Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station-Chapter 477 - 163 Attack_2

The president stared at the small stone for a few moments and recalled, "Is this the pet mouse from Fan Chao’s lab?"

"Yes, I picked it up and kept it with me. After feeding it some spiritual plants, it ended up like this."

The president adjusted his glasses, momentarily obscuring his facial expression.

Previously, he hadn’t noticed that rare and elusive elements like the Ship Spirit, spiritual creatures, and gathering Spiritual Energy Origin were all concentrated in one person, which is considered extremely rare for any psychic.

Chen Ming seemed to possess some special qualities,

which piqued his curiosity.

However, the president did not show it for now and returned to the previous topic, saying, "Didn’t I tell you before that it’s best not to gather a second Spiritual Energy Origin?"

"Because according to the records, if a psychic attempts to gather a second Spiritual Energy Origin while the first one exists,"

"the process of gathering and the final product would severely affect the psychic."

"Minor effects would significantly deplete the psychic’s spiritual power."

"More severe effects would cause a mental collapse."

Chen Ming asked, "Is it because the psychic’s spiritual power is linked with the gathered Spiritual Energy Origin? Would a second one affect the psychic’s spiritual power?"

"That’s correct."

"Therefore, if you want to gather a second Spiritual Energy Origin, you must disperse the first one."

"It’s important to note that transforming the gathered Spiritual Energy Origin into a Spiritual Stone doesn’t count as dispersing, nor does absorption by other things."

"Only when the spiritual energy genuinely disperses into the environment, severing the link with your spiritual power, does it count as complete dispersion."

"So, gathering a second Spiritual Energy Origin is practically meaningless."

"But your case is somewhat more special, because your gathering of Spiritual Energy Origin wasn’t done by you."

"Instead, your Ship Spirit somehow transformed the aberrant flesh gathered by dimensional infection into a Spiritual Energy Origin."

"Therefore, whether gathering a second Spiritual Energy Origin affects you mentally or not cannot be determined, and you must consider it yourself."

"I won’t give you any advice on this matter, since you’re the first."

"I actually value the uniqueness of the Ship Spirit more now, as from your gathering of Spiritual Energy Origin, it seems it can completely erase dimensional infection."

"I feel that the Ship Spirit might be a way for us to deal with that dimensional invasion, and my next research direction is this."

Chen Ming asked after hearing this, "Do you need my help?"

"No, I’m just letting you know."

"Although psychics with Ship Spirits are few, I do know a few, and I will go to them for help with the research."

The president said this partially due to reasons that made it difficult for them to meet directly and out of concern that Chen Ming might encounter dimensional infections again someday.

With his current reminder, if Chen Ming indeed encounters dimensional infection again, he might be able to rely on the ship to nip the problem in the bud.

Moreover, the Empire only has two people experienced with dimensional infections, or rather survivors, so looking out for each other isn’t a problem.

With a tone filled with sincere gratitude, the president said, "Honestly, meeting you might have already disrupted your plans; I’d be embarrassed to trouble you more."

"What you said has already helped me a lot."

"I’ve been studying that dimension."

"But that dimension cannot initiate contact, as you know."

"So all this time, I’ve only been able to study what they’ve left behind, making substantial progress very difficult."

"However, with what you said, I’ve successfully completed some test hypotheses over the past two days."

"Although the progress is still not ideal compared to before, some progress is still progress, and I must thank you."

"We can’t meet, but we can continue to stay in contact."

"If you encounter any dimensional infections or have questions about dimensions and cosmic spaces, feel free to reach out to me."

"Moreover, I look forward to the Association conducting a systematic examination of your spiritual energy once it’s developed to its full potential."

This ended the communication between Chen Ming and the president.

After a brief conversation with the president, the boss ended the communication directly.

Chen Ming, standing up beside him, asked, "Is that all?"

"Yes, that’s all."

Chen Ming nodded and said, "I think it’s about time I head out too."

"In such a rush? Is it because of that feeling you mentioned?"

"Yes."

Over the past two days, especially yesterday, Chen Ming had been actively speeding up his work at the expense of his rest time.

The reason was that over these past few days, he seemed to sense a hint of danger.

The whole Space Station had it, yet also didn’t have it.

Because Chen Ming only felt a slight danger, but he couldn’t pinpoint its exact source.

Perhaps the range of danger was broad, but it didn’t pose a lethal threat to him.

This was also why he previously asked Bai Quan about the situation in the Battle Zone.

Only the Battle Zone had the capability to pose a threat to him.

So far, this sensation was becoming more pronounced and pressing.

Yet the source remained indeterminate for Chen Ming.

The boss added, "I haven’t found any issues on my side either, even with access to the management bureau’s database. After all, the Pirate Space Station has too much foot traffic, making it impossible to check everyone."

"So I have to leave."

Chen Ming did not feel an imminent lethal danger, so he wasn’t too worried about his subsequent arrangements for the Battle Zone, but he still planned to leave earlier.
