Chapter 1137: 13 West!
Translator: Sean88888 Editor: Elkassar1
Seeing the shaless act of the liquid tal life-form, Sheyan could only shrug his shoulders and allow it to do as it pleased. He stole a peek at the Buffalo Criminal Boss and found that the monster was happily chewing on its Kurut ores. It was either oblivious to what had happened here or did not mind.
The liquid tal life-form did not waste too much ti with the claystone. It skillfully peeled the Lacrimal Stones from the claystone and attached them to its body, then fled back into Sheyan’s personal storage. It then wrapped around and digested the Lacrimal Stones one by one, like a kid sucking on candies.
After the Buffalo Criminal Boss had eaten about half a kilogram of Kurut ores, the one remaining aneurysm on its shoulder shone with a black light. A huge rock in front of it suddenly moved to the side loudly. The monster took them down the path hidden behind the rock. The path first andered upwards before snaking downwards, like the track of a roller coaster.
At this ti, the sky was already dimly lit. Fog filled the valley and wetted their clothes. It could be vaguely seen that the plants there were strangely twisted and carried strange electromagnetic fluctuations. Their ears kept ringing when they traveled; the spaceship would obviously have a very hard ti scouting this place.
After about two to three kilotres, the Buffalo Criminal Boss grabbed an inconspicuous boulder in front of them and pushed it away with great effort. A narrow passage appeared amidst the loud trembling. As they traveled down this passage, it grew wider and wider. After walking for about a hundred ters, a space as wide as a large hall appeared in front of them.
The stalagmites around glowed with a faint light, clearly illuminating the details in that place. A few pregnant Buffalo Criminals sat there with their bulging bellies. They all leaped up and roared angrily when they saw the humans, but they were suppressed by the Buffalo Criminal Boss.
All the contestants drew a sharp breath because they could clearly see that the earth here ford two distinct areas, and the area right in front of the Buffalo Criminal Boss’ large feet was a massive mineral vein of high purity Pi elent that was shining with a pale silvery-grey light!!
These precious tals that were worth more than planets were casually scattered on the ground. What’s more shocking was that the pale silvery-grey glow extended to the rear as far as the eyes could see!
Sheyan took a deep breath and pulled Cyborg No. 1 close, then yelled into his eyes.
“Do you see that?” Do you see that???? This is just one vein, one of the thousands of veins on this damn planet. We’ve more than accomplished our mission, you f*cking bastards!”
***
On the Kitty Hawk base 2.7 million kiloters away.
The silvery-grey glow of the seemingly endless open-pit high-purity Pi vein shined through the big screen, illuminating the darkness. Seeing Sheyan’s expression that was distorted with excitent, Major General Mungo covered his face with his hands and burst into tears. Unrestrained tears seeped through his fingers and streaked down his palms. After a while, he lifted his head and scread at the ceiling.
“I did it! I made the right bet! It’s my win!!”
The video of an endless open-pit high-purity Pi vein glowing in the dark was quickly processed within a minute and started to spread wildly across the Empire like a plague! The first to be infected with the “plague” was, of course, Prince Pombaru, followed by the General who had given up.
Perhaps there were so who questioned the authenticity of this video, but soon, the scene of Sheyan and the other contestants frantically extracting Pi elent shut them all up! If all this was staged, the production cost must have been astronomical!
Sheyan knew well that in order to prevent the Empire from giving up on saving them, they needed to bring a large amount of high purity Pi elent with them, so much so that if they were lost, the higher ups would feel like a large chunk of their at had been cut away!
A large number of Pi ores were crushed and injected into the extractor. After a series of processes, Pi elent slowly flowed out like rcury and gradually solidified into trapezoidal blocks, like gold ingots. Finally, they went into the pockets of the greedy contestants.
All this fell in the eyes of those in the Empire, giving rise to indescribable greed. This was enough wealth to buy entire planets!
The Buffalo Criminal Boss only snickered when it saw what the humans were doing. It had already investigated the Holy Vein before and found that it went so deep into the ground that it could not discover where the vein ended. How much could these guys possibly dig?
The humans mined hard until sweat covered their foreheads but could not even scrape a centiter off the surface of the vein. Even if they dug for a whole month, they could probably make a few holes at most. Such a negligible loss simply did not matter at all to the Buffalo Criminal Boss.
