Wang Cheng didn't let Jiang Mingyue keep asking. Before long, under his watchful gaze, she drank down an entire dose of the Domain Lord-level potion.
"How do you feel?" Wang Cheng wasn't sure what would happen, so he asked curiously.
"A little cold," Jiang Mingyue said. Then a boundless drowsiness swept over her.
Thud!
Jiang Mingyue toppled toward the ground, but Wang Cheng reacted quickly and caught her in time.
Her body temperature was dropping rapidly, and her breathing had grown extremely faint.
Could something have gone wrong? Wang Cheng worried. Jiang Mingyue had looked after him for three months, after all. He couldn't simply ignore it if something happened to her.
However, Wang Cheng's worries soon eased. As he watched, wisps of purple energy continuously emerged from Jiang Mingyue's body, gradually forming a huge cocoon that wrapped around her.
Before long, the cocoon was complete, and streams of Cosmic energy began to flow toward it.
"Hmm, looks like everything's going smoothly!" Wang Cheng breathed a sigh of relief. After a moment's thought, he moved the cocoon into Jiang Mingyue's room.
Tomorrow was the first day of the lunar month, and someone might come by to pay their respects. This strange object obviously wasn't something he could leave in the living room.
"This really takes some getting used to!" Wang Cheng glanced around the empty villa. He regretted giving Jiang Mingyue the potion today. He should've waited until after the New Year, at least!
"Oh well, what's done is done..." Wang Cheng thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up.
"Has it been almost five months since my last Opportunity Draw?" he wondered. With a thought, a Virtual Screen appeared before him.
Name: Wang Cheng Age: 26 Evolution Level: Stellar level four (Thirty Times Gene Level) Opportunity Points: 142 Treasure: World Ring Manuals: Nine Heavens Thunder Blade, Myriad Ages Void, Wind God Shadow... Secret Realms: None
"With 142 Opportunity Points, why wait any longer?" Looking at his balance, Wang Cheng made up his mind.
"For the first draw... Hmm, I'll use 40 Opportunity Points." Wang Cheng felt flush with wealth, so he put in forty points at once.
The last time he'd drawn an opportunity, he'd spent only 23 points at most.
With 40 Opportunity Points, the search range would definitely be much wider than before!
And so it proved. At a mere thought from Wang Cheng, the forty points vanished, and an invisible force rapidly spread outward.
In just a moment, it had reached the entire Ganwu Universe Country. Its expansion showed no sign of slowing—in fact, it continued outward even faster.
Soon, lines of text appeared on the screen before Wang Cheng.
[Spent 40 Opportunity Points. Opportunity Grasping successful!] [Opportunity Category: Treasure] [Opportunity Name: SDU01--000001 Model Detector] [How to Use: Intelligent System control] [Effect: Can detect the traces of all living beings and objects within a radius of one billion kilometers, provided they are within the detector's capabilities]
"Well, look at that—a detector!" Wang Cheng sensed that an ordinary-looking armguard had appeared in the space connected to his consciousness.
There was no doubt that this armguard was the detector with the incredibly long name!
"It can detect objects and living beings within a billion kilometers. This must be a large-scale detector!" Wang Cheng thought for a moment, then began recalling the contents of Swallowed Star.
With his astonishing Brain Domain Width, his memories of those details were remarkably clear.
"An SDU01--000001 Model Detector? Could it really be that thing?" Wang Cheng couldn't help but feel surprised. After searching his memories, he really did recall how much this model was worth.
The Virtual Universe Company's exchange price for it was 50 billion points.
And the Virtual Universe Company's points were incredibly valuable: one point was worth a Hunyuan Unit of wealth!
As for Hunyuan Units...
One Hunyuan Unit was worth 10,000 billion Cosmic Crystals.
One Cosmic Crystal was worth roughly 3,300 Ganwu Coins.
One Ganwu Coin equaled a thousand Black Dragon Coins, or a million Silver Blue Coins.
Even though the Silver Blue Empire was the lowest-ranked Universe Country, its currency was probably still worth far more than Earth Coins.
One Silver Blue Coin equaled 1,000 Earth Coins—that wasn't an exaggeration.
In other words, one Hunyuan Unit was roughly equivalent to three hundred quintillion Earth Coins.
And this detector was worth 50 billion Hunyuan Units!
In truth, comparing Hunyuan Units to Earth Coins was meaningless. Hunyuan Units were an extremely valuable currency. An ordinary star system was generally worth between 1,000 and 10,000 billion Universe Coins. In other words, even a star system like the Milky Way Galaxy would fetch less than one Hunyuan Unit at auction!
Furthermore, most King level Immortals weren't worth 50 billion Hunyuan Units in total. In other words, ordinary King level Immortals couldn't afford this detector. Only the strongest among them might be able to use one!
"This detector is definitely top-of-the-line!" Wang Cheng sighed. His 40 Opportunity Points hadn't gone to waste.
