Extracting all things: My attributes grow infinitely.

When the commendation order personally signed by Du Beiheng spread throughout the Northern War Zone, the entire Iron Wall Fortress was in an uproar.

Special Merit Award!

This is the highest honor that the federal government has not awarded in nearly twenty years.

now.

It was awarded to all members of the Raptors Commando!

Those old soldiers who were usually arrogant and haughty all had tears in their eyes when they held the medal engraved with a golden dragon pattern.

Some laughed loudly, some cursed, but most silently pressed the medal to their chests, feeling the weight of that honor.

As for Jiang Chuan...

The significance of this Special Merit Medal goes far beyond the honor itself.

"The core privileges of the Special Merit Award are threefold."

"First, the recipients of the medal and their immediate family members will enjoy the highest level of federal medical care and spiritual resources for life."

Chu Qiu explained dutifully.

Jiang Chuan nodded slightly.

This benefit was still very useful to him.

This would allow his parents to enjoy the best medical resources in the federal government, so they wouldn't have to worry about illnesses for the rest of their lives.

"Secondly, the recipient of the medal has the right to propose a motion at the Federation's highest military conference. He can directly propose a strategic motion at the Heavenly Pavilion Conference, and all Heavenly Generals must vote on it. This power is very important, so I suggest you keep it for now. It may be very useful in the future."

"Thirdly, one can enter the secret realm of the Federal Treasury and choose any treasure with the highest authority."

"Highest level of authority?"

Jiang Chuan's heart stirred.

When he was promoted to the rank of Heavenly General candidate, Qin Tianheng had mentioned the matter of the Federal Treasury to him.

It contains the most precious resources accumulated by the human race over hundreds of years.

The Heavenly General candidate has already gained access to the top eight levels.

But actually.

The treasures on the first eight floors held little appeal for him.

He could easily forge a bunch of Dark Gold-grade equipment, and he didn't care for S-grade inheritances. As for pills, he could enjoy the direct supply from Han Sinan, a top medical expert.

"That's right."

Chu Qiuci nodded and said, "The Federal Treasury has nine levels. The ninth level is the core. What is sealed there are not treasures in the conventional sense, but 'unknown objects' that the Federation has collected over hundreds of years that cannot be identified."

"Every item there could be a rare treasure that would cause a sensation throughout the entire Federation."

"certainly."

"It could also be completely useless garbage."

Chu Qiuci said casually, "I went in once before and picked out a mysterious talisman, but after a few years I found it was useless. It was placed on the ninth floor simply because I couldn't identify it. How you choose is up to your own eyesight."

Jiang Chuan seemed to be deep in thought.

Chu Qiuci continued to report on his work before leaving.

Jiang Chuan lay back in the chair, opened the panel, and found that the Federal Treasury was located in a special secret realm that required an access code to enter. He then entered the highest access code that had been issued along with his Special Merit Medal.

Buzz...!

An indescribable spiritual fluctuation spread through his mind, drawing his consciousness to an unknown place.

Open your eyes again.

Jiang Chuan found himself standing in front of a huge pagoda.

The entire tower is made of some kind of dark gold metal.

It is hundreds of feet tall.

The tower has octagonal eaves, and a string of golden bells hangs under each layer of eaves.

The entire pagoda was enveloped by a visible energy barrier, strong enough to withstand a ninth-tier attack.

The guardian spirit of the treasure vault was an old, humanoid phantom.

The face is not visible.

Only a pair of deep, all-seeing eyes slowly opened in the phantom.

"Identity verified... Jiang Chuan, recipient of the Special Merit Award and candidate for Heavenly General, access verified. Welcome to the Federal Treasury."

The phantom's voice was hoarse and hollow.

As soon as the words were spoken...

The heavy metal gate of the pagoda's main entrance slowly slid open to both sides.

Jiang Chuan didn't linger on the first eight floors, not even glancing at them. He walked straight through the halls filled with dark gold equipment, S-grade inheritance stones, rare pills, and precious materials, and stepped onto the spiral staircase leading to the ninth floor.

At the end of the spiral staircase was a very ordinary wooden door.

There was no formation on the door.

There are no runes.

There wasn't even a lock.

But Jiang Chuan knew that this door was the most heavily guarded place in the entire federal treasury.

Without the highest level of authentication, even a peak eighth-tier expert wouldn't be able to open this seemingly dilapidated door that could be kicked down with a single kick.

He reached out and pushed open the wooden door.

I went inside.

The space on the ninth floor is much smaller than that on the eight floors below.

The room contained more than thirty independent display stands, each with an item suspended on it, protected by a semi-transparent energy shield.

Jiang Chuan's gaze slowly swept over the exhibition stands.

The Eye of Truth is activated.

The detailed information about those items appeared before his eyes line by line.

【A Heart of Frost】

[Grade: Divine Artifact]

[Attributes: Attack +3500, Intelligence +200, Ice Skill Damage +80%]

【Characteristic: Frozen Horizons (Active): Releases an extremely cold shockwave, dealing 800% ice damage to all enemies within a 100-meter radius and inflicting a freeze effect for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 120 seconds】

[Note: This is a ten-thousand-year-old ice core that has solidified deep within the frigid northern lands. It was forged by the late legendary master blacksmith Ouyang Ye over three years and was once the personal weapon of the seventh Heavenly General of the human race. After that Heavenly General's fall, this item was sealed here.]

artifact.

Equipment that is one tier higher than Dark Gold.

Like SS-level inheritances, each artifact is a treasure of the entire human race, and cannot be used by anyone but those with outstanding achievements.

But Jiang Chuan only glanced at the attributes before looking away.

too weak.

The attack bonus from the artifact equipment is only 3500 points, which is less than a fraction of his current attack stat.

+80% ice damage is a pretty good attribute.

It suits Ling Aoshuang very well.

However, she can get the equipment herself when she comes in later; it's only a matter of time, so there's no need to waste his privileges.

His gaze continued to move.

[Indestructible Battle Armor]

[Grade: Divine Artifact]

[Attributes: Defense +5000, Magic Resistance +5000, Constitution +300, Health +150000]

【Characteristic: Unyielding Will. This effect is automatically triggered when the wearer receives fatal damage, retaining 1 point of health and entering a 15-second invulnerable state. Cooldown: 24 hours】

[Note: Forged from a mysterious alloy unearthed from an ancient battlefield, it is said that the blacksmith who forged this armor died of exhaustion on the day it was completed, and his indomitable will became the spirit of this armor.]

It's another amazing artifact.

It provides bonuses to defense, magic resistance, and health, and also includes a life-saving skill that's like having a second life.

Jiang Chuan touched the Star Guardian Bracer on his forearm, then felt the passive effect of the Eternal Body within his body, and silently withdrew his gaze.

His immortal body comes with the ability to resurrect, and his health has exceeded one million.

This armor was merely icing on the cake for him.

It's not very useful in practice.

The third piece.

Fourth piece.

The fifth item.

Jiang Chuan examined each item one by one. Every single one of the items stored in the ninth-level treasure vault was a divine artifact that was rarely seen in the outside world.

But he couldn't use any of it, not because the equipment wasn't good enough.

Rather, it's because he's too abnormal.

His base attributes are so high that these artifacts provide him with negligible bonuses.

The only things that could tempt him were equipment of the Nine Star Bow level, or the other seven Star Gems that he had not yet collected.

But it's a pity.

There are no Star Gems on this ninth floor.

He shifted his gaze to the last few booths, where equipment was no longer on display, but rather all sorts of strange and unusual items.
