Sky-cracking Rider

Space Series Ability Users are more sensitive to Storage Magical Devices than others and can often identify them at a glance.

If it were Monk and Chen Fei, they would most likely dismiss it as ordinary jewelry.

After all, with so many spoils of war, there were many similar trinkets, and it was impossible to try them one by one.

The Space System Alchemy Storage Device identified by Heseman Brown was a ring, which was likely not going to remain hidden, but the contents inside were another matter.

Chen Fei extracted everything: a luxury sports car, a high-end SUV, an A-class motorhome, a small dinghy, a small flying ship, a barbecue grill, and other cooking tools, various meats and vegetables mainly for barbecue, dozens of boxes of wine of various grades, all sorts of camping gear, a large box of balloons like Bang Bao's Departure and Blocking Sprite, several sacks of Star Yuan cash totaling no less than three million, over a hundred kilograms of contraband drugs, more than ten types of exercise equipment, several firearms and ammunition, first aid medical equipment and drugs, with comprehensive land, sea, and air transportation means, catering to all indulgences and crossing bodily boundaries completely.

Finally, he dragged out four extremely heavy safes, the smaller ones nearly knee-high and weighing about 300 pounds, while the larger ones were easily taller than a person, weighing over a ton, with armor thickness presumably too thick for even railgun combat rifle bullets to penetrate, easily serving as a temporary cover.

But in front of Metal Elemental Psychic Power, the function of the safes was rendered completely null, contributing directly to Chen Fei's Dog System with four energy points.

Regrettably, "Adam" was not up to the task, constantly suppressed by the Dog System, unable even to decrypt energy points, otherwise it could give itself 999999999/999999999 energy points like a cheat, recovering 999999 points per second, essentially becoming unstoppable, potentially making the parasitic species unable to cope.

Chen Fei kept speculating that if the Dog System wasn't some kind of Psi Skill, it must be a very advanced AI system that could touch the rules of heaven and earth. After all, Special Abilities themselves are irrational, meaning anything is possible, much like "Adam," an unexpected product. Who could have anticipated that the AI developed in the initial phase would become self-governing to the point of uncontrollability?

The bodies of the four safes melted like snow and ice, and the contents soon revealed themselves.

The smallest safe contained more than a dozen identity documents, along with corresponding immovable property title documents and keys, belonging to five sovereignties. Miyoshi Xuesen glanced over it, clearly a "three dens for a smart rabbit" trick, but it seems there's no escaping the crime of forging documents located within those sovereigns, as the first-hand evidence for post-autumn reckoning is on hand. It's uncertain whether those sovereignties will admit this account, but if they don't, The First Sovereign will recognize it for them.

The second safe stored some shares and bonds, both registered and unregistered, still a resurgence capital from the "three dens for a smart rabbit" times. Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" estimated the value at about 10 billion Star Yuan, and Miyoshi Xuesen confirmed it was not far off, with a fluctuation of at most 5%. Financial asset valuations that are relatively easy to cash out are usually transparent.

The third safe contained some jewelry and antiques, small in volume and difficult to cash out, but wins at high value, with a total valuation also around 10 billion Star Yuan. However, the greatest significance is not cashing out, but for showing off in social occasions or establishing connections.

The fourth safe was the largest, and the items inside were of higher value, not only storing hundreds of magic potions and seventeen alchemical artifacts but also some unprocessed materials, including a few specialty crystals from Giant Turtle Star, possibly intended for future talented descendants or to make special connections.

Miyoshi Xuesen, curiously observing from the side, picked up a grayish object the size of a fist, weighed it in his hand, and said to Chen Fei, "This item is rather interesting!"

Chen Fei asked curiously, "What is it?"

Alchemy wasn't his specialty, though he could inscribe Magic Arrays; however, it was limited to copying and pasting. The principles were opaque to him, akin to understanding nine out of ten or none at all.

Most items in the other three safes could be identified by Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam," but even less than a tenth of the alchemical artifacts and various materials in the fourth safe could be recognized.

"It's a very rare alchemical material and one of the main materials for Space System Alchemy Storage Devices. Logically, it shouldn't appear on Blue Star. It must have been smuggled in, and neither the buyer nor the seller recognized it. Perhaps there was some deceit involved. Since it's in your hands, you better keep it safe."

Miyoshi Xuesen reluctantly handed the grayish item to Chen Fei.

