I Am Also An Extraordinary Creature-Chapter 1384 - 985: Meteorite... Resistance?

Crunch——

The sound of continuous cracking arose, and Zheng Yichen saw cracks appear on the meteorite’s crystal, emitting a large amount of ’smoke’ from the fissures.

The crystal began to dissolve rapidly as if melting. Seeing this, Zheng Yichen immediately sped up, collecting as many crystals as he could.

This meteorite should bring a special influence to this world, but that doesn’t deter what Zheng Yichen intends to do. Seizing the chance before the crystal completely dissolves, he packed up everything he could collect.

After all, they had saved so many creatures in this world; who would object to collecting a little interest?

"That’s enough." Observing the meteorite’s perforated surface, Zheng Yichen tapped it with his hand, hearing a crisp sound due to the high metal content of the meteorite.

The dense holes on the surface made it somewhat unsettling to look at, and after a while, it gave the illusion that something might crawl out from within.

A stream of water flowed into one of the holes, and soon the massive meteorite began spraying water, yet nothing unusual was washed out.

The interior became empty, and only a few crystals were expelled, these crystals did not dissolve and remained intact.

"So what will this kind of crystal do to the planet?"

"Environmental change," said Senluo, gazing at the sky that had turned fiery red compared to the original. "A new power is now in place here, this will impact the organisms of this world."

"Not exactly an upgrade, huh." Zheng Yichen held a piece of crystal, more pure than any washed out from the meteorite’s interior.

The extremely high purity meant these crystals weren’t dissolved by environmental influences.

Lilith analyzed its function, stating that this thing could induce mutation in living beings, giving rise to special abilities based on such mutations.

Meaning powers like superpowers.

However, excessive exposure to radiation would lead to disfigurement.

High-purity crystals do not dissent from dissolving but dissolve quite slowly because of minimal environmental interference.

The piece in Zheng Yichen’s hand might take thousands of years to completely dissolve.

As for the dissipated energy post-dissolution, it is similar to the normal crystal quantity, at most equal to three times that of normal crystals.

For biological mutation effects, it’s useless to Zheng Yichen, as his body is too robust for this to trigger any new mutations.

The crystal could be used well as an energy source, though.

Yet, placed next to ordinary people, it’s akin to carrying a potent nuclear battery—beyond average use, and wider exposure would reveal more worthwhile alternatives.

The energy intensity contained within the crystal makes it quite apt as an explosive?

"By the way, what’s this world actually like?" Zheng Yichen stowed away the crystal.

The commotion here was substantial, and the marks of the meteorite’s impact hadn’t entirely vanished, surely someone would take notice?

But so far, nothing was around, just animals.

"Why not check out Dusk and find out?"

"Hmm... makes sense." Zheng Yichen nodded, first inspecting the entry to this phenomenon to ensure no issues here, then proceeded to this world’s Dusk Territory.

He discovered that the Dusk Territory here was rudimentary, just a simple stone hut with four Dusk nuns.

Their ears were slightly pointed, and their clothes appeared to be made of some kind of hemp-like material, quite basic.

"Uh... seems worse off than the Savage World." Observing the Dusk nuns, Zheng Yichen gained a rough understanding of this world’s situation.

Humans here were still in a very primitive stage, with very few in number, and judging by the Dusk nuns’ characteristics, they appeared different from the typical human race.

Zheng Yichen approached a Dusk nun to inquire, "What was with that meteorite just now?"

"It’s a special resource attracted by this planet itself," the nun replied calmly, showing no curiosity about Zheng Yichen’s arrival.

"So this world is rather unique?" Zheng Yichen looked at the sky, "Could it be an easy target for meteorites?"

Every world has some uniqueness, so even if it’s prone to meteorite strikes, Zheng Yichen would find it intriguing.

"Compared to other worlds, the probability is quite high here."

"Understood." Gaining new insights into this world, Zheng Yichen carried the gathered information back.

Senluo said, "I can try finding other areas of concern."

"Let’s go, and see the people of this world."

Zheng Yichen was also curious about the denizens; if they intercepted the meteorite unremarkably, then what about elsewhere? Though the Dusk nun didn’t mention how many strikes this world endured, the number wouldn’t be few.

This might explain the sparse population of this world.

Occasionally being hit from outer space, who could withstand it?

Finding people wasn’t difficult; soon Zheng Yichen encountered the world’s inhabitants. Like the Dusk nuns, they had slightly pointed ears with some minor mutation traces on their bodies.

Their eye colors were vibrant and varied, often with heterochromatic eyes, and their hair colors were diverse too. If it weren’t for them living in a tribal era, Zheng Yichen might have thought it was straight out of anime.
