Chapter 9: Energy Crystals

  "Do you have a way?" Upon hearing this, Duan Yue was overjoyed!

  To know, during this period of time, Duan Yue was almost racking his brains to think of a way to make money, but unfortunately, he still couldn't come up with any good ideas and was at a loss. Now that Ding Ding said she had a solution to the current predicament, how could Duan Yue not be delighted?

  "As long as you find a crystal that can provide a lot of energy, everything will be fine!" Ding Ding said to Duan Yue with a face full of expectation.

  For DING, energy is everything. Only with enough energy can she have a sense of existence and realize her value. For DUAN LEI, the food he has been taking in every day for some time now is a huge burden, but for DING, this amount of energy is just a drop in the bucket. Now, the only thing that can quickly restore DING's energy is the Energy Crystal.

  "Alright, you tell me the characteristics of the energy crystal and I'll try to find it on Earth." Duanshi naturally had no objections and raised both hands in agreement.

  If he could find a crystal and it just so happened to be one of the cheap items on Earth, that would be even better! Duan Lei was constantly fantasizing in his heart, hoping to get rid of his role as an energy supplier as soon as possible.

  Looking at Dingdang's rich and humanized performance, Duan Lei has enough reason to believe that once the database is opened, the technology inside must be extraordinary.

  "Generally speaking, on our planet of Maca, natural crystals as energy are similar to this crystal, with colors such as blue, red, white or transparent." With a flick of his wrist, an octahedral crystal-like crystal flashed a dazzling light, appearing in Duan Lei's mind.

  "What are the characteristics of this crystal, and how can we judge it?" Looking at the crystal in his mind, Duan Lei still felt confused, after all, he was just a student from the Agricultural College, and he didn't know anything about this naturally formed mineral crystal. Of course, Duan Lei wouldn't simply think that this crystal was just like the quartz or other minerals found on Earth.

  "This crystal is generally composed entirely of energy, without any specific elemental composition, and is a mysterious product of nature, not an ordinary mineral crystal." Dingding tried hard to recall something from his memory and said: "This thing is very common on the planet Makka, I just don't know if it exists on your Earth? Anyway, I didn't see any relevant information in your memory."

  Upon hearing this, Duan Yue's originally somewhat elated mood suddenly plummeted to the bottom. As far as he knew, there had never been any reports of such a pure energy crystal on Earth, or perhaps there were, but they had already been blocked by the national machinery and were not at a level that Duan Yue could currently access.

  "I'll go take a look at the Geology College tomorrow, there are many natural mineral crystals in the Geological Museum, hopefully I can get good luck!" Duan Lei said listlessly, then pulled over the quilt and went to sleep.

  Duan Yue fell asleep, but the ding-ding in his mind was very energetic, constantly jumping up and down, with bright eyes shining with cunning light.

  …………

  Early in the morning, before Duan Yue had a chance to take action, Dingding was already urging him to hurry up and go to the museum of the School of Geology. As for Dingding's chatter in his mind, Duan Yue really couldn't help it, so he took the buns and soy milk from the Third Canteen and headed towards the School of Geology.

  On the way, Duan Yue called Li Chunjiang, a fellow from the Geology Department, to take him out and visit the museum. Both Li Chunjiang and Duan Yue were examinees from Guangxi Province. They met on the train when they first came to Haicheng and sat face-to-face, which was quite interesting. Plus, both of them liked playing football and watching football games, so they quickly became good friends.

  Li Chunjiang was a cadre of the Student Union of the School of Geology, and it was nothing out of the ordinary for him to have the keys to the museum in his hand. Anyway, there were only some not-so-valuable minerals inside the museum.

  "Stone, I heard you've been living a pretty good life lately. What made you think of visiting this bachelor?" Li Chunjiang was slightly short in stature, but the muscles on his body and his wheat-colored skin added a lot to his score.

  The School of Geology is like the School of Agriculture, where there are always more wolves than meat. Many people don't even get a taste of romance until graduation, and that's completely normal. Recently, the news about Duan Lei hooking up with a freshman girl from the School of Literature has been spreading around in their circle. As soon as Li Chunjiang saw him, he started teasing Duan Lei about it.

  "I haven't even finished speaking, don't go shouting everywhere!" Duan Lei punched Li Chunjiang's shoulder and said: "Today, take me on a tour of your museum, and at noon, I'll treat you to six blessings iron plate beef!"

  "You didn't have a fever today, did you? How come you thought of going to the Geological Museum?" Li Chunjiang put his arm around Duan Yue's shoulder and touched his forehead with his left hand, feeling a bit strange.

  "I'm being serious!" Duan Yun brushed off Li Chunjiang's hand with some annoyance and said.

  "I get it!" Seeing Duan Lei like this, Li Chunjiang started guessing again and said: "Is it that you feel that your knowledge is not enough when communicating with Xiao Mei, so you come here to get some different information? You should have said it earlier, how would I know if you didn't say it?"

  Duan Yue helplessly covered his forehead and sighed, although Li Chunjiang looked honest and simple, he was actually a chatterbox like Tang Monk, it was simply unbearable.

  In Li Chunjiang's incessant chatter, Duan Yue finally followed him into the museum of the School of Geology.

  Because Haicheng University is newly built, the facilities of this museum are also quite good. The entrance is an automatic induction glass door with a modern atmosphere.

  After entering the museum, Duan Yue saw that the glass cabinets were filled with various mineral crystals, including red hematite, black magnetite, colorless transparent gypsum, and white jade, which made him a bit dizzy.

  "You go ahead and take your time, I'll just stand at the door and read a book!" Li Chunjiang pulled out a book from his backpack and said: "The places you don't understand have explanatory labels on the cabinet, they won't stump you."

  Li Chunjiang's words coincided with Duan Lei's meaning, he responded with a sound and quietly looked down along the number on the cabinet, while asking Dingding if he had found any traces of the energy crystal.

  Duan Yue almost every time he encountered a mineral, he would ask Dingding out loud, which made Dingding somewhat impatient.

  "Just keep moving forward slowly, don't ask so many questions. If I can sense the crystal's existence, I'll tell you!" Just now it was Duan Lian who couldn't stand Li Chunjiang's nagging, and now it's Dingding's turn to be annoyed by his verbosity. The role reversal is really fast.

  The museum has thousands of mineral specimens, the entire museum is three floors high and covers an area of 3,000 square meters. Duan Lei had to look at each one individually because Tingting's current sensing distance was only 30 centimeters.

  After wandering around for most of the day, among the thousands of mineral crystals, none of them gave Dangdang a hint of the existence of energy crystals. Duanduan's legs were sore and he was about to give up.

  "Slow down! I seem to feel a hint of energy breath!" At this time, the slightly excited voice of Dingding came out.

  Duan Lei, who was originally just mechanically moving his feet, suddenly became spirited and refreshed after hearing the words!
