One minute later, Lin Yun arrived at the second destination.

Release the lion cubs to begin assessing the resources here.

Because the area was small, the little lion was able to quickly ascertain the resources available there.

"Resources worth only a few hundred thousand spirit crystals?"

Lin Yun frowned at first, then relaxed.

The resources inside this asteroid are actually quite plentiful, and there are also some rare resources. However, this asteroid is much smaller than the previous one, which is why it has so few resources.

Although one has a diameter of 30 to 40 kilometers and the other has a diameter of 20 to 30 kilometers, their volumes actually differ by about three times.

Lin Yun originally planned to have the collection equipment gather resources here, and then he would look at other asteroids, preferably to buy another collection device, and then collect resources from two or even three places at the same time.

However, given the current situation, it's best to postpone it for now.

The resources in this place are worth over 100,000 spiritual crystals.

He spent 20,000 spirit crystals to teleport here. The next destination is even farther away. If he has to go back and forth a few more times, the resources he collected at this destination will be wasted.

Anyway, collecting data at this target location only takes a few dozen minutes.

Let's wait here a little longer.

The model he envisioned might work, but it's not suitable for this particular target location.

However, although this mode cannot be implemented, he can buy another set of data acquisition equipment now.

Anyway, he'll have to buy it sooner or later, so the sooner he buys it, the sooner he can use it.

With that in mind, Lin Yun began purchasing acquisition equipment on the Cosmic Trading System.

It was the same shop as before, but Lin Yun also haggled with the seller. In the end, the seller gave him a discount of 30,000 spirit crystals, and he bought it for 770,000 spirit crystals.

The acquisition efficiency of this device is more than twice that of the current acquisition device.

"Buzz—"

One minute later, a spatial fluctuation came from Lin Yun's trading space, and a steel "beast" appeared in the trading space. It was the collection device that the shop owner had sent over.

Lin Yun waved his hand and released it.

"Boom—"

The data acquisition device started working immediately. It has to be said that you get what you pay for. It is indeed twice as good as the previous device, and its data acquisition efficiency is more than double that of the previous device.

The previous device indicated that the data collection would take approximately fifty minutes.

As a result, in less than twenty minutes, the two data collection devices had completely collected all the resources at the target location.

"A resource of 180,000 spiritual crystals, not bad..."

Looking at his gains in the trading space, Lin Yun smiled slightly.

He put some of these resources up for sale on the cosmic trading system, and kept the rest because they were mostly needed for his production.

He handled all the previously collected resources in the same way.

Lin Yun had already chosen the third destination, which was about 900,000 kilometers away from them.

Speaking of this distance, it is not constant, because each small celestial body is moving rapidly. Some have fixed trajectories, while others are just passing by. It is best not to go up to collect resources from the small celestial bodies that are just passing by.

Otherwise, by the time you've collected all the resources, it might not take you anywhere.

If Lin Yun had a spaceship, he could take it back, which wouldn't cost much.

However, he had Xingyi teleport them. If they were farther away from Earth, it would mean they would need more energy to get back. In the end, it is very likely that his gains would not even be as much as the spiritual crystals Xingyi needed to teleport them back to their original location.

One minute later, Lin Yun and his two companions arrived at their third destination.

This asteroid is also over thirty kilometers in diameter.

Half an hour later, the two collection devices had exhausted the resources in this area, and Lin Yun obtained resources worth more than 300,000 Spirit Crystals.

"No...something's not right...resources in the universe aren't so easy to obtain."

"Even if I had Star One with teleportation capabilities, making my travel speed faster, my resource gathering speed couldn't possibly be this fast..."

“Besides the moon, in less than a day I obtained resources worth over a million spirit crystals. If it were like this everywhere, then many owners of the universe trading system wouldn’t be so poor…”

Lin Yun began to shake his head repeatedly.

He was referring to Xinglan's situation.

So far, he has selected three asteroids with diameters ranging from 20 to 40 kilometers, and on each asteroid he has obtained resources worth more than 100,000 spiritual crystals.

Even the lowest valued one was worth 180,000 spirit crystals, while the other two were worth over 300,000 and 600,000 spirit crystals respectively.

What about Star Blue?

Xinglan traveled through the universe for several months and discovered at least dozens of asteroids of this size, and even some larger ones. The most she found was only a few hundred thousand spiritual crystals.

Most of the other resources are worth tens to thousands of spirit crystals. If you can find resources worth tens of thousands of spirit crystals, that's already pretty good.

According to Xinglan, those asteroids that yield tens of thousands of spiritual crystals in a single harvest are rare celestial bodies in the universe. Such rare celestial bodies are extremely rare and hard to come by.

Lin Yun had checked and found that most owners of the cosmic trading system did the same thing when traveling in space.

If they encounter a small celestial body from which they can obtain more than 100,000 spiritual crystal resources, they will be extremely lucky, and this is something to be very grateful for.

He had three strokes of incredible luck right after he started his space voyage?

This is abnormal, extremely abnormal.

"Could it be that the area around Earth is also rich in resources?"

Lin Yun's heart stirred, and he began to think excitedly.

Not only on one planet are there resource-rich places, but also in different parts of the universe with different environments.

Just like some galaxies are filled with spatial turbulence.

In some cases, an entire galaxy is rich in resources, with many planets and celestial bodies possessing abundant resources. Such occurrences are not uncommon in the universe.

The cosmic trading system has recorded many such cases; it can only be said that every explorer who ventured into such a galaxy made a fortune.

Among them is the story of a powerful civilization, a cultivation civilization. When the strong members of that cultivation civilization left their planet and entered the starry sky, they discovered that they had entered a world with richer resources. This cultivation civilization quickly entered a period of rapid development, which became unstoppable, and eventually became famous throughout the entire universe.

Could it be that the galaxy Earth is in is also in this situation?

This conclusion greatly excited Lin Yun.

If that's the case, then he'll be rich.

He possesses a cosmic trading system. If Earth's star system is such a system, he can quickly convert them into power. At that time, let alone a fleet from a fourth-level civilization invading, even a fleet from a fifth-level civilization, if it dares to invade, he can utterly defeat it.

However, in that case, he also needs to develop his business more quickly.

If the enemy invades before he has even developed his capabilities, that would be a real problem.

Furthermore, if the other party is no match for him, spreading the word about what happened here could attract powerful civilizations or top experts.

He could imagine the uproar that a resource-rich galaxy, combined with the superior qualities of Earth's humans, would cause in the universe.

If he cannot quickly become stronger, he will likely find it difficult to cope with this crisis.

Thinking this, Lin Yun's mood became even more solemn.

Good fortune may be a harbinger of misfortune, and misfortune may be a harbinger of good fortune.

Whether the current state of the Earth is a blessing or a curse will only be known in the end.
