?Chapter 1187: 371. Technical Challenge_2


    “I need to think of a good excuse for Professor Erica to loan me her energy conversion array, otherwise she might connect the stars that appear in the future with me,” Nnd Lee reflected.


    In deep thought, Nnd silently uttered, “Enter the Silent Yard.”


    Consciousness ascended, passing through the darkness and into the stars shrouded in purple mist.


    In the blink of an eye, Nnd found himself in the sub-dimensional ne managed by Professor Erica.


    Looking around, his gaze swept over the indigo forest, turning thoughtful.


    During his time with the Assassin Angel, he had inquired about the core of the ne behind “Silent Maiden.” <div>


    ...


    The Assassin Angel could not answer this question, only positing several guesses, none of which were certain.


    This was normal.


    Even the renowned Supreme Star Pce, inparison to the ancient history of the universe, was but a drop in the ocean.


    There are many ne cores wandering through the universe, and the Assassin Angel only knew those who hade into contact with the Supreme Star Pce, not all of them.


    However, who the core behind “Silent Maiden” was no longer the focus. The Assassin Angel didn’t care, so naturally, Nnd didn’t either.


    There would always be a chance to find out in the future.


    Nnd put aside his doubts for now and walked toward Professor Erica’s study room.


    About an hourter, Nnd’s consciousness left the Silent Yard and returned to Ind 33.


    He opened his eyes in the chair, took pen and paper and began sketching, making calctions, all the while pondering:


    “Professor Erica agreed to loan me fifteen Level 3 energy conversion arrays. Conservatively estimated, these fifteen arrays can convert over 360,000 points of soul energy per day, providing me with a thousand times the total amount of soul energy in magic energy.


    “The conversion rate of 360,000 points of soul energy per day sounds fast, but it’s just an output of 3.6 billion points of magic energy per day, which is still a drop in the bucketpared to the three hundred billion points needed to build the sub-dimensional ne.”


    Nnd scratched his head.


    The advantage of the conversion array is that it saves the wizard’s energy points, without the need for manual spellcasting.


    Yet, this conversion efficiency is lower than if he were to convert the soul energy manually…


    But right now, what Nndcked was not soul energy, but time!


    He needed to use the time to make Mechanos and couldn’t afford to waste it on energy conversion work that could be delegated to arrays.


    “It seems there’s no other way. I still need to use ‘Mold Energy Art’ and create a spell simr to ‘Elemental Reactor Summoning Technique.’ That’s the only way to ensure efficiency without wasting soul energy.”


    Nnd stroked his chin and decided to head underground to toil and break through the technical difficulties at hand.


    Just then, Denise Green brought him a te of cut fruit to his study room.


    Denise set the te on the table and nced at the documents before Nnd, speaking while she chewed on a piece of fruit:


    “Do you want me to ask Professor Lamp for help? Professor Lamp has a lot of energy conversion arrays she doesn’t use.”


    Nnd was taken aback:


    “Unused conversion arrays? Is Professor Lamp that wealthy?”


    Denise leaned in, sitting next to Nnd, and said with augh:


    “It’s not that she’s wealthy, it’s just that she often gets invited to join teams exploring magic relics. The wizards in such teamsck neither soul energy nor money. They trade with magic materials and energy conversion arrays as bargaining chips or as remuneration for tasks. Over time, participating in many exploration teams, Professor Lamp has umted many arrays. But we are Resurrection Witches and don’t use non-rebirth magic power, so those regted arrays just pile up there.”


    After hearing this, Nnd contemted, realizing that the logic made sense.


    Resurrection Witches essentially have no offensive capabilities and can only serve as support during explorations.


    Whether in the games of his previous world or in this world now, roles like ‘nanny’ typicallye with a ‘safety’ or what one might call ‘subsidies.’


    From what Denise said, in high-end wizard expeditions, it was customary to give energy conversion arrays to the ‘nanny’ as a subsidy…


    Nnd’s eyes brightened slightly. Given Professor Lamp’s expertise as a ‘nanny,’ she would definitely have many conversion arrays at her side.


    Borrowing arrays from her might indeed work!


    Nnd and Denise discussed, and he had her help negotiate with Professor Lamp.


    Whether it was spending money, offering soul energy, or rebirth magic power, Nnd was willing to ept.


    Denise walked away lightly on her feet, heading to her own study room to contact the professor.


    Nnd went underground to fiddle with spells and make Mechanos.


