Chapter 611: Chapter 298: Spare Rations (Part 3) "This Memory Crystal comes from the Abyss Fourth Layer, and it’s a more complex existence than the samples you attempted before." Uther’s hologram floated around the Memory Crystal, with silver light reflecting on the crystal’s surface, causing subtle energy resonance. "Begin, let me see the results of your recent learnings." Uther floated backward, giving Ron enough operational space, while ready to intervene at any moment. Ron nodded, focusing his attention entirely on the Memory Crystal in front of him. He first activated "Extraordinary Recognition" and the newly acquired "Hermit’s Knowledge" to perform a comprehensive scan of the Memory Crystal, attempting to gather as much surface information as possible before deeper exploration. In his perception, the energy within the Memory Crystal presented relatively stable waveforms, with most areas showing a healthy blue-green glow. However, deep within the crystal, he noticed several anomalous energy nodes. The energy fluctuation frequency there was evidently higher than the surrounding areas, forming local "hotspots." More concerning was the core region of the crystal, surrounded by a layer of pale purple energy barrier. This structure had never appeared in the Memory Crystals he had previously analyzed. "The internal energy fluctuations are relatively stable, with no obvious malevolent traits." Ron calmly assessed: "But the central core area has an anomalous barrier that may require special attention. Moreover, a few unstable energy nodes were detected, which should be avoided during the analysis process." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦 Uther’s hologram flickered slightly, showing approval: "Very detailed observations. Indeed, a thorough preliminary assessment often prevents many unnecessary risks in Memory Crystal analysis. Especially that core region’s barrier, it’s usually where the critical events forming the Memory Crystal occur." Encouraged, Ron took a deep breath and began the analysis. He gently placed his palm above the surface of the Memory Crystal, carefully releasing strands of Spiritual Power. Unlike his previous rough attempts, this time his Spiritual Power distribution was more refined, like a spider’s web covering every crucial node of the Memory Crystal. With the thought acceleration brought by "Hermit’s Knowledge," he could simultaneously monitor the energy feedback from dozens of contact points, adjusting the intensity and frequency of Spiritual Power in each spot timely. When the Spiritual Power network was fully spread, Ron began looking for the most suitable entry point. On the surface of the Memory Crystal, he found an area with relatively weak energy fluctuation, where the barrier was thinnest and was the ideal breakthrough point. "Found it." Ron murmured, focusing his Spiritual Power on that spot, starting to penetrate carefully. The process of breaking through the surface barrier was not smooth. Whenever his Spiritual Power attempted to go deeper, the Memory Crystal exhibited an instinctive rejection reaction, like an immune system resisting an invader. But Ron did not rush. He patiently adjusted the frequency of his Spiritual Power, trying to achieve a kind of harmonic resonance with the Memory Crystal’s energy fluctuations. After nearly ten minutes of repeated attempts, he finally found the suitable frequency. His Spiritual Power, like a precise key, effortlessly unlocked the Memory Crystal’s outer defenses. "Good." Uther encouraged: "Now try to establish an initial information channel, but do not touch that core region yet." Ron nodded, continuing to guide his Spiritual Power deeper into the Memory Crystal. He carefully avoided the unstable energy nodes, focusing on constructing a safe circuit for information extraction. This was the most meticulous work in the analysis process. He needed to maintain a stable connection with the Memory Crystal simultaneously, avoid potentially dangerous areas, and establish a protective layer that could filter harmful energy. Any issue in these steps could lead to Spiritual Contamination or even more severe consequences. With the aid of features such as "Hermit’s Knowledge," "Micro-structure Adaptation," and "Essential Insight," Ron’s Spiritual Control reached an unprecedented level of precision. He could divide his Spiritual Power into dozens of streams, executing different tasks simultaneously, like a musician conducting a complex symphony, ensuring every note was in place. Gradually, a stable information channel took shape. Ron could feel the information within the Memory Crystal beginning to flow into his consciousness at a controllable rate, like a clear stream rather than a torrential flood. The information flow initially consisted of fragmented images and perceptions, but as the link deepened, they gradually became coherent, forming a complete memory: A bizarre abyssal scene appeared in Ron’s consciousness. On the purple-black soil, a plant similar to a fern was growing, but its leaves had a metallic texture, with edges sharp as knives. What was more eerie was that these leaves continuously changed shape, as if engaging in some complex breathing or communication. A faint purple mist permeated the air, seeming to have a weak consciousness that would actively avoid the paths of explorers. In the distance, several fountain-like energy outflows were constantly releasing deep purple light, illuminating the entire region. The explorer—the owner of the memory, was cautiously collecting samples while recording the surrounding energy fluctuations with some special device. Through his perspective, Ron observed a peculiar symbiotic relationship existing among the plants. They were connected through their root systems, forming a vast network where energy flowed and exchanged, much like an organic computing system. As the explorer focused on recording data, he sensed some unusual pressure. The image wobbled, and the explorer looked up. At the edge of his vision, a vague gigantic silhouette flickered in and out, seemingly observing this layer from the deeper Abyss layers.
