Chapter 371. Dull Powder

Chapter 371: 371. Dull Powder

She couldn’t believe that the researchers have such a bad taste for name like this. But thinking about the names of those scientific things that was so hard to remember... Lucy felt that such an easy name was better.

Compared to a long name that was hard to spell and hard to write, Lucy definitely prefer such a simple name.

Of course, it would not change the fact that she felt the person who named this dull powder had such bad naming sense. What kind of name is this dull powder? A literal name?

Lucy sighed at the low creativity of the person who made this name.

"That’s the worst name I have ever heard." Mark couldn’t agree more.

Even Lucas’s expression showed several questions marks on his face. He couldn’t understand how it ended up with such an unremarkable name.

He himself had been mocked by his friends because his naming ability was not very good, but even he would not name something with dull powder. It was a really strange name.

Anna blinked her eyes.

That name was better than just saying grey substance because there were so many things with grey color in the world.

But still.

That person naming ability is worse than her.

That much was definitely true.

Yes, Anna believed that.

Alicia laughed. "Yeah, everyone also said that but they agreed with this name. They felt that the color was indeed very dull, but the effect was remarkable and rather scary. The main reason why they picked this name is because they know that they would never be able to truly understand the real essence of this dull powder. At least, not now."

Everyone was listening carefully.

Alicia used to be a teacher, so she was happy to share her knowledge with others. The others were also happy to listen to her story and words. This was how they all used to befriend each other in the past.

Alicia would tell them stories.

And the children listened to her before they all went to bed.

She was like a big sister to them.

Well, except for Lucas who was only a few years younger than Alicia and didn’t really like hearing children stories.

The others were already used to treat Alicia as their big sister and let her tell them various stories and even some class knowledge. Thus, at this time, they were all like obedient students who listened to their teacher.

"The researchers have their conference quite often and the results are usually quite remarkable." Alicia smiled. "But for this substance, they couldn’t purify it any further and could only use it. Not to mention that the type of things that can produce this dull powder are limited and not everything contained the dull powder."

"How do you know if something contains the dull powder or not?" Mark asked.

"We don’t know until we tested it, which is why there are some places that are being tested and protected such as the lake right outside City A and now jointly owned by three cities." Alicia smiled.

The others came to realization.

No wonder that lake was heavily protected.

And when talking about that lake, what Anna could remember was only those fierce fishes. That must have been the effect of the dull powder to the fishes, making them become very fierce and mutated.

The concentration there was indeed quite good.

It was just that taking the dull powder from that lake would definitely take some time, which was definitely not easy. After all, who knew what would those fierce fishes do when they got closer and tried to take more of the lake water.

They definitely wouldn’t let it go so easily.

The soldiers who were guarding that lake definitely didn’t have it easy.

"But that shouldn’t be the only place, right?" Anna asked.

She could see the essence after awakening her ability. Those things that contained the dull powder and mixed together with it was mostly called essence by Anna. After all, she honestly didn’t know what to call them before.

This was why she could also absorb these essences on her own, which was her basis of practicing these days. And these essences were basically could only be seen on dead items or even dead animals.

It was the two principles that Anna knew.

When these big mutated rats died, Anna could see that their body was brimming with these essences. It was not as much as the dead tiger, but she could still see some of their essences.

Thus, she knew that if the blood from these big mutated rats were to be given to plants, the plants would also contain more of the dull powder essence.

Not that she would use these big mutated rats’ corpses, though.

Her ability was better.

But Anna felt that these big mutated rats’ corpses that contained a lot of dull powder might be able to be used for other things. After all, it would be a waste if they didn’t use the dull powder that was inside of these bodies.

The only problem was how to use it.

Anna had already told Uncle Darien to use it as fertilizer for plants because she knew that these big mutated rats’ corpses could decompose and then the dull powder will definitely mix with the ground.

But this process was definitely not a fast one.

It took a long time.

"Yes, there are a few others, but I can’t tell you." Alicia smiled wryly. She was under the confidential contract, so she couldn’t reveal the other things.

The others nodded when Alicia said that. They knew that Alicia couldn’t share everything that she knew because there were restrictions. The researchers wouldn’t be wiling to let her enter the research institute if she didn’t sign them.

Mark also knew it was to prevent his family from benefiting the most from what Alicia knew from the research institute. Naturally, they could still know some common things but the most important one couldn’t be told through Alicia.

At this time, Alicia looked at Anna. "So, you do know that ingesting the dull powder directly can also help you advance your abilities, right?"
