It was a piece of pink gelatinous material as thick as a brick, densely covered with light blue hair-like filaments. These filaments moved like seaweed in the water, stretching and swaying slowly.
Ye Chong suddenly remembered that he had found something similar to this in Kui's base on Spectre. However, he never had the time to investigate what it was for. Today, Ye Chong found something that looked exactly the same, and it immediately caught his attention.
The filaments on the pink gelatinous material belonged to a fungus that Ye Chong had never seen before. Logically speaking, with Lunatic Guan's knowledge, there were very few fungus species that Ye Chong did not know. This blue fungus must be one of the rarest. Ye Chong knew that Lunatic Guan's chip had recorded all the things that he thought were rare. However, this light blue fungus was not recorded in the chip, which showed how rare it was.
However, the universe was vast, and it was not a big deal to have a few fungus species that Lunatic Guan had never seen before. Ye Chong did not think too much about it at the time. The pink gelatinous material was placed in a corner with a bunch of miscellaneous items, covered in dust. It was obvious that the Research Consortium did not value it much. If it were not for the unique shape of the fungus, Ye Chong would not even remember that Celest had such a thing in its pocket.
However, he found a piece of pink gelatinous material in Su City that looked exactly like the one he had, and the fungus on it was also the same. If it was just one of the two, he would not be surprised, but the fact that the gelatinous material and the fungus were exactly the same was surprising. Besides, these rare fungus species were very demanding on their environment. They usually grew in special terrains.
Ye Chong did not know how this one was related to the one he had.
Ye Chong studied the bearded man. His hands were covered in a thick layer of calluses, the result of long periods of practice with firearms. His eyes were also very serious. Ye Chong guessed that he was a shooter at least at Level 6.
Ye Chong squeezed his way to the bearded man's stall and picked up the pink gelatinous material. He studied it closely, and confirmed that it was exactly the same as the one he had. Ye Chong suspected that they came from the same place.
"What is this?" Ye Chong asked.
The bearded man looked up at Ye Chong. Ye Chong was covered in a grey cloak, and could not be seen. Big Beardy shook his head. "I don't know either."
"You don't know?" Ye Chong lifted his head in surprise. "Then where did you get this?"
"My father brought it back from the depths of Darkniss. But that time, he was seriously injured and passed away not long after he came back. "Big Beard's voice was low.
"Darkniss?" Ye Chong was shocked. He did not expect the gelatin to be from Darkniss. If this was from Darkniss, where did the one in the Research Consortium's base come from? These two pieces of gelatin were exactly the same, so it was obvious that they came from the same place. Ye Chong was not sure if it was artificially cultivated or natural. If it was really from the depths of Darkniss, then it was more likely to be natural.
Ye Chong thought of another problem. He had been transported from the Research Consortium's base to this strange planet. Could it be that the Research Consortium's base has some kind of unique connection with this planet?
Big Beard looked at the hooded man before him, holding the pink gelatin in his hand, deep in thought. Big Beardy's eyes lit up. His father brought this back from Darkniss when he was young. His father could not hold on much longer and passed away. His father did not even get to tell him what it was. After that, Big Beardy kept searching for it, trying to find out what it was, but no one knew. After all these years, this strange thing was still the same as when he first saw it. However, he was no longer interested in it.
Now that he was a Level 7 shooter, he wanted to trade for a better weapon. Ever since he became a Level 7 shooter, he had been to Darkniss a few times. However, he had only been to the outer regions. Aircrafts could not pass through the Desert or the Mist. Therefore, it was important to have a suitable weapon.
Over the years, he had been to Darkniss several times, and had found something useful. This time, he took advantage of the weaponsmithing competition to bring back all his valuables, hoping to trade for a decent laser gun. He did not expect someone to be interested in this thing. However, from the way the man spoke, he did not seem to know what it was either.
Big Beard's disappointment was evident on his face.
"Are you selling this?" Ye Chong asked.
"Only for trade. I want a laser gun, at least 4 million Lux."
