The Two-Man Treasure Hunting Team
Lin Zhen's long-awaited attack shattered the dwarves' confidence.
If someone with the strength of the Black Hole Stage were to seriously fight Lin Zhen, it would be hard to say who would win. However, Lin Zhen's little tricks, combined with the power of the Phantom God Strike, completely turned the tide of the battle.
The dwarf made another mistake: he turned and ran away.
Lin Zhen didn't even chase for more than a few steps. With a wave of his hand, a powerful Gravity swept out, pulling the running dwarf back.
Seeing Lin Zhen's incredible skills, the dwarf was even more certain of his earlier guess: this person was definitely hiding his true abilities, and he was no match for him.
"Hey buddy! Go easy, go easy, I mean no harm, I'm a pacifist."
The dwarf struggled and twisted in Lin Zhen's hands.
"I am also a pacifist, as long as you tell me why you are here."
"You're a pacifist, you're a ruthless killer, I was just passing by. Ah! Stop, stop, stop, I'll talk, I'll talk."
Lin Zhen unleashed a ball of fire, instantly causing the dwarf to change his mind.
When the dwarf was placed on the ground, the first thing he did was tidy up his somewhat disheveled hair.
"Can I trust you?" the dwarf asked tentatively.
"As you can see, I have considerable strength. Perhaps the two of us can cooperate."
"What the hell? How did I end up meeting you? How did you know I'm from the Elven race? This is my first time on Baichuan Star! If it weren't for my grandmother's generation's indiscretions and the fact that I had foreign blood, I would definitely be a pure-blooded dwarf warrior."
Seeing that the dwarf was being long-winded, Lin Zhen simply raised his hand and forcibly removed the five rings from one of his hands.
"Why would a dwarf wear so many rings? They're mine now."
"Hey! Give it back to me!"
Lin Zhen scanned the ring with his Mental Power and discovered that it contained many Cosmic Crystal, as well as a number of other rare and precious items.
"As expected of the Spirit Race, they've managed to find so many treasures."
Lin Zhen casually returned the ring to the dwarf, a gesture that surprised the dwarf, who had expected Lin Zhen to forcibly take it from him.
"Now we can talk about cooperation. The two of us working together will definitely double our efficiency."
For the first time, the dwarf didn't shy away, and raised his head with a somewhat serious expression. "If you're not one to double-cross me, you can take a look."
"Of course not, and I believe you have the ability to protect yourself. When I caught you just now, you weren't afraid because you still have ways to fight back and protect yourself."
The dwarf finally nodded. "That's right, but I can only find the specific direction of the treasure, so it's not very efficient."
"That's alright. I have strong Mental Power. You find the general location, and I'll find the specific direction. We'll work together."
"Here you go!"
The dwarf raised his hand and pointed to a depression in the valley. "That depression, which is a kilometer wide, has a strong aura of treasure inside."
"Let's go take a look!"
Lin Zhen picked up the Yin-Yang Long Spear and walked ahead. The dwarf shuddered at the sight of Lin Zhen's Long Spear: "Your attack just now was truly monstrous. I originally wanted to strike first and kill you, but I was no match for you at all. What's your name?"
"Lin Zhen, what about you?"
My name is Nicole.
"Nicole?" Lin Zhen asked, turning around.
"Yeah, that's pretty much what everyone calls it."
Lin Zhen turned around, not mocking the dwarf's flushed face. His face remained expressionless, but he was secretly overjoyed. Such a short, fat man was actually named Nicole; the world was truly full of wonders.
Clearly, Lin Zhen's expressionless face pleased the dwarf, who said with some delight, "Buddy, you know what? You're the first person who hasn't laughed at me when they heard my name. Just for that, I think we can cooperate well."
"Of course, respecting someone's name is the bare minimum, and I think this name sounds nice, not bad."
"Really? You know, I have fifty-six older brothers. My mother wanted a girl, so she searched around and decided on this name. It wasn't changed after I was born. This name was given by a Human Race archmage who passed by our cave. I heard it involved astrology and fortune telling, and it cost a lot of Silver Coin and a jar of wine."
Amidst Nicole's rambling, the two arrived at a depression in the valley.
Following the dwarf's guidance, Lin Zhen began to project his Mental Power outwards.
"Wow! We're rich now!"
Lin Zhen's Mental Power covered several hundred meters, and he discovered a large number of Cosmic Crystal.
What he saw with his Mental Power could be immediately transmitted to Chris, Chris immediately made the most accurate judgment.
"Master, this is a region rich in Cosmic Crystal. There are 487,266 crystals in the east, 578,822 in the west, 399,821 in the south, and 577,369 in the north. Including the area under our feet, there are a total of 1.9 million Cosmic Crystal!"
Upon hearing this string of numbers, Lin Zhen was overjoyed.
