Although his Burst Spirit Skill can penetrate walls, it is considerably restricted within this building.
When the thickness and number of walls reach a certain level, the energy of the Burst Spirit Skill will be depleted.
For now, he ignored those mutants and focused primarily on item collection.
Despite not finding any survivors along the way, Zhang Xiaoman has gathered quite a few peculiar items.
While passing by so shops, regardless of whether the items were useful or not, he decided to take them back first.
After two hours, he had found thirty-so items, including electronic devices, all of which were small enough to be carried along while using Unlimited Teleportation.
Among the items he brought back, most were naless to him, with only a few he could infer their use by appearance.
It’s worth ntioning that Zhang Xiaoman discovered a unique shop on the 33rd floor, with many plant seeds displayed on the counters, likely the plant store Narui ntioned.
He simply grabbed so seeds and brought them back, intending to have the little girl identify them later.
Using Unlimited Teleportation, he returned to Narui’s ho and dropped a heap of items with a clatter, shocking the girl beside him.
"These, these are...?"
"Oh, I just went out for a stroll and found that there seem to be no survivors nearby, so I brought back so stuff. Can you help figure out what they are for?"
Narui was slightly stunned upon hearing this.
She didn’t quite understand why this lord wanted to know about these things.
But after thinking it over, she soon felt relieved.
The gentleman cos from an advanced civilization, and must be unfamiliar with many aspects of her planet.
After all, the Guleng Star is so backward, it’s necessary to understand it if one wants to save it.
With this thought, she started organizing the items on the ground and introduced them to Zhang Xiaoman one by one.
"Lord Jixing, this silver-white little bottle is a self-service beverage maker. By adding special materials and water, you can create the drink you want. But due to the Crimson Day, it can’t be used now..."
"This watch is our communicator, storing our personal identity information, sothing essential for every Federation citizen..."
"This small box is a musical instrunt from our place, called ’Mian Yao.’ I haven’t learned music, so I’m not that skilled in using it..."
As Narui spoke, she pressed the holes on the small box and gently shook it, producing a long, lodious sound from within.
Zhang Xiaoman curiously took it and tried it himself.
He ended up with the sa result as Narui; though he could make sounds, he couldn’t produce pleasant music.
"Hmm, artistic things, nice, they have so collectible value..."
He said casually.
Beside him, Narui nodded in agreent with his statent.
Given her planet’s backwardness, the artistic aspect is probably the only thing Lord Jixing, from the Star Alliance spanning tens of thousands of star systems, would fancy.
"Lord Jixing, I see you also brought many seeds; they are genetically modified plants, just like the Dew Fruit planted at my ho."
Narui spoke while picking up a small, earthy-yellow seed from the ground, continuing:
"The price of these plant seeds is very high, needing special parent stocks for cultivation. A single Dew Fruit seed costs five thousand Federation Credit Points..."
She paused, seemingly reminded of a sad matter, lowered her head in sorrow:
"But now we’ve encountered the Crimson Day, all personal communication terminals used for transactions are shut down, and Credit Points have beco useless..."
Seeing her like that, Zhang Xiaoman comforted:
"What is gone is gone, and disasters will pass eventually. Those who survive must learn to be strong. Don’t worry; the Star Alliance has found you and won’t ignore this."
Narui lifted her head again, her eyes revealing hope mingled with a bit of unease.
"But, but, Lord Jixing... will your assistance here entangle you in trouble? I an, can the Star Alliance truly accept a weak civilization like ours?"
Zhang Xiaoman looked at her, surprised by the young girl’s sense of inferiority.
Her words about a "weak civilization" made him feel a bit embarrassed.
In comparison to Water Blue Star, Guleng Star is a powerful alien civilization to be admired.
Yet to her, they seed weak, pitiful, and helpless.
He smiled slightly and shook his head:
"Narui, you don’t need to worry about the Star Alliance’s stance; to us, everything is worth saving, regardless of its level of civilization, and we won’t allow it to be invaded by alien species."
Narui’s face showed gratitude upon hearing his words, making her feel more reassured.
Zhang Xiaoman chatted with her briefly and, after understanding the uses of all the items, packed them to bring back to Dawn.
The girl naturally wanted to help, feeling she should contribute as much as she could given her abilities.
But Zhang Xiaoman didn’t let her move, instead, with a casual gesture, those items seed to gain eyes and floated into the prepared storage box.
Of course, the girl was envious of this scene.
She had no idea how he achieved this.
With her understanding, only divine beings in films could accomplish this through special transcendent powers.
Zhang Xiaoman checked the ti; it wasn’t early, and about four or five hours had passed since he arrived on Guleng Star, so it was ti to return.
He handed the chanical watch in his hand to Narui and taught her how to use it.
The rotation cycle of Guleng Star around the Constant Star and its own rotation cycle were similar to those on Water Blue Star, with astonishing similarities between the two civilizations.
Thus, the chanical watch could roughly asure the ti here.
"This watch operates on pure chanical power, a bit backward, but in such an environnt, it’s the best tikeeping tool, unaffected by the Crimson Light, so you can use it for now."
Narui accepted the watch, looking joyful.
During this period, her personal terminal had long ceased functioning, even the basic ti was out of reach, making each day feel like a year.
For an intelligent being, living in total darkness without any ti reference could drive anyone insane.
Narui had endured chaotic life for several months and didn’t want to experience that again.
Thus, to her, even a regular watch from Zhang Xiaoman was undoubtedly a precious gift.
"Thank you, Lord Jixing! I will cherish it!"
She said happily.
Zhang Xiaoman nodded, saying:
"Alright, I need to return for so matters; stay here and don’t wander off. I’ll be back soon, within a day or a few days."
As he spoke, he handed over a Spirit Binding Scroll with Constitution Enhancent drawn on it.
"If you encounter danger again, tear open this scroll imdiately, rember."
Narui solemnly accepted the black scroll.
She didn’t know its purpose but believed that a gift from soone of an advanced civilization must be good and worthy of careful preservation.
After advising her on several matters, Zhang Xiaoman lifted the storage box with one hand and activated Unlimited Teleportation to return to Dawn.
