Chapter 121: Chapter 102: Gu Qing’s Special Constitution

Gu Qing took his leave and walked briskly toward the warehouse.

Xu Feng was still waiting in the parking lot, so he needed to hurry to the warehouse, redeem his reward, and leave.

...

「In front of the warehouse.」

Gu Qing took out his phone, pulled up the authorization credential that Steward Tian had just approved, and handed it to a staff member for verification.

After confirming there were no issues, the staff member led Gu Qing into the warehouse to select his reward.

Once inside, Gu Qing didn’t waste time browsing and walked straight toward an area filled with E-Level rewards.

He scanned the area quickly, his gaze ultimately landing on two stone balls before him.

The two stone balls, one red and one blue, were each the size of a basketball, their surfaces covered in mysterious patterns.

The description for the red stone ball read: Qi Blood Type Extraordinary Power Converter. Place both hands on the surface of the ball to absorb the Extraordinary Power within.

The description for the Blue Stone Ball read: Spiritual Extraordinary Power Converter. Place both hands on the surface of the ball to absorb the Extraordinary Power within.

After reading the descriptions beneath the two stone balls, Gu Qing turned to the staff member beside him and asked politely,

"Hello. Are these two stone balls what you’d call Extraordinary items? Can I just touch them to gain Extraordinary Power and get stronger?"

"That’s right."

The staff member nodded and patiently explained to Gu Qing, "These two stone balls are classic examples of Extraordinary containers. They can store Extraordinary Power."

"The experts of the Night Court periodically transfer Extraordinary Power into these two spheres for the Night Court’s Extraordinary Contactors to absorb and grow stronger."

...

Gu Qing asked, "Can the experts transfer Extraordinary Power directly to the Extraordinary Contactors?"

The staff member shook his head. "No, there would be a rejection effect. The power has to be converted by these spheres first before the Extraordinary Contactors can absorb it."

He then added with a smile, "I know what you’re thinking."

"You’re probably thinking that Contactors could just line up at the warehouse every day to absorb Extraordinary Power. When it’s empty, have the experts ’recharge’ it, and then keep absorbing. That way, we could mass-produce top-tier Extraordinary Contactors."

"It’s not that simple. The containers get damaged with overuse, so mass production is impossible."

"Besides, even if they could absorb continuously, the Contactors can’t take in that much."

"If you absorb too much Qi Blood Type Extraordinary Power in a short time, you could explode and die. Absorb too much Spiritual Extraordinary Power, and you could go insane."

"You can only absorb a little at a time and then spend a long while slowly refining it."

With that, the staff member prompted him, "If you want to choose this stone ball as your reward, you can place your hand on it now for one minute. How much you can absorb will depend on your constitution."

Gu Qing said, "In that case, I’ll choose this Blue Stone Ball."

As things stood, he felt a greater need to increase his Spiritual Strength.

Otherwise, any random Fox Woman could use a Charm Technique to affect him.

Although he hadn’t fallen for the charm tonight, he had still been affected to some degree.

The staff member said, "The Spirit Type Extraordinary Power is harder to absorb. You might not absorb much in a minute. Are you sure?"

Gu Qing nodded. "Yes, I’m sure."

The staff member replied, "Alright, go ahead and place your hand on it."

Gu Qing extended his right hand, pressing his palm and fingers flat against the sphere’s surface.

The moment his palm touched the sphere, a cool current surged from its surface, sweeping up his arm and through his entire body.

In that instant, Gu Qing felt his spirits soar, and all his fatigue was swept away.

’This Spiritual Extraordinary Power isn’t hard to absorb at all.’

’It feels as easy as drinking water.’

Puzzled, Gu Qing continued to absorb the Spiritual Extraordinary Power that was constantly surging from the blue sphere.

The cool current grew stronger and stronger.

In just a few seconds, it grew from a small stream into a mighty river, flooding madly into Gu Qing’s body.

Gu Qing felt like he couldn’t take much more, and his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

But it wasn’t unpleasant. In fact, it felt incredible.

So incredible he trembled all over.

"HUMMMMM—"

Perhaps because the Extraordinary Power was surging out too fiercely, the stone ball was also vibrating violently.

"You’re absorbing it that fast?"

The staff member at his side was astonished. "I’ve worked in this warehouse for three years, and this is the first time I’ve ever seen an Extraordinary Contactor so compatible with Spiritual Extraordinary Power."

"R-Really? F-For... real?"

Gu Qing was still trembling so hard that even his voice shook as he spoke.

The staff member didn’t answer, his eyes fixed on the Blue Stone Ball. He felt the sphere was shaking too violently, and a hint of worry creased his brow.

’It’s vibrating so intensely. It’s not going to break, is it?’

Just as the staff member had that thought...

"CRACK!"

The sound of something hard cracking echoed.

The Blue Stone Ball pressed against Gu Qing’s palm.

Suddenly, a crack split across its surface.
