Chapter 306

First coming into view were two "small hills" that were almost about to touch the dome of the treasure vault!

One was piled up with countless angular energy crystals with misty light halos flowing inside.

The energy fluctuations emitted by such a quantity of energy crystals made the surrounding air slightly distort.

These energy crystals might not be peerless treasures individually, but they were hard currency for crossing plane barriers.

Whether used for supplementing consumption, driving facilities, or as trading currency, they were extremely valuable.

And these crystals before them were of extremely high purity, with huge internal energy capacity, far from what ordinary goods could compare to.

The other small hill was even more heart-moving—it was composed of countless crystals with irregular shapes and mist flowing inside, emitting a kind of coldness and temptation that acted directly on the soul.

Soul crystals!

For the wizard civilization that specialized in soul and spiritual power and applied various construct lives, elemental creatures, and modified cannon fodder on a large scale, the value of soul crystals was even more exaggerated.

They could directly improve spiritual power cultivation, repair soul trauma, and were key materials for manufacturing high-tier cannon fodder, construct cores, and even certain special wizarding tools.

Although the wizard civilization was extremely in need of soul crystals, they rarely actively manufactured them on a large scale.

Because in the wizard's values, a living creature that could continuously generate value was far more meaningful than condensing into a soul crystal after death.

Except for plane wars like this, where a large amount of scattered soul power could be naturally collected and condensed into crystals after fierce battles, only high-tier wizards who independently controlled an entire plane had stable acquisition channels.

This soul crystal small hill before them, roughly estimated, had a value close to one hundred million military merits!

This was a huge amount of wealth enough to make any low-to-mid-tier wizard crazy!

"Hiss—"

From behind came the gasping sounds of the three Tier 3 wizards that could not be suppressed.

Their eyes were fixed on those two small hills, especially the soul crystals, and their breathing was as heavy as a bellows.

For them, whose assets generally only had hundreds of thousands or millions of military merits, the wealth of this treasure vault was enough to make them instantly pay off the huge loans they carried, and leap to become "rich" among their peers, paving the way for their future promotion.

Gao Jie Ming's keen perception could clearly capture the spiritual power fluctuations that were violently fluctuating in the three people behind him, as well as the gaze full of struggle and greed.

He could even feel a trace of unstable agitation in their spiritual power.

The air seemed to stagnate for a moment.

However, when their gazes inadvertently swept over the black giant that stood like a black iron tower beside Gao Jie Ming, emitting Tier 5 pressure and bone-chilling coldness, that dangerous impulse that had just risen was quickly extinguished like being doused with ice water.

Reason re-occupied the upper hand.

Turning against a logistics-system wizard who could control Tier 5 elite cannon fodder and whose means were unknown, especially in this closed underground environment, was no different from seeking his own death.

The heat in the eyes of several people quickly faded, turning into a trace of helplessness and resignation, silently moving their gazes away.

Gao Jie Ming nodded secretly in his heart.

This is the benefit of showing strength.

The black giant was not just a weapon, but a silent deterrent that could save him many unnecessary troubles.

Although he was not afraid, he was happy to be quiet.

He was not in a hurry to distribute those two most conspicuous crystal hills, but cast his gaze toward other areas of the treasure vault.

Besides these two "hard currency" hills, the treasure vault was also piled with a large amount of rare materials such as metal ingots of various forms emitting strange energy fluctuations, biological tissue fossils, and unknown crystals.

It was just a pity that the wizard civilization's research on the Giant Spirit Realm's material system had just begun, and it was temporarily unable to accurately judge the specific value and use of these materials.

And what attracted the attention of Gao Jie Ming and the other three wizards most was located in the deepest part of the treasure vault, those few rows of thick bookshelves made of unknown metal and some kind of leather-like material!

On the bookshelves were neatly placed books, either thick or thin.

In a civilization with highly developed technology like the Giant Spirit Realm, ordinary knowledge must be stored in the virtual network.

Under such circumstances, they were still so solemnly collected in the form of physical books and hidden in such a secret treasure vault—the importance of the knowledge carried by these books was self-evident!

Seeing these books, the eyes of the four wizards including Gao Jie Ming all lit up.

For wizards who pursued knowledge, this might be more attractive than those two crystal hills!

Those three wizards were eager to try, but their gazes were all cast toward Gao Jie Ming, waiting for this "hero" who possessed priority selection rights to choose first.

Gao Jie Ming was not dragging his feet either.

He first walked to the pile of rare materials, opened the Eye of All-Use, and runes constantly flashed in his pupils. Using the Eye of All-Use to quickly scan the materials before him, Gao Jie Ming quickly started to select some materials with unique energy responses, complex structures, and even he could not fully see through for a while.

Such unknown materials were more valuable for research for Gao Jie Ming.

Afterward, he did not stand on ceremony and collected about one-third of the high-purity energy crystals and soul crystals, incorporating them into his body space.

Seeing that Gao Jie Ming had completed his choice, the joy that could not be suppressed bloomed on the faces of the remaining three wizards.

Like hungry wolves pouncing on food, they quickly and efficiently started to divide the remaining resources in the treasure vault.

The two crystal hills shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, and various rare materials were classified and packed into space equipment.

Finally, everyone's gaze focused on those few rows of bookshelves again.

Knowledge is priceless, but the benefit is that it can be shared.

A wizard quickly took out a prism-shaped crystal from his arms; that was the standard information collection terminal of the Star Ring Federation.

He carefully took down the books on the bookshelves one by one and placed them under the terminal for scanning.

The terminal emitted a soft light, completely recording the text, patterns, and even the faint information contained in the material itself on the pages.

This process required a bit of time.

As expected, during this period, several waves of Giant Spirit Realm natives who didn't know whether they were dead or alive tried to break into the treasure vault through hidden short-distance space jump devices and launched suicide attacks.

But under the absolute power of the black giant and the interference of the temporal disorder domain, these attackers couldn't even get close before being easily crushed.

The hidden space jump devices they used were also destroyed by the black giant, cutting off the possibility of subsequent reinforcements arriving through the same path.

Soon, the information of all the books was completely recorded into the terminal.

The three wizards were satisfied, their faces carrying sincere gratitude, and they thanked Gao Jie Ming solemnly again.

If Gao Jie Ming hadn't arrived in time and successfully cracked the seal, let alone gains, even their lives would have been hard to save.

More importantly, they also had to thank Gao Jie Ming for not killing them.

After all, the two sides had not signed a contract, and if Gao Jie Ming wanted to monopolize it, he could completely kill them to silence them.
