Chapter 678
Treasure Hunt
Luo Feng nodded slightly, then turned to look at Dilun beside him: "Dilun, you can cultivate here at this outpost for a while." "Your Highness, please be careful when you're alone," Dilun reminded him. For over two hundred years, Dilun had followed him closely, rarely letting Luo Feng leave his protection. "Haha, careful of what?" Longjue King laughed loudly. "This is Wulong Starfield, a truly important place. How could there be any danger? Besides, there are plenty of powerful experts stationed here. If there's any movement, the alert system will immediately detect it. Beings of Universe Venerable-level can arrive anywhere in Wulong Starfield instantly." "Dilun, did you hear that?" Luo Feng smiled, looking at Dilun. "Longjue King, then I'll go in first," Luo Feng said. "Haha, go ahead. Don't forget to go treasure hunting in those garbage mountains. Maybe you'll strike it rich. Our Wulong Starfield, over 3,000 eras ago, had an internal member who casually went treasure hunting and found a fragment of an ancient treasure. He resold it and earned hundreds of millions of Primal Chaos Units. He became rich overnight!" Longjue King exclaimed. "Although the various wreckage is sorted very carefully, the sheer quantity is too vast. Even robots sometimes make mistakes in sorting. Occasionally, someone digs up a treasure." "How many have dug up something worth over a hundred million Primal Chaos Units?" Luo Feng asked in return. "In the past ten thousand eras, only two," Longjue King said. Luo Feng shook his head. The Nine Great Garbage Starfields attract many high-ranking individuals from across humanity's territory. They send their Sector Lord-level subordinates to purchase and select goods. The daily transaction volume is extremely high... Each transaction, depending on its size, comes with different World Rings to go treasure hunting in the garbage mountains. But in nearly a hundred million years, only two people have obtained truly sky-high treasures. Clearly, the probability is extremely low. "Treasure hunting, treasure hunting, it's about finding treasures, but it's just a bonus from our Wulong Starfield. Don't really expect to get many treasures unless you're extremely lucky," Longjue King teased. Luo Feng smiled. Then, after bidding farewell to Longjue King and Dilun, he directly said to the two white-robed individuals: "Two guides, let's go." The two white-robed individuals respectfully said: "Yes, Lord Luo Feng." One white-robed person waved a hand, and an 80-meter diameter saucer-shaped spaceship appeared in mid-air. At the same time, he respectfully said: "Lord Luo Feng, to travel within Wulong Starfield, you need to use our internal standard spacecraft. Other spacecraft that trespass will be attacked. Please enter, Lord." "Mm." Luo Feng and the two white-robed individuals flew into the hatch. Immediately, the spaceship rapidly accelerated to light speed, disappearing into the distant starry sky. ... Longjue King, Dilun, and others watched the spaceship depart. "Dilun, how long do you think Luo Feng will be back?" Longjue King smiled. "Ten days to half a month," Dilun said. "I'd guess at least half a year," Longjue King laughed heartily. Then, he and the group who greeted him directly traversed hundreds of thousands of kilometers through space, flying into the palace in the distance. ... The standard saucer-shaped spaceship flew for a moment in the Dark Universe before returning to the Primal Universe. "Lord Luo Feng, although we only flew for a short while in the Dark Universe, if we were to fly slowly in Wulong Starfield to the Sector Lord-level Zerg corpse area, it would take at least a hundred years." The silver-white saucer stopped in the starry sky, its hatch opening. Luo Feng and the two white-robed individuals flew out, and one of the white-robed persons continued speaking. "I understand. One light-year in the Primal Universe is just over three light-seconds in the Dark Universe," Luo Feng said, his eyes scanning the surroundings. Heavens! The area within dozens of light-seconds around them was empty, but beyond that, there were endless Zerg corpses. "Purchasing Zerg corpses always starts from here," the slightly taller white-robed person smiled. "Your Highness, please tell me the metal plate numbers." "Whoosh!" Luo Feng flipped his hand, and immediately 200 metal plates appeared, startling the two white-robed individuals beside him. The two white-robed individuals carefully examined them. "B2461—95453—13402—96289—71859," "B2446—56453—13202—96226—43193"... The numbers were complex and frighteningly numerous. After checking the numbers, the two white-robed individuals looked down at the intelligent optical computers on their wrists, quickly searching. Soon, they looked up respectfully at Luo Feng. "Lord Luo Feng, the 200 Zerg corpse units represented by these 200 metal plates are not far apart, but each has some distance from the others. Calculating the total route, if we fly ourselves, with us two carrying Lord Luo Feng, flying at 100,000 kilometers per second, it would take about 13 days to visit all of them," the slightly taller white-robed person smiled. "This distance is considered relatively close." Luo Feng muttered to himself. For Wulong Starfield, which has a diameter of millions of light-years, being able to check all the goods in just over ten days of flying was indeed considered very close. "Let's go," Luo Feng ordered. "Yes." The two white-robed guides simultaneously released their World Energy, enveloping Luo Feng. Then, they transformed into a streak of light and flew rapidly. Peak Sector Lord-level experts could easily maintain sub-light speed flight, while Undying