Chapter 356: Where Did the Space Stone Go
Morris had no idea that the two targets he was searching for, the Shadow King and Yi Chen, had been following him the entire time.
As he wandered aimlessly, he still couldn’t find a suitable place to train.
He could only look for a star, enter its core, and take out a batch of high-quality immortal stones for his training.
One hour, two hours, three hours…
Time flew by.
A day passed in the blink of an eye.
With Yi Chen tirelessly siphoning energy,
like a giant pump, the Luck Technique finally drained all of Morris’s fortune.
If he continued, no more blue Luck would flow into Yi Chen’s Qi Sea, and instead, it would turn into black Luck.
He immediately reversed the Luck Technique, sending the black Luck back to Morris.
After sending two more minutes of blue Luck to Morris, Yi Chen finally stopped.
“I’ve absorbed enough, take me away from here.”
Yi Chen quickly sent a message to the Shadow King.
“Alright!”
The Shadow King swiftly took Yi Chen away from the star.
In an instant, they arrived several million kilometers away.
“I’ll give you all the Luck I extracted from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy, specifically the kind consumed in a short period. Go back and see if you can get something valuable from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy using this Luck.”
Yi Chen instructed, “Based on my previous experience, there’s a chance to obtain the Space Stone from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe envoy.”
“Okay!”
The Shadow King felt a bit regretful.
This was all the fortune of a powerful being from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.
It seemed too extravagant to use it all at once.
It would have been better to add it to his own fortune and let it work gradually.
However, he only felt regret in his heart.
He had no hesitation in obeying Yi Chen’s command.
He even reached the level of Bai Ruo Xin.
No matter what strange orders Yi Chen gave, he would agree first and think later.
Yi Chen immediately used all the fortune he extracted from Morris on the Shadow King at once.
This way, for a short time, the Shadow King would definitely be an invincible presence in terms of fortune.
Even appearing right in front of Morris openly, he would surely turn misfortune into fortune.
However, if he acted recklessly like this, it would certainly consume a lot of Luck, and the benefits gained would be minuscule.
“Alright, you can go now!”
Yi Chen communicated.
The Shadow King nodded and immediately activated his ability to conceal his form, transforming into a dot smaller than specks of dust, flying towards the star.
He then ventured deep inside the star, positioning himself beside Morris, waiting for potential good fortune to unfold.
One minute, two minutes, three minutes…
In the blink of an eye, more than half an hour passed.
Morris paused his training.
“This damn place is really not suitable for our Tree-Dwelling Tribe. I actually forgot about the important matters.”
He couldn’t help but grumble.
After training for a whole day, he suddenly remembered that he hadn’t taken care of the important tasks.
A communication stone wrapped in green leaves appeared before him.
His Perception Ability entered the communication stone as he began to contact his strongest subordinate in the foreign affairs department.
He instructed the subordinate to gather their team and interact as much as possible with the lower-ranking personnel in the foreign affairs department. If they found out that humanity was approaching, they should find a way to control them and prevent them from contacting the High-ranking Leaders of the foreign affairs department.
His subordinate hesitated while speaking, almost making him lose his composure: “Sir, to have the lower-ranking personnel in the foreign affairs department pay more attention to humanity, and immediately inform us if they discover anything, we might need to offer them some benefits.”
“Although it doesn’t have to be much, there are so many lower-ranking personnel in the foreign affairs department. Even if we only get a few to help, it might still cost quite a bit of training resources…”
“These useless people, they only need to keep an eye out and notify us if they discover anything. It’s not a difficult task, yet they still want a reward?”
Morris couldn’t help but scold.
“This…”
The subordinate didn’t know how to respond.
“Alright then! Whoever finds humanity approaching and promptly informs you will receive a generous reward. The reward will be… one million Low-grade Immortal Stones!”
Morris decided.
“Understood!”
The subordinate replied.
A million Low-grade Immortal Stones counted as a generous reward…
He wanted to spit in Morris’s face.
