534: Disposable star core fragment: 'Wait'

Lei Ming ultimately accepted the heaven and earth treasures.

The allure of rare treasures to living beings is unparalleled.

Returning the rare treasure to Yang Dian earlier had taken all of his willpower.

Now that Yang Dian had said it, bringing out so many rare treasures was for the purpose of enhancing the overall strength of the Expeditionary Force, to better conquer the Alien Planet.

What did he have to hesitate about?

In short, four words:

Just do it!

Watching Lei Ming happily put away the lightning-attribute heaven and earth treasures, and occasionally raising the hand that had held them to smell it, Yang Dian couldn't help but feel a little disgusted:

“Uncle Lei, be serious. You are, after all, the deputy commander of the Expeditionary Force.”

“If people see you like this, our Expeditionary Force will lose all face.”

Lei Ming chuckled:

“Thirty-seven heaven and earth treasures! And they're all lightning-attribute heaven and earth treasures, just like me.”

“I don't think anyone who gets these treasures would show a different expression than mine, right?”

Saying that, he chuckled again:

“Besides, Li Gui and those guys have all gone into your treasury to look for heaven and earth treasures, so they can't see me like this. What are you worried about?”

Yang Dian gestured with his eyes towards the camera in the corner of the meeting room:

“Although Uncle Gui and the others have gone in, the camera is still on.”

“Every meeting we have is recorded.”

“Many people can probably see this meeting's surveillance, right?”

Lei Ming, realizing, froze for a moment, then anxiously said:

“Ya Zi? Ya Zi!”

“Quickly delete that last segment of surveillance!”

Ya Zi, with a sword in its mouth, projected onto Yang Dian's shoulder and shook its head:

“Deputy Commander, you do not have permission to delete surveillance.”

Lei Ming said nothing, only looking at Yang Dian.

Yang Dian chuckled for a moment, then spoke:

“Delete those inappropriate actions the Deputy Commander just made.”

Ya Zi bounced a little:

“The Deputy Commander's inappropriate actions have been deleted.”

Then the little thing straightened its face and looked at Lei Ming:

“Deputy Commander, you are one of our Expeditionary Force's leaders. Please always pay attention to your words and actions to avoid bringing negative influence to the legion.”

Lei Ming covered his face with both hands.

A lifetime of prestige, lost today, and even lectured by the intelligent AI.

Just as Lei Ming covered his face with both hands, Li Gui, who had already chosen his rare treasure, was the first to emerge from the Star Core Space.

“Influence? What influence?”

“I think I just heard the words 'negative influence'.”

“And it was that little thing Ya Zi who said it.”

“Cough cough~” Lei Ming coughed:

“Nothing, I was discussing with the Commander how to expand our influence on the Strange Star and quickly turn the Strange Star into our Blessed Land.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Anyun, the commander of the Expeditionary Force's 3rd Legion, who had just walked out of the spatial gate, spoke:

“I think we can carpet bomb it with nuclear bombs.”

“Nothing can have a greater impact than carpet bombing with nuclear bombs.”

Chen Ci, the commander of the Awakened Legion, glanced at Chu Anyun upon hearing this:

“Carpet bombing with nuclear bombs?”

“It's possible, but after nuclear bombing, there will be nuclear radiation everywhere. When the Strange Star becomes our Blessed Land, how will we use its land for farming?”

“Chen Ci makes a good point. We cannot cause irreversible damage to the planet for the sake of temporary speed.”

“I think we can take the Beast-Ear Tribe with us. The Beast-Ear Tribe are, after all, the indigenous people of the Strange Star. Letting them personally witness us clearing out the strangeness might accelerate the progress of dimensional erosion.”

“I think that's a good idea to try, Old Chen. You have such a good idea, why didn't you say it before?”

“Hey, didn't I just think of it?...”

As everyone spoke freely, Xi Jie suddenly said:

“Perhaps we can also let the Beast-Ear Tribe Cultivate the Spark meditation method.”

“Making the Beast-Ear Tribe loyal to Huaxia should also count as expanding our Huaxia's influence on the Strange Star, which can accelerate dimensional erosion.”

Li Gui and the others looked at each other for a while, then said in unison:

“Makes sense!”

Yang Dian then spoke:

“Since you brought this up, I'll leave it to you.”

“I don't expect all Beast-Ear people to be able to visualize the Spark, but try to make them loyal to Huaxia.”

Xi Jie stood up and bowed to Yang Dian:

“Yes!”

“I guarantee the completion of the mission!”

After Xi Jie enthusiastically accepted the order, Yang Dian took out another 110 star core fragments and placed them in front of everyone.

Facing everyone's curious gazes, Yang Dian tapped the table and then spoke:

“These star core fragments are inscribed with a Formation, and within the Formation is one of my casual strikes.”

These were small gadgets Yang Dian made in his spare time. Although it was just a casual strike, it was as easy as playing to defeat the strange beings and evil gods, whose strongest were only in the Star-Patrolling Realm.

“When using it, just use your Divine Thought to lock onto the enemy, then tightly grip the star core fragment, and shout the two words 'Wait a moment', and you can activate the Formation within the star core fragment.”

“Then just throw the star core fragment in the direction of the enemy.”

Li Gui, who casually picked up a star core fragment, blinked.

“Wait a moment?”

As the words fell, he immediately heard a soft 'click' sound.

Li Gui, whose face instantly turned pale, looked at Yang Dian.

Yang Dian, who also noticed the movement from Li Gui's side, snatched the star core, noticed the three cracks on it, and then looked at Li Gui, saying:

“The other legions each take 10 star core fragments.”

“The First Legion gets 9.”

As soon as Yang Dian finished speaking, Chen Ci and the others, including Xi Jie, had already turned their hands into afterimages, grabbing exactly ten star core fragments each.

Li Gui slapped his own mouth:

“Why is my mouth so cheap?”

After slapping his mouth, he looked at Yang Dian with some internal conflict:

“Commander, how powerful is this thing?”

Yang Dian casually flicked the star core fragment in his hand away:

“Go outside and see for yourself.”

As the words fell, Li Gui's hair stood on end.

Above the large lake outside the base, a Spiritual Pressure arose that made him feel despair...
