I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early Chapter 406

Chapter 406: Chapter 303: Return to ida Civilization Relics Chapter 406: Chapter 303: Return to ida Civilization Relics The expert sighed, “That is to say, this civilization indeed had no technology, but crafted this ‘Ti Lock’ through so bizarre blood ritual.

The principle is unknown, but it certainly consud a trendous amount of Spirit Essence.”

“If we estimate based on the volu of the entire small hillside, at least the flesh and blood of a billion people beca part of this mountain…

It’s extrely solid, as solid as Sky City.”

Lu Yuan was shocked by this number.

He had known that this ancient civilization was brutal due to their “control” ability, slaughtering many other civilizations.

But he never imagined they had slaughtered as many as a billion…

The difficulty of survival was vividly demonstrated at this mont.

The expert continued, “The scale of this mountain is not too large, with a height of about four hundred ters and a surface area of 3.8 square kiloters, inhabited by a large number of ordinary animals and plants.”

“Its volu is 62 million cubic ters and its mass is roughly 90 million tons.

...

The internal caverns alone account for about 30 million cubic ters, aning half of the mountain is hollow, so it has a rather low density.”

A three-dinsional image of the mountain appeared on the screen.

The various caves were dizzying.

What can I say?

It’s not really a big mountain…

But for humans, it’s still a significant size.

“Since it fell from Different Space and isn’t completely connected to the ground, just install Pandora Crystal Stones on it, and we can fly the entire mountain.

However, this project would be imnse.

We estimate that even with the full effort and mobilization of over ten thousand people, it would still take 20 years.”

“The Ratn strongly suggest we take it away, as they believe such an object is a rare find.”

The expert’s report ended there.

“Spending twenty years to pack up a mountain here, I’m not sure if it’s a loss or a gain…” Lu Yuan exhaled softly, “As for the ‘slow passage of ti’…”

He then made a phone call, “Sha Kan’er, can we extract Spirit Essence from that mountain?”

The other party replied, “No, there’s not a bit of Spirit Essence left, otherwise the Ratn would have dismantled it long ago.

But for so reason, the Ti Lock still functions, and there’s nothing of rarity on the mountain.”

“Alright then…

continue with the research.” Lu Yuan was sowhat troubled; after all, it would consu twenty years, and the opportunity cost was also very high.

Imdiately after, he saw the letter left by Old Cat…

Seeing 31 Strangers craftsn wanting to stay in Sky City for a long ti, Lu Yuan was ecstatic.

To think that he could trick thirty-one craftsn, Old Cat, you’ve truly made a great contribution!

Then his face changed dramatically.

It would take 31,000 Spirit Essence to get these people!

That number was ridiculously exaggerated!

You should know that the current transaction volu between humans and the Shu Mi Dam Civilization was about three thousand, with a large portion being the Donkey Head Masks sold by Lu Yuan!

Lu Yuan imdiately called Old Cat, “My dear comrade-in-arms, there’s not enough money at all, you’re asking for my life!”

Old Cat’s image appeared on the screen at Green Grass Paradise, “Oh…

you’re awake?

This matter can actually be discussed, don’t rush.”

“The plan now is, after these craftsn join us, their first Inspiration must be used on their own Shu Mi Dam Civilization…

They seem quite tempted.”

“That thod could indeed work…

It’s like borrowing our luck.” Lu Yuan nodded; the thirty-one individuals were seasoned experts; even without Inspiration, how many students could they teach?

rely tinkering and creating so trinkets would earn back the cost of supporting them!

Old Cat added, “Anyway, you need to put up three to four thousand Spirit Essence as a security deposit, it cannot be any lower.”

“What?

It still takes money?”

“It’s just a deposit, not selling people.

They’re also afraid of being double-crossed by you…”

“If they go back one day, the money will be returned to you.”

Lu Yuan nodded his head.

Alright, it sounded acceptable.

Old Cat’s voice lowered, “Moreover, these craftsn are rather wealthy.

They have so small treasures, you should understand…”

Lu Yuan had an epiphany and realized he had a sizable advantage, “Understood, I’ll raise the money right away…”

After hanging up the phone, he muttered to himself, “Three to four thousand Spirit Essence…

where on earth am I supposed to find that.”

His heart was chilly.

Despite his inner turmoil, the wealth he could present openly was still too little.

The Donkey Head Masks had already been sold.

Now he could only sell necklaces, but the raw material only cost about a thousand, far from enough.

Suddenly, an idea struck him; there was sothing else he could sell—Sealing Resin!

In his battle against the Painted Skin, so Sealing Resin had been used up, but the majority of Smoke Bombs used within the city were recycled by Insects.

This stuff was really amazing; even the Anomaly like Painted Skin, the Spirit Words it used were easily countered!

Currently, Lu Yuan still had about fifty pounds in his possession.

As a Strategic Level material, it’s usually not taken out for casual use.

