Chapter 164: Unveiling
“That’s possible?” Luca blinked up at Jax.
Weirdly enough, he never thought about doing that. Or maybe it was because back in Tesseris, there would’ve been no need for it.
And, well, where was he supposed to place items in his tank?
And for what?
“Host, that should be possible. It’s the same as taking out the produce, but as for the wilting, maybe the conditions outside weren’t up to par?” D-29 may be right.
Maybe there were plants that wouldn’t be able to survive here?
“But D-29, what about bringing plants from outside?” Luca realized that he hadn’t collected plants from here and couldn’t even tell what vegetables or fruits they had.
“Then that should also be possible, the same way you brought in the plants you have today!” Answered the little system that saw no conflict in bringing in things.
So he figured he’d ask.
But to his surprise, everyone just looked at him unblinkingly.
Did he say something wrong? The little chipmunk’s brows furrowed as he waited for Kyle, who looked like he was about to say something.
“About that. We’ve heard of fruits being grown on trees, but for a very long time now, we’ve only had them cultured in tanks.” Kyle rubbed the back of his neck as he remembered how surprised they were to see actual fruit trees.
They sure had some trees, but the ones that survived barely produced anything. So, if anyone wanted any chance of getting fruits, one must look for small shrubs or smaller vines.
In unchartered planets.
It was that bad.
The hypothesis was that smaller plants may have less spiritual energy as they’re typically younger in years.
And since the corruption reacts to said spiritual energy, it was more likely to hunt for these trees and may allow for smaller shrubs to survive with their nearly negligible count.
But these would typically all vanish the moment the water sources get contaminated, practically infecting the entire ecosystem and eventually damning the planet.
When Luca heard the explanation, he realized he hadn’t particularly dissected the concept of an interstellar farm.
If anything, he thought it was one thing he knew since the orphanage was pretty close to one.
Only to now find out that it wasn’t even grown in something like a tower or hydroponic set-up but in outright genetic culturing inside tanks.
What even was that?
“So there are no plants or animals that we could bring into the space? Is that what this actually means?” Asked the hopeful hoarder who got a different kind of news.
“There could’ve been! Had they not been contaminated by corruption. Worse, some may have mutated and turned into human-eating plants or something!”
Ollie shivered as he finally recovered, his head clearing when he heard about taking things from outside back into the space.
Not to mention his heavy emotional and mostly monetary investment in the state of these plants, animals, and even minerals that have been lost because of the corruption.
The sheer number of discarded inventory!
Sigh.
But while everyone remembered their sad reality, one money-grubber’s ears kept twitching in unrestrained delight.
And Xavier noticed it.

Luca’s neck was suddenly flushed red, and for a while, he thought that he might have been emotionally distraught.
And the little chipmunk was, in a sense, distressed as he lamented how they couldn’t head straight for these planets!
But who knew that the little crow’s mouth had been promoted! It may have been a thought for one aspiring cleaner, but it would mark the beginning of their earning, well, clearing operations!
But before that, certain people needed particular answers.
Jax had to know.
And was surprised when they were dragged into the underground floor that they usually visited to access the training hall.
All along, they had been staring at the giant machine that was apparently called the ‘Recycler.’
“This is what I meant by recycling.” Luca presented the inconspicuous machine that almost killed him the last time.
“I don’t exactly use the corruption itself on the plants, but I just recently learned that recycling would churn out byproducts that the space used to support itself.”
The little chipmunk dashed around, showing everyone his recent discoveries.
When the Duke first heard about the miraculous spiritual water, he thought that was it.
Their Holy Grail.
But what was his son doing with this much concentrated spiritual essence?!
While he managed to survive the earlier ordeal, he feared this could do it for him!
And what a shame because he hadn’t even been with his son for more than an actual week!
His heart was probably going to give out with everything that he was seeing.
“Your Grace. How exactly are we supposed to hide this from everyone? And are we even supposed to?” Butler Gary murmured as he looked at this treasure before him.
In the Butler’s mind, it wasn’t even the recycler or that concentrated essence but their Young Lord, who looked excited as he shared what he knew.
He had long given his absolute loyalty to the House of Kyros, even when they had no idea if there was a future in any of this.
But look how far they’ve gone.
What future for the House of Kyros?
He was looking at the future of the Empire!
Figuratively and literally, but that was for some other time.
For now, they could only marvel at how there was at least one way to use the corruption!
“Is this how you cleaned up the corrupted ancient spider?” Xavier asked as he tried figuring out how they could use the parameters to their advantage.
“Yes, and only by accident because before that, it could only disintegrate the corrupted waste. It was only recently that I’ve managed to upgrade.”
It was such a shame because there could’ve been a few more materials had he obtained this feature from the very beginning.’
However, everyone else hung onto a different word.
Luca just said ‘upgrade.’
“Luca, you said this was upgraded? Was that when the space suddenly expanded? Enough for us to suddenly have our own cabins?”
The tour guide nodded earnestly.
“So, brother, this isn’t all of it?” Ollie asked as he clutched at his pumping heart.
“I don’t think so.” Luca shrugged, similarly unsure.
But it couldn’t be.
Not when it was everyone’s last hope.
