Global Coming: Farming with my sister-in-law in the end times

Chapter 730 Unveiling the Treasure Trove, a Legendary Building!
Elisa shouted excitedly, "My lord! I've found a big box here too!"

"It's huge! Come quick, come quick!"

Immediately afterwards, Bai Zhi's cold voice rang out, "Cao Xing, there is also a strange box in the northwest corner."

The series of discoveries filled Cao Xing with ecstasy!

He exclaimed excitedly, "Don't make any rash moves! Wait for me to bring the golem over to open the box!"

After saying that, Cao Xing quickly led Tie Yi, Tie Er, and Tong Chuchu toward Sarah, who was the nearest person.

"Boom thump... thump thump..."

The golem's heavy footsteps echoed continuously, and it seemed to sense Cao Xing's urgency, so it moved even faster.

Soon, they arrived at the area where Sarah was.

The phantom dancer waited quietly.

And in the shadows behind her, there was a huge black metal box.

The container is about two meters high and more than one and a half meters wide.

Clearly, this is exactly the same box that Cao Xing opened last time, containing relics!
"Excellent! It really is a large loot chest."

Cao Xing, his voice excited, looked at the two magical elephants beside him and said, "It's up to you. Crack the code to this box!"

Tie Yi and Tie Er simultaneously emitted synthesized electronic voices: "Yes... Master..."

The next moment, the red rays in their eyes swept across the treasure chest.

About thirty seconds passed.

Golem Tetsuichi spoke first: "Master... has successfully deciphered it..."

"The password is..."

As usual, it gave a 24-digit password.

Tong Chuchu, who was squatting on top of the box, typed rapidly.

In no time, the password was completely entered.

With a 'click', the box slowly opened.

With an expectant look on his face, Cao Xing quickly poked his head out and peered into the box.

However, this time, unlike last time, no relics were found.

However, Cao Xing saw two dark red crystals inside, which were emitting strong fluctuations.

Clearly, this is the "Heart of a Hero," another resource he desperately needs.

Besides these, there was also a pile of precious metals and several pieces of ancient hardwood!
"Good heavens, he actually has the heart of a hero!"

"It truly lives up to its reputation as a large loot chest; the items inside are incredibly valuable!"

Clearly, the sheer number of heroes these two people possessed made the trip worthwhile!
With great excitement, Cao Xing emptied the box of everything.

[Received: Hero's Heart *2]

[Obtained: 5615 Strange Metals]

[Received: 241 Derry Iron Steel Ingots (Orange)]

[Obtained: Ancient Hardwood (Legendary) *5]

[Obtained: Master-grade Magic Crystal *26]

[Obtained: Expert-grade Magic Crystal *64]

……

After opening the box, Cao Xing immediately headed to the area where Elisa was located.

At this moment, the little girl was carrying a large bow on her back, standing with her hands on her hips on a box, looking very proud.

Upon seeing Cao Xing, she exclaimed excitedly, "Lord, you've arrived!"

"Captain Elisa found this box, isn't that amazing!"

Cao Xing chuckled softly, "Okay, impressive."

"Get down first, let Xiao Chuchu open the box."

"No problem, my lord!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the little girl jumped up.

Although Elisa is usually very lively, even somewhat mischievous.

But she would obey Cao Xing's orders without hesitation.

At the same time, the eyes of the two golems glowed red, and they began the process of cracking the code.

A few seconds later, Tie Er Machinery replied: "Master... the password has been cracked..."

"The password is..."

As it read out a password, Tong Chuchu quickly typed it in again.

With a "click," the lid of the box slowly opened.

Cao Xing quickly stepped forward and looked inside the box.

When he saw the two bright red crystals and a large pile of rare and high-grade materials again, he couldn't help but smile with delight.

"This is... a huge profit!"

With a wave of his hand, he collected everything from the box.

[Received: Hero's Heart *2]

[Obtained: 5531 Strange Metals]

[Received: Starfall Ingot * 278]

[Received: 154 Enhanced Silk Cloth Rolls]

[Obtained: Master-grade Magic Crystal *29]

[Obtained: Expert-grade Magic Crystal *178]

……

At this moment, Cao Xing exclaimed, "Two more Hero Hearts have arrived, making it four in total."

"If we also include the nine jars in the outer chamber, and the last unopened large loot chest."

"The contents of this treasure are quite astonishing."

Cao Xing thought to himself with satisfaction.

The trials set by the alchemist named Arkad were no longer as deeply resented as before.

A challenge is good! As long as there are more treasure chests, a few more challenges won't hurt.

Then, he waved his hand and said, "Let's go to Bai Zhi's place."

After saying that, Cao Xing led his group quickly to a corner of the hall.

The treasure chest that Bai Zhi found was located in a relatively far location, and it was also the last treasure chest in this underground hall.

As the crowd approached, the woman stood with her sword on her back, like a straight cedar tree, waiting in place.

Her snow-white hair was smooth and silky, and coupled with her aloof face, she looked incredibly beautiful.

