Chapter 1072: Chapter 178: Genetic Puzzle 3

Gao Gong not only gets free gains from players, as the Alliance Leader, during alliance wars, he can also draw a reward from the bosses killed by Alliance Influence.

However, this drawing is not targeted, but random.

The ten bosses previously group-fired by the starships gave him ten draws at once, with experience, specialization points, and even reputation.

This was the first time he knew that reputation could also be drawn.

But after all, it’s a boss, no matter how abstract, good things can still be drawn.

[You received a large Tier 3 Factory - Energy Skateboard (Silver) Production Line]

[You received ’Level 10 Blueprint - Strange Stable Anchor’]

[You received the coordinates for ’Tier 4 Mineral - Land of Crystal Core’]

These three draws made Gao Gong raise his eyebrows slightly.

To put it this way, if the Tier 2 Star Shuttle is called the interstellar motorcycle, an upgraded version of the flying car, then this ’Energy Skateboard’ is the upgraded version of the Star Shuttle.

It is a military-grade production line at Tier 3: Fine level, producing silver skateboards that have special effects like silver assimilation, short curvature shuttling, and energy absorption. With it, not only can one traverse interstellar battlefields at will, but it can also be relied upon to traverse some dangerous cosmic environments.

Its interstellar travel effect is on par with ordinary spaceships, though it’s a single-person version.

And this equipment, according to the system’s explanation, comes from a civilization called the ’Silver Shadow Civilization’, which is the military standard equipment of that civilization.

Gao Gong suspects that this so-called ’Silver Shadow Civilization’ is not a civilization within the star system but one of those conquered by the Interstellar Khan, after all, military technology, regardless of which Level 3 Civilization, is contraband among contraband, let alone a whole production line.

If this thing can be produced, paired with clone troops, the effect is probably equivalent to a pro max version of player air-drop.

As for that ’Strange Stable Anchor’, although it’s only Tier 2 technology, with the unique energy atmosphere of this planet, it can forcibly stack energy defense to Tier 3 level.

As for the last ’Land of Crystal Core’, although it’s just a coordinate, it slightly surprised Gao Gong.

’A Tier 4 Energy Ore, isn’t this Ascension Ore.’

Ascension Technology not only belongs to the technology tree but also is the crown of the technology tree. It is not only unique but also possesses various incredible abilities, such as processing a planet into a ’marble’, ascending consciousness to a higher dimension, completely changing species form, among which, the energy technology in Ascension Technology can even create ’Infinite Energy’.

For instance, the most classic ’Perpetual Motion Series’ of the Ancient Mechanical Civilization is a form of ’Infinite Energy’.

And an ’Energy Ore’ that can rival ’Ascension Technology’ must be related to ’Infinite Energy’.

After all, in the vast cosmos, there’s no end to wonders, with natural megastructures and marvels existing, there must also be a natural, non-polluting version of ’Infinite Energy’.

Just like the ’Primitive Ore’ Gao Gong once auctioned, the energy density alone could support a Star Destroyer.

But the ’Primitive Ore’ is not Infinite Energy, it is merely a mineral, not a mineral resource.

And ’mineral resources’ must, to some extent, possess something close to ’infinite rules’.

’Ten resource planets, having one or two with ’Ascension Ore’ is already amazing, having such ’Ascension Ore’ is equivalent to mastering a complete Dyson Sphere.’

In a sense, the ’Dyson Sphere’ can barely be considered a form of ’Infinite Energy’, after all, the lifespan of a mature fixed star can reach tens of billions of years, long enough for a civilization to evolve from the primitive era to an era of extinction.

However, the ’Dyson Sphere’ is not that easy to create; its construction difficulty far exceeds that of a Mechanical Planet—after all, in terms of scale, a fixed star is millions of times bigger than a planet, if not larger.

Knowing that this resource planet possesses ’Tier 4 Ore’, now Gao Gong’s gaze is much like the players’, unabashedly hot.

