The Game of Global Mining-Chapter 364 - 294: The Village’s Elite, Time Reversal (Part 2)
Chun got excited: "Why don’t I just have the village head call all the talents in the village to help repair this together!"
"Alright!"
"Aileen, have Bilenna gather people!"
"Got it."
Although Bilenna could gather people, Chun still had to put on a show in front of Sherry by actively going to greet the upper echelon.
Soon, the village head Malagobi, along with a group of elders, came rushing down, and everyone was amazed upon seeing the hand-held light ball: "So this is what Elder Chun brought back from Gem City!"
Holy Shit, the whole village... knows how badass I am now, right?
Chun hurriedly asked, "Can everyone fix it?"
The village head said excitedly, "Call down Hakimi, Harashao, and the others too."
Oh, it means the village really has talented people!
Before long, a group of middle-aged people carrying boxes and jars arrived, and after a brief discussion, they started working. All sorts of boxes were opened, revealing a heap of tool drawers, even a work platform resembling a car jack. The jars connected with each other to form a makeshift laboratory, and various additives were mixed, then various glowing instruments were hung on the workbench, illuminating the underground pit like an operating room...
Chun was stunned by the appearance of these instruments. Though they looked old, the level of sci-fi cyber exceeded that of the jewelry processing room on the second floor of Black Iron City, and could even rival the cockpit of Grandpa Pirate’s ship!
Chun asked in shock, "Village head, is our village this high-tech?"
The village head, both proud and mysterious, replied, "These were passed down from our great-grandparents during the era of great exploration. Back then, it was top-end equipment of the Golden Empire, and even after over a hundred years, it might not be much behind today’s Black Iron City."
You’re being modest! Most of today’s Black Iron City is probably a stripped-down version of the technology.
Chun recalled something: "Since everyone is here, let’s first try this Five-Colored Stone... face cream on my face?"
Everyone paused: "The one same as the Gem Flower?"
Holy Shit! Chun felt helpless: "Yes!"
The village head showed interest: "I’ll try it first!"
Is this like a celebrity endorsement effect?
Chun said to Sherry, "No need to be too meticulous, everyone is in a hurry."
Sherry took out the gemstone box: "Got it!"
So in the midst of the busy work, everyone on the scene ended up with colorful faces, and Sherry also applied a bit on herself.
Only then did Chun feel relieved. Especially Sherry, how could she look ugly? She actually looked a bit cute.
Then, the preparations for repairs were almost finished. They first poured an unknown liquid into the light ball, followed by various light groups, which grew larger, and the broken spaceship inside also expanded...
Chun was completely bewildered; this where his Master-level Mechanician skills were enough to tinker with a simple progress bar, now this was equivalent to source program repair!
Until the spaceship inside the light group became as large as before, the village head invited everyone into the light group, where it revealed the damaged, disfigured, and pitifully shattered crystal stone machinery.
Chun couldn’t believe this could still be repaired. Weld the crystal stone together with electricity? But the instruments inside were smashed to bits as well.
But the crowd’s expressions didn’t show any difficulty; they picked up the broken crystal stones with great excitement!
Chun picked one up too—System Prompt: Your Expert Jeweler and Master-level Mining Technique have discovered an unknown crystal stone.
High-end!
The village head sighed: "Elder Chun, if it were something else, we might have a hard time, but encountering this spatial attribute crystal stone, not only can we repair it, we can upgrade it too!"
Sherry was shocked: "The book says spatial attribute crystal stones are called Divine Stones!"
The village head laughed: "Yes, the repair method for this kind of divine artifact only has one, time reversal! Let’s get started."
Holy Shit, time reversal? Just hearing the name sounds high-end!
The next moment, the outside machine started, and a mass of golden-black light was injected, automatically covering the crystal stone spaceship, plating it with a layer of golden-black brilliance.
Aileen was shocked: "It’s the glow of magic gold!"
Could it be repaired with magic gold? It turns out the village head has magic gold; he’s so generous to help me!?
Then the scene started to blur and shift, every time it changed, the spaceship altered its form, continually assembling and restoring visibly.
