Back to the question of the astral spirits.

Because Amy was locked up by the system, he could only deduce the use of the Star Spirit Technology module based on the available information.

After Thrandis and the seven Zealots returned, the energy inside the Giant Crystal Tower above the altar stopped draining, indicating that the Energy of the Giant Crystal Tower was constantly consumed to maintain the existence of the Star Spirit Units in the current world.

The energy level of the Giant Crystal Tower determines what kind of astral units he can summon and how long he can be there.

In other words, the more energy in the Giant Crystal Tower, the stronger the Star Spirit units that can be summoned.

The way to replenish the energy of the giant crystal tower is the Merlot crystal, and I don't know what kind of energy this crystal contains, and it can be used by the star spirits.

After learning the operation mechanism of the giant crystal tower, Tang Yan used three-quarters of the 100 energy points brought by breaking a small piece of Merlot crystal to summon astral units, and the remaining quarter was used to maintain their existence in this world.

After Thrandis and the seven Zealots vanished, the remaining energy of the Giant Crystal Tower read 3.

In less than three minutes, 100 energy points were almost consumed.

He's in pain, but it's worth the money, and if it weren't for Thrandis and the seven fanatics, God knows what kind of desperate situation they're facing.

In addition, for the Giant Crystal Tower, all he can choose is how many energy points to consume, whether the Star Spirit units that appear on the battlefield are Zealots or Stalkers, Dark Templars or High Templars, plural Star Warriors or singular Machines, whether they are led by Star Spirit Heroes or fought separately...... He had no control over any of this.

To use an analogy, it's like gambling, or buying a lucky bag and not knowing what's in the package.

What did Thrandis say when he left?

She was disturbed by him while she was taking a nap, which was itself a random performance.

Of course, from a certain point of view, her displeasure with him saves him from wasting saliva to explain, just like a smart person who is open and makes up for his unharmonious relationship with aliens, and will not use this method unless he has to.

In the blink of an eye, he pushed open the door to the living room, gently placed the girl on the bed covered with plaid bedding, and carefully examined the familiar and unfamiliar face.

Familiarity comes from the memory of the body, and strangeness comes from the soul that does not belong to this world.

Who is she? What is it called? What does it have to do with "yourself"?

He had a lot of questions to ask, but looking at the tired face, the tears that remained in the corners of his eyes, the frown that frowned from time to time, and the hand that wanted to hold something tightly, he forcibly suppressed the urge to wake her up, gently closed the door, and walked outside.

The fist-sized Merlot Crystal in the sealed box brings 100 energy points to the Giant Crystal Tower, but what about the Merlot Crystal the size of a human head? Purely from the perspective of volume, at least three or four times the income.

The resource maker who helps humans make the most of solar energy is a one-time consumable when they come to him.

If it is in the United States, it may be easier to obtain Merlot Crystals, but this is the Huaxia Continent on the other side of the ocean, where to collect more Merlot Crystals?

It's a pity that the core part of Han Xin's father's research materials on Merlot Crystals fell into the hands of Fan Changfa, if he can take it back, with the Merlot crystal samples outside, I don't know if Beethoven and the people from the Gem City Academy can make Merlot Crystals for their own use.

Well, he's just playing with it and not worrying about repeating the mistakes of the Americans.

Boom!

An object falls to the ground.

It's not a Merlot crystal, it's a big pincer. Judging by the shape, it should have been derived from mirelurk hunters.

Boom!

There was another muffled sound, and General Wang jumped down the stairs and appeared in front of him, still holding the head of most of the mirelurk hunters in his arms.

"What are you doing on this ship?"

General Wang was stunned for a moment, looked at him and said, "Of course it's to be sold." ”

Tang Yan suddenly came to his senses.

When he and Zang Feng went to Maxim's Cannery, they encountered several mirelurks in the ditch on the way back, and after the battle, Zang Feng gave the mirelurk meat as a gift to the guards of Gem City.

The meat of ordinary mireurers is already an excellent ingredient, and the meat of mirelurk hunters and mirelururk crab razor claws is naturally more valuable.

In addition to its practical value, the shell of the mirelurk razor claw is light and strong, which can withstand the fire of small-caliber weapons, and can be used to make armor.

For example, the stomach of the mirelurk hunter can be made into a light coat that resists strong acid and radiation, the long beard can be used for medicine, and some people make claws into weapons and sell them to the fighters of the Ayutthaya Arena.

