Space Odyssey from Abandoned Mining Space Station

Chapter 811 - 240: Intruder

Chen Ming searches online.

As his gaze glides over the myriad of options, he suddenly spots a custom psionic weapon option that Bai Quan helped him with recently.

Requires 1000 contribution points, materials provided by the user.

He wonders where Bai Quan, not being a psychic, managed to get this.

In addition to this customization, the website also offers the option to purchase unique weapons and equipment with psionic properties.

These items seem to all be sourced from the relics of another civilization.

For example, weapons that can convert spiritual energy fluctuations into something with physical damage properties.

And equipment that, through the pre-injection of spiritual power, uses special structures within the devices to create a layer of spiritual shield.

However, compared to these items that Chen Ming’s own abilities could substitute, he is more interested in another kind of melee weapon with the characteristics of the spiritual stone.

The melee weapon category is rather special; without adequate coordination, melee weapons could never surpass ranged weapons like guns.

But oddly enough, the prices of several melee weapons Chen Ming sees now are actually higher than some of the other psionic weapons.

Furthermore, these prices exceed not just weapons with mere psionic names and hype but actually serve as auxiliary, but truly weapons that transform spiritual energy fluctuations or spiritual power into means of output.

Chen Ming briefly checks the description; these melee weapons are also sourced from another civilization.

The description states that this isn’t about embedding a spiritual stone onto a psionic weapon, nor is it about grinding or crafting the spiritual stone into simple structured cold weapons.

Instead, the effect of the spiritual stone is completely integrated into the weapon.

This means the compatibility between the spiritual stone and the psionic materials making up the weapon is excellent.

Unlike Chen Ming simply embedding a Stone of Chaotic Words into his "Ming," achieving a truly unified effect.

If the user has great compatibility with this psionic weapon, the enhancement obtained from the psionic weapon would indeed increase significantly.

Even if the user’s compatibility with the properties of psionic weapon materials isn’t great, it would still be superior to other psionic weapons that freely embed spiritual stones.

Chen Ming’s own "Ming" initially provided a basic spiritual power enhancement of 1.1 times when he first acquired it.

After embedding the Stone of Chaotic Words, the effect increased to 1.3 times.

Overall, it doesn’t seem like much.

The reason is that the designer chose relatively neutral and balanced materials to manufacture Chen Ming’s psionic weapons, considering Chen Ming hadn’t undergone a systematic examination yet, his psionic nature remains unclear.

Therefore, the material choices are mostly based on materials with a broad applicability.

But since the nature of the Stone of Chaotic Words that Chen Ming embedded is quite intense, the cumulative enhancement of the two isn’t much.

If the psionic weapon itself were created using materials with extreme properties, or if Chen Ming chose to embed more ordinary spiritual stones, the similar nature spiritual stone cumulative effect would be quite unique.

This is only embedding; if one aims for perfect fusion, the material nature of both should be nearly identical.

The resultant enhancement effect on the user is imaginable.

That exaggerated enhancement alone is enough to provoke envy.

Moreover, a special aspect of this psionic melee weapon is its genuine incorporation of modern or even futuristic technology.

Because the melee weapon Chen Ming is interested in is called the Single-Molecule Crystal Gold Sword.

Single-Molecule means blade’s monomolecule.

And Crystal Gold is a special-level material.

Blade edges made from special-level materials have only one molecule, meaning the cutting strength would indeed be somewhat exaggerated.

"Wait a minute."

Chen Ming was so absorbed in contemplating its applications and capabilities that he almost forgot something.

Hasn’t his psionic capability already ventured into the microscopic realm?

He could already control materials at the atomic level, which means he could also create a Single-Molecule Sword.

Chen Ming raised a hand.

Metallic liquid solidified in mid-air, forming a sci-fi-styled longsword identical to the one displayed on the website.

Except for the different materials used, because Chen Ming didn’t have Crystal Gold, he could only substitute with other special-level materials.

And lacking nanorobots inside the hilt, there it was — a Single-Molecule Sword.

Bai Quan, who was organizing lesson plans nearby, immediately asked upon witnessing this scene, "What are you doing?"

"I’m checking if these things are worth the price."

"?"

Bai Quan put down the computer, walked beside Chen Ming, gazed from the terminal in Chen Ming’s hand to the fully formed sword, and said, "Then you made a Single-Molecule Sword yourself?"

"Yes, but I can’t achieve the fusion of psionic materials and a spiritual stone."

"And there seems to be another issue."

Chen Ming turned the sword’s tip downwards, directing it to the ground, then released it.

Instead of burying into the ground with only the hilt visible as initially expected, it remained fixed, slanting in place, piercing into the ground to roughly one-third of its length.
