"What do you mean by refined synthesis?"
Ding Meng's surprise was reasonable. Although platinum was rare, it might not be able to contain Origin Energy.
"I'm not sure about the specific principles. You'll have to ask Randy or Ruolan," Qu Xiaoxiao replied with a bitter smile.
Qu Xiaoqing replied with a bitter smile, "My third brother got this sword by chance from someone else. He loved classical swordsmanship, but he didn't know how to use it. After he passed away, no one else could use it, so I kept it …"
Ding Meng finally understood Qu Xiaoqing's intentions.
How should he describe this sword?
You could say that it was a godly weapon. In terms of material, it was indeed a godly weapon, because the cost of making it was probably no less than that of a battle armor.
However, if you were to say that it was trash, then it could be said that it was truly trash. It was originally a high-tech material, but it was forcefully added into an antique weapon. It was completely useless.
This was probably Qu Xiaoqing's third brother's special hobby. However, for a family like the Qu family, someone like Qu Xiaoqing's third brother was a typical prodigal son.
However, Qu Xiaoqing still kept this prodigal son's item, which proved that the relationship between her and her brother was very deep. Now that she had given this sword to Ding Meng, it was obvious that she wanted to befriend Ding Meng.
Qu Xiaoqing was a proud daughter of the heavens, and her vision was undoubtedly unique. She could see that Ding Meng had potential. Ding Meng was very talented, but he was limited by his identity. If someone like Ding Meng was placed in a big family or sect, he would definitely be treated as a talent and heavily nurtured.
Ding Meng put the sword back into the box and said solemnly, "Miss Qu, don't worry. I will make good use of this sword."
"Then I'll look forward to it."
Qu Xiaoqing smiled slightly. "Ding Meng, our journey is very long. It will take about ten days of flying. The ship is equipped with a dedicated lounge. If you feel bored after staying in the induction cabin for too long, there is also an entertainment area and a restaurant. I won't take up any more of your time. See you later."
Ding Meng could only express his gratitude once more. At the same time, he could not help but sigh. A probe ship was equipped with an entertainment area, fully considering the boring details of interstellar flight. Sure enough, one could do whatever one wanted with money.
There wasn't anything special about the private lounge. It was just a small room for each person with a private space. The room was equipped with an induction cabin, a nutrition cabin, and a medical cabin. Judging from the models, they were all Anvil products.
What Ding Meng needed to do at this time was to seize the time to cultivate his cultivation technique. Although he could construct the origin through meditation alone, it would be a waste not to use the Sensor Cabin. With this thing's precise positioning, the efficiency would be much higher.
Ding Meng had long memorized the structure of the sixth origin of the Diamond Star Technique and had completed more than half of it. However, he was interrupted by the arrival of Xiao Qiu and the sneak attack of the Surprise Attack Mercenary Group. Now that there was no external interference and no shortage of resources, Ding Meng made rapid progress in the construction.
The six origins quickly formed an octahedron, completely enveloping the heart. Unlike before, after the origin was activated this time, the octahedron could be stretched and shrunk at will, changing into many different shapes.
Based on past experience, Ding Meng first condensed a single mirror surface, then condensed two mirrors at the same time, and then condensed a triangular prism. Now, condensing a triangular prism was no longer difficult. During the battle with Salazar, Ding Meng's Golden Top had this ability. It could block most attacks.
As the sixth origin was successfully constructed, Ding Meng had a vague feeling that the Diamond Star Technique was mainly focused on defense and self-defense.
However, he still had to ask Little Rascal how to use the octahedron. Since they were already in space, Ding Meng decided to wake Little Rascal up.
In fact, he did not need to summon Little Rascal, because Little Rascal's voice was already heard.
"Gene body energy is detected to be abundant. Level 2 memory access unlocked. Authorization complete."
In Ding Meng's field of vision, the small white disc that represented Little Rascal changed again. It was compressed and stretched, and finally became a caterpillar, wriggling in the lower left corner of his field of vision.
"Ha —" Ding Meng laughed. "Little Rascal, you've become a worm now."
"What do you mean by a worm?" Little Rascal was not satisfied.
"My body has become more complete, and I've become more beautiful."
Ding Meng's eyelids drooped. "Yes, you've become more beautiful."
Little Rascal was not happy. "Yo, what's with that sour expression? Aren't you happy that you've unlocked level 2 memory access?"
"Of course I'm happy." Ding Meng immediately perked up. "By the way, Little Rascal, I've constructed the sixth origin."
Little Rascal laughed. "Haha, congratulations, Ding Meng. You've completed the first stage of Diamond Star Technique. Next, you'll have to strengthen all the origin."
Ding Meng said hesitantly, "In that case, my foundational cultivation method is completed just like that?"
Little Rascal sneered. "Tsk, I told you, you've only completed the first stage."
