"I can actually choose two items!"

Han Han was delighted. He guessed it must be related to his rating; after all, he had achieved an E-rank rating despite being a C/D-rank individual, so being able to choose two items was reasonable.

After a moment of thought, Han Han chose the last two options.

A seedling of Iron Vine Grass and a drop of Locke Divine Water; in terms of pure value, these two were the most precious.

Especially the Locke Divine Water.

One cubic kilometer was worth 8.9 million Hunyuan Units, making a single drop worth approximately 445 Cosmic Coins. However, that was for an Immortal; for people at their level, it was nothing less than a second life.

After he made his selection, two more items were added to the system space.

"Just wait a little longer."

"Once I return to the Thousand Tree District, I can try to take the items out of the system space." Han Han's consciousness withdrew from the illusory space, and he began to slowly absorb cosmic energy.

This simulation was a qualitative leap.

As long as he followed the steps from the simulation bit by bit, he would be able to escape Thousand Leaf Planet.

With the addition of a spaceship, Cuilang Coins, and a large amount of cultivation resources to assist him, he could definitely register for citizenship, but would he really be content with that?

Of course not!

That was Locke Divine Water worth 6.3 billion Hunyuan Units. No, at this point in time, Pansy had only just obtained it and hadn't spent a large amount on cultivating plant life yet, so its value was even higher.

If he lacked the strength, he would have to let it go.

But now, he could accumulate enough strength through repeated simulations and eventually finish off Pansy.

Killing to seize treasures was the most common occurrence in the world of Swallowed Star.

Control room...

Han Han's cultivation efficiency was detected by the system and finally presented before Hua Chuan.

"Still like this?"

Hua Chuan's expression grew slightly grave. "At this conversion efficiency, let alone Planetary Rank, it's difficult even to break through to the eighth stage of Apprentice Rank. Could it be... that he will suddenly break through again?"

"Damn it!"

"If I had known it would be this strange, I wouldn't have notified the master. Now, there's no way to hide it."

After speaking, Hua Chuan sat back in the metal chair behind him, resting his forehead on his hand as he fell into deep thought.

Originally, he had suspected that Han Han might have some secret, but he had maintained an indifferent attitude and ignored it. However, after a year had passed, he had only improved by one stage.

He panicked.

Yet, even after using the most advanced instruments to probe Han Han, he hadn't discovered anything wrong. In the end, he had no choice but to give him another bottle of Inferior Purple Light Dew. If that still didn't work, he would have to classify Han Han as an ordinary slave.

If that happened, not only would his reward be gone, but he would also be charged with the crime of improper inspection.

"Sigh~"

The endless worry finally turned into a sigh.

Meanwhile.

In the collection area for Three Illusion Leaf, a young man appeared somewhat unusual. His expression turned nervous, but he was trying his best to hide it.

It was Pansy!

However, at this time, he did not yet have his own name; Pansy was a name he would adopt later.

"Serial number 013-021635, collection quota met."

The Supervisor checked the Three Illusion Leaf that Pansy had collected. Seeing that not a single leaf was missing, he let him go. As for Pansy's nervousness...

Thousand Leaf Planet had been enslaved for many years, and there were countless slaves born here. Let alone nervousness, the Supervisor had seen even more exaggerated expressions, so why would he care about this?

Returning to his treehouse, he sat cross-legged in the center.

However.

As his force circulated within his body, a Silver Token merged with his physical form.

It was just that the monitoring system of the treehouse was too low-level to detect the existence of this Silver Token. After all, in essence, this Silver Token was a world-class storage item; even a Domain Lord might not necessarily possess one.

Pansy's consciousness entered the Silver Token, and at a glance, he discovered a lake inside with a diameter of over ten kilometers.

Looking closely.

At the edge of that lake, a seed had already sprouted, rooting itself into the soil at the bank to absorb life force.

"So fast!" Pansy thought to himself.

The Silver Token and that seed were items he had accidentally discovered while collecting Three Illusion Leaf. After he injected his spiritual energy into the Silver Token, he was surprised to find that it could actually merge into his body.

Afterward, he entered.

Whoosh~

The life force that had almost turned into mist made him feel unprecedented comfort. He realized that this was a treasure—a true, genuine treasure.

After deep consideration, he decided to keep it a secret.

As for the seed next to the Silver Token, he had casually tossed it into the soil beside the lake.

Yet, from the moment he discovered it, to his nervous expression fearing detection, and finally returning to check on it, only five hours had passed; who could have imagined that the seed had already sprouted.

"This is no ordinary plant!"

"Although I haven't entered, I can clearly feel that it possesses more spirituality than the Three Illusion Tree," Pansy speculated.

He attempted to touch it with his spiritual power.

Martial artists also possess spiritual telekinesis, though it is almost negligible compared to that of a Spirit Reader, and it would have been difficult for Pansy to achieve this with his current strength.

But where was he?

Right beside him was a lake of Locke Divine Water, and any expended spiritual telekinesis was replenished in an instant.

By accident, he completed the master-servant bond with the Iron Vine Grass.

"What a miraculous feeling."

Pansy only felt that he had discovered many things beyond his previous understanding, and at the same time, he began to develop thoughts different from other slaves; this was the budding of rebellion.

"Want to eat?"

"Eat, eat, eat as much as you want."

He felt the emotions transmitted to him by the Iron Vine Grass; it was incredibly intimate, as if it were his own child.

The Iron Vine Grass was devouring greedily.

Originally, cultivating an Iron Vine Grass to the ninth rank of the Star level was the absolute limit, and reaching the Universe level could be called a miracle, but in the original work, the Iron Vine Grass reached the ninth rank of the World Lord level!

Based on this alone, it was enough to prove the preciousness of the Locke Divine Water.

Following that.

Pansy also entered cultivation.

His spirit was able to permeate the Silver Token, and the life force it transmitted back greatly increased his cultivation speed; his cultivation talent was originally comparable to Han Han's, but now it was even faster than when Han Han was provided with Inferior Purple Light Dew.

"Boom~"

Apprentice Rank 2 achieved.

Time passed bit by bit.

During this year, Han Han had not changed anything, so every simulation almost stopped at the scene where he sought help from Pansy.

However, this was also fine.

Two items per time; excluding the mandatory Locke Divine Water, he chose options two, three, four, and five once each, and for the rest, he chose Cuilang Coins.

This was his initial capital.

It might not seem like much now, but these were essential for things like registering his citizenship.

"Beep!"

The metal gate opened.

Han Han looked over, and at the forefront were two Silver-Armored Guards, with Hua Chuan, who had brought him here in the first place, in the middle.

He had already grown accustomed to this scene in the simulations.

"Whoosh!"

Hua Chuan moved.

His figure turned into an afterimage, and immediately afterward, he slammed a fist into Han Han's chest; Hua Chuan's control of force was excellent, ensuring he wouldn't kill Han Han outright.

If he could, he would definitely want to kill Han Han!

Unfortunately, this was something he had reported himself, and he had no authority to decide the life or death of a slave with uncertain potential.

All his rage was poured into that single punch.

Han Han fell unconscious instantly.

Seeing this, Hua Chuan raised his right hand and waved it backward, "Take him away, he won't die."

"Yes."

As the words fell, the two Silver-Armored Guards stepped forward and took Han Han from the Central High Tower toward the Thousand Tree District.
