Chapter 90.1
Editor: Jodi
A week later, Bai Jing came to check the results.
Eleven silver boxes were neatly arranged on the table, each filled with deep green energy fluid.
Some were almost full, and others barely a third full, however none of them were empty.
This showed that they had been practicing diligently.
Being able to extract energy fluid within just a week—such speed was almost unimaginable for beginner Energy Masters!
Their S level mental power definitely gave them exceptional talent.
Facing their nervous gazes, Bai Jing said with a smile, “Very good, even faster than those from Energy Master aristocratic families.”
“Re-really?”
“But, I only extracted a little—”
“I suddenly feel like I have some worth now.”
…
Hearing Bai Jing’s praise, everyone was visibly excited.
It meant they could create value, they weren’t useless! They could even rival those born into Energy Master aristocratic families!
Bai Jing tested the purities with a detector one by one. They were all Grade 1 energy fluids, with some even reaching mid-grade—quite impressive.
He collected the energy boxes and said to the bright-eyed group, “The standard price for Grade 1 energy fluid is 2,000 starcoins. So based on the amount you’ve extracted, you’ll now receive your starcoins.”
Their light brains let out ‘beep’ sounds, and they looked at their accounts in surprise, only to see that their balances had changed.
They also received notifications about the account changes.
“Dear citizen Wang Qin, your account has received 2,000 starcoins. Please check. Oh my god, I earned 2,000 starcoins!”
“I-I earned 1,000 starcoins!”
“1,500 starcoins. Am I… dreaming??”
“So this is what it means to be an Energy Master.” Someone murmured.
The hall was filled with an air of excitement, everyone’s hearts surging with exhilaration and joy.
2,000 starcoins!
They had worked countless odd jobs, endured cold stares, but had never earned this much money in one go!
What’s more, extracting energy fluid wasn’t that hard for them.
Except for the dizziness when their mental power was nearly exhausted, everything else felt like paradise.
Energy Masters!
If they had been clueless about this profession before and chosen it by chance, now they felt its allure. They had a goal, a dream, and that was—
To become indispensable Energy Masters!
For people from the slums like them, there was no profession more perfect than being an Energy Master.
Once they calmed down, Bai Jing turned to the skinny, tanned man in the center: “Wang Qin, you extracted the most energy fluid this time and earned the most starcoins.
Do you have any insights you want to share with everyone?”
He’d noticed that Wang Qin’s mental power wasn’t the highest among the eleven, yet he had extracted a whole box of energy fluid. Even he was surprised at his speed.
Due to his own special abilities, his experience in extracting energy fluid wasn’t very applicable, so it made much more sense for someone of the same level to share his insights.
Seeing his idol’s encouraging gaze, Wang Qing’s slightly tanned face turned noticeably red. Then after a moment, he said nervously:
“…The first day I used up all my mental power, I was so anxious. I had only slept for three hours before getting up to continue, yet I nearly fainted.”
“Later, I extended the rest period to half a day and found that my mental power recovered fully. So I shortened it by an hour repeatedly, and after reducing three hours, I found the best duration—it’s nine hours.”
“So I timed it carefully, extracting energy every nine hours. Then altogether, I managed to extract this much.”
Bai Jing’s beautiful teal colored eyes carried a hint of a smile:
“Impressive. You figured out the mental power recovery cycle on your own.”
Wang Qing’s face was now beet red, while everyone else looked at him with envy. Getting a compliment from God Yun was a once-in-a-lifetime honor.
Qi Yu glanced at Wang Qing, his pale lips pursing slightly. He, too, wanted to earn Bai Jing’s focused attention and praise.
After answering several more questions, Bai Jing assigned a new task:
“You have two months. I hope you can completely extract all the energy fluids from your Grade 1 jadeites. If successful, you’ll be exempt from the 50,000-starcoin material fee.”
“Yes!”
Everyone was so fired up that they shouted enthusiastically as if on adrenaline.
For their goals, for their dream of becoming Energy Masters, and for their benefactor’s expectations, they were determined to succeed!
Bai Jing placed a luminous white jade stone on the table.
This was a type of jadeite left behind after extracting energy from black jadeite, capable of storing a large amount of mental power. He’d named this stone the ‘Energy Stone’.
Worried that they might overextend their mental power to achieve the task, he added:
“Don’t push yourselves too hard. If you really can’t hold on, try using the mental power from this Energy Stone to balance yourselves out.”
After the crowd dispersed, the teenager finally turned his gaze toward Huang Yue and Qi Yu.
Bai Jing: “Hmm, the content in the chip is extensive. How much have you reviewed?”
Huang Yue hesitated: “About….. less than one-twentieth.”
Qi Yu lowered his gaze: “One-tenth.”
There was a hint of surprise in Bai Jing’s eyes as he looked at him.
This content was something he had compiled from the chip Gu Yuanzhao gave him, with added materials and insights, so even for him, it would take about two months to go through.
Let alone someone who was just starting out.
