Chapter 317: Massive Resources, Departure to Headquarters
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Training, resting, playing games, reading novels, eating big meals…
Every day of special training in the base was so fulfilling and boring.
On the second day after the end of the team internal competition, Butterfly and the others began to eat… ahem, absorb a large number of high-level resources and cultivate seriously.
In the beginning, Su Hao didn’t care about the supply of resources.
He did not lack ordinary or high-level resources.
In total, he still had around twenty to thirty thousand credits and contribution points.
But…
Buy top-grade resources at a discount?
Resources of all varieties?
How nice!
These resources were important to Su Hao’s respective sprites. After asking the Heavenly King to help apply, they would arrive in a few days.
Cheapness was secondary, the main point was…
Many top-notch resources could not be bought even with money and credits.
They were truly rare resources!
Su Hao thought again…
With his current savings, he could probably only buy one or even half of a Level 1 treasure called “Sun Essence”.
“Hmm… Alright, a 10% discount is also very important.”
Since there was such an opportunity, Su Hao listed out the materials he… his sprites needed one by one.
He had also unlocked the corresponding advancement plan for the Big Fat Bear, Dumb Unicorn, and Eternal Night Glory Concubine.
He could not miss out on this free opportunity.
It was the same for the others. Even though most of them were second-generation heirs, they could not resist the temptation of high-level and top-level resources.
The difference was…
From time to time, Heavenly King Lie Kong and the others would give suggestions and corresponding cultivation resources according to the characteristics of the sprites.
Su Hao was different.
If he needed any resources, he would write the report himself.
The report was quite particular. It needed to start with the current situation of the sprite. When it came to cultivation, it needed a “verification” of some high-level and top-notch resources.
“The report would basically be a thesis if it was any more detailed, had an additional ten thousand words, and included supporting data…
Forget it, for the sake of top-notch resources, Su Hao could only let his fingers suffer a little.
The next day, he sent the report to Heavenly King Lie Kong.
It seemed more ceremonial to take it personally.
After all, it was a resource that was priceless.
“Heavenly King Ji, here is my report.”
All of this?
Heavenly King Lie Kong, who was also a middle-aged man with the surname of Ji, was dumbfounded.
“How many copies did you write?”
“Only three for top-level resources, the rest are for high-level resources.”
Heavenly King Lie Kong: “???”
Top-grade resources! Many were rare treasures that couldn’t be found anywhere else and were priceless!
Su Hao’s sprites were merely extraordinary-level, and he had no use at all for so many top-level resources!
But…
A few days ago, Su Hao had also applied for two top-notch resources and seven to eight high-level resources.
Heavenly King Lie Kong did not react positively to those.
He was close to telling Su Hao that top-notch resources weren’t something that you could get just because you wanted them.
The application needed to be feasible and practical. The application would only go through if none of the resources would be wasted and would be used effectively.
However…
But only the reports impressed Heavenly King Lie Kong, but even the professional evaluators were impressed.
Su Hao had indeed been able to prove that the sprites could make good use of the resources at this stage!
“I didn’t expect you to have the future development of sprites planned out!” Heavenly King Lie Kong was secretly shocked. He felt that in less than a year or two, Su Hao would be able to figure out a plan suitable for advancing his sprites to an even higher level.
As for the other 17 people and the dozens of sprites, they probably have yet to come up with any plans.
What else could Lie Kong say? He could only take the thumb drive and send it to the evaluation department.
…
In Dragon City, the day after the report was submitted, the resources Su Hao wanted were delivered.
The three top-notch resources were all treasures that Butterfly and the others needed for their evolution.
He opened the first special box, and white smoke emerged with a hum.
Inside was a palm-sized crystal container that contained a treasure that looked like liquid and gas.
It was white and gray, constantly surging.
It was one of the three top-notch resources needed for the “Illusionary Mist”, Butterfly’s evolution.
Su Hao compared the two different pathways of “Illusion” and “Cloud Dream”. Then, he analyzed Butterfly’s current development and chose “Illusion” as its development direction.
But he didn’t plan on leaving out some of the “Cloud Dream” methods and secret manuals either.
He wanted the best of both.
Butterfly opened its bright big eyes and observed the “Illusory Mist”. It approached and stretched out a finger to touch the grayish-white treasure.
In an instant, the “Illusory Mist” that originally looked like liquid immediately turned into a gaseous state, floating up like a wisp of smoke.
Butterfly was shrouded in smoke. Its body was ethereal, like a dream.
If a perceptive sprite was present, it would be able to see Butterfly with the naked eye but would not be able to sense Butterfly with its perception.
After it completely absorbed the “Illusory Mist” and channeled it into its body, Butterfly’s concealment ability would increase by two to three times.
This was the power of top-notch resources!
“After Butterfly absorbs the initial stages of the” Illusory Mist “, it won’t be so easily discovered the next time it fights with a Sky Dragon.”
Su Hao thought.
When he glanced at the interface, it showed “Absorption in progress”. He estimated that there were still dozens of minutes left.
After absorbing and completely refining, two of the three main materials needed for Butterfly’s advancement were already satisfied.
The remaining type was similar to the Dazed Crow’s “Flaming Crown”, a non-absorbing treasure that could only be used during its advancement.
As for Butterfly, apart from the three main materials, it was still far from the conditions needed for advancement.
