Yu Yuan's gaze settled on the loan agreement and USB drive he had found in the Casino Manager's Office safe.
He read through the agreement. A member of a polar research team had lost control while gambling at the Casino and traded a USB drive containing a Polar Resource Survey Map and information on a polar research station for chips worth one million.
The loan agreement itself was worthless.
Yu Yuan plugged the USB drive into his computer.
A huge folder soon appeared on the screen.
The first file concerned the Polar Resource Survey Map.
It showed a continent, with detailed distributions of glaciers, freshwater, and mineral resources. It also marked the habitats and data of various native species.
The data covered not only animals but plants, Marine Creatures, and even ancient organisms discovered in the glaciers.
It encompassed most of the polar region's ecosystem.
It also contained information on genetic experiments conducted in that extreme environment, among other resources.
"Whoa. That gambler was definitely no ordinary research team member," Yu Yuan said in surprise.
How could an ordinary team member have access to such comprehensive information?
Yu Yuan scanned the Polar Resource Survey Map with his Positioning Watch.
He probably wouldn't need it, but the Endless Cold Wave was about to arrive. What if it proved useful?
Beyond the survey data, the drive held information on the polar research station, along with procurement records and standards for equipment used in the polar region.
Yu Yuan opened the files.
A directory of station information labeled [Far-Sea Polar Research Station] appeared before him.
He skimmed it quickly, searching for anything valuable.
Experience had taught him that highly technical documents like these were likely to yield something useful.
That was especially true of a polar research station, a structure remarkably similar to
