Chapter 2392 Wang Teng's Choice, Three Treasures! (1)
The members of the five major families were deeply curious. The treasure trove held an abundance of treasures, many of which were hidden in the deepest recesses or the most inconspicuous corners. Without keen discernment, it was nearly impossible to unearth the most valuable treasures.
This was precisely why several elders felt confident in allowing Wang Teng to make his selections freely!
Finding the most valuable treasures within this vault was an arduous task.
"I heard that Councilor Wang Teng is also a skilled mining engineer, adept at mining, and as a universe explorer, his insights are quite remarkable. His eyesight must be keen," Hengzang Bo chuckled.
"He casually said he was a universe explorer when he pretended to be Han Zhu. I don't know if it's true," Hengzang Chuan said.
"True or not, his eyesight and insights are undoubtedly real. Otherwise, how could he have discovered those valuable ores?" Yizang Bai added.
"That's true." Hengzang Chuan nodded.
"So, it's intriguing to wonder what kind of treasures he will find," Guizang Ling mused as he gazed toward the depths of the vault.
"Let's wait and see," Yizang Zhao said with a smile.
With a sweeping gesture, Hengzang Bo conjured a projection, revealing the figure of Wang Teng within.
As the elders of the five major families discussed, Hengzang Mo, Guizang Yan, and others couldn't help but engage in conversation.
Wang Teng was too dazzling. Every action of his drew the attention of these young prodigies, sparking discussions.
Even among the women, including Yizang Xinnuo, Shouzang Caiyun, and Guizang Zhu, there was a silent rivalry, with smiles on the surface masking vigilance underneath.
…
Deep within the vault, Wang Teng activated his Real Eye. As he scanned his surroundings and strolled deeper into the vault, murmurs escaped his lips.
"This one's good, that one's not bad either, and this… Damn, the five families are truly wealthy. Everything here is top-notch. I wish I could take it all."
Wang Teng was genuinely overwhelmed. A glint of eagerness shimmered in his eyes. His fingers moved slightly but he exerted his formidable willpower and finally restrained his greed.
Entering the treasure vault and being limited to only three items was truly a test of his character.
"Wang Teng, there are so many good things here," Round Ball exclaimed. Its scanning abilities weren't much inferior to Wang Teng's. Coupled with its vast knowledge storage, it could almost instantly discern the value of these treasures.
If circumstances allowed, it would be just like Wang Teng, eager to haul away every treasure from this place.
The two of them were like two big mice in a granary right after a bountiful harvest. How could they resist?
However, Wang Teng ultimately refrained from taking action. His relationship with the five major families had stepped onto the right track, entering a honeymoon phase. How could he possibly engage in the act of plundering others' treasure vaults?
Wang Teng cleared his throat, his expression turning serious as he surveyed his surroundings.
The treasures here included various precious ores, cores of different attribute star beasts, star bones, as well as various rare spiritual objects, and a variety of diverse weapons.
They were all above the heaven stage, with no single item below the cosmos stage.
Cosmos-stage treasures were items that were useful to cosmos-stage warriors, a general term.
For a martial warrior, these treasures were invaluable. Even universe-stage martial warriors would find it challenging to make selections if they entered.
But for Wang Teng, it wasn't too difficult.
Skipping over the dazzling array of treasures, he caught sight of a particularly bright glow emanating from a certain location within the vault.
Within that radiance, intricate and mysterious runes danced, their complexity astonishing even to Wang Teng.
And these glows were not just one or two. There were at least seven or eight of them scattered throughout, deeply hidden.
With a slight flicker in his gaze, Wang Teng moved towards the closest glow, soon arriving in front of a small mountain made of various ores.
This ore mountain was at least ten meters high, yet it didn't amount to much within the entire vault, not even as tall as some of the shelves nearby.
However, as Wang Teng stood before this ore mountain, his expression was tinged with surprise.
"Huh?" Hengzang Bo and the others were slightly surprised when they saw Wang Teng standing there. They let out a soft exclamation.
"What's wrong?" Hengzang Chuan and the others were puzzled. The elders' expressions seemed off.
"Is that… Crimson Gold? It's quite a valuable metal ore," Yizang Bai remarked, casting a cautious glance at Hengzang Bo.
"But Crimson Gold shouldn't be considered the best among the many treasures. Why would he choose Crimson Gold?" Guizang Feng pondered, stroking his chin.
"Could it be that he's discovered something?" Hengzang Bo's gaze flickered slightly as he muttered to himself.
Expressions of astonishment appeared on the faces of several elders as they gazed at Wang Teng through the projection.
Seeing the elders' surprised expressions, Hengzang Chuan and the other five family heads became suspicious and fell silent, directing their attention to the projection.
"Crimson Gold!" Round Ball spoke in Wang Teng's mind. "The value of this stuff isn't the highest in the treasure vault."
A faint smile played at the corners of Wang Teng's mouth.
Crimson Gold was a rare fire attribute ore capable of forging weapons of fire attribute at the universe level. It was indeed a decent ore.
However, what Wang Teng had his eye on wasn't the Crimson Gold.
At that moment, a surge of Force erupted from within Wang Teng's body, though he made no visible movement. The pile of Crimson Gold before him suddenly flew up, revealing a not-too-big, not-too-small ore beneath it.
