Chapter 58: Free Trip to Swim in an Active Volcano

Chapter 58: Free Pass to Dive into an Active Volcano

The enthusiastic fruit shop seller immediately took several photos of the yellow orb and sent them to Cheng Jingqiao, so the customer could confirm if she really liked it.

The photos turned out great, not only showing the overall image but also including detailed close-ups.

The close-ups were crystal clear. It was a very smooth yellow orb.

Through the photos, everyone once again confirmed that the orb in the picture truly matched all the descriptions of the System Orb.

Moreover, despite all the handling, the orb showed no other reactions, clearly showing it hadn’t awakened yet.

The staff from the seller's location arrived at the scene as quickly as possible.

Claiming that the orb might contain contraband hidden by a suspect, upon hearing this alarming news, the seller quickly handed the little yellow orb over to the police, not even bothering to claim the official compensation.

After successfully obtaining the orb and returning to a safe place, the fully geared up staff were ready to give the little yellow orb a try.

However, Sheng Qingquan was somewhat worried and rushed over in his mecha. After all, even though the staff were fully geared up, everyone knew their fighting prowess.

They were fine for catching ordinary criminals, but facing such a reckless and arrogant system, who knows what could happen?

Even if the system had not yet awakened, better safe than sorry.

Sheng Qingquan's fighting prowess, even without the mecha, was undoubtedly the highest on Tianlan Star. With the mecha, it was like adding fuel to the fire.

Once everyone was present, the staff did not hesitate any longer and steadily raised the buzzing chainsaw to give the little yellow orb a try.

The chainsaw failed to split the little yellow orb in two.

The orb was so tough it could withstand the chainsaw. The people present exchanged glances, many of them somewhat stunned: Is this for real?!

They actually found it?!

Such a crazy and seemingly ridiculous move actually led them to the real target.

The staff responsible for cutting the little yellow orb turned off the chainsaw and put it down, switching to a power drill. Unlike the various orbs that were easily drilled through before, this little yellow orb stayed perfectly intact.

But it remained motionless throughout, looking like just an ordinary, albeit sturdy, orb.

How could this be! No one was fooled.

"Let me handle this!" Sheng Qingquan volunteered eagerly, "I'll try slicing it with a laser first. If that doesn't work, I know an active volcano. I'll fly the mecha and throw the orb into the volcano's crater!"

"In the volcano, the magma is scorching hot that the orb would vaporize before it even hits the bottom!"

"If even the scorching magma can't dissolve it, that's fine too. It's an active volcano after all!"

"People have tried to prove themselves by climbing snowy mountains, but an active volcano, one that could erupt at any moment, not to mention the mountain itself, the area for thousands of miles around it would be deserted!"

"To avoid accidents, I chose a volcano on a remote island. The island is very isolated, uninhabited, and the surrounding magnetic field is all messed up, so ships won't come near. There's no chance of anyone accidentally entering!"

"If there's no one around, even if it wakes up, it can't bind to a host."

"It would just be an orb sitting in the magma until the end of time!"

"Even if the volcano erupts someday, given the distance from the island to the mainland, the chance of the orb floating over is practically zero."

"Without a host, even if the sphere accumulates enough energy to awaken, it will soon fall back into an endless slumber. Who knows when it will accumulate enough energy again."

"And if this continues, the next time it awakens with enough energy, the outcome will be exactly the same, with no change. Wouldn't that be equivalent to being permanently confined?!"

"Ah, how pitiful!" Sheng Qingquan put on a show of pity and then proposed a suggestion.

"If sending it for a swim in magma isn't feasible, how about a trip to outer space?"

"After all, with all the space junk out there, one more piece wouldn't matter."

"Since I got the mech suit, I haven't been out there. This could be a good chance to experience what it's like to walk in space."

"Just tossing it out there still makes me nervous. Maybe I should throw it further, to a more remote, desolate planet, and bury it deep? That way, the chances of it being discovered would be much lower."

"That's decided then!"

"Just thinking about it gets me all fired up!"

Sheng Qingquan was extremely excited, raising his mechanical arm, ready to take action immediately.

"Beep, detecting a dire crisis, system reactivating early!"

The yellow sphere emitted a white light, and a mechanical voice sounded.

Everyone present fell silent, even Sheng Qingquan, who had been ready to act. The giant mech crouched halfway to the ground, and everyone stared at the glowing sphere.

Seeing this, no one was surprised, and some even had a sense of 'finally, it's happening.'

This sphere, indeed, wasn't dead asleep.

Or rather, it was out cold, but a critical emergency would cause it to reactivate early.
