243: Chapter 243 The Best Place to Level Up! The Abyss of Heavy Prisons! (Two Chapters Combined)

Inside the cabin, there was a deathly silence.

Ye Xiao looked at Young Master Gu Lingfeng, who was wishing he could die on the spot, with a gaze full of pity, as if looking at someone mentally challenged.

After a long while, just as Young Master Gu Lingfeng was about to faint from the tortures he had imagined in his own mind, Su Ming finally spoke slowly.

"That auction or whatever, at the beginning of next month?"

"Ah? Ah! Y-yes, Big Brother!"

Young Master Gu Lingfeng gave a start and nodded like a pounding pestle.

"Alright, remind me when the time comes."

After saying this, Su Ming ignored him further and walked to the porthole on his own, as if nothing had happened just now.

Young Master Gu Lingfeng stood there stunned, taking a long time to react.

He... he didn't pursue it?

It just passed like that?

Looking at Su Ming's calm profile, instead of feeling relieved, a chill surged in his heart.

It's over!

Big Brother has taken me to heart!

This is even scarier than beating him up on the spot!

Just as Young Master Gu Lingfeng was calculating whether he should tie up his father and bring him over to apologize upon returning, the thunder fighter jet's altitude began to descend slowly.

"Fengzi, we're here."

Ye Xiao poked him from the side, "Get ready to jump."

Young Master Gu Lingfeng staggered and almost fell.

"J-jump?"

He looked at Ye Xiao with a pale face, "Y-you're just throwing me down like this?"

Young Master Gu Lingfeng grabbed the back of the seat with both hands.

"Big Brother, let me explain."

Su Ming grabbed him by the back of his collar and walked two steps toward the cabin door.

"I just heard it..."

Young Master Gu Lingfeng kicked his feet wildly on the ground.

"That was a metaphor just now! No, my dad is farting! No, he's not my dad!"

Su Ming looked down at the current position and the height from the ground.

It's about right, he won't die.

"After you go back, give my regards to President Gu."

"I will definitely convey it. Big Brother, put me down first, we can talk..."

"I am already considering dividing the family early..."

Su Ming let go.

Young Master Gu Lingfeng was swept out of the cabin door by the airflow, his screams dragging far away.

"Big Brother! My dad is my dad, I belong to you..."

"Ah...!"

Accompanied by a shrill scream, Young Master Gu Lingfeng's figure flipped three times in mid-air, and Mystic Gold Flowing Sand surged out from his body.

Large swaths of gold sand wrapped around his waist and legs to adjust his direction, falling toward the airport transport belt of Zhennan City below.

Su Ming didn't even look back and directly closed the cabin door.

"xiao lei, change the coordinates."

The thunder fighter jet changed direction and flew toward the top-tier wealthy district of Zhennan City.

The destination was Nantian Manor, the property that Teacher Lin Qinyin had previously transferred to his name.

Su Ming pulled up the communication bar, clicked on Shen Qingci's avatar, and simply sent the new home location.

This girl should still be in the Sword Bone Secret Realm; she didn't reply.

Ye Xiao held it in for a long time before finally speaking.

"Brother Ming, I also contacted my family just now."

"Did your dad scold me too?"

"That's impossible."

"After my dad found out I was hanging out with you, he sent me twenty million in living expenses."

"I'll pay the rent, save me a spot... Oh, he also sorted out the rare Materials, and they can be sent over once I give the address later."

Su Ming said: "Not bad, I'll settle the value with you after receiving them."

"Hey, Brother Ming, what are you saying!"

Ye Xiao immediately puffed out his chest, looking righteous, "What money? That hurts our relationship!"

Hearing this, Su Ming looked at him in surprise.

Good kid, his awareness has grown.

Was that bullying clause of ninety-ten split he set earlier a bit too inhumane?

As a result, he heard Ye Xiao chuckle and rub his hands as he leaned in: "Forget the money, Brother Ming, just take me to a few more Source Abyss next time and help me catch a few Rank 7 Thunder Element Source Beast!"

Su Ming: "..."

"Do you know the price of a Rank 7 Thunder Element Source Beast?"

"That's why I didn't talk to you about money..."

Su Ming looked at his sincere face and couldn't respond for a moment.

However, he didn't refuse directly and began to think about this issue seriously.

Since Meteor has already been established, the resource System must indeed be set up.

Things he can't use can be devoured in exchange for mass points.

There is no need to waste resources suitable for team members; put them into the resource pool uniformly and let Ye Xiao and the others exchange them using mission points.

As for the exchange ratio, material valuation, contribution accounting...

Leave it to Young Master Gu Lingfeng.

That kid took the initiative to handle finance and reimbursement; might as well use him.

Su Ming leaned back in his seat and began to ponder the first version of the resource pool System.

After this promotion to the fourth life form, it's time to go to a few more Advanced Secret Realms to "restock".

Ordinary Source Beast don't mean much to him.

Rank 7 and Rank 8 are the main targets.

The Source Beast corpses belong to him, and the Source Energy crystals and special Materials go into the team resource pool.

If he encounters Thunder Element, leave a share for Ye Xiao, Dark Element goes to Night Crow, and Earth Element goes to Young Master Gu Lingfeng.

