Tyberos stared at the bounty mission glowing with mysterious light before him, a flicker of curiosity rising in his heart. He cautiously extended a finger and lightly tapped the screen, intending to uncover the secret hidden behind the mission.
But at that moment, an unexpected prompt appeared. Viewing this bounty mission actually required ten Star Coins!
This requirement instantly kindled Tyberos's curiosity even further. Under normal circumstances, most bounty missions could be freely browsed in detail merely by verifying one's access privileges, but this mission was so different that it was clearly intended to bar bounty hunters with relatively limited funds.
When Tyberos and the other Astartes received their personal terminals, ten thousand Star Coins had already been deposited into each of their accounts. That sum was enough for them to spend freely, at least to some extent.
Though he felt some reluctance over the ten Star Coins about to be deducted, Tyberos still pressed the confirmation button without hesitation. Ten Star Coins vanished from his account, and the detailed description of the mysterious bounty mission appeared before him.
A prominent line of text was clearly displayed on the screen: "Seeking Blackstone. The larger the unit of Blackstone, the higher the reward. One cubic meter of Blackstone can be exchanged for ten thousand Star Coins, with no upper limit."
At the sight of this, Tyberos's eyes lit up, and his heartbeat involuntarily quickened. If he could successfully find and bring back a sufficient amount of Blackstone, an extraordinarily generous fortune awaited him.
The bounty mission's introduction to Blackstone was detailed to a shocking extent. Tyberos studied the information word by word, and the more he read, the more alarmed he became. Its various descriptions of Blackstone bore an astonishing resemblance to a black planet he had once discovered by chance.
