"This...this..."

Soon, Shengyi brought the Black Skeleton over. Upon seeing the displayed power of the numerous forces on the battleship, the Black Skeleton's eyes widened in disbelief.

He hadn't anticipated that so many forces had discovered this place. At this moment, he even felt a sense of relief.

Luckily he hadn't steadfastly kept this secret to himself. With so many forces discovering the Heavenly-luck Flower, what would have been the point of him clinging onto this secret?

If he hadn't been captured by Lin Yun and his group, if he had come here himself, the chances of him obtaining this treasure from among these forces would have been extremely slim. Worse, he may have faced great danger.

"A top-tier battleship of seventh-level technological civilization, and not just one, but many other battleships of the same civilization level..."

Looking at the many levels of the battleships displayed in the hologram, the Black Skeleton took a deep breath, his heart full of shock.

From them, he recognized the fleet of a Duke from the Kodis Empire.

He even knew which Duke's fleet it was.

But how could their Duke from the Kodis Empire possess such powerful strength?

How could their official fleet of the Kodis Empire be this powerful?

His own strength was only at the initial stage of the tenth level.

A top-tier battleship of seventh-level technological civilization was equivalent to a martial artist at the peak of the tenth level. This was only one of them, and there were two, plus many other powerful battleships of the same civilization level. Against such strength, he was truly insignificant.

"I...I didn't know... it would turn out this way..." he stammered.

"Humph!"

Lin Yun snorted.

"Shengyi, take him away!"

Said Lin Yun.

Having the Black Skeleton here was just a way to vent his frustration; his presence wouldn't change the unfolding situation no matter how much he was tortured.

Besides, the Black Skeleton indeed brought him to a great opportunity.

From the current situation, his chances of obtaining the Heavenly-luck Flower were still considerable.

"In the next few days, keep a close watch on Master Ming and his group's movements with our scanning equipment. As soon as the Heavenly-luck Flower blooms, if you discover them rushing over here, I will pluck the Heavenly-luck Flower..."

Lin Yun decided secretly.

Sigh

He closed his eyes and continued to cultivate.

"The number of Spirit Crystals is still too small. Now, my Martial Arts have reached the initial stage of the ninth level, and my Mental Strength can be promoted to the lower ranks of the eleventh level. But, the number of Spirit Crystals required to elevate the Mental Strength to the lower eleventh level is too many..."

Lin Yun sighed in his heart.

To raise Mental Strength from the peak of the tenth stage to the lower ranks of the eleventh level, almost fifty trillion Spirit Crystals were needed. Initially, he had that many Spirit Crystals, but they were spent on purchasing scanning and shielding equipment.

Now, he could barely provide such a number of Spirit Crystals, but he couldn't possibly use all of the Spirit Crystals in his possession for this purpose. If he did, he wouldn't be able to provide for the consumption of the robots.

What a pity...

Otherwise, his actual strength could be improved even further, and his cultivation speed could also be faster.

Time flew quickly, and in the blink of an eye, two more days had passed.

Over those two days, all the forces surrounding the Heavenly-luck Flower remarkably refrained from any action.

Obviously, none of the leaders of the forces was a fool.

They could fight all they wanted when the flower bloomed.

Fighting now would only expose the situation here.

Nobody could assure that they would kill all the others before someone leaked the information. Nobody could guarantee that even if they managed to do so, the others didn't have any other ways to get the news out. Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire

During these two days, several forces showed up once again, two of them from the Kodis Empire and three from other level-five civilizations in the vicinity.

It was obvious that these forces were startled to discover so many other forces in play when they arrived.

However, they quickly regained their composure.

Some were even exchanging greetings.

They understood each other perfectly and none raised a hand.

In the blink of an eye, over half the day had passed.

Only seven or eight hours remained before the Heavenly-luck Flower bloomed.

A rich fragrance wafted from the Heavenly-luck Flower as its buds began to shudder and slowly open. The fleets of various powers starting to become restless.

Whoosh—— Whoosh—— Whoosh——

At that moment, another fleet arrived in the Star Domain.

"Huh?"

Notified by the alert from his Battleship, Lin Yun opened his eyes to look ahead.

"The fleet of Kodis Royal family..."

Looking at the insignia of this fleet on the star map, Lin Yun's eyes slightly narrowed as he whispered.

Moreover, this fleet of the Kodis Royal Family consisted of thirty-five battleships, all of which were top-quality battleships of the seventh-level civilization.

This fleet was a super fleet composed entirely of top-grade battleships of the seventh-level civilization.

If they fully utilized these battleships, they would be equivalent to the strength of thirty-five peak-level cultivators.

Lin Yun took a deep breath.

In such a situation, only relying on Shengyi wouldn't be enough to stabilize the situation.

The Kodis Royal Family had even dispatched such a supremely powerful fleet just for the Heavenly-luck Flower.

Lin Yun was speechless.

Could it be that the Kodis Royal Family had just purchased a large number of top-grade battleships of level seven civilization, and seeing no better place to show off, they decided to test them out here?

Regardless of their intentions, Lin Yun had to take them seriously now.

"Could it be necessary to buy more robots with the strength of a level eleven martial artist?" Lin Yun frowned.

This Heavenly-luck Flower was something he absolutely couldn't let slip away. To be on the safe side, this seemed like the only viable option.

"Nevertheless, should I buy two or three robots with the strength of an early-stage level eleven martial artist, or should I purchase one robot with the power of a mid-stage one, or should I simply grit my teeth and buy one robot with the strength of a late-stage level eleven martial artist?" Lin Yun pondered.

The last option was certainly tempting.

Last time, he had encountered Master Ming's group at the Kodis Royal Family. The strongest among them were two robots with the power of mid-stage level eleven martial artists.

If he were to buy a robot with the strength of a late-stage level eleven martial artist, he would undoubtedly feel much more assured.

Do note that a robot with the strength of a late-stage level eleven martial artist was not necessarily weaker than two robots with the strength of a mid-stage level eleven martial artist.

Considering this, it would be worth spending five trillion Spirit Crystals on a robot with the strength of a late-stage level eleven martial artist.

After all, if he wanted to buy two robots with the strength of mid-stage level eleven martial artists, it would cost him six trillion Spirit Crystals.

The calculation was simple for Lin Yun.

A high-grade robot of the same level was always more cost-effective.

However, that would mean he would have to spend all his resources.

Because he did not have five trillion Spirit Crystals, he would need to scrape them together from all possible sources while also ensuring to account for the energy consumption of all these robots.

"I guess I'll buy a robot with the strength of a mid-stage level eleven martial artist..." After hesitating for a moment, Lin Yun sighed softly.

Although he could scrape together the funds, doing so would leave him with very few Spirit Crystals, restricting his actions thereafter.

So long as he did not face off against Master Ming's group, a robot with the strength of a mid-stage level eleven martial artist, coupled with Shengyi, should be sufficient. If they did end up facing Master Ming's group, even a robot with the strength of a late-stage level eleven martial artist would not suffice.

Therefore, his choice was clear.

Buzz——

With Lin Yun's decision, a large number of Spirit Crystals disappeared from his Cosmic Trading System account.