He had no choice, as it was Chen Fei's spoil of war, and there was no excuse to embezzle it, especially with an S-Class Space Series Ability User watching closely, who might also discern its nature.

"This is a Dreamworld Stone, possessing four-dimensional rules."

As expected, Heseman Brown recognized the stone and named it directly.

"Four dimensions, length, width, height, and time! Ordinary Storage Magical Devices only have three-dimensional rules—length, width, and height—and cannot accommodate living entities, but the four-dimensional rules can. The 'Secluded Space Tower' you obtained has used Dreamworld Stone, albeit in a quantity no larger than a sesame seed, but the one in your hand now..."

The Monk involuntarily swallowed, restraining greed; this was something beyond his reach. After all, years of vegetarian practice had given him some measure of enlightenment. He probably wouldn't have survived to this day without it.

When civilizations between Blue Star and Cangqiong Star first established communication channels, numerous instances of mutual deceit occurred due to information asymmetry, with dung posing as jewels, although many items beyond the quota trade permit lists still made their way to the other planet.

Perhaps this hefty Dreamworld Stone was traded under the guise of other alchemical materials, unsighted by both buyer and seller alike, eventually winding up on Blue Star.

Had it gone through legitimate channels, it would probably have been intercepted before crossing the Dimensional Gate, without any chance of entering Blue Star.

Otherwise, it should have appeared in the treasury of Cangqiong Star's rulers, the Silan Royal Family, the secret stash of Sky Dragon City, or at least in the Lin Family's collection headed by the 'Master of the Firmament,' or the national treasury of Blue Star's First Sovereign.

Furthermore, the corporate magnates who invaded the giant battleship were nowhere near qualified to touch such rare items, and it absolutely shouldn't have been in the alchemical storage artifact of a wealthy young man.

They say excellent horses are easy to find, but wise trainers are rare; there are too many blindfolded people in the world, frequently resulting in hidden treasures being squandered.

"This could certainly be of use!"

Chen Fei's hand emptied as the fist-sized Dreamworld Stone vanished, absorbed into the "Spatial Branding."

The four-dimensional rules of an unprocessed Dreamworld Stone are in a solidified and enclosed stable state, ensuring no conflict with Chen Fei's Psi Skill "Spatial Branding," otherwise, it wouldn't have been absorbed into any Storage Magical Device by others.

"Find a piece of limestone later, shape it similarly..."

The S-Class Space Series Ability User stopped short and shifted his gaze elsewhere.

Mr. Brown quietly offered Chen Fei advice. Neither returning the item to its original owner nor surrendering it to the sovereignty—both stupid acts that grant others easy gains without any real benefit to oneself—would disgust him, so better to let Chen Xiao'er reap the benefit.

The Command Center only eavesdropped on Chen Fei, not on the others, and neither Monk nor the S-Class Superpower User were under 24-hour surveillance.

The three exchanged knowing glances. This single Dreamworld Stone alone could likely outweigh all the other contents taken from the ring-shaped Space System Alchemy Storage Device, probably exceeding the total value of the latter's collected items even if multiplied by a hundred.

After all, things like vehicles, flying ships, financial assets, asset documents, magic potions, other alchemical artifacts, and assorted alchemical materials couldn't compare to the Dreamworld Stone.

If something could indeed be produced from it, Miyoshi Xuesen and Heseman Brown might benefit too. Given current uncertainties about future developments, no one could ensure what might happen, so it was seen as an investment against future needs.

A grayish stone appeared at Chen Fei's feet, identical in outline to the Dreamworld Stone from before.

Artificial Intelligence AI "Adam" had selected the most suitable piece from stones collected by the Combat Mech patrolling near the flying ship, shaped precisely by machine tools, with an error margin of no more than one micron, sufficiently realistic and convincing.

At first glance at this stone, Monk's freshly sipped tea was immediately sprayed from his mouth, stricken with a ghost-seeing expression.

"Are there any other good items?"

Chen Fei turned his attention to other alchemical materials, hoping to identify another treasure akin to the Dreamworld Stone.

"This one, this one might pair well with the previous one, others... Although valuable, might not be usable."

Miyoshi Xuesen picked two more items from the alchemical materials, tossed them to Chen Fei, and then stepped back.

Then he turned to Heseman Brown and asked, "Does Mr. Brown have anything to add?"

"I don't recognize everything, but my knowledge is similar to yours."

The S-Class Space Series Ability User maintained an intentionally suggestive exchange.
