Chapter 1331 Chapter 1408 Hurting Self-esteem - 1409 Heaven and Earth Grinding Wheel (Two-in-one chapter asking for monthly tickets)
Chapter 1408 Hurting Self-esteem (Fourth Update)
Da Vinci made up his mind, and said seriously, "We have been stranded here for nearly fifty years..."
"I can point out the place where I discovered it, but the environment must have changed. You may not be able to do what you want."
"I'm a little curious too, and I'd like to ask, what is this stone used for?"
Logically speaking, Leonardo da Vinci shouldn't have asked such questions, and he himself was well aware of this.
However, he knew better that the other party was already asking questions about the origin of the stone, which showed the importance of the matter.
At this point, whether he asks or not, he is already considered an insider, it's just a matter of whether he knows more or less.
It would be fine if the other party doesn't care, but if he really does care, the result won't be much different whether he asks or not.
In that case, he might as well ask the question openly, which would be worthy of the Supreme Being.
The nutrient was not surprised and prepared a statement, "Senior Da Vinci, do you know where the awakened ones mainly atone for their sins?"
Although she was still cold, the addition of the word "senior" was a good trend anyway.
Is he really a rising star? Da Vinci nodded calmly, "I haven't been back for decades. There are really many talented people among the awakened ones."
"Of course the location of atonement can be hidden from me...Dorgan also knows it, it is nothing more than the Alliance and Federation fronts."
Nutrient nodded slightly, "The Alliance and the Federation are now facing a massive invasion from another dimension."
Da Vinci was stunned when he heard this. "I've heard of alien space invasions... but this 'large-scale', is it what I thought?"
The nutrient nodded, "It's just as you thought. The alien creatures fight together as a team, which is quite difficult to deal with."
"Damn..." Da Vinci rubbed his forehead in frustration, "I never thought I would encounter something like this in my lifetime."
He had lived long enough to have heard of the occasional fluctuations and leaks in space nodes.
But a massive invasion by creatures from another dimension... He only knew that this was a possibility, and it was also written about in some fantasy novels.
Who would have thought that after being trapped for decades, fantasy would become reality?
He pondered and asked, "The Alliance and the Federation have encountered invasions... What kind of alien space and what alien creatures are they?"
Nutrient shook his head slightly, "You can go find out about this kind of thing yourself. You have plenty of information channels anyway."
This is it~~Da Vinci rolled his eyes and almost wanted to curse.
But he still held back, "So our empire is still safe now?"
"Well," the nutrient nodded, "I'm fine for now."
That's not safe either! Leonardo da Vinci was also a famously smart man, and he guessed the truth with a quick glance.
"So, you collected these stones... to use them for this purpose?"
The nutrient replied expressionlessly, "I didn't say anything. I just wanted to confirm with you where the stones are distributed."
"We have all the records of this," Da Vinci replied seriously, "I can give you a copy later."
Although everyone left the ecosystem equipment in a hurry, they basically took everything valuable with them.
Their team came here in a specially made scientific research vessel, which has superb configurations, even far surpassing regimental-level ships.
Of course, in this environment, if you have bad luck, no matter how strong the configuration is, it will be useless.
But it is undeniable that with such strength, in addition to caring about the harvest of various treasures, they also care about data collection.
The chaos in the Girl Star Domain is second to none in the entire empire, and data analysis is basically useless.
But even so, it is necessary to record the data - what if it comes in handy?
Moreover, this huge amount of data must ultimately be collected bit by bit by humans in order to eventually reach a level that can be calculated.
This deadline... can be said to be endless, but someone has to do it. The sea of stars is conquered bit by bit!
So although Da Vinci's team didn't bring a lot of daily necessities, they still brought the key data.
He was not in a hurry to produce the data, as it was a matter of time. What he cared about more now was, "What else did you guys fancy?"
Nutrient looked at him calmly, "What else do you want me to like?"
"This..." Da Vinci was a little confused about what to say. He couldn't just ask the other party to rob him. "Just these three things, right?"
"I saw the junk you picked up," the nutrient replied expressionlessly.
Although her own team was also picking up scraps, when she saw the other side's gains, she felt that the two sides were not on the same level at all.
Just as Dorgan said, our harvest was really quite good, even though the other party had arrived fifty years earlier.
I have to admit that because the team has mastered the spiritual sense and there is a small lake, the efficiency of searching for treasures is really high.
So the nutritionist doesn't mind saying, "What do you think are the gains that are worth paying attention to that we haven't discovered yet?"
She felt that the possibility was too low. After all, she was not the only one who used spiritual sense to scan these storage equipment!
