Chapter 645: Metal Essence
From Jiang Liushi’s perspective, five level-2 mutant nuclei were not easy to be obtained, and so he wanted to trade them for a fair price.
After the exchange, Jiang Liushi closed the minibus’ doors immediately. Then, he returned to his bedroom to absorb the five nuclei, which he estimated should be enough for now. Unexpectedly, this time, it wasn’t Li Yuxin or Ran Xiyu that followed him back to the bedroom but Xiang Xuehai. Actually, the three girls had reached a consensus. Li Yuxin and Ran Xiyu would take care of Jiang Liushi together, while Xiang Xuehai would so alone.
As soon as the bedroom door closed, Jiang Liushi sat up on his bed with a mutant nucleus in his hands. Suddenly, Xiang Xuehai hugged him, and he could completely feel her hot and perfect figure. She was an enthusiastic woman, compared to the more reserved Ran Xiyu and Li Yuxin.
“Oh, Xiangxiang, I need to evolve… You’re hugging me so tight, that I can’t even breathe.”
“Hehe, I know. Let’s head to the bathroom then to continue with your evolution. Otherwise, the sheets and clothes will get dirty,” said Xiang Xuehai and then ran to the bathroom to fill the bathtub with hot water.
As Jiang Liushi entered the bathroom, he was utterly shocked. Xiang Xuehai had removed her clothes, only wearing a bikini. The lace-up swimsuit fit perfectly on Xiang Xuehai’s stunning body.
“Xiangxiang, you…”
“Oh, it’s more convenient to help you bathe. As for the swimsuit, I found it in a swimsuit shop while we were traveling,” explained Xiang Xuehai.
Jiang Liushi wryly smiled. In his mind, Xiang Xuehai was very open-minded. In many cases, Li Yuxin and Ran Xiyu didn’t feel at ease, but Xiang Xuehai did…
For several days, Jiang Liushi stayed in his bedroom with Xiang Xuehai until his evolution was complete. He felt quite cool and happy during those days.
“Brother, all the materials have been gathered. Have you finished with your evolution?” shouted Jiang Zhuying from outside. Actually, she intentionally stressed the word ‘evolution’.
Jiang Liushi coughed in embarrassed, and after a while, they exited his bedroom.
“Let’s go. We need to leave this place,” ordered Jiang Liushi. Meanwhile, Ying stored all the materials in the storage space.
Truth be told, ever since Jiang Liushi acquired the black cube, the storage space expanded to a pointed that was several times bigger than the whole tour bus.
During the past few days, Jiang Zhuying bought lots of food and dry vegetables, as well as water from the base. Moreover, she also hunted two mutant beasts. In other words, the food stored in the tour bus could last them for about three years.
After making all the necessary preparations, Jiang Liushi decided to upgrade the MCV. It was actually an exciting moment for him. He really looked forward to seeing the MCV’s third form.
…
After driving around from some time, they reached a mountain area at the outskirts of Chukyo Base. It was originally a village, but after the virus outbreak, nobody lived there anymore. Jiang Liushi decided to upgrade the MCV there as it was a relatively safe area. Although Angelica had acquired many materials for them, they could only provide the necessary energy for meeting the upgrade’s criteria; the metals stored in the black cube were the ones that really mattered.
‘After scanning the storage space, Origin Alloy was detected. Its fit rate is about 60%. Its absorption will open the third form of the MCV. Should it be absorbed or not?’ transmitted Starseed.
Jiang Liushi was surprised as it was the first time the so-called fit rate was even mentioned. ‘60%? Why not 100%’ wondered Jiang Liushi in confusion.
In the end, he chose to absorb it. However, in the next instant, Starseed’s cold voice sounded again in his mind, ‘Warning! The Origin Alloy lack Metal Essence. If it’s forcibly absorbed, the MCV’s third form will be incomplete. The estimated energy loss of the alloy is 80%.’
“What?” Jiang Liushi was stunned. ‘What’s that? Metal Essence?’
Fortunately, Starseed transmitted detailed information about it. Jiang Liushi was yet again shocked. According to Starseed’s explanation, Metal Essence was a living organism formed from metal, and it could change its shape. That’s why the spaceship could change its form if needed at any time. Moreover, the alloy used to build the spaceship was produced by the same metal mine. That mine had a core, which was called Metal Essence. It could be regarded as the spiritual body of all metals.
Although Jiang Liushi had obtained the black cube, he didn’t possess Metal Essence, which was the most important component. How could Jiang Liushi accept something like that?
Jiang Liushi pondered over it carefully, and he finally decided to go to the relic the lost civilization left behind and look for it. He believed that since the black cube was discovered there, it was very likely for the original metal essence to still be there. It was unlikely that anyone else had discovered it.
‘Fortunately, I already know the relic’s location thanks to Shen Kui. Let’s take a trip there,’ said Jiang Liushi to himself.
According to Shen Kui, the relic was located in the southeast of Japan, to be exact, on an uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean.
There were no airports or docks nearby. Moreover, the island was covered with reefs. Before doomsday, the members of the Genesis had reached it with the help of helicopters. Of course, these small difficulties were nothing for Jiang Liushi’s MCV. Just on that night, Jiang Liushi drove his tour bus to the east coast of Japan and headed for that secret island in the missile boat form.