For example, the illusion with real destructive power had yet to be completed… The illusory body could only be considered a prototype.
Therefore, Su Hao couldn’t make the wool blankets and other materials needed for the “Flaming Crown”.
He had yet to meet all the requirements.
“Speaking of which.” Su Hao touched his chin. “Advanced evolution usually requires three types of main materials and there’s also patterns to be found. One is the complete absorption type, the other is the semi-absorption type, and the last is the pure hanging material.”
The “Transformation Bead” and “Feather of the Fire God” were considered part of the semi-absorption type.
These were portable tools. However, they also required research and could not be immediately used to evolve sprites.
“Then, the second item.”
He looked at the Big Fat Bear. “Stand properly.”
“Sob ~!”
The Big Fat Bear stood upright in the courtyard, but its eyes kept glancing at the second box.
Su Hao took the box to another corner and didn’t open it directly. Instead, he first set up a camera to record the sprite’s absorption of top-notch resources.
Then, he opened the sealed box.
Immediately, dazzling blue-purple light spread out, and traces of thunder arcs could vaguely be seen flashing.
Inside the box was sealed a treasure the size of a mouse and the shape of a fruit core.
There was nothing special about the top-notch resource “Thunder Core”. Basically, after absorbing and refining it, Big Fat Bear could form a Thunder Core in its body.
What was worth mentioning was that the Big Fat Bear only needed two main materials to advance. Its requirements were also much lower than Butterfly and Dazed Crow.
The bear was already ready to evolve given its current accumulation.
But Su Hao wouldn’t let the bear evolve.
“Absorb it.”
“Howl—”
The Big Fat Bear pounced down.
…
…
One box, two boxes…
Su Hao only bothered to open the treasure chest that contained top-notch resources himself. As for the other high-level resources, he gave the sprites a look to indicate—they had already matured, they should learn to open them themselves.
“Fufu ~”
Fufu obediently went to a box with a light-element symbol printed on it. It opened the combination lock with a fixed password and opened the box with the dark-element symbol beside it.
At the same time, it took out light-element and dark-element resources, swallowed them, and absorbed them. Its long hair danced, and light and dark energy lingered around it. It immediately entered a cultivation state.
In comparison, the current Big Fat Bear didn’t swallow the “Thunder Core”. Instead, it bit it in its mouth, as if it was trying to taste it.
Su Hao slapped his forehead.
On the other side, the Dumb Unicorn was circling around a special box. It would occasionally poke its head out and look at Su Hao, full of eagerness and anticipation.
That’s right, the third treasure chest contained the advanced materials of the Dumb Unicorn.
The treasures it needed were also relatively special.
There were three items in total, some of the items would help with Dumb Unicorn’s concentration of the bloodline.
One of the items was even top-notch material.
As for the Eternal Night Glory Concubine, there weren’t any more items left for it.
No stock.
If Su Hao had a choice, he would definitely give more items to the obedient Fufu first.
“Neigh ~?”
Dumb Unicorn turned its head away.
Su Hao slapped its head. “Calm down and aim at the camera.”
…
The special training, or rather, the paywall training that absorbed a large amount of resources, lasted for half a month.
It was March.
The Sprite Trainers of the Dragon Nation team prepared to set off for the venue of the competition for the inheritance, which was also the headquarters of the Union.
“I heard that its headquarters is on a huge ice-covered island in northern Europe?”
Su Hao didn’t know much about the headquarters either.
He only knew that there were several very important World Entrances there. The area where the inheritance was located was also near the Union headquarters.
“Are you all ready?”
At the entrance of the base, four big bosses appeared one after another.
They were prepared to escort them to the Union headquarters.
“Since you’re ready, let’s go.”
As soon as Heavenly King Lie Kong finished speaking, a huge shadow covered the sky.
A group of Sprite Trainers couldn’t help but look up. They saw an incomparably huge and mighty big bird suddenly appear in the sky. Its wings spread out and covered the sun.
The big bird didn’t deliberately emit power, but there were still many sprites trembling.
Monarch rank, Great Roc!
Spreading its wings and soaring 90,000 miles, it was truly a legendary vehicle!
The Great Roc didn’t land, probably because it was too big.
Under Heavenly King Lie Kong’s lead, the dozen-odd people from the Dragon Nation team used their own methods to fly into the sky. The heavier and bigger sprites that couldn’t fly were wrapped in the water bubbles created by Heavenly King Gong Ling and flew up together.
Well, it seemed…
Heavenly King Duan Ya was also in the bubble?
The higher they went, the closer they got to the Great Roc, the more they could feel the shocking aura brought by the huge creature.
When it spread open its wings, it was estimated to be one to two hundred meters long. Just the back of the giant roc was equivalent to a runway.
Its feathers were also longer than an entire human body.
Standing on the broad back of the giant roc was like standing on a floating island. Not only was it stable, but the wind was also being blocked. No wonder the leader of the Supernova Cup was Heavenly King Lie Kong.
He truly deserved to be the leader with such a large passenger plane.
Standing on the bird’s head and looking into the distance, a certain Heavenly King with a tall flat-top haircut suddenly sneezed.
He had a gut feeling that someone was talking about him, but he didn’t know who it was.
Shaking his head, Heavenly King Lie Kong waved his hand.. “Set off, Target Union headquarters.”
