Hyperdimensional Harem Exploration Project

In the messy pile of parts, he received several system reminders. By contacting the technological products, he unlocked the corresponding production technology.

[RMA70 Mineral Collection Technology] RMA70 is a naturally complex polyhedral mineral that is very sensitive to Originium techniques and has excellent conduction effects. A component that can enhance the performance of the treatment unit

[Alien Iron Refining Technology] A by-product of large-scale metal raw material processing, it is often used in material metal smelting and periodic reprocessing due to its strong plasticity and difficulty in oxidation. Those melee staffs that can be used to cast spells from a distance or to hit people up close are basically processed with exotic iron materials.

.........

Xu Ya, who had almost finished shopping, returned to his team with a wide variety of things. At a glance, he could see Mudstone, who was always very conspicuous in her bulky and huge armor, standing there, looking at the wilderness in the distance motionlessly.

"Mud Rock, what are you doing there?"

He took the initiative to walk over and patted Mudstone on the shoulder.

"I was looking at the scenery in the distance. It was such a desolate scene. I thought our fate would be to stay on this land forever, but I didn't expect there would be a second, unimaginable choice."

Mudstone seemed to be lamenting that life in the small garden world was too plain and warm, like a dream.

But now that she was back on Terra and looking at the familiar scenery, she felt a sense of unreality that woke her up from her daydream.

"Okay, don't think too much. By the way, I prepared a gift for you! Let's see how it goes."

Xu Ya did not intend to let the Sarkaz girl indulge in memories. People have to move on.

So he took out the small clay doll he had bought from his pocket and placed it in Mudstone's palm.

“Thank you, I like this one very much.”

Mudstone carefully took the craftwork, and it was obvious that she really took good care of it, because the dull sound covered by the mask became softer.

After chatting with Mud Rock for a while, Xu Ya returned to the truck without disturbing her work and started studying new functions and new toys.

This staff can still be used, but many of its precious parts and decorations have been removed, leaving only the bare core.

"Does anyone know how to work this thing? I want to make this staff work again."

He was not very familiar with Originium products, and when he tried to sense the Originium energy inside, there was no movement at all, so he asked the warlocks in the Mudstone Team for advice.

"Hey, Doctor, you don't know how to use this? You know such amazing Originium skills."

Until now, other Sarkaz, except Mudstone, still naively believed that Xu Ya's golden finger was some magical Originium skill. Therefore, they were surprised that Xu Ya knew nothing about Originium creations.

"Ah ha ha...."

"Then leave it to me. I'm familiar with the Leitania-shaped staff." The carefree Sarkaz didn't continue to ask about other people's secrets. A Sarkaz wearing half-body armor, who looked more like a warrior than a warlock, took the staff. The shapes of the spellcasting units are varied. The long-handled spellcasting unit is the most traditional and common type, so it is also easy to disassemble and reassemble. "It's a good staff, made of xenometal blocks, and equipped with a suppression device. But many parts have been disassembled and the suppressor is also broken... Wow, Doctor, you picked up a treasure, there is actually a storage unit hidden inside! It seems that the merchant who sold you this staff completely missed it, haha!"

Ordinary staffs can only strengthen and assist the spells of warlocks with their own Originium skills, but devices like this, like a magician's ring, which can store Originium circuits in advance to record the skills of warlocks, are much rarer. The form and power of the Originium skills cast by such a device are relatively limited, but it is quite convenient to use.

However, such a storage device is quite expensive, and the price of the circuit device is no less than the other parts of the staff.

Maybe it was because it was too high-end, so the merchants who collected it just collected it as a work of art for the nobility, and did not discover this little secret.

The Sarkaz Warlock sorted out the staff for a while, added another pure source stone, removed the broken limiter, and tried to operate it.

A small ball of black mist emanated from the top of the staff and quickly enveloped the caster, and his figure suddenly became blurred.

"A spell very suitable for assassins."

The warlock commented.

"Try it for me."

Xu Ya was attracted by this phenomenon that could be called "magic", and tried to activate the staff himself. This time he felt the changes in his body, the heat boiling inside his body, the heat flow circulated like the internal force in martial arts, and then easily flowed into the staff as an extension of his arm.

