Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

Great Xia.

Linjiang City, Lanshan Mansion Villa District.

At noon, the wide-ranging snowstorm that lasted for two days and nights finally stopped.

The community-organized snow removal team mobilized again to enthusiastically clear the snow from the roads in the community.

As one of the top ten good citizens, Yang Fan was naturally among them.

While burying his head in shoveling snow, he checked his Spiritual Source Value.

Spiritual Source Value: 432.6

It increased by 3.8 points.

This was the reward from earlier killing the eerie tentacle.

Ever since the news of "the birth of Cold Abyss Ice Fish in the Arctic Icefield" spread, and superpower users from various countries gathered on the Icefield.

Another avatar carrying the Soul Stealing Wisp has accumulated more than 220 Spiritual Source Points.

Some of these came from the monsters born in the Arctic Icefield.

The rest came from the generous "donations" of superpower users from various countries.

Because the Arctic is too dangerous.

Over the past few days, many superpower users who came to "strike it rich" encountered danger and lost their lives.

The Spirit Crow carried the Supreme Treasure to patrol the Icefield once and always harvested quite a few Spiritual Source Points.

In addition to this.

The Soul Stealing Wisp naturally also extracted dozens of superpowers.

Among them, a few superpowers seemed quite impressive.

〖Spirit Shield〗: Not activated, Low grade Mental Superpower, activation requires consuming 5 Spiritual Source Points.

This is a rare spiritual defense skill.

It can greatly enhance spiritual strength and can also coalesce a Shield of Spirit to resist external Spirit Shocks.

〖Frenzy〗: Not activated, Low grade Mixed Superpower, activation requires consuming 6 Spiritual Source Points.

It can significantly enhance combat power at the cost of overexertion.

Although each activation of Frenzy leaves the body and mind in a Weak State, it's still a powerful superpower that can save lives in critical moments.

〖Regeneration〗: Not activated, Low grade Physical Superpower, activation requires consuming 7 Spiritual Source Points.

This is the most powerful superpower acquired this time.

As the name suggests, this superpower can enhance the body's regeneration ability.

Even if an arm is chopped off, Regeneration Superpower can make the arm grow back.

As long as there is no fatal injury, like the head getting chopped off or the heart being dug out, it's definitely not life-threatening.

Yang Fan quickly checked everything and nodded in satisfaction: "Indeed, those who dare to come to the Arctic are elites among the superpower users."

Under normal circumstances, collecting so many high-quality superpowers would be impossible within a short period.

But by using Cold Abyss Ice Fish as bait, they voluntarily delivered themselves to the doorstep.

Yang Fan's heart moved again, and the superpower list vanished.

He earnestly shoveled the snow, while also listening to the conversations of others.

Must say.

The official snow shoveling activities greatly closed the gap between community residents.

In the past in the villa district, everyone lived behind closed doors, often not even knowing the names of their neighbors.

Now, people could chat and laugh together.

"I saw a piece of news this morning, that a rapidly growing wheat cultivated by the Northern Plant Research Institute has been harvested for the first time, taking only a month and a half to be reaped, quite an eye-opener for me."

"I also saw this news; the yield from a single acre in the indoor farm seems to have reached 600 kilos."

"The growth cycle is so short, and the yield doesn't seem low either!"

"A large new agricultural enterprise in Yannan Province invested in over 1,500 farms dedicated to growing this rapid wheat, harvesting over 100,000 tons of wheat in total over the past few days."

"That's impressive!"

"At this rate, it won't be long before food prices should drop a bit."

"No need to guess; they've already dropped. Yesterday, the noddles on the Business Communication shopping platform went down by 30 cents, and everyone's monthly quota increased by a pound."

"In other countries, food prices go up every month, but only our Great Xia's food prices have come down."

"Our country really excels in this area. I have a foreign friend who has expressed envy more than once about the level of control Great Xia has over its prices, as food prices in their country have more than doubled compared to two months ago."

When Yang Fan heard this, he couldn't help but slightly curve the corners of his mouth.

Misfortune comes from comparisons.

Happiness also comes from comparisons.

Even though the Xia People's living standards have declined significantly, compared to the dreadful situation abroad, many still feel happy.

Additionally.

Regarding the rapid wheat.

Yang Fan is a true renowned expert in the field, knowing it quite well.

Rapid wheat indeed grows fast but its nutritional value is slightly lower than ordinary wheat, its texture not as good, and eating a lot may lead to constipation and dry heat.

It's only that with the advent of the Age of Calamity, material abundance has become a thing of the past, and the public isn't very picky.

Otherwise, even dogs wouldn't eat rapid wheat.

At this time.

Yang Fan suddenly sensed a gaze upon him.

On instinct, he turned his head and spotted a figure wrapped tightly.

Due to the severe cold, this person wore a hat and mask, leaving only a pair of eyes visible.

Relying on the intuition brought by the Super Sensing superpower, Yang Fan instantly grasped some information about the other party.

Male!

48 years old!

Knows me!

Wait a minute.

This middle-aged man, noticing Yang Fan's gaze, walked a few steps forward and greeted: "Minister Yang, I didn't expect to see you living here."

