Unboxing

At least Wang Dong was quite satisfied.

If he had such a module during the chase, it would have saved him so much trouble... But being chased was impossible in this lifetime. Otherwise, it would all be in vain.

Wang Dong smirked.

Now that he understood what was needed, the Pond no longer hesitated.

Facing merely a migrant spaceship, even if it was a creation of a second-tier interstellar civilization, Wang Dong was unfazed.

Apart from the Dawn Light itself, the five million migrants onboard were also seen as fat meat by Wang Dong.

The individual organisms of the Sulon civilization looked like enlarged versions of starfish, living in aquatic environments. Wang Dong didn't regard them as human at all.

The Pond disengaged from stealth mode. After the main cannon finished charging, its first target was the engine of the Dawn of Light.

It was right to disable the propulsion first.

Although it was just a migrant spaceship, the Dawn Light was not entirely defenseless.

After the sudden attack, the Dawn Light quickly responded.

From various positions on its hull, over ten laser cannons emerged.

Before the Dawn Light's power completely disappeared, these laser cannons targeted the Pond several times.

Unfortunately, these low-power lasers had some effect against things like space debris, but they were utterly ineffective against the Pond.

Moreover, as a precaution, the Pond activated its own energy shield.

The counterattack from the Dawn Light couldn't even cause a ripple on the energy shield.

No matter how desperate the crew of the Dawn Light was, reality continued to progress in accordance with objective laws.

Under the Pond's attack, the Dawn of Light had no chance to resist.

After a few minutes passed, the engines of the Dawn of Light were completely destroyed, and its feeble counterattack quickly faded away.

Wang Dong avoided the location of the particle repair robots and, with the Pond's main cannon, fired dozens of shots at different parts of the Dawn of Light before finally sinking it.

Mainly because the Dawn Light was too large.

Acquired 261 source points.

Although the Pond Number's rate of source point acquisition was only 25%, due to confronting a second-tier interstellar civilization in this dimensional battlefield, the gains were doubled.

Source points obtained from a second-tier interstellar civilization were twice those from a first-tier civilization.

Remaining source points: 438.

From the wreckage of the Dawn Light, Wang Dong's armed robots carefully retrieved the particle repair robots.

Normally, such meticulous scavenging of loot should be done by crew members.

However, currently, there was only Wang Dong himself aboard the Pond.

He had no choice but to let the armed robots take on tasks that they normally wouldn't.

Subsequently, the Pond swiftly left this area.

The main task was completed, but the twenty-four-hour duration of this dimensional battlefield was far from over, so Wang Dong couldn't return to his own universe yet.

But he wasn't idle.

On the contrary, aboard the Pond, there was still a batch of previously acquired loot awaiting his personal unpacking.

There were thirteen boxes in total.

These were obtained from ambushing Chen Bao's group, the last belongings of the Tianhu Caravan Fleet. These thirteen boxes were made of special materials resistant to high temperatures and pressures.

Initially, Wang Dong had relied on the remote command of the quantum entanglement brainwave manipulation system to ambush and had never returned to the Pond after obtaining these thirteen boxes.

Therefore, this batch of loot had yet to be opened.

Now, with time available, he certainly had to open them immediately.

Wang Dong was eager to find out what the Tianhu Caravan Fleet had left as their final assets accumulated over many years.

Wang Dong selected a vacant cabin as the unpacking site and had the armed robots open the box covers to guard against any traps inside, although the likelihood was minimal.

But at times like this, when conditions allowed, a bit of caution was never excessive.

The first box opened smoothly, and its contents were quite familiar.

As thick as an arm, glowing faintly, it was precisely the Star Grass that Wang Dong had recently used, essential resources for the Body Building Technique.

There were three Star Grass plants in this box.

Wang Dong smiled silently.

Indeed, it was a good thing, but unfortunately, it was only for the civilian class.

Closing this box and setting it aside, Wang Dong continued opening the others.

The second box opened.

Inside was a red cushion, neatly arranged on top of which were four rows of four columns of semi-transparent crystals.

Wang Dong smiled faintly and lifted the cushion, confirming that there was another layer underneath.

This box contained low-grade energy crystals, totaling thirty-two.

Not bad. These were essential resources for Wang Dong's auxiliary system to function.

The third, fifth, and seventh boxes also contained low-grade energy crystals.

The specifications were the same, all finely polished low-grade energy crystals, each one a standard unit. Altogether, four boxes contained a total of one hundred and twenty-eight crystals!

Storage of low-grade energy crystals: 181 units.

The fourth box similarly contained energy crystals, but their transparency noticeably increased by a notch.

There were no upper and lower layers in this box, just sixteen crystals.

However, Wang Dong was quite satisfied already. These were medium-grade energy crystals, something difficult to find on the market.

Storage of medium-grade energy crystals: 24 units.

What surprised and even frightened Wang Dong was the contents of the tenth box!

It contained a completely transparent crystal, faintly sparkling with stars in the center!

It was alone, securely fixed between double-layered cushions.

Wang Dong lifted it with trembling hands.

After confirming multiple times, Wang Dong burst into laughter.

Yes, this was indeed the legendary high-grade energy crystal!

Each piece was highly valuable and an ultra-rare resource that was almost nonexistent on the market!

Moreover, it was a crucial resource for further developing Wang Dong's auxiliary system!

The auxiliary system of Wang Dong currently had only two categories of activated functions: "Permanent Functions" and "Optional Functions."

Among them, there were two permanent functions: "Scanning" and "High-speed human-machine data interaction," which could be used normally without additional resource consumption.

There were three optional functions: "Capture of dimensional signals," "Doubling module growth value," and "Selective module characteristics."

Using these three functions required consuming energy crystals.

However, the functions of the auxiliary system were not limited to just these.

After Wang Dong became the captain of the Pond, the auxiliary system was officially activated. In addition to the "Permanent Functions" and "Optional Functions," there was also a major category called "Advanced Functions."

When the system was first activated, there were only two advanced functions: "Doubling source point acquisition" and "Lifting restrictions on dimensional civilization levels."

The former was straightforward: by consuming one unit of high-grade energy crystal, the source points obtained by Wang Dong's Fire Warship in the dimensional battlefield would double compared to before!
