“This?”
“Su, someone is talking.”
Ji Zi gently rubbed her temples, a sense of indescribable confusion arising.
It was as if two worlds briefly overlapped before her eyes.
That distant and vague ‘murmuring’, like a whisper floating on the edge of reality.
Su Zhe hurriedly embraced Ji Zi’s shoulders.
“Voice?”
Hei Ta raised an eyebrow.
She stepped forward.
Nothing.
When she received this ‘merchandise’, the sword was broken, but it still emitted a scorching energy.
It felt warm.
That was all.
“Let me try.”
Aista quickly stepped forward, curiously examining it.
This was the thing she had collected for Hei Ta.
She didn’t hear any sound either.
Her face drew closer and closer to the broken sword, almost touching it.
“Strange? I didn’t hear any particular sound either.”
“Give me the broken sword.”
“Alright.”
Hei Ta didn’t refuse.
This ‘oddball’ was simply bought because she felt the owner of the sword must have had a magnificent story.
Even though it was broken, it was still worthy of becoming part of her collection.
Moreover, Su Zhe was someone the All-Knowing Venerable had specifically instructed.
As a Star God.
Even if a messenger died, He didn't care.
However, He showed a special “interest” in Su Zhe alone.
Although the reasons were unclear.
It was always better to be on good terms.
Su Zhe’s lips curled into a smile.
He gently tapped with his fingertips, a golden stream of imaginary energy, like flowing water, quietly coiled around the broken sword fragments.
After a series of crisp ‘clacks’, the scattered fragments began to slowly merge together.
The cracks on the blade also quickly disappeared under the nourishment of imaginary energy.
Until they were completely gone.
Of course, only half of the blade was restored, Su Zhe didn’t completely reforge the vast tower Ji Zi’s great sword.
“Let’s go.”
Ji Zi knew.
This sword had a story.
Perhaps it even had a ‘connection’ with her.
But Su Zhe didn’t explain, and she didn’t ask.
If he wanted to say something, he would.
…
“Now you can tell me, right?”
“I’m precious with my time.”
“I don’t want to waste it on trivial matters.”
“As for the Star Void Train’s collaboration with the space station, just talk to Aista about it.”
Inside the reception room.
Watching Su Zhe leisurely sip his coffee.
Hei Ta was so angry she gritted her teeth.
“Sorry, this one really needs to be discussed with you.”
Ji Zi gently set down her coffee cup and spoke elegantly.
“Oh, why’s that?”
Hei Ta leaned back on the sofa and asked.
“I know Ms. Hei Ta enjoys collecting, and the Star Void Train is more than willing to find those… goods that interest you during its explorations.”
“Of course, Ms. Hei Ta needs to pay a commensurate price.”
A subtle and elegant smile graced Ji Zi’s lips.
“Is that so?”
“Then it’s definitely something I need to talk to you about.”
After all, she had to personally inspect the oddities and such.
Of course.
The matter of paying in credits was Aista’s responsibility.
Hei Ta’s brows furrowed, then her eyes lit up.
“Since this is our first collaboration, I also want to see the capabilities of this generation of Nameless Passengers. Just so happens I have something I really want.”
“Go to Salsa-to, find a material called ‘Echo Glass’.”
“Hmm?”
“The reward will be, 1 million credits.”
Hei Ta said.
“Eh?!”
Aista was instantly stunned.
“Ms. Hei Ta, this, isn’t that a little too dangerous? And the price is a bit too high!”
Salsa-to, a ruined planet.
It’s beautiful.
A planet like ‘gold’.
But it’s also dangerous.
Also known as the “Halted Salsa-to.”
The day and night cycles there are incredibly long, people can only barely maintain their remaining living space by constantly migrating following the “dawn-dusk boundary line”.
Its rotation has almost ceased!
Day and night are no longer familiar.
Endless, long scorching heat and cold, like a hellish mire, envelop Salsa-to, slowly burying the lives trapped within it.
It is a land of sandstorms, extreme cold, scorching heat, ruins, and the paradise of elemental creatures.
Extremely dangerous.
And the “Echo Glass” is made by the Empty Fishers.
Despite their difficult living conditions, the people of Salsa-to are optimistic by nature.
They practice glass-made instruments with their families, recording their music into the glass.
But!
After long years of apocalyptic torment, the two mobile cities, which had never met each other, erupted in war for some unknown reason.
Eventually, the two cities were tragically buried under the sand dunes.
There are no people left on Salsa-to.
“To search for the ‘Echo Glass’ instrument on a crisis-ridden planet, that’s simply impossible.”
Aista said.
Hei Ta raised an eyebrow: “So its value is proportional to its rarity, scarcity, and danger.”
“Halted Salsa-to”?
Su Zhe brainstormed for a moment.
He had farmed this relic quite a bit, mainly for Clara.
As a result, the Dimensional Sphere’s ‘physical attribute damage increase’ stubbornly refused to spawn.
Damn it!
So he remembered it quite clearly.
And…
(We’re going to Salsa-to now?)
(It seems…)
(After jumping to near Salsa-to, I met Lao Yang who had crossed over.)
“…”
Ji Zi didn’t immediately agree, but looked at Su Zhe.
Exploration also requires intelligence.
Let’s check the database later.
“Alright!”
“Also, I need to find the All-Knowing Venerable and have him create a device that can locate world beacons.”
Su Zhe nodded.
To put it simply?
He intends to do two things at once.
On the one hand, he would rely on himself and ascend to the level of a god in the multiverse using the power of the rules.
Later, whether by using the power of the tree or by transversing on his own.
But for now, he could only temporarily rely on the All-Knowing Venerable for locating purposes.
After all, he grabbed the group chat with his bare hands and was invited to join.
No one knew what would happen next.
“Huh?”
“Just this?”
“So this is why you need to find the All-Knowing Venerable?”
Hei Ta’s eyes widened.
For a moment, she didn’t know what to say.
This guy was completely wasting her time.
“This thing requires the All-Knowing Venerable to make? They’re sold at the space station.”
Hei Ta felt she had been tricked.
“NO!”
“I’m talking about a device that can locate ‘other’ world beacons, not other planets.”
Su Zhe shook his head.
“Huh?”
Hei Ta raised an eyebrow, unable to understand.
Only Ji Zi understood that Su Zhe was talking about the worlds in the Dimensional Chat Group.
“Let’s put it this way.”
“The world we’re in is a box.”
“And outside this box, there are other ‘boxes’.”
“The ‘world beacon’ I want is to locate these boxes.”
Su Zhe simply explained.
“Ah?”
Hei Ta’s mouth opened in a small ‘O’, her face was stunned.
Although she understood, but…
Is this true?
“This ‘world beacon’ is beyond your capabilities, the All-Knowing Venerable might have a tiny chance.”
Su Zhe waved his hand.
“You!”
“You dare say I’m incapable?”
“Damn it!”
“Give me a day!”
Hei Ta’s eyes seemed to ignite, a strong desire to win glimmered in them.
She slammed her fist on the table.
She got up and strode away.
Her steps were firm and strong, as if she was stepping on Su Zhe.
