Step on the Star - C115
“So it’s Student Lu. Please, I’ll show you around.” Manager Ark was very enthusiastic. Although he was surprised to hear Lu Yin’s name, he quickly covered it up. In the universe, surname Lu was rarely seen.
Lu Yin looked up. The sky of this planet was dark yellow. There was no sun shrouding the sky. There were thick yellow clouds above, giving people a stifling feeling.
“There’s no need. Manager Aker, take me to where the mission is completed,” Lu Yin said directly.
There are too many wastes in the universe, and a large portion of them are man-made products. Although these products are abandoned, many companies will separate and recreate the useful materials from these wastes. This method can save money and also effectively clean up the trash in the universe.
Lu Yin had checked over the past two days and discovered that cultivators were able to use the Star Disintegrator to extract different substances. Generally speaking, the better one’s control over a star, the more material one would remove.
“I do not need a disintegrator.” Lu Yin said faintly.
Manager Aker stared blankly at Lu Yin, “Student Lu, what did you say?”
Lu Yin frowned, “Prepare a quiet place for me, I don’t need a disintegrator.”
Manager Aker’s eyes flashed, he nodded, then ordered the aircraft to turn around.
Half an hour later, the flying ship stopped beside a hill. “Student Lu, there’s no one here. There are also a lot of abandoned machinery around. You can use it as much as you want. Don’t worry, no one will be watching.”
Lu Yin stepped off the airship, breathing in the pungent smell of the gas. This gas was no different from poison gas to ordinary people, but it was nothing to a cultivator like him. It was just a little stinky.
“I’ll get someone to prepare an air freshener for you.”
Lu Yin waved his hand. “There’s no need. You guys can leave. Alright, I’ll call you guys.”
Without any more pleasantries, he got on the aircraft and left.
The moment he left, he opened his personal terminal, “General Manager, the students from the tenth academy do not need a disintegrator, they either rely on their star power or their talent.”
“It’s probably due to talent. Someone who can break down materials by relying on his or her star ability can take the test. He or she won’t take this kind of mission, so don’t bother with him or her. We’ll talk about it when the results are out.”
“Yes, sir!”
The hill was not high, and Lu Yin rose into the air. Looking around, he saw countless tall abandoned machinery lying on the ground. Some were big and some were small. The largest one was spreading far away, probably large spaceships.
Dark yellow clouds fluttered in the sky, Lu Yin moved his four limbs, “You can begin, I hope I can draw 2 points.” Finished speaking, he took out the dice.
At this moment, the dice were emitting hazy starlight. There was no need to replenish it with a Star Energy Crystal; it was about time for it to restore itself after so many days.
Swallowing his saliva, every time he shook the dice, Lu Yin was very nervous.
With a point of his finger, the dice rapidly rotated until it finally shook a bit. With a “pa” sound, a battle blade fell down. Lu Yin picked it up and looked at it.
He took out a cubic Star Energy Crystal from the spatial ring and crushed it. After the dice was restored, Lu Yin continued to point his finger out.
His luck was good. He directly hit two points, and the disintegration vortex appeared.
This was it. He did not even think twice before immediately crushing the eighteen cubic meters of energy crystal, this kind of disintegration vortex could be used to increase the time just like the time in the Spaces. The one cubic meter of energy crystal could increase the time by 160 minutes, which was double the time limit of the Spaces.
“It’s just that it’s a bit small …” Lu Yin muttered to himself. He picked up the abandoned equipment beside him and tossed it into the whirlpool. The moment he passed through the whirlpool, some unknown materials dropped.
Lu Yin took a deep breath, “Start working.” After he finished speaking, he pushed the mountain-like trash into the disintegration whirlpool. Although the disintegration whirlpool was small, once it passed through its range, it would be broken down. Lu Yin could only move it back and forth.
Thinking back to when he broke down the spatial ring, Lu Yin guessed that these materials could still be broken down to obtain something even more precious, but he did not do so. His rate of decomposition was already shocking enough, if he broke down those precious materials again, who knows what would happen.
A day passed just like that. Lu Yin spent a day’s worth of time to decompose a considerable amount of abandoned machinery. The area around the hill became a little more spacious, and the materials that came out were like a mountain.
“I wonder how much income this will bring me.” Lu Yin thought for a moment and crushed the crystal once again, “Another day.”
Two days later, upon receiving the notice, Manager Acker immediately flew to Lu Yin’s side.
When he saw the two mountains of disassembled materials, Manager Aker rubbed his eyes vigorously. It’s true! It’s actually true! How could he manage to disintegrate so much in just two days? Even if the Ji Realm cultivators used the most effective disintegrator, it would still take them less than a month to come up with that much! This was way too efficient!
For a moment, the manager looked at Lu Yin as if he was looking at God.
Lu Yin coughed, “What, Manager Aker, is that enough?”
Manager Aker quickly said, “Enough, enough. You have completed your task and it was beyond your ability. Student Lu, um, were you the one who did all of this?”
He could not help but suspect that there were students who brought a lot of materials here in order to complete their academy’s mission in the past, even though they said that they had obtained it through their own analysis. In fact, they did not really care, they just treated those materials as acquisitions, and there were even gains and mutual benefits. Are you for real? Split up so quickly?
Lu Yin said faintly, “Please help me calculate the remuneration.”
“Yes!” General Manager Aker quickly agreed. He sent someone to settle the payment for Lu Yin and also contacted the general manager, who was also the person in charge of the Navy Tide Territory’s Ilan Corporation.
“Impossible, it’s impossible for a student to be divided so quickly. Unless he’s the interpreter,” the beautiful woman’s voice was fixed.
“Let me ask.”
“There’s no need to ask, it should be fake. The speaker does not care about this little bit of pay and would not waste time doing this kind of thing. Let that student leave.”
“Then, what about the progress of the mission?”
“Excessive completion.”
“Yes!” Manager Aker hung up the screen, on the other side, Lu Yin had already received his reward, he spent two days disintegrating the mountainous pile of materials, most of it not worth much, it was just ordinary hard metal, but there were also some valuable special materials, they were all sold for grams, and these materials added up to a few tons, which was a total of 10 billion universe dollars, hence the reward he got was more than 3 billion universe dollars.
Lu Yin calculated, if the abandoned machinery he dissected in the past two days was intact, the total price definitely wouldn’t be lower than 100 billion universe dollars. If the company recycles it at an extremely low price, and then invites these warriors to dissect and reproduce the materials they acquired, the finished product could be sold for tens of billions, even with the money they were paid, they could still make tens of billions, which was an absolute windfall.
As for the machinery maintenance, maintenance, training and so on, they would all need money. This money would similarly be paid to the company, and the money they earned would never stop, no wonder they had the money to buy planets as rubbish dumps.
Lu Yin felt jealous. Just how rich was this company? This company was merely a company from another universe. Compared to the other big powers, it was nothing, not to mention the Mabis Bank.
