Chapter 624: Chapter 213: Madman Qin Feng! Widely Renowned, Light-Speed Growth, The Fourth Chalice
He immediately adjusted his mindset, raising the danger level of this competition to the highest.
"Hammer, activate your automatic search function."
Qin Feng commanded in a low voice, "Lower the quality threshold for search targets and sync with the Jade Token’s search function. Highlight any and all resources on the map that could benefit my current cultivation, no matter how big or small."
"Yes, Master."
Hammer responded immediately. "Functionality adjusted as per your request. However... I must remind you that my current detection range is only one light-year~ As your strength increases, my own power, which is deeply linked to yours, will also grow, and so will my detection range."
"Oh? You can get stronger too?"
This came as a surprise to Qin Feng.
"Yes, Master. Hammer is deeply bound to you. The stronger you become, the more Subspace computational power and authority I can access, making my functions more powerful."
"I see."
Qin Feng gave a slight nod and asked no more questions.
He began a grid search of the star system where he’d been deployed, starting from his own position.
Qin Feng didn’t use any kind of spacecraft. Instead, he traversed the cold vacuum of the cosmos with his physical body alone.
The physique of a Planet-level Strongman allowed him to move with the effortless grace of a great whale swimming through the ocean.
One planet, two, three...
He flew past a scorching planet radiating terrifying heat. The roiling magma on its surface couldn’t raise the temperature of Qin Feng’s power armor by a single degree.
He descended upon a lush, green Life Planet. His Mental Power swept over it, but he discovered that while the environment was pleasant, the planet had yet to give rise to any advanced life, let alone any Celestial and Earthly Treasures worth harvesting.
He plunged into the bottomless, pitch-black trenches of an ocean planet and set foot on the eternal, unmelted glaciers of a frozen one.
Unfortunately, he came up empty-handed.
’The ninth planet, the last one in this star system. I wonder if there’s anything good in its subterranean liquid ocean.’
Qin Feng conducted his final search.
However, the result was still a disappointment.
This meant that the small star system where he was first deployed was a complete wasteland, devoid of any valuable resources.
Without a moment’s hesitation, Qin Feng initiated a Subspace Teleportation, jumping directly to a neighboring star system.
Search for resources! If there were none, he’d immediately switch star systems!
The maximum gravitational influence of a star system spans about two to three light-years.
One hundred light-years could cover dozens of such star systems.
The instant his form solidified, the Jade Token Mark on the back of his hand erupted in an unprecedented, brilliant light!
[Detecting all high-value Resource Points within a one-hundred-light-year radius...]
[Detection complete!]
[Resource Points: 3]
[Now highlighted on your personal map. Please view at your convenience.]
The map on Qin Feng’s HUD instantly refreshed.
Three exceptionally eye-catching coordinates, each pulsating with a crimson halo, appeared clearly within the new star system.
’Finally, found something.’
With a thought, he summoned a sleek, aesthetically sci-fi personal spacecraft. It shot off like a streak of light, heading rapidly toward the nearest red dot.
The first red dot was located on a vibrant Life Planet.
As his spacecraft passed through the atmosphere, Qin Feng was captivated by the sight before him.
The planet’s surface was covered by a species of unbelievably massive trees. Each trunk was as thick as a mountain, with a canopy that pierced the clouds and blotted out the sun.
As the spacecraft wove through the gaps between the colossal trees, Qin Feng had the distinct impression he had arrived in one of the fabled Magic Worlds on the fringes of the Empire.
A sweep of his Mental Power revealed no humanoid intelligent life forms.
In fact, these seemingly ordinary giant trees were themselves a special type of life form containing immense Spiritual Energy—the perfect material for crafting high-grade Spiritual Energy Potions.
The spacecraft followed the red marker, heading deeper in.
Soon, he reached the core area, which was marked as having the highest value.
Before him was a colossal, ten-thousand-meter-high cliff face. But it wasn’t made of rock; it was formed from strange, layered, giant mushrooms.
On the caps of these mushrooms grew countless smaller fungi, each emitting a faint blue glow. A strange, refreshing fragrance that sharpened the mind permeated the air.
"This is the ’Spirit Mushroom.’"
Hammer’s codex function activated automatically, displaying the relevant data on a light screen.
"Effect: When consumed directly, it places a benign strain on the user’s Sea of Consciousness. The process of resisting this strain slowly tempers and enhances one’s Mental Power."
"Assessment: No toxic side effects. Classified as a top-tier auxiliary Celestial and Earthly Treasure for enhancing Mental Power."
"I see."
A hint of joy flashed in Qin Feng’s eyes. ’There must be at least tens of thousands of tons of Spirit Mushrooms here. What a great haul.’
He laughed heartily as he piloted the spacecraft to a smooth landing in a clearing at the base of the cliff. Then he stepped out of the cabin, ready to personally harvest these precious mushrooms for his cultivation over the coming millennium.
However, the very instant he set foot on the ground, a sharp whistling sound suddenly tore through the air from above!
A figure plummeted from the sky like a meteorite, crashing heavily onto the ground nearby and kicking up a wave of dust.
