[Item Description]: A crystal retrieved from the deepest part of the Abyss, cut in a standard diamond shape, about the size of a pigeon egg, entirely white-gold in color—the base is a nearly transparent colorless crystal, inside which are densely packed with countless fine, spiderweb-like white-gold energy veins, refracting a cool, silvery-white and pale gold glow when light penetrates it. Test data shows that the spatial energy density contained within the gemstone far exceeds that of all known source energy substances.

After a moment of astonishment, Chu Hong gasped in shock.

He thought he would at most find a small red thing this time.

Unexpectedly... it's a super red item worth 1300 million per piece!

What made Chu Hong's breathing even more rapid was that... the type of this item was actually "source energy substance"!

In other words... this is yet another superpower!

His gaze involuntarily fell upon Bai Ningzhi.

Unexpectedly, when he turned his head, his eyes met Bai Ningzhi's gaze.

Chu Hong: "......."

This was the first time he had ever seen such a burning gaze in Bai Ningzhi's eyes, as if... she wanted to make him lie on the table right then and there, in a rather masculine pose reminiscent of ancient Greece, and then place sashimi, salad, and other such things on him...

Time seemed to stand still at that moment.

I don't know how much time passed.

Bai Ningzhi suddenly turned around.

After his shoulders twitched clearly twice, he took a deep breath.

The voice remained clear and cold, but carried a subtle, inexplicable tremor.

"You...you put your things away safely. From now on, you're not allowed to go anywhere without my permission!"

She seemed about to leave, but then, as if remembering something, she paused and added.

"Even when you need to use the restroom, you can't leave the [Refinery] area!"

......

"The Heart of Platinum, this is the legendary Heart of Platinum... My God, I can't believe I've actually seen the Heart of Platinum one day... Sir, if you're willing, please be generous and take my life if we meet again in the secret realm in the future..."

"Even if I die at your hands, it will surely be with God's blessing..."

Andrei was so excited that he was almost incoherent. He wanted to step forward, but he seemed afraid of causing Chu Hong or the White Sword Immortal outside to misunderstand.

He rubbed his hands together, his face flushed, as he stared at the gem in Chu Hong's hand, which shone with platinum-gold energy.

God.

The single-cell Super Red is priced at 1300 million, and it's also a source energy material.

If this were put at an auction, it would be snapped up even with a starting price of 10 billion energy points.

It's even possible that this could trigger a small-scale military conflict between nations...

Chu Hong saw that the other party was so excited.

"Is this thing really that precious?"

He had seen far too many reds, even many single-piece reds like [Abyss Ruins - Platinum Star] worth tens of millions.

Seeing such a strong reaction from everyone, including Bai Ningzhi.

He looked at the thing in his hand with some doubt.

It's very beautiful upon closer inspection...

Upon closer inspection, it really is beautiful...

Before bringing it back to the Special Operations Division, he didn't know what kind of superpowers it would have after fusion, but the item's description mentioned "spatial energy".

Perhaps I can obtain a spatial ability?

however.

Seeing his nonchalant expression, Andrei reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

He was even more excited than Chu Hong, who held the [Abyss Ruins·Platinum Star].

"Sir! Don't you understand? This is the Heart of Platinum! This is the Heart of Platinum! God, sir, you now, without exaggeration, hold the scepter of God!"

"This is the most precious top-tier red jade from [A1 District: Broken Ridge Corridor]! No, it's practically a near-Radiant level divine artifact! A divine artifact, sir!"

Seeing that Chu Hong remained calm, Andrei anxiously pondered his not-so-fluent Daxia language, scratching his head and cheeks as if he were experiencing some immense, unventable pain.

Fortunately, his wife, Natalia, could also speak some of the Daxia language.

"Mr. Chu, there is a consensus among countries around the world that if you can collect all nine [Abyss Gems], you will be able to fuse them into a top-tier, dazzling divine item. Although all of this is just speculation, almost all the synthesizers in various countries have accepted this conjecture."

"So..." Natalia took a deep breath and said to Chu Hong with great seriousness.

"Sir, you now possess one-ninth of a dazzling-grade divine artifact!"

Andrei quickly chimed in, "Gallos Hawking, the current guardian deity of the Lighthouse Kingdom, has fused with a [Void Gem], which is the same 1300 million worth of [Void Black Hole Star] from [Sector C3: Slag Foundry]."

"【Abyss Ruins: Black Hole Star】granted Garros the terrifying ability to instantly appear anywhere in the world!"

Chu Hong raised an eyebrow; he hadn't heard of this before.

He weighed the [Abyss Ruins - Platinum Star] in his hand.

"Has anyone ever obtained this Platinum Star? What kind of superpower does it grant after fusion?"

This time, before Andrei could speak, Bai Ningzhi's cold voice came from outside.

"The Black Hole Council, member number 005, codenamed 'Star Lord,' gained the superpower 'Gravity Space' after fusion. With a single thought, he can instantly turn a top-tier pioneer at the fifth stage of the Concentration Realm into a target for slaughter."

Gravity...

A glint flashed in Chu Hong's eyes.

This thing seems to have some basis in fact!

now.

Watching Chu Hong put this priceless, precious super red gem into his [Dimensional Ring].

Andrei's family watched with envy.

However, they were merely envious; even if these moles managed to find such a thing, they couldn't take it out with them.

Chu Hong then led Andrei and his family of three to examine the containers one by one in the other areas of the [Refinery].

After touching the [changing room/shower room].

【Warehouse/Loading/Unloading Area】.

If the [canteen] that Chu Hong had just searched at the beginning of the game was the first floor area of ​​the [refinery], which had the most open-air spawns of supplies, then the [warehouse] in front of him was the place with the most containers.

Chu Hong ignored Anna's parents who were present.

With one hand resting on Anna's rather thick, golden, wavy hair, he dribbled the ball with one hand, and Anna didn't dare to protest against such rude and disrespectful behavior.

All Chu Hong could do was keep chewing on the few small golden foods he had taken out of the cafeteria.

It looks like a golden hamster...

Searching for [Top Secret Material Box]: ...

One single square, one 1x2 two-square square, and then one 2x2 four-square square.

"Bang!"

Chu Hong tossed a heavy bucket of gold—which would fetch at least 40 energy points outside—to the Andre couple behind him as if it were trash.

The latter had almost gotten used to it along the way.

They thought Chu Hong was just asking them to be temporary storage, and although they were eager to help, they knew their strength was no match for the other teams in Area A1. Not to mention, there was another area, Area B2: Mirror Lake Central, where the fighting would be even fiercer.

"My goodness, Natalia, I never even dared to dream about having an entire backpack full of gold-quality collectibles. When I get back today, I'm definitely going to brag about it to that bald Victor..."
