Chapter 1977 - Dark Water Clover (1/2)
”Gasp!”
I was wallowing in disappointment as I opened one storage compartment after another found nothing that I needed when I heard the gasp from Elina and immediately appeared beside her with my heart beating excitedly.
”What did you find?” I asked as I appeared beside her, ”This,” She said, pointing at the clover-leaf, which looked to be made of black water with stars twinkling on it.
”Dark Water Clover,” I said slowly with wonder in my eyes.
The Dark water clover is an extremly rare resource that even old monsters will fight for; it is a resource at the same grade as the divine crystals and the resin I am searching for, but it is not the resource that I could use for my core formation.
”You don't have to feel sad, Micheal; while the dark water clover is not what you need, but it is the same level as the divine crystal, and we could exchange it for the resource we need, and we already have the person who had asked for the resource of this element and grade,” Elina said consolingly.
Her words did lift my mood, especially the requirement of that old monsters.
It is not just the younger people who had posted out the requirements for the resources they need; the old monsters have done the same, though their list is available to the people like the teacher and councilmembers, we are able to get to look at the list, and dark water clover fits the criteria of the resources that old monsters were asking.
”We might not even have to exchange it; we might the divine crystals or resin in this lab or the other labs we will scour; we are not down on our luck yet,” Elina said.
”Thanks,” I said and went back to my side and again started checking the compartments with the greater hope, but all I got the disappointment, nor I or elina had found the divine crystal or resin I needed; we had not even found a second resource as the same quality as the black water clover.
With all the compartments searched, we moved to the artifacts and equipment. We started with the compartments themselves; they are the valuable storing artifacts that preserve the resources for thousands of years without any loss.
They are also not without drawbacks; operating them requires a huge amount of energy. Currently, they are connected to the power formation of this place; once taken, we will have to place them into different power formations.
It is quite an expense, but I am academy will bear it without any problem; seeing its power requirements, it will be easily able to connect to the power system of the academy.
After the compartments, I started on the other artifacts; some of them were easy; I just had to touch them, and they will be transported to my storage, but some others were a little complicated, there were some formations I had to break and pipes I had to destroy before I was able to move the machine.
While I am wasting time and effort on these artifacts and machines, they will be useful for the academy, and for it, I could afford to spend some time.
