Chapter 323: Chapter 40: Knowledge is Indeed Wealth, the Astounding Mo Ning

An adult Steel Rock Giant weighs over a ton. A significant portion of this weight comes from the Rock Armor on its body, making it cumbersome. Poor agility is its greatest weakness.

The giant before him was larger than average, estimated to weigh between 1.2 and 1.3 tons.

If a squad of Apprentices managed to kill a giant after a grueling battle, transporting it back would be another hassle. The only solution would be to cast the Floating Technique on the corpse.

Because the giant was so heavy, a single Casting wouldn’t be enough. It would take at least two, with two Apprentices carrying it, and they would have to recast the technique every ten minutes.

In the mountain forest, this was bound to be an arduous trek.

But for Mo Ning, it was incredibly simple.

He quietly activated his Buda Space Bracelet with his Spiritual Power, projecting a wisp of it to lock onto the giant’s body.

The next moment, the giant vanished without a trace.

The storage space inside the bracelet was 20 cubic meters, with dimensions of approximately 2 by 4 by 2.5 meters. It could easily fit several giant corpses lying side by side.

Mo Ning smiled in satisfaction.

This Witchcraft Item, worth tens of thousands of Black Tower Points, was demonstrating its practical value for the first time. It was far more convenient than ordinary transportation.

He extended his Spiritual Power into the space to observe the giant’s body and could clearly see its chest rising and falling ever so slightly. ℯℯ𝘭.

There was no air in the space, only a type of Spiritual Gas with a powerful preservation Effect that could force living creatures into a state of hibernation.

Yet the giant was still breathing—a testament to its tenacious Life Energy.

「Two minutes later.」

Mo Ning once again folded his Triangular Wing and landed slowly in the back garden of the Cabin in the Woods.

With a wave of his hand, the colossal body of the giant landed on the ground.

Although the body still retained a vibrant life force, without the brain’s control, it was just a pile of flesh waiting to be carved up.

Undisguised adoration immediately filled the eyes of the two young women.

Flower congratulated him in a joyful tone, "Mr. Mo Ning, you’ve created a brilliant and admirable new tactic!"

Mo Ning pointed at the giant and smiled faintly. "I’ll leave this thing for you two to handle."

The team already had a set procedure for how to dissect, process, and sell Spiritual Materials, so he didn’t need to worry about it in the slightest.

Like a hands-off boss, he walked into the living room on his own, preparing to continue reading his books on Magic Pattern Study.

The two young women excitedly circled the giant, whispering to each other as they discussed where to start.

For them, this wasn’t manual labor at all, but a chance to gain very important experience.

Looking at the entire academy, how many newcomers had personally processed the Spiritual Materials of a Steel Rock Giant?

Forget newcomers; even First and Second Level Apprentices rarely got such an opportunity.

Imagine if, in the future, the two of them were chatting with someone and casually mentioned, "I’ve processed materials from a Steel Rock Giant." It would definitely draw a lot of astonished looks.

And imagine if they applied to the academy’s Magic Potion Workshop and said during the interview, "I have personally dissected a Steel Rock Giant." It would significantly boost their chances of being accepted.

As everyone knew, the Magic Potion Workshop was a bottomless pit that consumed Spiritual Materials year-round. Processing Spiritual Materials was a key task for a Workshop Apprentice, so this was naturally a major plus.

Flower also took the initiative to join in. "Ladies, perhaps I can offer some advice."

The Artificial Soul immediately displayed knowledge far beyond the ordinary:

"From what I know, many people might not be aware that the Rock Armor on a Steel Rock Giant’s body also contains a useful Spiritual Material.

"However, the processing method is quite complex. It requires three steps to make its Spirituality manifest..."

The two young women listened with intense focus.

They knew, of course, that this was an incredibly valuable learning opportunity.

If it weren’t for their partnership with Mo Ning, they probably would have never heard such rare and precious knowledge in their entire lives.

「An hour later.」

Brimming with excitement, Reina walked through the cabin’s main door, instantly traversing thousands of kilometers to appear in front of apartment 610 in the Newcomer Dormitory Area.

The Dazed Girl quickly pushed the door open and entered. She first used Secret Technique Whisper to connect to a spiritual imprint and sent a message:

Mr. Old Nan De, I heard you’ve recently been buying "Giant Demon Regeneration Hearts" at a high price?

This "Old Nan De" was one of the contacts left to Reina by her teacher, Buck, and was a well-connected materials merchant among Second Level Apprentices.

Reina knew Old Nan De wasn’t acquiring this item for himself, but for a client.

Since joining the team, Miss Dazed had earned a considerable amount of Black Tower Points thanks to Mo Ning.

The once-unattainable Witchcraft Communication Ring, worth 260 Black Tower Points, was something she had already bought two months ago.

For the first few days after putting on the ring, she felt like she was walking on clouds, constantly wondering if the ring was even real.

Her Teacher Buck had only managed to grit his teeth and buy a Communication Ring in his second year as an Apprentice, yet she had obtained one in just her third month at the academy.

Reina’s next plan was to save up 2,500 Black Tower Points to buy a Magic Wand of decent Quality and a pair of passable Casting Gloves.

She figured that at her current rate of saving, she could reach her goal in a year at most.

Only a few seconds passed before Old Nan De’s message arrived.

Yes, little Reina. Has fortune smiled upon you? Do you have news about a Giant Demon Regeneration Heart?

Giants were famous for their incredible regeneration. Naturally, the "Regeneration Heart" was the most expensive material, fetching at least 200 Black Tower Points on the Apprentice Market.
