Free Web NovelChapter 32: Chapter 32: Energy Gem (Purple)
Ye Yun took the iron box, and a purple gemstone appeared before his eyes.
[Energy Gem (Purple)]
[Description: A gemstone containing immense energy.]
????
Ye Yun sucked in a sharp breath.
’Whoa, a purple item?!’
’Is Bena really my lucky star?’
His first exploration brought back a Repair Robot blueprint, and now he follows it up with a purple-grade item.
The only problem was, he had no idea what this thing was used for.
’If it had been a purple weapon or piece of armor, that would’ve been even better.’
Ye Yun suppressed his greed.
He said to Bena with a wide smile:
"This is indeed a good item."
"It’s an energy gem. Unfortunately, there’s no way to use it at the moment." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"How about... you take it back for now?"
Bena quickly waved his hands.
"As long as it’s a good item, that’s all that matters."
"Even if you gave the gem to me, Administrator, I wouldn’t know what to do with it. Just think of it as a gift from me."
Ye Yun was just being polite. Seeing that Bena knew how to play along, he nodded in satisfaction.
"Alright, I’ll accept it."
"Rest for a bit. Once Number 1 and Number 2 are fully repaired, you can go out exploring with them again."
Bena naturally had no objections to this arrangement.
Ye Yun fiddled with the gem for a while but couldn’t figure anything out, so he stopped bothering with it and put it directly back into the warehouse.
He glanced at Number 1, who was currently being repaired.
Name: Number 1
Strength: 3
Perception: 3
Endurance: 3
Charisma: 3
Intelligence: 3
Agility: 3
Luck: 3
Durability: 92% [Repairing]
Power: 98%
The repair cost was relatively low. 1% durability only required one random white component and 1 point of power. The repair speed was also fast, restoring 1% durability per minute.
He opened the private chat room.
Ye Yun:
[During the previous mutated cockroach attack, I assume quite a few of your bionoids sustained considerable damage, right?]
As soon as he said this, the chat room was instantly flooded with people complaining about their misfortunes.
[My bionoid’s durability is down to 75%!]
[You still have 75%? Mine’s only at 61%!]
...
Of course, there was no shortage of clever people in the chat room.
[Why is Brother Ye suddenly asking about this?]
[Could it be? Did Brother Ye find a way to repair them?]
...
Ye Yun didn’t keep them in suspense.
Ye Yun:
[I just obtained the blueprint for this: [Repair Robot (White)].]
[Once the repair bay is built, you can send your bionoids in to be repaired.]
[I can produce one every 10 minutes. If you need one, send me a private message.]
Naturally, no one could refuse such a good offer. In just a few moments, Ye Yun had received private messages from everyone.
After closing the private chat room, he opened the Exchange to see if any good items had appeared recently.
Soon, a green item flashed past.
Ye Yun quickly stopped scrolling.
[Fine Hunting Spear (Green)]
[Attack: 10-18]
[Attack Speed: Fast]
[Attack Range: Melee]
[Required Stats: Strength 8, Agility 6]
’A great item. The required stats are high, but it’s a perfect fit for Bena.’
He glanced at the price: 240 white components. It was a little expensive, but it was a green weapon, after all, which was still a rare commodity on the Exchange.
As his most capable assistant, Bena had outstanding Strength and Agility stats. This spear would undoubtedly take his combat prowess to the next level.
Considering Bena’s performance, Ye Yun bought it without much hesitation.
Ye Yun quickly completed the transaction, adding the [Fine Hunting Spear (Green)] to his inventory.
He turned and walked toward the resting Bena, ready to give him the surprise.
"Bena, come here for a second."
Ye Yun’s voice interrupted Bena’s rest.
Bena immediately stood up, walked briskly to Ye Yun, and asked respectfully, "Administrator, what are your orders?" fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
Ye Yun smiled slightly and handed the spear to Bena.
"I got this for you. See how it feels."
Bena took the spear, a flash of surprise in his eyes.
The spear in his hands looked unremarkable, but he could feel a powerful energy emanating from it.
"Administrator, what’s the deal with this spear?"
"Why do I feel like it’s even more powerful than a gun?"
Bena was great in every way, except that he sometimes acted like a curious child, always asking questions about everything.
Ye Yun thought for a moment before explaining:
"It’s a piece of pre-Cataclysm technology."
"Pre-Cataclysm technology?" Bena repeated Ye Yun’s words, a thoughtful look in his eyes.
Everyone knew about the Cataclysm. It was the reason the planet had become this way.
Ye Yun reminded him:
"It might look like an ordinary spear, but its power is immense. You’ll understand once you experience it in actual combat."
Bena didn’t doubt him and nodded seriously.
"Understood."
While they were talking, the durability of Number 1 and Number 2 was fully restored.
Ye Yun issued a new exploration mission to the three of them.
[Assessment Type: External Exploration]
[Assessing Mission Risk]
[Current Exploration: 6-Hour Random Exploration]
[Assessment: White Item Probability 85%, Green Item Probability 13.5%, Blue Item Probability: 1.495%, Purple Item Probability: 0.005%, Risk Factor: 0.00001%]
At first, Ye Yun had planned to schedule a 4-hour exploration, but after seeing the potential rewards of a 6-hour exploration, he decisively changed his plan.
The exploration time increased by only two hours, yet the probability of finding a green item had unexpectedly shot up to 13.5%, and the chance of getting a blue item was nearly 1.5%!
He discovered that after Bena joined the exploration team, not only did the risk factor drop significantly, but the probability of acquiring high-grade items also increased.
Having received their new mission, Bena didn’t linger. He said goodbye to Ye Yun and Lina and hurriedly left the shelter.
...
A fierce wind swept past, carrying vast swathes of yellow sand up into the sky.
From time to time, a few stones swept up into the air would fall and strike the rusted scrap metal, creating a DING-DONG-CLANG sound.
Bena and the two bionoids hid quietly behind a broken wall, waiting for the gale to subside.
After the Cataclysm, the planet’s weather had become abnormally extreme.
However, as a former member of a Scavenger Team, Bena was very familiar with this kind of weather.
’It may look like a sandstorm is blotting out the sky right now, but once this wind dies down, it’ll be perfectly clear again.’
Sure enough, after ten-odd minutes, the fierce wind suddenly vanished.
It was as if someone had pressed a pause button. Without the wind, the sky, which had been blanketed in yellow sand, cleared up in just a few short minutes, revealing an azure expanse.
Sunlight once again scattered across the land, bringing a hint of warmth to the desolate earth.
Bena let out a breath of relief. He was about to stand up and pat the thick layer of yellow dust off his body, but his movement froze abruptly.
He quickly whispered a warning to Number 1 and Number 2:
"Don’t move. Be careful!"
