Supreme Electromagnetic Tyrant-Chapter 475 - 321 Overload
Chapter 475: Chapter 321 Overload
Hearing Ji Xinghuo say "all," Yan Wenxu was not at all surprised because he had come through the same way.
"List the priorities for me, and I’ll arrange them for you," he said.
"Alright," Ji Xinghuo responded.
Ji Xinghuo marked up the document, ranking Alien Species first, followed by storage expansion artifacts, cultivation support, Star Realm knowledge courses, and weapon equipment.
The rest of the categories were arranged randomly and would depend on the circumstances at the time.
Yan Wenxu took the list and glanced at it, saying, "For Alien Species and storage expansion artifacts, I’ll grant you access. You can log into the database directly. If there are any Alien Species you want, we can transfer them to you right now."
He sat at his desk and operated the computer swiftly.
"There you go, take a look first," he said.
Ji Xinghuo logged into the official website of the Star Realm Department and entered his citizen account information. Suddenly, the interface changed, displaying much more content than before.
Among them were "Alien Species Reserve" and "Storage Expansion Artifacts."
Entering the Alien Species Reserve, the information was clear at a glance—the current inventory had over 1.7 million Alien Species. One could filter by various criteria such as quality, category, professional templates, and value, or conduct a direct search.
Ji Xinghuo casually selected to filter by quality.
Consequently, over 1.7 million Alien Species were displayed by quality.
The number of Transcendent Species was the smallest, only 338, Superior Mutants over 60,000, high-quality Alien Species 540,000, and Basic Alien Species more than 1 million!
In addition, there were several hundred thousand useless Alien Species, merely in stock.
There were no Star-falling Species at all.
With so many Alien Species, most were duplicates; if the duplicates were removed, only over a thousand useful ones were left.
The stock numbers were constantly changing because citizens were continually passing physical fitness tests and claiming Alien Species.
Ji Xinghuo opened the list of Transcendent Species.
Dozens of different Transcendent Species appeared, each with detailed information—morphological images, origin, value, research data, and related professional templates.
All these were the results of many years of research by the Alien Research Department.
He quickly browsed through the Alien Species information when his gaze suddenly paused, a look of joy appearing on his face.
"Overload!" he exclaimed.
The interface displayed that there was only one in the reserve for Overload.
He opened the information on this Species and the first item listed indicated that it was one of the professional templates for the Magnetic Field Madman. Overload was a burst-type Ability that could, in an extremely short time, convert Star Power into electric current, causing the body to overload and burst forth with multiple times the strength and lethality.
Having sought Overload for so long, he finally encountered it.
Ji Xinghuo immediately said, "Minister Yan, I want this Overload."
"You can have it," nodded Yan Wenxu. "I’ll have someone deliver the Alien Species to you right away. Keep looking."
"Alright," Ji Xinghuo continued browsing, changing the filter to "Magnetic Field Madman," displaying three Alien Species: "Rotating Magnetic Field," "Thunderbolt Hand," and "High-frequency Thinking," with the latter two Species having plenty in stock.
But there was only one Rotating Magnetic Field. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Even so, Ji Xinghuo was surprised that the Star Realm Department had a stock of Rotating Magnetic Field, meaning they could cultivate a Magnetic Field Madman.
The Magnetic Field Madman was one of the rarest professions.
It had been nearly three years since Ji Xinghuo became a Magnetic Field Madman, and whether on Earth or in the Star Realm, he had not encountered a second Magnetic Field Madman.
As far as he knew, there were fewer than a hundred Magnetic Field Madmen on Earth, just slightly more than "the masses."
However, there were several Magnetic Field Madmen in the Legendary list.
And a dozen or so in the Ladder Rankings.
On the other hand, although three or four Heavenly Kings on the Heavenly King list possessed the "electricity" Ability, none were Magnetic Field Madmen.
Having finished looking through the reserve of Transcendent Alien Species, other than Overload, there were none others suitable for himself.
