Before long, Li Jing had drawn all the equipment cards, material cards, item cards, secret technique cards, and the like that could not be used directly on him.

There were so many that it took Li Jing quite a while to sort through them and make sense of it all.

If he bundled up all the miscellaneous equipment, materials, and items he could no longer use and sold them to the HR Alliance Mall, he could probably recoup around 400 million in Huaxia Currency.

Aside from that useless junk he could only exchange for money, the remaining items were quite practical.

One Series 9 Combat Suit.

It was suitable for combat between High-level War Gods and high-level Lord-level Monsters, and could reduce impact force by ninety percent.

The martial arts school charged 12 billion in Huaxia Currency at full price, and even at half price it cost 6 billion. Even at the lowest price in the War God Palace, it would cost at least 4 billion.

That one Series 9 Combat Suit alone had earned Li Jing back the more than 3.4 billion in Huaxia Currency he had spent on card draws.

But Li Jing had no intention of selling it.

His physical capabilities had now reached Intermediate War God Level, while the Series 6 Combat Suit and equipment he had originally bought with the 100-million credit at the Limit Home Mall that Luo Feng had invested in him

could no longer keep up with his strength and needed to be replaced.

He could keep this Series 9 Combat Suit for himself, saving Li Jing a great deal of money on equipment.

One Black God Set.

The Black God Set was a special piece of equipment produced by Earth's Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 9. It was actually a First-Order Force Battle Suit from the universe.

It was suitable for Planetary Level warriors and Spirit Readers, and could reduce attacks below Star Level by ninety percent.

It recognized its owner through a drop of blood. Made from active nanomaterials, it was highly fluid and could cover the entire body, providing protection with virtually no blind spots.

But it was also much more expensive than ordinary Alloy Battle Suits of the same order, which had weaknesses in their defenses.

In the universe, a Black God Set could sell for 10 to 18 million Black Dragon Coins.

Black Dragon Coins had considerable purchasing power. An ordinary ninth-stage Apprentice Level slave with no special abilities, equivalent to a High-level War God warrior on Earth, was worth only 15 to 20 Black Dragon Coins.

A Spirit Reader could fetch a slightly higher price, but was still worth only 25 to 30 Black Dragon Coins.

In other words, a single Black God Set could be exchanged for over a million High-level War God slaves out in the universe!

And Li Jing was only an Intermediate War God, not even a High-level War God.

This one Black God Set could buy several million of Li Jing's current lives!

Here, one could glimpse the benefits of Earth being part of the territory of Hu Yanbo, an expert who had once barely qualified as a Marquis.

A Black God Set, which could buy over a million High-level War God slaves in the universe, was merely a graduation set for High-level War Gods on Earth.

As long as they weren't too hopeless, practically everyone had one.

The so-called Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 9 were actually a trial passage established on Earth by Hu Yanbo's Yunmo Planet.

Those who passed the trial would receive a First-Order Force Battle Suit, the Black God Set, as well as the right to join Yunmo Planet.

But after Hu Yanbo fell, Yunmo Planet ceased to exist, and the so-called right to join came to nothing. All one could obtain was the Black God Set.

Like the Series 9 Combat Suit, Li Jing intended to keep the Black God Set for himself.

He planned to do as most other High-level War Gods did and wear the Black God Set underneath, with a Series 9 Combat Suit over it.

With the protection of the two suits combined, impact force below Planetary Level could be reduced to one percent, and that force would be distributed evenly across the entire body.

A High-level War God wearing a Black God Set was virtually impossible to kill below Planetary Level.

As for whether he should still visit Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 9 now that he already had a Black God Set?

Naturally he should!

The Black God Set from the draw was good, but one he could get for free was even sweeter.

Even if Li Jing had no use for two sets, couldn't he just sell one when he reached the universe?

Then he would have the starting funds to draw cards from the Planetary Level pool.

