In the small meeting room, the six members of Team Blue Bronze gathered together and entered the Mission Selection System of Occult Orbs Fellowship, discussing their upcoming missions.
The Mission Selection System of Occult Orbs Fellowship was similar to the War Mission System on the Cultivators' Nexus of the Heaven's Origin Sector.
In fact, the War Mission System was modeled after the Mission Selection System of Occult Orbs Fellowship.
Exploration of the Occult Orbs was not free, either.
Some of the Occult Orbs had cosmic storms, space turbulence, and stone belts between them and the Tian Yuan Realm. They could only be explored when everything was peaceful.
Some of the Occult Orbs were orbiting around the Tian Yuan Realm like comets. It would take decades for them to reach the orbit of the Tian Yuan Realm.
Some of the Occult Orbs had Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that could only be harvested once every hundred years. It would be useless to explore them at any other time.
Occult Orbs Fellowship had gathered a lot of the most excellent research-type and admin-type Cultivators of the Xing Yao Federation. They were responsible for monitoring and calculating the orbit, opening time, cost of teleportation, and safety of the Occult Orbs. In the end, the most suitable Occult Orbs for exploration would be selected, and the exploration plan and the contribution points would be drafted before they were sent to the system for the Star Teams to choose.
According to the latest assessment of Team Blue Bronze and the achievements of the previous explorations, the system had recommended three missions.
The first mission was to escort a research-type Cultivator to an Occult Orb, where a weird temple was discovered a thousand meters below the ground. Complicated runes were carved on the wall, which blocked the recording of all magical equipment. Therefore, the experts had to study the temple in person.
"Let's pass on this mission. Such missions are the most troublesome. Our team has just finished working together, and our style is more aggressive. It is not suitable for us to carry out such missions."
Hong Tong glanced around, including Li Yao. The other five members nodded their heads.
Protecting the experts was a common mission, because many Occult Orbs contained relics and mysteries that were beyond the understanding of common Cultivators. Many of them could not be brought back to the Tian Yuan Realm directly. Therefore, the experts of the Tian Yuan Realm had to be invited to study the Occult Orbs in person.
But unfortunately, most of the experts were research-type and culture-type Cultivators. Their combat ability was only slightly better than that of ordinary people. They would be a burden in the Occult Orbs. If they were in danger, the whole team would be dragged down.
Therefore, no matter how high the contribution points one could get from completing the mission, most Star Teams still didn't like to accept such missions unless they didn't have a better choice in the short term.
"The scale of the second mission is very large. Together with the other two teams, we are going to destroy a breeding base of the demon clan on an Occult Orb. According to the intelligence, the demon clan is planning to breed 'Gold Feather Magical Cat', a demon beast that went extinct twenty thousand years ago, using the natural blood pool on the Occult Orb. The contribution points are not small. What do you think? "
After a moment of careful observation, Mute Ba Weiqi shook his head.
"Let's take a look at the third mission. Although the contribution points required for this mission are very high, it's still not enough. However, the final distribution of contribution points would depend on battle achievements. The other two battle teams participating in this mission were both top-notch battle teams ranked in the top twenty of the Ranking of Stars. We've only just completed the run-in, so we might not be able to snatch it from them. "
"That makes sense. Let's look at the third one."
"The third mission is to go to the Mysterious Ice Star and collect the Nine Orifice Stone and its accompanying Spirit Melting Crystal. At the same time, explore the Mysterious Ice Star and clean up the ancient battlefield."
Everyone's eyes lit up. This kind of gathering and exploration type of mission did not have any hard and fast conditions. It was very flexible, which was most suitable for a battle team that had only just completed the run-in. The first mission.
Li Yao also focused his attention on the mission to the Mysterious Ice Star.
The Mysterious Ice Star was an Occult Orb that passed by the Heaven's Origin Planet every thirty-two years. Every time, a star shuttle would be launched to explore the Mysterious Ice Star.
The Mysterious Ice Star was very cold, but it boasted two precious Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, namely the Nine Orifice Stone and the Spirit Melting Crystal.
The Nine Orifice Stone itself was not very precious, but it was a very good additive. It could improve the hardness of thirty-seven kinds of alloys commonly seen in the Tian Yuan Realm by more than 0.7%.
The Spirit Melting Crystal, on the other hand, could be used to refine the Building Foundation Liquid, which could increase the success rate of the Building Foundation Stage by another 0.3%.
The Tian Yuan Realm produced a small amount of Nine Orifice Stone and Spirit Melting Crystal, too. But their quality was very low, and they were mixed with a lot of impurities. The cost of analyzing them was extremely high, and the output was low, too. Therefore, they were not worth developing on a large scale.
Mysterious Ice Star was one of the few Occult Orbs that boasted high-purity Nine Orifice Stone and Spirit Melting Crystal. The purity of the Nine Orifice Stone was so high that Cultivators of the Heaven's Origin Planet could use it for several years after several trips.
On the other hand, since the mother lodes of Mysterious Ice Star were so precious, human beings had already developed the planet on a large scale and established mining bases in the Star Ocean Imperium.
