Witch Special

This time, the time flow rate between the alternate world Lin Zhenxi visited and the main world was nearly six to one. This ratio seemed even greater than the previous one, that of Uncle Saitama. It was unclear whether this was due to the difference between the two worlds, or if the time scale between the main world and other alternate worlds had changed.

This matter seems to have little to do with Lin Zhenxi, after all, it is the relationship between the world and the world, but if you think about it carefully, it is actually closely related to Lin Zhenxi's career and even future development.

Just imagine, if the two ends of this scale change are the main world and other alien worlds, what will happen if the current scale becomes larger and larger?

A year in the other world is equivalent to three months, two months, one month, half a month, or even a day in the real world. A commission that would normally take a year or two to complete in the other world can be completed and returned in a single day in the main world.

Calculated by the time in the main world, Lin Zhenxi has been a special envoy for only one month away from eleven years. Not counting the two most recent ones, she has only been to six other worlds in the past ten years, and the time ratio is one to one. One day in the other world is also one day in the main world.

And if the scale between the main world and the other world changes, the speed at which the special envoys return after going to the other world will be greatly increased. As long as the commissions are issued frequently, perhaps two or three commissions can be completed in a year.

In this case, Lin Zhenxi's current advantage of completing eight more commissioned tasks than the new special envoys might be equaled by those who come later in just a few years if she stagnates or gets lost in a different world for too long.

This discovery brought a sense of crisis to Lin Zhenxi. She had always been quite proud of her work performance. After all, she had carried out missions to so many unknown and dangerous other worlds and successfully returned. Compared to her colleagues who were lost in other worlds and never returned, Lin Zhenxi was undoubtedly outstanding.

As a prominent employee of the "Company," Lin Zhenxi had her own pride, and naturally, she couldn't accept being surpassed or even left far behind by younger employees who had joined the "Company" after her. Fortunately, she still had a significant head start advantage. As long as she continued to actively complete the tasks assigned by the "Company," she shouldn't have to worry about falling behind.

Furthermore, Lin Zhenxi was already on Princess Bai's special observation list, which meant she was already considered a key figure in the Emperor's heart. As long as Lin Zhenxi didn't let herself down, she wouldn't have to worry about falling out of the top tier.

Despite this, Lin Zhenxi still felt pressure from this unusual time scale. This pressure came from uncertainty about the future and worry about this situation.

The time scale's shifts wouldn't be without reason. What could have caused the time scale, once strictly adhering to a one-to-one ratio, to undergo such a dramatic shift in the past year? Perhaps, somewhere unknown to Lin Zhenxi, some major event was brewing, poised to explode at any moment, unleashing global unrest.

But then again, the biggest anomaly in this world had already appeared a long time ago. What could be more unusual than a large group of aliens who had traveled from some unknown other world? Even those aliens had become the norm in this world and were accepted by the public. Perhaps the people of this world had become so resilient that they could face any changes in the world calmly.

But then again, during the time Lin Zhenxi visited the Garden of the Dead, the time scale was completely normal. Each day was a day, with no discounts at all. Is it because the Garden of the Dead is unique, or is the time scale in the other worlds Lin Zhenxi visited previously fixed, all at a constant 1:1 ratio?

I'm not sure, but next time Lin Zhenxi goes to the other worlds besides the Garden of Death that she has visited before and rests for a few days, she will be able to get the answer to this question.

Putting aside the changes in the time scale for the moment, Lin Zhenxi turned his attention back to the answers given to him by the QA platform.

There seem to be four options, but Lin Zhenxi feels that only the third one seems to be truly feasible, which is to find radioactive minerals and transform them into simulated Terra Stone, and then use this counterfeit to give the Creator's Ring as a contemporary meal.

The first point goes without saying. Terra Stone is a specialty of the previous alternate world, and there's no such thing as it outside of that village. Lin Zhenxi can't just go back to that world to look for Terra Stone every time she runs out, right? Besides, Terra Stone doesn't look easy to find. It's probably some rare mineral, the kind that's in short supply.

In any case, Lin Zhenxi would not entrust the right to use the important props in her hands to something that she could not control, so this Terra Stone, which could not be obtained at any time or carried in large quantities without worrying about insufficient stock, was obviously not within her range of choice.

