Chapter 606: The Four-Man Electricity Theft Group (Part 1)_1

"No, I haven't figured it out yet." Bruce turned his head away without looking at Shiller, but Shiller didn't look at him either, instead he said to himself, "Good, if you've already figured it out, then I guess, those energies then have a place to go."

Bruce stared at Shiller, Shiller stared back at Bruce, two of them glared for a minute, and finally Shiller was the first to speak: "Listen, Bruce, I tolerate your poor academic performance because you have a knack for scientific research. If even this advantage is gone, I might have to talk to your butler about your grades in school..."

Bruce coughed twice, turned around and said, "Wait for me a bit, I'll go get it now."

While waiting for Bruce to fetch the Ark Reactor core he had made, Shiller wasn't idle. When the old nun was teaching the children to sing upstairs, Shiller was waiting on the roof to catch owls.

After they had sung two songs, the energy accumulated was considerable. Although it still couldn't compare with the magic energy obtained from Marvel, it was easier to get and hardly took any effort.

Don't assume that because Shiller got so much energy from Marvel, he didn't expend a lot as well. Just the incident with Nal serving dishes involved many layers of calculations. It was not only necessary to secure enough resources for himself but also necessary to feed everyone from top to bottom, so as to enhance the overall strength of the Earth. The mental calculations required for this were not light.

In contrast, these Dark Owls were far easier to consume; while singing, crouching on the roof would allow them to consume as much as was available.

These creatures neither resist nor are they pure energy beings, they don't even need to be digested. If the chaotic energy brought by Nal is considered pebble stir-fry, then these Energies are like delicious rice porridge.

While consuming, Schiller began to suspect that these energies seemed to have been previously extracted and refined by someone.

As a comic reader, Shiller knew that behind the Dark owl priest stood the Dark Dragon Barbados. However, Shiller didn't believe that the energy of Barbados would be this gentle. Apparently, this group of human Dark owl priests, to allow this energy to act on the human body, had modified it, and as a result, all benefitted Shiller.

Thinking this way, Shiller started to consider other thoughts.

In Marvel, the energy obtained from Nal cannot be directly used by humans; otherwise, Shiller would like to create something like a Magic Spider-Man or Magic Green Giant.

But unfortunately, without innate energy affinity, such energy cannot be used, and only magicians from Kamar-Taj or cosmic sorcerers can acquire the usable flesh from many pebbles. It's impossible to do it in bulk and attach an Ark Reactor to everyone.

Such a proposal would be too costly while gaining little. Essentially, Spider-Man and the Hulk don't need any extra energy to enhance themselves. Better if they have it, but not necessary to put in so much effort to get it if they don't.

However, these Energy abilities, which have been refined and extracted by the Dark Owl Ritualist, seemed to be specifically for the tender human body, perhaps not just for the human body, but specifically for children.

If even the weaker individuals among humans can adapt to this power and even coexist with them, then if this power is made into a tool, is it possible for every ordinary person to use it?

Let's put it simply, the logistical industry in Gotham has been fraught with difficulties. The logistics transfer station industry system was reasonably healthy. Still, with constant natural and man-made disasters, it never had a smooth run. However, if the most advanced logistics technology, the Teleportation Array, is developed, whether it's raining, snowing or even if there are disasters, it won't affect the truck drivers' deliveries.

Thinking about it, Shiller also felt that his idea was too pragmatic. He had acquired such energy, yet he could only think of how to develop the logistics industry.

But it's not without reason. Again, if anyone could use a portal at any time, what problem can't be solved?

In Marvel, this sentence may only apply to superheroes, ordinary people might be in danger if they use the portal. But if this energy is more popularized, and every ordinary human could use the portal, wouldn't the development of Earth's technology speed up?

While Shiller was waiting for Bruce and standing on the roof thinking about these problems, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was excellent. The more he thought the plan was good, the more distasteful he found these owls.

Now, the children singing a song could summon about twenty to thirty owls, basically one for each person, sometimes even fewer. The time for singing an entire song is about three minutes, which means about ten owls per minute.

However, these owls are the same size as real life owls. They're so tiny that they don't have much energy. Even though their speed and quantity are satisfactory, they just seem too few compared to Shiller's plan.

One significant characteristic of the human race is an inexplicable longing for scalability, automation, and assembly line work. There are even games specifically for satisfying players' desires to continuously expand the production line and improve productivity.