Gods could fully achieve light-speed travel, shuttling between the Dark Universe and Primal Universe with their physical bodies. "So many," Luo Feng looked around. Dense, endless goods filled the entire starry sky, with only tunnels貫穿 through them. The three of them were flying along one such tunnel, about several hundred kilometers wide. "Endless Zerg corpses, almost all shattered remains," Luo Feng thought, as he flew rapidly through the tunnel, simultaneously scanning nearby Zerg warrior corpses with his mental force. "These are peak Domain Lord-level corpses. Longjue King was right; the Zerg corpses here are varied, with top-tier Zerg and lesser Zerg. The prices indeed differ." After flying for a full eight days. Luo Feng and the two white-robed individuals finally arrived at the peak Sector Lord-level Zerg corpse area. ... One of the observation posts in Wulong Starfield. A lean man with black scales covering his head sat silently on his bed, looking at the projection screen before him. It displayed a detailed surveillance map of the entire Wulong Starfield. The entire starfield was under surveillance, with countless dense light points appearing all over the map. Anyone in the cargo storage area of Wulong Starfield could not escape surveillance. "Area B24, zoom in." The lean man with glowing green eyes watched carefully, simultaneously ordering his intelligent optical computer, "Lock onto those three figures." Beep! On one section of the B24 surveillance map, three light points were constantly moving. Two of these light points were white, and one was red. "Buying Zerg corpses?" "No. 3, Luo Feng?" The lean man's glowing green eyes silently stared at the surveillance map. As an internal observer of Wulong Starfield, every observer could see the surveillance map. If any point in the entire starfield's surveillance malfunctioned, these observers would immediately detect it and promptly repair or reinstall it. After all... How difficult was it to monitor a starfield millions of light-years in diameter? With a large number of instruments, it was very easy for some instruments to malfunction. "No. 3 has been in the Zerg corpse area for two days. I can set off!" Whoosh! The lean man stood up directly, and the screen projected by his intelligent optical computer dissipated. "Whoosh!" The alloy door opened, and the lean man walked out. "Ke Sier." In the corridor, a burly ape-man laughed, "What, going out?" "I'm bored. I still have three treasure hunt opportunities left, so I'm going to try one. Hey, are you coming?" The lean man said with a smile. The ape-man looked a bit envious, shaking his head: "I used up all my treasure hunt opportunities as soon as they were issued. I'm so envious that you still have three." "Haha... then I'm off. Wish me luck in finding treasures." The lean man walked out with a smile. "You can dream on," the ape-man shook his head. Rumble~~~ The seemingly ordinary rock on the outermost layer of the asteroid split open. The lean man with glowing green eyes looked around, then waved his hand, and a silver-white saucer-shaped spaceship appeared out of thin air. He boarded the spaceship and rapidly accelerated, performing a cosmic warp. ... A moment later. Outside the palace suspended in the starry sky, ripples spread, and a silver-white saucer-shaped spaceship appeared. After retracting the spaceship, the lean man, No. 6, flew directly towards a side hall at the edge of the palace. His arrival did not cause any obstruction from the guards. "Ke Sier, why are you here?" "Bored, going to try my luck in those garbage mountains." The lean man, No. 6, casually exchanged a few words with the familiar guards, then entered the side hall. Inside the side hall. There were quite a few people sitting. "I'm here to claim a World Ring. I still have three treasure hunt opportunities," the lean man said directly, sitting on a chair and addressing a white-robed person in front of him. "I've already submitted the application in the Virtual Universe." "Ah, Ke Sier, haha, wait a moment." The white-robed person split a wisp of consciousness into the Virtual Universe to perform the operation. "Alright, this is a Small World Ring. Remember, you must return the ring after the treasure hunt is over. You can put the treasures you find into your internal world," the white-robed person said. "Don't worry, you're so long-winded. Wouldn't I know?" Ke Sier laughed. "Then I wish you good luck." The white-robed person tossed out a black World Ring. Ke Sier smiled, reached out to catch it, then leisurely walked out. Halfway out, he turned back and said: "I remember treasure hunting... we get a maximum of one year, right?" "That's right, one year," the white-robed person said impatiently. "Haha, this year will be easy then," Ke Sier said, raising an eyebrow triumphantly. ... Treasure hunting, in Wulong Starfield and the other Nine Great Garbage Starfields, has become a tradition. This is because, historically, there have indeed been some lucky individuals who stumbled upon astonishingly valuable, sky-high treasures. After all, some garbage mountains in the garbage starfields have been accumulating for countless eons, and it's possible some treasures were overlooked. Therefore! Coupled with the strong demands from some grassroots personnel within the Nine Great Garbage Starfields, and the high-level officials also believing that garbage mountains are inherently about luck, with very few true treasures, and considering that the grassroots work is indeed very monotonous, the high-level officials agreed. Thus, a welfare benefit was established: internal members get one "Small World Ring" treasure hunt opportunity every 10,000 years.