Especially since Master Yi He is among them - if there is any treasure that can be hidden from this person, everyone will accept it.
However, Da Vinci felt that his team was a little underestimated.
Before, he was worried that the other party was too greedy and would take away too many good things from him, so he could only swallow his anger.
However, the other party's contempt made him feel a little resentful.
Being robbed is very infuriating, but if they think I’m poor and don’t rob me, that hurts my dignity!
However, the other party's tone was too arrogant, so he could only say carefully, "That's good, it seems that our vision is still a little small."
"Are you talking about those talismans and pills?" The nutrient asked disdainfully, "Or those broken weapons?"
The other party did collect some talismans, elixirs and weapon fragments, and some of the weapons were even almost complete.
However, it was really too little. She didn't know how the other party collected it bit by bit, but she was sure that it was definitely not easy.
These things in the divine text system are actually treasures, but robbing a beggar...it's easy to feel guilty.
Damn it! Da Vinci really wanted to curse after hearing this: We collected all those with great effort!
But now, he has acquiesced that the other party is stronger than himself. Although it is still a little hard to accept, at least he can face it.
He smiled and said, "That's all we can do. How about you give us some pointers... which items here are more valuable?"
He does have a bad temper, but a truly strong person is one who is strong inside, and he doesn't mind taking the opportunity to learn from the other party.
The nutrient ignored him and said directly, "Boss, there's nothing worth taking from these things, right?"
Da Vinci was stunned again when he heard this: Oh my god, Dogan is not in charge, and you are not the boss either?
He understood very well that in ordinary forces, the boss might not be the one with the highest cultivation level.
An example of this can be seen in Sural, who is only an A-level company but is a major shareholder of the Seer Group.
However, Leonardo da Vinci knew one thing more clearly: above the highest... that is above the ordinary rules.
It is true that the Supreme is the top combat force in the empire and the most powerful person in the empire.
But the reason why the Supreme is called the Supreme and is regarded as the ceiling by everyone is that it is a visible ceiling within the rules.
But above the highest level, it is beyond the scope of rules and basically no one can restrain it.
For someone like Dougan... who can make her call him boss willingly?
But then, Dorgan spoke up, "There's nothing to worry about. They're just junk. The boss said to leave some for them."
This... really hurts my self-esteem!
"Okay then," the nutrient replied casually, then stretched out his hand, "Give me the data... and half of the spirit stones."
Then she took the storage device and the grinding wheel and left leisurely.
The people on the Da Vinci team looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.
One of the Supremes plucked up the courage to say, "Sir, can you at least try to get a starship?"
This is really the truth. How could such a group of elite fighters stay in the storage compartment?
When Qu Jianlei rescued people in the past, in order to keep his family’s secrets, he would often put the people in the cargo hold and then release them when the time came.
Generally speaking, there is nothing wrong with doing this, but it is only a measure taken during space navigation.
This law is completely inapplicable in the Girl Star Domain - no one who comes here is an easy person to deal with!
Everyone comes here to make money, but they are locked up in the cargo hold. How can this be?
And they are all capable people, and most of the time, they trust themselves more than they trust others.
Without a place to maneuver, the sense of security is extremely poor - it is better to protect yourself than to rely on you to protect me.
So it is normal for someone to want a starship.
But Da Vinci had seen the world after all. He shook his head slightly and said, "First make up for the loss in your body!"
They had been in the ecosphere for nearly fifty years, and the fourteen members had been reduced to nine.
Some of them are unable to bear it due to old age, but some people just cannot stand the dullness in the ecosystem.
In the ecosystem, everyone does not have to worry about food and drink, but who dares to eat and drink to their heart's content?
We have no idea when the rescue from outside will arrive, so shouldn’t we try to be frugal?
In fact, no one really thought that rescue would be inevitable.
This is deep in the Girl Star Domain, and the energy group they chose is too powerful.
When we chose this place, we were full of confidence, but later everyone felt that we were taking too big a step - it was really ridiculous.
However, there is no point in saying these things now. Anyway, everyone in the ecosystem is trying to reduce activities as much as possible in order to last longer.
So in this situation, who would deliberately pursue cultivation?
Even if he wanted to practice, he didn't have the conditions. Leonardo da Vinci did bring a super energy gathering array, but could the energy blocks be used in that way?
Therefore, everyone’s current body is in a state of deficiency, and it is not an ordinary deficiency, but a long-term lack of internal energy.
It is really necessary to take a break. Leonardo da Vinci just asked for a break.
In fact, it was not an act, but the team really had such a need.
