some skilled martial artists, using mental power to attack is far less powerful than using martial arts techniques.
Therefore, Chen Yuan had long since given up on the path of a spiritualist and was prepared to pursue the path of a martial artist to the bitter end, since after becoming immortal, the two paths would be almost indistinguishable.
If this excavation hadn't been so tedious and inefficient, Chen Yuan would never have thought of using mental power.
Time passed slowly, and two and a half hours later, Chen Yuan dug to a depth of 4200 meters, not far from the cosmic crystal deposit.
However, he stopped, not because he was tired, but because the space ring had been optimized.
Chen Yuan took out a new ring from the panel, probed it with his consciousness, and found that the internal space of the ring had been expanded into a longer shape.
A huge space, 100 meters wide and 100 meters high.
That is, the total volume reaches 100 million cubic meters.
"Not bad, the area is quite large, but—"
Chen Yuan said with some helplessness, "It's still not enough."
To be honest, Chen Yuan couldn't be too critical of the system; it had already increased the ring's space by a thousand times. He just regretted encountering too many mineral deposits.
Chen Yuan suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked the system, "Can you optimize the ring again to keep the timer within an hour?"
He estimated that he would be able to dig to the location of the cosmic crystal in about an hour at most.
The system responded quickly, and the result pleased Chen Yuan: it was possible, but the optimization effect would be reduced.
So Chen Yuan spent 2 kill points to further optimize the ring.
Subsequently, Chen Yuan once again entered the mining industry.
An hour later, the ring was optimized, and Chen Yuan also happened to dig up the cosmic crystal area.
When Chen Yuan took out the ring, he saw that the width and height of the internal space remained unchanged at 100 meters, only the length had increased to 150 meters.
That is, 150 million cubic meters of space.
"That's enough, let's use it for now."
Chen Yuan estimated that the cosmic crystals below would not exceed 120 million cubic meters, so he would use them for now and wait until all the cosmic crystals inside were installed before making any further plans.
So, in the following time, Chen Yuan began to cut the cosmic crystal, dividing it into pieces and putting them into his spatial ring.
A full night passed, and Chen Yuan's harvest was plentiful, having collected all the underground cosmic crystals, totaling 118 million cubic meters, worth 11.8 million cubic meters.
One billion Universe Coins.
The next morning, Chen Yuan flew out of the deep underground pit, looking radiant and joyful.
Looking at the mountain of cosmic crystals piled up in the ring, Chen Yuan couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
make persistent efforts.
Chen Yuan unfolded the holographic map, tapped it with his fingertip, and the nearest gathering place of crystal beasts was displayed 1100 kilometers away.
He flashed and transformed into a streak of light, disappearing into the sky.
Half an hour later, when he arrived at his destination, the scene before him made him frown—the area that should have been ravaged by crystal beasts was now completely empty, with only a huge crater hundreds of meters in diameter remaining.
Upon seeing this pit, Chen Yuan immediately realized that the news of the lifting of the ban had probably spread. While he was fighting hard last night, others were doing the same thing.
Chen Yuan stood on the edge of the pit and used his mind to probe. Sure enough, the area below had been hollowed out and there was no one there; they had probably all left long ago.
This is normal. Chen Yuan came in a hurry and did not bring any digging tools. He only managed to complete a five-kilometer passage thanks to the toughness and sharpness of the Qingxiao Sword.
Those who came later must have brought professional mining equipment, so their efficiency was naturally higher.
Furthermore, the tunnel dug by the other side was not as deep as Chen Yuan's, only a little over two thousand meters. According to Chen Yuan's estimation, the mineral deposits inside...
It will not exceed 30 cubic meters.
Therefore, it's normal for the other side to finish before Chen Yuan.
Exhaling slowly, Chen Yuan opened the map, preparing to head to the next location.
"Master, you have a communication in the virtual universe from Lord Shilan."
The wind sprite reminded me.
"teacher?"
Chen Yuan gave a slight nod, and then a wisp of his consciousness entered the virtual universe to answer a communication call.
"Chen Yuan".
Shi Lan's projection appeared, "Yesterday, the company found the Secret Realm Rift on Dark Blue Star, officially confirming that the Purple Radiance Secret Realm has a remaining lifespan of 10 eras."
"Has it been found?"
Chen Yuan couldn't help but marvel at the company's efficiency, then asked, "What about Dark Blue Star? What are the company's plans?"
"Dark Blue Star has been purchased by the branch and become company property, and a garrison has been established around the rift."
"The company has decided that, one era later, it will send an immortal expert to complete the final harvest of the secret realm."
At this point, Shi Lan paused, "At the same time, excavation permits will be granted to all members of the elite zone for a limited time of one month."
"Within a month, all students below the cosmic level will enter the secret realm to excavate the hidden cosmic crystals."
"Therefore, your training mission is canceled. Hurry up and collect more cosmic crystals."
Looking at the student, Shi Lan couldn't help but sigh. What should have been a life-or-death experience had been turned into a mining game.
But there's nothing we can do; at least ten million people will flood into the secret realm next.
At that time, not only will it be a mixed bag, but there will also be far more crystal beasts than meat.
In Shi Lan's view, it would be very difficult for Chen Yuan to complete the mission objectives.
It would be better to cancel the task altogether and let him accumulate more wealth to prepare for the future.
"Teacher, let's not cancel the task, shall we?"
Chen Yuan raised his hand to show his current score: "I've completed a quarter of it. In the remaining time, I will speed up the process and try to finish the task as soon as possible."
It's important to know that the points earned from this training mission will be converted into company internal points on a one-to-one basis. In Chen Yuan's eyes,
This is all money.
If the mission is canceled, he won't get any more points no matter how many crystal beasts he kills.
"Oh?"
Shi Lan was quite shocked when she saw Chen Yuan's points: "It's only been one day, and you've already accumulated over two thousand points!"
Since the points for the training missions are tallied by the virtual universe, Shi Lan understands that Chen Yuan couldn't have cheated; he earned these results through his true strength.
"By sheer luck."
Chen Yuan smiled slightly.
"Impressive. Looks like I underestimated you."
Shi Lan exclaimed in amazement, then said, "Alright, since you have the ability to do it—then let's continue with the training mission."
"Thank you, teacher," Chen Yuan said gratefully.
After hanging up the call, Chen Yuan returned to reality, where a map projection appeared before him.
"With over ten million people flooding into the secret realm, it seems I need to speed things up."
Chen Yuan murmured, his gaze fixed on a certain area on the map.
