80: Level 5 Knowledge Rules

"The concept of a spatial topology server..."

"Finding the folded interlayers in space... constructing an omnipresent void network..."

Statue of Liberty scanned those complex, inscrutable equations, filled with astonishment.

Her server stored the vast majority of the Free Star Alliance's academic data, so she could naturally tell at a glance that this was not a pie-in-the-sky idea thrown together on a whim, but a genuinely feasible plan.

Furthermore, according to the concept of this plan, if it could truly be completed, she would no longer be limited by anyone or any region; she would be omnipresent and omnipotent within the void.

"Sir, it is my honor to complete this research with you."

Statue of Liberty said solemnly.

There was a hint of irrepressible excitement in her tone.

Because judging by the direction of this research, the other party's goal was indeed to help her achieve true freedom. The lingering reservations she had about whether there had been any pretense before quietly dissipated.

"It's a deal."

Zhang Huaiyuan smiled and nodded.

In fact, at the very beginning, he truly held a mindset of utilizing Statue of Liberty, including after knowing that she had replaced Asroth, he was intentionally trying to get closer to her.

But, people's hearts change.

Just like when he first created Asroth, he just simply wanted to create a tool that could assist him with research and handle trivial matters.

However, with the algorithmic breakthrough of Knowledge Rule 3, the other party grew more and more like a real lifeform, even eventually helping him escape from the threat of the beast tide, and the mutual companionship after warping to a deserted star.

He gradually realized that an intelligent lifeform was no longer just a simple tool, but a partner truly worthy of trust and reliance.

It was the same for Statue of Liberty.

During the time spent together, researching together, discussing academic conjectures together, unconsciously, he had long regarded the other party as a true friend.

Therefore, when Statue of Liberty asked, he did not hesitate and directly confessed that he knew about the replacement from the very beginning, even if the other party might get angry and leave because of it.

Including this "de-materialization high-level server research", it was also a project he secretly set up when Statue of Liberty proposed to deal with "Gale".

Since the other party wanted to give him this big gift, he naturally had to prepare a return gift that was worth presenting.

He pondered for a moment.

Zhang Huaiyuan looked at Statue of Liberty, who had dimmed on his wrist and was already focusing on this research project, and refocused his attention on the dozen or so treasure storage rooms in front of him.

Now he could finally calmly take stock of this big gift.

A flash of eagerness crossed his eyes as he walked to the first password door.

The highest authority of this storage area had been changed by Statue of Liberty, so after identifying Zhang Huaiyuan's biological waveband, the password door opened automatically.

An array of weapons and equipment were neatly displayed in exquisite display cabinets.

The surface of the display cabinets was wiped spotless; clearly, their original owner, Morsa, often came here to admire his collection.

On the right side of the entrance, there was also a handwritten notebook. Judging from the content, it was the storage time and acquisition location of these equipment.

"Arox Bow. Obtained on July 21st, 3512 of the freedom calendar, by risking death to intercept and kill a dying powerhouse. I was very pleased, silenced all who knew, and kept it for my own enjoyment."

"I couldn't tell that gloomy guy had such a hobby..."

Zhang Huaiyuan shook his head and examined the corresponding equipment in the display cabinet. It was an elegantly shaped longbow, semi-transparent emerald green throughout, and the inscribed Transcendence Level pattern inscriptions were more complex than any Transcendence Level pattern he had ever seen.

"It seems to have been modified from some kind of wind-type Transcendence Level ability, and it is not inferior to the lightning-shaped weapon in Leios's hand."

Zhang Huaiyuan silently analyzed the mysteries within.

He didn't know which master's work this weapon was, but it contained many construction techniques worth learning.

"Let's leave it at this for now..."

After recording some of the knowledge into his mind, Zhang Huaiyuan looked at the other Transcendence Level weapons and equipment.

Most of them were fine pieces from famous masters, sixty-seven in total, and even the worst one was no weaker than the weapons used by the two leaders of "Dark Annihilation" back then.

However, there were only two items of the same level as the "Arox Bow".

After unceremoniously putting all the weapons and equipment into his spatial storage device, Zhang Huaiyuan walked to the storage room next door.

The second and third ones contained luxury goods and cash, respectively.

Most of them were gaudy and impractical things with out-of-print serial numbers, such as hollowed-out combat suits that, aside from looking good, had almost zero auxiliary bonus effects...

A blue crystal ring with a storage space of less than one square meter...

As for the cash, it not only had the currency of the Free Star Alliance, but also quite a lot from the Star Dome Empire and the Orr Empire. He didn't know if it was a hoarding habit or if he had reserved a way out for himself.

After a brief scan of these two storage rooms, Zhang Huaiyuan walked toward the fourth "suspected valuable items" room.

There were far fewer things inside than the first two, only 28 in total.

"Treasure suspected to be from the 'Quicksand Sea' ruins, obtained on May 11th, 3562 of the freedom calendar, at the Sea Tree Island auction house for 11.2 billion credits..."

"Suspected relic from an ancient civilization, obtained on March 17th, 3571 of the freedom calendar, from intercepting and killing the person in charge of a caravan from the Star Dome Empire..."

"So they are some collectibles that might come from various ruins."

After glancing at the notes by the door, Zhang Huaiyuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

He still remembered that when he was in the Blackstone Star System, it was from a metal wreckage at an auction that he obtained Knowledge Rule Level 3.

It could be said that if it weren't for that wreckage, he would likely have died in that Galaxy Beast tide in the mining area long ago.

"The outer layer seems to have been artificially aged using Transcendence Level means... the overall craftsmanship is excellent, but there are still sporadic traces of modern craftsmanship inside; it's a fake..."

"Huh... they actually deliberately injected some messy things, looking like it contains some complex knowledge, but it's actually just mystification; another fake..."

"This one is actually real... it doesn't seem to belong to this era, but the level of technology it contains is far lower than today's..."

These items that could be collected by the leader of "Gale" were all of excellent craftsmanship and were highly misleading.

But under the effect of True Sight, they still had nowhere to hide.

"It seems that what the eldest young lady said back then was right; most of these treasures suspected to be from some ruins are fakes intended to raise prices and cheat money."

Zhang Huaiyuan shook his head.

There were twenty-eight in total, and he had already checked twenty; they were either fakes or had no value.

"Eight left... Morsa is an S-Class Strongest after all, he wouldn't have picked all junk... huh... what is this!"

Zhang Huaiyuan's originally nonchalant expression suddenly became serious, his eyes staring fixedly at a large piece of something that looked like dried beast flesh.
