Global Game: AFK In The Zombie Apocalypse Game

Fang Heng also noticed the gems on the stone pillars, squatted down, and tried to pry off a small piece.

Mind science!

Fang Heng was surprised.

So this is a Mind Gem!

This wasn't the first time Fang Heng had found a Mind Gem.

The last time he got one was after killing a member of the Holy Church.

He didn't expect that the Mind Crystal the Holy Church was looking for and the Mind Gem were essentially the same thing.

Mind Gems are meticulously polished from Mind Crystals.

In that case...

Fang Heng couldn't help but do some mental calculations.

Would it be too much of a loss to directly submit the gem to the Holy Church?

Now that he had found the mine, why not use it himself first?

Thinking this, Fang Heng held the Mind Gem in his hand and gradually sank his mind power into the gem.

"Buzz..."

As mental power flowed, a stream of mind power gradually flowed out of the Mind Gem, flowing along Fang Heng's consciousness into the sea of consciousness, and was eventually completely absorbed by the sea of consciousness.

At this moment, Zaka and his group saw Fang Heng's actions and were a little surprised.

They saw Fang Heng holding the gem in one hand and closing his eyes, the gem in his hand gradually losing its luster, even visibly turning gray.

Until finally, the gray stone was covered with cracks, and with a 'bang', it exploded into fragments.

Realizing that the Mind Gem in his hand could no longer provide more power, Fang Heng slowly opened his eyes.

[Hint: Player has absorbed the power of the Mind Gem].

[Hint: The player's current Intermediate Mind Science level has been raised to LV: MAX, and experience points can no longer be gained. Please try to advance your Mind Science].

[Hint: The player has triggered the quest - Advanced Mind Science Advancement].

Quest Name: Advanced Mind Science Advancement.

Quest Description: In the process of pursuing the improvement of mind science abilities, you accidentally discovered a special gem that can purify your sea of consciousness and enhance your mind power. Perhaps you can use the power of the gem to improve your mind science rank.

Quest Requirements: Collect and absorb 10 Advanced Mind Gems* (rating evaluation must be at least S) and enter the Mind Storm state, trying to comprehend mind science abilities. If the comprehension fails, you need to consume the gems again for comprehension.

Advanced academic advancement quest!

The quest requires collecting ten S-rank Mind Gems.

Fang Heng pondered and raised his head, seeing that Zaka and the others were staring at him.

"It's nothing."

Fang Heng released the Mind Gem that had turned into debris in his hand and explained, "I have studied mind science. The power of this gem can be absorbed by mind science."

"Phew..." Zaka breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You scared me. I thought there was something wrong with this crystal."

"In short, now that the mission objective has been confirmed, let's collect the surrounding crystals and see."

"Okay, good."

Everyone immediately began to clean up the Mind Gems embedded in the surrounding scattered stone pillars.

In less than half an hour, the stone pillars in the surrounding area were carefully searched, and everyone gathered together again.

Fang Heng asked, "Everyone, have you found any high-level gems?"

The few people looked at each other, and Su Guantong took out an A-grade gem from her hand, "Most of what I found were E to C grade, this A-grade is the highest."

"It's the same for me, but the highest I have here is only a B-grade gem."

Zhat also nodded, "I found an A-grade gem."

"Okay."

Before, when they first entered the ship, they were studying equipment, while Su Guantong was alone studying contribution exchange items.

"There's an exchange in the ship?"

"Yes, that's right, I'm sure. The gem tempering and splitting technique needs to be exchanged through battlefield contribution points. In addition, there are Mind Science Mastery, advancement books, and the mechanical devices we saw, but these items have exchange limits."

"Do you remember the exchange price for the Tempering Technique?"

Su Guantong recalled carefully and nodded, "The Gem Tempering Technique is worth 2 million contribution points. Learning the skill requires mastering low-level mind science or intermediate alchemy as a prerequisite. Intermediate mind science advancement is worth 5 million contribution points, advanced is 15 million, master level is 100 million, grandmaster level is 5 billion, and there are no higher level skill book exchanges after that."

"Damn..." Zaka couldn't help but complain when he heard the price was so expensive, "An intermediate advancement book costs 5 million? So expensive? I think the Federation's setting of this exchange limit is useless. Where do you get so many contribution points to exchange for it?"

Fang Heng quickly flipped through the character panel. Currently, his personal battlefield contribution points have reached 6.22 million.

He can already meet the exchange conditions for the Gem Tempering Technique.

In addition, the batch of Mind Gems just collected can also be exchanged for a lot of contribution points.

Moreover, as time goes by, more than 200 Licker modification bodies that have infiltrated the desert underground are still constantly hunting burrowing sandworms, providing him with a steady stream of battlefield contribution points.

The current point of contention is, if the Holy Church has skill advancement books that can be directly exchanged, perhaps there is no need to learn the Gem Splitting Technique?

How to choose to maximize profits...

Seeing the look of contemplation on Fang Heng's face, Zhat couldn't help but ask, "Fang Heng, why don't we go back and exchange the skill book first?"

"Well... don't rush, wait a little longer."

Fang Heng hummed lightly, then looked down at the surveying instrument again and nodded, "Have you noticed that the remaining gems on the stone pillars have been collected, but the mapping instrument still shows that there is still a large part of the Mind Crystal remaining."

"But we have just checked, and the nearby stone pillars have been searched, and no ore has been found..."

Zaka was saying, when he suddenly realized something, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Are you saying the ore is set underground?"
