Looking at the empty box, Wang Xiao felt that his mind was as blank as this box.
“…It must be because I opened it the wrong way!”
Wang Xiao muttered and closed the box. After a few seconds, he opened it again. Not surprisingly, it was still empty.
“Are you kidding me?”
Wang Xiao turned to look at Qi Lianjun, his expression gradually turning ugly. “There’s nothing here. What do you want me to check?”
BoxNovel.com“Who says there’s nothing?”
Qi Lianjun patted the empty metal box and there was a muffled bang. “Don’t look down on this box. It’s actually an orange quality item from Purple Star. Its name is [Sound Realm Box].”
“Under normal circumstances, only items that can be ‘energized’ can be stored in the territory. However, with the [Sound Realm Box], even daily items can be stored in the territory!”
As he spoke, Qi Lianjun casually threw the pen and registration form into the [Sound Realm Box]. After closing the lid, he gently patted it, and the entire metal box turned into fragments of light that splashed and dissipated.
Then, Qi Lianjun connected to the territory and took out the [Sound Realm Box]. He took out a pen and registration form. “How is it? Is it very useful?”
“Yes… my ass!”
Wang Xiao instantly flew into a rage. “I want those star coins! After spending so much effort to bring me here, you only gave me such a lousy box. Whether it’s useful or not has nothing to do with me!”
“You want star coins?”
Qi Lianjun was stunned when he heard this. There was a faint helpless expression on his face. “Why didn’t you say so earlier? I thought you were interested in this item.”
“But Commander Chen…
Wang Xiao wanted to say that Chen Jinrong had promised to give him the money, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he realized that something was wrong.
Previously, in the office, Chen Jinrong had only said that he wanted to treat Lan Dahai’s ‘thing” as a reward for Wang Xiao. However, he had never said that it was “3 billion star coins”.
A feeling of being played welled up in his heart, but Wang Xiao could not say anything. After all, in the end, he could only blame himself for not asking clearly.
Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, Wang Xiao asked patiently, “I’ve made myself clear now. Can you give me those star coins?”
“No way.”
Qi Lianjun shook his head without thinking. “According to our statistics, there are a total of 3 billion star coins. This sum of money is not much in the entire Blue Planet, but it’s still enough to increase the defense level of Kaiyang City.”
Wang Xiao opened his mouth but did not say anything. It was not that he was speechless, but he was so angry that he did not know what to say.
Seeing Wang Xiao’s depressed expression, Qi Lianjun seemed to be unable to bear it. He thought for a moment and suggested, “Why don’t we do this? I’ll make a request to the commander and give you another [Sound Realm Box].” “What’s the use of having so many boxes!”
Wang Xiao replied angrily and suddenly thought of something else. “Why don’t we do this? I don’t want those star coins, but other than giving these two [Sound Realm Boxes] to me, you have to answer another question of mine.”
“Answer a question?”
Qi Lianjun thought for a moment and nodded. “But let me make it clear first. If your question involves confidential information, I won’t answer no matter what.”
“Understood.”
Wang Xiao agreed and asked after some words, “What do the numbers on those scrolls mean?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xiao realized that Qi Lianjun seemed to want to refuse to answer. Before the other party could speak, he added, “Don’t misunderstand. I don’t want to ask about your secrets. I’m just curious.”
“Curious?”
Qi Lianjun frowned slightly. “Do you think I’ll believe you if you give up three billion out of curiosity?”
Wang Xiao was speechless for a moment. He paused for a few seconds before saying angrily, “The prerequisite for ‘giving up’ is having it. You don’t even plan to give me the money. How can I give it up?”
..That seems to be true.”
Qi Lianjun nodded and pondered for a moment before saying, “I don’t have the right to reveal the exact situation to you, but according to the number of arrays on each scroll, we suspect that those numbers might be coordinates.”
“Coordinates?”
Wang Xiao was stunned when he heard this. “If every scroll is a set of coordinates, won’t these coordinates have more than 600 digits?”
“Not that many.”
Qi Lianjun waved his hand and wrote a string of numbers on the back of the registration form. “Those numbers should be some kind of secret language. After using the corresponding method to decode it, the true content of the scroll—”
As he spoke, Qi Lianjun quickly calculated on the paper. No one knew what reasoning he used, but in the end, he obtained a three-digit number.
“The decoding process is like this.”
Qi Lianjun drew a circle on the last three digits and sighed helplessly. “But we still don’t know the encryption method of those scrolls, so we can’t decode them for the time being. The guess of the ‘coordinates’ is still at the theoretical stage. ”
Wang Xiao looked at the dense numbers on the paper and instantly felt his head grow three times bigger. He hurriedly looked away and asked curiously, “Why didn’t you ask Lan Dahai? Those scrolls are his. He definitely knows what they mean, right?”
At the mention of Lan Dahai, Qi Lianjun’s gaze suddenly became strange. “We also want to ask him but you used too much force. He hasn’t woken up yet. How can we ask him?
“He hasn’t woken up?”
Wang Xiao’s eyes trembled. He remembered that he had heard from Lan Dahai that the matter of the Purple Star’s declaration of war was Turk’s attempt to disrupt the hearts of the Blue Planet’s people.
But if Lan Dahai was unconscious, how did they find out?
“There’s indeed a problem!”
Wang Xiao thought to himself and became even more certain of his previous guess. However, he still did not know what Chen Jinrong’s motive for setting up this trap was.
Judging from Qi Lianjun’s “nonsense”, he probably did not even know about the existence of this trap.
Therefore, Wang Xiao did not ask further. He changed the topic and said angrily, “Alright, I’ve finished asking my question. Please give me that [Sound Realm Box].”
“Wait here. Don’t walk around.”
Qi Lianjun reminded him before opening the door and walking out. Although Wang Xiao did not follow, the moment the door opened, he still saw a portion of the scene outside.
From the looks of it, there should be a corridor outside the door. The walls were made of countless transparent cabinets of unknown materials of various sizes. Inside the cabinets were the spoils of war of the foreign races that the military had collected on the battlefield.
Compared to the confiscated collection storage room, this place was more like a spoils of war exhibition hall. However, in terms of layout, there was nothing special about this place. However, the spoils of war in one of the cabinets made Wang Xiao’s pupils suddenly constrict!
It was a large saber the length of an arm. It was unknown what material the black saber was made of, but the hilt and the blade were inlaid with a few crystal clear gems. It looked like a high-level item.
The reason why Wang Xiao noticed it was because the appearance of the saber was almost identical to the saber Lan Dahai used!