    The time reached noon that day.


    Denise Green brought good news to Nnd Lee.


    Professor Lamp agreed to lend Nnd the conversion array, and even provided a list for him to choose from.


    Nnd would need to pay a sum of gold coins and Soul Energy as a deposit and also pay rent every six months.


    The rent demanded by Professor Lamp was not gold coins and Soul Energy, but Rebirth Magic Power.


    It was worth noting that Professor Lamp had Level 4 Energy Conversion Arrays, which were rtively high-endmodities, that could convert Soul Energy into all types of Magic Energy except for Breaking Energy.


    For each Level 4 Energy Conversion Array that Nnd rented, he had to bring 4000 points of Rebirth Magic Power to Professor Lamp within six months.


    The more he rented, the more Rebirth Magic Power he’d have to deliverter on.


    As for how much to rent, it depended on how much Rebirth Magic Power Nnd could acquire in six months.


    Nnd pulled up his Personal Panel to check.


    Going to Dark Zone to meddle with the Shadow Death Magic Realm in the City of Exiles brought him about 2000 points of Rebirth Magic Power.


    Destroying their of the Blood Sun Seal Descendants in Union City contributed roughly 4000 points of Rebirth Magic Power.


    Filching Soul Energy from the Undead Cult, Nnd harvested nearly 30,000 points of Rebirth Magic Power.


    Yes, 30,000 points.


    Over 25,000 of these points came from the act of escaping right under the Metal Ancestor Dragon’s nose.


    Clearly, the act of stealing the Gem Box with the help of the Veil of Different Worlds was also considered a life-threatening risk, allowing for a normal harvest of Rebirth Magic Power.


    Of course, the cost of such a haul was that Nnd’s “Hatred Value” had skyrocketed to over ten million points.


    Setting aside the “Hatred Value” for the moment, there was only one thing on Nnd’s mind:


    Could he also harvest Rebirth Magic Power in the future by risking his life in Revival City using the imitation “Veil of Different Worlds”?


    Or even, to steal the Gem Box again and snatch the other batch of 3 billion points of Soul Energy prepared by the Metal Ancestor Dragon?


    Nnd inhaled slightly and came to a decision.


    “Denise, how much Rebirth Magic Power do you have now?”


    Denise closed her eyes and checked her Spiritual Ocean.


    “Hmm… Including the 25,000 points of Rebirth Magic Power I siphoned from you after we returned to Ind 33 yesterday… I now have a total of 37,000 points of Rebirth Magic Power, which is enough for us to rent nine Level 4 Energy Conversion Arrays for half a year.”


    Nnd did some quick calctions and said:


    “Alright. You take my deposit and go find Professor Lamp, rent two each of the rock, wind, and nature series of Level 4 Energy Conversion Arrays.”


    “Okay~ I’ll go right now.”


    Denise took the gold coins and Soul Gems given by Nnd and went to contact the professor in the Study Room.


    The rest of the matter proceeded smoothly.


    Nnd obtained 15 Level 3 Arrays and 6 Level 4 Arrays from the hands of Professor Erica and Professor Lamp, setting up an Energy Conversion Room on the Fourth Underground Level.


    Selena brought Nnd five Level 3 Deep Sea Magic Conversion Arrays in one go.


    As the usage of Deep Sea Magic Power in the construction of Sub-Dimensional nes was small, these five Level 3 Arrays were already sufficient.


    After three days of effort, the Energy Conversion Room on the Fourth Underground Level was essentiallyplete.


    After Nolin took over the operation of the Conversion Room, shepiled urate conversion data.


    Every day, 2.24 million points of Soul Energy would be converted into Magic Energy.


    The daily total output of Magic Energy was 1.88 billion points.


    It was estimated that, after 160 days, the initial construction of the Sub-Dimensional ne requiring 300 billion points of Magic Energy would be ready.


    Just a few more Level 3 Arrays were needed, and this Task objective would be met ahead of schedule, fitting perfectly with the next time to conduct the Ceremony for the “Escape” Core of the ne.


    All set~


    Nnd Lee breathed a sigh of relief.


    Now he could devote himself to the work of developing Mechanos with peace of mind.


    Meanwhile, at the same time Nnd and Nolin were engrossed in the grand undertaking of the Sub-Dimensional ne construction, far away in the Land of Revival, Commander Morster, the Acting Commander of Division Intelligence Unit Two, received a Wizard from the Pure Light Court in his Office Room.
