"Everyone stay put!"
The mining security captain, who had chosen to surrender and nearly got killed, was now guarding these five or six hundred Harkonnen warriors with his n in their power armor.
The four-ter-tall machines, together with their prominent gun muzzles, were enough to keep these Harkonnen warriors in line.
As for the ninjas from the Sand Hidden Village, all of them had disappeared without a trace except for Masu, who was captured alive by Tao Yu.
The ninjas didn’t have much loot on them, so Tao Yu didn’t bother to chase after them. Instead, he gathered around four hundred intact ’Holzman Shields’.
At least four million in inco!
"They can be sold to our company’s people to enhance their safety ratio."
Although a single shield wasn’t very large, Tao Yu still sealed every hundred of them into a sealing scroll and then threw them into the Corpse Hiding Mirror.
Just this inco alone was a huge profit.
Ever since he had killed the Fortune Thief from Great Tang and acquired various incos from secret manuals and training to offset previous debts, he had been living off dividends in the following two months, with no additional inco.
And now, a big windfall had suddenly co his way!
Moreover...
Tao Yu turned his gaze to Raban and Masu and then inquired,
"How many soldiers does the Harkonnen Family have? What are their ard forces like? And how many such shields do they have?"
Tao Yu picked up a ’Holzman Shield’ and asked.
Raban opened his mouth as if hesitating, but rembering Tao Yu’s earlier display of control, he spoke with so trepidation,
"Our territory was once occupied by the Atreides Family, and we had only recently regained it. But then this strange change in the world happened, and the earth beca square. Currently, we can only contact about five thousand people, and we have three thousand personal Holzman Shields."
But he glanced at Tao Yu and added,
"Now, there are probably a little over two thousand left. Maybe you could try going there... ah ah ah~"
Before Raban could finish speaking, he was electrocuted by Tao Yu, shaking uncontrollably and collapsing on the ground, having lost control of his bladder and bowels.
"Heh, you think with your world’s buffs that these shields could stop or even cause trouble?"
Tao Yu knew Raban’s ill intentions and scoffed.
It wasn’t as many as he expected, but it wasn’t a small number either.
It seed they had just experienced so sort of disaster on their end. The original stock of three thousand shields and five thousand n had been whittled down by nearly a thousand in their probing and invading. Most of the remaining shields seed to have ended up in his possession.
Seeing Raban slowly recovering from the shock, Tao Yu continued to question,
"Tell about ’Spice’ and the witches you ntioned."
Having been shocked, Raban was noticeably more submissive. Looking at how the prisoners were being handled without arbitrary executions, it seed he genuinely preferred staying alive.
"’Spice’ is a specialty of Erakos Star and is an extrely valuable resource. It can augnt ntal faculties and even prolong life, allowing humans to break through the two-hundred-year lifespan barrier..."
Raban did his best to praise Spice, but Tao Yu still detected so issues.
This ’Spice’ wasn’t as magical as he had imagined; it seed to have its limits.
It was sowhat similar to ’Blood Orchid,’ offering a slight enhancent, but even stacking it would reach a ceiling of benefits and develop tolerance.
He described the witches of the Sisterhood, who apparently consud Spice while undergoing strict training until they achieved complete control over their bodies, even being able to determine the sex of their offspring.
Additionally, long-term consumption of Spice could activate abilities such as ’Prophecy’ and ’Clairvoyance’ in individuals with talents.
For instance, the navigators of the Guild possessed such abilities, but they paid the price of becoming deford and needed to soak in Spice tanks.
In a sense, they were a biological AI, a replacent that appeared after rejecting the use of chanical artificial intelligence.
For normal people, there was a daily limit to Spice consumption. Exceeding this limit would greatly diminish the effects or even cause side effects.
"...It is said that the Sisterhood’s witches can also perform clairvoyance, but I think oftentis it’s just them playing tricks. They also possess the ability to control people’s minds for a short period."
Raban spoke cautiously.
"I see. What’s the production rate of Spice? Is it easy to mine?"
"It’s scarce, as it’s a secretion from young sandworms that also requires ti to tamorphose. It’s all buried in the sand, so we need to refine a large amount of sand from the sandworms’ active areas. We currently have two mining zones left, but those damned Fren are there."
