Dawn Spider

Chapter 207 Meditation Cushion (Part 1)

"Alas!"

"This thing can levitate on its own!"

"Is it not broken?"

"Not broken?"

"Then wouldn't we be..."

"Did we really strike gold this time?"

"..."

In human civilization, 'meditation cushions' are the most commonly used daily necessities of Force warriors, and hundreds have been unearthed from the ruins.

Everything is bad.

Everyone has heard of this thing, and knows a little about it. In the southern continent, some insects have dug up well-preserved and usable ones, which they named 'Force Convergence Shield'.

This item can assist in breakthrough evolution and is one of the most valuable treasures found in the ruins so far.

"It doesn't seem to be broken..."

Golden-haired man.

"Everyone, please calm down and step back. Let me give it a try."

Jin waved his claws in greeting.

The insects that had formed a circle quickly retreated and stood further away.

Jin focused his mind and controlled the meditation cushion to activate its storage ability. With a gentle rotation, a beam of white light shone down, causing a barely perceptible ripple in the space, and the five original crystals placed on the ground disappeared.

Through the contractual relationship, Jin clearly sensed that the meditation cushion, which had been in a state of shutdown due to energy depletion, had been fully activated.

Jin Yi moved again, shifting the meditation cushion horizontally until it hovered in front of him. White light rose, forming a screen with a long string of black characters:

【Mode Settings】

[Smart Brain Access]

[Holographic projection subtitles]

[Permission Sharing and Identification]

【Equipment Status】

【Equipment Parameters】

[Manufacturer Information and After-Sales Service]

……

"!!!"

"It can absorb the original crystal!"

"It's still intact!"

"And those light screens too!"

"There are characters from an alien civilization on it!"

"What about the functionality?"

"Jin, quickly try out its functions!"

The insects were in an uproar, and they all swarmed over again.

"..."

"Everyone, please be patient. Let me take a look first..."

Jin pretended to be confused, feigning ignorance and bewilderment.

When something is unfamiliar to you, you can't immediately understand it or know how to use it.

Golden Eight Spider Eyes stared intently at the screen, flashing white light, as if its brain was working hard and concentrating on thinking. After a long while, seeing that the surrounding insects were getting a little impatient, it slowly raised its claws and tapped the screen.

Ignore everything else and open [Mode Settings].

Three options pop up below:

Meditation Practice

[Breakthrough in Realm]

[Basic Settings]

Click on [Basic Settings]

Three more options popped up:

【Ice Soul Extreme Realm】

[Force Concentration]

[Force Shield]

"Ice Soul Extreme Realm?"

A glint flashed in Jin's eyes.

Just from the literal meaning, you can tell that this meditation cushion was custom-made by a Force warrior who is proficient in water and ice-type abilities. It comes with auxiliary effects that can initially convert ordinary Force into water and ice-type Force, increase the rate of absorption and conversion of Force energy, and thus improve meditation efficiency.

In the natural pantheon, Zerg warriors evolve by consuming Force food, so they have no need for this function.

Click to select [Force Concentration]

Below are two rows of values:
[2.1], [2.2], [2.3]...

[3.1], [3.2], [3.3]...

The highest value reached was [3.8].

The concentration of astral force under the golden feet may be less than level 0.5, and the insufficient part needs to be replenished by consuming primal crystal force.

Jin cautiously chose the lowest tier, [2.1].

Then click on [Force Shield]

Two options pop up:

Meditation Practice

[Breakthrough in Realm]

Jin chooses [meditation practice]

Four more options popped up:

[Mental Barrier]

Visual barrier Auditory barrier

Frost Barrier

【Space Customization】

Jin randomly clicked on a [Mental Barrier]

Two options will pop up: [On] and [Off]

The "On" option was highlighted, indicating that the previous owner had it set to "On." Jin thought for a moment and then clicked "Off."

Click on [Visual Barrier], [Audio Barrier], and [Frost Barrier] in turn to check; all of them are in the "on" state.

Using these functions requires consuming Force, which is completely unnecessary for daily meditation.

Jin clicked quickly and closed them all.

There's also a "Customize Space" feature; clicking it will bring up two options:

[Hemispherical/Spherical Space]

[Customizable Spatial Radius]

Gold Selection: [Hemispherical Space]

I glanced at the insects forming a circle and set the distance to 10 meters.

Complete the most important settings.
He meticulously examined each setting, carefully analyzing and interpreting them before finally adjusting and returning to the main page.

Turn off the holographic projection.

Through a contractual relationship and mental control, the [Meditation Practice] function is activated.

