Chapter 43 "The Eye of Insight"
Fortunately, there was prior planning. When sending these items back to the valley, Chen Yao had already made a rough division of them.
He walked straight to the area that was full of Tier 2 resources.
Second-tier refined weapon, volcanic copper ore, thorn vine spirit seed, low-grade planetary origin crystal ore...
In just a short while, the most valuable materials were loaded back onto the Sky Patrol until the ship's cabin was completely full and could hold no more. Only then did he activate the "recycling card" in his hand.
[The "Recycling Card" has been activated for ten minutes. Countdown has begun.]
Chen Yao leaped off the warship and, protected by two rock guardian terracotta warriors that had been resummoned after cooling down, strode down to the mountain of resources in the valley below. He quickly touched the various materials with both hands and feet.
[1.4 tons of Tier 2 Coldlight Stone ore detected; half-price buyback will yield 500 card points...]
[800kg of Tier 2 Fire Silica Ore Detected; Half-price Buyback Offers 200 Card Points...]
[12 Tier 1 Spirit Plants - Jade Heart Grass detected. Half-price buyback will yield 120 Card Points...]
With his swift actions, a large amount of resources vanished into thin air and were subsequently recycled by the [Miracle Card Mother Pool]. Even though it was only a half-price recycling, the number of card points on Chen Yao's body was increasing at an extremely rapid pace.
300
500
1000
……
2000
However, in the blink of an eye, the card points that were originally just a few cents away have once again exceeded two thousand points, and they are still increasing.
Time continued to pass, and until the moment the "recycling card" officially ended, a small amount of resources still remained in the valley.
There was no other way; there were just too many items, and this "recycling card" couldn't actively absorb objects within a certain range like the "secret realm card." He had to touch it himself to recycle it, and it was already quite good that he could do this much in just ten minutes.
Looking at the card points on the [Miracle Card Pool] now, it has just broken through 3,000 points, reaching 3055 points.
In other words, that huge amount of resources just now yielded more than two thousand card points.
Thinking of this, while feeling happy, Chen Yao couldn't help but think of the second-order heavy iron ore vein on Resource Star No. 3.
Even if the value of 88 tons of raw ore is relatively low among second-tier minerals, it can still be worth several thousand card points.
Thinking about it, Chen Yao felt a surge of impulse, but after some consideration, he decided to abandon the idea of going directly to Planet Three.
Since it has been confirmed that the next star field exploration will return to this star field, there is naturally no need to rush.
"Now, it's time to go!"
Turning back to the warship, the Sky Patrol quickly soared into the sky.
If there were outsiders here, they would surely notice that the direction the Sky Patrol is heading is none other than the sacred Mount Taina from before.
Indeed, after much deliberation, Chen Yao decided to make one last trip to Mount Taina before returning home.
After more than ten hours of contemplation, he still felt that something was off about Mount Taina.
It was actually so ordinary that it aroused his suspicion.
With the Fission Core Engine running at full power, the Sky Patrol was extremely fast, and it took less than ten minutes to reach the location of Mount Taina again.
This time, Chen Yao did not continue to have the Sky Patrol perform the standard detection and scanning. Instead, he took out the Miracle Card that he had just drawn.
"Insight Card, activate!"
The next instant, Dongchaka transformed into a ball of light, which slowly disappeared into his eyes.
The moment this radiance merged with his eyes, Chen Yao noticed a dramatic change in his pupils.
He felt as if his eyes were being soaked in cool spring water, and a strange power spread from the depths of his eyeballs. The color of his pupils changed subtly, and a faint purple halo appeared in the original deep black, like two miniature stars slowly rotating in his pupils.
Blinked, and when I opened my eyes again, the whole world in front of me was completely different from before.
Colors and textures—the world before my eyes seemed to come alive completely at this moment.
However, Chen Yao did not dwell on this dramatic change. He quickly regained his composure, turned his gaze, and looked directly down at the Taina Mountain.
From the foot of the mountain to the summit, from the ridge to the valley, Chen Yao's gaze swept over every corner of Mount Taina.
At one moment, his gaze suddenly stopped, his eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he locked his gaze on an inconspicuous gray boulder on the mountainside of the sacred mountain.
Beneath this gray boulder, he detected an extremely faint spatial fluctuation.
This fluctuation was extremely subtle; if it weren't for the Eye of Insight's analytical capabilities being a hundred times stronger, it would probably be impossible to detect even if the entire mountain were turned upside down.
Could this be the place...?
With a murmur, the Sky Patrol slowly descended to the mountainside.
Two rock-guarding terracotta warriors leaped off the warship and quickly walked to the giant rock. Before long, the gray boulder was moved aside by the two warriors.
Only then did Chen Yao see the whole picture. It was not a simple flow of energy, but a spatial node that was partially hidden in the void. Behind the node, there was likely an unknown space.
With a thought, the two rock guardian terracotta warriors under his control attempted to stir the node with brute force, but the two seemed to be in completely different dimensions, and the terracotta warriors could not make contact with the node mark at all.
After that, Chen Yao tried several other methods, such as injecting psionic energy and attacking with the main cannon, but he was still unable to shake this spatial node.
“Eh…”
Just when he was at his wit's end, Chen Yao vaguely sensed a slight anomaly from the [Starfield Patrol Beacon] on the Sky Patrol Ship.
"Could it be...?"
With a thought, he quickly unloaded the component from the Sky Patrol.
It wasn't until this hexagonal crystal disc appeared in his hand that Chen Yao finally confirmed that it did indeed seem to have a faint resonance with the spatial node below.
laugh--
The warship's hatch opened, and the [Starfield Patrol Beacon] was launched, landing directly at the mysterious spatial node below.
Buzz!
Before the [Starfield Patrol Beacon] even made contact with the spatial node, violent spatial fluctuations had already begun to spread.
Then Chen Yao witnessed the spatial node suddenly expand, and the originally imperceptible ripples transformed into a pitch-black vortex channel with a diameter of more than ten meters, with a terrifying devouring power emanating from the depths of the vortex.
Caught off guard, the Sky Patrol, which was hovering not far away, was suddenly enveloped and then quickly pulled into the passage.
"I……"
With a change in expression, Chen Yao tried his best to keep the Sky Patrol ship as stable as possible, while shifting some of his attention to the [Chikan Copper Mothership Armor]. If he sensed anything amiss, this would allow him to activate the "Chikan Copper Mothership Guardian" ability immediately.
After a period of dizziness, when Chen Yao opened his eyes again, he found himself and the Sky Patrol in an unfamiliar, dark space.
Looking around, one sees a space shrouded in thick fog, with the distant horizon faintly revealing the outline of a floating celestial palace, ancient and mysterious.
"What is this...?"