```
Even though that world had already been greatly affected, Tao Yu still felt that in terms of value, it probably wasn’t inferior to the superconductive mines of the World of Avatar.
Sandworms? A kind of small insect?
Since it’s a secretion, then when the ti cos, why not just dosticate sandworms and chanize the collection process!
So, this interstellar civilization is really not putting in the effort.
"Just a superconductive mine and the previously ntioned Inner Strength have already caused these waves, not to ntion the spice and its effect on the current Developnt Zone, whether it’s a blessing or a curse."
Tao Yu felt sowhat emotional.
The instructors from Great Tang haven’t arrived yet, but based on their speed, they should be here soon.
Once they’re here, they will help people enter the ’Domain’ early, integrating a system to unify their own strength, combined with the Spirit Vitality bonus inherent to the World of Great Tang. Now, adding spice that can enhance a certain level of ntal power...
This combination punch directly elevates the value of the new Developnt Zone once again!
"I understand now, what’s the deal with these ninjas?"
"They were also discovered later on. When we found them, they were competing with the Fren for water sources. Then we hired them, provided them with essential living supplies, and also offered a few Holzman Shields. The spice seems to enhance their abilities as well."
Raban glanced at Masu, and his words were not surprising, as ninjas’ Chakra is the life energy of cells and spiritual energy fused together by Divine Tree fungal filants, so it’s only natural that stronger ntal power would enhance Chakra.
"Who’s in charge of your Sand Hiding Village now? Anything strange happening?"
Tao Yu turned his gaze back to Masu.
Having already exploited Hidden Mist Village once, the value that could be extracted from Sand Hiding Village had greatly diminished.
"Currently, it’s Fourth Kazekage Rasa in charge. Apart from this great change in heaven and earth, nothing else has occurred."
"What about the experts in the village?"
Tao Yu asked, and Masu went silent. The previous questions were answerable, but when it ca to the village’s fighting power, he also had his own convictions.
Interrogating such a ninja with Illusion Techniques was sowhat difficult, but Tao Yu also had his own thods.
"Chiyo? Ebizo? Yecang?"
As Tao Yu nad each individual, combined with Unity of Heaven and Man and the suppression of his original Illusion Techniques, he roughly received corresponding feedback from him.
Masu realized there was a problem and his expression changed. He wanted to change his thoughts but discovered that under the other’s Illusion Technique, his thoughts beca very disorderly and he could hardly focus his will, instinctively providing so responses.
So strong!
Masu had experience with interrogation, and he deeply understood just how difficult this technique was.
Although not as formidable as those secret techniques that directly read thoughts, it was still extrely terrifying.
"Yecang isn’t dead yet? Does she know she’s been sold out by Rasa? Oh, you didn’t know either..."
Tao Yu watched the shocked expression on Masu’s face and couldn’t help but smile. Rasa had done a good job keeping secrets, and with Yecang’s temperant, it made sense that she would ultimately obey the Fourth Kazekage without knowing the truth.
"What about Shukaku?"
"Shukaku is currently sealed, but where exactly, I’m not sure."
Masu sighed, no longer resisting, as he originally didn’t know about this matter.
The sealing of Shukaku in Sand Hiding Village was not assigned to them, but was accomplished by their own thods.
"Alright, one last question for you. Has your moon changed?"
Tao Yu asked casually, but this really stunned Masu, who then hesitantly said,
"I’m not sure, our moon has undergone so changes, but Raban and the others say that there wasn’t such a thing in their sky before; it’s newly appeared, perhaps brought over by our world..."
What was initially a casual query suddenly turned into this unexpected developnt, causing Tao Yu to freeze in astonishnt.
No way? The moon from Naruto ca along with the no-good Sand Hiding Village? Why on earth!
But Tao Yu quickly suppressed the thoughts in his heart and looked towards Raban again.
"Do you still have ships flying into space? What is the situation with the moon from suborbital space?"
"We do, but once we leave the atmosphere, we hear a lot of whispers, and the stars outside seem like a backdrop. But the moon alone seems to be indeed right there, very close..."
Raban had nothing significant to conceal. They didn’t acquire any information anyways, and quite a few who returned from space went mad...
