284: Trust

Gong Li raised both hands high in a gesture of surrender.

Crack--- Ye Su snapped the man's neck!

And he began to absorb heaven's will.

Feinting to the east while attacking the west?

The little thing was quite unique and had some brains, but not much.

Ye Su's reaction was incredibly fast.

Such small tricks couldn't fool him.

It did, however, scare Gong Li half to death.

He clearly felt that Ye Su seemed to have grown a bit stronger again.

It was as if he was mastering his power with greater refinement;

"Truly strange?"

"His heaven's will intensity feels so high, yet for some reason it can't be raised further. This kind of cultivation doesn't look like someone from a savage planet."

"But an Ascender from the Great Clans wouldn't be like this either---"

"Truly strange."

Gong Li thought to himself.

Equipment is background!

But the premise is that you are worth the equipment.

Ye Su felt like someone who had the qualifications for high-end equipment, but his gear just couldn't keep up.

"Damn, could he be the final afterglow of some destitute Family?"

"Perhaps he needs to rise from the ruins!"

The Family has foundations, but no money.

That seemed plausible and suited Ye Su better.

He absorbed another bit of heaven's will.

Ye Su was very satisfied.

The Ruined World is great; there are so many Ascenders, and killing them comes with no guilt.

Letting go.

Letting go with heart and soul!

Looking at the corpse falling into the Sea of Clouds, Ye Su suddenly asked;

"Logically speaking, they all have storage spaces."

"Can't we get the things inside out?"

Murder and arson bring wealth!

Robbery is where the money is!

Upon hearing this, Gong Li spread his hands.

You understand this logic, and I understand it too.

But--- no one understands it better than the Mechanical Race!

"Whether it's a Spirit Net Login Device, the Star Spirit Clan's Star Vortex, or my Tiangong Clan's Tiangong Creations..."

Gong Li said;

"These things all have copyrights."

"So... once the owner dies, these things are naturally reclaimed by the copyright holders."

Hearing this.

Ye Su's eyes widened.

Wait.

What kind of capitalists are these!

This is too dark.

After a person dies, their belongings are automatically reclaimed?

Not even a chance to loot the body?

Too ridiculous.

Sure enough, in this Universe, no one understands how to accumulate wealth better than the Peak races.

"Too ridiculous!"

Ye Su shook his head with a bitter smile.

Gong Li smiled awkwardly; he felt embarrassed since he was from the Tiangong Clan.

However.

He had no power to get a piece of that pie.

Unless he possessed some technology that could replace a certain technique within Tiangong Creations, completing a technological iteration.

Only then would he have a seat at that table.

But that was far too difficult.

After countless years of iterative upgrades, wanting to get in on the action of Tiangong Creations was as difficult as ascending to heaven!

It wasn't just the Tiangong Clan; the Mechanical Race, Star Spirit Clan, and other races that manufactured storage equipment were the same.

The classes were already fixed; it was hard for others to get a seat at the table!

"Let's go treasure hunting."

Ye Su said.

Gong Li nodded.

Then, from his storage device, he took out a compass.

He looked at the compass needle and said;

"This way."

Ye Su glanced at it;

"A Treasure-Hunting Compass?"

"I made it myself; you can't buy it on the spirit net."

Gong Li said.

He reacted quickly; taking this out, he was afraid Ye Su might kill him for the treasure.

Saying he made it himself was a way of indicating that no one else could use it but him.

Of course, taking this thing out also showed his recognition of the partnership with Ye Su.

The two of them took a small step forward in terms of trust.

"This way, this way---"

Gong Li suddenly became excited;

"Detected a large amount of abnormal fluctuations; it should be a Cloud Mine!"

Cloud Mines, magical places.

In the Sea of Clouds, all kinds of Ores would appear in Cloud Mines, existing in various symbiotic modes.

The heavenly vein stone Ye Su wanted would definitely be inside.

After several twists and turns, they actually entered the interior of the Sea of Clouds.

Ye Su touched the Sea of Clouds with his hand; it started soft and then became incredibly hard.

"The Sea of Clouds isn't just simple clouds."

Gong Li explained;

"Do you know about the pillar of creation?"

Ye Su nodded.

The pillar of creation are a cosmic phenomenon.

That is, a large amount of cosmic dust gathering together.

Under the influence of surrounding high-gravity black holes, they are stretched into the shape of pillars.

But also because of this gravitational relationship, the dust of the pillar of creation begins to converge.

And so.

The first generation of stars is born.

Following that, a large number of stars and planets are continuously born from the pillar of creation.

The so-called creation refers to the birthplace of stars.

"This Sea of Clouds is the same."

Gong Li said;

"It's just that the environment of the Universe is different; it's not just dust, but also dust from some special Materials."

"Over a long time in the Sea of Clouds, they naturally converge into Cloud Veins."

Ye Su nodded.

That made sense.

Only, this was a Ruined World.

Inside those Cloud Veins...

"Then is it possible for even rarer Ores to appear in the Cloud Veins here?"

heavenly vein stone was considered a rare type.

earth vein stones are extracted from planetary compression, while heavenly vein stones are a specialty of the Sea of Clouds.

The main production areas in the Universe are within the Star Spirit Clan.

The price on the black market is about 10 crystal coins each.

As for even rarer Ores, their prices are hard to define.

There are even Ores whose price is comparable to heaven's will.

Ores of this price are usually called---heavenly stones!

heavenly stones, timing.

The Universe really lays out expensive things for you to see at a glance!

"You mean heavenly stones?"

Gong Li's eyes were shining, and he couldn't help but lick his lips;

"Hard to say, I guess it depends on luck!"

He said it depended on luck, but his eyes were full of longing.

Relying on the compass, the two of them continued forward.

Soon.

A miniature mountain range like a deep black 'Swimming Dragon' appeared ahead.

It really was a Cloud Vein!

The Sea of Clouds was pure white, and the Cloud Vein was deep black.

The affairs of the world are but black and white.

"Cloud Vein!"

Gong Li strode forward and immediately began searching for rare Ores.

Before Ye Su could get close.

A heavenly vein stone was thrown over by Gong Li.

Cloud Veins producing heavenly vein stones had a very high probability, but he didn't expect to find one so quickly.

"Take this first. Generally, it takes about ten pieces; I think we can gather enough."

Gong Li said without looking back.

The appearance of the Cloud Vein caused his vigilance to drop drastically.

Fortunately, Ye Su had no intention of killing him.

The Tiangong Clan.

This Peak race loved creation.

Gong Li must have many good things on him; letting him take them out slowly to play would also broaden Ye Su's horizons.

After all.

He had already tested it out before.

If he killed Gong Li, he wouldn't be able to get the things in his storage equipment.

As for Gong Li.

His mind steadied slightly.

In front of a Cloud Vein, he couldn't help but have some thoughts.

If Ye Su had tried to sneak attack him while his back was turned just now, Gong Li could have detonated the Cloud Vein.

He had Blood Qi Heavy Armor for protection, so his injuries would definitely be lighter than Ye Su's.

However.

Faced with such an opportunity, Ye Su didn't make a move.

Thus...

Their trust level increased slightly again.
