Chapter 102: Black Dragon Egg!

Zhou Huai thought to himself.

He didn't hold out too much hope anyway.

After all, even the Great Masters of the Holy Light attribute were helpless before.

These few bottles of holy light spiritual water probably wouldn't play a decisive role either.

But keeping it in mind couldn't hurt.

In case there was nothing more desired in the special-grade treasury, it wouldn't be too late to come back up and get it.

The two got back into the car.

The vehicle continued downward along another ramp.

The security on this level was obviously much tighter than the upper levels.

Passing through three heavy alloy gates in succession, each door was guarded by two fully armed squads of soldiers.

Their eyes were sharp and their auras steady, obviously elites in the military.

The vehicle finally stopped in a much broader area.

Assistant Xiao Liu got out of the car, and his expression also became serious.

"Mr. Gandalf, this is the special-grade treasury area."

Zhou Huai controlled Gandalf and stepped out of the car.

The space before them was not large, even somewhat empty.

There were no dazzling display cabinets, only more than a dozen independent circular display stands sparsely distributed everywhere.

Every display stand was enveloped by a visible layer of energy barrier, exuding a heart-palpitating fluctuation.

Zhou Huai's gaze landed on the nearest display stand.

Inside the barrier, a cluster of deep blue flames burned quietly, emitting a bewitching light.

The core of the flame was a deep purple, as if it could devour a person's mind.

Even across the energy barrier, Zhou Huai could feel a scorching heatwave rushing towards his face.

"As expected of a special-grade treasury."

Zhou Huai thought to himself.

"An alien fire right off the bat."

Assistant Xiao Liu stepped forward with a hint of pride in his voice.

"This is the [Flame of the Frigid Winter], a C-rank alien fire."

"It was discovered by our military region in an ancient Secret Realm in the northern border."

"It not only possesses extremely high temperature, but also comes with a freezing effect, making it a very rare dual-attribute alien fire."

C-rank alien fire.

The effect is indeed good.

It's a pity that Gandalf already had the Soul-Devouring Nether Flame in his body.

If this alien fire were forcibly absorbed again, the two forces would conflict, and it would most likely cause his body to burst and die on the spot.

As for the other Clones, they didn't have fire-related abilities and couldn't bear it at all.

Zhou Huai shook his head.

"I can't use this."

Xiao Liu nodded without any surprise, leading him toward the next display stand.

"Then please take a look over here."

Zhou Huai's gaze swept across.

Inside the glass display stand, a few uniquely shaped fruits lay quietly, their surfaces surrounded by faint white Qi.

One looked like a grenade.

One closely resembled a pair of flip-flops.

And another one, wrinkled and withered, looked very much like an undried pair of bitter underpants.

Zhou Huai's eye twitched.

This thing…

Can't it be like the Devil Fruits in One Piece…

Eating it allows you to gain an Awakening of new abilities?

Xiao Liu saw his confusion and explained with a smile.

"These are attribute fruits."

"Different fruits can increase different attribute points."

He pointed at the grenade.

"This is the strength fruit."

He pointed at the slipper again.

"This is the agility fruit."

Finally, he looked at the underpants, and his expression became somewhat subtle.

"This… is the mental fruit."

"Taking one can permanently increase the corresponding attribute by an average of 20 to 50 points."

Zhou Huai suddenly understood.

So these were attribute fruits.

They were the most direct and effective way to boost attributes in this world besides leveling up.

Their place of origin was also in those fleeting Secret Realms.

Their numbers were scarce, and every single one was worth a city.

On the black market, even an inferior product that could only increase attributes by twenty points could fetch an astronomical price of millions.

Seeing that Gandalf seemed somewhat tempted, Xiao Liu added.

"Mr. Gandalf, if you want to exchange for attribute fruits, the Governor has specially approved that three fruits can count as one of your exchange opportunities."

After hearing this, Zhou Huai resolutely shook his head.

"Let's look around more."

One chance traded for dozens of attribute points.

It was too much of a loss.

He continued to tour the special-grade treasury area.

Every single item here could be called a rare treasure.

Legendary equipment blueprints that could make S-Class Professionals go crazy.

There was even an eyeball rumored to have been peeled from the skull of a powerful alien beast.

Although these things were precious, Zhou Huai couldn't use most of them.

He browsed casually all the way until he stopped in front of a display stand.

His gaze was firmly attracted by the thing on the display stand.

That was a huge egg.

It was as big as two footballs.

The eggshell was pitch black throughout, smooth like obsidian, and engraved with countless intricate golden patterns on its surface.

Those patterns seemed to have life, flowing slowly on the eggshell, exuding an ancient and primitive aura.

"What kind of egg is this?"

Xiao Liu took a look, a wry smile appearing on his face.

