Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Exploring the technology of the ancient era seemed to be an interesting thing.

The Cloud Palace, if it was as the rumors said, would be like Noah’s Ark, an escape tool created by humans to escape from this world during the end of the dark fog era. Who knew what kind of mysterious technology it would have?

!!
The technology of the civilization in the present era was far inferior to that of the extinct ancient era. It sounded like they were going backward. However, now that they had entered the magnificent and fantastical era of the pet civilization, things were different.

Before the dark fog, where were there such pets? They were just illusions created by the entertainment novels of that era.

“Anyway, speaking up to this point is about as much as we know now,” Jiang He continued, “Due to the passage of time and the changes the dark fog has undergone, the Cloud Palace has been affected, resulting in special rules. Either we destroy it directly with great strength, or we accept the rules and send beastmasters who meet the requirements into it to explore, find resources, and excavate the site.”

“Moreover, if it’s really as many scholars have speculated, then in the Cloud Palace…” At this point, Jiang He paused.

“It’s possible that there will be countless ancient resources,” Wang Ye finished the sentence.

Jiang He nodded slightly and looked at Wang Ye with admiration. As expected of an investigator, his instincts were sharp.

If it really was a tool designed to escape from the world, then it must contain the richest resources of that era.

If one wanted to escape, one couldn’t possibly do it naked, right?

One would have to have sufficient resources in reserve before one could escape, right?

“The competition within…” Jiang He said in a low voice, “Based on our current situation, if we were to encounter beastmasters from other countries, it would be a life-and-death struggle. Apart from that, it would be best if we could find some information from the Cloud Palace about ancient civilizations related to Dongli. I won’t say much about the dangers since you’re an investigator. Therefore, I came here personally to see if you wanted to give up. After all, with your talent, you’ll definitely become a great person in the future. You don’t have to take such a risk…”

“Of course, I’m willing to go,” Wang Ye said with a serious face, “As an investigator, I’ve long put my life behind me.”

Jiang He was stunned when he heard that. He patted Wang Ye on the shoulder and said, “Tell me the truth. Do you really think so?”

“No, it’s mainly for the resources.”

“…” Jiang He was silent for a few seconds and nodded, “Very good. That’s more like it. You’re very practical. There’s still about half a month before the Cloud Palace opens. You should prepare yourself. I’ll pick you up at that time. If you need anything, just ask.”

Speaking of requests, Wang Ye was no longer sleepy.

“I’m short of money, give me ten billion,” Wang Ye said.

Jiang He stood up and muttered, “It’s still too dangerous for you to go to the Cloud Palace. With your talent, you don’t need to take the risk at all.” 1

“Wait!” Wang Ye hurriedly said, “I was joking.”

Jiang He stopped in his tracks.

“How about this…” Wang Ye thought for a few seconds, “Give me some mythical-grade resources. Of course, inheritance-grade resources are acceptable too. Or, give me dozens of emperor-grade resources.”

Jiang He paused for a moment before immediately heading out of the door. As he walked, he said, “Four spots are still too many for Xinghai Province. I think three is enough…”

“Hey… didn’t you say I could make requests?” Wang Ye coughed. “Forget it, I was just joking…”

Jiang He turned around and looked at Wang Ye, saying half-angrily, “Kid, you’re really daydreaming. I could apply for a few emperor-grade resources, yet the first thing you asked for was a bunch of mythical or inheritance-grade resources and dozens of emperor-grade resources. If our country was so rich, why would we waste our effort on the Cloud Palace? If every candidate made such requests as you did, the country might as well just give you genius beastmasters Emperor-class pets. What’s the need of having you nurture your pets yourselves?”

Wang Ye sighed inwardly. The current Dongli was probably in a state where they were lacking whatever they needed, huh?

At this moment, Jiang He patted Wang Ye on the shoulder and said, “To be honest, with your current progress in nurturing your pets, only that little rabbit hasn’t evolved yet. It shouldn’t have a high demand for materials, and the other two are still far from their second evolution. “Our country doesn’t have a lot of mature resources above the emperor grade, but you can tell me your request, and I’ll see if I can apply for a few. If it’s funding you want, the country can give you some money. As an investigator, I know it’s not easy for you.”

Wang Ye pondered for a moment and suddenly said, “Since you said there aren’t many mature resources, then there should be a lot of immature resources, right?”

Jiang He was startled. He nodded and said, “There are indeed a lot of immature resources… but the cultivation conditions for resources above the emperor grade are harsh. With the current level of our country’s three major material cultivation bases, successful cases are very few… The effects of immature resources are very poor. Hmm, why are you asking this? Don’t tell me you want to cultivate them yourself?”

Jiang He looked at Wang Ye with a strange expression.

Looking at the major cultivation bases in the country, it could be considered that they had expended a lot of manpower, resources, and financial resources. Yet, very few of them could effectively cultivate emperor-grade resources. Even if they could, it would usually be very expensive, and they would need to use high-level pets or master-rank beastmasters to assist them. However, with the combat strength of a high-level pet or master-rank beastmaster, did they have nothing better to do? Using them in farming was a waste of combat power. It would be better to just get the resources from secret realm explorations or import.