Some of the Alien Species, he already possessed.
There were also two or three extremely powerful Transcendent Species, but at a glance, they were incompatible with him, so there was no point in wasting the opportunity.
He looked at Yan Wenxu and asked, "Director Li said that the Star Realm Department gets a ’Titanium Cobalt Dragon Body’ roughly every ten years or so."
"That’s right, the next Titanium Cobalt Dragon Body will be available next year, and it certainly won’t be delayed beyond the end of the year," Yan Wenxu smiled. "However, you’re not the only one who wants the Titanium Cobalt Dragon Body. When the time comes, there might be a competition."
"Who else is interested?" asked Ji Xinghuo.
Yan Wenxu mentioned three names, "Zhu Xiaorong, Sima Hanzhang, Cheng Sheng."
Ji Xinghuo’s face showed no change, but inwardly he thought as much.
All three were renowned figures. Zhu Xiaorong, needless to say, ranked 18th on the Heavenly King list, had taken a dislike to him last night.
Sima Hanzhang, he had also met; the Security Department head, Legendary Second Dan.
The last one, "Cheng Sheng," was not there last night, and he had not yet met him, but this man had a bigger reputation, ranking third on the Legendary list, only just over fifty years old, and was considered to be the top genius Mutant globally in recent decades, rumored to have the potential to advance to Heavenly King within ten years.
Cheng Sheng’s profession was even rarer; he was a Dragon Lord.
He was one of the few on Earth who possessed a True Dragon and spent most of his time at the True Dragon Dynasty, which was why he was not present last night.
Ji Xinghuo thought for a moment, "Minister Yan, if multiple people want the same Alien Species, how will the competition proceed?"
"That will be up to the leader to decide," Yan Wenxu replied. "Rest assured, the method of competition will definitely be fair, and I will notify you when the Alien Species arrives."
Ji Xinghuo nodded.
The Titanium Cobalt Dragon Body was a Star-falling Species, desired by countless people. Being able to compete with just three others for it was considered quite simple.
He didn’t ponder further; after all, there was still at least one more year to wait.
After finishing with the Transcendent Species, he continued browsing the Superior Mutants. There were several tens of times more, and it wasn’t possible to finish looking through them at that moment.
"It’s a pity that I only have the data and can’t actually come into contact with the alien species,"
Ji Xinghuo felt a twinge of regret inside. He wasn’t a professional alien species researcher; his reliance was the Wanxiang Star Pupil. If he could directly touch the alien species, he wouldn’t need any research data at all—just looking at the fusion success rate would suffice, which would be more accurate than any study.
He glanced at Yan Wenxu.
If he suggested wanting to contact the alien species, it would inevitably arouse suspicion, and no excuse would be good enough.
"Maintaining secrecy is still more important," Ji Xinghuo calmed his thoughts, "I’ll think of other ways to approach the alien species later."
After finishing the Alien Species Reserve, he continued to review the catalog of expansion artifacts.
Compared to the enormous number of alien species, the expansion artifacts were pitifully few—just a dozen or so in total.
And most of them were out of stock.
Ji Xinghuo saw many familiar names: Life Spirit Seed, Amber Cat’s Eye, Red Scale Factor, Sky Blue Fruit, Star Tears, Red Emperor Blood Crystal, Heavenly Treasure Diamond, etc. The stocks of the initial few were plentiful and available at any time.
There were over a hundred Sky Blue Fruits, and even the Star Tears numbered around a dozen.
There were also a few expansion artifacts he’d never seen before, but like the Red Emperor Blood Crystal and Heavenly Treasure Diamond, none was in stock.
"Should I take a Star Tear?" Ji Xinghuo pondered.
From Super Mutant to Heavenly King, through these three stages, each evolution allowed for the use of a Star Tear. The production of this kind of expansion artifact was more than he had expected, but in his three years in the Star Realm, he had encountered only one ’Star Tear Celestial’ event.