This sentence was spoken quite loudly.

The people around, hearing the title "Minister Yang," all turned their eyes toward him.

Yang Fan politely nodded: "Hello!"

The middle-aged man, sensing the subtle alienation, did not continue the conversation, just smiled and went back to shoveling snow.

Still, many continued to observe Yang Fan frequently.

After all, those living in the villa district typically have some capability, yet the middle-aged man referred to him as "Minister," arousing much curiosity.

After a while.

Yang Fan, feeling rather speechless from being stared at, simply took his shovel and left.

The community snow shoveling is voluntary community service with no financial reward, so leaving early didn't garner any remarks.

As he walked about a dozen meters, he heard discussions coming from behind.

"Old Li, who is that young man?"

"A preparatory superpower user, and also a senior executive in a new agricultural enterprise, his future achievements will definitely not be minor."

"Preparatory superpower users only possess a bit of superpower potential, they're not formal superpower users, are they really that impressive?!"

"Minister Yang recently cultivated a special plant that caught the attention of the Great Xia Superpower Research Institute. Many superpower users can't achieve that, what do you think?"

"That's indeed impressive!"

Yang Fan's mouth twitched upon hearing this.

If only he knew earlier, he would've worn a mask when going out to shovel snow!

Miscalculated!

He could sense that more glances were cast his way from behind, so he quickly sped up his pace.

Yang Fan couldn't help but mumble softly, "Fame frightens people, just like how prosperity frightens pigs!"

He knew all too well that being recognized now would undoubtedly lead to some disturbances.

After all, the new agricultural enterprise is universally known as the most resource-rich company, without parallel.

So, naturally, there would be some social butterflies trying to exchange things with him.

Sure enough.

Half an hour later.

The door of the two-story villa was suddenly knocked upon.

"Knock! Knock!"

The one knocking was a middle-aged man over fifty, named Yu Feng.

He held a box of premium tea leaves, waiting for Yang Fan to open the door, while pondering how to word his speech.

It's best not to make requests the first time visiting, otherwise, it might provoke the other party's discomfort, so he planned only to establish rapport.

Yu Feng felt that Minister Yang was just a young man, and with his wealth of experience, he would definitely be able to handle him.

Young folks!

Butter them up, and you're guaranteed to win them over. Just heap on more praise, say a few more flattering things, and it's easy to handle!

After two seconds.

Just heard a "click".

The door opened.

Yu Feng quickly flashed his most enthusiastic smile, "Minister Yang, I'm Yu Feng from building 38, I heard there's a talented young man in our community…"

Saying this.

He abruptly stopped.

Because Yu Feng clearly saw a furry dog's head poke out from the crack of the door, staring at him without blinking.

At this instant.

He was a bit bewildered.

Could it be that it was this dog who opened the door just now?

"Woof!"

The Great Xia dog Wangzai barked once, blocking the doorway without giving way.

Yu Feng encountered such a situation for the first time.

The "rich experience" accumulated over his lifetime was of no use at this moment.

Yu Feng froze for two seconds, called into the house, "Excuse me…"

He had just uttered two words before being interrupted.

"Woof!"

Yu Feng felt rather uncomfortable, and continued to call out, "Minister Yang…"

"Woof! Woof!"

Wangzai barked twice more.

Being repeatedly interrupted, Yu Feng couldn't continue, feeling increasingly uncomfortable.

He soon noticed that the big dog squatting at the entrance suddenly grinned widely.

Yu Feng instantly understood that this dog was deliberately interrupting him.

He felt slightly annoyed, but couldn't say much, so he increased his volume and shouted, "Yang…"

At this moment.

Wangzai suddenly pushed the door shut with his paw.

"Bang!"

The door closed again.

Yu Feng was thoroughly shut out, and any remaining words he had left unsaid.

"Click!"

There was another sound.

The door opened once more.

Wangzai's dog face emerged again, its mouth wide open, tongue almost hanging out.

Yu Feng finally realized that this dog was absolutely toying with him.

He cursed silently, "damn dog," and turned away.

Having been toyed with several times by a dog, how could he stay any longer?

Wangzai watched as the uninvited guest left far away, expressing regret in his eyes.

This Wang hadn't played enough yet!

Why did you leave so soon?

On the second floor.

Yang Fan listening to the commotion downstairs, his mouth slightly curved upwards.

It really wasn't him playing tricks on Yu Feng.

It was Wangzai acting on his own.

He had only instructed Wangzai not to let Yu Feng in earlier.

Who knew Wangzai had so many tricky ideas to turn Yu Feng around like this?

Yang Fan couldn't help but sigh, "There really is no peace!"

The reason he moved to the villa district was hoping his living environment would be a bit quieter.

Didn't expect he couldn't escape it after all.

Yang Fan had a thought, took out the shelter crystal that Xiaoya had given him.

"Buzz!"

The crystal lightly vibrated.

A wisp of world power descended.

"Caw!"

The crow's cry sounded.

Yang Fan's vision blurred, instantly seeing the vast and boundless Arctic Icefield.

Using this method to expand the communication range of the spiritual beast connection, the consumption of world power is very little.

If he wished, he could observe 24/7 without interruption.
