A few days later, they returned to Kipola.

As soon as Lin Luo got off the transport ship, many reporters surrounded him. They were all rushing to interview Lin Luo and ask about the two glass jadeite. It was surprising that they knew Lin Luo’s group was coming back early.

Fortunately, Yin Ye was well prepared and had sent someone to pick them up, which successfully helped extricate them from the circle of reporters.

After handing over the jadeite that was brought back to the staff sent by Yin Ye, Lin Luo and the others got into the hover car to go home.

He Kun and the others were originally from Kipola, so naturally they went straight home. The Han brothers, however, didn’t have a place to live here. Xing Mo helped book a hotel on StarNet near their home. After sending them to their hotel, he and Lin Luo went home.

Xing Mo’s mother and father knew that their son and future daughter-in-law were coming back today, and had prepared a table of dishes, all of which Lin Luo and Xing Mo liked.

After they had eaten, Xing Mo told his parents about his plans to enter the army. Neither of his parents had expected that their son would have to leave right after returning home.

Xing Mo’s father had originally asked Xing Mo to come back from school to take over his own business because his abilities couldn’t be upgraded. He figured that instead of spending time in the army, he might as well return to manage the family business. Now though his strength had been restored, and they had also left the Xing family. As such, continuing on as a business man would be a pity and a waste of his abilities.

“Hey, don’t worry, your mother and I will take care of Xiao Luo’s affairs.” Xing Mo’s father patted Xing Mo on the shoulder and said.

“Thank you Dad.”

The next day, Xing Mo reported to the military headquarters as per Yin Ye’s arrangement.

The people saw the headlines about Xing Mo on the StarNet News Station that evening. Because of Xing Mo’s brave performance in the face of the interstellar pirates, he was specially approved by the military to enlist in the army and was awarded the rank of captain, and was assigned lead a patrol team in the Twelfth Starfield.

The people were pleased to hear about it. Of course a brave multi-line ability user like Xing Mo should join the army!

After Xing Mo left, Lin Luo also fell into an unprecedented busy schedule. All the company’s affairs were placed solely upon his responsibility. Although An ZiHao was there as a special assistant to help him, he was still busy.

It just so happened that the energy converter that Yin Ye bought from Andre arrived during this time, and he sent someone to the company for installation so they could prepare to use it. Yin Ye knew that Lin Luo was too busy, so he went to the company to help himself.

Once the elemental energy in jade was completely extracted away, the remaining energy crystals would be placed in the warehouse. At this point, they had hundreds of pieces saved up.

If they were still relying on manual extraction of energy liquids, these hundreds of energy crystals would keep all of the energy engineers in the entire company busy for over half a month. With the machine though, extraction could be completed in just a few days.

These machines were really useful and cost-effective.

Now that they had an energy converter, they only needed to put the energy crystals in and they would automatically be converted into energy liquid. The level of the energy liquid would depend on the jadeite quality. The better the clarity and crystal structure, the higher the concentration of the extracted energy liquid.

Therefore, when using it, it was necessary to classify the energy crystals according to high, medium and low grades, and use different machines to extract different concentrations of energy liquids.

However, the news about the energy converters was still in the confidential stage. As such the machines were placed in the most heavily guarded warehouse area No. 7, and Lin Luo and Yin Ye personally designated the most trusted person to operate them.

Lin Luo chose his good friend Sun Hong. Sun Hong was injured in the Kulta meteorite shower, but he has recovered after treatment.

Sun Hong originally wanted to return to Kulta and continue to be a miner, but Lin Luo knew that he was very interested in cutting jadeite. Lin Luo could no longer be Li Jun’s apprentice, so he simply asked Sun Hong to follow Li Jun to study.

Sun Hong was in his prime of life, in good health, was willing to endure hardships. He made rapid progress and became the backbone of the company’s cutting department. Lin Luo knew that Sun Hong had elders and younger siblings in his family to support and asked him to take an extra salary. Anyway, the extraction of energy liquid was completely machine operated. There was no technical content and it wasn’t tiring, the key was that the people doing it had to be reliable.

Yin Ye felt that having only Sun Hong do it wouldn’t work and that he still had to find another person. That way if something were to happen, they could replace each other. At the same time, they would also be able to mutually supervise each other.

So Yin Ye called in a bodyguard who had been a confidant of his for many years to help. This bodyguard was a retired soldier and an ability user.

With these two people in charge of the energy liquid side, Yin Ye and Lin Luo would be able to rest easy.

Lin Luo had already signed up for the senior energy engineer certification assessment at the end of the month, and the auction of excellent grade element liquids through Yin’s Auction House was also to be held before the end of the month. In the past few days, Lin Luo had been busy extracting excellent grade elemental liquid from his two pieces of glass jade.
