Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

The dust-covered conference room returned to silence.

Yang Fan did not speak.

He was pondering how to utilize the Deceitful Artifact.

The Wood Carving stood motionless.

Buddha Face showed a trembling expression, as if awaiting the judgment of fate.

A few seconds passed.

The Wood Carving moved slightly, transmitting a message.

Yang Fan was startled: "As long as I provide the right reward, you're willing to fully assist me?"

He felt a bit surprised, this thing was actually actively negotiating.

How interesting!

The Wood Carving moved again.

This was a gesture of confirmation.

Yang Fan pondered for a while and asked, "How much reward do you require each time you make a move?"

The Wood Carving transmitted another message.

Yang Fan suddenly became angry and fiercely said, "You damn thing still want living people as sacrifices, believe it or not, I'll burn you right now!"

Buddha Face closed its eyes in fright and gave out another message.

It abandoned the demand for sacrifices and proposed new conditions.

Yang Fan fiercely said, "Fifty kilograms of meat? Don't even think about it, at most I'll give you thirty kilograms."

Buddha Face showed a pleading expression.

It indicated: thirty kilograms is truly insufficient, I don't have the strength to act, at this rate I will starve to death.

Yang Fan simply didn't believe: "You're just a piece of wood, how can wood starve to death?"

Buddha Face wore a mournful face and urgently sent a message in defense.

It said: Although I am wood, I have a soul, if the soul is not nourished, it will gradually perish.

Yang Fan fell into contemplation.

If you want the horse to run, indeed you can't make the horse go hungry.

He looked down at the Wood Carving, giving his bottom line condition: "At most forty kilograms, no more."

He again threatened: "Otherwise, I'd rather destroy you."

"Crack!"

An electric flash flickered again.

Buddha Face pitifully agreed.

The Wood Carving moved slightly, once more transmitting a message.

It meant: I can acquire human memories, if directly consuming the opponent, the acquired memories are more abundant, perhaps I can help you.

Yang Fan was even more surprised.

Reading memories from the brain, this ability is impressive!

Especially since he was unfamiliar with the Ying Sang Kingdom, the Deceitful Artifact reading memories could bring tremendous help.

Yang Fan hesitated for a moment, then said: "If I encounter someone I want dead, giving them to you isn't impossible.

"But in exchange, each time you consume a sacrifice, you must fully assist me three times."

Buddha Face felt like crying.

I'm clearly helping you, how did it turn into you giving alms to me?

That's too much!

Yang Fan raised the Thunder Branch a bit higher, with an unquestionable tone: "Do you have any objections?"

Buddha Face quickly displayed a flattering smile, indicating its agreement.

It had many objections but didn't dare to utter a word.

Yang Fan gave the Wood Carving a pat: "Good job!"

Buddha Face maintained its flattering smile, but felt extremely bitter inside.

In the past, when helping the predecessor ghost, it could at least receive two sacrifices and a lot of fresh blood food.

But now, just one sacrifice, and it has to assist three times.

What a huge loss!

But the Wood Carving dared not refuse.

Because that red branch made it feel extremely dangerous.

This was a higher-level of oppression.

It understood very well that as long as this new master wished, he could truly destroy it completely.

"Whoosh!"

A tremendous whistling sound came from the night sky.

Yang Fan murmured: "What a racket."

This was the noise from a fighter jet flying past.

Today in Ningjing City, there's been slaughter and bombing, seriously escalating the situation.

So, the Ying Sang sent out fighter jets to patrol the skies over Ningjing City, ready to attack at any moment.

Yang Fan glanced at the Deceitful Artifact and asked: "How much do you know about the Ying Sang Kingdom?"

He had already discovered that the Wood Carving possessed quite high intelligence, so he wanted to obtain some information from it.

The Wood Carving vibrated several times in succession.

Yang Fan extended a finger to gently touch the surface of the Wood Carving.

In the next moment.

He showed a face full of amazement.

He "saw" a series of rapidly flashing scenes in an extraordinarily intriguing manner.

It's exactly the memory of the Deceitful Artifact.

In fact.

The late sucker had no idea that the Deceitful Artifact actually had such abilities.

Usually, he only treated the Wood Carving as a sinister object, cautiously worshipping it.