Of course, he is much more measured than the players because, after all, he only has one life.

At least before the Planet Cannon is destroyed, he cannot possibly descend onto the planet.

"Players have been scavenging garbage for quite some time now, it’s about time to do some real business."

He doesn’t believe in the players’ personalities; he’s never thought that players have any personality.

But he believes in the number of bags players have.

Without illuminating Space Technology, players don’t have something like a spatial storage bag.

Gao Gong thought for a while and opened the forum, intending to see what stunts these Celestial Calamities were up to.

As a result, he still underestimated the players’ propensity for stirring trouble.

The post pinned at the top of the forum was like this:

"Family, I was hired by the enemy’s big boss, how do I complete this mission?"

The poster even posted a selfie, and in the photo, besides himself, there was Old Walter, impeccably coiffed with silver hair, dressed in noble attire.

The comment section maintained its abstract style—

’Whoa, this old dude Walter’s kinda handsome, can we catch him and keep him?’

’To the guy above, do you plan on retiring him? Are your parents aware of how filial you are?’

’What’s there to consider, give us the coordinates, and we’ll blow him up together.’

’Wait, something’s off, why is this old boss only level 60, wasn’t Old Deng at least level 90 max? Is he on a Civil Servant Route?’

Now most players are Tier 2. If they don’t exceed level 20, they can see most NPC attributes, and the poster voluntarily revealed this Old Walter’s attributes, which were far weaker than expected.

’Huh? Why is his blood volume only half left, did the poster attack him?’

’Why is there a "Cloned Personality" after Old Deng’s name, what’s that about?’

’Got it! He’s a clone!’

’No, it’s a whole clone family, and you’re only seeing it now?’

’So, what now, are we supposed to defect to another alliance? Don’t joke, first of all, I’m not that kind of person, and second, your skin looks too bad, I might consider joining if it’s something better.’

’Ugly, huh, [Image1][Image2]’

’Whoa, did they release Green Widow doujin already, send me a private message.’

’Cough cough, brothers, set the doujin aside, is anyone interested in this mission, get the mission first and we can decide later whether to blow up the boss, okay?’

’Interested ones PM me.’

The poster Green-skinned Mushroom Stew weighed in.

Soon, a horde of @mentions appeared, of course, there were also players busy posting other stuff.

’Buying bags, buying bags, one High-level Energy Stone for ten bags.’

’I have tons of bags, buy now while stocks last, though, the price is a tiny bit high! [Image]’ Baozi posted a cheeky emoji of counting money.

’Whoa, it’s you again! Jerk Bao, why are you everywhere!’

’I’m done for, I’m surrounded by Baozi.’

...

Green-skinned Mushroom Stew closed the forum, chuckling as they turned to Old Walter:

"Don’t worry, boss, as long as the price is right, I’ll definitely bring a bunch of people to take on the other knock-off goods."

Old Walter smiled without saying a word.

Indeed, just as Green-skinned Mushroom Stew said, in just an hour, thousands of players had gathered nearby, looking at Old Walter with peculiar expressions, whispering among themselves.

Old Walter finally spoke up:

"As long as you help me start the dinner party, I will give all of my property to you all, and am even willing to offer this planet to your master."

A player plucked up the courage to speak:

"No need to give it to that rascal Old G, just give it to us."

Another player nodded earnestly:

"Old Deng, I mean old brother, as long as the price is right, it’s not impossible for us to switch sides."

"Yeah, that’s right, pay us well, and this boss gets wrecked!"

"I want to make General Quel my wife!"

"Wow, dude, heavy taste, since you want General Quel, I guess I’ll take Vice President Huang."

"Whoa, and you call my taste heavy, you’d even go for a menopausal woman!?"

"Stop the nonsense, where’s the mission?"

Finally, a hint of surprise flashed in Old Walter’s eyes as he sincerely remarked:

"It’s truly a blessing for your boss to have warriors like all of you!"
