Chapter 92 Mutant Pearl



Chapter 92 Mutant Pearl

This lake is not only large, but also very deep.

Just in case, Yu Yao put on her scuba diving gear.

Although this would make her cumbersome, she...

I can't freedive.

I wonder if others will do the same.

So after leaving some diving equipment on the shore, she went into the water alone.

Of course, this is a very dangerous act.

It's best not to go diving alone if possible.

But the current situation is different.

They are all superhumans, with strong physical abilities and sufficient adaptability.

It is a case of exceptional skill and daring, and cannot be imitated.

......

The deeper Yu Yao went, the more she felt that she was wearing the right diving gear.

Because the lake was much deeper than she had imagined.

If you rely solely on freediving, you won't reach the bottom of the lake in just a few minutes; you'll need to come out for air.

Apart from Dongfang Jin, a water-type ability user who can go without breathing underwater for a short period of time.

......

It wasn't until she dived to the bottom of the lake that Yu Yao could see what the bottom of the lake looked like.

One by one, the fluorescent pearls appeared and disappeared as the oyster shells opened and closed.

When connected in large sections, they resemble rhythmically flashing underwater neon lights, a breathtakingly beautiful sight.

It seems that the special spiritual power of these mutated pearls catalyzed the mutation of the silver fish in the lake.

At the same time, the fish were imbued with some spiritual power, giving them the ability to enhance their supernatural abilities.

......

Yu Yao blew a bubble and quickly spread her mental energy to collect all the mutated pearls and clam shells within range into her spatial storage.

They swam towards the direction where the pearls were noticeably larger.

The further you go in that direction, the brighter the mutated pearl becomes.

It's obvious that something extraordinary is going in that direction!

......

A few minutes later, Yu Yao reached the brightest spot.

At the bottom of the dim lake, that spot was almost as bright as day.

But the light was very subtle, only covering a range of three meters, so it was impossible to notice from the lake surface or from a distance.

They discovered that Xu Jingci, who was carrying diving equipment, was also heading in this direction.

Yu Yao quickly packed up everything in the brightest spot and put it into the warehouse.

Then, like a magnet, it continued to attract all the mutated oysters and pearls within a two-meter radius of its path.

Why not twenty meters?

Because her mental energy is not solid enough, it will be hindered underwater, and she will not be able to exert even one-tenth of her power.

Upon seeing this, Xu Jingci was stunned for a moment, but after realizing what was happening, she quickly turned around and moved far away from Yu Yao.

......

After about 40 minutes, the group of people who had gone down into the water came ashore one after another to change their compressed air tanks, and then went back down into the water again.

This was repeated several times until, as dawn broke, they finally stopped going into the water to retrieve the pearl.

By the lake, Yu Yao took off her equipment and headgear, shook her long, wet hair, and smiled like a satisfied little fox.

For no other reason than her abundant harvest.

Because of the powerful bug in the warehouse that allows for the collection of supplies, almost 70% of the pearls at the bottom of the lake are in her space.

She even absorbed 60% of the large silver fish.

Of the remaining 30% of the pearls, teammates with space accounted for 25%.

Xuanfeng's team only took half a percent.

After all, they had no space and could only put them in their pockets.

If you load too much, you have to go ashore to change to another one, and you also need to leave someone on the shore to guard it.

It's both time-consuming and laborious.

Although Lin Fengmu obtained a fragment of the spatial laws and comprehended the power of space, he claimed to have awakened a spatial ability.

But he was only one person; how could he compare to the seven people on Yu Yao's side?

Chi Heng strode over carrying his equipment, noticed her expression, and couldn't help but chuckle, "So happy?"

Yu Yao nodded quickly, "A great haul, and I even got a big one!"

"What big guy?"

"With the mutated mother clam, we'll have a continuous supply of mutated pearls!"

Chi Heng tilted his head and raised an eyebrow, "The space can hold living things now?"

"No, so I'm treating it as a mutated beast contract."

Thanks to the system, the mutated clam was identified the moment it entered the backpack.

