126: The role of a miniature nuclear reactor

Upon seeing the crystalline body before them, glowing with a faint blue light like a giant ice cube, both Wang Jinze and Song Lan couldn't help but show a hint of confusion in their eyes.

Then, Wang Jinze couldn't help but ask, "What in the world is this thing?"

Lin Yuan simply introduced it: "A miniature nuclear reactor."

Upon hearing these words, Wang Jinze was startled and instinctively took a step back: "Nu... nuclear bomb?!"

Lin Yuan shook his head and explained, "To be precise, there's a difference between a nuclear reactor and a nuclear bomb."

“For example, a nuclear bomb is like gunpowder; it explodes as soon as it's ignited.”

“A nuclear reactor is more like coal; once ignited, it will burn slowly, continuously and gradually releasing heat.”

After listening to Lin Yuan's explanation, Wang Jinze finally felt a bit relieved, patting his chest: "You scared me. So, that means this thing shouldn't be dangerous, right?"

“Of course not.”

Song Lan, standing by, couldn't help but laugh: "Do you think if this thing were really that dangerous, the school would still keep it in the Treasure Vault?"

“You’re right.”

Wang Jinze scratched his head and said, a little awkwardly, "Sorry, I guess I was too nervous."

Then, Song Lan looked at Lin Yuan again and asked curiously, "But, speaking of which, why did you exchange for this thing?"

“It’s useful to me.”

Lin Yuan's answer was concise.

To be honest, it wasn't that he didn't trust Wang Jinze and Song Lan enough, but some things were too troublesome to explain, so he simply didn't explain them.

Moreover, this miniature nuclear reactor would become his trump card for some time to come, and the fewer people who knew its function, the better.

Just then, Zhao Shanhe also walked over from a distance.

After walking up to the three of them, Zhao Shanhe's gaze was quickly drawn to the mysterious blue crystal in Lin Yuan's hand, which resembled a Rubik's Cube.

“This is…”

“A miniature nuclear reactor.”

After hearing Lin Yuan's answer, Zhao Shanhe was stunned for a few seconds, then quickly reacted.

Lin Yuan had told him before that the reason he needed inferior beast soul crystals was actually to absorb their nuclear radiation.

This way, Zhao Shanhe naturally understood why Lin Yuan chose to exchange for this miniature nuclear reactor.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shanhe asked again, "How much Resource Quota did it cost?"

Lin Yuan replied, "Thirty million."

Zhao Shanhe nodded: "That's not expensive."

“However, besides you, probably no one else can use this thing.”

After hearing the conversation between Lin Yuan and Zhao Shanhe, Wang Jinze and Song Lan quickly realized that Zhao Shanhe must have known something, which was why he appeared so calm.

This implied that Lin Yuan had not lied to them.

The item he exchanged for with thirty million was indeed useful.

Wang Jinze grinned and said, "Everyone has their secrets. Don't worry, I definitely won't tell anyone about this."

“That’s good.”

Lin Yuan chuckled teasingly, "I thought you were going to sell my information for a high price."

“Come on.”

Wang Jinze pouted, "Do I look like someone without a bottom line?"

Zhao Shanhe, standing by, said cheerfully, "Alright, stop bickering. If we don't leave now, it'll be too late."

After Zhao Shanhe completed the procedures for taking the treasures out of storage, the three successfully left with the items they had exchanged from the Treasure Vault. Lin Yuan also promptly stored the miniature nuclear reactor in his storage badge.

Zhao Shanhe looked at the three and asked, "There shouldn't be anything else today. What are you planning to do next?"

Wang Jinze yawned lazily, "What else? I'm going back for a nap first."

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment, then said, "I'll probably go Cultivate."

Song Lan also nodded: "I'll probably do the same as Lin Yuan."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jinze's face instantly darkened.

Damn it, two 'Roll Kings'!

Can't they just relax and lie flat for a day like me?

Now my afternoon nap won't even feel good!

“Alright, since you all have plans, I won’t bother you.”

Zhao Shanhe said, "By the way, three days from now, on Friday morning at nine o'clock, remember to gather at the school gate."

“At that time, there will be a special car to take you to the Train Station.”

“Because this year's National Freshman Friendship Competition is being held at Yanjing Beast University, we must go to Yanjing first.”

“Understood.”

Everyone nodded.

Then, Lin Yuan asked, "Will you be going with us?"

“Nonsense, how could I miss such a grand event?”

Zhao Shanhe grinned and said, "Besides, I still have to personally Supervise you little rascals."

...After leaving the Treasure Vault, Lin Yuan went directly to the Training Hall and booked a High-Level Cultivation Room for himself.

Entering the cultivation room, Lin Yuan didn't rush to Cultivate. Instead, he first took out the miniature nuclear reactor from his storage badge.

To be honest, although he knew this miniature nuclear reactor was very important to him.

But for now, he still didn't know how to use this thing.

After hesitating for a moment, Lin Yuan directly held it in his hand, then tried to absorb the energy from this miniature nuclear reactor, just as he would absorb inferior beast soul crystals.

However, half a minute passed, and Lin Yuan didn't feel the slightest change, nor did he feel any energy flowing into his body.

Most importantly, the System also didn't prompt him that he had gained evolution points.

It seemed this method was destined not to work.

After pondering for a moment, Lin Yuan quickly realized that there were now only two paths before him.

The first path was to directly smash this miniature nuclear reactor, allowing the energy inside to leak out, thereby allowing him to absorb it.

But Lin Yuan himself was not sure whether this method would work.

In fact, such an operation also carried a certain degree of danger.

If this miniature nuclear reactor were to explode, or if a large amount of nuclear radiation were to leak out, it would cause immeasurable harm to Modu Beast University!

Lin Yuan naturally could not afford such a risk.

But if that were the case, Lin Yuan would only have a second path left.

That was... to directly swallow this miniature nuclear reactor into his body!

One must know that under the state of Beast Soul Fusion, his stomach was equivalent to a giant atomic reactor!

Even if a massive amount of nuclear energy were released, it could be completely absorbed by the atomic reactor!

And even if it failed, it would not cause any harm to the outside world!

Moreover, by doing so, the nuclear energy erupting from the miniature nuclear reactor would be concentrated within Lin Yuan's body, without any energy loss!

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan couldn't help but make a decision in his heart, and his gaze became resolute.

The next second, Lin Yuan took a deep breath and directly chose to perform Beast Soul Fusion!

Due to the limited volume of the High-Level Cultivation Room, Lin Yuan deliberately controlled his body size.

Then, he cast his gaze upon the miniature nuclear reactor before him.

Immediately after, Lin Yuan didn't hesitate at all, directly grabbing the miniature nuclear reactor with his giant claw and bringing it towards his mouth.

However, at this moment, a System prompt suddenly appeared before Lin Yuan.

[System Prompt: This item contains a large amount of nuclear energy. After consumption, your personal strength will be greatly enhanced in a short period. After the duration ends, the remaining nuclear energy in your body will automatically convert into evolution points.]

Looking at the System prompt before him, Lin Yuan couldn't help but be slightly stunned, even his movements paused.

It turned out that this miniature nuclear reactor was not, as he had thought, something that could directly grant a large amount of evolution points.

Instead, it was more like a BUFF potion in a game, capable of greatly increasing his strength in a short period!