As the leader of the mirelurk crab group, the mirelurk king is naturally more valuable. This is mainly manifested in the fact that the Yanhuang Brotherhood, Jiankang City, and District 21 have issued huge bounties in the Bounty Hunter Guild, hoping that someone will provide a living mirelurk crab king.

Of course, the dead will too, but the price will be much lower.

It is rumored that these three highly technologically powerful organizations want to start with the creatures of the mirelurk king in order to develop stealth armor that can make it stealthy.

Judging purely from the results, the battle was hard work, but the gains were great.

Although he was not a bounty hunter like Gao Kai, and did not understand how bounty hunters would price valuable materials on the beasts, one thing was for sure, bringing these prey back into the Gem City would cause a sensation in the peninsula.

When Tang Yan walked out of the cabin and came to the sun, General Wang asked him a question.

"Those in golden armor are really ...... Alien? ”

"Those people...... It's a projection of aliens, you can think of them as energy bodies that have downloaded the alien personality. ”

General Wang had a blank expression.

Energy body, download-type personality...... He didn't understand a word.

Tang Yan was not in the mood to explain these two terms to him in detail, so he walked over to the mirelurk hunter's claws and squatted down, reaching out to the viscous body fluid flowing from the wound.

With the next breath, a metallic voice devoid of human feelings came through his head.

"Gene of interest is being extracted...... Finish. ”

"Retrieving the alien gene pool...... Done"

"Allocating system resources...... Finish. ”

"A genetic model of the parasite is being built...... Finish. ”

"The cockroach potential has been released."

As the sound disappears and the character fades, the area above the Worm Evolution Tree Jumping Bug node begins to glow, and the cockroach pattern is activated by a gray lock state.

Cockroach...... Unlocked?!

Think about the way a mirelurk hunter attacks, and then think about the way cockroaches attack, and the two are indeed similar.

He looked at the reward points needed to exchange for cockroach parasites------ 2000 reward points, which is 5 times more than jumping worm parasites.

She looked at the current balance of reward points in the system space ------ 1435, and she couldn't afford to buy them at all.

"Alas! I'm such a poor man. ”

After he sighed that he was a poor man, he raised his eyes and saw General Wang's angry expression that someone had robbed Xiaohong, scolded in a low voice, and walked towards the corpse of the mireururk king lying upside down on the second deck.

The sea breeze sent the movement behind him, and the cook could vaguely hear the indignant muttering.

"You're poor! Are you poor? If you're a poor person, what are the people who live in Gem City? Beggars? ”

Tang Yan looked at the corpse of the mireururk crab king and thought to himself, to tell the truth, why is no one always believing it? Is there any reason in this world?

His palm stretched out towards the body fluid that overflowed from the mirelurk king's chest, unlike the mirelurk hunter, the mirelurk king's blood was dark green, a little thin.

Unsurprisingly, he was alerted to a new Worm element to unlock.

It is a digging claw, which allows cockroaches to move in a submerged state, and is often used to raid Yin people in battle mode, and it is also a running skill.

Upgrading the Digging Claw costs 2400 bonus points.

The mirelurk king can be invisible, and he can also use the water escape method, which is somewhat related to the cockroach's digging claw upgrade, and the mirelurk king's DNA unlocks the "digging claw" barely said in the past.

After touching the corpse of the mirelurk hunter and the corpse of the mirelurk king, he walked to the foredeck of the salvage ship, stopped in front of the mirelurk razor claw corpse next to the SCV, and stretched out his hand.

The system prompt sounds, and another insect element is unlocked.

Adaptive carapace------ when cockroaches are hit hard, they secrete a biological hormone through the gland, and the strength and toughness of the shell will increase for a certain period of time.

Upgrading the Adaptive Carapace costs 2100 bonus points, which is lower than the Digging Claw.

The mirelurk razor claw is the closest to the ordinary mirelurk in terms of appearance, and it should be an evolution of the latter, the latter unlocks the hardened carapace of the jumping worm, and the former unlocks the adaptive carapace of the cockroach, and there is nothing wrong with this logic.

Breeding Cockroach Parasites requires 2000 bonus points, 2400 bonus points for Digging Claws, and 2100 bonus points for Adaptive Carapace, for a total of 6500 bonus points to implement the new Insect Technology.

"6500 Bonus Points......"

I want to buy too much and save too little.

At this time, Zang Feng's voice came from next to him, interrupting his gloomy expression: "What are you doing?" ”

The expression on the face of the legion commander was a little strange, and he couldn't understand Tang Yan's evil taste of grossing around with a pile of mireurk corpses.

