Chapter 1519: DODS
Ning went to the Spark shop next, deciding that he needed to buy some sparks. With the amount of Jiubels he had, he could buy quite a lot of Spark, but he decided that he needed no more than 20 grams for now.
However, when he did try to buy it, he was told that a person was only allowed to buy 10 grams of Spark a week at his current status. It was some sort of new rule they had made with the migration incoming within the month.
Reluctantly, Ning bought 5 grams of Spark, with more only being possible to buy a week later.
He had been planning on using a lot of Spark to test out his powers more, but with what he had now, he could only do some sparse experiments.
Ning went over to the library next, with no more than 2 hours left for him to read anything he wanted. After thinking for a bit, Ning read up on migrations and this world's technology. Migration was a simple event where when the people were going to enter the dark side of the gas giant, they would travel to another satellite where they already had a base.
Ning wondered what the reason was for this event, and it turned out that every satellite around Krimanax took on average 2 years to go around it. During that time, if they had gathered enough resources to last a year in darkness, they could stay in the hole.
However, more often than not, that was not possible, and instead, they had to migrate to another moon.Cheêck out latest novels at novelhall.com
The main reason Ning came to learn about migration was the fact that during the darkness, the surface of the planet got so cold that it became impossible to harvest Spark in any qualitative manner.
Trying to do so would only result in failure, so it was better to move to another world where Sparks were more freely available with the sun shining on it brightly.
Once again, it was never stated how long these people had been migrating. It simply stated that they had been doing this for a while now.
Ning read up on the technologies next, but there wasn't much about it.
The system itself was called DODS, the Definitive Ocular Display System, and the crystal sphere that was used to hold data was called a Data Core. There was some information about how it held inside of it a tech that could etch directly into the core, and alter it in some way.
It also explained how it tracked the user's eyes and directly projected the image into their two eyes, producing the holographic display effect.
A wave of congratulations filled the table before one of them explained.
"You'll have to go over to the administrator's office and tell them that you have gained your power. They should put you in a training class for some time so you can master your power."
"I see," Ning said.
"What power did you get?" one of them asked.
"I'm a Converter."
"Ooh!"
"Converter is good."
"Very versatile."
"You'll have to learn a lot to make good use of it."
They gave various advice, and from what Ning could see, none of the Cadets there were converters at all.
In fact, none of them had any powers at all. Ning could only wonder why.
After completing his meals, Ning went over to his room to use DODS to see what his job was
for the day. Once again, it was elevator duty, and there wasn't much time.
"Registering will have to wait then," Ning thought and made his way to his work.
