Chapter 105 Old Friends
After all, Shi Lan, as a realm master recognized by the Law of Wind, was a perfect candidate for possession.
"You can give it a try. Just explain it to the teacher later, and he should understand."
Chen Yuan decided that he would talk to Shi Lan about this after leaving the secret realm, and if she agreed, he would try the possession ability.
"Now it's time to clean up the battlefield."
Because he hadn't had much time to spare during the battle, Chen Yuan let the bodies of the Fire Chasing Squad members fall into the canyon without looting any spoils.
Now is the perfect time, especially since Chen Yuan's spatial ring still has some time to be optimized and he urgently needs a replacement to store the energy crystals in the canyon.
Otherwise, if another group of people came and saw those crystals, it would inevitably cause trouble.
Chen Yuan then descended, and with a sweep of his mental power, he located the bodies of Clive and the others.
A moment later, ten spatial rings were neatly arranged in Chen Yuan's palm.
"Let me see if there's a surprise."
Chen Yuan examined each ring one by one and found that the internal space of these rings was not large, only about 10 cubic meters.
It contained some materials and cultivation resources that were useful to the Hengxing level, but the quality was quite ordinary, and Chen Yuan didn't care about them at all.
Finally, he looked at everyone else's ring except for Clive's, and there was nothing surprising about them. They only amounted to tens of millions of Black Dragon Coins in total.
He then opened the last ring.
"Wow, this space is quite large."
Clive's spatial ring has a capacity of about 10,000 cubic meters, which is quite large. It's not a problem to put that pile of energy crystals in there. Besides, Chen Yuan also discovered a pleasant surprise.
A B9-class mining robot.
"Sure enough, they've come looking for mineral deposits; they've even prepared their tools."
A hint of joy flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes. With professional equipment, he would finally no longer have to rely on the Azure Sky Sword to carve it out by hand.
Aside from that, there was nothing else of value in Clive's ring, probably worth two or three hundred million Black Dragon Coins.
He was slightly richer than his teammates, but only slightly.
No wonder they were greedy for that pile of energy crystals.
Chen Yuan felt that these people were doing quite poorly, but in reality, this was the norm in this world.
Wealth only concentrates in the hands of the strong; the stronger one is, the easier it is to earn more wealth.
Just like in the original work, among the immortal powerhouses, some poor immortals only have two or three hundred Chaos Yuan Units of wealth, while powerful immortals can easily obtain millions of Chaos Yuan Units, and those immortals at the top have wealth in the hundreds of millions.
This pattern also applies to Chen Yuan.
While some ordinary people at the planetary level are still earning tens of thousands of silver and blue coins a month, Chen Yuan easily earns over a billion universe coins in a single adventure. The difference between them is immeasurable.
Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Chen Yuan went to the pile of energy crystals in the canyon, raised his hand, and put all the mountain of crystals into Clive's spatial ring.
He then released the mining robot.
"Wind Spirit, take over the intelligence of the mining robot and begin digging the tunnel."
The wind sprite did not respond.
"I almost forgot, the shielding on the quantum computer hasn't been lifted yet."
Chen Yuan slapped his forehead and found the blocking device among the spoils of war, thus disabling the network block.
He then repeated the command.
"Yes, Master. The mining robot has been taken over and is now in operation to begin the excavation work."
This time, the wind sprite responded quickly.
Watching the mining robot with its robotic arm starting to work efficiently, Chen Yuan's thoughts drifted to the problem of the Wind Sprite.
This auxiliary AI was a quantum computer that the martial arts school rewarded him with when he was still on Earth.
Naturally, the quantum computer obtained as a reward was only a very basic product, and the level of auxiliary intelligence it contained was not high.
With Chen Yuan's current strength, the Wind Sprite's performance has begun to lag behind, after all, it is only a basic intelligence and is lacking in many aspects.
Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easily suppressed by a jammer.
If it were Luo Feng's Babata, he could easily control the other party's jammer and completely block their auxiliary intelligence.
Chen Yuan had never encountered this situation before, so he hadn't thought of upgrading the auxiliary intelligence.
In fact, as Chen Yuan's personal AI, the Wind Sprite's database contains a wealth of information about Chen Yuan, including secrets about the optimization system.
Chen Yuan's frequent optimization activities, while concealed from others, would certainly have left no trace in the face of the auxiliary AI.
Putting aside everything else, his act of extracting optimized items from the panel must have been recorded by the wind spirit.
Therefore, optimizing assistive intelligence is urgently needed; otherwise, we were lucky this time and only encountered signal blocking.