The meditation cushion slowly rises, shifts, and hovers 10 meters above the golden head. A transparent barrier is projected, spreading along the ground and closing to form a hemispherical space with a radius of 10 meters.

It resembles a transparent bubble.

The cunning insect immediately raised its claw and tried to poke the barrier. The barrier trembled slightly, but it did not break.

This is a one-way barrier; the Force can only enter, not exit. Other life forms and matter are completely blocked, unable to enter or exit.

A vast amount of primal force was released from the meditation cushion, and the concentration of primal force in the hemispherical space continued to rise, soon reaching an extremely high concentration that left the insects speechless.

With this concentration of Force, there shouldn't be any issues with molting and evolution failing due to insufficient Force supply, right?

It really is as amazing as the legends say!
A truly practical and invaluable treasure from another race!
"..."

For the first time, all the insects fell silent.

After a long period of contemplation, Jin said:

"Alright. Confirmed. The item is intact! We've unearthed a real treasure this time."

"Everyone, get moving quickly, clear out the ruins, and see if there's anything else of value."

"As for this 'Force Convergence Shield,' I'll keep it for now. There are definitely more ruins in this area. Let's dig them out first, and then we'll discuss how to distribute them based on the final harvest."

After speaking, he focused his mind, and the transparent shield cast by the meditation cushion disappeared, while the concentrated high-altitude power instantly exploded.

Jin felt a pang of heartache for a second, then waved his paw vigorously, urging, "Everyone, hurry up!"

"Ok!"

"Boss Jin is awesome!"

"Work."

"Get to work!"

"This ruin is very large; there must be other good things inside!"

"Lord Jin Nan, sense carefully and see if there's an underground treasure vault!"

"..."

The insects snapped out of their daze, cheered, and began to work.

Jin also joined in, carefully examining the area.

They actually found two 'treasure troves'.

A warehouse located on the ground, storing Force armor and weapons, was severely damaged.

A storage box containing 1000 Primal Crystals was found underground, but unfortunately, it was all empty.

In addition, there are all sorts of everyday gadgets.

After a quick tidying up,

Continue digging north along the road.

He also instructed the team that if they found a fork in the road, they should choose the east side first.

After explaining everything, Jin returned to the top floor of the luxury villa, took out the meditation cushion again, and reset it, adjusting the space to the minimum value of '5 meters'.

Mind control activated.

The meditation cushion floats up and hovers above the head, 5 meters off the ground, casting down a hemispherical barrier with a radius of 5 meters, and then the Force is released.

The ultra-high altitude force concentration within the barrier quickly reached level 2.1.

Jin calmed his mind and entered a meditative state.

After about half a day,

Put away the meditation cushion, turn on the holographic screen, and check the device status: 4/5000000
5000000 represents the maximum capacity of the meditation cushion's dimensional space, which can hold up to 500 million primal crystals or primal stones. It belongs to the top-tier, immortal-grade meditation cushion.

4 represents the current energy balance; there are 4 original crystals remaining.

The smallest unit is the 'primary crystal', which has no decimal point. More specific testing will require a longer period of time.

Jin Xintou already has some money.

The meditation cushion creates a 2.1-level ultra-high concentration of primal force environment, which can accelerate the absorption rate of primal force and thus increase the meditation speed. Currently, this effect is not obvious, but as the user evolves to the Mountain Lord, Lord, and Spider King levels, with the demand for primal force increasing progressively, and their own rate of converting spatial primal force increases, the effects of the meditation cushion will gradually become apparent.

However, this comes at a cost: the barrier that binds the Force will continuously consume energy, and the consumption is not low.

"At the advanced warrior stage, it's fine to use the Flame Spider Warrior's built-in sucking stomach to absorb the original crystals; it's thrifty and economical."

"After reaching the Mountain Lord level, if you are wealthy enough, using a meditation cushion will definitely be the best way to enhance the effect."

"So, the reward settings for the challenge arena teleported by the Space-Time Cube were originally like this? Or did our human ancestors predict that after I reached the Mountain Lord level, I would need a meditation futon to assist me in strengthening and improving my spatial abilities?"

"I still need Primal Crystals! Are there more Primal Crystal rewards later? What about the Divine Seed? Are there any more? I don't have many challenge opportunities left~"

Jin Xin pondered and speculated.

As he put away his meditation cushion and prepared to go downstairs to inspect the construction site, he suddenly heard Lord Jin Nan's spiritual voice calling out from afar:

"Mr. Jin, Mr. Jin, come quick! It's another huge ruin!"