With the unrestrained infusion, the source stone on the top of the staff emitted an enchanting light, and then darkness fell, and thick black smoke-like gas continued to emerge.

"'Sarkaz Swear', stop it, Doctor. You're overloading the staff! Watch out!"

"Ahem. Damn it, I shouldn't have removed the limiter!"

In the dark, Sarkaz panicked and reminded Xu Ya that something had happened.

Realizing that something was wrong, Xu Ya panicked and let go of his staff and threw it aside, stopping the spell. Then a gust of wind blew past, dispersing the black smoke.

"What are you doing?! You made such a big noise, I thought we were being attacked."

"You warlocks are really... it's fine if you touch dangerous things you are not familiar with, but don't involve the doctor. He is not as tough as you!"

At this time, the Sarkaz who were resting in other places saw the black smoke coming out and rushed over immediately, using the wind source stone technique to disperse the black fog. This ended the problem caused by the wrong use of the staff. Mudstone also rushed over worriedly, and then he relaxed after hearing the explanation of Xu Ya and other Sarkaz who were studying the staff together.

"Are you feeling unwell?"

Mud Rock looked at Xu Ya and showed concern for him immediately.

"It's okay. I just used the staff out of curiosity. I didn't expect anything to go wrong. I'm so sorry."

Xu Ya scratched his head. Fortunately, this Originium technique was not very dangerous and no casualties were caused. If it was an explosion system... the consequences would be disastrous.

"Be more careful when using Originium techniques next time... We can't lose you."

Mudstone repeatedly reminded him in a muffled voice, and then watched him closely, fearing that something might happen.

"Ok."

"Speaking of this level of effect. Doctor, how come you also know the Originium technique of 'Black Mist'? If I remember correctly, you are not a space-type..."

"Be careful!"

After the commotion calmed down, the Sarkaz warlock suddenly seemed to have thought of something and asked Xu Ya.

However, he was stopped by others. This was a secret of the crowd. The merchants who were outsiders were still standing nearby. It was not certain who had the Originium skills to eavesdrop, so it was not convenient for him to speak freely.

However, those Sarkaz who knew about it looked at Xu Ya, curious about how he did it.

The power of the pre-existing Originium skills was relatively limited, and the warlock who just operated the staff had demonstrated the effect. The Sarkaz warlock said that he could not create a blanket of black fog like Xu Ya did.

Because in addition to releasing preset spells, the most important function of the staff is to amplify and accelerate the caster's own Originium skills.

However, in addition to its adaptability, the Originium technique has another distinct feature, which is its uniqueness.

In simple terms, everyone's proficiency in using Originium skills is determined by nature, and it is almost impossible to change oneself or learn other people's Originium skills. It's like if you are a fire mage, it's fine to learn lava and high temperature operations, but it's not possible to jump to air manipulation.

From what he saw just now, the warlock felt that Xu Ya seemed to have mastered the black fog skill naturally, and then released it through the amplification of the staff.

But Xu Yana's ability to teleport people to the box world is two completely different types of abilities, which goes against the rules!

"I don't know this now. I'll explain it to you after I've studied it thoroughly."

Xu Ya spoke vaguely while glancing at the system interface that only he could see. In the newly developed Originium skill learning interface, there was a new skill called "Black Mist", and a proficiency bar followed by the skill.

This setting made it easier for him to subjectively understand the results of his training. This time he did not rely on the staff, but instead looked for the previous feeling and brewed the heat flow in his body.

Soon, the heat in his body began to flow. Without the help of the staff, it became much more difficult for the energy to pass through his body, and there was also an obvious sense of stagnation. However, after repeated attempts and persistence, he condensed a ball of black mist in the palm of his hand.

Nice! Is this the feeling of mastering power? Not bad! He stared at the proficiency bar being filled up little by little as he practiced. This kind of experience of being rewarded as long as you work hard is so cool.

In the following days, they continued on their journey.

Xu Yaze completely confirmed his weakness, and stopped dragging his feet, but sat in the car and practiced his "internal skills".

After spending two days filling up the proficiency bar, the Black Mist skill also changed.

