Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice to Become Stronger, Fiancée is Alluring

Chapter 109 Exchanging for a Gravity Chamber, Hong's Surprise

Upon hearing this, Hong first twitched the corner of his mouth, then said:

"These things are no longer of any use to you."

"It's nothing, it's nothing, that's all."

Jiang Lan didn't initially intend to use these plant spirits herself, but rather to give them to others.

Jiang Lan remembers all the good deeds of Yang Wei, Wu Tong, and Zhuge Tao.

It was one thing when I didn't have the ability, but now that I do, it's time to give back.

Hong nodded slightly.

"Since you want it, you can. However, you don't have enough stars right now. The ancient civilization gravity chamber costs 90 stars, ten portions of dragon blood, ten portions of thousand-year-old black ginseng, and ten portions of thousand-year-old snow lotus cost 95 stars, so it will cost 185 stars in total."

Jiang Lan currently only has 120 Stars, which is naturally not enough to exchange for something worth 185 Stars.

However, Jiang Lan was prepared and took out three Wood Crystals from her backpack.

"Master, how much is this item worth?"

"This is..." Hong's gaze was drawn to what Jiang Lan had just taken out. After examining it carefully for a while, he exclaimed in astonishment, "Mu Ya Jing?"

"The curator has a good eye."

Although Muya Crystal is considered a treasure in the universe, it is not particularly rare. It is recorded in some ancient civilization relics, and some have been found on Earth before.

Hong's eyes widened, showing no trace of his previous calm demeanor.

"Where...where did you get this thing?"

This is the Wood Crystal! A treasure that can directly upgrade a War God to a planetary-level powerhouse within a month.

Hong, as the world's number one, has only seen two of them in all these years, but now Jiang Lan has actually taken out three.

Moreover, judging from this, these three pieces of Wood Crystal are definitely not all of Jiang Lan's possessions. Otherwise, he certainly wouldn't have taken them out so readily and even wanted to exchange them for Stars.

Jiang Lan had already prepared her answer to Hong's question.

He began:

"I found this on a small island in Australia a while ago when I was hunting monsters."

Hong stared wide-eyed, speechless for a long time.

After a long while, he exclaimed in surprise:

"My God, your luck is simply..."

At this point, Hong Cai seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly continued to ask:

Which island in Australia?

Jiang Lan had anticipated Hong Hui's question and answered truthfully:

"I'm not sure of the exact location, but it's a small island shrouded in thick fog. I have the coordinates, I'll send them to you in a bit."

On Fog Island now, any treasures of even slightly value have already been taken away by Jiang Lan.

Even the Meteorite Starship has already had Babata stored in his own storage space.

Even if there are any omissions, they would probably only be some things like the spirits of plants and trees.

Anyway, Jiang Lan didn't really care, so since Hong wanted it, it wouldn't matter if he told him the location of Wudao Island.

Hong's eyes lit up. "Don't worry, I won't take your benefits for nothing. I'll give you 30% of anything I find on that Fog Island you mentioned, unconditionally."

Jiang Lan was taken aback.

He hadn't expected Hong to be so generous.

Although he was too lazy to search for it himself, he had no reason to refuse the benefits that he could get by doing nothing.

"Can."

Hong smiled, clearly in a good mood.

"I'll give you this Wood Crystal at the price of 20 Stars per crystal, plus the original 120 Stars, for a total of 180. As for the remaining 5 Stars, I won't ask you for them now. If we find any benefits on Fog Island, I'll just deduct them from your account."

Jiang Lan nodded slightly.

"Can."

The price Hong offered was fair.

Although a single Wood Crystal can create a planetary powerhouse, the Limit Martial Arts Academy, as the most powerful force in the world, has a much larger number of advanced martial artists than other forces.

Therefore, while having an extra planetary level is important, it is not so important that losing one would be unacceptable.

Hong continued:

"You will receive what you need in a short while. As for the gravity chamber, that's quite heavy, so I will arrange for someone to transport it to your home."

"Thank you very much, Master."

……

Leaving the quiet room, Jiang Lan walked through the corridor towards the outside of the spaceship-shaped martial arts hall building.

As soon as he reached the entrance, he saw a girl in a white robe standing in front of him.

The girl was of mixed race and had a pretty appearance, but compared to the alluring woman, she was a bit lacking.

Upon seeing Jiang Lan, the young woman bowed slightly respectfully and then presented the wooden box she was holding to Jiang Lan with both hands.

"Inspector, these are the items you just exchanged with the Master."

Jiang Lan was not surprised and picked up the wooden box casually.

Hong is always very efficient, just like when he exchanged the Qiankun-class intelligent fighter jet last time.

As soon as he stepped out of the spaceship, the fighter jets were already parked at the door.

Ignoring the girl in white robes, Jiang Lan arrived at the entrance of the spaceship building.

"drop--"

A beam of light swept over Jiang Lan, and after authentication, the building's doors opened.

Jiang Lan carried the wooden box out of the martial arts hall, slightly lost in thought.

Next, he will give back to those who have helped him.

Once he has given away everything he has, he can find an opportunity to explore the underwater ruins and search for that spaceship.

With these thoughts in mind, Jiang Lan boarded his black fighter jet.

Sitting on the spacious sofa, Jiang Lan gave the instructions:

"Go home... no, let's go straight to the HR Alliance headquarters in Jiangnan Base City."

"Received, Xiao Hei!"

A mechanical sound rang out from the speakers inside the cabin.

"Help me connect to Zhuge Tao's communication."

Jiang Lan then gave the instructions.

It's a smart fighter jet after all, so making phone calls is a piece of cake for it.

A projection suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Lan.

As the phone rang twice, Zhuge Tao, dressed in a Tang suit, appeared on the projection screen.

"Brother Lan... no, Inspector Jiang."

"Get lost," Jiang Lan said with a laugh. "What 'inspector' nonsense? Just letting you know, we're having dinner together at eight tonight. Invite Wu Tong and Yang Wei too."

"A get-together? What's going on?"

Zhuge Tao knew that Jiang Lan was not particularly fond of gatherings and would not hold a dinner party without a reason, so there must be some explanation.

"Just come when I tell you to. Don't ask any questions. Do you think I'm calling you for something bad?"

Jiang Lan continued, smiling.

Zhuge Tao smiled and said, "Alright! It's rare that the Inspector is in such a good mood. I'll call Wu Tong and Yang Wei right away."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Lan was somewhat lost in thought.

As his strength increased and his status changed, Zhuge Tao now felt more restrained when facing him.
