’Once I reach Tier 4, I’ll dominate everything!’ Gao Neng was incredibly eager to reach the fourth tier. After all, once he did, he could project energy from his magnetic core without relying on a power-up. His hidden talent would finally be unleashed to its full potential.
A 100% hidden talent.
What did that an?
It ant he could extract any form of energy elent.
The result would be that no matter where he was, his surroundings would beco his "domain," and all energy elents would fall under his control.
"Let’s see what’s in this Space Necklace first!" Gao Neng took out all the treasures he’d looted from the Seventh Princess and imdiately checked the space inside the necklace.
He quickly saw a pile of won’s things.
There were all sorts of styles.
Lace, see-through, strawberry-patterened, monster-thed, black stockings, white stockings, short skirts...
"..." Gao Neng was speechless.
’You’ve got to be kidding .’
’This is pointless!’
’I rob the Seventh Princess and all I get is a pile of outfits?’
’They’re not my size. I can’t wear them.’
’Maybe I should find a chance to let Fang Tangtang try them on... or maybe Shen Ning’Er?’
Gao Neng thought that was a pretty good idea.
’But surely it can’t just be a pile of outfits, right?’
He didn’t give up and continued to search. Then, he found a longbow, the very one the Seventh Princess had been using. It should count as a treasure.
’Finally, a bow...’
Aside from that, there were so pill bottles—red, green, purple... He didn’t know their specific effects, so he set them aside for now, guessing they were so kind of Healing dicine.
"Wait, what’s this?" In the very depths, Gao Neng saw three items. Two of them were fruits.
One white fruit, and one red fruit.
The last item was a bottle of water, crystal clear and shimring with a golden light.
Gao Neng quickly took all three items out. He opened the bottle of water first, and an extrely familiar aura wafted out.
"This bottle contains the Spring of Life! Just as I thought, the Seventh Princess had the Spring of Life on her. I can save this for later!" Gao Neng was overjoyed.
’Then these two fruits...’
’Could they be the fruits from the Elf Tree?’
’Why is one white and the other red?’
’Why are they different?’
’Maybe... I should try eating them? But what if they’re poison? One bite and I’d be a goner...’ Gao Neng was tempted, yet hesitant.
At the sa ti, he felt a special aura constantly emanating from his body. This aura ford threads that wound around him.
Green threads.
’Is my transformation about to begin?’ As he waited, another idea struck him. He rembered the useless system had a "recycle function."
He had activated this function while mining in the underground factory in the Forgotten Land. If he rembered correctly, the recycle function could appraise an item’s na and value.
"System, appraise this longbow for recycling!"
"DING! One mid-grade longbow from the Dark Night Elf Clan. Value: 2.56 million Alliance Coins. Do you wish to recycle?" the chanical voice quickly rang out.
’So it really can appraise value. 2.56 million? It’s just a mid-grade longbow... It seems the Dark Night Elf Clan’s weapons are scaled to one’s strength. The Seventh Princess is too weak; even if she had a high-grade bow, she probably couldn’t draw it. When I think about it that way... it makes sense.’ Gao Neng didn’t dwell on it. Since it was just an ordinary bow, exchanging it for Alliance Coins was a good deal.
"Recycle!"
"BEEP. One mid-grade longbow recycled. 2.56 million Alliance Coins acquired."
’Not a bad function. With this... I’ve made back the one million I spent on the Flying Earth Dragon’s evolution, plus an extra 1.56 million. After a quick calculation, I now have 3.6 million Alliance Coins.’ Gao Neng felt pretty good about it. Now, it was ti to formally appraise the two fruits.
"System, appraise this red fruit for recycling."
"DING! One ’Immortal Fruit’ from the Elf Tree. Value: 150 million. Do you wish to recycle?" the chanical voice rang out again.
"One hundred and fifty million?!" Gao Neng’s eyes practically glazed over. ’That much money? That’s hundreds of tis better than that crappy bow! It’s just too exaggerated.’ After a mont’s thought, he asked again, "System, what exactly does this Immortal Fruit do? How can it be worth so much?"
"The recycle function can only appraise an item’s value. It cannot answer the host’s boring questions. The host may consult the encyclopedia on his own."
"In that case, dear system, where can I find this encyclopedia?" Gao Neng cursed ’useless piece of crap’ in his mind, but kept a smile on his face.
"The system encyclopedia can be unlocked for 500 million Alliance Coins. Do you wish to unlock it?"
"Unlock my ass! I’m broke! Now appraise this white fruit." Gao Neng felt that, for a curse, that was actually quite civilized.
’Five hundred million for an encyclopedia.’
’You might as well just rob !’
"DING! One ’Soul Fruit’ from the Celestial Race. Value: 230 million. Do you wish to recycle?" the chanical voice quickly rang out again.
"Two hundred and thirty million?! I’m rich!" Gao Neng suddenly felt like he’d hit the jackpot. Just by robbing one Seventh Princess, he’d made hundreds of millions.
This haul was definitely worth it.
A massive profit.
Just like that, his net worth was in the hundreds of millions.
’Well then, ti to eat!’
Gao Neng had no intention of recycling them.
