Chapter 239 Treasure Hunt in the Garbage Mountain
Although the Heavenly Mantle Battle Armor has been upgraded to a treasure, some of its abilities are still unsatisfactory in Chen Yuan's opinion.
That's right, we're talking about "the power of soldiers and armor".
It should be noted that when the Heavenly Armor was still at the sixth tier, the power of the armor could provide a thousand times the amplification of the power of a Realm Lord.
Now, after being optimized to the eighth rank and seventh level, it is comparable to a top-tier treasure, but its power amplification has only increased by three thousand times.
The root cause is the lack of optimized data.
Based solely on the data the system gleaned from the armored vehicles, optimizing it to a factor of three thousand is already the limit; further optimization is not impossible.
Yes, the price-performance ratio is too low.
Even if you optimize the Heavenly Mantle into a supreme treasure, the base amplification will only increase to a maximum of five thousand times, and the attribute bar will still have that laughable "Power of Armor".
Leaving aside the ultimate treasure, even compared to the derivatives of the "Calamity Armor," the current Heavenly Mantle Battle Armor is at least at the "King Armor" level, or even comparable to the "Imperial Armor."
However, in terms of basic enhancement, let alone the King Armor, even the Heavenly Armor cannot compare to the General Armor.
It should be noted that the armor was only worn by ordinary immortals, and its quality was at most sixth-tier, yet it could amplify the power of a realm lord ten thousand times, leaving the Heavenly Light far behind.
Therefore, continuing to optimize the Heavenly Light is imperative. Chen Yuan deliberately did not optimize the Heavenly Light to the peak of the eighth rank in order to leave room for the upgrade of the weapon power.
To enhance the effectiveness of armor, one needs to find fragments of armor from the garbage mountain.
Unlike the armor for soldiers, Chen Yuan didn't find any information about generals' armor in the treasure vault. There wasn't even a fragment, let alone a complete set, probably because it was so precious.
The company must have obtained complete armor pieces and fragments, but most likely they were used for research, and there were no spares to sell.
Therefore, if you want to obtain the armor fragments, you can only search for them like finding a needle in a haystack in a garbage dump.
Chen Yuan was even prepared for a long-term battle in the garbage mountain, and it would be worth it even if it took ten years to piece together a single piece of armor.
Of course, if he really couldn't find it, he would have to find a way to get Luo Feng to come over. After all, as the successor of the Mountain-Sitting Guest, Luo Feng had a special connection to the derivatives of the Calamity Armor. Since Chen Yuan still had the high-level world ring that came with his purchases, he didn't need to buy any more Taobao qualifications.
He went directly to the office and explained the situation. The staff there quickly arranged for two white-robed guides to lead him into the Wulong Starfield.
Of course, the two leaders this time were not the same two as before. They seemed to be somewhat taciturn and hardly spoke to Chen Yuan along the way, except for necessary reminders.
A moment later, the three arrived at an observation point in the Wulong Starfield aboard their spaceship.
After leaving the spaceship, Chen Yuan didn't head straight to the garbage dump to start his treasure hunt. Instead, he stood still and performed a mental scan.
In an instant, he took in the scenery spanning hundreds of millions of kilometers. Unfortunately, among these hundreds of thousands of garbage mountains, he did not detect any trace of the fragments of Jiang Shen.
"Let's go, this place isn't suitable for me." Chen Yuan shook his head. "Let's travel directly to the next coordinate via the dark universe."
Within the Wulong star system, countless dark cosmic coordinates were set up for spaceships to traverse, allowing them to reach another coordinate almost every few tens of seconds.
Of course, these spatial coordinates may seem densely packed, but on the scale of the primitive universe, a spaceship could travel tens of light-years away in a single trip.
After all, the Wulong Starfield is too vast, and Chen Yuan is unwilling to fly slowly through the primitive universe. He would rather travel through the dark universe to various coordinate points and then use his mind scan to search for the Shen fragments.
With his scanning range, a single scan covers hundreds of millions of kilometers, which is much more efficient than slowly flying around to find it.
At Chen Yuan's request, the two men in white robes continued to move between various coordinate points.