I immediately moved it to the pet space and asked Yu Yao if she wanted to bind it as a pet.

Yu Yao certainly wouldn't miss out on this great opportunity, and quickly chose to bind with it.

Although there are no lakes or water in the pet space, making it impossible to breed, at least they can survive well.

Once we have a home, we can just dig a body of water and raise it there.

"Hmm?" Chi Heng paused for a moment, then chuckled.

"That's a huge profit."

"That is."

While the two chatted, Luo Mei and the others gradually returned to the shore.

As Luo Mei removed her equipment, she excitedly exclaimed, "This is amazing! There was a time when I was exhausted underwater, but after absorbing some energy from a pearl, I immediately felt refreshed, and my superpowers even increased significantly!"

Jiang Yi also said, "If this continues, won't we be able to advance to level three very soon?"

Dongfang Jin shook her head, surprisingly calm.

"I have a feeling that there is a limit to the amount of mutated pearls can absorb at each level. It's highly unlikely that we can upgrade entirely with pearls."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi immediately deflated: "Huh? There are restrictions too!"

Qi Xian patted his wet shoulder.

"Alright, some improvement is good enough. You can't expect to get rich quick!"

Chi Heng saw that his teammates had all returned.

Meanwhile, the members of the Xuanfeng team gradually emerged from the water and assembled.

He glanced at Yu Yao, who was still wearing wet clothes and talking to Luo Mei while draping a white blanket over herself.

He quickly said, "Now that you're back, go back and change your clothes and rest a bit."

"Okay~"

After handing over their diving equipment to Yu Yao for safekeeping, the group began their return journey.

......

Yu Yao and Luo Mei each draped a soft white blanket over themselves.

Luo Mei, with a thick towel on her head and a sleeping black jade doll on top, followed at the back of the crowd, laughing and joking.

Back at the parking lot, Chi Heng knew his teammates were eager to try out the effects of the mutated pearl.

So he discussed it with Lin Fengmu and decided to stay where they were for half a day.

Lin Fengmu would certainly not disagree.

Back in the car, Yu Yao and Luo Mei took hot showers in the girls' bathroom one after the other, and then went back to their room.

While Luo Mei excitedly went to absorb the mutated pearls, Yu Yao also took out a few.

For no other reason than that mutated pearls can also be converted into experience!

One pill grants 10000 experience points.

As Dongfang Jin said, she can only absorb 5 pearls per level.

But now she is only 38578 experience points away from reaching level 24.

You can upgrade with less than five!

How wonderful!

Without much thought, she quickly absorbed four pills and leveled up to level 24.

After the upgrade was complete, Yu Yao absorbed five more before stopping.

......

Most of the other members of the team are currently absorbing mutated pearls.

Jiang Yi and Dongfang Jin were in the compartment at the front of the car, while Qi Xian and Luo Pingjing were in the master bedroom above the front of the car.

Only Chi Heng remained in the living room.

So Yu Yao tiptoed out of the room.

When Chi Heng saw her come out, he asked in surprise in a low voice, "Why did you come out?"

"Absorbed."

"So fast?"

"Okay, I'll stay here. You go and absorb it."

Chi Heng frowned. "Really absorbed it all?"

Yu Yao nodded repeatedly, "Really, would I need to lie about something like this?"

Chi Heng tried to sense Yu Yao's level, and it was indeed much stronger than before.

But it's still around level two.

This leads us to discuss Yu Yao's game level in detail.

Her level is roughly 10 times that of an ordinary superhuman.

That means her level 10 advancement is equivalent to an ordinary superhuman advancing one level.

She is currently at level 24, which is close to the mid-stage of the early level 2 of an ordinary superhuman.

Chi Heng raised an eyebrow: "Didn't you upgrade?"

"Not yet, but I'm not in a hurry."

Chi Heng saw that she looked relaxed and didn't seem to be forcing herself.

That's why I feel relieved.

"Okay, then you stay and keep watch for now."

"Ah."

After Yu Yao finished speaking, Chi Heng glanced at her again before taking out a few mutated pearls and absorbing them with his eyes closed.