Of course, points must be deducted.

...

Zhennan City, Nantian Manor villa district.

As an A-Rank city ranked in the top three of the Federation, the prosperity of Zhennan City is far from comparable to a D-Rank small city like Jiangcheng.

When the thunder fighter jet slowly landed on the private helipad at the entrance of the villa district, a security guard in a black and gold uniform had already walked up quickly.

Su Ming subconsciously glanced at him.

Tier 3 Silver.

A gatekeeper, Tier 3 Silver.

If placed in Jiangcheng No. 1 High School, he could be a combat instructor for the elite class.

"Greetings, officers. Are you visitors or owners?"

Seeing the military thunder fighter jet, the security guard's attitude was very respectful.

"Owners, No. 88."

The respect on the security guard's face deepened by another three points instantly.

"Please wait a moment, I will open the permissions for the mansion area for you."

He didn't ask about their identities, nor did he ask for registration.

After the terminal scanned Su Ming's iris, all the protective fences in the No. 88 area were removed one by one.

Su Ming retracted his hand, and the thunder fighter jet on the helipad was stored into his spatial equipment.

The security guard looked at the cleared platform, paused for a beat, then quickly recovered and continued to lead the way.

The two got on a silent hovering sightseeing car and drove into the depths of the villa district.

On both sides of the road, there was an intelligent security Puppet every ten meters, and an identification array was hidden in the ground.

Ye Xiao's mouth hadn't closed the entire way.

"Damn, the streetlights are all powered by Source Energy crystals..."

"Are those Soul Soothing Grass planted in the green belt?"

He reached out and plucked a small leaf to smell, "It really is. This green belt alone must cost at least a few million, right?"

Su Ming didn't answer him and turned to ask the security guard: "How much is the property management fee?"

The security guard kept smiling.

"For the No. 88 mansion area, it's two million a month."

The expression on Su Ming's face didn't change.

Two million.

A month.

Just living here without doing anything is enough for an ordinary family of four to spend for over twenty years.

"Young Miss Lin knows how to live."

He said sincerely.

He has to ask Teacher Lin Qinyin for reimbursement later.

Walking past the driveway, No. 88 appeared in front.

Rather than a villa, it was more like an entire independent building complex.

The main building has four floors, with auxiliary service buildings on both sides, and leads directly to the lakeside courtyard in the back.

The exterior walls had no extra decorations, and high-strength alloy frames were embedded inside.

The black courtyard gate slid open to both sides.

Two rows of security Puppets stood with their hands down, and the identification lights on their chests turned green at the same time.

An old man was waiting at the door.

Dark gray suit, white gloves, hair combed neatly.

Su Ming's gravity perception swept over, Tier 4 Middle Stage.

The Source Energy inside the old man was divided into hundreds of thin lines, connecting to the courtyard gate, shields, main building, and underground area respectively.

This kind of fine control ability is enough even for a hunting squad.

"Young Master Su, welcome home."

The old man put his right hand on his chest and bowed slightly.

"I am Zhou Fu, the exclusive butler of No. 88. From now on, I will be responsible for security, Materials, schedule, and service."

Su Ming nodded.

A Tier 4 Gold Awakened as a butler.

Someone who couldn't be hired for an annual salary of ten million outside is opening the door for him here.

"Please allow this old man to give you a brief introduction."

Zhou Fu stepped aside to lead the way.

The entire villa has four floors above ground and two floors underground.

It is cast with composite basalt that resists Source Energy impact; the first floor is for receiving guests and communication, the second floor for living, the third floor for Cultivate functional areas, and the fourth floor is a full-size military helipad, with 3S green channel for takeoff reporting.

Ye Xiao pushed open a guest bedroom on the second floor and looked at the ridiculously large bed.

No exclamation, no "Holy crap".

He sat down directly, patted the mattress, and turned to look at Zhou Fu.

"How much is this bed?"

"Customized constant-temperature recovery bed, market price is about 3.2 million."

Ye Xiao nodded, kicked off his shoes, leaned back, and lay down in a sprawl.

"Brother Ming, I'm sleeping in this room."

"Granted."

"Thank you, leader, thank you, organization!"

Zhou Fu took the two into the elevator and continued to go down.

The first underground floor is the physical and leisure area, with constant-temperature swimming pools, gravity gyms, and high-dimensional spa equipment all available.

Su Ming glanced at it and didn't stop.

The elevator continued down to the second underground floor.

As soon as the door opened, the view suddenly widened.

A training ground of over three thousand square meters.

The floor and walls are all made of dark gold pressure-resistant alloy, with Rank 6 Source Energy shield embedded around.

There was a smell of new alloy in the air, slightly astringent.

Zhou Fu walked into the field and raised his hand to pull up the control panel.

"This place could originally only withstand Rank 5 attacks. Young Miss Lin contacted the property management three days ago and requested another upgrade."

"Currently, the floor is paved with S-Rank pressure-resistant titanium alloy, and the shield can absorb Source Energy impacts below Rank 7. The gravity System is up to ten times."

