"I never deign to do small tasks. As long as you follow me and work hard, I guarantee you'll earn merits from several expeditions."
Leo flicked the three medals on his chest; the dazzling wizard medals radiated an alluring light, which was more convincing than any words.
"It all depends on the master's direction."
If the two hundred wizards had only obeyed Leo Leo out of consideration for his status before, they are now completely subservient to him, doing whatever Leo says.
Anyone who can truly bring them benefits is right, no matter what they say.
If Leo said that farts smell good, they would all agree that they smell good.
Self-interest is the strongest and most unbreakable chain!
Leo glanced at Yaoyao, Yaoyao, holding her drink, immediately pointed arrogantly in a direction within the asteroid belt and shouted, "Go in this direction!"
Under Yaoyao's command, the warship flew rapidly towards the next location. No wizard paid any attention to the resource prompts from the warships they encountered along the way.
It's a waste of time to even glance at it now. We'd be better off getting to the Planetary Core's core sooner. If the Planetary Core is there, who would bother digging up those worthless junk?
"Stop, we've arrived."
With Yaoyao her little paw, Yao Yao brought the warship to an immediate stop.
In front of the warship was another large piece of celestial debris. As soon as the warship approached, the monitors displayed the weight, location, and optimal extraction route of the Planetary Core.
The Planetary Core contained in this celestial body weighs 4,000 tons, several times more than the previous 1,200 tons!
Leo glanced at Yaoyao, but only saw Yaoyao's drink cup and the still-rocking recliner; Yaoyao was gone.
"Let's begin."
There was no need to waste any more time for Yaoyao; Leo gave the order directly.
The wizards controlled the mechanical slaves, rapidly excavating tunnels through the asteroid fragments.
An hour later, Yaoyao appeared in the armchair, crossed her legs, and made slurping noises while sucking on a straw.
Leo first glanced at the Planetary Core weight on the monitor; it remained unchanged at 4,000 tons. However, when Leo opened the Shadow Space,
What was just a 300*300*300 cube has now become a 450*450*450 cube!
In just one hour, its volume increased by 3.375 times!
One thousand kilograms of the Planetary Core can expand the Shadow Space by 10 cubic meters. In this one hour, Yaoyao stole 3,375 tons of the Planetary Core's core!
Leo was shocked by the number, and even more shocked by Yaoyao's methods. How did he manage to steal more than 80% of the Earth's Planetary Core, which was only 4,000 tons in total, without the weight displayed on the monitor changing?
Seeing the stunned expression on Leo's face, Yaoyao grinned, showing her big teeth.
Leo patted Yaoyao's little head. Judging from Yaoyao's method of theft, he could probably steal the entire Planetary Core of the planet without being discovered.
If it were just that the numbers on the monitor didn't change, it wouldn't be a problem. But when a month later, 4,000 tons of the Planetary Core appeared in front of him, Leo secretly glanced at Yaoyao.
If 4,000 tons of the Planetary Core are all here, where did Yaoyao get the 3,375 tons of Planetary Core she stole?
"Complete the record and send it back."
The 4,000-ton Planetary Core was so important that Leo made sure to keep detailed records in case of any problems that might arise, so that if anything went wrong, he wouldn't be held responsible.
The two hundred wizards looked at the huge Planetary Core before them and danced with excitement. The merit of mining this one Planetary Core alone was enough to ensure that they would not have to worry about energy crystals for a hundred years.
"Next location."
Yaoyao a flick of her little paw, Yao Yao sent the warship hurtling forward in the next direction.
This time, Leo was even more careful. The more Yaoyao stole, the more careful he became. If he were discovered, he would also face severe punishment for stealing so many Planetary Core.
As the mechanical slaves diligently dug the tunnel, Yaoyao had disappeared, reappeared, and Leo carefully opened the Shadow Space.
My heart skipped a beat from the tension and excitement. The Shadow Space, which was just 450 meters in length, width and height, had now expanded to 600 meters.
Another 3,000 tons of the Planetary Core were stolen by Yaoyao Yao without anyone noticing. Leo was somewhat impressed by Yaoyao's methods.
If anyone offends me in the future, sending Yaoyao out will definitely allow me to steal all their wealth.
Looking at the Shadow Space that was 600 meters long, wide, and high, Leo excitedly stuck out his tongue and licked his lips.
Originally, they thought stealing a fist-sized piece of the Earth's Planetary Core would be enough, but now they've exceeded their target. If this trend continues, it's not impossible for the Shadow Space to expand several hundred times.
Since they couldn't figure out Yaoyao's methods anyway, they'd be doing themselves a disservice if they didn't steal as much as possible while they had this opportunity.
But when Leo looked at Yaoyao, Yaoyao shook her head.
