94: Chapter 94 I need to check the cards!
Hearing the tiger-wolf words "I will call you Dad" and "son-in-Law living with the wife's family", Shen Qingci, who was always cold and arrogant, felt a "buzz" in her brain, and it instantly went blank.
That alluring pink blush spread from her earlobes, quickly dyeing her fair, slender neck red.
She was so angry that she stomped on Su Ming's instep, gritted her silver teeth, and squeezed a few words through her teeth:
"Su Ming! You... do you still want your face! Who wants you to be a son-in-Law living with the wife's family!"
This stomp was not light, but stepping on Su Ming's foot was like a kitten scratching an itch; it couldn't even make him sway.
To inherit the legacy, one must first fall in love!
And to fall in love, one must first be a pervert!
Su Ming's awareness was very high.
At this moment, he was grinning, his gaze still drifting toward those glittering treasures.
On the other side, Shen Hongyuan was truly amused to the point of anger this time.
Without any extra nonsense, he looked at Su Ming's smiling, handsome face and flicked his finger in the air.
"Bang—!"
Su Ming only felt an irresistible Void Realm power slam into his chest. His whole body was like it had been hit by a high-speed maglev train, and he flew backward instantly!
His chest was in pain. He was certain that if this force had been half a point stronger, his ribs would definitely have broken.
Just as he was about to hit the rack displaying Source Energy weapons behind him, an invisible barrier appeared out of thin air, supporting him softly yet firmly, and then bounced him back.
Su Ming rolled several times on the ground before stopping in a sorry state.
He lay face down on the ground, motionless.
This father-in-Law really wanted to kill him!
A few seconds later, Su Ming stood up, covered in dirt, patted the dust off his body, and bowed respectfully toward Shen Hongyuan.
Then, he turned around and looked at Shen Qingci with a pitiful expression, moving his lips silently toward her.
The lip-reading was clear — "I am sincere!"
After saying this, under Shen Qingci's gaze of shame and anger, he immediately turned around, pretending nothing had happened, and went to look at the treasures with great interest.
That hit just now really hurt, but the things in this Hidden Vault made his heart ache even more...
He dared not show off anymore; what if they were destroyed?
This old man... was too terrifying!
Shen Hongyuan looked indifferent, but his heart was turning over.
His move just now wasn't just because he was angry. On one hand, he saw that this kid was glib and wanted to make him suffer a little; his precious daughter wasn't so easy to woo!
On the other hand, he also wanted to test the kid's depth.
After changing to a new phone at noon, Commander Qin Luo called again, relaying Lieutenant Colonel Chu Feng's report in detail.
The Tier 5 Lieutenant Colonel's evaluation of Su Ming was extremely high, even suggesting that he be prioritized for observation and introduction to the military.
Only then did Shen Hongyuan have the idea to test him. Who knew this kid was so smart, running right into the muzzle of the gun.
His move just now already held Su Ming in high regard, adding half a point of force. An ordinary Tier 3 Awakening would have lost half their life if not died!
As a result, this kid... his face wasn't red, he wasn't out of breath. Even his clothes weren't dirty. He stood up like nothing had happened?
Shen Hongyuan narrowed his eyes. He rubbed his nose with his hand, blocking his changing expression.
He had only been on vacation raising a kid for twenty years, right? Had the world of martial arts developed to this point?
If current Tier 3 Silver were all this outrageous, then Source Beasts wouldn't be a concern! Or was it that... this kid was not an ordinary Tier 3?
He had a dark face and said in an unkind tone:
"You only have three minutes left. Pick your items and get out! After the time is up, you go out empty-handed!"
Shen Qingci looked at her father, a bit confused.
But Su Ming couldn't care about bickering with him anymore; his heart was already screaming wildly:
"System! Quick! Scan! Scan the whole place! Pick the most expensive one for me!"
He was like a country bumpkin who had just entered the city, walking quickly through the dazzling Hidden Vault as if strolling through a vegetable market.
He walked to the weapon rack and picked up a long saber with runes still flowing on it.
[Ding! Detected Tier 5 Void-Slaying Saber, estimated convertible mass points: 5500!]
"Tsk, only five thousand-plus."
He put down the saber and knocked on a thick turtle-shell patterned armor.
[Ding! Detected Tier 6 Mysterious Turtle Heavy Armor, estimated convertible mass points: 8800!]
Eight thousand eight hundred!
"Not bad, but still not the best."
He walked through the flowers, from rare Ore to Source Beast specimens; the System notification sound kept ringing in his mind.
Fist-sized Dark Star Meteor Iron, 5000 points; football-sized Golden Sun Ore Mother, 7200; Tier 7 Deep Sea Giant Monster tentacle specimen, 9000 points...
Every item taken out would be a sky-high price, but in his eyes, it was like comparing prices in a vegetable market; he finished checking them one by one and put them back one by one.
Shen Qingci stood at the entrance, watching his picky appearance, and the corners of her mouth twitched. Many of the treasures here were things she was seeing for the first time. But in this man's hands, they were like flipping through cabbage.
Su Ming walked to a row of huge culture dishes and finally stopped when he saw a giant heart still beating weakly inside.