However, Cao Xing scanned the area behind her but did not see any trace of the box.

He asked疑惑地问道, "Where's the treasure chest you found?"

Bai Zhi seemed to have anticipated his question and calmly replied, "Here."

After saying that, she moved a step to the side.

A small box suddenly appeared on the ground beneath her feet.

Compared to the two large treasure chests they opened earlier, this chest is quite 'mini'.

Moreover, its surface is dark red.

Just by looking at it, you can tell that the materials used to make this treasure chest are extraordinary.

It could even be some kind of special treasure chest!

A look of doubt appeared in everyone's eyes.

This is the first time anyone has encountered this kind of treasure chest.

Cao Xing nodded, then quickly went to Bai Zhi's side.

He crouched down, and a system notification appeared.

[Arkard's Private Storage Found, Open Now?]

……

Upon seeing the prompt, Cao Xing seemed to understand something.

"This is... that alchemist master's private storage box?"

Cao Xing was immediately intrigued.

This storage box is not locked and can be opened directly.

As a survivor, Bai Zhi also has the authority to open it.

But she knew the treasure belonged to Cao Xing, so she didn't make any rash moves.

At the same time, Cao Xing directly clicked 'Start'.

"pat..."

The dark red box slowly opened, releasing a mist that seemed to emanate a peculiar energy, but its contents remained unseen.

Cao Xing could only put everything into his backpack for the time being.

[Obtained: Unfinished Stasis Magic Obelisk (Legendary)]

[Received: Alcard's Message *1]

[Obtained: World Anchor Key *1]

……

There were only three items in the storage box.

However, when Cao Xing saw the item on top, his eyes widened in shock!

"Holy crap!" "There's actually a legendary building inside!"

What does it mean to build a legendary building?
It's worth noting that Cao Xing was only rewarded with a legendary building, the Dream Library, after achieving the feat of being the first to kill a demigod.

This library possesses incredibly magical power, enabling those who enter to greatly increase their strength and obtain some extremely precious treasures.

And now, this storage box actually contains a building of this level!
This instantly excited him!

With an expectant look on his face, Cao Xing couldn't wait to check the attributes.

The Unfinished Stasis Magic Obelisk

[Quality: Legend]

[Type: Territory Building]

[Effect: No construction required; can be placed directly within the territory by selecting an area.]

[Building area: 350 square meters]

Building height: 32 meters

[Magic Energy Reserves: 0/100]

【Architectural Effect 1: Global Static Shield】

Once the obelisk is successfully placed, a 'semi-transparent blue energy shield' will be generated that covers the entire territory.

The shield can block physical attacks, magical attacks, and mental attacks simultaneously.

Shield Durability: 1 billion/10 billion (After taking damage, it will consume 10 mana per second to restore 100 million shield durability.)
(Note: Shield durability can be increased by upgrading the 'Magic Obelisk'.)
Special Mechanism: After the shield is broken, it will enter a 1-hour self-recovery period (during which durability recovery speed is increased by 300%).

【Building Effect 2: Attack Static Areas】

0.5 seconds before the enemy attack makes contact with the shield, the 'Static Field' is automatically triggered.

The speed of flying items has been reduced to: 1/100
The transmission speed of mental attacks has been reduced to: 1/100
Melee attackers are slowed by 20% (frozen for 2 seconds after stacking 3 times)

[Building Effect 3: Magic Energy Feedback System (Incomplete, Unusable)]

Design prototype: It can convert 30% of the absorbed damage into mana storage.

Current flaw: Conversion can cause instability in the obelisk system (with a 20% chance of self-destruction).

(Introduction: "Stillness does not represent weakness, but rather the preservation of the last embers in the storm. This is the philosophy that our Static Academy has upheld throughout our lives." — Arkad.)
……

After reading the attribute descriptions above, Cao Xing was once again deeply shocked!
"Wow, is this the research result of this master of statics?"

"A semi-transparent shield can be generated by using the obelisk to cover the entire territory, and it has a durability of one billion!"

"Holy crap, this is practically made for me!"

It should be noted that Cao Xing's giant city was already under construction.

Once construction is complete, he will definitely need to establish a defensive force to ensure the safety of the entire megacity.

Although there are city walls and guards, it is impossible to be completely watertight in the event of a large-scale war.

At that time, many attacks will surely fall into the city from the air or from other angles, causing damage.

With this shield that can cover the entire city, there's no need to worry about these things!
This is truly all-around defense!
"Ah, this is great... Now my giant city is even better equipped than those kingdom capitals!"

"Even the main city of Everfrost doesn't have an energy shield that can cover an entire city!"

Cao Xing thought to himself with satisfaction.

Moreover, the shield released by this magical obelisk is not only a passive defensive effect, but also has a powerful special effect—attacking static fields.

It can slow down all attacks received, including magical attacks, physical attacks, and even mental attacks!
This effect gave Cao Xing a new idea.

"This world is a place where technology and magic coexist, and it's clear that they have developed the fusion of these two powers to an extremely sophisticated level."