And the Black God Set, which could sell for over 10 million Black Dragon Coins, was only the tip of the iceberg of Earth's value.

Compared with other indigenous planets, Earth had quite a few good things.

A World Lord Level Zerg Mother Nest, the Yunmo Star Ship made entirely of F9-class Crimson Chaos Copper Mother and worth over ten million Hunyuan Units, and an E9-class Machine Race spaceship.

Any one of them, taken out at random, would be enough to make people go mad, let alone on other indigenous planets.

Even the big figures of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, an intermediate civilization nation in the universe, would go mad over them.

The cheapest of the lot, the E9-class Machine Race spaceship, was worth 1,000 to 1,500 Hunyuan Units, and on certain black markets could even fetch the high price of 2,000 Hunyuan Units.

An ordinary World Lord without a background had a total net worth of only around 10 Hunyuan Units.

The E9-class Machine Race spaceship was worth the entire fortunes of more than a hundred World Lords with no special advantages. How could it not drive people mad?

And that was only the most ordinary of the three treasures, the Machine Race spaceship. As for the Yunmo Star Ship and the World Lord Level Zerg Mother Nest,

World Lords were not even qualified to covet them. Even an ordinary Immortal Army Lord could not hold on to them.

Those they attracted would all be Immortals of at least Marquis Level.

It was no exaggeration to say that treasures lay everywhere on Earth.

And the most valuable of all was Earth itself.

As a special planet created by Sitting Mountain Guest, Earth gave the lives born on it great talent in the soul, and their cultivation of mental state advanced a thousand miles a day.

When Earth was later exposed, the higher-ups of the human race estimated that it was worth at least as much as a Peak Domain-type Supreme Treasure!

Even the human race, one of the peak races, possessed only a few treasures of that level.

Besides the First-Order Force Battle Suit, the Black God Set, Li Jing had also obtained a first-order Origin Force War Blade: Tiger Thorn.

Compared with the Black God Set, Tiger Thorn was worth far less.

According to the description that came with the purple SSR card from which Tiger Thorn had been drawn,

Tiger Thorn was a fairly popular first-order Origin Force weapon in the universe, and the secret patterns engraved on it were also very simple.

It was a low-priced, everyday weapon, popular with Planetary Level users who were short on cash.

Of course, however ordinary it was, Tiger Thorn was still a genuine first-order Origin Force weapon, worth 3 million Black Dragon Coins.

It was not something an ordinary first-order war blade simply made from A-grade alloy could match.

As with the Black God Set, Li Jing intended to keep Tiger Thorn for his own use.

A proper first-order Origin Force weapon that Planetary Level warriors could use in battle was far stronger than the ordinary war blades on Earth!

Even though Li Jing lacked the secret technique meant to be used with Tiger Thorn and could not bring out its full capabilities,

its ability to cut through anything and its indestructibility alone were enough to convince Li Jing to keep it.

With Tiger Thorn, he wouldn't need to think about changing weapons before advancing to Planetary Level, at least!

As for after Planetary Level, that would depend on whether he could draw a better Origin Force weapon later.

If he couldn't draw one for the time being, he could only make do with it.

Besides those three valuable pieces of equipment, Li Jing had also drawn two good secret techniques.

The first-order blade technique "Arc Light" and the first-order movement technique "Instant Radiance."

Although they were common as dirt in the universe, on Earth, where inheritances were scarce and even a flawed Nine-Layered Thunder Blade was revered as the ultimate secret manual, they were already quite good!

Arc Light had four layers in total, with each layer adding a threefold exertion of force. Cultivated to the limit, it allowed twelvefold exertion of force.

It could also be applied to the whole body, unlike the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade, which could not be used to enhance defense.

Instant Radiance was also far more profound than the movement technique that came with the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade.

Li Jing had originally planned to buy the remaining six layers of the Nine-Layered Thunder Blade once he earned enough money.

But after drawing Arc Light and Instant Radiance in this batch, there was no need.