Secondly, isn't this how the Creator Ring currently produces "light and darkness"? If Lin Zhenxi could accept this low conversion rate and slow speed, she wouldn't have to come here to raise questions.

Then there was the final item. Lin Zhenxi knew about the energy of light and the power of darkness, but what was the origin? It was probably similar to the elemental spirit heart that Lin Zhenxi had fused with, an extremely rare item that might not be found even if one searched the entire world.

Lin Zhenxi still hadn't figured out what the origin was, let alone finding these two energies at the origin level. So even though this method could solve the problem of insufficient energy in the Creator Ring once and for all, Lin Zhenxi still couldn't choose this path.

Compared to the other three unreliable options, the third method of replacing the irradiated ore was clearly more feasible. After all, Lin Zhenxi had already done this kind of concept assignment long ago, and through some methods, it could even be directly processed on an assembly line. All it took was enough mana to create miracles.

Lin Zhenxi does not lack magic power. What she lacks now is "light and darkness". What she lacks is a channel to replenish "light and darkness", and this channel needs to be unobstructed enough, rather than just a small hole where the energy flowing through is not enough to fill the gaps between her teeth.

So now she just needs to find radioactive ore and then she can start trying to imitate Terra Stone?

No, before that...

Lin Zhenxi opened the Space Cube and pulled out a test tube filled with a glowing, unknown liquid. The moment he took the test tube out of the Space Cube, Lin Zhenxi could feel a piece of his magic power reservoir missing.

Fortunately, Lin Maki's magic power has been upgraded twice, and the total amount has increased by two orders of magnitude compared to before she went to Uncle Saitama's world, so this part of the consumption did not bring too much burden to her body. It just made her feel a little chest tightness, and she just needed to take a few breaths.

This tube of fluorescent liquid is actually the product of multiple purifications of the body fluids of the radioactive slimes. The slime part has been completely removed, leaving only the source of radiation, which is the energy of the magic minerals.

After the radioactive slime ate those magic minerals, it also possessed the property of producing that kind of radiation energy, which was equivalent to the mineral becoming a slime. Moreover, it only needed to absorb external energy to synthesize that kind of radiation energy in its body, turning the original non-renewable resource into the current renewable resource.

The value of magic ore is self-evident. The extract of this high-energy and stable solid mineral is an essential raw material for many magic experiments. After all, not all spellcasters have the ability to prepare magic essence. Compared with magic essence that must be stored in a sealed manner and is likely to cause a magic explosion once leaked, magic ore extract is obviously an ideal alternative.

However, because Lin Zhenxi already had experience in extracting magic essence, the value of the magic ore extract to her had actually decreased significantly. After all, magic ore was more valuable than gold of the same quality. Previously, so many large pieces of magic ore were lying unowned in the Orc Canyon, and Lin Zhenxi felt that if she didn't dig up this unexpected fortune, she would be wasting it.

But now Lin Zhenxi took out the test tube of magic mineral extract not to use it for magic experiments, she just had some ideas in her mind and planned to verify them.

The name Terra Stone always sounded familiar to her. Terra Stone had radiation, and so did this magical ore. Terra Stone was a high-energy mineral, and so did this magical ore. Terra Stone was a specialty of the previous world, and this magical ore was also mined by Lin Zhenxi from that world. So, was there a possibility that this magical ore was actually Terra Stone?

Not sure? Then give it a try.

While magic ore can exist stably in the natural environment, its extract has certain environmental requirements. It's not as perverse as magic essence, which poses an immediate risk of explosion if leaked, but it must also be stored in an environment with a very stable or low-energy environment. Otherwise, even the slightest elemental fluctuation could activate the extract, turning the entire test tube into a bomb.

Generally speaking, this magic ore extract is the energy provider for various magic experiments. Once it enters the reaction vessel, it will immediately begin to be consumed. As long as the reaction environment is always in a low-energy state, its explosion risk will be much smaller, but it is not absolutely safe and still needs to be operated with caution.

But now, Lin Zhenxi plans to throw the Creator Ring directly into this tube of magic mineral extract to see if the two can produce any reaction, so she must be prepared for the extract in this test tube to explode.

Such a high concentration of magic mineral extract, if it explodes, it is conservatively estimated that it can blow up Lin Zhenxi's bedroom and several surrounding rooms. This is no joke. Before Lin Zhenxi confirms his idea, he must first prepare appropriate protective measures.
