Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm

Antai Kingdom.

Above the capital of Guli Man.

A point of starlight appeared out of thin air, next to Yang Fan.

Wen Zehan’s voice, full of shock, rang out: "Mr. Ghost, congratulations on breaking the second barrier."

The satellite star formation has extremely strong insight, so the ascension to knight could not escape this senior researcher’s keen eyes.

Within Great Xia, it was predicted that Mr. Ghost and Mr. Spirit Crows would take at least five more years to ascend to knight.

According to the "Secret Scripture," "Condensing the Elemental Spirit" and "Gathering the Sea of the Soul" are two major obstacles, with many quasi-knights being stuck for as little as ten years, or as much as twenty.

Even a powerful civilization like the Mei Jia Civilization, which boasts as many as eight Venerables, only saw the birth of its first knight in the twenty-second year of its descent.

But the Canglan Civilization saw the emergence of a knight in the third year of its descent, an incredibly unbelievable speed.

Yang Fan smiled and said, "This time going to the Sea of Death Black Sand, I unexpectedly encountered a fortuitous event and luckily shattered the second barrier."

He indeed did not expect to acquire a second top-grade superpower, the All-Seeing Demon Eye, from a piece of loot.

Yang Fan casually advised, "Remember to keep the news of my ascension to knight confidential, to avoid attracting the attention of the Qing yang Demon Race."

Wen Zehan responded, "Understood!"

If the news of a new civilization world giving birth to a knight in just three years spreads, even the Demon Venerable might take notice.

Should that truly happen, a good thing could turn bad.

The senior researcher changed the topic: "Mr. Ghost, are you planning to take action against the Antai Royal Family? I notice there seem to be more and more insect monsters near the Antai Palace."

The changes in the Green Sea insect swarm in the city can’t be understood by others, but they certainly can’t escape the satellite star formation’s scan.

Yang Fan’s voice carried a hint of coldness: "Whether before the Age of Calamity or after, the Antai Kingdom has severely resisted Xia Descendants from entering the upper echelons.

"Canglan Star is accelerating its descent, and the second stage sliding period will arrive in a month. Great Xia should quickly integrate the East Continent."

"Therefore, the inertia of the Antai Kingdom must be broken. Since the conservative forces can’t recognize reality, let them step down."

Wen Zehan agreed, "Indeed, there’s a necessity for this!"

Great Xia.

Tianfu Province, Xiuzhu City.

In the study of a two-story villa, a point of starlight floated above the desk.

Wen Zehan gazed at the starlight, looking at the magnificent figure with flaming wings and couldn’t help but click his tongue, "The big boss really holds grudges."

This senior researcher clearly understood why the situation had evolved to the current state.

About two years ago, during the Poisonous Mosquito crisis, a Xia Descendant from the Antai Kingdom had a quite good relationship with Great Xia and was about to assume an important high-level position.

However, just three days before taking office, the Antai officials announced to the outside world that this person had unfortunately perished in an attack by a swarm of poisonous mosquitoes.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see the oddity. It’s not unusual for ordinary people to be bitten to death by poisonous mosquitoes, but how could an important official lack mosquito prevention measures?

This official’s family, afterward, collectively moved to Great Xia.

This was clearly not quite right.

However, at the time, Great Xia was busy dealing with calamities and had no spare capacity to address this issue, only choosing to accept it as it was.

The Antai people were accustomed to playing tricks in secret, outwardly obedient to Great Xia, yet highly wary of Great Xia behind the scenes.

This was why Mr. Ghost said the phrase "intensively resisting Xia Descendants from entering higher levels."

Wen Zehan truly did not expect that the big boss would still remember this matter.

"Click!"

With a soft sound.

The door opened.

A white robot came sliding in, holding a tray with both hands.

Its whole body was wrapped in a kind of white, soft material, making for a very cute design.

"Mr. Wen, please have some fruit."

The robot said in a cute and soft voice, holding the tray in one hand and setting down the fruit plate next to Wen Zehan’s hand with the other.

This whole set of actions was very precise, making very little sound when the fruit plate touched the desk surface.

This single small detail was enough to prove the robot’s precise control of force, and also the advanced mechanical quality and control program it had.

This was Great Xia’s latest development in domestic service robots, codenamed—Xue Wu.

Equipped with an intelligent AI program, Xue Wu can perform various household tasks like sweeping, washing clothes, folding clothes, washing vegetables, cutting vegetables, cooking, washing dishes, etc.

At present, the Xue Wu household robot is in small-scale production testing and has not been formally launched on the market.

Due to Wen Zehan’s special status, the higher-ups specially equipped his family with a robot.

A second later.

His wife walked in with a big smile and asked, "Isn’t it quite good?"

Wen Zehan glanced at the evenly sliced apple pieces and nodded: "Indeed, it’s quite good."

His wife pointed to the fruit in the plate, saying, "Xue Wu is amazing. I watched it peel an apple with a fruit knife, moving so fast you couldn’t even see it, taking only five seconds to peel and slice it."

She then mentioned a drawback: "Xue Wu still can’t handle some complex housework and requires a bit of guidance alongside or a demonstration. However, it learns very quickly.

"I’ve also heard that Xue Wu can help with taking care of babies, feeding, changing diapers, and soothing them. It’s very gentle in its movements, but since we don’t have children, we can’t verify this.

"With one Xue Wu at home, even with two or three children, the workload of a housewife can be greatly reduced."

Wen Zehan chuckled: "Looks like you can retire now."
