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

Chapter 69 I, Jiang Lan, never lie.

Ancient civilization relics...

After Hong mentioned it, Jiang Lan immediately realized what it meant.

To obtain the Black God Set, you must enter the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Ruins and pass the test.

Hong continued speaking to Jiang Lan:

"Entering ancient ruins isn't absolutely safe; there's a certain degree of danger. So, do you still want to exchange for the Black God Set?"

Without much hesitation, Jiang Lan nodded directly.

Danger?

What can you do without danger?

Wasn't it very dangerous for him when he went to the wilderness before?

Moreover, there aren't that many King-level monsters on Earth right now, so it's unlikely that you can improve your physical abilities by hunting monsters.

Jiang Lan had originally planned to explore various ancient civilization sites to see if he could find any opportunities.

Don't be fooled by his current planetary level status. In the universe, planetary level warriors are basically the weakest. Anyone can easily trample on them, and if they're unlucky, they might even be captured and enslaved.

Therefore, Jiang Lan does not plan to go to space until she has a certain ability to protect herself.

Besides, he doesn't have a spaceship right now.

A planetary-level body traveling more than a thousand meters per second may seem fast, but it is insignificant compared to interstellar travel distances that can easily reach tens of thousands of light-years.

Without a spaceship, it would take him over 273,700 years of full-speed flight to travel a distance of one light-year.

Therefore, a necessary prerequisite for embarking on a space adventure is to first possess a spaceship.

Jiang Lan vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a barely usable spaceship in one of the ruins, but he couldn't quite remember which one it was.

Even if he knew, it wouldn't matter. The spaceship's system hadn't been shut down yet, so Jiang Lan couldn't drive it away even if he wanted to.

I shook my head slightly, banishing all the jumbled thoughts from my mind. There's always a way out; I'll worry about the future later.

Seeing Jiang Lan agree so readily, Hong's eyes revealed a hint of appreciation.

If you only have talent but lack the determination to challenge yourself, you will definitely not go far on the path of a martial artist.

But Jiang Lan is a talented, courageous, and decisive child.

Hong was almost certain that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, Jiang Lan's future achievements would definitely surpass his own.

"Alright, I'll have someone deliver the Black God Set to you in a bit. You have 15 Stars left now, see if there's anything else you want."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lan turned his gaze back to the light screen and looked at the section on secret manuals.

Phoenix Soars: 36 Stars

Lightning Flash: 25 Stars

Jiang Lan twitched the corner of her mouth; this manual was far too expensive.

He turned to look at the other options.

Although there are cheaper versions of secret manuals available, Jiang Lan rarely uses them.

The secret manuals obtained from the sacrifice system are far more powerful than those that can be bought from Hong.

Most importantly, the secret manuals obtained from the system do not require him to learn them personally; he can directly master them simply by acquiring them.

After staring at the options for a while, Jiang Lan realized that there didn't seem to be anything that could move him.

He has no shortage of weapons and equipment.

The Golden Feather Halberd and the Black God Set he just redeemed are enough for him at the planetary level.

He wasn't interested in secret manuals or treasures that could improve his physique.

Although there are powerful treasures in the universe, Jiang Lan can only say that none of the items on this exchange list are as valuable as a single sacrifice reward.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Lan turned his gaze back to the fighter jet section.

"Let's go with that Qiankun-class intelligent fighter jet."

Jiang Lan made a decision.

Nothing else mattered to him, but this intelligent fighter jet was still pretty good.

"Okay." Hong nodded slightly and introduced, "This Qiankun-class intelligent fighter jet can reach a speed of Mach 21.2, which is more than 20,000 kilometers per hour. Although it cannot match your or my flight speed, it is more comfortable and convenient, and it can carry people."

"As for defensive capabilities, the Qiankun-class intelligent fighter jet can already withstand the attacks of most King-level monsters, and its onboard defense system can instantly kill Lord-level monsters. The enchanting fighter jet is of the Qiankun class."

"Okay, this is the one!" Jiang Lan immediately made the decision.

Although he can fly anywhere easily, Jiang Lan's current strength cannot sustain full-speed, high-intensity flight for long.

Although this plane is much slower than his, it is still quite convenient.

"Sure, there happens to be a fighter jet in the martial arts school, but it's black. If you have a preference for the color, we can remake it for you or repaint it."

"No need, black is fine."

Jiang Lan wasn't that particular; she didn't care what color it was, it just bloomed anyway.

"Okay, I'll let you know when you'll take over as inspector later. And the next trip to Ancient Civilization Ruins No. 9 will be on September 29th. You can go with us, or you can wait until next year when we organize the trip."

"This year, I guess."

Jiang Lan had no intention of delaying and spoke directly.

Some things are better done sooner rather than later. If he doesn't go to explore ancient ruins, he won't have much else to do, so he might as well go sooner.

"Okay." The look of appreciation in Hong's eyes grew even stronger. "There's nothing else, you can leave now. The fighter jet and the Black God suit will be ready in a bit."

"Thank you, Master."

Jiang Lan stood up from the prayer mat and bowed slightly to Hong Wei.

Regardless of the circumstances, the benefits Hong gave him this time were already quite substantial.

It was only right that Jiang Lan expressed her gratitude.

"You're welcome," Hong said calmly, waving his hand.

Jiang Lan opened the door, and the light from the corridor outside shone into the room, causing Jiang Lan, who had been in darkness, to subconsciously squint.

After stepping outside and closing the door behind him, Jiang Lan saw Yao Rao standing to the side waiting for him.

Upon seeing Jiang Lan emerge, she asked in a seductive voice with a hint of amusement:

"How did it go? What did the Master say to you?"

The spaceship's interior was very soundproof; Jiang Lan didn't hear a thing while she was talking to Hong inside.

Therefore, Yao Rao probably didn't hear his conversation with Hong either.

"The Master gave me a Qiankun-class intelligent fighter jet, along with a Black God suit."

The small mouth behind the alluring mask was slightly open, as if in surprise.

"How could the Master give you something so precious? Those things are usually exchanged for contributions or treasures."

Jiang Lan curled her lips into a smile, looked at Yao Rao, and said with a grin:

"The owner said this is your dowry."

"You're going to die!"

Yao Rao raised her hand and angrily patted Jiang Lan's shoulder.

Jiang Lan said with a sincere expression:

"Really, when have I ever lied to you?"