Ye Chong traded a laser gun he made himself for the gelatin. Big Beard was satisfied with the result. He knew how valuable the laser gun was. Even a normal laser gun with 4 million Lux could be very different from one made by a master. That was why shooters who could afford it would hire a weaponsmith to make a custom laser gun.
After the trade, Ye Chong did not see anything else that caught his attention. However, in his opinion, the rewards he had gained today were undoubtedly enormous.
Back at the manor, he found the gelatin fungus from the Research Consortium's base and compared it. Other than the size and shape, the two looked exactly the same. Ye Chong immediately checked the chip, hoping to find out where the gelatin fungus from the Research Consortium's base came from, but to no avail.
The red-tailed beasts, the black sphere from the Research Consortium, the two identical gelatin fungus, one in the corner of the base, the other in the depths of Darkniss, and the fact that he had somehow ended up on this foreign planet. Ye Chong placed all the incidents in front of him, and found that there seemed to be an indistinct clue that connected everything together.
However, Ye Chong could not grasp the clue.
There were too many mysteries before him. Everything seemed to point to Darkniss.
Could it be that entering Darkniss was the only way to solve all the mysteries? Ye Chong looked at the young men training hard on the holographic screen, and dismissed the idea. It would be too dangerous for him to go in alone. It was still too early for the young men to form a fighting force. He could not rush it.
However, what if he just went in to investigate?
Ye Chong suddenly thought that it was a good idea. Everything he knew about Darkniss came from someone else. Without direct knowledge, it would be difficult for him to make the right decision. Bringing so many people along was a very dangerous thing to do.
Ye Chong thought about it. If he were to go to Darkniss, he would not be able to do it alone. Without a guide, he would not even know where Darkniss was. Well, Sha Ya could bring him. She was experienced, but it would be too weak to go alone. Hmm, he wondered if Xuan Ning would be willing. What would be the chances of success if he traded a good laser gun?
Sha Ya had been deep in thought for the past few days. Ever since Ye Chong told her the details of his battle with Xuan Ning, Sha Ya had fallen into this state.
Ye Chong understood this. He had been like this before, so he was not surprised. He knew that now was not the time to disturb her.
Ye Chong made up his mind and went to the training ground to check on the young men's training. He was satisfied with the results. Liao San was very enthusiastic about training the new recruits. Although these young men looked tanned and had red spots on their faces due to exposure to the sun, they were all full of vigor. Even the young nobles seemed to have been reborn. Their spirit and appearance were not the same as before.
What surprised Ye Chong the most was the two female squads supervised by Gui Gui. Their usual beauty could not withstand the damage. They now looked exactly like the men. Only Shu Mo 'er and her sister did not change much. Their faces were as white as before. Shu Mo 'er looked at Ye Chong coldly, while Shu Man' er's eyes were filled with shock and fear.
Ye Chong only looked at them for a second. To him, results were the only thing that mattered. He didn't care about their hatred towards him.
After briefing them on the upcoming training, Ye Chong went straight to Su City. Ye Chong was piloting a normal Butterfly-3, a very common model. Piloting the aircraft required parapsychic control over the trackball. He did not have parapsychic control, but it was not a problem for him.
In fact, other than the appearance of the Butterfly-3, Ye Chong had replaced almost all the parts in the aircraft. Ye Chong abandoned the trackball, and replaced it with a control stick like the Collision mech. The engine was also modified, so it was much faster than the normal Butterfly-3.
The aircraft was only used as a means of transportation. The distance between Su City and Ye Chong's manor was not a short distance.
"You're looking for Xuan Ning?" Sun Sieha was surprised. He looked at Ye Chong, trying to figure out what Ye Chong was planning.
Ye Chong nodded. "Yes." He did not know where Xuan Ning's house was, so he had to use this method.
Sun Sieha turned and ordered, "Have Xuan Ning come to my study." A guard immediately went out.
Sun Sieha turned back and studied Ye Chong from head to toe. He spoke slowly, "You've caused me a lot of trouble this time. Hmm, the exhibition match ended like that. Don't you know that you almost killed Xuan Ning?"
