Free Web NovelThe Staff Member’s face grew even paler. His gaze was fixed on the dashboard in front of him. “The Delivery volume has exceeded 12mol! 13mol! 15mol... Director, what should we do? Even the emergency button isn’t working!”
He reported the data while frantically pressing the shutdown key and emergency brake button, but no matter what he did, the magnetic ray remained active!
Inside the Awakening Cabin where Mingxi was, the blue smoke grew thicker and thicker, turning a dark, almost black, blue!
Everyone’s heartbeats at this moment were more intense than when they were confessed to by their crushes; they were practically leaping out of their throats.
Huo Tianheng and Luo Hai’s expressions were equally grim.
“How could this happen! Didn’t they say the Awakening Instrument would never have any problems?” Huo Tianheng no longer looked like an ordinary old man. His eyes were cold and sharp, like an eagle ready to swoop down and devour its prey at any moment!
The Director felt as if he was about to be killed, a Chill in his heart.
But he still managed to answer calmly: “Huo Lao, every Awakening Instrument here is cross-checked daily by three independent technical teams to ensure 100% no fraud, no errors, and no loopholes.”
“Since our Imperial Capital Beast Center was established, there has never been a problem with the Awakening Instrument malfunctioning.”
Although he had also suspected the instrument was malfunctioning just now, he knew in his heart that it was absolutely impossible.
He never expected that ‘absolute’ to be so fragile! frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
The first malfunction happened so suddenly and unexpectedly.
And of all times, it had to happen during his shift. What kind of rotten luck was this?
“When I walked into that iron window, losing all my dreams and thoughts, all kinds of scoundrels, all kinds of bad, no one remembers my appearance!”
The Director began to sing his own ‘Iron Window Tears’ internally.
Luo Hai also said, “Huo Lao, I know what you suspect, but the Hongmeng Awakening Ceremony does not operate on an appointment system. No one knew that Mingxi was coming for the Hongmeng Awakening Ceremony today, so it’s impossible for someone to have intentionally sabotaged it!”
Although he was also very helpless now.
Huo Tianheng’s face was as dark as ink: “Is there any other way to interrupt the ξ magnetic ray release now? Can we forcibly remove the hongmeng stone?”
Mingxi absolutely cannot be in trouble!
Luo Hai looked at the ‘dark room’ that had become so dense it completely obscured Mingxi’s figure, and shook his head with an exceptionally grave expression.
“Under the activated state of the ξ magnetic ray, no one can approach the hongmeng stone; they would be instantly magnetized into air!”
This situation had never happened before, and he was also a bit flustered!
As they talked,
The total gas volume in the Awakening Cabin had already exceeded 30mol, and the instrument kept alarming, piercing people’s hearts with pain.
“...40mol... 43mol!”
This newly replaced hongmeng stone was considerably larger than the previous one and could magnetize approximately 55mol of Hongmeng Magnetized Qi.
Mingxi had already absorbed 10mol earlier, so there were about 45mol left.
“The hongmeng stone’s energy is depleted.”
While they were still frowning in worry, the hongmeng stone had already turned into a greyish-white ordinary stone.
“The ξ magnetic ray has stopped operating!”
But what good was that now?
Mingxi was now in extreme danger. The excessive and concentrated Hongmeng Magnetized Qi had enveloped her, continuously seeping into her facial features, skin, and then through her blood and meridians, converging in her brain, affecting her spiritual sea...
“Can we forcibly destroy the Awakening Instrument?” Huo Tianheng said, already summoning his strongest beast, the Mountain Sea Zhuyu!
“Yes, we can. With Mountain Sea Zhuyu’s ability, the glass of the Awakening Cabin wouldn’t withstand a single blow. But forcibly interrupting the ceremony under these circumstances might stimulate Mingxi’s brain region.”
Luo Hai’s mood was very heavy. “At best, it’s shock; at worst... at worst, brain collapse!”
In other words, forcibly interrupting the ceremony under these circumstances, just like absorbing an excessive amount of Hongmeng Magnetized Qi, could result in Mingxi becoming an idiot after waking up.
Huo Tianheng’s face darkened even further upon hearing this.
This won’t do, that won’t do, could he only watch helplessly?
He couldn’t imagine how great a loss it would be for Dragonflower Country if Mingxi really became an idiot.
He took a deep breath, trying his best to calm down, and looked at the stunned Staff Members. “How is Mingxi’s physical condition?”
Everyone came back to their senses.
“Heart rate, pulse, and blood pressure are temporarily normal. Negative emotional value is 4, now it’s 5!”
“Total absorption has already exceeded 51mol... 52mol... 53...”
Huo Tianheng and Luo Hai exchanged glances.
“Huo Lao, don’t worry yet. It seems Mingxi’s situation isn’t too bad. She might even be able to absorb all of this Hongmeng Magnetized Qi.” Nan Huai comforted the anxious Huo Tianheng.
Huo Tianheng sighed, “I hope so.”
In this situation, there was nothing else they could do but observe.
At this moment, Mingxi, trapped inside the Awakening Instrument, was actually not having an easy time either.
The Hongmeng Awakening Ceremony being called ‘an anesthetic-free craniotomy’ means the pain level would definitely not be low.
It was just that she tempered her body daily in the Thunder Pool and Han Qi Pool, so her endurance was already beyond what ordinary people could compare to.
A mere ‘craniotomy’ was not enough to cause her to experience a large amount of negative emotions, so in the previous few times, she had almost no extra emotional fluctuations.
And her physical fitness had already reached A-level, so absorbing Hongmeng Magnetized Qi simply couldn’t affect her physical condition.
As for why the instrument malfunctioned after a new hongmeng stone was replaced?
It was because Guangguang sensed the power of rules on the activated hongmeng stone.
But to collect the complete power of rules, the hongmeng stone’s activation could not be interrupted like this from time to time; it needed to be maintained for at least 2 minutes.
So, after communicating with Guangguang, Mingxi decided to take a gamble.
Guangguang invaded the Awakening Instrument, temporarily becoming the instrument’s master, preventing the magnetic ray ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) from being interrupted, and then seized the opportunity to collect the power of rules!
Of course, this also meant that Mingxi had to absorb an excessive and concentrated amount of Hongmeng Magnetized Qi.
“Hmm.”
Mingxi groaned in pain. Her brain felt like it had turned into fragile threads, constantly being destroyed by external energy, and then constantly reshaped.
The threads slowly changed from their original transparent and weak state to becoming tough and strong.
But this pain was indescribable.
So, her negative emotional value finally exceeded 5.
Mingxi knew that during the Hongmeng Awakening Ceremony, too intense emotional fluctuations were harmful and not beneficial to herself, so she subconsciously began to operate the Breathing Method.
Because in her opinion,
Whether it was lightning, Chill, or Hongmeng Magnetized Qi, they were all energy substances, and naturally, they could all be absorbed using the Breathing Method.
Breathing in and out.
Calm and collected.
Absorb, circulate, fuse.
“Collection successful!”
Mingxi was pleasantly surprised for a moment.
Adding the bottle collected when Lan Yue evolved to General-level, Mingxi now had 5 bottles of the power of rules in her hand.
Although it was still half of the minimum 10 bottles required for Little Silver Flower to evolve to Shi-level, the task was heavy and the road was long.
But wasn’t this—
“One step higher, reaching the very top of the sky?”
“You can’t become fat with one bite.”