Even when communicating with the Deceitful Artifact, the sucker always used honorifics, fearing to upset the Wood Carving.

The sucker never imagined that one day the Wood Carving would behave like a sycophant, fully revealing itself to the next owner.

Ten minutes later.

Yang Fan quickly browsed through the memory.

He looked pleased: "In the southern base of Carmenia within Ying Sang, there is unexpectedly a Superpower User who has awakened the Throwing Superpower."

In one segment of the image.

A blond-haired, blue-eyed soldier threw a dart over three hundred meters, hitting the target dead center.

This clearly demonstrated the throwing type of superpower.

Yang Fan praised the Wood Carving: "Nice! The information you provided is very useful."

Earlier he was worried about this matter, unexpectedly the Deceitful Artifact provided an important clue.

"Buzz!"

The Wood Carving vibrated slightly.

Buddha Face showed a flattering smile.

This item had been carried by the late sucker, visiting various places in Ying Sang Kingdom, witnessing all kinds of things.

Including communication and sparring with Carmenia Superpower Users.

Of course.

This was actually the request of the Carmenians.

Since the Carmenia Federation, the governing nation, made a request, how could Ying Sang People not comply?

It was during this sparring that the Wood Carving encountered this skilled Throwing Superpower User and remembered him well.

Yang Fan looked out the window: "If I could acquire the Throwing Superpower, facing helicopters and low-flying fighter jets, I'd have the strength to fight back, rather than passively endure attacks."

"Consider it a reward!"

He tossed over a frozen chicken leg as payment for the information from the Deceitful Artifact.

The Wood Carving emitted a black mist, instantly engulfing the chicken leg, swallowing it whole.

Yang Fan asked: "Is it tasty?"

Buddha Face quickly squeezed out a big smile, appearing "very happy to have eaten the chicken leg" today.

In its heart, it felt that this thing tasted terrible, barely better than glass or table legs.

Previously, when following the sucker, it had never touched frozen food, the minimum being freshly bloody meat.

Yang Fan nodded: "Though you're a bit picky, you're not excessively selective."

Buddha Face's smile grew larger.

Yet its heart grew heavier.

Yang Fan pondered over the information: "The Ying Sang People and Carmenians actually committed such ugly acts."

In some of the images displayed by the Wood Carving, there were many dark-skinned people with their hands and feet tightly bound.

From their appearance, they resembled people from the southeastern region of the East Continent.

He highly suspected this was some sort of transaction.

Yang Fan's eyes flashed a hint of coldness: "The Deceitful Artifact either absorbs life force or craves blood and flesh, are they using these people as nourishment?"

He also lamented a bit: "In weak countries, civilians are used as feed for the Deceitful Artifact."

If it were Great Xia.

If any country targeted Great Xia People, Great Xia would never let it slide.

Yang Fan immediately made a decision: "Tomorrow I'll take a trip to Hejia City."

Hejia City is a southern city in Ying Sang Kingdom.

Ten kilometers away in the bay area is a base named "Taibao."

The scenes seen by the Wood Carving took place in this base.

The Carmenia soldier who awakened the Throwing Superpower, named "Yannick," also serves in this base.

*

Before dawn.

Yang Fan set out.

Hejia City isn't far from Ningjing City, only over three hundred kilometers away.

He couldn't be bothered with the hassle of taking a flight, instead directly boarding a Long eared Owl for the journey.

Things took a turn.

Midway through the flight.

The sky began to drizzle densely.

Yang Fan floated in the air in a "reclining" manner, once again witnessing the strange scene of "Energy flow."

Countless threads of Energy, mingling with the rain, seeped into this world.

He immediately realized: "Ying Sang Kingdom is about to produce a large number of Poisonous Mosquitoes."

But to him, this was a trivial piece of news.

Regardless of how many Poisonous Mosquitoes appear in Ying Sang Kingdom, or how many Ying Sang People die, it has nothing to do with him.

At dawn's light.

Yang Fan landed on the rooftop of a tall building in the western district of Hejia City.

This time he wasn't planning to act recklessly.

Yang Fan's mouth curved: "Previously, there was no source of information, but now the Deceitful Artifact can gather information, I must employ some tactics."