If they encounter a smart hacker next time who steals the Wind Spirit's database and exposes Chen Yuan's secret, things will get complicated.
"After we finish mining the cosmic crystals, let's optimize the wind spirit."
Having used it for so long, Chen Yuan, being a sentimental person, wasn't prepared to give up the Wind Spirit.
Anyway, he has a lot of kill points now, so he can just optimize it a few more times.
And so time passed as Chen Yuan waited.
The efficiency of the mining robot far exceeded Chen Yuan's expectations. The robotic arm worked precisely and tirelessly, much faster than Chen Yuan could slash with his sword.
Two hours later, Chen Yuan's ring was optimized, and its interior was expanded into a huge space with a length, width, and height of one kilometer.
If used to store cosmic crystals, it can hold a full billion cubic meters, which is more than enough for this trip to the secret realm.
Another hour passed, and the mining robot arrived at the location where the cosmic crystals were stored—7600 meters underground.
The robot then began its work, and Chen Yuan took the opportunity to go to the bottom of the passage and put the divided cosmic crystal into his space through the ring.
Three hours later, Chen Yuan swept away all the underground cosmic crystals, reaping a total of 216 million cubic meters!
At this point, Chen Yuan had collected an astonishing 334 million cubic meters of cosmic crystals in the secret realm, which, converted to cosmic currency, is equivalent to 33.4...
100 million.
Chen Yuan was very satisfied.
The mining robot was then retrieved and the team left the underground mine.
"By the way, I wonder if I've completed my training mission yet."
Chen Yuan suddenly remembered this and checked it. He saw that the display showed: Experience Points: 10087 points.
"That's enough."
Chen Yuan felt relieved; without the pressure of the mission, he could go wherever he wanted.
Having tasted the sweetness of sudden wealth twice, Chen Yuan naturally decided to strike while the iron was hot.
After sending the Wind Sprite to the optimization panel, Chen Yuan took out his spare auxiliary computer.
The moment the map unfolded, his gaze immediately locked onto the nearest large crystal beast settlement.
"Next target" A flash of blue light, and Chen Yuan's figure disappeared from the spot. An hour later, Chen Yuan arrived at his destination, which was a grassland. According to the map, it belonged to a large settlement - Qingniu Plain.
Unfortunately, Chen Yuan arrived too late.
When he arrived above the Azure Ox Plain, a fierce battle was raging across the grassland, with at least a hundred star-level elites hunting down the crystal beast "Azure Ox".
Chen Yuan's figure was quickly noticed by the crowd below. A seventh-level martial artist, dressed in a light purple battle suit, flew into the sky and called out to him:
"Friend, Qingniu Plain has been occupied by ten squads led by the Purple Flower Society."
"If you wish to hunt crystal beasts, please go elsewhere."
"Wait, you're only a planetary level?!"
The warrior in purple armor suddenly realized Chen Yuan's strength and was immediately shocked, seemingly not expecting that a planetary-level warrior would dare to come to a large settlement.
Chen Yuan smiled and said without explaining, "I understand. I'll be going now."
Having said that, he didn't waste any time and flew away.
Time was of the essence; he had lingered too long in Canglang Ridge, and now a large number of people were pouring into the secret realm.
Even large settlements have begun to be targeted.
An hour and a half later, Chen Yuan arrived at the second large settlement—Longze Bay, where a type of crystal crocodile was abundant.
Unfortunately, this place is still occupied, with about seventy Eternal Stars hunting here.
Shaking his head, Chen Yuan left without waiting for anyone to chase him away.
"It seems that even large settlements are being targeted."
Chen Yuan sighed slightly: "Never mind, I've already completed my training mission, so I don't necessarily have to stay."
"Find another large settlement; if it's also occupied, then leave the secret realm."
"It's better to go back to cultivate sooner rather than continue wasting time here."
Having made up his mind, Chen Yuan quickly arrived at the third large settlement—Xuanhe Mountain, a region where a large number of crystal cranes gathered.
Unfortunately, when Chen Yuan arrived, Xuanhe Mountain was completely empty.
"Never mind, let's go."
Shaking his head slightly, Chen Yuan prepared to leave.
Just then, a loud noise came from inside Xuanhe Mountain.
"Um?"
Chen Yuan slightly turned his gaze and saw a white figure crash through the rock wall and fall like a kite with a broken string.
What concerned Chen Yuan was that he actually recognized that white-clad figure, and had even fought with him before.
That was Kasumi, a girl who was also a planetary-level elite.
