Anyone could see the value of her items, especially the qilin fruit.
Although according to Guangguang, that lotus pod had cultivated a Golden Bell Shield on its own, claiming to be indestructible and impervious to everything.
There was only one way to open that layer of lotus pod shell.
But with the qilin fruit's heaven-defying effect, Mingxi even felt it was more precious than the mysterious and strange creation core.
Of course, it was also possible that Mingxi was overthinking it.
Perhaps no one even knew about the qilin fruit.
But sometimes, the unknown is the most alluring.
It's like... what you can't get always causes a stir, and what you can't recognize might be the real treasure.
Just like the You Yan Firmiana branch.
In short, as a citizen of Dragonflower Country, if the country needed her, she was willing to help, but the country absolutely could not trick her, especially not trick her out of her treasures!
"Don't worry, no one can take your things."
Chu Kuangsheng wasn't angry because of her attitude and put away the spatial item whose contract had already been canceled.
"And because of your excellent performance in this Martial Exam, the old men believe you have brought honor to the country and enhanced our national prestige. They just discussed it and decided to select two sss-grade items and two sss-grade materials suitable for you from the national treasury as your reward.
It's a bit little, mainly because the old men are quite stingy."
Hearing this, Mingxi's big eyes sparkled.
She nodded, it was indeed a bit little.
Leaving aside the creation core, her global ranking in the Martial Exam was first, which meant that Dragonflower Country was already in an unbeatable position regarding the ownership of the Creation Fruit.
So, the reward of two sss-grade items and two sss-grade materials was indeed not much.
Although she had many good things in her hands now, who would complain about having too many good things?
The more, the merrier.
"Instructor, can I go to the national treasury myself to pick the items and materials?" Mingxi asked with anticipation.
Chu Kuangsheng sneered, "You're beautiful, and you dream beautifully too. I haven't even been to the national treasury, and you want to go?"
Mingxi was surprised, "So, Instructor, are you that useless? You haven't even been to the national treasury?"
"..."
Useless.
This was the first time Chu Kuangsheng had heard anyone use the word 'useless' to describe him in his entire life.
He took a deep breath.
"Our country's national treasury can only be entered by Elder Council members!"
So it was definitely not because he was useless!
"Oh."
What a pity, she probably wouldn't have a chance in this life either.
At this moment, a certain big shot who had remained silent in the main seat suddenly spoke, "He's wrong, the national treasury is not only accessible to Elder Council members."
The old man's voice was authoritative and deep, and even though his voice wasn't loud, it was still impossible to ignore.
Mingxi and Chu Kuangsheng both looked at the old man.
They heard him continue:
"If a citizen of our country can win the Starsea Cup before the age of 20, they will have the opportunity to enter the national treasury and choose a national treasure."
Mingxi was stunned.
Win the Starsea Cup before the age of 20?
(●'◡'●)
This old man really knows how to joke.
Historically, the youngest Beast Tamers to participate in the Starsea Cup were 27 years old.
Winning the championship at 20?
Even an immortal transmigrator probably couldn't do it.
"Ignore him."
Chu Kuangsheng directly cut off all projected connections; those old men were an eyesore anyway.
Seeing the projection disappear, Mingxi breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Although the big shots weren't physically present, being stared at by so many shrewd and sharp eyes still put immense pressure on her.
Moreover, she indeed had something to discuss with Chu Kuangsheng alone.
"Instructor."
Mingxi tapped the spatial item on the table and then blinked.
Chu Kuangsheng raised an eyebrow.
But he quickly understood her meaning.
He summoned Litrubang and also gave it a look.
Then Mingxi saw Litrubang release an invisible light onto the spatial item.
"Speak, it's been completely sealed."
Mingxi certainly wouldn't doubt Litrubang's abilities.
"I think there might be something wrong with the creation core. It's best not to let Beast Tamers contract with it.
If it's absolutely necessary to contract, then it's best to find a Beast Tamers who doesn't want to live anymore, otherwise I'm worried something bad will happen."
Chu Kuangsheng frowned, "What is the basis for your speculation?"
"It's simple, because there's no such thing as a free lunch," Mingxi said with a solemn expression.
"Instructor, have you ever thought about why only limited-slot pets can enter that core space?
You should know that only Transcendent creatures that are contracted can become limited-slot pets. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Clearly, its goal from the start was Beast Tamers!"
"Why Beast Tamers?
For a creation core, oh, no, for a wild Transcendent creature, why specifically look for Beast Tamers?"
"To kill and eat them?
Then there's no need to specifically set limited-slot pets; any Beast Tamers would do.
So I can only think of one possibility: it wants to contract with a Beast Tamers!"
"When I found that no matter how I moved, the distance between me and the creation core would not shorten, I became even more certain of this guess.
To obtain the creation core, there's only one way: let it approach on its own." free𝑤ebnovel.com
Mingxi's fingertips tapped the table, "Facts prove I was right."
"But why?" She looked up at Chu Kuangsheng.
"Why does it go to such great lengths to find a Beast Tamers to contract?
Why, after the contract array was intercepted by the Thousand Spirit Envoy, was it still willing to come back with me?"
"It had no choice!"
Mingxi and Chu Kuangsheng spoke at the same time.
Mingxi nodded, "Yes, I think it had no choice but to contract with a human, otherwise it would die."
"Instructor, you don't know that the Thousand Spirit Envoy I just contracted has the characteristic of belief perception. It is very sensitive to danger. Why do you think it chose to intercept?"
Chu Kuangsheng's brows furrowed even deeper, "Also to survive!"
"Great minds think alike."
"Although I haven't asked the Thousand Spirit Envoy, considering all factors and eliminating all impossibilities, the only conclusion I can draw is that if I had completed the contract with the creation core, it would have posed a life threat to the Thousand Spirit Envoy!"
"I picked so many jin yang fruits and promised it that I would immediately let it leave the regressive symbiosis state when I returned. It was clearly about to gain freedom..."
Mingxi sighed lightly, "Based on the above, I can only draw one conclusion—when I complete the contract with the creation core, not only will I die, but my Pet Space and everything in my body will become the creation core's nourishment."
So Emerald Green had no choice but to intercept the contract array!
"...I understand. I will inform the Elder Council about this. Don't worry, it will definitely be handled carefully."
Chu Kuangsheng already believed Mingxi's speculation. After her analysis, there were indeed many unreasonable aspects to the creation core's behavior.
He couldn't help but sigh again, "Xiao Zaizi's brain is indeed sharp. She could think so much and so clearly in that situation."
"Mmm."
After Mingxi finished what she had to say, she completely put the matter out of her mind.
Anyway, she would absolutely not contract the creation core! Whoever wanted to contract it could go ahead!
"Oh, right, since you mentioned the Thousand Spirit Envoy."
