Chapter 62: Fall Mo Star Inheritance Mission

Under the blazing sun, Luo Feng spread his arms wide and suspended himself mid-air, feeling wonderfully refreshed and at ease, until—

"Hmm? Bai has published a new mission?"

With a flicker of his thoughts, Luo Feng opened the mission panel and began to review it.

[New Mission: Obtain the Falling Ink Star Heritage!]
[Reward: Falling Ink Star Heritage (Enhanced Version), Ten Million Points]

"Another Falling Ink Star Heritage?" Luo Feng asked in surprise. Could it be that there was more than one No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruin which he had previously cleared?

Moreover, judging by the rewards provided by "Bai," the difficulty of this mission was likely far greater than that of the No. 9 Ruin.

"Bai, where is the location of the heritage?" Luo Feng inquired. He was definitely going to carry out the missions issued by Bai Chen. Regardless of whether this mission could enhance his strength or whether he personally liked it, he would do it... Unless the mission involved his fundamental principles and bottom line, in which case Luo Feng would hesitate, struggle, or even refuse.

Within his internal space, Bai Chen glanced into the distance at the Black-Crested Golden Eagle, which had successfully broken through to the Planetary Level 1, its size surging dramatically from over twenty meters to more than sixty meters. Upon hearing Luo Feng's inquiry, he replied,

"On the Australian continent, on a mist-shrouded island where a massive horde of Lord-level monsters gathers..." Bai Chen suddenly reacted as he said this. In the original story, the reason so many Lord-level monsters gathered there was because they were attracted by the Spirits of Nature and Muye Crystals.

Those Spirits of Nature were specifically cultivated by Babata, who had crushed a few Muye Crystals and used their powder to nurture them, simultaneously cultivating a Planetary-level Cloud-Touching Vine. As for that eight-legged sea monster emperor nurtured by the Muye Crystals, that was something that would happen a few years later.

Right now, it was only the beginning of January 2057. Following the timeline of the original story, Luo Feng should still be out in the wilderness, engaging in grueling combat with soldier-level and general-level monsters, honing his movement techniques and saber skills. He wouldn't enter the Elite Training Camp until April, and only head to the Fog Island in August to clash with Li Yao and discover the Spirits of Nature.

January was still a full seven months away from the occurrence of the Fog Island "Spirits of Nature" event in the original work.

This meant that at this moment, the Fog Island might simply be an ordinary lake island—devoid of Spirits of Nature, devoid of clusters of high-level monsters, and without any cultivated Cloud-Touching Vine.

"...Or it might not be a fog island at all, just an ordinary lake island. You will have to find that out for yourself. The Falling Ink Star Heritage is located at a depth of about fifteen thousand meters beneath the ground of that lake island," Bai Chen said after a moment of thought.

Although the Australian continent was vast, there probably weren't many special environments like lake islands. Luo Feng would likely find the target after flying around a few times in the No. 1 Fighter Jet, without wasting much time.

In the outside world, upon obtaining the information regarding the location of the Falling Ink Star Heritage, Luo Feng did not hesitate. He directly summoned the No. 1 Fighter Jet and issued the command to fly toward the Australian continent.

The blue-and-white fighter jet left a brilliant trail of shockwave exhaust in the air, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

...Inside the internal space, Bai Chen nodded in satisfaction upon seeing Luo Feng take action immediately.

The reason he suddenly issued this mission was, firstly, that Bai Chen felt Luo Feng's current strength was already substantial enough to hold weight on Earth. At the same time, the energy points he had stored were quite abundant, and he urgently needed to acquire more raw materials, spend them, and let the energy snowball.

Naturally, Babata was targeted by Bai Chen.

As a golden finger, after using his abilities hundreds or thousands of times, Bai Chen had become increasingly proficient and familiar with his powers.

Currently, when he used the ability [Creation], the prerequisite condition was basically to have corresponding informational or physical raw materials.

For example, when creating the "Giant Elephant Chapter," he used tens of thousands of Earth genetic martial artist manuals as "informational raw materials."

For example, the metallic "food" created for Luo Feng used the wreckage of an alien spaceship as "physical raw materials."

Creating something entirely from scratch consumed far too much energy! The smaller gaps were dozens or hundreds of times larger, while the larger ones could easily reach a thousandfold and beyond.

Therefore, during this period of time, aside from items and manuals such as the "Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill," metals, the enhancement of the Black Divine God Suit, the "312-Style Controller Secret Transmission," and so on, all other energy was stored by Bai Chen, without any unnecessary consumption, just to save up for a massive burst.

For instance, should he use it to enhance the Cloud-Touching Vine? The potential of the Cloud-Touching Vine was already extremely high, sufficient to accompany Luo Feng into the later stages, so enhancing it would definitely not be a loss. It would not only grant combat prowess but also provide a life-saving guarantee.

Or perhaps, enhance powerful secret techniques of the Falling Ink Star like the "Soul Seal," the "Void Tower," the "Six-Pointed Star," and others?

Any one of these secret techniques, if placed in the vast universe, would make World Lord-level powerhouses green with envy, to the extent that they would risk their lives for them.

Among them, the "Soul Seal" secret technique was not inferior even within the treasury of the Virtual Universe Company.

To be able to enter the treasury of the Virtual Universe Company and be used to nurture the human race's most outstanding geniuses and powerhouses—especially secret manuals—meant they possessed their very own unique advantages. Not a single secret manual among them was simple.

The "Soul Seal" could barely squeeze into the medium tier of Immortal-level secret techniques within the human secret manual treasury, making it entirely worthy of Bai Chen expending energy to optimize and enhance it.

Bai Chen pondered quietly to himself: once Luo Feng obtained the Falling Ink Star Heritage, which item should he choose as the target for enhancement?

Enhancing all of them was clearly unrealistic. Although the energy he currently had in reserve exceeded one hundred million, the unit value was far too small, so a large number didn't carry much practical use. The energy unit originally established by Bai Chen was: "'a lollipop capable of increasing Luo Feng's strength by one kilogram without side effects' equals one unit of special energy."

It was just like the exchange rate between the Zimbabwean dollar and the RMB, or the ratio between Silver Blue Coins and Universe Coins... One hundred million Silver Blue Coins couldn't even exchange for a single Universe Coin.

"When the energy numbers become too massive in the future, I'll establish a higher-tier 'currency' unit," Bai Chen thought to himself.

Otherwise, if completing a mission casually yielded trillions or quadrillions of energy points in the future, it would simply be too flashy and exaggerated.

....

Outside, the No. 1 Fighter Jet circled around the Australian continent, and before long, it located a lake island that closely matched the description provided by Bai Chen.

As a result, when Luo Feng flew down and used the Escape Shuttle to dig all the way down to a depth of over fifteen thousand meters, he spent half a day without finding the so-called Falling Ink Star Heritage site.

"This shouldn't be the place," Luo Feng shook his head, then returned to the No. 1 Fighter Jet and continued his search.

In the blink of an eye, an hour passed, and yet another lake island closely resembling the description came into Luo Feng's line of sight.

No, it was almost identical.

Dense white mist shrouded the massive lake and the island within it, presenting a rather mysterious appearance at a glance.

Luo Feng's intuition told him that this was the place he was looking for.

...Meanwhile, far below the Fog Island lake, at a depth of about fifteen thousand six hundred meters underground, amidst a thick rock layer inside a blood-red spaceship, a virtual energy lifeform shaped like a demonic loli suddenly shifted from her previously bored and numb expression, crying out in pleasant surprise and excitement,

"A human with a brain-domain width of 22?"

"After fifty thousand years, I've finally encountered a human whose talent is barely passable!!"
