Without Michael's active stop, the mutated gem had been obediently working according to Michael's previous commands.
"Indeed!"
"I knew it!"
"If it was one point per minute, in six hours, it definitely wouldn't increase by 628 points. That's simply not enough."
"After waking up, not only was the energy his body inherently contained fully replenished, but even the mutated gem's energy increased by 628 points."
"It really is because the energy absorbed per minute has increased!"
Michael looked as if he had expected it, even nodding repeatedly, quite pleased with himself.
"Then, it's time to try the effect of adding some reflective mirrors!"
Shaking off the sand from his body, Michael chose a direction and sat down cross-legged.
With a thought, spending a bit of energy, a full-length mirror as tall as Michael was materialized and appeared directly at the pre-calculated angle.
As the mirror was set up, a beam of reflected sunlight indeed shone on Michael's body, illuminating his entire front.

"Holy crap!"
"It really works!"
Michael couldn't help but shout!
"Add more!"
"Add more!"
"Today, I must find out the limit!"
Michael began to continuously materialize mirrors.
And Michael's energy absorption effect also began to increase sharply.

+132... Until he was absorbing 132 energy points per second, Michael stopped materializing mirrors.
It wasn't that Michael's limit for absorbing light energy had been reached, nor was it that Michael himself didn't want to absorb anymore, nor was it that the energy absorption had reached its maximum value.
Instead, it was because it was evening, and the Sun was almost below the horizon!
Due to the angle, Michael couldn't place any more mirrors!
Each mirror added two points to the per-minute absorption limit, and Michael materialized a total of 65 mirrors.
Including Michael himself being exposed to the light, he could absorb 132 energy points per minute!
If he could continue, how could Michael not add more!
However, even so, it was more than enough!
At least, in these short ten minutes, Michael had absorbed another 1000 energy points, which was enough to make him incredibly excited! Of course, as the number of mirrors increased, Michael had to get up himself to move and adjust the angle of the mirrors, which wasted some energy.
This made Michael a bit uncomfortable.
"It seems I still need to actualize an intelligent, mobile mirror reflection array!"
"I'll sit right in the middle, and these reflective mirrors will intelligently rotate on their own to ensure that all sunlight always shines on me!"
Michael silently summarized.
"Sigh~"
"Underachievers are indeed naturally despised!"
"Even if there's no one around, I still despise myself!"
"How could it take me so long to think of this problem."
"If it were a top student or a genius, they would probably have actualized an intelligently controlled reflective mirror array from the very beginning!"
Michael couldn't help but let out a deep sigh from the bottom of his heart.
"Wait!"
"How could a top student or a genius actualize an intelligently controlled reflective mirror array!"
"I should have thought of it a long time ago!"
"Just go to space!"
"With the ability of Mind Teleportation, going to space is even simpler than sprinkling Water!"
"Damn it all!"
"I'm just stupid!"
"Clark next door already gave me a demonstration, so why am I still absorbing Sun light within Earth that has been processed by the atmosphere!"
"If I went directly to space to absorb Sun light without any loss, wouldn't my energy have been refilled a long time ago?"
Michael almost couldn't resist slapping himself.
"Indeed!"
"Knowledge is the primary productive force!"
"It seems I need to find some time to copy the specialized knowledge of those experts and Professors!"
"I refuse to believe that with specialized knowledge, I'd still be so foolishly experimenting step by step!"
Michael got angry.
He directly waved his hand and reclaimed all the actualized mirrors!
That's right, reclaimed!
This was a function Michael had just discovered after actualizing more mirrors.
Actualizing one energy point also reclaims one energy point; on this point, the mutated gem didn't deduct Michael's energy.
Although reclaiming 65 mirrors only yielded 65 points, even a mosquito's leg is still meat.
What's more, just a day ago, Michael had to fight for every single one of those 5 fractional energy points!
Diligence and frugality are excellent traditions of the Chinese nation, so how could Michael be so extravagant as to waste something that could be reclaimed!
After reclaiming all the mirrors, Michael's energy absorption plummeted from 132 per minute to 2 points per minute.
It was a bit uncomfortable!
But Michael didn't immediately set off for space.
Compared to the pitch-black and lonely void of space where even sound cannot travel, at least for now, the beautiful sunset view before Michael was worth appreciating, wasn't it?
His heart had just been heavy for a while, and it was a good time to use this beautiful scenery, which he had never seen before his transmigration, to wash away his gloomy mood... Bang~~~
Another sonic boom came.
Michael's body suddenly jolted.
It was indeed a sonic boom!
He definitely hadn't misheard it before; he was absolutely woken up by a sonic boom!
Michael turned cautiously, looking in the direction of the sound's origin.
However, that glance made Michael somewhat dazed.
"How did this guy appear here?"
A big question mark immediately popped up in Michael's mind.
"Huh?"
"No, that's not right!"
"Why is he coming towards me?"
After two enhancements, Michael's eyesight was excellent, and he saw the guy flying over from a distance!
"Wait!"
"I'm not wearing a mask!"
"It's over, it's all over, I'm exposed now!"
Swish!!!
Before Michael could react.
The guy flying over performed a beautiful aerial stop, landing lightly on the sand in front of Michael, his two feet sinking deep into the sand, making a "swish swish" sound.
"Hey~"
"Kid, were you kidnapped?" "Need a ride home on the Iron Man?"
With a click, the newcomer's helmet sprang open, revealing a face that made Michael's emotions complex, as he asked with a playful raise of his eyebrows.
"Hey!"
"Lucky kid who just immigrated to the American Federation?"
"The great Iron Man is talking to you!"
"Need a ride home on the Iron Man?"
Michael didn't answer, he just looked at the famous Tony Stark from the Marvel Universe, his expression complicated.
