Swallowing the Stars: The Supreme Being of All Heavens

Chapter 69 The Value of Zerg Corpses

How much is a Zerg body of a World Lord worth?

It depends on the level of the Realm Lord insectoid race, whether it's a first-level Realm Lord or a ninth-level Realm Lord. The higher the level, the more valuable it is.

Secondly, it also depends on the type of Zerg that the Realm Lord is dealing with. Even among the same level, different types of Zerg can have significantly different prices.

Then you also need to look at the "condition" of the property; the better it is preserved, the more valuable it will be.

"Obtaining Zerg host bodies is one thing, but selling them is another; only then can they be converted into resources to aid us," Suk began to lament.

He was just a minor planetary from an ordinary planet who was "a little luckier." He had no background or connections, and bringing out such a treasure was tantamount to inviting trouble.

As Suk's status and position changed, he came to understand the current power structure of the Jialan Empire.

It should be noted that the most powerful forces in the Jialan Empire include three immortal forces, seven top organizations, and twenty-seven great families. These twenty-seven great families were created by only 27 realm lords.

This shows that in the Jialan Empire, the Realm Lords are already the most powerful forces. Other organizations, large and small, are considered lucky if they have a Domain Lord.

The treasure discovered by Suk is incredibly attractive to immortal gods.

"I don't have any good channels at all. If I want to sell the treasure, it's easy for them to be discovered." Suk frowned.

Treasures are too hot to handle. If you don't have the ability or the means to sell them, acquiring them will only be a disaster!

These treasures are so precious that even a powerful being at the realm lord level could be implicated and lose their life if they obtain them.

Suk remembered that in the original story, there was a Thunder Lord named "Kabu" who had a lot of treasures. However, he was surrounded and killed by various parties, and when he finally died, he self-destructed.

The appearance of the Zerg creatures also reminded Suk of something once again.

Since the Zerg hive has remained silent from beginning to end, and there are signs of damage to its exterior and Zerg creatures still inside, does that mean the queen inside the hive is dead?

If the Zerg Queen dies, the remaining Zerg hives will be far less valuable.

The so-called "not high" was actually enough to tempt the immortal gods and drive the realm lord crazy.

The value of this empty Zerg hive alone far exceeds that of a top-tier E-class spaceship of the Mech race, and is probably comparable to the entire fortune of an ordinary immortal god.

Meanwhile, another robot in another passage soon discovered another dead Zerg.

This dead Zerg was different from the previous one; it had a triangular head covered in blue carapace, two antennae, and large compound eyes.

Its body was muscular and strong, with two hind limbs supporting its body and four forelimbs. Its limbs were like battle blades, and it had two semi-transparent wings on its back. Judging from its posture, it died instantly, still in a forward-moving posture, with no signs of destruction around it.

"It's a different kind of Zerg."

"The decay isn't severe, so it should also be a Lord-level insectoid."

"Since this insect nest is a World Lord-level insect nest, it is normal for it to give birth to World Lord-level insect races."

Seeing the steady harvest, Suk was in a fairly good mood.

"The surface of the Zerg mother hive is pitted and has 1008 holes, which are suspected to be used for breeding Zerg."

"After a period of intensive exploration by the robots, a total of 26 dead Zerg corpses were found, representing 6 different species. Most of them were well-preserved, with the best showing only 3% decay and the worst showing around 21% decay."

Suk counted the spoils; these Zerg corpses would be loaded onto the spaceship and brought back later.

These insectoid beings alone were a huge fortune for him.

but.

Within the very core of the Zerg hive, there is an area with a diameter of approximately 100 meters that cannot be breached. It resembles the central control room of a spaceship, and the walls are made of an unknown metal, possibly even more advanced than the outside of the hive.

The robot did find a large door, but it couldn't find a way in. It couldn't open it at all; there wasn't even a crack. It was completely sealed off, and it couldn't detect what was inside.

Suk guessed that the Zerg Queen was inside, but even if he guessed it, there was nothing he could do about it.

"I wonder if the Zerg Queen is still here, and what her situation is." Suk was also quite troubled.

Without knowing the true situation of the Zerg Queen, he could not proceed to the next step.

If he knew the Zerg Queen was dead, he could simply find a way to take the remaining items and make use of them. But if the Zerg Queen was alive and woke up, the scene would be too horrible for Suk to even imagine.

Don't be fooled by the fact that there aren't many Zerglings in the discovered Zerg hive. Suk knows that the Zerg army created by the Zerg Queen is kept in her inner world or in some treasure in another world. It is only released to fight when needed. The ones outside are just a few scattered small karami.

Suk couldn't help but shudder at the thought of the overwhelming horde of Zerg lords charging out.

The biggest problem now is the inability to probe the situation in the core area. And Suk can't deliberately create a commotion to awaken the Zerg Queen inside, whose existence is uncertain.

No matter how advanced the equipment he bought was, it was useless against the Zerg mother hive.

He dared not touch the mother nest.

Of course, Suk has another option: under the right conditions, to sell information about the Zerg hive to other major powers!

For example, that immortal god of the Jialan Empire!

However, this was a choice made under the most unavoidable circumstances, and it also carries many hidden dangers. First, how to contact the other party, and who knows what kind of personality that immortal god of the Jialan Empire has, and whether he follows the rules.

Even if they offer benefits, how much could they possibly give Suk?

Suk himself was ambitious and naturally unwilling to accept this situation.

Such a choice would only be made if Suk knew that the Zerg Queen inside was still alive and might awaken.

Hail, Liumira, and the other servants all remained silent, not daring to speak, as they watched their master sitting quietly in thought.

As his fingers unconsciously stroked the ring, another thought suddenly popped into Suk's mind.

Life cannot be stored in space, except for the physical body.

If the Zerg hive cannot be taken into the space, it naturally proves that there is living life inside.

Unfortunately, his spatial ring wasn't large enough. Although it was over a thousand meters long, five hundred meters high, and seven hundred and fifty meters wide, which was already quite impressive, it was impossible to fit the Zerg mother hive, which was nearly a thousand meters in diameter, inside.

It's too big to fit in.

"But," Suk had a new idea, "that won't work. I can simply buy a bigger storage treasure."

"If it's over 1000 meters in length, width, and height, then we can have its subordinates recognize its master, and with proper protection, we can give it a try."

Knowing that the Zerg hive is "safe" will allow him to use it more confidently and boldly in the future.

However, such storage devices are naturally extremely expensive, and Suk's current wealth is far from enough to buy one.

His most valuable possessions right now are the Zerg host bodies he just discovered. If he can sell them, he could definitely buy high-grade storage treasures.

The problem is, Suk hasn't found a safe way to sell it yet.

We've come full circle again.

"Sigh, if only I had a teacher who died but left behind a five-star bank account, like the protagonist, then I could just sell it through the bank's channels." Su Ke was so worried.
