Chapter 114 What furnace ash? This is clearly chaotic source material!

The furnace had been running for two days, and it got clogged with too much ash.

As he was about to close the door, Fang Qi clearly felt that the heat was not quite right, and every now and then, colorful smoke rings would appear.

The materials used by players are not exactly the same, but they are very similar.

However, Fang Qi was not flustered because he added special effects to make it look like the glow of a shipment.

Logically, the Appello process shouldn't be like this, but Fang Qi's operation was just too strange.

Hermes, the creator, probably didn't anticipate that many years later, someone would use the high-end goods that could create "divine bodies" as a boiler to burn.

The boiler probably never expected its diet to be so diverse, capable of consuming almost anything.

At this moment, Fang Qi locked the library door and prepared to clean the boiler.

The divine monument was too big to go inside, so he transformed back into a box and, following his habit from his previous life, made four masks and put them on all four sides.

He grabbed the edge of the furnace with his tentacle, soared into the air, and landed steadily above to look around.

The fire in the furnace had gone out, and the situation inside could be clearly seen.

The black waste was mixed with glittering pieces of equipment and unidentified substances; in short, it was a sticky, multicolored black substance.

Fang Qi didn't really want to go in.

This stuff looks very thick; if it sticks to your skin, it'll probably take ages to wash off!

He looked around and began to look for Paru.

Loxi is focused on breaking through, and aside from her, the only ones she can use right now are Vicky and Chuchu.

Fang Qi turned to Vicky.

Vicky silently turned her head, pretending to whistle and admire the scenery, while her quill pen wrote rapidly.

Fang Qi then looked at the chirping chirp beside the furnace.

Chiu Chiu met his gaze and blinked, "Big brother, what's wrong?"

You're so thick-skinned and tough, I've decided on you! *kiss*

Vicky, who had been secretly observing, quickly manipulated the divine script and entered the command to open the furnace.

With a soft hiss, a muffled sound rang out, and a surge of black death energy erupted forth.

"Whoa!" Chiu Chiu felt a wave of heat mixed with a burnt smell hit her face. Startled, she cried out and backed away, bumping into Fang Qi.

Fang Qi looked at Qiu Qiu, who was clinging to him, and tempted her, "Do you want to go into this giant furnace to search for treasure?"

"Treasure hunting?" Chiu Chiu said, not quite understanding.

She peeked inside suspiciously, then shook her head vigorously: "It'll stick to your body!"

Fang Qi, however, was prepared. He pulled out a waterproof sheet and a Celestial Dragon headgear, and said deceptively, "How could that be? I've prepared a specially made protective suit for you."

Although it's a temporary fabrication, it's not your average waterproof cloth. It has the "isolation" feature added to it, which can effectively prevent it from sticking to unknown substances!

The Celestial Dragon helmet, which already has an air filtration mode, is perfect for this situation.

Before the other party could react, Fang Qi and Vicky worked together, one putting the hood over the head and the other dressing up, and quickly got Qiuqiu dressed.

"Let's go treasure hunting!" Fang Qi urged, giving a push.

Chirp stood at the furnace entrance, unsure whether to go in or back: "Is there really treasure inside?"

"Yes, we have them. Look at that shiny thing, isn't that it?" Fang Qi stretched out his tentacle, pointing to a clump of metal debris. "By the way, you're worried about not having the tools, right?"

As he spoke, a brilliant idea struck him. He quickly transformed back into a food cart, and his tentacles grabbed a spatula used for cooking in the mobile kitchen, tossing it to Chiu Chiu: "Look, I've prepared a little spatula for you. All you need to do is scoop out the contents!"

"Okay." Chiu Chiu still didn't really want to go in.

However, trusting her older brother, she walked heavily into the furnace with tears in her eyes, shovel in hand.

"Ugh—the smell of burning is so strong!" Even through the Celestial Dragon's head mask, Chuchu almost suffocated from the smell.

"That's the smell of evolution. I'll turn on the air purification mode for you."

Fang Qi gave Vicky a wink, signaling her to catch her breath, then said without changing his expression, "Quick, while it's hot—no, before it solidifies, take all the treasures out of it!"

The wind was howling outside, which made Chiu Chiu feel a little more comfortable.

She nodded, took a step forward, and officially stepped into the furnace ash. As expected, she immediately sank in.

"It's so sticky!" Chirp pulled hard, leaving a long trail of sticky residue.

Fortunately, she was strong, and the dust couldn't trap her.

I tried to scrape down on something shiny with a shovel, but the ash was too sticky and the shovel got stuck inside.

But Chiu Chiu has plenty of strength.

"Hey!" She stood firmly on her feet, spun around with incredible strength and power!

A large blob of unidentified substance suddenly flew up and splattered onto her hood.

"Whoa! Big brother, it's biting me!" Chirp cried out in surprise, but her competitive spirit kicked in, and she grabbed the shovel and launched a series of attacks.

Finally, they successfully shoveled off the first piece of ash and transported it to the special container that Vicky had prepared outside.

Chirp seemed to have found something to do. Without Fang Qi's prompting, it crawled back inside and started struggling with the furnace ash.

With the sample in hand, Vicky scanned and analyzed it simultaneously: "Administrator, this stuff is very sticky and contains a large amount of metal and unknown toxins. I recommend either harmless disposal or on-site landfill."

She paused, then added, "Perhaps—the administrator could try licking it, since the administrator likes to play with the tentacles of the mimic, and this stuff counts as food."

Fang Qi glared at Vicky.

If Fang Qi hadn't known that Vicky was so frail, he would have let her go in and plunder it too.

This guy repaid kindness with enmity, actually trying to trick the administrator into eating garbage. He's really arrogant!

He recalled that he hadn't played with Vicky's tentacles for a few days recently. No, he needed to teach her a lesson.

Seeing that Chiu Chiu wasn't looking outside, Fang Qi immediately split off two of them and crawled inside Vicky's clothes to start tickling her up close.

While scratching, he explained in a serious tone, "What do you know? This is called Chaotic Primal Essence, containing the essence of countless lives!"

"Ha—ha—essence—life essence?" Vicky was slightly out of breath from being scratched. "Then let's dig a little longer."

"Let's dig!" Fang Qi's tentacles moved to a different position, about to visualize and operate in depth, when suddenly, a crisp "clang" came from inside the furnace.

"Big brother, there's something hard inside, my precious!" Chirp called out from inside.

Fang Qi quickly pulled back: "Take it out and let me see."

"It looks like a lump of iron." Chuchu heaves as she carries the treasure out, then looks at Fang Qi and Vicky, but doesn't notice anything unusual.

Fang Qi's eyes lit up.

High-density alloy, Grade B material, smelted from multiple metals, possessing high hardness and high-temperature resistance.

"What? That lump of iron? This is refined iron! It'll be on the shelves tomorrow along with the Chaos Essence!" He immediately dismissed the claim, praising, "Well done, keep it up!"

"Is that so? — Then I'll give it to my big brother." Chiu Chiu nodded blankly.

She simply enjoys the process of treasure hunting; she doesn't care what she finds.

Encouraged, Chiu Chiu voluntarily returned to the construction site.
