30: Chapter 30 The Golden Legend

Zhou An took a deep breath, walked straight forward, and slammed his hand onto the four diamond chests in front of him!

"Open them all!"

"Buzz—!"

An extremely dazzling diamond-colored halo shot into the sky; if not for the fortress's anti-glare system, this light could have blinded a person.

Immediately after, a waterfall-like series of system notifications went crazy in Zhou An's mind!

[Opened Diamond Chest x 4]

[Obtained: Tier 3 core materials, including steel, rubber, fiber, etc., totaling 200,000 units!]

[Obtained: Tier 4 high-order special materials/equipment, totaling 20,000 units!]

[Obtained: Cloud Top Fortress Advancement Blueprint x 1!]

"Boom!"

A massive amount of supplies instantly filled the huge storage area to the brim, with various Tier 3 materials exuding a high-grade metallic luster and extremely rare Tier 4 materials piled up like mountains.

"Two hundred thousand Tier 3 materials?! And twenty thousand Tier 4 materials?!"

Although Li Muzi had a calm personality, she couldn't help but scream out loud at this moment.

"Actually, it's a loss; I don't lack materials right now."

Zhou An grabbed the blueprint that was emitting a dark golden light: "A LV4 blueprint! As long as the materials are in place, we can step into the next civilization tier at any time!"

But he didn't stop, walking decisively toward the remaining four diamond chests.

"Continue!"

The fifth chest opened.

[Obtained Legendary Device: Poseidon's Tear Water Source Sublimator]

Quality: Legendary (Gold)

Effect: Can be connected to existing water purification modules. It will forcibly sublimate the produced ordinary purified water into blue-quality [Spiritual Spring Water]!

Remark: Long-term consumption can wash away hidden injuries. If used to irrigate mutated plants, it will produce incredible growth-promoting and mutation effects.

"This one is yours!"

Zhou An tossed this azure, water-drop-shaped device directly to Li Muzi.

Li Muzi caught it in a fluster: "Blue-quality water source... with this, the growth speed of my seeds can increase by at least 20% to 30%, and it might even raise their quality cap!"

The sixth chest opened.

[Obtained Legendary Biological Egg: Star Skeleton Dragon Egg]

Quality: Legendary (Gold)

Effect: A stillborn fetus possessing pure dragon blood, revitalized by the power of the system.

Hatching conditions: Requires an extremely long time and a massive amount of high-order materials for feeding.

A giant egg, half a person tall and covered in dazzling star patterns, slammed heavily onto the deck, exuding a heart-palpitating dragon might.

The seventh chest opened.

[Obtained Legendary Potion: Titan's Blood Enhancement Reagent]

Quality: Legendary (Gold)

Effect: Forcibly reshapes the user's body. Significantly increases physical strength, bone density, neural reaction speed, and cellular self-healing ability!

Remark: Drink it, and your body will be comparable to a humanoid tyrannosaurus.

Finally, the eighth diamond chest.

When the light dissipated, a black magic cube with an extremely precise structure and honeycomb-like optical patterns flowing on its surface was silently suspended in mid-air.

[Obtained Legendary Shipboard Device: Void Warp Stealth Field]

Quality: Legendary (Gold)

Installation location: Spaceship external armor hub

[Passive · Normal Stealth]: After being equipped, it can completely shield all detection radar and naked-eye vision of vehicles one major tier lower than itself; for example, a LV3 fortress can perfectly ignore all detection from LV2 and below.

[Active · Void Warp]: After activation, energy consumption increases sharply, with a duration of three hours. It can forcibly shield the autonomous radar detection of spaceships of the same tier! If it's a spaceship of the same tier, even if the other party is equipped with a Legendary-grade detection radar, it will be difficult to discover your tracks!

Additional effects: Perfect optical stealth, thermal imaging shielding, sound wave absorption.

"An absolute stealth artifact..."

Zhou An stared fixedly at this black magic cube, gasping for air.

Just a moment ago, he was thinking that if he entered the 19,000-meter guild combat zone, although he had fierce firepower, two fists couldn't fight four hands, and he would easily be targeted by several large guilds combined. But now, with this [Void Warp Stealth Field]...

"We are currently a LV3 fortress; by activating active stealth, even LV4 spaceships can't scan us! Guild leaders of the same tier will be as good as blind!"

Zhou An looked at the hail countdown already flickering on the radar and ordered: "Muzi, go install the Water Source Sublimator onto the water purification system. Luo Ning, you go help me embed this stealth field into the armor hub of the main control console!"

"There is less than twenty minutes until the hail! Everyone, prepare for disaster!"

"Once the hail passes, it will be time for us to go on a killing spree in this high-altitude area!"

Zhou An held the [Titan's Blood Enhancement Reagent], feeling the scorching temperature coming from the tube wall, and without the slightest hesitation, tilted his head back and drank it in one gulp.

"Boom!"

The moment the potion entered his throat, it felt like swallowing a mass of violent magma. A terrifyingly hot current instantly exploded inside Zhou An's body, rushing along his blood vessels and scouring his limbs and bones.

"Urgh!" Zhou An let out a low roar as his muscles expanded and contracted at a visible rate. Under his skin, it felt like countless small snakes were slithering—that was the muscle fibers undergoing extremely violent tearing and restructuring.

His bones even emitted crisp, popping sounds like exploding beans. His originally well-proportioned figure was forcibly stretched by several centimeters, filled with explosive aesthetic power.

The whole process lasted a full five minutes, and Zhou An fell to the ground, drenched in sweat.

He clenched his fist violently, and even the air was squeezed, producing a dull sonic boom.

[System Prompt: Host's physique has undergone a super-tier transition!]

[Personal combat power tier upgraded to: Tier 3!]

Zhou An let out a long breath and summoned his latest panel.

"Tier 3 physique combined with epic armor, plus a stealth fortress; now I can really walk sideways."

Zhou An closed the panel with satisfaction.

For the next few hours, the hail arrived as scheduled.

But with thick armor and sufficient energy, the Cloud Top Fortress remained as steady as a mountain amidst this natural disaster, as if the deadly ice blocks smashing down outside were just hypnotic white noise.

Until late at night, the hail stopped abruptly.
