Conducting such experiments in public environments like airships or inns is obviously not safe, and fixed laboratories lack sufficient flexibility.

A portable private space could not only solve this problem but also provide him with an undisturbed research environment.

He carefully returned the Void Gem to the Crystal Box, then picked up the Heart-devouring Stone.

This emerald crystal trembled slightly in his hand, as if sensing his emotional fluctuations.

Ron could feel that whenever his thoughts wavered, the dark green mist at the core of the crystal would correspondingly spin and accelerate, as if absorbing these intangible emotional energies.

"The Heart-devouring Stone can absorb and store emotional energy and magic power..." Ron pondered:

"This trait might be applicable in the construction of a Simulation Battle Device."

The Mobile Simulation Battle Device is currently one of his most important projects.

"In simulation battles, the emotional fluctuations generated when fighting strong enemies or dying are exceptionally intense."

Ron recalled his experiences with the School's Simulation Battle Device:

"If the Heart-devouring Stone could be integrated into the device's core, this emotional energy wouldn't be wasted but would serve as an additional energy source for the device."

Perhaps when the technology advances, he could also integrate collected Soul Fragments into the device.

These fragments inherently carry the emotional memories of their original owners, capable of producing continuous emotional fluctuations, providing a stable energy source for the Heart-devouring Stone.

"It could also be used during night-time meditation." Ron thought of another use:

"The 'Star Projection' Meditation Technique continuously generates magic power, it's wasteful to let it overflow during the process. Better to channel the excess magic power into the Heart-devouring Stone as a backup energy source for the device."

No energy should be wasted, but rather find the most appropriate way to transform and utilize it, which is also a reflection of his inherent virtue of frugality.

Finally, Ron turned his gaze to the Abyss Crystal.

Unlike the previous two items, this purple-black crystal emitted a dangerous sense of instability.

The frequency of flashing electric lights within it was irregular, and the surface temperature constantly fluctuated, clearly containing extremely frenzied Abyssal Energy.

"This thing shouldn't be handled too much now."

Ron cautiously placed it into a multi-layered protective container: "Handling it rashly may lead to energy out of control, causing an explosion."

He deeply understood the dangers of Abyssal Energy, especially like this high-concentration crystal which, if mishandled, could cause irreparable disasters.

A rational researcher would never risk satisfying temporary curiosity.

"When we reach the Crystal Tower and have a stable experimental environment, I'll consider using it for charging the Stand-In Puppet."

Ron made a decision: "With the Stand-In Puppet's affinity for Abyssal Energy, this crystal might rapidly advance its charging progress."

After arranging these valuable materials, he stood up and went to the window.

The sky had completely darkened, and stars began to twinkle in the deep blue night sky.

He could feel the energy within the starlight flowing continuously into his body through the 'Star Projection,' nourishing his Magic Core.

Ron took a deep breath, feeling the steadily growing power within him.

Since becoming an Official Wizard, his strength has been steadily increasing, but it's far from enough.

The depths of the Great Abyss, the secrets of bloodlines, the truth of the stars...

There are still too many unknowns waiting for him to explore.

And every harvest, every new project, is a step toward that ultimate goal.

"Tomorrow I'll continue exploring Town 69 to see what's special in that 'Shadow Area' merchandise."

Ron silently planned his goals:

"If I'm lucky, I might find some materials that are still in urgent shortage."

Outside the window, the figures of Dale and Ailan appeared on the airship deck.

The Little Sea Siren was enthusiastically demonstrating to Ailan a Water Ball Transformation Technique she had just learned, shaping the water ball into various animal forms.

Ailan watched patiently, occasionally using vines to lightly applaud in appreciation.

Ron's lips curved slightly upward.

Power is a tool, not a goal; knowledge is a path, not a destination.

Retracting his gaze, he began preparing for tonight's meditation.

The 'Star Projection' trait was always activated, and tonight's Star Force was especially abundant, making it an excellent opportunity to enhance Spiritual Power and Magic Power.

He sat crossed-legged on the Meditation Mat, slowly closing his eyes, and his consciousness began to extend toward the sea of stars, immersing, unifying...
