433: Blue Star's greatest secret treasure

Chen Du previously thought there were no resources Underground, but now it seems a large amount of resources have already been concentrated in the hands of certain Civilizations.

The strong remain strong, and this is precisely the reason; perhaps the Gloomy Land was not so weak a long time ago, but as time passed, it gradually evolved into its current state.

The biggest difference between the Surface and Underground is the fixed situation.

The top five strong, the bottom three weak, and the ten ordinary ones in the middle also have varying degrees of difference.

The eighteen Territories have long been formed, and unless something akin to a revolution occurs, this situation will continue indefinitely.

"A lot? 99% of the resources here are contributed by Civilizations who come to the Question Chamber to ask questions."

The staff member, seeing this, explained with some pride.

In his opinion, this was a symbol of the Prophet Civilization's strength, the foundation of a "Great Civilization."

Chen Du said nothing, silently watching him show off.

The dazzling array of resources around him made Chen Du think of his hometown, the High Martial Civilization.

Who knows how many people, for the continuation of their Civilization, shed their blood and fought for resources with their lives outside.

Yet, the Prophet Civilization could utilize its Innate advantage, without even expending a single soldier, to acquire these resources.

They were even personally delivered by the other party; the treatment was like heaven and earth.

"After the Treasure Card is used, its validity period is 5 days."

"You can browse around here and choose a resource you are satisfied with within 5 days."

"If you exceed the time limit, I will randomly give you a resource and then ask you to leave, so please pay attention to the time and don't get overwhelmed. Also, don't worry too much; I will remind you on the last day."

After the staff member finished speaking, he pointed to a tombstone-like object in a certain spot.

"This is the directory for the 18 floors here."

"Many Civilizations come here to select treasures."

"The way to obtain a Treasure Card is not only through the Heroes Assembly; many Civilizations enter to select treasures through other means."

"For convenience, all resource information here is annotated using 'thought stones'."

"thought stone?"

"What is that?"

Facing Chen Du's confusion, the staff member nodded, unperturbed:

"You come from the Shushu Civilization of the Gloomy Land, so it's normal not to know. This is a specialty of our core area of the Prophet Circle."

"Throughout the entire Underground, only we have it."

When the staff member said this, the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, revealing a hint of pride again, and then he pointed his finger at the tombstone-shaped object.

"Scan it with your Mental Energy and see."

After Chen Du did as he was told, his eyes widened slightly, and he said in shock.

"How amazing! I can actually understand the words on it!?"

"Unbelievable!"

According to common sense, spoken language can be understood through Mental Energy's interpretive translation, but written language cannot. Text is like mathematics; if you don't understand it, you just don't understand it.

But at this moment, Chen Du clearly didn't recognize any of the characters on it, yet he could comprehend what was written.

1F: Life Strength Category

2F: Mental Energy Category

3F: Martial Skill Category:

4F: Weapon Category

5F: Enhancement Category

6F: Recovery Category

7F: Other Categories

From 7F to the final 18F, everything written was "Other Categories."

It seemed that each floor's corresponding resource type was written here.

Although Chen Du was surprised, he wouldn't be easily shocked; that previous reaction was an act.

The purpose was to satisfy the staff member's vanity to a certain extent, preventing any potential future difficulties from him.

Although the two had spent little time together, Chen Du could more or less judge the man's personality; he was the type easily flattered.

Such people are actually easy to deal with; just praise them more.

As expected, when the staff member saw Chen Du's expression, like a country bumpkin entering the city, he felt secretly pleased, and the corners of his mouth lifted again.

"That's right! This is the power of the thought stone. It's equivalent to paper that can be written on with Mental Energy."

"The content you just saw was all inscribed by our Prophet Civilization using Mental Energy."

"Not only this directory, but all the resources here have thought stones placed beneath them with annotations."

"The output of thought stones is not very high, but fortunately, their thickness does not affect their function of recording Mental Energy. We polish them very thin, making them into small card-like specifications, called 'thought cards'."

"We place these thought cards beneath each resource, and because they are written with Mental Energy, the area used is also very small, and the Materials are completely sufficient."

Upon hearing this, Chen Du looked around again and found that indeed, beneath all the resources, there were small cards the size of a fingernail, which were the so-called thought cards.

Just as the other party said, each thought card was as thin as a cicada's wing.

"Over these 5 days, take a good look around. If you encounter something interesting, read the annotations on the thought card yourself and choose a resource that suits you."

"As someone with experience, I'll remind you: what suits you is more important than anything else."

"I'll be waiting for you upstairs. For these five days, I will be observing you with my Mental Energy, so don't try anything fancy. As long as your selection is normal, any resource you take will be in compliance."

"Also, let me mention that for the resources here, aside from floors 1F to 6F, the placement of resources on the subsequent floors is quite chaotic, so there's no specific classification; there's a bit of everything."

"But there won't be resources from 1F to 3F. These three floors are in a league of their own, and they are the places most frequented by Civilizations like yours."

Chen Du nodded and watched the other party leave.

He wondered if it was psychological, but Chen Du felt that the emotional value he provided earlier was useful; the other party's subsequent words were clearly much more numerous.

Of course, it might also be Chen Du's wishful thinking; perhaps that was just part of the other party's job.

Afterward, Chen Du stepped forward, beginning his treasure-selection journey.

This time, it wasn't just about obtaining a resource; the Prophet Treasure Vault could also greatly increase Chen Du's knowledge reserve of resource information!

...Taiji Bahuang Territory, Primordial Mine, Forbidden Zone.

If anyone were outside the Forbidden Zone at this moment, they would be utterly astonished.

The Forbidden Zone, which was rumored to be a place no one ever returned from alive after entering, now had an ordinary-looking humanoid youth stepping out of it!

He wore a light yellow T-shirt with a light yellow bull's head logo on the upper left corner, and held a palm-sized blue crystal in his right hand.

His clothes were spotless, and his spirit was full, completely unlike the state one would expect from someone emerging from a place of certain death.

The youth lowered his head, looking at the blue crystal tightly held in his right hand, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly upwards:

"The first step of the plan is successful. The greatest secret treasure of Blue Star has 'again' been obtained by me, Lin Xun!"

"It's time to go to the next place, but..."

After muttering to himself, Lin Xun looked in a certain direction.

"Before I leave, I need to meet an 'old friend' I've never met before!"