"Hmm, let's go again!" Wang Cheng thought for a moment, then put in 50 Opportunity Points.
The 50 points were spent, and the search range grew even larger. Soon, lines of text appeared before Wang Cheng once more.
[Spent 50 Opportunity Points. Opportunity Grasping successful!] [Opportunity Category: Permanent Secret Realm] [Opportunity Name: Outer Realm Battlefield] [How to Use: Enter with your consciousness] [Effect: Practical combat training]
"It's a Secret Realm!" Wang Cheng paused in surprise. Some information entered his mind, and he quickly understood the details of this opportunity.
The opportunity category was "Permanent Secret Realm," unlike the "Real-time Secret Realm" from last time. A Permanent Secret Realm could be entered at any time and revisited as often as desired, but each entry cost Opportunity Points!
The method of entry was the same: Wang Cheng's consciousness would cross the Endless Void and form a new body inside the Secret Realm!
There were also requirements for entering this Secret Realm. Reaching Cosmic level was the minimum requirement, while Immortal was the highest level allowed.
In other words, those at Planet level or Stellar level, as well as Cosmic Venerables, Cosmic Lords, True Gods, and others, couldn't enter this Secret Realm!
"Is it because the weakest warriors in the Outer Realm Battlefield are at Cosmic level, while the strongest are King level Immortals?" Wang Cheng understood. He also knew that he couldn't enter the Secret Realm yet. After all, he was only at Stellar level!
Wang Cheng didn't dwell on an opportunity he couldn't use yet. Soon, he turned his attention back to the draw before him.
After two draws, his 142 Opportunity Points had dwindled to just 52.
Wang Cheng thought it over, then gritted his teeth and put in another 50 points.
Humm!
The invisible force rapidly spread outward. In the blink of an eye, it reached a vast continent near the heart of Human Territory, then entered a Cosmic Channel near the continent.
On the other side of the Cosmic Channel lay the most important place in the entire Human Race within the Original Universe: the Initial Universe!
The invisible force descended, yet no one noticed. Even City Lord of Chaos, who ruled over the Initial Universe, remained completely unaware.
Until—
In Chaos City, within the Initial Universe, one of the Chaos Tablets suddenly vanished.
Boom!
Boundless Chaos Qi descended.
"Who is it?!" A furious roar rang out. The One-Eyed Old Man guarding outside and the few people studying the Chaos Tablet inside were instantly overcome by terror.
At the same time, on distant Earth, Wang Cheng stared wide-eyed at the lines of text appearing on the Virtual Screen before him.
[Spent 50 Opportunity Points. Opportunity Grasping successful!] [Opportunity Category: Treasure] [Opportunity Name: Universe Chaos Tablet] [How to Use: Study] [Effect: Can be used to study the Space-Time Law]
"Holy crap!" Wang Cheng could clearly sense that a massive Stone Tablet had appeared in the space connected to his consciousness. He could also feel the profound aura radiating from it.
At that moment, Wang Cheng had only one thought: Now that I've grabbed this opportunity, can I return it?
After a long while in a daze, Wang Cheng finally came back to his senses.
"So it's the Universe Chaos Tablet!" Wang Cheng sighed.
He knew that there were Fifty-Two Chaos Tablets in total in the Initial Universe, the most important territory of the Human Race. Each Chaos Tablet represented a path that could lead at least to becoming a Universe Overlord.
The tablets were normally kept in the Initial Universe, where many powerful members of the Human Race went to study them. The opportunities to do so were extremely limited, and each person was allowed only seven days per visit!
That alone showed how precious the Fifty-Two Chaos Tablets were!
Among the Fifty-Two Chaos Tablets, the Universe Chaos Tablet ranked near the very top. It had been left behind by City Lord of Chaos, and its inscriptions described the mysteries of the two great laws of Time and Space.
Anyone who fully comprehended the contents of this Chaos Tablet could easily become a Cosmic Lord!
However, as precious as the Chaos Tablet was, Wang Cheng didn't want this opportunity at all.
For one thing, although Wang Cheng wasn't prepared to fight and die for the Human Race in this universe, he still hoped that, as a human, he could see humanity here flourish.
One Universe Chaos Tablet might not mean much to the Human Race as a whole, but its sudden disappearance would certainly cause a great deal of trouble.
Besides, this opportunity was a hot potato!
A treasure this important—could he really bring it out and use it?
He couldn't!
He had no idea whether the Chaos Tablet had some kind of tracking mechanism on it!
Although Hu Yanbo had concealed Earth's surroundings with a Space Secret Method, that little bit of concealment was nothing before the entire Human Race!
If the Chaos Tablet had a tracking mechanism and Wang Cheng took it out to use, he'd be practically asking to die!
Of course, Wang Cheng's Opportunity Grasping System was extremely mysterious, and the space it provided should be able to block outside attempts to track it. So, as long as Wang Cheng didn't take the Chaos Tablet out, there shouldn't be a problem!
