Chapter 285 - 169: Soul Stone, Soul Core_2
Regarding these resources from the Soul Spirit Clan and Divine Soul Type, Song Chi had already garnered a very intuitive understanding. Merely by killing two Second Rank members of the Soul Spirit Clan, he easily accrued more than 2,500 merit points. Such a great opportunity was naturally not to be missed.
Of course, the key lay in remotely controlling Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines, which allowed him to do as he pleased, without the need to worry about his own safety.
More than ten hours later, just before the duration of the Brainwave Remote Control System was about to expire, Song Chi casually left the assembly base located inside the hill.
By the time he reached the entrance of the base, a Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurine that had rushed back from a thousand miles away using its Void Flash ability appeared out of the void, handing over a small parcel in the process.
Contained within the parcel were nothing else but thousands of Soul Stones and more than a dozen First and Second Rank Soul Cores.
These were the entire harvest of the four Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines over those ten-plus hours.
After counting them briefly, the corners of Song Chi’s mouth lifted in a slight smile.
Excluding those two initial Second Rank Soul Spirits, in the duration of this operation of the Brainwave Remote Control System, the four Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines had collectively brought him a bounty worth over 8,000 Merit Points.
And this was just the result of one day. With 8,000 points in a day, that’s 80,000 in ten days; if you exclude the Golden Merit Points, 40 days would be equivalent to the ability to exchange for a Third Rank Level Thorned Flying Dragon. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Thinking this, Song Chi was filled with motivation.
Of course, that’s just the arithmetic of it. Whether he would actually turn these gains over to the clan was not necessarily a given, considering he needed them himself.
...
Just like that, time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
During this period, Song Chi’s tasks were nothing more than the routine patrolling while controlling the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines with the "Brainwave Remote Control System" and the "Fixed-Point Launch Pad" to hunt Soul Spirits within the Soul Nation controlled area, continuously gathering resources like the Soul Cores and Soul Stones.
After the duration of the Brainwave Remote Control System part ended, he would spend the remaining time cultivating the Guidance Technique and resting.
The "Brainwave Remote Control System" part at level 25 had a duration of 15 hours, and with the remaining 9 hours, no matter how he allocated his time, it wasn’t enough to perfectly complete both tasks.
After all, just cultivating the Spectral Energy Guidance Technique would normally take around ten hours a day. In the end, he could only reduce his daily rest time to 4 hours, spending the remaining 5 hours on cultivating the Spectral Energy Guidance Technique.
As for Visualization of the Engraving Map, he hadn’t yet tried to assist his cultivation with Soul Stones and Soul Cores and was unaware if they would be effective for him, who had already reached the peak of the First Stage of the Ordinary Thought State.
In this half-month, the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines had continuously provided him with tens of thousands of Soul Stones and hundreds of First and Second Rank Soul Cores, even including two Third Rank Soul Cores.
The total value exceeded 60,000 Merit Points.
The reason for not reaching the anticipated higher value was firstly because it was not every day that suitable Soul Spirits would be encountered. On occasion, when large troops of Soul Spirits were encountered, nearing ten Third Rank members, Song Chi naturally didn’t dare let the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines take action.
Secondly, there were two instances where, after a successful haul, the return of the spoils was met with accidents en route, resulting in a total loss of the day’s gains.
...
Inside the mountain base, after finishing his patrol duties, Song Chi just returned to his cave when in the next second, he completely concentrated his spiritual essence into the perspective of the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines thousands of miles away.
The four Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines were currently located in the shaded side of a hill more than 3,000 miles away from the base.
Under Song Chi’s command, the four Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines didn’t wander around to hunt for any First or Second Rank Soul Spirits. Instead, they had already been waiting in the shaded area of this hill for over four hours.
The reason for this was that Song Chi had noticed something unusual in this location. Four hours earlier, two Third Rank Soul Spirits who had remained in sight suddenly vanished without a trace, which piqued Song Chi’s interest significantly.
There’s something fishy about an aberration, and he firmly believed in this saying.
However curious he was, he still didn’t dare let the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines get too close to investigate.
After all, they were two Third Rank Peak Soul Spirits with the support of source laws. Although the Third Rank Strength Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines would likely escape unscathed if indeed discovered, Song Chi was worried about stirring the grass and startling the snake.
If there truly was something valuable hidden here, rashly stirring up trouble was definitely the most foolish action, as it would certainly alert the nearby Soul Spirits.
This area was under their control, and if he were to be discovered, not only would there no longer be a chance to explore the mystery, but they would have to wait for his clan members to push the frontline here.
But that brings up a key point. Once the Song family members entered the scene, what would Song Chi get? He feared that even getting a sip of the soup would be a favor.
Having thought through all the potential gains and risks, Song Chi became even more composed, quietly waiting.
Yet, ten hours later, the two Third Rank Soul Spirits still hadn’t reappeared.
Suppressing the urge in his heart, Song Chi still refrained from any other action, simply waiting for the duration of the "Brainwave Remote Control System" to end.
A few minutes later, the four Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines hiding in the shadowy void stared blankly as the Brainwave Beacon attached to the lead figurine lost its effect, and without the Brainwave Beacon, the Void Assassin Clan Soldier Figurines, who were over 3,000 miles away from Song Chi, the Summoner, naturally fell into a stupor.
