"I knew you guys would definitely follow me. If I make a move here, I won't get into any trouble." Grai looked at them with a faint smile on his face.
"Heh, this brat knows about this?" The little hoodlum's thoughts had yet to change, and his tone carried traces of lust. "Your looks aren't bad. If you're good enough, I'll spare your life today. How about you follow me? I guarantee you'll have a good life … "
Before he could finish his sentence, a cold glint suddenly flashed in front of the trio. It was as if a video had been paused, and the smiles on their faces instantly stiffened. Their bodies seemed to have been frozen in place.
Patting the dust off his body, Grai slowly walked out from under the gazes of the trio.
"Trash. You're not worthy of wasting precious survival resources."
A faint voice floated out from the end of the alley. Like a death knell, the three 'frozen' bodies instantly shattered. It was as if they had been sliced by a laser, flesh and blood splattering all over the ground!
Wang Zhong had also finished his training for the day. Everyone's coordination was getting better and better. Even Hymin felt that Tianjing Academy had a bright future ahead of them. However, Wang Zhong felt that it was insufficient. Coordination would increase their chances of victory, but Scarlet was the key to ending this match. He needed to improve her special ability. With her and Grai in front and him in the middle, Tianjing would have the strength to fight. Returning to his dormitory, Wang Zhong immediately entered his consciousness. This time, he didn't feel the clear coordinates of the sea of fire.
"If we can't enter, let's go play somewhere else. Wang Zhong, it wasn't easy for me to come out. Yesterday, I had to accompany you and suffer such a huge fright. You have to let me breathe some fresh air!" Simba hurriedly replied. During this period of time, he was either in deep sleep or being burned to death. Simba was already reminiscing about Mu Zi, Ham Sausage, and the rest. It was a pity that a small problem had cropped up on Mu Zi and Aioros's side when they had agreed on a time to contact each other. They were unable to enter the Dimensional World as frequently as Wang Zhong. Even now, the three of them had yet to meet. "Oh, right. Where were you planning to bring me yesterday?"
"The Vajra Explorer Base. It just so happens that I want to buy something."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!" Simba said excitedly.
With his registered identity as a guide, the coordinates of the Vajra Explorer Base were incomparably eye-catching in his sea of consciousness. When Wang Zhong descended with his clown mask on, he immediately sensed the abnormal state of the base.
The round platform, which had been quite lively the last time he arrived, was now empty except for his figure. There were quite a few staff members there, and they were obviously stunned when they saw someone coming over.
A first lieutenant with one bar and two stars on his shoulder quickly ran over. When he saw the face with the clown mask on, the first lieutenant's expression changed from shock to respect. He stood at attention and saluted. "Esteemed Fate Master, how may I be of service?"
Wang Zhong looked at the empty surroundings. "Did something happen in the base?"
"You didn't know?" The lieutenant was a little surprised.
Wang Zhong furrowed his eyebrows.
The lieutenant immediately realized who he was talking to and hurriedly explained everything that had happened.
As it turned out, an intense dimensional storm had appeared in the vicinity of the base yesterday, causing the nearby bases to be caught unprepared.
Including the Vajra Explorer Base, the Silver Wolf Explorer Base, the Heaven's Fate Explorer Base and the other four, the spatial passageways that were responsible for transporting soldiers had been damaged to varying degrees due to the storm. This resulted in the disappearance of nearly a hundred Heroic Soul soldiers who were in the midst of the transmission. The chances of them surviving were extremely low, and the fifteen nearby exploration bases were forced to close their spatial passageways. Although the Federation had already sent people to investigate, they definitely wouldn't dare to open the spatial passageways again before the results were out.
Feeling slightly helpless, the lieutenant said, "It's not just the Vajra Explorer Base. The fifteen nearby exploration bases have all closed their spatial passageways. Naturally, there's no one here at the transmission platform. Esteemed Fate Master, you're probably the only guest in the nearby exploration bases."
So that's what had happened. Wang Zhong remembered that when the fiery vortex had started wreaking havoc, he had faintly seen quite a few figures being pulled over from the void by the terrifying power of the vortex. In fact, he was one of the people that had been dragged over. It was just that he was relatively lucky and didn't lose his life. It was a pity for those Federation soldiers. Those that were able to enter the hyperdimension through the Federation's spatial passageway were undoubtedly the elites of the Federation. Yet, due to this natural disaster, they didn't even have the chance to scream out in pain before their deaths.
