I'm trapped in a cube

Seeing the patient's changes, Mo Ling was also confused.

The impact of the disease on the mind seems to be much greater than the impact on the body.

Not long after, the patient began to have emotions other than fear and suppressed his fear.

He no longer trembled with fear like he had in the beginning, but instead took joy in the pain and began to accept his newfound power.

Just like the general mentioned in the stone collapse story before.

While using the power brought by the alien disease, they are also adjusting their emotions and adapting to emotions they would not otherwise have.

Gradually become "optimistic".

Looking at the mineral vein in his hand, the patient used lapis lazuli to transform into his previous companions, and even transformed into the square and Li Luo in front of him.

The sadness on his face slowly faded away, and he cheered up again.

"Thank you for believing in me. Something did touch me just now. I can confirm it." He said firmly to Li Luo.

He is very confident now.

Li Luo nodded and asked, "Do you really not know who that is?"

"I don't know. I was in emptiness at that time, similar to the sleep of you humans, and I didn't see it." He thought for a moment and replied slightly apologetically.

After looking at the lapis lazuli in his body, which spread a little more, the patient said to Li Luo: "I'd better stay away from the mineral veins. I'm going to the Different Veins Cave. Thank you."

His tone was very sincere and gentle.

At this time, Mo Ling felt that the alien disease made these mining tribes more cute, but that was also a conclusion drawn from a human perspective.

Perhaps for the mining people, the birth of emotions is an unacceptable thing.

The patient said goodbye to the two of them and walked deeper into the cave.

After setting off again, he was no longer dejected. Instead, he quickened his pace and was full of hope for his journey.

Li Luo looked at his back and fell into deep thought. Then he seemed to think of something and took out the electronic screen and started searching.

Mo Ling quickly moved his vision to the electronic screen.

Li Luo quickly entered a word in the search bar

——The Midas touch.

What is this? Mo Ling continued to read.

After the search was completed, Li Luo clicked on one of the entries.

"This is actually a relic?"

…

The Midas Touch, as the name suggests, can turn anything it touches into gold.

Of course this is only the most superficial application.

This relic was first discovered at the beginning of the Cataclysm.

At that time, the world had not yet fallen into the order changes caused by the cataclysm, and countless relics appeared on the earth.

Some small relics appear in ordinary people's homes and are not even discovered. They are just thought to be some old objects that were suddenly dug out.

Because when they are not in use, they are no different from ordinary things and are unremarkable.

It was at this time that the Midas Touch was discovered.

One day, an ordinary farmer on the Greek island of Crete dug out a pair of old gloves in the cabinet at home.

This pair of gloves looks like ordinary leather gloves that can be worn to do farm work. Although they look dusty, they are not damaged.

The farmer named Midas runs an olive plantation at home and makes a living by selling olives to companies that extract olive oil.

The olive grove is not big and Midas can manage it at home. It just needs frequent pruning and irrigation, which makes it quite busy.

Midas thought that his family had bought the gloves and left them in the cabinet. He checked them carefully and found that they were still usable.

So he washed the gloves and dried them. After a few days, he put them in his bag and planned to take them to harvest olives.

The height of the olive trees and the complex topography of the olive groves make the picking work very difficult. In many cases, Midas climbed to the trees using ropes to pick.

He usually wears gloves or puts protective tape on his nails to prevent damage to the sensitive olive fruits.

The gloves fit just right, so he climbed into the olive tree and put on the comfortable gloves.

But the moment he touched the olive fruit, the point of contact turned directly into gold, and the golden color spread to the entire fruit.

The experienced Midas suddenly felt something was wrong and let go of his hand.

Soon, the golden color directly covered the entire olive fruit.

Midas was a little surprised and pulled out the golden fruit.

The strange feel and heavy weight made Midas think it was some kind of prank, so he threw the fruit directly under the tree.

But when he stared at another fruit and put his hand on it, the same thing happened, and the golden color spread again.

This olive fruit has changed into that strange appearance again.

Midas almost thought he had seen it wrong, so he experimented a few more times and found that all the olives he touched looked like that.

He thought he had eaten something bad and had some hallucination. He didn't even take off his gloves and quickly grabbed the rope to get down.

But just this grab turned the rope into gold...

Taking off his gloves, Midas finally slid down the olive tree. After many experiments under the tree, Midas finally determined that the problem was with the gloves.

At this time, his surroundings were filled with golden things, branches, grass, stones...

They all turned golden and felt heavy in the hand.

He looked at these things, and the more he looked at them, the more familiar they became, so he took these golden things to the gold shop.

As expected, it was gold.

Is this the Midas Touch? Midas's heart was already full of surprises.

At that time, news about the catastrophe was everywhere, and people were advised on TV every day not to try to use relics, as there would be unknown costs.

Officials also notify residents in the town every day to hand in the relics they find and not to use them privately.

This was counterproductive, and Midas learned information about the Cataclysm and determined that his glove was a relic.

He didn't even want to turn it in.

The operating conditions of the farm are not optimistic. After monopolizing the oil extraction industry chain, olive oil companies want to extend their hands to the planting industry.

These small plantations are in danger of being caught between big companies.

Under the constant pressure to lower prices, Midas' family has become very difficult.

"Use it for a period of time, make some money, and then hand it over. The official won't care about this little detail anyway." Midas thought to himself.

So he started making gold.

He still went to the plantation every day, greeted the neighbors, pretended to be nonchalant, and then returned home with some plantation stones in his pocket.

Then in the evening, I talked to my family about overhauling farm equipment, and went to the garage to turn stones into gold.

Finally, on the weekend, I went to town and found some gangster workers to help me sell them.

With a little favor, these workers will help him work like crazy.

The amount of gold was very small, but the quantity could not be tolerated, and Midas made a lot of money.

He felt that his wonderful life had begun.

But he didn't know that the price had already been paid quietly.