Leo raised an eyebrow, but Yaoyao shook her head and patted her tummy, making a gesture as if she was full.
Leo's heart sank. Yaoyao's actions indicated that his methods had reached their limit, and he only had three chances to steal.
Leo's mood instantly shifted from great joy to great sorrow, but he still patted Yaoyao's head. He thought that she was already very, very good at what she had done, and if she were to become greedy, that would be her problem.
There will always be opportunities in the future. At worst, I can wait until I'm strong enough to destroy a planet and then dig it up myself, so Yao Yao won't have to Yaoyao that trouble to steal it.
Although Yaoyao could no longer steal, the area of Shadow Space remained at a volume of 600 meters in length, width, and height.
However, in order to avoid attracting unnecessary attention, Leo, under Yaoyao's command, led two hundred wizards to dig into the Planetary Core day and night.
Three years later, Leo returned to the mothership, citing his sufficient military achievements.
They have already excavated half of the planet's Planetary Core, leaving the remaining half for other warships to excavate. Their diligent work over such a long period of time is enough to prove that Leo has no bad intentions and is solely motivated by military merit.
The two hundred wizards were disappointed by Leo 'Leo departure, as it meant they would lose the opportunity to earn a lot of battle merits. However, they could not stop him and could only watch Leo departing figure and shed tears in secret.
Leo strode towards his room. If he hadn't been cautious, he would have returned before Yaoyao was able to steal the Planetary Core.
Seeing Benji guarding the Tree of Life, Leo praised him generously, ensuring Benji didn't feel neglected.
Then Leo asked Yaoyao a question he had held back for three years, "How did you acquire this ability?"
Leo didn't believe that if Yaoyao had such abilities before, he would have refrained from using them and would have been stealing all over the place long ago.
The fact that he's using it now only means that he recently acquired this ability!
What happened recently that gave Yaoyao such powerful abilities? Leo thought about the recent events many times, but he still couldn't figure it out.
Yaoyao's ability was very strange and could not be understood by conventional thinking. This ability clearly carried the characteristics of the Shadow World.
What are you saying? I don't understand.
Yaoyao stood up straight, looking at Leo with a blank expression. Her feigned ignorance made Leo open his mouth to ask what she wanted, but he helplessly closed his mouth again. Yaoyao's behavior clearly indicated that she didn't want to tell him.
"Never mind,"
Instead of dwelling on Yaoyao's question about this ability, Leo, with a mischievous grin, took out the crystal ball and initiated a language request to a wizard.
On another mothership, Roderick was training his physique when he suddenly felt the crystal ball in his wizard ring vibrate. He had a very bad feeling about it, and his brow twitched wildly, as if a bad thing was about to happen, like a creditor coming to his door.
Upon taking out the crystal ball, he saw that it was a language request sent by Leo. Even the Level Three Body Refinement Wizard, known for his powerful physique, subconsciously trembled.
"Master Leo, is there anything I can help you with?"
"If you hadn't contacted me, I would have sent it to you already. I want to thank you again, Master, for your guidance of Tao Mia. The appearance of an Elemental Body Refinement Wizard has had an extraordinary inspirational effect on our academy. I really don't know how to thank you enough."
Roderick chuckled and, before Leo could even speak, launched into a torrent of flattery.
"You want to thank me? That's great, I happen to need the dean's help with something." Leo's blunt tone made Roderick feel like he had shot himself in the foot. He wanted to slap himself twice for being so tactless.
"Master, please feel free to speak your mind. There's no need for such formalities between us." No matter how unwilling one may be in their heart, not a single polite word can be spared.
"Please help me contact the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard Stigmata Great Wizard. I have some matters concerning the Stone of Indestructibility that I would like to discuss with him."
Leo's words were like the sound of a knife hanging over Roderick finally falling to Roderick's neck.
He had been agonizing and resisting the arrival of this day, but when Leo actually said it, he felt a sense of relief.
This matter will have to be resolved sooner or later.
"Don't say you can't reach me, and don't say you don't have time to see me."
"If the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard truly refuses to see me, I think once I return to the Wizard World, a lot of information about the Stone of Indestructibility will spread. Don't come looking for me then."
"How could I not see you? I'll contact you right away, Master, please wait a moment."
Roderick knew better than anyone that the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard had concealed information about the Stone of Indestructibility. He originally thought that no one would fuse with it, so it didn't matter.
After sensing the aura of the Stone of Indestructibility on Leo, he had already anticipated this day.
There's no way to avoid it, so we might as well have a proper talk.
Leo hadn't expected Roderick to agree so readily, rendering his planned threats useless.
Didn't they know that Leo came to collect a debt?
Or has the Indestructible Body Stigmata Great Wizard recently struck it rich, becoming so wealthy that he's not afraid of him coming to his door?
