The Interstellar Queen of Scavengers

Chapter 1500: Chapter 1500: The Soul Artifact Master’s Laboratory

When Mickey Dodge received the viewing ticket for the array diagram, he was quite indifferent, and he didn’t even need to think to know the outcome for most people who saw it.

——No use.

The outside world thinks soul artifact makers purposely hide the knowledge of soul artifact manufacturing, unwilling to share it to elevate their own status and fame.

Mickey Dodge sneered, those foolish ordinary people have no idea, the key to soul artifact manufacturing——the array diagram, is not like low-level nutrient solution, something so common.

Do they really believe that anyone in this world can use, craft, or create an array diagram? If that were the case, soul artifacts and soul artifact makers would not be rare resources but jobs anyone can do, like Star Network laborers.

Because the requirements for spiritual power in soul artifact manufacturing are excessively high, in wanting to learn soul artifact manufacturing, it not only requires high spiritual power levels and high spiritual silk cleaning rates, it also requires a special kind of sensation, which cannot be explained in detail; simply put, it needs certain special spiritual power.

Therefore, for the vast majority who obtain the array diagram, it is akin to a blank piece of paper. This blank paper is burning hot, and not everyone can hold it. If your spiritual power cannot endure, you might be harmed by the array diagram.

Furthermore, the array diagram cannot exist for long; the duration of its existence depends on the soul artifact maker’s level of proficiency. An array diagram engraved by Mickey Dodge can exist for 30 minutes before it shatters and dissipates... Ordinary soul artifact makers, their independently drawn array diagrams last anywhere from 1 second to about 10 minutes, which is why Mickey Dodge is called a master.

Because, with the soul artifacts Mickey Dodge crafts, the structure of the array diagram is stable, allowing the wearer a long usage time, averaging 3 months to 1 year, a point that makes Mickey Dodge especially proud.

Inside the laboratory, several assistants obtained the viewing rights for the array diagram but didn’t immediately examine it. Instead, they handed a ticket to Mickey Dodge, seeking his approval before daring to use it.

Mickey Dodge did not stop the assistants in the lab from using it at that time, he watched coldly, as he already knew the outcome.

As expected——

After the assistants eagerly opened the array diagram, in less than 3 seconds, someone collapsed, followed by more falling down one after the other, until the laboratory was filled with those on the ground. The longest-lasting was a boy about 20 years old, whom Mickey Dodge valued the most and believed had the greatest hope of becoming a soul artifact maker.

That boy held out for 30 seconds before collapsing entirely.

The scene in the laboratory was somewhat unsightly, the atmosphere tinged with awkwardness. A female assistant approached Mickey Dodge and quietly asked: ”Master Micky, should we arrange for robots to take them to the rest room, or wake them up directly?”

The laboratory runs at high speed daily, there’s much work to be done, and now, approximately two-thirds of the manpower has fallen, leaving just a handful, making things seem barely manageable.

When the female assistant posed this question, her tone carried caution and considerable circumspection; Master Mickey Dodge is not known for his patience. Instead, his temper is extremely bad, and if anything does not go well, there’s a chance of being dismissed from the lab, thus nobody dares to act out before this soul artifact master.

Upon hearing this, Mickey Dodge responded indifferently: ”Jona, this isn’t your first day in the laboratory. You should clearly know the consequences of forcibly awakening those harmed by the array diagram.”

The female assistant’s expression became even more cautious, Master Mickey’s words seemed to suggest sending all the assistants to the rest room, though in reality, it might not be so.

As expected.

Mickey Dodge said plainly: ”Wake them up.”

The female assistant lowered her head slightly, her expression respectful and obedient: ”Yes.”

Forcibly awakening those harmed by the array diagram results in spiritual power damage, requiring a long time to recover, and if done excessively, this kind of mental harm could be permanent.

Master Mickey Dodge does not lack assistants; if this group doesn’t work, he’ll get another batch.

Therefore, he doesn’t care about the physical and spiritual damage of these people.

Assistant Jona arranged for the group to be assembled, then retrieved the laboratory’s specially customized high-frequency sound wave vibrator, pressing the start.

Scriiick~

Scriiick~

Scriiick~

...

The harsh and unpleasant sound made every pore on one’s body feel uncomfortable. In less than 10 seconds, everyone laying down awoke.

The high-frequency vibration sounded as if it penetrated deep into one’s soul, causing bodily discomfort. Those newly awakened assistants raised their hands, rubbing their foreheads.

Assistant Jona ordered: ”Stand up and work, you have only 1 minute, after which return to your stations, whoever delays can pack their things and leave today.”

As soon as she spoke, the people sitting crookedly on the floor scattered.

The next moment, everyone returned to their posts, forcibly lifting their spirits to continue working.

Assistant Jona calmly observed the scene, sighing inwardly, yet showing no emotion on her face, she returned to Mickey Dodge’s side.

She was Mickey Dodge’s assistant, and also one of the most senior assistants in the Mickey Dodge Laboratory, witnessing firsthand the constant turnover of assistants, yet among those aspiring young people, none became a soul artifact maker.

Mickey Dodge was a strong soul artifact maker but not a qualified teacher. It seemed he wasn’t willing to waste effort, time, and energy to seriously teach a new soul artifact maker.

However——

Despite knowing there’s no hope in front, deep down ambitions continue to sustain Jona, as well as the other laboratory assistants.

Mickey Dodge looked at the slightly silent Jona, and with a calm expression, demanded: ”Speak.” He understood what Jona was thinking, these fools thought they were quite adept at hiding emotions, little knowing Mickey Dodge’s spiritual power was inherently keen on sensing emotions, she didn’t agree with his approach and even felt his actions towards the assistants were cold and cruel...

Heh~

Mickey Dodge sneered and said: ”Or do you wish not to do this anymore?”

Jona panicked and quickly said: ”No, you misunderstood, I’m willing to stay in the laboratory, to be at your disposal.”

Mickey Dodge glanced at her without speaking.

Jona hurriedly added: ”Master Micky, I wanted to ask you if you need to view that array diagram now, or do you want me to prepare a new batch of experimental materials?”

”Put such trivial matters aside.” Mickey Dodge waved, then said: ”Help me prepare the experimental materials.”

Jona: ”Yes.”
