"Hmm~"
"Not bad."
Putting the ring on his left index finger and recognizing it with a drop of blood, Michael immediately sensed the space, which was not large but not small either.
Wearing his glasses, with a thought, he threw the mask and hat inside.
He sensed that the hat and mask had indeed appeared in the space, which was very magical.
"A thousand cubic meters of space, with a length, width, and height of only ten meters."
"Fortunately, it was directly materialized by the mutated gem, so its shape can be adjusted according to my will, instead of being fixed as a cube."
"It cost ten thousand points of energy to materialize."
"So, ten points of energy per cubic meter?"
"Hiss!!!"
"That means twenty recoverable corpses."
"Or even just five living people?"
"Can be exchanged for a one-cubic-meter spatial ring?"
Michael was immediately dumbfounded at the thought!
Is it that cheap?
One cubic meter spatial ring = twenty recoverable corpses = five living people?
Michael could fully imagine that if the cost of creating a one-cubic-meter spatial ring were to spread, then the human trafficking market would inevitably revive.
Even a global war would immediately ensue!
For no other reason than to exchange people for treasures!
Michael completely believed that for those 'man-eating' capitalists, this was something they were perfectly capable of doing!
"Hmm!"
"I'm scared, I'm scared!"
"This matter must not be leaked!"
"I'd die before I say it! Can't say it! Can't say it!"
Thinking of these consequences, Michael immediately shivered.
Terrifying! Simply terrifying! Truly terrifying!
..."Alas~"
"Energy is always insufficient!"
"This is just materializing a one-thousand-cubic-meter spatial ring."
"If I wanted a bigger one, wouldn't that be terrifying?"
Looking at the remaining 24,161 points of energy, Michael started complaining about being poor.
He was truly poor!
He couldn't even materialize a second spatial ability.
So sad~~
..."Hmm, now, let's test the absorption rate of sunlight by my strengthened body!" Looking up at the sky, Michael squinted, watching the round Sun in the sky.
"Huh?"
"Can I really stare directly at the Sun?"
Michael, who was originally going to raise his hand to block it, suddenly seemed to discover something.
Not only did he not block it with his hand, but his eyes were wide open, staring intently at the Sun.
But!
Completely unlike when he was an ordinary person, Michael's eyes now felt no stinging sensation at all; in fact, he even found the sunlight shining on his eyeballs quite comfortable.
Comfortable?
Michael blinked. Can staring directly at the Sun be comfortable?
"Ah~"
"I'm really not an ordinary person anymore!"
"According to the powerful rule of U.S. dramas, the greater the ability, the richer one is!"
"Should I, brother, open a company next?"
"Make a little money, buy some nuclear materials, let the mutated gem create a nuclear energy release controller, and devour energy in big gulps?"
"Wow, that feeling, it would be incredibly awesome!"
Thinking of the good parts, Michael's mouth was watering.
"Wait a minute!"
"Brother is here to test the sunlight absorption rate."
"Opening a company or whatever can wait!"
..."Start!"
Teleporting to a location unaffected by the previous test.
Completely ignoring the scorching temperature of the sand, Michael lay down on the sand, forming the shape of the character 'too' (tài, meaning 'great' or 'too').
Michael directly communicated with the mutated gem to begin absorbing sunlight.
Hmm?
It seems something strange has gotten in?
"Mmm, so good!"
"Awesome! So awesome!"
As a large amount of energy surged into his body, Michael immediately discarded the thought that had just arisen, humming comfortably.
It should be known that before this, the energy ball Michael threw out had almost completely drained the energy he inherently possessed.
Now, letting go and absorbing was like a long drought meeting sweet rain, dry wood meeting a fierce fire, falling in love with a piece of wood, can't even smell it... Wait, it seems something else got mixed in again?
"Oh~ Oh oh~~~"
"This efficiency really changes with the strength of the body!"
"Before, sunbathing for an hour was unbearable, not to mention extremely slow, only three points of energy per hour!"
"Hoo hoo~"
"Now it's incredible!"
"Even if the body retains some energy, it can actually gain one point per minute?"
"Doesn't that mean when the body has sufficient energy, it can completely exceed one point per minute, reaching two points per minute? Or even more?"
"Hmm, I'll have to try that later!"
"For now~"
"Let's enjoy it properly first!"
Michael closed his eyes, humming a song, feeling truly wonderful.
However, as he lay there, the mental fatigue from the two previous body enhancements slowly caused Michael to gradually fall asleep.
Whoosh~~~
+1
Whoosh~~~
+1
Whoosh~
+1
Since Michael had not given the command to stop energy absorption, the mutated gem naturally continued to absorb the sunlight shining on Michael.
Naturally, the energy also followed Michael's breathing, slowly accumulating point by point.
...Bang~~~
After an unknown amount of time, Michael was startled awake by a sonic boom.
Michael thought some organization had discovered him, and disregarding his daze, he quickly scrambled to his feet and guardedly scanned his surroundings.
However, apart from the swaying heat waves, there was no sign of anyone.
"Did I have a nightmare?"
"But if it was a nightmare, why do I have no recollection of it at all?"
Michael lowered his guard and scratched his head. "Phew~"
"Forget it, let's see how much energy has recovered~"
"The Sun is almost setting~"
"I didn't expect to sleep for so long?"
He looked at the sky and realized that nearly six hours had passed.
When he teleported from the American Federation, it was deep night there, and noon here.
Now it was almost evening here, so it must be almost dawn in the American Federation~
Michael withdrew his consciousness back into his mind to check his energy balance.
"Huh?"
"That much?"
"24789 energy points?"
"I absorbed 628 energy points during these six hours of sleep?"
"Hiss!!!"
Michael took a deep breath!
"It really surged much more than before!"
"And this is just the most basic absorption from sunlight!"
"If I used some concentrating devices, how terrifying would that be?"
