On the Eight Extremes Star, I awakened the twelve talismans.

Ye Han couldn't help but chuckle at her expression and gently flicked the tip of her nose: "Okay, I won't do it again next time. I'll listen to you."

"You said the same thing last time."

"...This time it's for real."

Bai Xue raised her head, looking directly at him, her expression serious as if she weren't joking: "No matter what happens in the future, you're not allowed to shoulder it all alone. Remember, I'm here for you."

"Okay, I'll take you with me from now on."

Bai Xue buried her face in his chest, gave a muffled "hmm," and didn't say anything more.

But her hand quietly grasped Ye Han's hand.

Ye Han guessed that Bai Xue's sudden change was probably because of the giant stone frog incident.

Having fought side-by-side on the desert planet for half a year, she had never expressed her unease so frankly as she did today.

It took a while for Bai Xue to calm down.

"Now that you're better, I'm relieved. My martial arts training has been neglected for a while, so I'll go train outside."

"Ye Han, you've just recovered, so please stay inside and rest. You can call me anytime if you need anything."

Bai Xue got out of Ye Han's arms and put on the clothes folded on the stone.

"I understand. You can go ahead then, but don't go too far."

"Okay, I'll go now." Bai Xue finished dressing and walked out of the cave.

Ye Han shifted his attention back to the pool.

The system panel was still lit up, and the line of text floated quietly in mid-air.

[Energy source: Deep underwater.]

Time to get down to business.

It's best to take action as soon as possible to avoid any unexpected problems.

Ye Han took off his coat, folded it neatly, and placed it on a rock to the side.

Take a deep breath and jump into the water.

Water splashed up and hit the rocks by the pool.

The water in the pool was very cold, with a chilling sensation, but it was very clean, and you could see things clearly as soon as you opened your eyes.

Ye Han swam downstream.

The visibility was much worse, but fortunately there were glowing minerals in the surrounding rock walls.

The light wasn't strong, but it was just enough for him to see his surroundings clearly.

Ye Han swam down following the instructions and found a black stone piled up at the bottom of the pool.

After confirming that this was the thing, Ye Han held it and floated to the surface.

[Energy point reaction detected. Source: Inside the target item. Absorb?]

"Yes."

[Energy Points Gained: 5]

The numbers on the panel jumped.

[Energy Points: 6]

Adding the remaining 1 point, the total is now 6 points.

A stone gives 5 points, more than the ore on the desert planet.

Most items on the desert planet are worth 1 or 2 points, with the largest piece only worth 3 points.

This black stone gave me 5 points directly.

S-class planets have even higher value for their energy points.

Ye Han tossed the stone aside and shook the water off his hands.

Just as I was about to climb up, I noticed that the panel was still lit up.

[Energy source: Deep underwater.]

"Could it be... there's something else down there?" Ye Han was sure he wasn't seeing things; the line of text on the panel was there quietly, exactly the same as before.

It's not an illusion; it means there really is more below.

Ye Han took a deep breath and then sank down again.

Back and forth.

Dive down, search, pluck it out, surface, and absorb it.

Dive deeper, search again, dig it out again, surface again, and absorb it again.

Repeat.

Repeat.

Repeat.

He had already searched the bottom of the pool thoroughly and found several black stones of different sizes piled on the ground.

[Energy Points: 28]

Once he was sure there was nothing below, Ye Han climbed out of the water, unable to suppress the smile on his face.

The harvest was quite fruitful; I've collected so many energy points in just a few runs, enough for two more draws with some left over.

Before coming to Gravity Star, he spent a whole day on Desert Star, searching the entire planet to collect eleven points.

There are more than twenty hidden beneath just this pool of water in this cave.

Gravity Planet is so big, there are still many places I haven't been to, maybe a hundred points wouldn't be a problem.

Ye Han ran around the cave several times to dispel the chill in his body, dried himself off, and put on his clothes.

Actively bring up the system panel.

[Energy Points: 28]

[Would you like to spend 10 energy points to participate in the lottery?]

Yes.

Ye Han tapped twice in succession.

[10 energy points consumed, 18 energy point remaining]

[10 energy points consumed, 8 energy point remaining]

The Twelve Talisman Wheel appeared before my eyes.

Two pointers appeared on the turntable, standing side by side above the central axis of the turntable.

The hands have started to spin.

The speed increased, from slow to fast, from being able to see the shape of the pointer to only being able to see two halos.

Currently, only the Rabbit Talisman is complete on the wheel; only one square of the Horse Talisman is lit up, and nine more squares are needed to complete it.

Two rings of light spun wildly on the turntable.

The cave was quiet, with water droplets falling from the dome with a soft tinkling sound.

Ye Han stared intently at the pointer.

The pointer slowly locked onto the dragon and the ox.

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Dragon Talisman Fragment x1, Ox Talisman Fragment x2]

[Note: Collecting ten identical fragments will activate the complete talisman. Only partial abilities are retained in fragment form.]

Currently unlocked:

Rabbit Talisman - Increases speed.

Horse Talisman 1/10 - Slowly heals injuries, relieves fatigue, detoxifies, and removes all external forces from the body.

Ox Charm 2/10 - Increases power.

Dragon Talisman - 1/10 - Infinite Energy.

[Energy Points: 8]

The Dragon Talisman is the purest offensive talisman, possessing powerful explosive capabilities.

Even with only a fragment and its power significantly reduced, it is still incredibly powerful to possess infinite energy.

The other ox talisman possesses immense strength, directly multiplying its power several times over.

Both talismans are the type that can directly enhance combat power. Compared to other support talismans, these two fragments are like installing two new engines on his attack end.

It's incredibly popular!

Ye Han jumped up happily, then bumped his head on the stone of the dome.

A muffled "bang!" echoed through the cave.

Ye Han landed, clutching his head, wincing in pain.

The force of that jump far exceeded his own expectations.

With normal jumping ability, there would still be more than half a meter between the top of his head and the dome.

But this time, he felt something was wrong as soon as his body left the ground; the explosive power of his legs was much stronger than usual.

He was propelled straight upwards like he'd been launched by a slingshot, and before he could even react, his head slammed into something hard.

The pain lasted only a moment before the healing power of the horse talisman was automatically activated, and the pain gradually subsided.

"Two fragments of the Ox Talisman are already this powerful..." Ye Han rubbed the bump on his head, but his smile never stopped.

If anyone saw this, they would definitely think this person is crazy, laughing even after hitting their head.

But Ye Han didn't care at all.

The Ox Talisman truly enhances power, bringing benefits far beyond fighting; it also allows for better collection of energy points on Gravity Planet.

The speed at which the snowball rolls can be increased significantly.

The stronger the talisman, the better it can collect energy points, allowing it to extract more talismans, become even stronger, and then go to more dangerous places to collect energy points.

The cycle repeats itself, creating a snowball that keeps getting bigger and bigger.

The more talismans you have, the stronger you are.

The greater the strength, the more talismans one possesses.

However, this only applies to talismans that help with strength. As for the Sheep Talisman and Tiger Talisman, Ye Han really didn't know what use they were.