Not only was the stagnation gradually fading, the affected area became larger, and the control became more comfortable, with a higher level of precision. He could now roughly condense the black mist into various shapes, and could also control the size of the area. The learning results were very gratifying.

However, he was more concerned about another thing at this time. This Originium Skill Learning System seemed to be able to be given to those Sarkaz who had been marked as members of the Little Garden.

So how terrifying will the Sarkaz, who already have good adaptability to Originium, become after learning all the skills like the mage in DND?

This thought lingered in my mind.

In the end, he chose not to reveal it for the time being, and waited until he became strong enough.

Human nature being what it is, without great power within himself, Xu Ya lacks a sense of security.

In the past few days, in addition to practicing Black Mist, Xu Ya also did not forget to collect the various Originium skills mastered by the Sarkaz around him - freezing, fire, atmosphere, blasting, and the ability to manipulate soil and rocks that only Mudstone has mastered, and added them to the training list.

Chapter 8 The Infected and the Infected

Entering the border of Leithania, the Shitong Territory is ruled by the Elector Hochberg family. Its capital is located in Fels, and its name is also called Storm City.

"I hate rain."

Before Xu Ya set foot on this ancient mobile city, he was washed by a violent storm nearby. If he was just soaked, he would not have complained. But the full rain water could easily contaminate the goods they had just prepared. The sealed barrels of wine and oil were fine, but the bags of grain were all wet. This made the frugal Xu Ya very sad, even though they had enough food to squander for a long time.

Now he understood why this place was called Storm City.

I don’t know if it’s due to natural disasters or just the way it is, but the mobile city of Fels is always in a climate of wind and rain.

Before entering the mobile city, Xu Ya reopened the space-time channel in the face of continuous wind and rain, preparing for a new round of supply and replacement. After trading with caravans and some fixed settlements in Leitania, they found that grain wine and cooking oil were more popular than the most basic food. They decided to sell these two high-value trading items as their flagship products.

After they had prepared the goods by greeting the Sarkaz who stayed in the small garden world, they moved the wine and oil to the newly bought carriage with the fastest efficiency, and then brought the wet grain back to the small garden world. Then they entered the city disguised as an Ursus caravan that sold processed grains and was responsible for purchasing exotic specialties.

The customs inspection before entering the city went smoothly. The guards appointed by the nobles guarded the entrance. However, they only checked the composition of the goods and the physical condition of Xu Ya, a merchant, to see if he was a patient with Originium Disease. Then they took away some goods as "physical examination fees". Then they let him pay the goods tax. As for whether his source and identity were suspicious, these guards did not seem to care.

However, the only small episode was that the Sarkaz mercenaries around Xu Ya made the guards frown. If it weren't for the change in Leitania's attitude towards Sarkaz in recent years, they would not even allow the Sarkaz to approach the entrance.

"Be careful when you enter the city, and stay in the fringe area. If you want to bring bodyguards, you are only allowed to bring two. Don't let the big shots and the public see you in groups on the street! We can't stand seeing the infected jumping around in front of us. If something happens, we won't help you. Go in."

However, after seeing that Xu Ya, an uninfected person, used his own goods as a security guarantee and took out a sum of money to prove that these Sarkaz mercenaries were bodyguards, he relented and reluctantly allowed the Sarkaz to enter the city.

However, they are still subject to many restrictions. For example, they can only stay in the edge of the city and are prohibited from entering most normal places. If necessary, Sarkaz mercenaries who need to protect their employers need a license to go out, and so on.

It's really a deep-rooted prejudice, it's just short of saying that Sarkaz and dogs are not allowed to enter.

Xu Ya sighed secretly and saw that the Sarkaz had no reaction to such an almost insulting request.

Mudstone also remained silent, with a submissive look that was completely different from his wild appearance.

Apparently, he had already gotten used to such strange looks and requests.

"Let's go, let's sell the goods as soon as possible and find a doctor to treat the disease."

He urged, trying his best to divert the Sarkaz's attention.