Finally, with a flash of black light, the spaceship was fully restored to its original gold-black appearance! Even the runes I carved "wider wind" were still there.
The village head smiled with satisfaction: "It’s repaired, now faster, lighter, sturdier, and with a stronger spatial attribute!"
Chun wasn’t interested in these details anymore and directly asked the key point: "Can I learn this time reversal?"
The village head laughed: "Of course you can learn it. It’s actually the same principle as the Church’s Resurrection Technique. Many divine artifacts are repaired using time reversal, though it does require some materials."
Chun confirmed: "By materials, you mean this golden-black light?"
The village head coughed: "It can also be all sorts of aged antiques, which when smashed, produce the same light."
A truly huge discovery!
Chun asked in shock: "So antiques have this use?"
The village head said: "Antiques contain temporal and spatial energy, the more famous the antique, the better the reversal effect."
Chun kept asking: "If I have a bottle of a hundred-year-old wine. Does that count?"
The village head said: "It counts! But it must be a valuable, well-known fine wine to be considered an antique."
Chun then asked: "Does a hundred-year-old Tapioca Burn count as fine wine?"
The village head laughed: "Elder Chun, an antique is valuable not because it’s been around for a long time, but because it was valuable when it was born. Common household ceramics, even if passed down for hundreds of years, won’t be worth anything, nor count as antiques."
Holy Shit? So I have 300 boxes, oh no, I promised Old Drunkard 100 boxes, but I still have 200 boxes of wine, and it’d be a waste to drink them!
Chun asked again: "If this Tapioca Burn has a very interesting story, does it count as an antique?"
"That depends on the Treasure Identification Technique. The higher the treasure identification skill, the better it can tell a story."
I see! I just happen to have the Treasure Identification Book from Maria and a Basic Treasure Identification Technique!
The village head then said: "The space where the Tree God resides is an Alternate Space; this divine artifact can fly inside, so I ask Elder Chun to continue scouting when free to see if there are other Alternate Spaces."
——System Prompt: You have obtained the village head’s merit task ’Explore the Alternate Space around the village’
Oh~~ this task really suits me! Just right to fly around in the ship and comprehend and upgrade the Spatial Technique.
Chun got excited: "I’m free right now, I will go explore immediately."
The village head smiled: "Great, we’ll pack up then."
Chun immediately asked Sherry: "Dear, shall we go together?"
Sherry was eager: "Sure!"
The crowd returned to the outside of the light group, which shrunk back into a light ball in the palm, now shining with a metallic luster, completely unlike the previous dimness.
Looking at the spaceship attributes, there’s only one line: Capable of flying and exploring spatial energy in Alternate Spaces.
This attribute is just like the Magic Stone before, the fewer words, the more badass it is. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
So Chun and Sherry once more arrived at the lowest level of the Tree God space, summoned the spaceship again, and boarded.
Aileen laughed: "This is the time to take the opportunity to deepen your relationship with your Sherry?"
Chun said in surprise: "What do you mean?"
Aileen said with displeasure: "There’s only one seat, and she’s not at Eve’s mana level to cast spells on a rolling spaceship."
Ah, sharing my wheelchair again! Aileen, I think you’re...
Chun had no choice but to say to Sherry: "Dear, standing will be very dangerous once we fly up there, why don’t you... sit with me?"
Sherry didn’t refuse: "Alright!"
Aileen laughed loudly: "No wonder your Sherry is so obedient!"
Sitting down, Chun truly—truly remembered Jiang’s famous saying: The co-pilot seat changed person again...
In any case, let’s drive and take off!
——System Prompt: Your Outstanding Wisdom, Grandmaster-level Module Combination integrated with your Grandmaster Sailing Technique, Master-level Mechanician, Basic Magic Shipbuilding Technique, with team member Sherry’s Expert-level Module Combination, and Intermediate Magic Shipbuilding Technique, has successfully maneuvered the divine artifact "Space Explorer," granting it a sailing speed bonus.
Hey!
It even integrated Sherry’s skills for team driving!