Seeing Ji Xinghuo linger on the page of Star Tears, Yan Wenxu said, "Like the alien species, if you take a Star Tear, you’ll forfeit an opportunity to choose an alien species."
"Forget it, then."
Ji Xinghuo did not hesitate.
Star Tears could be bought with money, but the three chances to choose an alien species were far more precious.
Every ten days to half a month, Star Tears would be sold on the global market, priced between 300 million to 1 billion Ya Yuan, which he could afford.
"If exclusively rare expansion artifacts arrive, I’ll notify everyone timely," Yan Wenxu said. "However, whether you can get them is not up to me, as everyone is short on expansion artifacts."
"I understand."
Ji Xinghuo expressed his understanding.
Li Hui had mentioned that among the mutants selected for nurturing by the leader, there were still 35 people, and only less than 20 were in the country.
Most of these individuals were Legendary or Heavenly Kings, and the expansion artifacts they could use were extremely rare; the competition was bound to be fierce.
However...
A thought popped into Ji Xinghuo’s mind.
He still had seven Red Emperor Blood Crystals in hand; if he could not compete for an artifact when the time came, he could use the blood crystals for a trade.
At that moment, Yu Lu knocked and entered, placing a small, sleek box on the desk, "Minister, this is the item you had sent over."
"Good, thank you."
After Yu Lu left, Yan Wenxu unlocked the password, handed the box over to Ji Xinghuo, who opened it and took out an alien species encased in a glass container resembling a curled silvery wire, intermittently flashing with electricity.
An alien species information popped up in Ji Xinghuo’s view.
[Alien Species: Overload]
[Grade: Transcendent]
[Fusion Success Rate: 97%]
[Upgradable: Yes]
Looking at the Wanxiang Star Pupil interface, Ji Xinghuo felt delighted.
Indeed, within the professional templates, an ability with a 97% fusion success rate was second only to Static Field and Ether Affinity.
He placed the alien species back into the container, setting it aside, and continued exploring the "Support Cultivation" category.
Support cultivation primarily divided into three methods.
First was the use of potions. The Star Realm Department provided various potions that accelerated the recovery of star power, increased ether energy absorption efficiency, and enhanced ether sensitivity, among others.
The most effective of these potions were comparable to "Refined Ether Solvent."
Second was the use of equipment.
The Star Realm Department had collected and manufactured some equipment that sped up cultivation, all of which were wearable, such as the Ether Medal that came with "Ether Sensitivity," enhancing cultivation efficiency simply by being worn.
The principles and effects of other equipment were similar, but these could only be used in the designated training sites of the Star Realm Department and could not be taken away.
Third was the use of special venues.
Ji Xinghuo’s eyes lit up as he read this, knowing that the Star Realm Department had been investing significant manpower and resources into researching ether energy since its inception, achieving preliminary results last century with the establishment of the "Ether Energy Gathering Room."
The concentration of ether energy inside the Ether Energy Gathering Room was significantly higher than the outside world.
Training there doubled the results with half the effort.
Ji Xinghuo was not unfamiliar with such specialized environments; the Qingkong Forest planted by Sister Ren was one such example.
The principle of the Star Realm Department’s Ether Energy Gathering Room was different, requiring massive amounts of electricity to maintain the equipment, in addition to consuming ether crystals.
In fact, this was one of the most important uses of ether crystals.
In the Galaxy and Star Realm, those most powerful civilizations capable of producing the most formidable mutants were specifically those that had mastered the application of ether energy, with one of the key technologies being the use of ether crystals to accelerate cultivation.
In comparison, the Ether Energy Gathering Room of the Star Realm Department, whether in terms of efficiency increase or energy conversion, was quite crude.
But for Earth’s mutants, it was also tremendously valuable.
Potions, equipment, Ether Energy Gathering Room—using these three support methods together could speed up a mutant’s star power cultivation many times over.
Ji Xinghuo promptly said, "Minister Yan, I want to apply to use the Ether Energy Gathering Room."
