Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station-Chapter 467 - 160: Special Person_4

"Spiritual stones can be used to influence enemies or to provide boosts to yourself, depending on their nature."

"If you can find more spiritual stones, it would be best to choose the ones that suit you and then apply them."

"Generally, I think you’re better off with spiritual stones that enhance yourself. Of course, you can also choose stones with negative effects for self-defense; it’s your weapon, your choice."

"Anyway, it’s not impossible to dismantle them if you find better ones."

Chen Ming listened quietly. After digesting all this information, he asked, "Does this compression have any negative impact?"

"Yes."

"What is it?"

"It’s hard to find if the spiritual stones are too small and get lost."

"..."

The boss chuckled and said, "Just kidding. Compressing the spiritual stones has no effects other than consuming a bit of your spiritual power."

"If there were any side effects, I’d definitely tell you early on, right? I wouldn’t do this to my own stones either."

Chen Ming nodded and said, "There’s one more issue, Bai Quan registered me on the Spiritual Ability Population Census Network."

The boss waved his hand casually and said, "That website isn’t particularly useful. If you’re registered, so be it."

"This site would only matter if you take an official, governmental route; otherwise, just ignore it."

"As long as you’re not anti-human, no one will come looking for you."

Chen Ming silently crossed off a line in his mental notepad, then said to the boss, "There’s one last thing."

"It’s about the supply of materials you mentioned earlier. I need to confirm the actual method with you."

Chen Ming had already discussed the needed materials with the boss before; the transport method was also specified to rely on himself.

However, long-distance, large-scale material transport must meet certain conditions to proceed.

Chen Ming’s spiritual power is not spatial teleportation.

Though it has a similar effect, it actually uses transformation to indirectly transport materials over long distances this way.

Therefore, Chen Ming needs blueprints for some kind of object that can attach a large amount of material to be transported without significantly affecting the nature of the materials.

And during material transport, Chen Ming needs to gather the materials into the mechanical equipment he controls.

Only then can he influence these materials.

For example, the warehouse of the Supreme Point spaceship or some warehouse on the Pirate Space Station.

The Pirate Space Station itself is a giant piece of machinery, part of which Chen Ming naturally can control.

Of course, Chen Ming hasn’t done this yet, after all, doing so would practically be stealing and slapping the company in the face.

Chen Ming doesn’t plan to completely break ties with the company, so this certainly can’t be done.

But large-scale material transport cannot be done without controlled mechanical equipment.

A cruiser-level spaceship can’t be used just as Chen Ming’s dedicated storage point either.

So even though most of the matters have been pre-discussed, it’s best to ask the boss about such crucial issues.

Chen Ming briefly explained the specific situation.

Upon learning that his spiritual power was not limited to the spaceship, the boss was clearly surprised, and he seemed very pleased with Chen Ming’s progress.

After considering for a moment, he said, "This is easy to handle. Over at my colony, I can give you a few warehouses to control, making it convenient to concentrate the materials during transport."

"In the early development stage, remember to stay in regular contact with me, letting me know how things are going on your end. If any problems arise, I can help remedy them, and any missing materials can be dispatched to you immediately."

"If you encounter anything interesting later, feel free to let me know. The universe is vast, and once you’re out there, you’re bound to experience things that you could never encounter in an entire lifetime within the Empire."

Chen Ming quickly agreed, "Sure, I definitely will, and I also need to regularly provide data returns from the Supreme Point."

"Oh right, you mentioning it reminded me—I’ll send you the contact information for the new guy; his name is Wang Qian."

Chen Ming noted down Wang Qian, a former Speed Particle Technology researcher, now a Psychic and spaceship designer with the Spiritual Ability Association, in his contacts.

He then put away the terminal.

Actually, he would definitely keep in touch even if the boss hadn’t mentioned it.

Besides the reason he just mentioned about returning data, there are actually other reasons.

Chen Ming still clearly remembers the half-year lonely journey of interstellar travel using engines when hyperspace was unavailable.

It was truly a deadly trip.

So Chen Ming knows he must maintain contact with others, or else his mental state would definitely become problematic.

Even with those Dusk entities accompanying him, it’s the same.

After all, they are not humans.

So even if the colony develops in the future, his contact with people must never be severed.
