Chapter 1281: Roommates (1/2)

“New theory, you say?” asked Jiang Fei.

“It’s hard to explain. In simple terms, there might be some kind of special resonance between Cores. Under special circumstances, Energy Cores can be made to collide with each other. This will act as a catalyst for the creation of a new form. But it’s just a theory and I am unsure of what the product of the collision would even be,” elaborated 0541.

“Any kind of Cores?” asked Jiang Fei spiritedly.

He had witnessed the collision of two Cores of Will to produce a new kind of Core, which was currently residing in his mind. He wondered if the process required the same kind of Cores or would a combination of different kinds work too?

Jiang Fei’s Core of Will was born out of really special circumstances. Each planetary system could only house one set of different attribute Energy Cores. If another was born, like in Jiang Fei’s case, the new one would be sent away by itself.

The fusion of two Cores of the same type was either artificially induced or almost never happened. But if 0541’s theory could work with two different types of Cores, the possibility of it happening would be even lower.

It would be so much simpler since a planetary system could house up to five different kinds of Energy Cores. There are probably an infinite number of planetary systems, but finding two of the same kind would be harder than finding another Core of Will.

The one that Jiang Fei owned was the product of a miracle with a possibility so low that it may as well have not happened. 0541 had only included it into his thought process out of desperation, to give Jiang Fei an escape route from Akatziris.

“Yeah ok, I’ll keep an eye out for other Cores. You do you,” said Jiang Fei nonchalantly.

He practically had zero power in Redstone, and was just a trainee at that. He had no resources, no manpower, and worst of all, nobody he could trust to relay information.

…

While Jiang Fei and 0541 were exchanging information about Redstone, a muffled conversation could be heard coming from outside the room.

Just as Jiang Fei was about to get off his bed, the door slid open and a slightly larger being came in. Other than his four arms, the rest of his physique was rather humanoid. More importantly, he was easy on the eyes and not overly menacing.

“It’s just a newcomer. We’ll get them every now and then,” said another being as he entered the room. He too had a certain humanoid aspect, but he also had the threatening head and appearance of an alligator.

The two were speaking to each other in their own mother tongue but what Jiang Fei heard from his earpiece was fluent Mandarin. Thanks to it, he at least wouldn’t have to deal with communication problems.

Jiang Fei jumped up from his bed. It would be rude to just stay there when his seniors had just returned from their training.

“Hello, I’m Jiang Fei. The new recruit,” said Jiang Fei, introducing himself.

“I’m Vorland. I’m a Vulcan,” said the first person, reaching out one of his four hands to greet Jiang Fei.

“Hmph. He’s trash! Look at his combat strength, it’s not even 100,000!” said the alligator man, snorting condescendingly.

“Yeesh…” Jiang Fei shrunk away from alligator guy’s hostility.

Vorland came to Jiang Fei’s side and explained his roommate’s nasty behavior.

“Don’t mind him. He’s Gaxia, a Decronian. His entire race behaves that way. They lack manners and only respect those with strength, instead of judging someone based on their character.”