“That’ll be all!”
Morris ended the call.
He couldn’t help but take out the Space Stone, using his Perception Ability to enter it and calculate the total value of all his resources and treasures.
This was a good habit he had developed long ago—inventory!
With this good habit, if he discovered that the growth of his total assets didn’t meet his expectations, he would be highly motivated to find ways to gather resource materials.
As he calculated, he started to feel a bit hesitant.
Finding Yi Chen is crucial, as it relates to the benefits promised by the human federation and the majority of high-quality resources and treasures held by Ketes, a powerful being from the Tree-Dwelling Tribe.
One million Low-grade Immortal Stones, although considerable for the lower-ranking personnel in the foreign affairs department, might not be enough.
If Yi Chen is eager to connect with the High-ranking Leaders of the foreign affairs department, he may scatter Ketes’s resources and treasures around. It’s possible that the lower-ranking personnel will view this as a bargaining chip, exchanging it for more resources and treasures from Yi Chen.
Even if they learn about Yi Chen’s whereabouts, they might not inform his subordinates.
Feeling that at least one hundred million Low-grade Immortal Stones are needed, he realizes that those subordinates should receive some incentive as well, or else they might lack motivation and defy his orders secretly.
With that in mind, he settles on the figure of one hundred million Low-grade Immortal Stones.
One offer is to provide information about Yi Chen, while the other is to control Yi Chen.
Both are promises.
If Yi Chen doesn’t go to the foreign affairs department, he won’t have to spend a single Immortal Stone.
If he can indeed control Yi Chen, the benefits he receives will far outweigh the two hundred million Low-grade Immortal Stones, which he can practically ignore.
Morris feels justified in having no friends; he is simply too clever, and everyone fears that being friends with him will lead to their disadvantage.
He takes out the communication stone again to contact his subordinate.
Not far away, the Shadow King’s heartbeat suddenly quickens.
When Morris pulled out the Space Stone, he recalled Yi Chen’s instructions and hesitated about whether to take the risk and try to seize the Space Stone.
What he didn’t expect was that Morris would use the communication stone again, not knowing who he was contacting.
Meanwhile, the Space Stone remained outside of Morris’s body.
With all of Morris’s attention directed at the communication, the success rate of seizing the stone would greatly increase.
With a determined resolve, the Shadow King moved quickly toward Morris.
Nine hundred meters, eight hundred meters, seven hundred meters…
When they were only three to four hundred meters apart, despite Morris continuing his conversation with his subordinate, his powerful Perception Ability sensed something amiss.
He frowned, preparing to enhance his ability to perceive.
Suddenly, the Shadow King launched himself, transforming into a shadow and rapidly flying toward Morris.
Morris instinctively controlled a branch to intercept the Shadow King.
The Shadow King skillfully avoided the branch, closing the distance without attacking Morris; instead, he took the Space Stone and turned to flee.
Morris was left bewildered.
What is happening?
He had been worried about finding the Shadow King, yet this guy came right to him.
But upon his arrival, Morris realized he had momentarily lost focus, failing to activate the strongest energy shield at first, instead instinctively trying to intercept.
Given the Shadow King’s speed advantage, he successfully evaded the interception and closed in, yet he didn’t attack before turning to run away?
Did he realize that even if the ambush succeeded, it would only cause a little injury before suddenly changing his mind?
This Shadow King seems a bit indecisive!
“Since you’re here, can you leave?”
Morris immediately responded, allowing a cold smile to spread across his face.
Although the Shadow Clan’s stealth techniques are powerful, they require time to execute.
His speed is equal to that of the Shadow King; as long as he stays on him, the Shadow King is undoubtedly doomed.
Morris considers it an easy victory over the most challenging task.
As long as he secures Yi Chen, the strongest member of humanity, he will soon return to the Tree Star Cluster with ample benefits.
But just as he plans to sprint after the Shadow King, Morris suddenly pauses.
Where is my Space Stone? Did it just not return to my body?
Where did it go?