After stepping onto the mobile city, the environment here is completely different from the desolate scenery outside. Here you can often see large patches of moss growing in the corners and cracks of the ground, and umbrellas often tucked under the arms of people passing by. In the distance, the noble towers with elegant decorations, which are unique to Leithania, stand in the center of the city, silently declaring authority. Surrounding them are clusters of elegant buildings full of historical sediments, showing the antiquity of this city.

But they are not in the mood to care about so-called nobility and scenery.

In order to complete the purpose of their trip as quickly as possible and also to avoid trouble.

Xu Ya found an intermediary and rented a remote and hidden warehouse area on the edge of the city. After ensuring that there were no outsiders in the warehouse, he opened the passage to the box world and took out more reserves and placed them in the warehouse. He also carried out the seriously ill Sarkaz and was ready to send him for treatment at any time.

At present, his condition is still very serious, with a high temperature all over his body and the erosion of Originium disease worsening. He relies on the magician who knows a little about medicine to suppress his condition. No one knows whether he will die in the next second. In order to prevent the explosion of Originium dust caused by his sudden death, others can only put the patient in a temporary closed room. Without medicine and more professional doctors to help, he can only live and die like this.

......

After leaving most of the Sarkaz behind to guard the goods, Xu Yama took Mudstone and another powerful Sarkaz to look for medical facilities in the city.

As the capital city, Storm City's service facilities were quite complete. After asking for directions a few times, they found the largest hospital in the city. As expected, the hospital had reserved their service packages for patients with Originium Disease, but at first glance, the price list was not what they were currently paying.

It was obviously used to serve the nobles. After all, the nobles also used a lot of Originium products. No one could guarantee that they would be infected with Originium disease and need treatment after an accident. The big shots who were infected with Originium disease could not be treated the same as the peasants. Those who needed treatment still had to be treated.

It's just that the price of treatment.... compared to the standards of the real world, the initial treatment of Originium Disease is almost equivalent to the daily cost of sending someone to the ICU, and there are additional charges for staying there. All in all, staying there for a week or so is enough to drain their hard-earned savings. And there is no guarantee of a cure, at most it can keep someone alive.

"So there is an Originium inhibitor?"

Xu Ya asked as he looked at the Caprini nurse with goat horns in front of him. The long and thin horned person couldn't help but mutter whether he would accidentally bump into the patient or the wall. It was really quite dangerous to sway back and forth like this.

Originium disease inhibitors are their best choice at the moment. They have an inhibitory effect on acute Originium disease and can relieve the body. In the future, as long as they take good care of their bodies and don't abuse Originium skills, they can basically live longer.

"Yes, but it's very expensive. Are you sure you need it? If you want it, please pay in advance before you can notify the doctor to pick it up at the warehouse."

Nurse Caprini took a look at Xu Ya, who was dressed simply, and was a little skeptical that he could come up with such a large sum of money. However, considering that this outsider had two Sarkaz mercenaries protecting him, he should not be short of money, so she started to mention it.

Having money makes things easier.

After collecting the money, the doctor quickly came out with a sealed box, opened it to display the inhibitors inside, and then handed it to Xu Ya.

"This is the most effective inhibitor on the market. There are six in total. Also, I'd like to kindly remind you to hide the box well. There are many infected people in the city who can't afford medical treatment... They also need these drugs. Outsiders like you are easily targeted, so remember to be safe."

Dr. Caprini didn't know whether it was because the money was in place or he still felt sympathy for the infected people, but after taking out the inhibitors, he also began to remind people of the precautions.

Regarding the care of patients with Originium disease, the injection site of the inhibitor should be selected as close as possible to the crystals on the surface of the Originium disease body, and there are also injection intervals, etc.

In addition to the medical aspects, he also mentioned the issue of public security.

As long as the mobile city needs Originium, the number of people infected with Originium disease will not decrease. Therefore, it is impossible for the city to completely eliminate the infected. For this reason, in addition to expelling some serious patients, more mildly infected people will stay in the city's power area to work. These people may do anything to survive. After all, being infected with Originium disease is similar to being infected with AIDS. Your reputation is basically ruined, and no matter how bad you do, it won't be that bad.

The security team didn’t even dare to arrest those infected, for fear that they would get sick themselves.