The Federation soldiers that had entered the hyperdimension through the spatial passageway weren't like him and Aiolos. Those soldiers had come here with their fleshly bodies. If they were to die here, there was absolutely no chance of revival.
Sighing inwardly, Wang Zhong could only pray for their good luck. On the surface, he gave an indifferent nod and said, "I'm here to exchange some items. Bring me to the military supply department."
Although the spatial passageway had been sealed, and even the entrance and exit of the base had been sealed, one could see that there wasn't any panic within the exploration base.
Those that were able to enter this place were the elites of the elites of the Federation. They had seen far too many terrible situations, yet this place was merely sealed.
An exploration base was constantly undergoing construction, construction, expansion, and consolidation at every step. Other than the necessary missions within the base, the majority of the people within the base would have endless matters to attend to. Compared to those who had descended with their souls, these elite soldiers that had been sent here with their fleshly bodies through the spatial passageway had the greatest advantage, and that was that there was no time limit for them to stay in the hyperdimension. As long as they wanted to, they could even spend the rest of their lives in the hyperdimension.
At this moment, the campsite was still brimming with life, with everyone hurrying about with their own matters.
Under the lead of the lieutenant, Wang Zhong quickly arrived at the judgement hall. From afar, he could see Dise Musk walking out to welcome him.
"Esteemed Fate Master, you're a rare guest! Welcome, welcome!" Dice Musk was rather enthusiastic. Although he hadn't managed to purchase the Golden Stone Slab previously, he had still managed to get the Stuart Clan and Darwin to owe him a favour. To Dice Musk, this was already a pretty good result. Furthermore, since the Fate Master was able to conquer an S rank pyramid and obtain the Golden Stone Slab, he might be able to do so a second or even a third time. Such a person was definitely worth Wang Zhong making friends with. "There's been a small change in the hyperdimension, causing us to temporarily seal off the base. Naturally, the interior of the base is still operating as per normal. Haha. I hope that it won't affect your shopping mood."
"It's alright." The Fate Master's personality was no different from before. Hidden behind the vivid clown mask, not much of an expression could be seen on his face.
"It's rare for you to make a special trip here. As a small token of my respect, I'll put everything you've bought today on my tab!" Dise Musk laughed heartily, not afraid of the other party asking for an exorbitant price. He didn't care about the ordinary military supplies in the explorers' base, as the Musk Family didn't lack money. Since Darwin wasn't on duty today, this was undoubtedly a good opportunity for him to improve his relationship with the Fate Master. "Please follow me!"
The place to exchange for items was the military supply department. Different departments within the judgement hall had their own offices, with many people entering and exiting from each department. There was a long queue in the hall, but this was clearly not something Wang Zhong needed to care about. With the halo of a 6 star explorer and Dise Musk personally leading the way, crowds of people would disperse wherever they went. Wang Zhong was directly invited to the VIP room of the military supply department.
Unlike the complicated procedures outside, the rules here were much simpler. There was an operating screen in front of a comfortable sofa, with detailed information on the various categories of items. Under Dise Musk's instructions, a beautiful uniformed woman took charge of the job of introducing the items to Wang Zhong. "The items in the military supply department are separated by ranks. Other than the expenditure of military contribution points, the higher the rank of an explorer, the rarer the items they can exchange for. However, you don't have to worry about this. As a 6 star explorer, you basically have the qualifications to exchange for everything in the military supply department. You can choose the items you need here. When the time comes, you can directly pass the list to me. I'll calculate the expenditure of military contribution points, and will be responsible for all matters related to the exchange. "
Being able to work here meant that the woman definitely wasn't simple. Not only did she possess good looks and strength, she might even be the successor of some small aristocratic family. Nevertheless, she had to restrain her curiosity, as the person before her was a legendary 6 star explorer.
Nodding his head, Wang Zhong proceeded to operate the information screen under the enthusiastic introduction of the other party and the accompaniment of Dise Musk.
From the looks of it, the resources in the Diamond Stronghold appeared to be rather plentiful, with the database containing dozens of categories. Many items that were rarely seen on Earth could be found everywhere here, including various types of medicines, items, weapons, runic patterns, etc. Basically, everything that one could think of was here.
Therefore, the scarcity of resources was always relative. Naturally, all of these resources belonged to the Federation, and not any individual aristocratic family.
A sparkling and translucent deep blue rhombus-shaped pendant made from a 3A grade frozen dimensional crystal attracted Wang Zhong's attention. Strung on a sparkling platinum chain, it was extremely beautiful. Although it wasn't extravagant, this dimensional crystal was extremely practical, and was sufficient for Scarlet to use until she reached the Heroic Soul Stage.