------
Chapter 1409: The Grinding Wheel of Heaven and Earth (Fifth Update)
The problem that Da Vinci's team faced when they wanted to practice was that the cargo hold was too small!
In such a small space, it is impossible to set up a super Qi gathering formation, and the noise during cultivation will inevitably alert the other party.
As for the fact that the super energy gathering formation is taboo in the empire - don't be ridiculous, that's for ordinary people, okay?
So he said in a deep voice, "Duogan, we want to build a Qi Gathering Array to practice for a while, can we change the place?"
As expected, Dogan's answer came immediately, "Switch to the first ammunition compartment, it's already emptied."
This is the advantage of acquaintances. Although the two have only met a few times, it is no problem to coordinate such a small matter with each other.
"But don't let your people move around randomly, so as to avoid making things difficult for me."
Now on the regimental-level ship, Xiaohu is analyzing the confiscated data, and he has a high opinion of the data.
"That's a lot of data. No wonder these people have been able to hold on until now. They are indeed well prepared."
At the same time, everyone discovered that the ecosystem device was still persisting.
Qu Jianlei immediately changed his mind, "Put it away. It's always better to have one more trump card."
After issuing the order, he began to study the set of grinding wheels, "This is... a magical tool for the Jindan stage."
"It's a replica of the Heaven and Earth Grindstone," said Coke simply, "it should have the function of absorbing and grinding away."
"Absorb and obliterate?" The others' eyes lit up when they heard this. Duo Gan couldn't help but say, "This is a good magic weapon."
Upon hearing this, Qu Jianlei couldn't help but nodded.
The empire is truly a desert of magical weapons. There has never been a magical weapon that says, "I call you, do you dare to respond?"
Therefore, the emergence of this magical instrument is indeed worthy of everyone's praise.
Even Old Lady Jia couldn't help but sigh, "What a pity, it's just a Jindan-level magic weapon."
Otherwise, she really wanted to buy it.
Qu Jianlei looked at the Fourth Master and asked, "Your palm leaf fan, do you think... you should change it?"
The fourth in command obviously hesitated. The magic weapon in his hand was indeed a bit useless.
But in the end, he shook his head and said, "Let's do this for now. My magic weapon is good for team battles and may also break the chaotic energy flow."
When Dogan used the Wind-Fixing Beads just now, he suddenly realized that each magical weapon has its own use.
Since the Wind-Fixing Bead could protect those three people and stabilize their bodies in the energy turbulence, wouldn't his palm-leaf fan also be useful?
"Hmm?" Qu Jianlei was stunned at first, then he smiled and nodded, "Yeah, then there's no need to rush."
"It is not our ultimate goal for everyone to have a magic weapon. We need to collect more!"
Before, when he said that everyone would have a magic weapon, it seemed like bragging, but now... it's almost done.
As he spoke, Xiao Hu had already entered the control system of the ecosystem equipment and started the folding operation.
At the same time, Da Vinci's team started to set up a super gas gathering array in the ammunition compartment.
While setting it up, everyone was muttering that this place was... too closed.
Air circulation can still be guaranteed, but without external vision, it feels really stuffy.
So Da Vinci spoke again, hoping that Dogan could make arrangements to provide some visual windows for everyone.
——We respect your request for confidentiality and can stay where you are, but we are not prisoners after all, right?
After receiving the request, Qu Jianlei arranged for Xiaohu to transfer some external windows to these people.
As long as the other party remains honest, there is no problem in meeting some legitimate demands.
Then, Da Vinci’s people saw that their own ecosystem equipment was being folded and recycled by robotic arms.
"I said no, but I couldn't help it... but it's really interesting."
However, some people can see clearly that "our products are good enough, so the other party adjusted the plan... their decision-making ability is not bad."
Everyone knows that in the Girl Star Domain, there is never a complete plan, and the ability to adapt to changing circumstances is more important.
Then someone else discovered, "Didn't you notice? The movement of this regimental-level ship is... very strange."
Da Vinci, on the other hand, understood clearly, "It should be... there is artificial intelligence. Didn't you notice the ecosystem equipment being put away?"
"Artificial intelligence," someone muttered, but no further words were said.
It is indeed a prohibited act, but it is a bit ridiculous to say this now.
Xiao Hu continued to drive the starship forward while sorting out the newly acquired data.
After about a day, some information about the flawless crystal was sorted out.
Even though the information was from fifty years ago, we were able to sort out some clues and roughly determine several directions.
Over the next two days, it chose two directions and tried to get closer.
At this time, Master Yi He finally demonstrated his value, "The second direction doesn't make any sense, the first direction works!"