The more valuable sothing was, the better it had to be. It definitely wasn’t poison. Since that was the case, he’d just eat them all in one go, especially since he was in the middle of a transformation.
’Let’s see if I can turn into a Super Saiyan Warrior!’
’And then...’
’Save the world!’
"Here I go!" Gao Neng bit into the red fruit. ’When you’ve got good food, you start with the cheaper stuff. That way, things only get more and more delicious.’
’If you eat the best one first, and the next one isn’t as good, it ruins the experience.’
Gao Neng was a man who understood how to live.
He took a large bite. The mont the red fruit entered his mouth, an explosive sensation of pleasure washed over him.
This was definitely no ordinary fruit!
Or rather, it couldn’t even be called a fruit. It was more like a condensed ball of special energy. As soon as that energy entered his body, it went straight into his internal organs.
He had never felt anything like it before.
Another bite!
He devoured the whole thing in one go.
The feeling was incredible.
Gao Neng could feel his internal organs undergoing so sort of reconstruction, and this process was constantly spreading, threatening to envelop his entire body.
Then, he wiped his mouth. Although he felt a little full, he could still eat more.
Without further hesitation...
He ate the white fruit.
This ti, Gao Neng instantly felt as if he were about to fly into the heavens. It was a tremor that originated from his very soul, as if his entire spirit was being enveloped by a ball of warm energy.
’In less than a minute, I’ve eaten 380 million. What a rush!’ Everyone had always mistaken Gao Neng for being a cheapskate, but was he really?
He wasn’t stingy at all. He’d just eaten 380 million worth of goods and didn’t feel the slightest pang of regret.
’When you’re alive, you’ve got to treat yourself well.’
’What’s 380 million?’
’As long as I get stronger, there’ll be 3.8 billion waiting for in the future.’
*BURP!* He let out a satisfied belch. Gao Neng was about to check the value of the Seventh Princess’s belt and other items, but the green threads around him were growing more and more nurous.
They had already wrapped him up like a cocoon.
And because the feeling was so incredible, he started to feel sleepy. Drowsiness washed over him, and he allowed the green energy around him to wrap him up, thicker and thicker...
...
「Dark Night Elf Clan, Celestial Eagle Camp.」
Chen Yichuan was pacing back and forth inside the command post. Li Tiannan hadn’t said much when he arrived, but the shock of his news had left Chen Yichuan’s heart pounding.
’More than a dozen Strongest from other races gathered at the Celestial Race Royal City?’
’This is no small matter!’
It ant that his elite unit was dangling right in front of a predator’s jaws. If they so wished, they could devour his forces in a single gulp.
Although the Strongest generally wouldn’t attack those of lower tiers...
’But what if they did?’
If his fifty high-tier experts were wiped out, it would be a cataclysmic disaster for the Military Departnt. Ten of him wouldn’t be enough to atone for such a failure.
’No, I have to order a retreat imdiately!’ Chen Yichuan gritted his teeth.
The Military Departnt’s mission was important.
But no mission was more important than the lives of those fifty high-tier experts. As the military Commander for this operation, he had a duty to ensure their survival.
’But if we retreat now, will we attract the attention of those Strongest?’
Chen Yichuan didn’t actually believe these Strongest were here for his elite unit. If that were the case, they wouldn’t have waited this long.
So, it was highly likely these Strongest had another objective.
’If I don’t move...’
’Perhaps these Strongest won’t even notice my unit, and we can get through this safely. But the mont I make a move, they might notice us.’
’That would make things even worse.’
’Move?’
’Or stay put?’
This was the first ti Chen Yichuan had felt so indecisive since becoming a vice commander.
’If only Elder Li hadn’t left...’ At this thought, Chen Yichuan instinctively walked out of the command post and glanced in the direction Li Tiannan had disappeared.
As he looked, he saw several black dots in the sky.
Eight people!
They were flying rapidly toward him.
"Strongest! Eight of them?! We’re finished... They’re really here!" Chen Yichuan’s face drained of all color, and sweat poured down like rain. He was so terrified he could barely move.
It was only when the figures drew closer...
’Elder Li?!’
’And Elder Wang!’
"They’re our own! Human Strongest, eight of them!" Even as a vice commander in the army, Chen Yichuan had never seen so many of the Human Alliance’s Strongest gathered in one place.
This was because the Human Alliance’s Strongest were almost always in seclusion or focused on their cultivation.
Unless an unsolvable crisis occurred...
...the Strongest rarely made public appearances.
Of course, there was another reason Chen Yichuan had so little contact with the Strongest: very few of them within the Human Alliance were actually affiliated with the Military Departnt.
After all, besides the Military Departnt, humanity had other powers.
For example: Sects!
This was a power that had existed among humans since ancient tis. This force was extrely mysterious, and after the Great Cataclysm, the power of the sects had grown even stronger.
In addition to these, there were also so reclusive, powerful families.
As far as Chen Yichuan knew, these reclusive families weren’t large in number, but when it ca to the sheer quantity of Strongest they produced, they were second to none.
’Is a war about to break out?’ Chen Yichuan watched the eight Strongest draw closer and closer. Suddenly, a bold idea popped into his head.