[Ding! Detected Tier 7 Source Beast Lion-Tiger Beast heart (active), estimated convertible mass points: 15000!]
Over ten thousand!
If he could eat a few of these, he would charge straight toward Tier 4!
"One more minute!" Shen Hongyuan's cold voice sounded mercilessly.
Damn it, did you adjust the clock!
Su Ming's eyes swept, and he suddenly saw the outline of another entrance in the depths of the Hidden Vault.
Good for you, you old tiger Shen, you really have it! Playing tricks on me here? The good stuff must be hidden below!
I want to verify the goods!
I want to go to the next level!
The next second, Su Ming's drama king persona possessed him. He stopped, shook his head and sighed repeatedly at the room full of treasures, his eyes full of disappointment and disdain for this pile of "trash".
"Boss," he turned his head, looking sincere, "I don't like anything on this floor. It's not that great, too ordinary. I want to go to the next floor to see!"
As soon as these words came out, Shen Qingci, standing at the door, opened her red lips slightly, her face full of disbelief.
Any one of these items, if taken out, would be enough to cause a fight among Tier 5 powerhouses. In his mouth, it became "not that great"? What kind of madness is this guy having?
Shen Hongyuan had seen this old drama king perform before, and immediately blurted out:
"You are dreaming! Just this floor, take it or leave it! You are not qualified to enter the two floors below!"
There are two more floors! Why am I not qualified! I have a cheat!
But he couldn't say it now...
Shen Hongyuan looked at Su Ming's appearance and snorted, adding:
"The lowest here is Tier 5, and the highest is Tier 7! If you don't pick, don't waste my time here!"
Su Ming sighed in his heart. Shen Hongyuan was right; every item here was worth a fortune. But what he needed most right now was hard goods that could quickly increase his mass points!
His gaze swept across the whole place and was finally attracted by the incomparably huge skeleton in the corner.
It was a complete bird skeleton with a wingspan of over thirty meters, its whole body flashing with a dark golden luster. Even though it had been dead for unknown years, the terrifying pressure emanating from the bones still made his eyes ache.
[Ding! Detected Tier 7 Peak Source Beast · Golden-Winged Great Peng skeleton, estimated convertible mass points: 40000!]
A full 40,000 points! He was one big step closer to the 100,000kg Tier 4 threshold!
Seeing Su Ming staring quietly at the Great Peng skeleton as if frozen, Shen Hongyuan thought he was stunned and said with a bit of pride in his tone:
"Don't look at it; you can't use it even if you take it."
Su Ming turned his head, pretending to be humble and seeking advice.
"You think that when Source Beasts reach a high tier, they still compete on size and brute force? You are dead wrong." Shen Hongyuan popularized.
"After Source Beasts reach Tier 7, their flesh and blood will gradually evolve towards 'energy-based'. They will conceive pieces of Law relics in their bodies. This Tier 7 Peak Golden-Winged Great Peng, its essence, is all in the dark golden Law inscriptions on its bones. That is its comprehension of the Space and Storm Law during its lifetime. If humans can comprehend some of it, they will benefit infinitely."
He paused, his tone becoming cold:
"It's just a pity that the higher the tier of the relic, the more violent and exclusionary the energy is. With your current strength, forcefully absorbing it will only make you explode and die."
Su Ming listened very carefully. But his mind was not on any "comprehending the Law". Laws or no Laws, he wasn't going down that path. His path was simple and crude... Eat! Eat! Eat!
The swallow function of the System space didn't care about your energy exclusion. Once the micro black hole is opened, whether you are a Tier 7 or Tier 8 relic, it will all be converted into mass points for me.
40,000 points! It's you.
He was about to speak, to say "Just this bird", when the System panel in his mind suddenly flashed with dazzling red light!
The red light jumped at the edge of his vision like an arrow, pointing to another corner of the Hidden Vault.
Following the System's guidance, Su Ming directly ignored the domineering Great Peng skeleton and ignored all the colorful areas, striding toward a neglected corner in the deepest part of the Hidden Vault!
Shen Qingci frowned at his back, not understanding why he suddenly changed direction. Shen Hongyuan also narrowed his eyes.
Finally, Su Ming stopped in front of a transparent custom-made glass cabinet.
The glass cabinet was very small, not even a grade better than the flashy display cabinets next to it.
There were no labels or nameplates on the cabinet, not even a serial number. It was just placed casually in the corner, like a forgotten piece of clutter.
Inside the cabinet, there were no divine weapons or colorful lights. There was only a broken bone.
Forearm length, charred black all over, the surface covered with dense, tiny holes. It floated in the center of the glass cabinet, motionless.
No brilliance, no pressure, no strange phenomena. It looked like a piece of burnt rotten wood, inconspicuous.
But Su Ming's System panel went crazy at this moment.
The red light no longer flashed but turned into a brand-new prompt box he had never seen before. The edge of the box was a dark gold that was so intense it was black.
[Ding!]
[Detected unknown high-tier life remains... analyzing...]
[Warning: Target mass density exceeds the host's current density detection limit.]
[Estimated convertible mass points: ??????]
