Re-Birth Of A Genius. Creator/Destroyer

chapter-240
Sam and the gang are now inside the dimension and the crystal is hidden underground by the Drunkard.
As the guys are having a meal, Sam is going through the bestiary, to see what kind of Porpoise beast is that came after them and the only clues that he has are the crystalline wall that stopped them in their tracks and the unclear view of the creature itself.
It took more than two days and a revision of the data of both minerals and the beasts.
They are called Grey Fin Porpoises and they live in large communities and the crystal that is forming a wall is actually an active material just like the rubies he got from Maya. I.t is called Aqua crystal
But the energy it emits is not pure and the water around it will be contaminated by this, it was all too coincidental that the Grey Fin porpoises don't like these crystals as they would numb their senses gradually of, they stay in that region.Thankfully, the Aqua crystal's contamination range is not too large and the water is not polluted with high concentration as it would be diluted by the entire ocean.
Now, Sam understood why the Porpoises didn't attack the spiritual stone mines. The aversion towards this crystal is more than the attraction towards the mine.
And judging by the aura he felt and the shoal that came after him, Sam knew that the leader of the whole community of the Porpoises is very high-level and it would definitely be a Peak six level at a minimum. Otherwise, judging from the bloodline of the Grey fin Porpoises it is actually quite difficult to control shoals and shoals of Level 4 Porpoises.
There is a high possibility that the leader would be a Level 7.
Sam is now thinking of how to use this.
There are two ways and one way is to irritate the Porpoises so much that the aversion towards the crystals would be overcome by their irritation he causes and the second way is a very gradual way and it would be slowly mining away the whole crystal wall which almost covers the whole seashore of three count territories.
But the second method would be more effective and the results would be long-lasting, the only thing is it would also take considerable time and effort to do this.So, he has to think about what to do, to reduce the time and effort of this. One way to solve the issue would me making a suitable machine but that would also take too much time even with the consideration of the time advantage he has from the second floor of the tower.
After some serious thought, Sam had a mischievous but a sure-fire plan.
After that, he explained the plan to the remaining three and they started moving again. The first step of the plan is to sneak into the Indigo Sea city and go to the Golden-Horse trading union in disguise.
Sam walked in like an old man and a cloak. He had a hunched back and a staff in his hand to support himself while walking. The cloak has several concealment inscriptions which made his face invisible. He even used an illusion inscription to subconsciously make the people think and make them ignore his face.
Sam walked towards the section where the minerals are traded and placed a piece of Aqua crystal on the table.
"Do you have this crystal in stock?" He asked in a husky and shaking voice.
The person-in-charge started examining the crystal and didn't find it familiar and Sam knew why because unlike the rubies, this aqua crystal doesn't have many uses other than spoiling something, at least he didn't find any in all the data he has. This is actually a minor mineral that only occupied a small space even in the whole database that Ling Tian provided him.
But this is going to make things easier for him.
"Excuse me, sir. May I ask, if I can ask my supervisor to take a look?"
"Well, I am not comfortable about parting with the crystal, it is highly valuable." His voice sounded hesitant and uncomfortable.
This made the person in charge eye the crystal once again and said.
"My supervisor, would come here and take a look in your presence, please don't worry."
After that, a middle-aged man came towards the counter and examined the crystal with no results.
"Sir, we don't have this crystal in stock, if you could explain what it does, we can ask around in our other branches."
"If you don't know, what it is then let us just leave it at that. It would be no use asking it in other branches if you don't have it in yours."
Sam took the crystal back like it was a treasure and left the place like he was in an extreme hurry.
The Golden-Horse employees didn't stop him. But the supervisor has a different expression and he called over a young man and whispered something in his ears which made the young man follow Sam into the streets.
Sam walked slowly as if he is really weak and the young man caught up. He held Sam by his collar and dragged him into an alleyway.
"Now, old man. I heard from a bird that there is crystal in your possession from a mysterious origin. Come and tell me all about it, if you don't want any trouble."
He released his aura of a Peak Novice which is kind of a big deal in a Count city. Sam shivered in 'fright' and took out the crystal and gave it to him before spilling the beans.
"I heard that this crystal can be obtained on the sea bed of the seas of the three count territories. I heard this from a dying young man in the woods, I read from his journal and research that these things can be made into a device that can help a cultivator underwater. The research was mostly destroyed and only this page remained.
He took out a damaged page with a title of the project of the underwater breather and then the sketches of the crystalline structure and the properties of the crystal.
"I just wanted to try my luck and first see if you have any stock of this crystal."
The young man kicked Sam and said.
"If you want to live, you better keep your mouth shut." He stole both the crystal and the research note and left the place.
Sam smirked under his cloak at the scene. This is exactly what he wanted to do.
He left the city and in the next few days, there are similar scenes in all the coastal cities and old men were being kicked and stolen from the aqua crystal and the research notes.
Sam and his friends went into the forests near the shore and then started cutting the trees and left an open ground with stones piled in a particular pattern which indicated.
"SAM WAS HERE."
He made it in an extremely isolated place but it was big enough.
After that, he slowly disappeared without any trace as usual and started thinking about his next target while he monitored the reactions that he did.
Soon, in a week there are many mining operations that started at the seashore. Even though it is hard to mine underwater, the aqua crystal is not that hard and is even brittle and from the 'research notes' they learned that the crystal can even be powdered and still be used.
But the thing is, there is not even a single high-level power involved in the mining, because they are not stupid enough to trust some news without confirming all they did was try to find out how this crystal and the technology worked.
Sam guessed that it would at least take fifteen days or more for his plan to be effective.
Meanwhile, he is starting to plan something else. Now, that he distracted all the attention of the officials and they think that he is going after herbs, it about time, he started changing his direction and for that, he has to find a type of beast which would do his bidding.
And beasts might not be an appropriate description for those creatures because Sam is out there looking for some rodents a long-tailed chinchilla.
And along with that, he is also searching for a type of plant. A type of vine to be exact.
Both of them don't coexist, but once they do, there will be something that Sam desired extremely.
And this search wouldn't be that easy if he searched it personally, but once he takes the help of the cities, that would be a whole another thing.
Now, Sam is moving towards the northern part of the southern star where the chinchillas would be available and Watt along with Jack is moving towards the city next to the Indigo sea count city so that they can find the plant that they wanted.
They would meet at the location of their next operation which is the north-eastern corner of the southern star.
As Sam's plans are being smooth sailing, the situation in the southern star city was not at all same.