“I wonder how much the Sealing Resin is worth…”

“Even this thing doesn’t have a grade…

It can’t be observed through ‘Identification’…”

Lu Yuan pondered for a while but decided to play it safe and not to recklessly bring out the Sealing Resin.

While the Humans and Ratn were eagerly interacting, he planned to visit the Rize Civilization.

The Rize people were even poorer!

If the Rize Civilization was willing to sell “Sealing Resin,” then everyone could consider selling a bit together.

If even the much poorer Rize people were unwilling, then Lu Yuan would have to think of another way.

With this in mind, he wrote a telegram, “Respected leaders of the Rize Civilization, greetings, I am Lu Yuan.”

“As you have seen, we are exchanging resources with the Shu Mi Dam Civilization, and it has been six months now, and we have learned a lot from them.”

“They co from the Eighth Epoch, and even though they have lost most of their heritage, the wealth they do possess is truly eye-opening.”

“Limited by our own poverty, the resources we Humans can purchase are quite limited.”

“I wonder if the Rize Civilization would like to join this trade event?

The Shu Mi Dam Civilization will not remain here for long, they too have to travel to distant places to contact more civilizations, and probably in another year or two, they will leave, which is less than 10 days in Safe Zone ti.”

“Trade is a mutually beneficial choice, if your city wishes to participate, please allow our Dream Ability Users to accept a letter in their dreams.”

The dozen or so cities of the Rize Civilization were scattered in various corners of the Desert Plateau, thousands of kiloters apart, and it would waste too much ti to go and make contact one by one.

It was more appropriate to pull people directly into dreams through the Opium poppy tree.

“Conch Girl, urgent aid needed in the Society!

Lend a hand and help organize a Dream eting, just like talking with Humans.”

“I know, I have already sent the Dream letter,” Conch Girl’s pleasant voice ca through the phone, “But you might have to wait a while, the Safe Zone’s response is very slow.”

“If they miss the first day’s Dream Sensing, they have to wait for the second day, and they also have etings and such…

So talk to them after two hundred days.”

Lu Yuan nodded, “That’s fine.”

“How are you feeling?” Conch Girl, as his secretary, was quite concerned about this matter.

He imdiately beca animated, “Not bad, just that I’ve expended too much in a short period, I feel rather empty inside, I need to save up for a while.”

“Plus, I’ve accrued another debt and am not sure where to start.”

Conch Girl humd softly, knowing about this as Lu Yuan’s secretary, “Don’t think about becoming fat in one bite, think about your mother civilization, think about the Rize Civilization, we’re not really poor, right?”

“Ah…

true enough.”

“But I need to purchase those craftsn, and there’s a big shortfall…”

The couple assessed their personal wealth, it wasn’t that they were stingy, but Immortal Level items genuinely couldn’t be sold casually.

“The Opium poppy tree could be squeezed a bit more…

It actually has quite a bit stored.”

“Magic Cube Energy needs to cultivate talent…

Never mind, let’s not move that part of energy recklessly.”

“Wait!

I’ve got an idea!” Lu Yuan’s eyes shone, “ida Civilization, my second holand!”

…

…

So, during this ti, when there wasn’t anything particularly urgent to attend to, Lu Yuan activated the “Sky Fortress,” taking a group of dozens of Human soldiers and a swarm of Insects, and hurried towards the ida Civilization.

The long journey that had taken five months before was now reduced to a re half a month with the flight of the “Sky Fortress,” and the relics of the ida Civilization ca into view.

The place was still tranquil and peaceful, the dense jungle lush and verdant, hiding most of the ruins.

Yet it was also where dreams and stories began.

Lu Yuan found an old car, pushed aside the vines on its surface, opened the door, and found ‘clatter clatter’ Insects crawling out, his hand covered in reddish-brown rust.

Then he sat in the car, reminiscing about his first night on the Pangu Continent.

“Truly the first night…

Everything changed from that day on.”

Nearly 40 years later, returning to the place of old, beside the houses appearing even more ancient, it seed not much had changed.

The weather wasn’t too great, with rain ‘pattering’ down.

Lu Yuan found the data center, his forr ho, opened the thick anti-theft door, and saw the Gold statue he left behind still in the corner, unchanged.

He sat down in the corner and spaced out for a while.

By the window, there was a black pot, once used for cooking fish.

Unused for a long long ti, the pot’s surface had taken on a patina of age.

Rainwater seeped in through the broken window, ‘drip dripping’ into a full pot—Lu Yuan rembered that long ago, he had deliberately placed the pot there to collect rainwater.

“Awoo!” Old Wolf stood by Lu Yuan’s side, rubbing his leg with its coarse fur.

Old Wolf too had mories of this place.

Sniffing with its nose, it bounded off into the jungle…

The scent of the mother wolf from here was still alluring, detectable from afar.
