Chapter 2924 Killing
The enhanced self-destruct effect of the SS-level insect nest lasted for a full five minutes before gradually ceasing.
Fang Heng returned to the main control room of the ship.
A game hint appeared on his retina.
[Hint: The player successfully cleared the SS-level insect nest. According to the team kill contribution points, the player receives 1.68 million spawn contribution points and 7.42 million spawn honor points.]
At this moment, Fang Heng glanced at the insect nest again. The ground had been dissolved into a deep pit by the acidic mucus, and there was still residual corrosive liquid inside the pit.
The Federation soldiers could not investigate the area immediately and had to wait until the corrosive fluid was cleaned up before they could begin clearing the battlefield.
The ship’s communication channel once again echoed with the voice of Captain Gisele, “Fang Heng, on behalf of the Federation and the military, we thank you for your assistance. We will promptly recognize your contribution points through the spawn system.”
“You’re welcome.”
“Also, I’ve heard about the issue with the Inspection Department. Please rest assured, our military department will stand by you. No matter what others try to do, we will clear your name.”
“Ahem.” Zoran cleared his throat, turned to Fang Heng, and whispered, “Fang Heng, should we proceed to the next step?”
As per their agreement, after the mission was completed, Zoran would provide free repair services for the Star River ship.
“Yes, of course. After the battlefield is cleared, we’ll begin the repairs immediately,” Fang Heng said. “But there’s one more thing I need your help with, Captain Zoran.”
“Yes, of course. After the battlefield is cleared, we’ll begin the repairs immediately,” Fang Heng said. “But there’s one more thing I need your help with, Captain Zoran.”
Fang Heng leaned over and whispered a few words in Zoran’s ear.
Crimson gemstones?
What did he need that for?
Zoran felt a bit suspicious as he listened to Fang Heng’s request to install crimson gemstones on his ship and take them away. However, he didn’t think too much about it and nodded in agreement, “No problem, the ship’s storage has plenty of space. You can use it for now…”
Once everything had settled and the two ships began cleaning the battlefield, Fang Heng went alone to the rear of the battlefield.
A Licker swiftly pounced from the side and spat out a cocoon from its mouth.
Fang Heng waved his hand forward, grasping the cocoon in his palm.
“Shh, shh, shh…”
The cocoon was quickly absorbed into the cracks in his palm.
[Hint: The player absorbs Seed of Ouroboros (super-sized fragment). Player’s current Seed of Ouroboros ability level increases to Level 8.]
Not bad.
The super-sized fragment leveled up the ability by two and a half levels with just one piece.
Soon, the skill level would reach level 10, unlocking the next modification slot.
Fang Heng withdrew his gaze.
With the battle now over, he needed more zombie clones for the excavation work.
Also, since he likely wouldn’t return to this world again, he needed to collect a batch of crimson gemstones for future modifications to the biological cannon
The more, the better!
This meant he needed more combat shovels…
…
Seven days later, the Star River.
Since the completion of the SS-level insect nest clearance mission, the insect swarm crisis was temporarily over. After completing repairs, the Star River returned to its original world to continue collecting psychic ore.
However, the vast majority of the psychic ore had been taken by Fang Heng.
The mercenaries from various contractors and the Federation had no competitive advantage and could only stand by, drinking soup, which made the mercenaries quite dissatisfied.
But none of them voiced their displeasure.
“Huh? You mean it’s all gone?”
“Yes.”
Zoran listened to the report from his subordinate and couldn’t help but rub his temples.
The psychic crystal mine in this world was relatively abundant, and they originally planned to mine it for 2-3 months.
But ever since Fang Heng arrived, it was as if locusts had passed through. In just three days, all the psychic crystals on the survey instruments had been consumed.
The Federation was stunned.
Was this kid eating the ore?
Later, Zoran learned that Fang Heng’s summoned creatures had a mining-like skill.
The good news was that with Fang Heng’s help, the ship had completed 90% of the repairs, and its combat strength had fully recovered. It was ready for the next jump.
During the downtime, Captain Zoran planned to wait another two days for the ship to be fully repaired before setting off again to search for the next world to mine.
However, Fang Heng’s cooperation might require lining up in the future.
“Report! Captain!” A soldier hurried into the meeting room, speaking in a deep voice. “An urgent letter from the Federation.”
Zoran took the file and glanced over it a few times. His expression immediately changed dramatically.
“Where is Fang Heng? Immediately notify him and ask him to log off. We need his help.”
“Yes!”
The soldier agreed and turned to find Fang Heng, but Zoran raised his hand and said, “Forget it, I’ll go personally.”
Half an hour later, when Zoran found Fang Heng, he had just completed his psychic cultivation and was walking out of the catacomb.
As expected, consuming psychic crystals to grind psychic levels was the fastest way!
In just three days, the grandmaster-level psychic skill had been leveled up to its maximum through the spawn task system and rapid leveling by absorbing psychic gemstones.
With the grandmaster-level psychic skill fully maxed, his spirit attribute had received a significant boost, and additionally, the psychic skill had gained a suggestion effect, making it easier to persuade targets.
As for the remaining psychic crystals, Fang Heng submitted them to the spawn system to complete missions and exchanged them for contribution points.
Fang Heng calculated and estimated that the remaining spawn contribution points would be enough to exchange for over fifty Black Fog cores.
Unfortunately, the psychic crystals from this local world had already been mined nearly empty.
As for the energy crystals mined locally, they were first used to store energy for skills, then handed over to the Federation, and once the Federation couldn’t take any more, they were freely sent to the Federation to be stored in the warehouse.
It was time to find the next target.
Fang Heng was about to go find Captain Zoran to discuss their next objective when Zoran arrived first.
It seemed Zoran was in a hurry?
“Fang Heng.”
Zoran looked at Fang Heng, and Fang Heng sensed something was different in his gaze.
It seemed deeper, more unfathomable, similar to the feeling he had sensed from Charlene.
Fang Heng broke the silence, asking, “Captain Zoran, what’s the hurry? What’s going on?”
Zoran’s expression became serious as he motioned for his subordinates to leave. Then, he looked at Fang Heng and nodded. “Fang Heng, we’ve encountered a huge problem in the Western District Federation. We need your help.”
“Huh? A problem? What exactly is it?” Fang Heng asked, feeling a bit excited. “Did you find another high-level insect nest?”
That would be great!
He could grind spawn contribution points and level up the Seed of Ouroboros together!
“No, no, it’s an internal issue in our Western District Federation. It’s a major classified matter. Instructor Benny has already applied for special approval and invited you to assist throughout the mission. If you have no objections, I’ll take you there immediately.”
Zoran paused and added, “The Federation’s conditions are that if you help us resolve this problem, they are willing to provide all materials for free and assist you in completing the ‘lock’.”
Really…
Fang Heng looked at Zoran, secretly wondering.
Again with the ‘lock’ as a condition.
It felt like the Federation was throwing him a bait, and he would have to keep working for them nonstop to take it.
“Alright.” Fang Heng shrugged and said, “No problem, we can leave anytime.”