Because of that, the planet became an important military target, which attracted the attack of the demon army. Countless bloody battles had been fought over Mysterious Ice Star.
Therefore, Mysterious Ice Star was also an ancient battlefield, where a lot of ancient magical equipment and secret arts might be stored.
Occult Orbs Fellowship had discovered Mysterious Ice Star more than a hundred years ago. They had explored it three times and figured out the nature of Mysterious Ice Star. They had also mapped out part of the planet, but they had only explored 9% of the total area of Mysterious Ice Star.
Therefore, there were three missions to explore Mysterious Ice Star this time.
Firstly, collect as many Nine Orifice Stones and Spirit Melting Crystals as possible.
Secondly, explore Mysterious Ice Star. For every 1% of the map explored, a lot of contribution points would be awarded.
Thirdly, clean up the ancient battlefield and see if there were any ancient magical equipment and secret arts that were worth bringing back to the Tian Yuan Realm.
Such missions were almost impossible to fail. If the completion rate was not high, the contribution points would be lower. Therefore, they were most suitable for Team Blue Bronze's current situation.
"If everyone agrees, let's go to Mysterious Ice Star!"
Hong Tong glanced around with his big eyes.
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
"Agreed!"
Li Yao and Ding Ling Dong looked at each other and nodded at the same time. "Agreed!"
…
The next morning, Team Blue Bronze, who had been fully prepared, arrived at the 'Occult Orbs Exploration Center', which was fifty meters below the launch base.
They were quite lucky that no other team was competing with them for the mission of Mysterious Ice Star. Therefore, they passed the mission in the evening and received a lot of files and battle videos of the previous explorations.
After a whole night of studying, they were very confident about the mission and couldn't wait to try it.
Passing through a silver pathway, Li Yao's eyes were somewhat frozen by what he saw in front of him.
Next to the pathway was a tempered glass five meters long and fifty meters wide. Looking through the glass, Li Yao found that he was in a spacious room that was almost as large as a Flying Crystal Racing Field. Super large crystal processors that made Li Yao drool were displayed in the room.
He recognized several models of super large crystal processors, which were all of his dreams. He would be thrilled if he touched one of them.
However, those super large crystal processors were only the juniors in this place. The mainframe crystal processor at the center of the spacious room was as tall as a two-story building.
As a crystal processor fan, Li Yao had never even heard of one before, not to mention seeing one.
Inside the spacious room, hundreds of specialists wearing silver robes and brainwave enhancement magical equipment were working wholeheartedly.
The spiritual waves that they released congregated into surging tides. Despite the thick tempered glass, Li Yao's heart was beating faster. He couldn't help but feel solemn and solemn.
"Hundreds of research-type Cultivators?" Li Yao mumbled to himself.
"Yes. This is the Occult Orbs Exploration Center, which is responsible for the discovery of Occult Orbs, the calculation of orbits, the mapping of interstellar sailing routes, the construction of super teleportation arrays, and so on.
"What you see is just the tip of the iceberg. In the places you can't see, there are more research-type and admin-type Cultivators who are burning their lives and doing their best to build bridges to the center of the universe for the human beings of the Heaven's Origin Sector."
Captain Hong Tong said admiringly.
Li Yao took a deep breath. He stared at the slogan on the wall at the end of the spacious room.
Two lines of crimson slogans were burning his eyes.
"Find a way out for the human beings of the Heaven's Origin Sector. Bring hope to the Xing Yao Federation."
"Exactly …"
Li Yao took a deep breath. He smiled. His eyes were clearer and brighter than before. "The human beings of the Heaven's Origin Sector cannot be trapped in this small world forever. Let us Cultivators find a way out for you!"
He began to understand why Occult Orbs Fellowship had set up the exploration center in this place and why every Orb Patroller could see it.
There seemed to be an invisible burden on his shoulders.
But his footsteps were firmer and faster.
Soon, they reached the end of the passageway, and the passageway was divided into two sides: male and female.
Li Yao, Hong Tong, and the other three went into the room on the left, while Ding Ling Dong and Yan Yangtian went to the right.
In the room that was full of holes, everybody took off their clothes. They were disinfected first. Then, they were injected with a special strengthening drug through high-pressure atomization, which would keep their nerves in a highly active state for the next three days. They would be able to circulate their spiritual energy at a higher efficiency, which would make it easier for them to activate their best state. There would be fewer sequelae, too.
After that, four mechanical arms stamped quite a few seals on their bodies.
Li Yao lowered his head. Spiritual stripes that looked like surging flames were all over his body. They were so vivid that they seemed to have just been tattooed.
"This is a coat of arms."
Hong Tong explained, "Although it is not as effective as a real spiritual tattoo, and it can only last three to five days, it is quite convenient to use. It will take effect as soon as it is stamped. You can choose it according to the different combat environments.
"Mystic Glacier, where we are going, is a very cold combat environment. Therefore, if we stamped it with such a spiritual tattoo, it will increase the speed of blood circulation, lock the pores, and maintain the body temperature. If the spiritual tattoo is fully activated, even if you are walking on Mystic Glacier naked, you will be able to hold on for dozens of minutes until the rescue arrives.