"Even if Rank 6 Awakened fight here with full force, it won't affect the structure of the main building."

Before he finished speaking.

Su Ming tentatively raised his foot and stepped on the ground.

A very ordinary, very casual step.

"Crack..."

A crack appeared under his feet and crawled outward along the alloy seams.

Two meters, five meters, ten meters.

Three nearby S-Rank titanium alloy plates sank at the same time.

The alarm light turned red.

[Excessive pressure detected.]

[Pressure sensor range overflow.]

[Ground structure damage: 17%.]

The elegant and decent smile on Zhou Fu's face froze.

He stared at Su Ming's feet, not moving for two seconds.

Then he took off his white gloves and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Young Master, did you... use any combat technique just now?"

"No, I don't know any combat techniques."

Su Ming retracted his foot and looked down at the direction of the crack,

"Just stepped on it casually to try."

Zhou Fu's Adam's apple rolled up and down.

He put his gloves back on, his tone much more cautious than when he entered the door.

"I will contact the engineering team later to replace the floor of the second underground floor with the highest-level dense alloy."

"No need."

Su Ming raised his hand to stop him.

"Don't waste that money."

"But this place can no longer satisfy your train..."

"It will be the same even if you change it."

Su Ming estimated in his heart.

Ordinary dense alloy can at most increase pressure bearing by a dozen times.

For his five thousand tons of mass, there is not much difference.

After promoting to the fourth life form, let alone the floor, the ceiling of this world might not be able to hold up.

"Just fix the damaged area."

Zhou Fu was silent for a moment, then nodded.

"Understood."

Su Ming didn't mess with the floor anymore.

Returning to the master bedroom on the second floor, he walked straight into the bathroom.

The sinking star armor covering his body turned into fine silver-black particles, blending into his skin along the muscle texture, and a perfect body of two meters and six appeared.

No exaggerated bulging muscles, every line was clean and neat, like steel that had been compressed countless times...

Volume remains unchanged, density infinitely superimposed!

After washing, with a thought, a faint shimmer appeared on his body, and a set of loose silver-gray pajamas covered him.

The fabric was skin-friendly and breathable, completely unrecognizable as being mimicked from war armor.

Su Ming didn't touch those luxurious entertainment facilities.

He walked straight into the study on the second floor and opened the encrypted terminal directly connected to the military intranet.

Fingerprint, iris, and life fluctuation triple verification passed.

[Welcome to the resource information platform of the Federal Supreme Military Commission.]

[Identity: Su Ming.]

[Rank: Major General.]

[Position: federal special investigation envoy.]

[Permission Level: Can access S-Rank and below Secret Realm data.]

Su Ming entered the search content.

《Distribution of Federal Secret Realms and High-Rank Source Beast Illustrated Guide》.

The last time he Advanced in the suburbs of Jiangcheng, the commotion was captured by military satellites.

That was only a D-Rank city, with limited monitoring.

Now that he has arrived in a large A-Rank city like Zhennan City, if he wants to stably impact the fourth life form, he must find a place that is "hard" enough.

Remote, sturdy, and able to withstand gravitational collapse.

A three-dimensional star map covering the entire territory of the Federation slowly unfolded in front of him.

Four hundred and seventy-two red areas.

One hundred and thirty-six A-Rank Secret Realms.

Twenty-seven S-Rank Secret Realms.

Ten SS-Rank Secret Realms.

Five SSS-Rank Secret Realms.

Behind each one, the Source Beast Rank, environmental parameters, resource types, spatial stability, and military garrison status were marked.

Ordinary Awakened look at these Materials, first looking at the mortality rate, then the evacuation route, and only then dare to look at the resources.

Su Ming's order is a bit different.

First, whether there is a city nearby.

Second, whether the geological structure is hard enough.

Third, whether the Source Beast is valuable.

He clicked on the first S-Rank Secret Realm.

[Red Tide Volcano Group.]

[Highest recorded Source Beast: Rank 8 Red Flame Ancient Lizard.]

[Distance to the nearest city: 90 kilometers.]

Too close.

The second SS-Rank Secret Realm.

[Northern Territory Permafrost Rift.]

[Highest recorded Source Beast: Suspected signs of "Frost Titan" sleeping.]

[Covered by Rank 9 Ice Law all year round.]

[Distance to the nearest city: 370 kilometers.]

Still not far enough.

Su Ming continued to flip down.

The data pages flew by; either they were too close to the city, the geological structure was too soft, or the spatial stability was questionable.

Until the nineteenth one.

His finger stopped.

An area located in the southern territory of the Federation, marked in deep black.

[S-Rank Secret Realm · Abyss of Heavy Prison]

[Location: 1,700 kilometers south of Zhennan City.]

[Secret Realm status: Long-term blockade.]

[Spatial stability: Unknown.]

[Average gravity: 32 times the outside world.]

[Local gravity peak: 126 times the outside world.]

[Geological structure: Suspected high-density Meteor mineral deposit.]

[Confirmed Source Beast: Rank 8 Mountain-Crushing Iron-Armored Armadillo.]

[Unregistered Rank 8 Source Beast exists.]

[Personnel below Rank 8 are prohibited from entering!]
