Dark Moon Era - Chapter 340

Chapter 340: Godnium

The little seed?

Boss Huang’s hint was obvious as he pointed at Tang Ling’s chest, so Tang Ling understood it immediately. However, he did not know what the little seed had to do with the upcoming Hell Ledge Challenge.

Thankfully, Boss Huang was honest and straightforward. Before Tang Ling even asked, he said, “I suggest you give all the energy that you get from Hell Ledge to it. Don’t take any for yourself.”

“Huh?” Tang Ling did not expect the solemn request from Boss Huang to be about his little seed.

The request sounded ridiculous in his opinion.

Give all the energy to the little seed and not take any of it? Will the little seed become fat and explode?

Tang Ling’s thoughts about the little seed were rather narrow, but in the next moment, he was hit by a realization and was stunned! The energy would not run into a bottleneck and could be directly converted, so that meant…

“It seems like you aren’t all that stupid!” Boss Huang said flatly when he noticed the change of expression on Tang Ling’s face.

“But why? Why the little seed? Why this timing?” Tang Ling was puzzled by the request, but his mind was a little occupied and he did not know what he should ask first. He really had limited knowledge about war seeds.

“You call it ‘little seed’? Hohoho…You might not like it whenever Tang Feng is mentioned, but I have to say that this little seed is probably the most precious thing that he left for you! It’s not something that other war seeds can compare to!” Boss Huang pointed at Tang Ling and laughed strangely.

“As a matter of fact, there’s no need for me to keep it from you either. All the young geniuses that the many factions out there have raised also have their own precious treasure as their hidden trump cards. The war seeds can be considered as a piece of standard equipment for everyone. Some might not even use them as their trump card…If you don’t improve it, you won’t stand a chance to defeat Tang Long.”

“Is Tang Long that powerful?” Tang Ling’s eyes were glued to the live sword absorbing the superalloy liquid.

“You don’t have to put all your hopes on the Blood Bulrush Sword. Yes, after it’s remodeled into a weapon, it’s rightful name is the Blood Bulrush Sword! It’s just a plant sword that matches a superalloy sword. Do you really think all the young geniuses, especially Tang Long, don’t have one or two superalloy equipment on them?” Boss Huang looked at him in disdain.

“Are they that well-equipped?” Tang Ling felt a little sour. If not for Boss Huang, he would not have known that he was so outdated with trump cards when compared to the other geniuses.

“You don’t have to feel bad about yourself. Didn’t I just tell you? Your war seed isn’t a common one, but since you are so poor, it’s stuck in its first form. Aside from its second form, if you can get it halfway through its first form, at least, you’ll have a better chance at overcoming Tang Long. It’s real Godnium and might be even more precious,” said Boss Huang as he patted Tang Ling’s shoulders.

“What did you say?” Tang Ling was shocked to the core. He had always been curious about what exactly was Godnium and now there was one lying inside his heart!

“I’m saying that it’s real Godnium or is even more precious than one. You heard me right. I think I know a little more than you. Back then, Tang Feng made it to the third form with it, but it cannot be referenced since a war seed like this depends on the person to manifest its form.

“However, no matter how different it might be, the first form is always the same. If you can reach the perfect state of its first form, you should be able to increase your abilities and stats by five times.

“Its first form isn’t the strongest among all. Based on what I know, there are several young geniuses who have war seeds that share similar functions and might even be stronger than yours. The only difference is that this little seed is the only war seed that can enhance your Precise Instinct.

“I’ve told you everything I know. I suppose you should now understand whether or not you should let it absorb the energy instead of you. As for the strength of nine bulls and two tigers, I think even without the war seed, you should grind for it and accomplish the essence yourself.”

“I understand.” Tang Ling nodded vigorously. Like Boss Huang said, real power was a lot more reliable if he could understand it and grind for it compared to achieving it through absorption of energy.

“If you really do, great.” As he spoke, Boss Huang picked up the silver egg and inspected it repeatedly. He soon realized that even with his vast knowledge, he did not know what the silver egg was.

Without saying anything, he went to the storeroom, brought two mysterious-looking instruments out and placed them on the anvil.

He placed the egg on the first instrument. No matter how thoroughly he measured or checked it, the first instrument did not show any response.

Boss Huang looked slightly pathetic as he told Tang Ling, “This egg is no longer alive.”

