Chapter 122: Chapter 103: The Most Special Extraordinary Contactor

The Blue Stone Ball was completely drained.

It couldn’t take the strain.

It cracked right then and there.

Gu Qing and the staff member were both stunned.

’What?! How did this stone ball crack?!’

Gu Qing was the first to snap out of it. He turned to the staff member beside him.

"This stone ball..."

Before he could finish his sentence...

The staff member, a beat slower to react, started to panic.

"I’m screwed, I’m so screwed!"

"The stone ball cracked, and I’m next!"

"My supervisor is going to kill me!"

The staff member was in a total panic, pacing back and forth in the warehouse.

Gu Qing tried to calm him down. "Don’t panic. It’s not a big deal. Neither of us did anything against the rules. The stone ball cracked on its own, so they can’t blame it on us."

Hearing that, the staff member thought it made sense and calmed down considerably.

He quickly took out his phone to call his direct supervisor, explaining in detail how the stone ball had just suddenly cracked.

Gu Qing thought for a moment and also pulled out his phone to contact Steward Tian and tell him what had happened.

With something this major, he had to call the head of his own department over to avoid being scapegoated by someone from another department later.

The chances of that were slim, but it was better to be safe than sorry.

So, it was better to handle things cautiously.

A few moments later, the warehouse manager arrived on the scene.

He was a middle-aged man with long hair, a bit of stubble, and rather handsome features.

The warehouse manager had just arrived when Steward Tian hurried over right behind him.

The two supervisors greeted each other familiarly, then walked over to the cracked Blue Stone Ball to see what was going on.

After a thorough inspection...

The warehouse manager breathed a sigh of relief. "Good. It’s just a small crack. Not a big problem. With a minor repair, it’ll be usable again."

After saying that, he took out his phone, pulled up the warehouse’s surveillance footage, and watched it carefully to verify whether Gu Qing and the staff member had done anything against regulations.

After confirming there were no violations, he proceeded to check the stone ball’s recent usage data.

The data showed that a massive amount of Extraordinary Power had been absorbed from the ball in an extremely short period.

Seeing this, the warehouse manager figured out why the stone ball had cracked.

He said to the three people beside him:

"The reason the stone ball cracked is that the load from outputting Extraordinary Power was too great. The material of the ball itself couldn’t withstand it."

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Gu Qing.

"In other words, this prospective newcomer named Gu Qing just absorbed Spiritual Extraordinary Power so fast that he basically sucked the ball until it cracked."

Hearing this, surprise, followed by confusion, appeared on Steward Tian’s face.

"But Gu Qing is just an Extraordinary Contactor and hasn’t awakened any abilities. How can he absorb Spiritual Extraordinary Power so quickly?" Steward Tian asked with a slight frown.

The warehouse manager threw up his hands. "This is the first time I’ve ever encountered a situation like this. I have no idea what’s going on either."

"But truth is discovered through practice. Let’s run a little test. We might be able to figure out the principle behind this."

The words had barely left his mouth when he looked at the staff member and said, "Xiaochen, go to the storeroom and get a new Blue Stone Ball."

"Yes, sir."

The staff member acknowledged the order and hurried toward the storeroom in the back of the warehouse.

The warehouse manager turned to Gu Qing and said calmly, "Here, put your hand on the red stone ball. I want to see how fast you absorb Qi Blood Type Extraordinary Power."

’Sweet!’

’Another chance to get some free Extraordinary Resources!’

’What a score!’

Gu Qing was ecstatic on the inside, but he just nodded calmly and said,

"Alright."

With that, he walked over and stopped in front of the red stone ball.

He reached out and placed his right hand on it.

The instant his palm touched the surface, a warm current surged from the sphere, spreading from his hand throughout his entire body.

In the next second, Gu Qing felt his whole body fill with power.

At the same time, he grew so warm that he began to sweat.

For the next several dozen seconds, he remained in this state.

The intense heat he felt didn’t increase.

This process was completely different from when he had touched the Blue Stone Ball.

When he’d touched the Blue Stone Ball before, the cool sensation had grown stronger and stronger, making him tremble with how good it felt.

"That’s enough. You can take your hand away."

The warehouse manager observed for a full minute before telling Gu Qing to remove his hand from the red stone ball.

Gu Qing reluctantly withdrew his hand.

Just then, the staff member who had left returned, carrying a new Blue Stone Ball.

The warehouse manager said to him,

"Swap in the new Blue Stone Ball. Take the old one to my office for now. I’ll repair it tonight when I have time."

"Yes, sir."

The staff member acknowledged the order, deftly swapped in the new Blue Stone Ball, then carried the old one to the warehouse manager’s office.

The warehouse manager looked at Gu Qing and said, "Put your hand on the Blue Stone Ball. Let me see how fast you absorb Spiritual Extraordinary Power."

As soon as Gu Qing heard this, he immediately reached out and placed his right hand on the Blue Stone Ball.

’It’s a free resource. It’d be a waste not to take it.’

The moment his palm touched the surface, a cool current surged from the sphere, instantly sweeping through his entire body.

This coolness grew steadily more intense with time.

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

"Hiss!"

Gu Qing couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath. His body trembled uncontrollably, numb with pleasure.

"VMMMMMM—"

"CRACK!"

After a violent tremor...

The Blue Stone Ball cracked.

Seeing this, the warehouse manager personally went to the storeroom, brought out three new Blue Stone Balls, and swapped out the cracked one.
