“Emessian Battle Suit?”
Ling Jiu was taken aback.
“That’s the Venom Suit in your tongue.”
9527 explained, “The Emessian Battle Suit is a standard-issue combat armor developed by the Emessian Civilization for our soldiers.”
“It has a variety of basic functions like strength augmentation, defense against attacks, resistance to radiation, and the like.”
Ling Jiu took his Venom Suit out and asked in confusion, “Since this is an Emessian armor, why has it appeared on Earth?”
“Those are the ones you Earthlings have obtained from Exploration Craft BES1269.”
9527 smiled and said, “Due to special reasons, BES1269 crashed on Earth, and many of its contents were obtained by you Earthlings.”
“Oh, I see!”
Ling Jiu nodded and wondered, “How many exploration crafts have you launched actually? There’s one here, and there’s another one on Earth, seems like a lot!”
“As for how many, you’ll find out yourself once you encounter a mothership in the future.”
9527 smiled and continued, “The Emessian Battle Suit you’re receiving as your reward is an intermediate suit, and the parameter increase is a hundred times. With your current Dark Bio-energy reserve, this intermediate suit is best suited for you. You won’t be able to feed the top-level ones.”
Ling Jiu nodded in understanding. The Venom Suit was a big consumer. The higher-leveled ones were not always better. Having one that was too high-leveled would suck one dry instead.
“The fourth reward, an Emessian War Blade.”
9527 went on, “This war blade is the same as the battle suit and is also a standard-issue for our Emessian warriors.
“Its sharpness is enough to tear through the defenses of Stellar Lifeforms, and it’s currently the most suitable for you.”
“Breaking the defense of a Stellar Lifeform!”
Ling Jiu was astounded.
A Stellar Lifeform was like a Level 10 and above Arcanist. With the war blade, was it now possible for him to hurt a Level 10 and above Arcanist? That was rather outrageous!
“The fifth reward is a Gravity Bracelet.”
9527 further said, “The gravity bracelet is another necessary training equipment for us Emessian warriors!”
“In a high-gravity environment, your training will be much more effective, gaining twice the result with half the effort. With it, your training speed will significantly improve.
“The gravity bracelet can adjust the wearer’s own center of gravity up to 100 times. I hope you can use it reasonably to increase the speed of your training.”
“This equipment is good!”
Ling Jiu was overjoyed. Although he could control gravity, it was unrealistic to train while controlling his gravity since that consumed too much Gene Arcana.
The gravity bracelet was different. After it was turned on, it did not consume his energy, and it could be activated anywhere, at any moment. Awesome!
“Well, that’s all the rewards I can give you. If you want more, then train hard!
“When you become a Stellar Lifeform, I believe the mothership will summon you.”
9527 let out a heartfelt sigh. “The mothership carries the core technology and training resources of the Emessian Civilization.
“Only by obtaining the mothership’s approval can you truly become one of the Emessians. Then, you will be receiving true aid.”
“Understood!”
Ling Jiu nodded slightly.
“Ling Jiu, our civilization has collapsed, while yours has just begun. The rise of every civilization cannot be separated from the efforts across generations, but the pioneers and pathfinders are more important. I hope that you will be Earth’s pathfinder.” 9527 sincerely hoped.
“You have gained the method to absorb Dark Bio-energy and started the correct evolutionary path. The upper limit of your potential has increased. As for where that path leads you, it will depend on your own effort!”
9527 waved his hand as a black ring appeared in front of Ling Jiu.
“This is the dimensional ring created by the Emessian Civilization, and it’s also one of the standard-issues equipped by our warriors!”
“Its internal space is about 10 kilometers by 10 kilometers by 10 kilometers, equaling 1,000 cubic kilometers. All four of your rewards are within it. You can check it yourself.”
“One thousand cubic kilometers?”
Ling Jiu was shocked, and he shuddered hard. His eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. What the hell? The space was just too big was it not? One needed to know that a top-level Dimensional Pocket was only 100,000 cubic meters wide.
How many cubic kilometers were 100,000 cubic meters? 0.0004 cubic kilometers!
When compared to 1,000 cubic kilometers, the difference between the two was not insignificant.
“With this dimensional ring, things will be a lot more convenient in the future!”
Ling Jiu grabbed the dimensional ring and carefully fiddled with it. On the surface, there seemed to be almost no difference between the material of the ring and the Venom Suit.
Soon after, Ling Jiu suddenly felt a tingling pain in his fingers.
The next moment, he saw a massive space.
At first glance, he could see no end in sight. The area was so large that it defied his imagination. At the center of this space, four objects were suspended quietly.
A purple stone.
A Venom Suit.
A black blade.
A black bracelet.
“The Dark Psionic Crystal!
“Venom Suit!
“The Emessian War Blade!
“Gravity Bracelet!
“With these four items, my strength and training speed will greatly improve!”
Ling Jiu was secretly excited as his consciousness immediately left the space. “Thank you, 9527!”
“You’re welcome!”
9527 smiled and said, “You can leave now, and you will be released alongside the other participants in the assessment.”
“Of course, I will return their Gene Arcana and wipe away their memories of the past few days!”
“With their memories wiped, they will naturally not reveal the exploration spacecraft. However, won’t the inexplicable disappearance of so many trainees for so many days arouse suspicion?”
Ling Jiu was puzzled.
For this hunt, all major training camps had invested hundreds of millions of nanomachines on Pandora to monitor the trainees’ every movement at all times.
The trainees who participated in the assessment had entered the spacecraft and disappeared for so many days.
How could that not be suspicious?
“About that, you can rest easy.”
9527 smiled. “The training room you are in has the ability to accelerate time. The five days you have spent in here are only minutes outside.”
“Plus!”
9527 looked up. “The nanomachine technology of your kind is too rudimentary. Scrambling their vision is just too easy.”
“Okay!” Ling Jiu nodded.
“Send me out then.”
“Very well!”
The floor beneath his feet shifted quickly as a massive hole appeared.
Ling Jiu entered it and found that he was out of the exploration craft at the bottom of the pit.
At the same time, Shi Gang and Dylon also came out but both of them were still unconscious. They only woke up after a while. “Where am I?”
“You two all right?”
Ling Jiu helped them up.
“Ling Jiu, what happened?”
Seeing Ling Jiu, Shi Gang breathed a sigh of relief before he immediately looked around in confusion. “Why is this place so dark? Are we still at the bottom of the pit?”
“After falling from the top of the pit, we probably passed out. I just woke up too!”
Right then, a soft white light suddenly shone from the side. The three immediately looked over and saw dozens of rocks at the corner of the pit.
The rocks were emitting a soft white light that was reminiscent of a rising sun in the sky.
“Ener… Energy crystals!”
“These are Energy Crystals!”
Both Shi Gang and Dylon’s eyes were green with envy.
“A total of 39, so exactly 13 per person!”
Ling Jiu smiled. These energy crystals must have been placed there by 9527…