"I didn't do anything, I just wanted to know what the difference between the razor claws of a mireururk crab and a normal mireurk crab was."

Zang Feng looked at his face, and his eyes were clearly saying, "You are really idle and painful." ”

"Since I have nothing to do, I'll come over and help carry the carcass of the mirelurk."

The Reaper Warframe can help him move between the deck and the reef, picking up the stumps and broken arms scattered around him, but for the relatively large torso, he can only rely on the crane to drag it, which is not very efficient.

If SCV joins the mission sequence, the work of cleaning up the battlefield will be much easier, but it's a pity that the thing is too complicated, Zang Feng went up and stared at the red, green, and green buttons and joysticks for a long time, how to get up and how to get down, honestly put on his Reaper armor and use the ant moving method to transfer the prey little by little.

"Make people good at summoning people......"

Tang Yan walked to the front of the SCV and looked at the multiple scratches on the soles of the alloy feet that were caught by the sharelur claws of the mirelurks, and it was very painful.

It's like buying a new car and leaving it outside overnight, and when you wake up in the morning, you find that it has been scratched by someone's, which is very uncomfortable and unpleasant.

"Why don't I see you complaining when I pick up girls." Zang Feng flicked the cigarette butt that was only his butt burning into the sea, put on the Reaper's armor and mask and continued to work.

Tang Yan looked at the armor on his chest that had been cut in half by the mirelurk crab king, and pressed back the words that rushed to his throat.

………………

The work of collecting the carcasses of the mirelurks was quickly completed with the participation of the SCV.

Tang Yan transferred the Merlot Crystal in the sealed box to the utility room for storage, and when he came out, General Wang had already made a pot of crab soup with ready-made ingredients.

He returned to the cabin, opened the door of the living room, and saw that the girl was sleeping very deeply, so he did not disturb him, and asked General Wang to keep some in the pot, and ate a beautiful meal with the dry food and pickles he had prepared when he came.

At around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, Tang Yan had just finished washing the foredeck, and Gao Kai reported bad news.

Not long ago, the salvage ship hit a reef, and although the hull of the ship was unobstructed, the internal crew was affected by the shock and could not ignite, and could not set sail for a while.

Fortunately, the situation was not serious, there were spare parts in the hold, and after about an hour of inspection and repair, the salvage ship finally moved, leaving the reef with a slightly muffled engine sound and heading towards the depths of the sea.

After finishing all the trivial matters, Tang Yan was planning to go to the cabin to take a rest, anyway, this lying journey would take at least 10 hours or more, and it would be early in the morning to return to the Maxim's Canning Factory.

He left the cockpit and walked to the stern through the upper deck, and before he could descend the stairs, he suddenly heard General Wang's exclamation from the passage leading to the inner cabin.

"Don't be like this, I don't have malicious ......"

"Hey, do you know how to be polite, as a guest, how can you litter the owner's belongings."

"I repeat, don't lose it."

"The tiger is not powerful, you really think I am a sick cat."

Then Tang Yan heard a roar, but it was quickly interrupted, followed by a clanging crunch.

He didn't dare to slack off, quickly opened the hatch, entered the aisle wrapped in the salty sea breeze, and descended some distance down the stairs to the front of the inner cabin.

There is a place for the crew to cook and eat, with induction cookers, pots and pans, a large vat of fresh water, sugar, salt, sauce and vinegar, rice, flour, grain and oil, and two dining tables that can seat five or six people.

When Tang Yan walked over, General Wang and Zang Feng were dodging the colander and shovel flying from the opposite side, fortunately they were made of wood and stainless steel, which was difficult to break, otherwise the cook would be very painful.

Although he was born in the wild and graduated from a non-academic class, he loved kitchen utensils no less than he loved weapons, as evidenced by the fact that every time he went out, he carried a gray leather package with a row of knives of different sizes.

He said that this pile of things kills people and cuts vegetables, has many uses and benefits.

Three Cannon says it's a gift from Red in exchange for her body from a scavenger merchant.

General Wang's most annoying sentence is "bitches are affectionate, and the drama is meaningless", although this is common knowledge in the wasteland world.

On the opposite side of the door, near the cupboard, stood a girl, who had just smashed her head and face at the door, and the kitchenware of the two flew out of her hand.

She was holding a piece of dough in her left hand, and the crimson sauce stuck to the corner of her mouth, which looked a lot like a fish sauce from Toshima that Tong Huaiyu brought with her when she arrived at ------Maxim's Cannery.