In this situation, everyone naturally chooses to trust him - mainly because there is no other choice.
However, as we go deeper into the energy group, the long journey becomes more and more difficult.
On the third day of the journey, energy turbulence suddenly erupted in front of the starship without any warning.
Fortunately, Xiaohu determined in advance that there might be unstable factors there and avoided it narrowly.
But this scene frightened the Leonardo da Vinci team who were watching - they had encountered a similar disaster fifty years ago.
Da Vinci had to contact Dorgan again, hoping that the other party could give his team a starship.
"We have recovered some of our strength. If we help, will everyone be safer?"
Dogan is still recovering his spiritual energy in the super spirit gathering array... The grab a few days ago was powerful enough, but it also consumed a lot of energy.
So the nutrients came to the ammunition compartment again.
She asked expressionlessly, "Are you sure that it is safer to operate your own ship than on our starship?"
This question was asked... No one dared to answer directly. Everyone saw the starship's thrilling evasion just now.
Da Vinci had to say that he had good intentions - our members were quite experienced and it would be a pity to leave them idle.
The nutrient informed the other party that they did have another starship, but it was just an armed merchant ship.
"If you are sure you need it, I can lend it to you, but we will no longer have any relationship. Is that okay?"
When this question was asked, everyone fell silent - wouldn't an ordinary armed merchant ship be courting death?
The violent energy encountered during daily voyages is enough to tear apart the defenses of an armed merchant ship.
As for "no connection anymore"...that goes without saying.
Everyone just wants an extra layer of insurance, not to question the other party's ability to survive here!
Everyone can be sure that the other team’s ability to warn and avoid danger is definitely stronger than their own!
Da Vinci couldn't help but ask, "You have communicated with us many times, but I haven't asked for your name yet?"
The nutrient pondered for a moment and replied, "Jing Yuexin!"
She gave out the name after careful consideration.
Previously, she used code names for nutritional supplements because team information needed to be kept confidential.
But now, as the team grows stronger and everyone knows about it, there is not much point in keeping it secret anymore.
The authorities have now confirmed that Dorgan is a member of Digital Phantom.
Nutrients doesn't want her to represent the team - this is an organization that the boss has built up!
That was why she changed into her favorite clothes before meeting Leonardo da Vinci and his group.
After enduring for so long, it's time to show up in front of everyone.
As for her properties in the empire? She believed that as long as the government was not crazy, they would never dare to act rashly.
Being serious may earn you some preferential treatment.
After she announced her name, the eyes of one of the supreme leaders lit up immediately, "It's you!"
"The one who reached the highest age and ranked in the top three in history...?"
Jing Yuexin has always been low-key, and not many stories about her are passed down in the empire, and people don't know much about her character.
But her fame is definitely not small, being in the top three in history... is enough!
When the Supreme Being said this, even Leonardo da Vinci remembered this name.
"I remember now, you should be... less than three hundred years old, right?"
The nutrient replied in a deep voice, "When the senior encountered the disaster, I was just over 200 years old!"
"I remember it too!" Another Supreme exclaimed, "It seems like you have found a master..."
"You can shut up now," the nutrient said coldly.
She was very clear that her master's image in the eyes of others was not particularly good - rather, a little weird.
She would not allow anyone to slander her master, and that Master Yi He should also be very concerned about this matter.
The Supreme being probably guessed what had happened, so he immediately kept silent.
"So..." Da Vinci nodded thoughtfully, then sighed, "Young people are really formidable."
He has been the Supreme for many years. He can sense the aura of the person in front of him, so he must have already reached the Supreme level a long time ago.
And now he could vaguely feel that the other party might pose a great threat to him.
In the era when he was trapped here, this woman should have only reached the highest level of cultivation.
Fifty years passed in a flash, and after escaping from the predicament, he suddenly discovered that the empire he was facing seemed to be a different one.
The nutrient still had a frosty look on her face. She asked calmly, "Do you still want the starship?"
Da Vinci shook his head. "It's not about the starship. We want to do something...even if it's just to help out."
"Our team has already gotten along very well," Jing Yuexin said, still expressionless, "Just rest and recuperate."
You don't even look down on me, the Supreme? Da Vinci was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "The name of your team..."
"Digital Phantom," Jing Yuexin said calmly, "There are our painted markings on the outside of the starship."
Everyone exchanged glances when they heard this, and shook their heads slightly - they had indeed never heard of this team.
It should have been established not long ago! Da Vinci made a judgment, and then asked, "Which military department does it belong to?"
(The Year of the Dragon, the Dragon Raises its Head, the fifth update is here, calling for monthly tickets.)
