Flaming Python Sword (Ultima): 500/500 (second level)
Looking at the newly added Ultima, Wang Teng nodded with satisfaction. The 600 attribute points were enough to raise the Flaming Python Sword Ultima to the second level!
At this time, the attribute bubbles had all been collected. Only a short time had passed.
Round Ball did not appear, but its shocked voice was ringing in Wang Tengâs mind, âI didnât expect you to actually kill a celestial-stage martial warrior!
âItâs normal. Thereâs no need to praise me!â Wang Teng replied calmly.
Round Ball was at a loss for words. âCan you not be so thick-skinned?â
âIâm not. My skin is very thin.â Wang Teng snickered.
âScram!â Round Ball rolled its eyes. It would lose its temper because of Wang Tengâs shamelessness. It was done!
âWe should go.â Wang Teng stopped smiling.
Round Ball was taken aback, not expecting Wang Teng to switch so fast. He was still smiling just now, but he suddenly got serious that it was caught off guard.
âDo you still want the Olant Federationâs battlecraft?â Wang Teng asked.
âLetâs go up and have a look. A planetary-level battlecraft is not worth much. Besides, an Olant Federationâs battlecraft wouldnât be easy to sell. We can only see if we can dismantle any parts,â Round Ball replied.
Both of them then came to the battlecraft with bad intentions.
âLook.â Round Ball smirked. As an intelligent lifeform, it easily hacked into the main control room of the battlecraft.
âCan it be done?â Wang Teng asked.
âDonât worry. This battlecraftâs intelligent system is just a brat. Its level is much lower than mine. Dealing with it will be a piece of cake,â Round Ball said proudly.
Sure enough, in just a moment, the battlecraftâs hatch opened. Wang Teng stepped inside and came to the main control room with Round Ballâs guidance.
The main control room was not large and was much inferior to Wang Tengâs QY-E63 spacecraft. He took a quick glance and lost interest immediately.
âWait for a while. Iâll order the robots to dismantle the useful parts. Then, weâll see if thereâs anything good on this battlecraft,â Round Ball spoke while moving.
Suddenly, engineering robots walked out from the bottom of the battlecraft and dispersed to different sections. They then began to operate under Round Ballâs control.
These engineering robots were originally on the battlecraft. Their levels were not high and had average intelligence. Hence, they did not cost too much. However, they were diligent in performing their tasks assigned by the intelligence system. They were the best cheap labor available.
âHey, I found something good!â Round Ball suddenly said with surprise.
âWhat did you find?â Wang Teng was stunned and asked.
âCelestites!â Round Ball exclaimed.
âCelestites!â Wang Teng felt that the name was somewhat familiar.
âItâs a rare type of ore with wind attributes. A ton of this can be sold in the Great Qian Empire for 10 GQC!â Round Ball explained.
âOne ton for only 10 GQC.â Wang Teng looked at Round Ball speechlessly. He felt that it was making a mountain out of a molehill.
âOnly!â Round Ball glared at Wang Teng. âDo you even know what 10 GQC means?â
âThe Great Qian Empire is a high-tier civilization. 1 Great Qian Empire coin is equivalent to 1000 units of a medium-tier civilizationâs currency. And 1 unit of a medium-tier civilizationâs currency is worth 1000 units of a low-tier civilizationâs currencyâ¦â
Wang Tengâs eyes widened as he interrupted, âWhich means, 1 GQC is equivalent to a million Olant Federationâs currency?!â
âNow you know!â Round Ball wrapped its arms and chuckled.
âF**k!â Wang Teng cursed.
Although he knew that the gap between the three different tiers of civilization was huge, he didnât expect it to be this huge!
One unit of a high-tier civilizationâs currency was equivalent to a million units of a low-tier civilizationâs currency!
What kind of concept was this!
At that moment, Wang Teng suddenly remembered that he had obtained a lot of celestites from the dark apparitionâs military camp when he went on his first military mission.
However, the bad thing was that he had sold most of them and only left a little for himself. After all, those ores werenât useful for him, and it was better for them to be exchanged for money back then.
And he sold those celestites for a few billion of Earthâs coins. It wasnât even enough for Olant Federationâs currency.
He was fuming now that he thought about it!
âWhatâs wrong?â Round Ball couldnât help but take a few steps back. It asked carefully when it saw the scary look on his face.
âI have lost countless billions!â Wang Teng turned and walked away. âNo, I have to return to Earth!â
Round Ball was a little stunned and held him back frantically, âWhat are you doing? You finally came out, and now you want to go back? You must be crazy!â
âYou donât understand.â Wang Teng wanted to vomit blood in depression.
âWhat is going on exactly? Tell me, and Iâll see what we can do.â Round Ball was helpless. Sometimes, it thought that Wang Teng was very mature, unlike a young man in his twenties. Other times, he was childish and was like a big kid who made others speechless.
And Wang Teng said it.
Round Ball was also speechless after listening to it and kept lamenting, âWhat a waste, what a waste!â
âYeah, you would think so too. If I went back to get those celestites, I would have to spend hundreds of millions of coins. I wouldnât make a loss.â Wang Teng did his calculations.
He knew that if he was going to the Great Qian Empire, he would definitely need money. Now, he was just a poor man.
Wang Teng was like a country bumpkin carrying a thousand dollars in his pocket. Although he had earned quite a sum in the valleys, it wasnât even enough for a good meal in the big city.
Someone like him who was used to being wealthy on Earth would not be able to stand being a poor man.
Although Round Ball felt pity for him, it still stopped him and said quickly, âWe have no time to waste now. People from the Olant Federation will come soon. However, it seems that Earth does have many treasures now. The most important thing is to gain control of Earth so that you can develop it in the future. Donât be penny-wise and pound-foolish.â
Wang Teng wasnât stupid. He understood immediately and nodded. âYouâre right. I almost got my priorities wrong. Letâs obtain autonomous control of Earth first!â
âThatâs right!â Round Ball heaved a sigh of relief. âI have another piece of good news for you.â
âWhat good news?â
âI found the source of celestites from the battlecraftâs database,â Round Ball said mysteriously.