Each time the spaceship returned to the original universe, Chen Yuan didn't even need to leave the cabin. He could simply scan it with his mental power and shake his head to indicate that he was heading to the next coordinate.
Although the two leaders didn't talk much, they were also secretly puzzled by this strange situation, wondering what the prince was trying to do.
Fortunately, after 63 space travels, the situation finally changed.
"Stop, this is it."
Chen Yuan's sudden words interrupted the instinctive actions of the two white-robed men, one of whom couldn't help but ask, "Is Your Highness sure you want to search for treasure in this area?"
"Hmm, I think this place has a nice environment; we should be able to find some suitable treasure."
Chen Yuan smiled. "You two can just follow behind me."
The two men in white robes nodded, and then the three of them left the spaceship and flew together toward the garbage mountain.
The two people following behind Chen Yuan did not notice that Chen Yuan, who was flying ahead, had a hint of excitement on his face.
"My body—it actually reacted!"
Of course, this wasn't some random reaction; rather, his body vaguely sensed that a force was calling to him from the distance in this starry sky.
Chen Yuanke understood all too well what this meant—it meant that the derivatives of the Calamity Armor also had an attraction for his body!
"I never thought I could sense these fragments remotely, but I bought a lot of armor fragments before, and there was no reaction at all."
Chen Yuan pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized: "That's right, the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual!"
"If that's the case, then it makes sense."
After all, when he bought the armor fragments, he hadn't yet cultivated the Nine Tribulations Secret Scripture, so naturally those fragments wouldn't react.
"It's also my fault. After optimizing the power of the armor, I thought those armor fragments were unimportant and just threw them away."
"Otherwise, I should have noticed much sooner."
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan shook his head slightly: "However, the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual that I cultivate has been optimized by the system, I didn't expect it to be recognized."
"But regardless, this is a good thing." Feeling the summoning force drawing ever closer, Chen Yuan smiled. "This will greatly improve my efficiency in searching for the armor!"
Not long after, Chen Yuan stopped in front of a huge mountain of garbage.
With a sweep of mental power, the situation inside the garbage mountain became crystal clear.
"1—.—.7..A total of 13 pieces of armor fragments."
"And—a fragment of armor!"
Chen Yuan didn't care about the fragments of armor and weapons, but the fact that there were fragments of general's armor hidden in this mountain of garbage was a pleasant surprise.
"Here comes the data for Person A!"
Chen Yuan felt the power of the armor beckoning to him. He first gave instructions to the two white-robed men, and then couldn't wait to enter the garbage mountain in front of him, heading straight for the armor fragments.
A moment later, Chen Yuan found a silvery-white fragment.
Seeing that the fragments were exactly the same as those described in the original work, Chen Yuan grabbed them and put them away. At the same time, he instructed the system: "Collect the relevant data from the armor fragments and calculate the results of optimizing the armor's power."
The system quickly provided an answer:
[Data collection complete. Data completeness for A: 0.97%. Calculations show that optimizing the power of weapon A with the current data can increase it to 3350 times the power of a Realm Lord.]
"Only 350 times more? But it's still a good start, considering it's just a fragment."
Seeing that there was hope for upgrading the armor's power, Chen Yuan was in a very good mood: "Let's keep searching. Anyway, since I can sense these fragments remotely, my speed in collecting the armor will definitely not be slow."
Moreover, when Chen Yuan combined his mental scanning ability with his ability to sense the fragments of the armor, he discovered a new way to apply mental power.
In this way, he can expand the scope of his mental scan dozens of times when scanning only one type of item. Although the sensing is not precise enough, he can at least determine whether these items exist within the sensing range.
This newly discovered technique was named "directional scanning" by Chen Yuan.
"Great! With directional scanning, I can now sense debris within a range of billions of kilometers, greatly increasing the efficiency of the search."
A hint of joy flashed across Chen Yuan's face: "Fragment aura has been detected 70 billion kilometers away. Although we can't yet confirm whether it's General Armor, it's better than running around like a headless fly."
After determining the approximate location of the next fragment, Chen Yuan immediately left the garbage mountain, called over two white-robed guides, and continued flying towards the next location.