"When my giant city is completed..."
We could try to find some research professionals in related fields.

"Have them help create a special device that can automatically identify and intercept attacks."

"It's similar to the air defense interception system on Earth."

"To neutralize it before it arrives."

"With the help of this 'static field,' the success rate of interception will increase dramatically!"

Cao Xing couldn't help but dream about it.

Of course, besides this interception system, he also wanted to repair the last building effect: the [Magic Energy Feedback System].

This effect can actually convert damage received into magic energy, which can then replenish the shield's durability.

With this feature, Cao Xing won't need to replenish the obelisk with magic crystals anymore!

This indirectly saved him an unknown amount of resources.

Unfortunately, even this master of statics did not completely perfect the Magic Obelisk.

Cao Xing put it into his backpack with satisfaction and exclaimed, "I thought the contents of those two boxes and those jars outside were already an amazing haul."

"I never imagined there were such powerful legendary buildings!"

"This treasure map is a huge find!"

Moreover, the gains didn't stop there.

There are two other items inside this storage box.

They are a letter and a uniquely shaped key.

The key is translucent, with strange energy veins flowing across its surface.

It looks unusual.

After thinking for a moment, Cao Xing decided to check the letter first.

As soon as he took the letter out of his backpack, Elisa, Tong Chuchu, and the others curiously gathered around.

Even the usually aloof Bai Zhi couldn't help but take a few steps closer, a hint of inquiry flashing in her eyes.

Cao Xing glanced at them but didn't pay them any attention.

He unfolded the letter, which was covered with ancient text.

These characters exhibit a unique geometric structure, with each character appearing as if precisely drawn with a ruler and compass, clearly the work of a civilization that highly values ​​precision.

"This is... the script of the Asura civilization?" Isabel asked softly from the side.

Cao Xing nodded.

"My lord, can you understand it?" Elisa asked in confusion.

"can't read."

However, although Cao Xing couldn't understand it, the system function still translated it automatically.

To the fools (or the lucky ones) who will step into this place in the future—

If you've read this letter, it means you've solved the triple echo puzzle I set, as well as the balancing equations left in the locked room (although I suspect you probably used some kind of cheating).
Hmph, don't be so smug. You think you're so smart?
The puzzles I left behind are simply a screening mechanism.

Only by passing the test can you prove that you are qualified to listen to the secrets I am about to tell you.

If you're just a useless person who stumbled in by accident, then you should put this envelope away as soon as possible and not read any further, otherwise it will have a bad influence on you.

You have three seconds to think it over...

three……

time up!
Now I'm going to tell you the secret I've discovered!

I am Alkard the Steadfast, the 74th Dean of the Academy of Stasis, a Master Alchemist, and a Legendary Arcane Mage.

I have spent my whole life studying various academic disciplines.

Until that day, by chance, combining static equations, large-scale alchemical arrays, and my own legendary arcane power, I glimpsed a secret.

I foresaw that the civilization of Asura would be swallowed up by a strange, thick fog one day in the near future!

This dense fog was extremely strange; even the 'Triple Annihilation Cannon' that we used to blast demigods couldn't affect it at all.

The Asura civilization will perish silently in the thick fog.

Those foolish members of parliament dared to mock my prophecy and say I was crazy!

Ha... these idiots, I knew I couldn't rely on them.

So I used all my savings and resources to build this laboratory.

It's not about saving those short-sighted fools, but about finding the real 'game-changers'.

The destruction of the Asura civilization was inevitable, but perhaps... some other hope could still be found.

I used all my knowledge to build an unprecedented device, my greatest masterpiece—the Anchor of the World.

Yes, it's that floating geometric shape behind you...

Upon seeing this, Cao Xing subconsciously raised his head and looked at the multifaceted device in the center of the hall that emitted a faint blue light.

“The Anchor of the World.” He murmured the name, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.

Apart from Bai Zhi and Tong Chuchu, none of the other people have the system's built-in translation function.

He stared blankly at the abstract words on the paper.

Elisa tilted her head and asked, "My lord, what does it say?"

Cao Xing shook his head. "I don't know yet. I'll tell you after I finish watching it."

“Oh…” Elisa nodded in realization.

Cao Xing continued to look down at the information on the paper.

You might be wondering what this thing does, so let the great Arkad tell you!
While I foresaw the fog engulfing the Asura civilization, I also foresaw something else.

At some point in the future, a group of beings from other worlds will appear in this world; they seem to be called 'Otherworld Lords'.

I knew their landing locations in advance, so I left a spatial node at each location.

In this way, when someone enters my laboratory in the future and uses the key I left behind to open the World Anchor, 'Spatial Anchoring' will be activated.

The territories of those 'otherworldly lords' will then establish a connection with the [World Anchor], allowing them to be teleported here via spatial nodes...

Upon seeing this, Cao Xing's eyes immediately showed a look of shock!

"Holy crap! They can teleport us, lords from another world, from our territories to these ruins!"

"This is too exaggerated!"
