Chapter 86.3
Editor: Jodi
The more the middle-aged man tested, the more shocked he became. Almost every indicator was reaching the physical limits!
How….. how was this even possible?
His eyes had gone completely blank.
The reason limits were called limits was because they represented the highest values achievable in ideal conditions.
However reality and ideals were usually different—so how could someone achieve this level in reality?
Why?? Because it was impossible!
The Imperial Marshal coughed lightly, then took the test report from his bewildered subordinate.
Then after confirming that it was indeed grade 9 energy fluid, his hands shook with excitement.
Very carefully, yet with swift movements, he placed the three boxes of energy fluid back into his spatial button.
Then his expression softened as he smiled warmly and said, “The military is willing to offer 500 million starcoins for these three boxes of grade 9 energy fluids.”
Five hundred million starcoins! That was about 170 million starcoins per box!
This time, Bai Jing was genuinely shocked.
He had never imagined that grade 9 energy fluids could be worth this much. Compared to this, the 4.99 million starcoin cost was like a drop in the ocean.
Gu Yuanzhao, however, wasn’t overly surprised.
The energy provided by one box of grade 9 energy fluid could power a high-level mecha or space warship for over ten years, and in critical moments, it could even save lives, so it was definitely worth the price.
He didn’t hesitate for a moment. “Deal.”
The old man asked as if casually, “What, you’re not going to ask that mysterious Energy Master for their opinion?”
Gu Yuanzhao smiled faintly then glanced at the young man standing beside him, his voice soft. “Ah Jing, what do you think?”
Bai Jing’s teal colored eyes curved slightly. “En, I’m very satisfied with this price.”
The old man’s eyebrows furrowed again. Was Gu Yuanzhao so infatuated that he’d lost his senses? He told him to ask the Energy Master, but why was he…?!
!!!
His eyes suddenly widened as he stared at Bai Jing. “You—you’re the Gu Conglomerate’s mysterious Energy Master?”
“Yes, Marshal, it’s me.” Bai Jing admitted openly.
It was about to be made public soon anyway, so there was no point in hiding it any longer. The two trusted aides beside him looked at Bai Jing with shock and disbelief. He was the mysterious Energy Master, stronger than even a master-level one?
So young—was he even 20 years old?!
The old man scrutinized Bai Jing for a while, then spoke in the kindest tone he could muster. “Xiao Jing, right? Are you interested in joining the military as a Special Grade Energy Master?
I can give you the rank of colonel, and you’ll have access to all the finest jadeites. Oh, and there are also several S-class mechas in the warehouse—you can choose any of them.”
Bai Jing refused politely, “Thank you, Marshal, but I’ve already signed a contract with the Gu Conglomerate.”
The old man smiled cheerfully, not displaying any of the authority he had earlier. “No problem! You already have military points and still hold the rank of Major, so this would just be an additional title. We won’t force you to stay with the military.”
Then seeing that Bai Jing still seemed hesitant, he added, “How about this—the military will provide you with two top-grade jadeites that weigh no less than two kilograms each month. In return, you just need to provide five boxes of energy fluids above grade 7. Does that sound good?
Of course, your military points will continue to accumulate, at least 10,000 per month. You can use it to exchange for anything you need—mechas, shields, weapons, or you can convert it into starcoins.”
Bai Jing thought for a moment.
Two pieces of top-grade jadeite that weighed over two kilograms……. With his abilities, he could extract at least ten boxes of grade 8 energy fluids from them.
They only needed five boxes, and he could keep the rest. It was a good deal!
But that was only for him.
Other Energy Masters, even considering loss, could only extract about five or six boxes of grade 6 energy fluids at most, which wouldn’t meet the requirement.
As for military points, 10,000 points equaled 1 million starcoins. Other than the ridiculously wealthy military, no other place could offer such good benefits.
“Alright, I agree.”
Bai Jing agreed quickly. Turning down something so beneficial would be foolish.
The Marshal’s smile grew even wider, then he patted the teenager on the shoulder lovingly. Before leaving, he exchanged contact information with Bai Jing.
“If you ever need anything, don’t hesitate to find me. Don’t worry, this old man will be your backing!”
Then leaving those weighty words behind, the three men departed from Proxima Star hurriedly.
That same afternoon, Bai Jing received a spatial button that contained the top-grade jadeite. Inside were a 2.6-kilogram piece of Imperial Green Jadeite of the glass variety and a 2.3-kilogram piece of Violet Eyes (top-grade violet jadeite of the glass variety).
Holding the jadeites, Bai Jing couldn’t help but marvel at the military’s wealth!
On the eve of the auction, while discussions about the mysterious Energy Master were buzzing across Starnet, the Gu Conglomerate’s Auction House suddenly released a short video.
The video was only a few seconds long, and curious people clicked on it.
Only for them to see a slender, jade-like hand placing a silver box filled with rich liquid onto a device for purity testing.
Then the camera zoomed out a bit to reveal a teenager’s exquisitely handsome face and the numbers displayed on the testing instrument: 90.79%.
[??????]
[!!!!!!]
[Holy crap, what the heck!!]
[Ahhhhh——]
[? What are you all… trying to say?]
[Ahhhhh, God Yun!! Ahhhhh, grade 9 energy fluid!!]
[My guess is that God Yun is the mysterious Energy Master from the Gu Conglomerate, and he extracted grade 9 energy fluid. Sorry, I—I’m at a loss for words!]
[I’m completely stunned, I don’t know which part is more shocking, holy shit.]
Starnet practically exploded. There had never been such a massive surge of traffic into a single topic. This couldn’t even be described as a mere “explosion.”
Grade 9 energy fluid! Grade 9!!
Damn, even grade 8 energy fluid hadn’t appeared before, and now they had jumped straight to grade 9!
This meant that there was still huge potential for energy utilization, a possibility that was infinitely close to the ideal limit. This discovery was a groundbreaking revolution.
Before this, people believed that grade 8 energy fluid was the maximum efficiency that could be reached since no Energy Master had ever extracted a purity higher than 80%.
But now, someone had extracted energy fluid with over 90% purity.
This meant that the limits people thought existed were not really limits, because beyond those limits, there was even greater potential!
And the one who made this revolutionary discovery—was Bai Jing.