"Mr. Gandalf, this is a Dragon egg."

"A Dragon egg?"

Zhou Huai's breathing stagnated for a split second.

Xiao Liu sighed and continued.

"It is said that it has been in this treasury for at least fifty years."

"During this period, many generals and powerhouses who had made great contributions had exchanged for it and taken it away."

"They tried all kinds of methods, burning it with fire, striking it with lightning, dropping blood to claim ownership…"

"But this egg never showed any signs of hatching."

"In the end, they could only helplessly return it."

He paused and added in a certain tone.

"The only thing we can be sure of is that the vital signs inside are very vigorous; it is still alive."

"It's just that we haven't found the correct method to hatch it to this day."

Looking at Gandalf, Xiao Liu seemed to see through his thoughts.

"Mr. Gandalf, you can also exchange it and take it back to try."

"The Governor has given instructions that if you cannot hatch it either, you can send it back at any time and exchange it for other treasures."

Zhou Huai's heart beat wildly.

There was such a good thing?

Isn't that a free trial-and-error opportunity?

Riding a Dragon!

Which man wouldn't want to?

When Li Qiu of the Tianyu Guild made an appearance riding a Silver Dragon, looking so dashing, he had envied him for a long time.

Now, the opportunity was right in front of him.

"This is it."

Zhou Huai reached out his finger and pointed at the pitch-black Dragon egg.

"This is the first piece."

Xiao Liu immediately nodded and made a record on the terminal in his hand.

Zhou Huai continued to walk forward.

Soon, he stopped in front of another display stand.

This time, what was displayed in the stand was a women's long dress.

The style of the dress was not complicated, even somewhat retro.

But it was woven entirely from an unknown silver thread, flowing with moonlight-like radiance under the light.

The hem of the skirt was dotted with countless tiny diamond-like crystals, as if wearing the entire starry sky on one's body.

Holy, noble, breathtakingly beautiful.

Xiao Liu immediately stepped forward to introduce it.

"Mr. Gandalf, you have such a good eye."

"This long dress is named [Embrace of the Stars]."

"Thirty years ago, Governor Hou personally led a team and dropped it from the final boss of a Hell-grade Secret Realm."

He paused, his tone a bit regretful.

"Although it is of legendary quality, its attributes and affixes are very average, not even as good as some top epic equipment."

"The only advantage is that it comes with two traits: [Holy Radiance] and [Spotless]."

"The former allows the wearer to bring their own Holy Light special effects, and the latter ensures that this long dress will never be stained with any dirt."

Xiao Liu smiled.

"Therefore, although its practical combat value is not high, it wins in being pretty."

"If given to a female companion, she will definitely like it very much."

In Zhou Huai's mind, Ye Xi's refined and ethereal face instantly surfaced.

Ye Xi's birthday seemed to be coming soon.

"I'll take this one."

Zhou Huai didn't hesitate at all.

Average attributes? Trash affixes?

None of that was a problem.

As long as it is handed over to Ou Yezi and refined a few times casually, it can be reborn.

By then, this [Embrace of the Stars] can definitely become a well-deserved legendary-grade equipment.

Xiao Liu nodded again and quickly made a record.

Only the last piece remained.

Zhou Huai strolled around the special-grade treasury area again.

Although the remaining items were also very precious, to him, their appeal was not as good as those two pieces.

Zhou Huai weighed it for a moment and made a decision in his heart.

He turned around and walked back to the second underground floor.

Seeing this, Xiao Liu was slightly stunned and hurriedly followed.

Zhou Huai walked straight to the corner display stand where the holy light spiritual water was placed.

"For the third item, I want this."

Although Xiao Liu didn't understand what Gandalf used this holy light spiritual water for, he still quickly made a record.

"However,"

Zhou Huai changed the subject at this moment.

"Compared with the Dragon egg and the Embrace of the Stars, the value of this holy light spiritual water seems to be a lot lower."

"Why don't you give me all three bottles?"

Xiao Liu was in a bit of a dilemma for a moment.

"Mr. Gandalf, this… this is already an exception made by the Governor…"

Zhou Huai continued to bargain.

"Look, I have already given up the opportunity to choose in the special-grade treasury, can't you make another exception for me?"

He held out two fingers.

"Then it's fine if I take one more bottle, right?"

A layer of fine sweat seeped from Xiao Liu's forehead.

The Governor had given instructions before to satisfy Gandalf's requests as much as possible.

He had no choice but to nod.

"In that case, Mr. Gandalf can take two bottles of this holy light spiritual water."

Zhou Huai grinned happily.

"Then many thanks."

Xiao Liu hurriedly opened the display stand, carefully took out the two bottles of holy light spiritual water, and put them into a specially made box.

At this point, all three treasures were selected.