“Mm-hmm.” Tang Ling was not surprised either. He had gotten the egg from that mysterious temple, and no one knew how long it had been in there, so it was only normal for it to be dead.

Then, Boss Huang placed the egg on the second instrument. The moment the egg touched it, the instrument’s display light kept blinking and the last one glowed blinding red.

After he saw the response, even Boss Huang looked a little excited as he told Tang Ling, “If you are okay with it, I’ll open my weapon storage and let you pick one equipment for this egg. Normal people might not have a use for the egg, but it’s greatly beneficial to Monty.”

“Monty? If it’s for Monty, I can just give it to him,” Tang Ling scratched his head and said.

He was not a stingy person. Since Monty was so attached to him after they became friends quickly, that point alone made him feel that giving an egg to it was no big deal. He had taken the egg from the strange Udy purple crow’s nest anyway, so he did not have to pay for anything.

“You are being ridiculously generous. You don’t even know what it is, yet you’re giving it to Monty?” Boss Huang suddenly felt Tang Ling was a pleasant person.

“What is it?”

“If I’m correct, this should be the egg of a very powerful vicious beast. Humans can absorb the energy within using a certain method, but compared to humans, other vicious beasts can utilize the energy better. I’ve tested that this egg might be dead, but the energy that it contains skyrockets. It might even provide talent.

“If a human absorbs the energy, the possibility of the talent will be wasted, but if another vicious beast absorbs it, it might very well acquire the talent.” Boss Huang believed it was necessary to give Tang Ling a detailed explanation.

“They just give it to Monty. I don’t need any weapons. The Blood Bulrush Sword is enough,” Tang Ling waved his hand and said frankly.

“Idiot! You’d better go pick defensive gear or you will die a horrible death!” Boss Huang looked askance at him.

“I…suppose that works too.” Tang Ling felt like he was being forced to make that decision.

Up until this point, Boss Huang had told him almost everything that he should know, except for one last thing, the one last thing that he really wanted to know: Tang Long.

Boss Huang had not gotten to the part about Tang Long. Just when Tang Ling wanted to remind him, Ding Ling ran into the smithing room nervously, appearing a little frightened.

“Boss, Boss…”

“What’s with the look?” Boss Huang noticed the strange look on Ding Ling’s face.

“There’s a strange person in Dvesha Moha. He said he’s here for you.” Ding Ling had always been a brave girl, but when she spoke of this visitor, she showed a rare tinge of fear.

“Who is this bastard that has frightened my little Ding Ling like this?” Boss Huang did not take it seriously. There were only less than three people in Darkness Port that the boss had to stay away from, so Ding Ling had no reason to be afraid.

“Kid, stay here. I’ll be back to finish your Blood Bulrush Sword,” said Boss Huang before he left the smithing room.

…

On the second floor of Dvesha Moha, there was a small parlor that was not often used, and today, it welcomed a visitor.

A person with a black mantle over his strange physique and a copper mask under the hood was standing in front of the window. It was the person who had appeared earlier in the streets. He really did go to Dvesha Moha.

Boss Huang ambled to the parlor while humming a melody. However, when he opened the door and saw the strange person, his body froze.

The strange person reeked of danger, but the danger was not targeted at Boss Huang.

Therefore, Boss Huang did not freeze because the strange person was unusually and terrifyingly powerful, but he recalled something, or more precisely, an unverified saying.

This strange person…Is that saying true? If it is…

“Who are you?” Boss Huang inhaled deeply to recover his mobility. He quickly stepped into the parlor and locked the door tightly on instinct.

“Who am I? Did you not expect my arrival? Aren’t you Huang Dao, the man with the best intelligence network?” said the visitor. His voice was horrible to the ears. It sounded like machines clunking together. It was obviously a mockery, but when it came out from the copper mask, it felt chilly.

“Stop playing tricks. I don’t know who you are and I expect no one! I’m a straightforward man,” Boss Huang responded with a serious look.

The person under the hood sighed. He then lifted his food and revealed his head. There was no hair on his head. Instead, it had a metallic luster over its surface. If it was not for the mask, he might not look like a living being at all.

However, since Boss Huang requested to be straightforward, the visitor did not want to drag this out either. He removed the copper mask in front.

“Now, does my face ring a bell?” he said after he removed the mask.

Boss Huang’s expression drastically changed.