The most satisfying way to find it is to find the nest of the Cosmic Crystal.
A single guidance from a dwarf could be equivalent to several days' worth of collecting. In total, 20 million stones are needed, and this one-tenth of that is already in hand.
"Are you good at digging?" Lin Zhen asked.
"I'm too good at it. You know, we dwarves live in underground burrows. Tian Sheng is a master at digging tunnels. Besides, I'm in the Black Hole Stage now. If I want, I can turn this whole area upside down in ten minutes."
"You don't need to turn the ground upside down. Just follow my instructions and focus your digging on certain areas."
Lin Zhen raised his hand, and countless holy lights transformed into specks of light from his palm, marking the key areas.
"Go ahead and dig down into those areas with glowing spots. I guarantee you'll have a great harvest."
"Alright! What worried me the most was where to start digging when faced with a lot of Cosmic Crystal. You know, when there are countless Cosmic Crystal around, my senses don't work."
Nicole said a few words, then suddenly jumped up, spinning the large axe in her hand downwards like an electric drill, rumbling as it drilled into the ground.
Lin Zhen wasn't idle either. He used his Long Spear as a digging tool, picking out the Cosmic Crystal one by one, and then used his Gravity to absorb them all.
However, Lin Zhen did not secretly put them into the Dark Star Space, but placed them all in his Space Ring. This was more honest, and cooperation between two people should be based on mutual trust.
Lin Zhen initially considered using his Mental Power Soul Lock completely control the dwarf, but this was not easy. The dwarf's spirit was highly concentrated, and he was also at the Black Hole Stage. If he went too far, the dwarf would definitely fight back desperately, and it was not worth it for some Cosmic Crystal.
Moreover, he sensed that the dwarf wasn't a bad person and that they might actually be able to be friends.
The two men's digging lasted for three hours. When they piled up the Cosmic Crystal, both of them covered in sweat, the dwarf's eyes lit up.
"Wow! This harvest is equivalent to what I've gained in half a month. I wish I had met you sooner."
"Haha! That's not bad either. As long as we join forces, a lot of wealth will be ours. Come on, let's divide this up, half for each of us."
Lin Zhen decided that each of them would take half of the Cosmic Crystal, but the dwarf suddenly said seriously, "That's not good. Although we both contributed, you are stronger than me. The stronger should get more benefits. I think I should take one-third, and you can take two-thirds."
Lin Zhen didn't want to take advantage of the dwarf and declined, but the dwarf insisted.
"Alright then, if we come across any treasures, I'll Xuan Ze priority. As for the Cosmic Crystal, we'll split them equally."
"Okay, but let me tell you, the treasures here aren't easy to find. There are a few places I feel have something special about them, but I don't dare to go there."
"Oh, where are they all from?" Lin Zhen easily separated the nearly two million Cosmic Crystal, dividing them in half for each person, and asked the question at the same time.
"There's a place on the Asura Road where Asura and the Asura King gather. It's a place fraught with danger, and there's a group of people from the Tongtian Tower at the entrance, preventing anyone from passing through. There must be something important there."
"The Tongtian Tower..." Lin Zhen thought for a moment, "What do you think their purpose is?"
"What else could it be? Cosmic Crystal are also abundant there. They were digging there and gradually eliminating the Asura warriors as a form of training."
"Will they finish quickly?"
"According to my estimate, they might be able to reach the Asura King in about ten days."
Lin Zhen nodded. "Okay, then let's wander around outside. We'll go take a look in eight or nine days."
"Okay, I'll go with you." There was some excitement in the dwarf's eyes. He had probably suffered at the hands of the people on the Tongtian Tower before, and now that Lin Zhen was with him, he planned to go back and take revenge.
This is only natural, so Lin Zhen neither exposed nor held it against her, and continued the excavation work with the dwarf Nicole.
With Nicole's guidance and Lin Zhen's precise exploration, the two of them were incredibly efficient.
On the first day, after giving half to Nicole, Lin Zhen received more than two million Cosmic Crystal.
The next day, Lin Zhen received another 1.8 million!
On the third day, 1.5 million!
Day four, three million!
On the fifth day, another two million!
On the sixth day, Lin Zhen returned ten million Cosmic Crystal to the staff of the Dimensional Universe Company, asking them to find the first page of the Golden Book.
Afterwards, Lin Zhen returned to the Asura Path and joined forces with the dwarves to continue the search.
Over the next three days, Lin Zhen acquired a total of five million Cosmic Crystal.
On the morning of the ninth day, the two of them went together to the deepest part of the Asura Path, where the Asura King and a large number of Asura lived, as well as many gangsters from the Tongtian Tower.
Even if there were no conflict between them, Lin Zhen would still snatch the Golden Book if it really existed there!