Ye Chong looked calm. "I told you, I only know how to fight."
"It's fine." Sun Sieha waved his hand. "I won't hold it against you. Xuan Ning's death was a blessing in disguise. A Level 9 shooter, hehe, Eastern Cloud finally has a Level 9 shooter."
Xuan Ning entered Sun Sieha's study. He was surprised to see Ye Chong there.
"Your Majesty." Xuan Ning bowed respectfully to Sun Sieha.
Sun Sieha smiled. "How many times have I told you, no need to stand on ceremony? Hmm, Master Ye is looking for you. "
"I see." Xuan Ning looked even more surprised. "What business do you have with me, Master Ye?"
"I want to go to Darkniss with you."
"Darkniss?" Xuan Ning exchanged a look with Sun Sieha and asked, "Why would Master Ye want to go there? Are you lacking in materials? As far as I know, the Royal Family's warehouse has all kinds of rare materials. You don't have to risk your life in Darkniss. "
"That's right." Sun Sieha chuckled. "We can talk about the materials."
Ye Chong shook his head. "No. Are you going? Are you going? If you are, what are your conditions? "
Xuan Ning took a long look at Ye Chong. After a moment of silence, he spoke slowly, "I'm fine with going to Darkniss with you, Master Ye. I don't need anything in return. I just want to thank you for helping me reach Level 9. However, I have official duties, so I will need Your Majesty's permission. "
Ye Chong turned to Sun Sieha.
"About that!" Sun Sieha rolled his eyes and deliberately put on an awkward expression.
"What do you need?" Ye Chong asked straightforwardly.
Sun Sieha blushed, but quickly composed himself. After a moment's hesitation, he said, "It's fine if you want Xuan Ning to go with you, but in exchange, I want the complete technology for the cannon arrays." Ye Chong's cannon arrays were powerful weapons on the battlefield. However, Ye Chong's price was too high. One cannon array cost 20 million, and Sun Sieha found it difficult to afford it. He had been eyeing the technology for a long time, but none of his weapon makers had been able to replicate it. Now that he had the chance, he immediately made his offer.
"Alright." Ye Chong agreed quickly. The technology for the cannon array was nothing to Ye Chong. He had plenty of other technologies at his disposal. Exchanging this technique for the help of a Level 9 shooter seemed like a good deal to him.
"Hah!" Sun Sieha was overjoyed. He had been prepared to bargain with Ye Chong, but Ye Chong had agreed without hesitation. Sun Sieha was overjoyed, but at the same time, he wondered why Ye Chong suddenly wanted to go to Darkniss.
"I'll look for you when the time comes," Ye Chong said to Xuan Ning, and turned to Sun Sieha. "Send someone to collect the technology." With that, he left Sun Sieha's study.
"What do you think of his trip to Darkniss?" Sun Sieha asked Xuan Ning suddenly.
Xuan Ning was also puzzled. He shook his head. "I don't know. Grandmaster Ye is unfathomable and hard to figure out. "
Sumensieha nodded but did not say anything. No matter what, with the technology of the cannon array, it meant that the army could be equipped with this powerful weapon on a large scale. Whether it was the Western Frost Country or the Southern Continent, they would tremble under the fire of the cannon array.
That was something to look forward to! Sun Sieha's eyes burned with passion.
Ye Chong had just returned to his manor when Master Karu arrived.
Master Karu was panting. "I say, did you forget that you're the main judge? Come with me, we're all waiting for your comments. Also, give me the technology for the cannon arrays. I've been trying to figure it out for a long time, but there's still a lot I don't understand. "
Ye Chong finally remembered that he was the main judge.
*****
He was still recovering from his cold. He was touched by the concern from his friends! "No one scolded me for making excuses this time. I'm glad. I'll make up for the updates from yesterday and the day before this week! " Fang thought. (To be continued. If you want to know what happens next, please log on to WWW. CMFU. com. Support the author!