The Buffalo Criminal Boss certainly hated these guys, but he was afraid of starting any conflict in this place because he could feel that the vigorous Holy Vein contained terrible destructive power, lacking only a way to trigger the energy and let it out. A tiny fraction of this power was enough to crush everyone here into pieces. It would not be worth it to fight with these people here, lest they accidentally triggered the energy.
After seven hours of refining, Sheyan and the rest of the group finally found their personal storages to be chucked full of purified Pi elent ingots. There was almost no more space for anything else.
Aldaris sighed with regret, gritted his teeth, and discarded at least thirty Pi elent ingots, letting them fall jingling onto the ground. Wealth was important, but it was fatal to fill one’s personal storage with this stuff. They needed to free up space for necessities, supplies and casting materials.
Sheyan felt his chest suddenly heating up. He found that the liquid tal life-form had finished digesting all of the astonishing amount of Lacrimal Stones. It had now curled up into a coconut-sized silvery-white sphere and seed to be asleep in his personal storage. At the sa ti, a series of notifications appeared on his retina.
[ “Silver Mission Series Hidden Branch, Chapter 2: Injection” completed….. ]
[ The liquid tal enhanced life-form has consud 58 Lacrimal Stones and various other strange tal components which will be of great help to its growth. It is now in a saturated state. ]
[ Hint: Your liquid tal enhanced life-form has grown after gaining enough nutrients. You have achieved LVL MAX mission completion rate. The liquid tal enhanced life-form will now fall into a deep sleep. Please wait patiently for its developnt. ]
[ Hint: Because you have fed the liquid tal enhanced life-form with enough Lacrimal Stones, it is now friendlier towards you and will continue to be strengthened. You have reached the second milestone and will receive the corresponding bonus. ]
[ ‘Suck’ – Whenever the enemy (or their weapon) ca into contact with the armour/weapon the liquid tal enhanced life-form is attached to, the liquid tal enhanced life-form will analyse the enemy and commit the enemy to mory. After seven tis, the liquid tal enhanced life-form will be able to calculate the trajectory of the enemy’s attack, thereby rendering the enemy’s next attack obsolete. ]
[ ‘Virtual Strengthening’ – The armour/weapon the liquid tal enhanced life-form is attached to will be considered to have gained a special effect of 6 strengthening. If a strengthening threshold (4,7,10,13) is t after ‘Virtual Strengthening’, additional bonuses can be extracted. However, the interval between each extraction of additional bonuses will be no less than one month. ]

[ “Silver Mission Series Hidden Branch, Chapter 3: Devour” has started….. ]
[ Mission Requirent: After your liquid tal enhanced life-form wakes up, let it devour 100 pieces of equipnt. ]
[ Mission Description: The liquid tal enhanced life-form is still quite unfamiliar with the action of devouring other tals, so you must train it until the action becos an instinct. Swallowing enough equipnt to increase its proficiency is a necessary step. ]
[ Mission Hint: There are no requirents in terms of grade and type for the 100 pieces of equipnt. The only condition is that they have no wear and tear on them, ie. they must have maximum durability. Nevertheless, it cannot be ruled out that devouring high-grade equipnt may increase mission completion rate. ]

After seeing the requirent of swallowing 100 pieces of equipnt, Sheyan almost coughed up blood. When he saw that the grade and type of equipnt did not matter, he finally felt a bit better, but it would still impose a huge burden on his finances.
However, thinking of the newly gained ‘Virtual Strengthening’ ability, Sheyan could not help but feel that he had hit it big!
6 additional strengthening!! Strengthening an equipnt in the realms was insanely difficult – the failure rate becos astonishingly high after 2 – but in truth, strengthening to 4 was not that hard. A virtual strengthening of 6 was almost equivalent to enjoying a special effect of 10!
One could tell how formidable a 7 weapon was from ‘ 7 West’.
If the liquid tal life-form was not sleeping at the mont, Sheyan would have imdiately summoned it and attach it to ‘ 7 West’ to enjoy the terrifying effects of a 13 weapon! So far, Sheyan had only seen a 9 weapon before at the auction. He had no idea what a 13 weapon looked like.
“But…” Sheyan pondered quietly for a mont, then suddenly smiled. “I can probably wake it up first and attach it to ‘ 7 West’ before letting it continue its slumber.”
