Chapter 306 Harvest
The first thing that catches the eye is two "small mountains" that almost touch the dome of the treasure vault!
It is a structure made of countless sharp-edged energy crystals, with a hazy glow flowing inside.
The energy fluctuations emitted by such a large number of energy crystals caused the surrounding air to distort slightly.
These energy crystals may not be priceless treasures individually, but they are a form of hard currency that transcends dimensional barriers.
It is extremely valuable whether used to replenish supplies, power facilities, or as a currency for transactions.
These crystals are extremely pure and have a huge internal energy capacity, far surpassing ordinary ones.
The other hill was even more captivating—it was composed of countless irregularly shaped crystals, with what appeared to be swirling mist inside, exuding a cool and alluring power that directly affected the soul.
A crystallization of the soul!
For a wizarding civilization that specializes in soul and spiritual power and extensively utilizes various constructs, elemental creatures, and modified cannon fodder, the value of soul crystals is even more exaggerated.
It can directly enhance mental strength cultivation, repair soul trauma, and is also a key material for creating high-level cannon fodder, construct cores, and even certain special magical artifacts.
Although the wizarding civilization has an extreme need for soul crystals, it rarely produces them on a large scale.
Because in the wizard's value system, a living being that can continuously generate value is far more meaningful than a soul crystallized after death.
Aside from interdimensional wars like the one currently taking place, where a large amount of scattered soul power can be naturally collected and condensed into crystals after fierce battles, only high-ranking wizards who control an entire plane have a stable channel to obtain it.
The small mountain of soul crystals before us is roughly estimated to be worth close to one hundred million military merits!
This is an enormous fortune that would drive any mid- to low-level wizard mad!
"hiss……"
Behind them came the sound of three level-three wizards gasping involuntarily.
Their eyes were fixed on the two small hills, especially the soul crystal, and their breathing was as heavy as bellows.
For those whose assets are generally only a few hundred thousand or a million military merits, the wealth of this treasure trove is enough to allow them to instantly pay off their huge debts and become "rich" among their peers, paving the way for future promotions!
Jemin's keen senses allowed him to clearly perceive the sudden, violent fluctuations in the mental energy of the three people behind him, as well as their eyes filled with struggle and greed.
He could even sense a slight, unstable restlessness in their spiritual energy.
The air seemed to freeze for a moment.
However, when their gazes inadvertently swept over the black giant standing beside Jemin like a black iron tower, radiating a level-five pressure and bone-chilling cold, the dangerous impulse that had just risen was quickly extinguished as if doused with ice water.
Reason regained its advantage.
To turn against a logistics wizard who can control level 5 elite cannon fodder and whose own methods are unknown, especially in this enclosed underground environment, is tantamount to courting death.
The fervor in their eyes quickly faded, replaced by a hint of helplessness and resignation, and they silently looked away.
Jemin nodded to himself.
This is the benefit of demonstrating power.
The Black Giant is not just a weapon, but also a silent deterrent that can save him a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Although he was not afraid, he was happy to have some peace and quiet.
Instead of immediately allocating the two most prominent crystal mountains, he turned his attention to the other areas of the treasure vault.
Besides these two hills of "hard currency," the treasure vault also contains a large number of rare materials of various shapes and sizes, including metal ingots, fossilized biological tissues, and unknown crystals that emit strange energy fluctuations.
Unfortunately, the wizarding civilization has only just begun its research into the material system of the Giant Spirit Realm, and it is not yet able to accurately determine the specific value and use of these materials.
What attracted the attention of Jemin and the other three wizards the most was the heavy bookshelves made of an unknown metal and some kind of leather-like material located at the deepest part of the vault!
The bookshelves were neatly stacked with books, some thick and some thin.
In a technologically advanced civilization like the Giant Spirit Realm, common knowledge must be stored in the virtual network.
In this case, it is still so solemnly collected in the form of a physical book and hidden in such a secret treasure trove...
The importance of the knowledge contained in these books is self-evident!
Upon seeing these books, the eyes of the four wizards, including Jemin, lit up.
For wizards who crave knowledge, this might be more appealing than those two crystal mountains!
The three wizards were eager to try, but their eyes were all on Jemin, waiting for this "hero" with the right to choose first to make his selection.
Jemin didn't procrastinate either.
He first walked to the pile of rare materials, activated his All-Seeing Eye, and various runes flashed continuously in his pupils.
Using his all-powerful eye to quickly scan the materials in front of him, Jemin soon selected some materials with unique energy reactions and complex structures that even he couldn't fully understand at the moment.
For Jemin, these unknown materials are of greater research value.
He then unceremoniously collected about one-third of the high-purity energy crystals and soul crystals, storing them within his body space.
Seeing that Jemin had made his choice, the remaining three wizards instantly broke into uncontrollable ecstasy.
Like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey, they swiftly and efficiently began to divide up the remaining resources in the treasure trove.
The two crystal mountains shrank at a visible rate, and various rare materials were categorized and loaded into the space equipment.
Finally, everyone's attention returned to those rows of bookshelves.
Knowledge is priceless, but its advantage lies in its ability to be shared.
A wizard quickly pulled a prismatic crystal from his robes; it was a Star Ring Federation-standard information collection terminal.
He carefully took the books off the shelf one by one and placed them under the terminal to scan.
The terminal emits a soft light, completely recording the text, patterns, and even the subtle information contained in the material itself on the pages.
This process will take a little time.
As expected, during this period, several more reckless natives of the Giant Spirit Realm attempted to break into the treasure vault using hidden short-range space jump devices to launch suicide attacks.
However, under the interference of the Black Giant's absolute power and the disordered temporal domain, these attackers were easily crushed before they could even get close.
The concealed spatial jump device they used was also destroyed by the Black Giant, cutting off the possibility of subsequent reinforcements arriving via the same route.
Soon, all the information about the books was completely entered into the terminal.
The three wizards were satisfied, their faces filled with sincere gratitude, and they thanked Jemin again.
If it weren't for Jieming's timely help and successful breaking of the seal, they wouldn't have gained anything, and their lives would have been in danger.
More importantly, they also had to thank Jemin for sparing their lives.
After all, no contract was signed between the two parties, and if Jemin wanted to keep it all for himself, he could have easily killed him to silence him.