"Is there a second stage?" Ding Meng suddenly felt his heart race.
"Of course. What else do you think level 2 memory access is for?"
Little Rascal replied proudly. "The seventh origin is waiting for you. Don't be scared by its difficulty."
Ding Meng took a deep breath. He had to forcefully suppress the ecstasy in his heart. He didn't expect the Diamond Star Technique to be a seven-star cultivation method.
"Can I see the seventh origin's structure first?" Ding Meng asked.
"That won't do." Little Rascal wriggled on the screen.
"Why not?" Ding Meng was stunned.
Little Rascal snorted. "Who told you to describe me as a worm?"
"Uh …" Ding Meng was speechless. He immediately corrected himself. "Okay, you're not a worm."
Little Rascal was also speechless. "Ding Meng, can't you show some sincerity?"
Ding Meng thought for a moment and continued. "Okay, Little Rascal, you're not a worm."
Little Rascal sighed helplessly. "Ding Meng, if you have a girlfriend in the future, I suspect she'll beat you to death sooner or later."
"What kind of logic is that?" Ding Meng was confused. "What does a girlfriend have to do with the origin?"
Little Rascal said in disappointment, "Look at yourself. You don't even know how to make a girl happy."
Ding Meng was even more confused. "Why should I make a girl happy?"
Little Rascal said, "Then do you still want to see the seventh origin's structure?"
"Yes," Ding Meng replied without any hesitation. "But you're not a girl, Little Rascal."
Little Rascal couldn't help but ask, "Then what if you have a girlfriend, and she knows the origin's structure?"
Ding Meng replied without even thinking, "The premise is that I have to have a girlfriend first. We'll talk about it when I have one."
"You …" Little Rascal was once again defeated by his caveman mindset. "Forget it. If I don't give you the cold shoulder for a few days, you'll never be able to improve your EQ. Eh?
Aren't we in a spaceship?
This spaceship is pretty advanced. "
Ding Meng was surprised. "How did you know?"
Little Rascal said, "My authority has increased, and so have my abilities. Let's see if you still dare to look down on me."
Ding Meng's interest was piqued. "Little Rascal, what new abilities do you have now?"
"A lot. With your EQ, it's very difficult for me to explain them to you."
Little Rascal snorted. "It's just that this room is too small. Ding Meng, you can go out and walk around, and I'll be able to read the spaceship's original data."
"Really?" Ding Meng looked at her doubtfully.
"Of course it's real," Little Rascal replied confidently. "My learning ability has increased by several times."
Ding Meng nodded. Going out for a walk was a good idea. After all, he had successfully constructed the sixth origin, and it was something worth celebrating. More importantly, he knew that there was a seventh origin waiting for him, so it was even more worth celebrating.
Oh right, didn't Miss Qu say that there's a restaurant on this spaceship?
Let's go to the restaurant then. I haven't eaten anything in days, and my mouth is so bland that I'm about to vomit.
The restaurant wasn't big, but it was exquisitely decorated. The decor was also quite beautiful, making it hard to tell that it was a restaurant on a spaceship. It was completely like Autumn Pool City's "Lakeside Garden". Miss Qu really knew how to enjoy life.
At this time, the restaurant was empty. Ding Meng chose a long table for two in the corner. It was near the window, and the window must have been embedded with crystal glass to reflect a pleasing scenery of the lake and mountains.
As soon as Ding Meng sat down, a screen automatically rose from the center of the table, displaying a mirror menu. The menu was very detailed: rice, barbecue, western food, cuisine, seafood, desserts, noodle soup, Jin Feng specialties, Sui Feng specialties … There was a dazzling array of dishes, and Ding Meng was almost drooling when he saw these mirrored dishes.
His finger quickly tapped on the screen.
"Turkish barbecue?
Let's start with five plates.
"What's this called?
Black pepper and lemon roast chicken?
Okay, okay, let's have ten. Oh, no, let's have twenty.
"What's this?
Mottled stone fish from Sui Feng Oasis?
Ten is no problem. "
"How about eel fried shrimp noodles?
Based on bowls?
Then let's have fifteen bowls. "
"What?
Braised chicken wings?
That's my favorite. Give me thirty pairs … "
…
He tapped on a long, densely packed list of dishes on the screen. Little Rascal rolled his eyes. "It seems that free food is the best. You're going to stuff yourself to death by ordering so much …"
With Ding Meng's current body, eating so much wasn't actually enough. For Origin Ability users, food was nothing more than enjoying the taste and the process of eating. What really supported the body was the nutrient solution, the amplification agent, and the Origin Energy itself.
However, at this time, a familiar voice came from behind him. "Hehe, your dishes aren't that good. This is called stuffing yourself. Why didn't you order steak?"
Ding Meng was immersed in the pleasure of ordering food and didn't pay attention to his surroundings. Now that he turned around and saw who it was, he couldn't help but smile.