If this was on Earth, such an exquisite necklace made from a frozen dimensional crystal with runic patterns engraved on it would cost at least several tens of millions of dollars, and there would definitely be no market for it. However, here, it only required 900 military contribution points. Naturally, from Wang Zhong's point of view, a mere 900 points was something that many people wouldn't be able to obtain in their entire lifetimes.
What's more, Dise Musk was footing the bill, so he basically didn't feel the slightest bit of heartache.
Wang Zhong also took a look at the other items. There wasn't much that he could use, mainly due to the difference in his cultivation methods. In terms of Soul Power, he had already reached the limits of the Casted Soul Stage. As for his special ability, he had his own effective and unique methods, so he didn't need any external help to supplement it. As for medicines that could cross ranks, Wang Zhong had always believed that relying on one's own down-to-earth cultivation was the true foundation. Using external help to increase one's strength, especially for medicines. Regardless of how well others described them, all medicines were 30% poisonous, and there would always be some side effects. Therefore, he was determined not to touch them. Wang Zhong had always felt that if he relied on medicines to break through, he would definitely fall due to them in the future.
Seeing that the Fate Master had only chosen a mere ice crystal necklace, a few hints of respect appeared in Musk's eyes. Despite knowing that the Fate Master definitely wouldn't care about such a small thing with his strength, he only chose a necklace as a symbol. There was really no need to say anything about his character. After sending the uniformed beauty to the military warehouse to retrieve the necklace, Musk brought Wang Zhong around to tour the entire Judgement Hall.
It was mainly made up of 5 departments, namely the Registration Department, Missions Department, Military Supply Department, Surveillance Department, and Transmission Department. These 5 simple departments seemed to encompass all the elements required for the operation of the entire base.
From the looks of it, the Fate Master didn't really care much about the operations of the base. While introducing the place, Musk smiled and changed the topic. "The dimensional storm this time has affected an extremely large area, and the intensity of its effects are extremely rare. Seven spatial passageways have been destroyed, and close to a hundred outstanding Federation soldiers have gone missing. This is a huge loss. Furthermore, the 15 exploration bases in the vicinity have been forced to shut down. Before the Federation sends back the results of their investigations, I'm afraid that they won't be able to return to normal operations. The few exploration plans of the bases have no choice but to be shelved. It's said that it was caused by a 9th rank flame type life form. I don't know if there will be any more disturbances in the future. "
The dimensional energy disturbances were similar to the earthquakes and typhoons of the previous civilizations, and were completely unstoppable by human strength. In the Dimensional World, other than the beast horde, such energy disturbances had the greatest impact on bases.
Wang Zhong shot a look at Musk. "The energy disturbances have ended. The peak 9th rank Sovereign of Flames has withstood the Heavenly Tribulation and has reincarnated."
After saying that, Wang Zhong ignored Musk and left, leaving behind a dumbfounded expression on Musk's face. Although it was just a single sentence, it contained a lot of crucial information. With the energy disturbances over, there was no longer a need for the various bases to be on lockdown. Peak 9th rank, Sovereign of Flames, dimensional Heavenly Tribulation, reincarnation …
Exactly who was this person …
Truthfully speaking, Musk was unable to see the strength of the Fate Master. Admittedly, he had the halo of an S rank pyramid mission, but no one could tell if he was the Fate Master, or if he was a powerful influence. The main thing was that the Fate Master's Spiritual Soul fluctuations were slightly strange, as though they weren't as tyrannical as ordinary Spiritual Souls. However, it was precisely because of this that Musk didn't dare to underestimate the Fate Master.
His cautiousness was the right thing to do. It was said that those lucky survivors of the flame type life form had said that they saw a person confronting the Sovereign of Flames within the flames …
Confrontation … this was a confrontation between a mighty life form that could kill everything in a matter of seconds …
Could that person be the Fate Master?
Musk didn't know. However, if it wasn't that person, who would know the true situation? In fact, he even knew about the matter of the Sovereign of Flames' reincarnation.
Musk felt that he was too smart, as he had once again obtained first-hand secret information. Fortunately, Darwin wasn't present, as this information belonged solely to the Musk Family. The Musk Family was ranked as one of the lower 5 families. Although they appeared to be powerful, regardless of the younger generation or the peak generation, they lacked a leading figure. Wealth and strength had to be proportionate.
Perhaps, he should discuss this with his family.
A mysterious existence that could break through an S rank pyramid and confront the Sovereign of Flames.
