CHAPTER 337: CHAPTER 300 FAIR TRADE

The security measures of the Qiqu Pavilion Treasure Vault are extremely strict. The vault doors are specially made, and the entire structure is deeply buried underground, completely sealed.

Even if you want to forcefully break in, it would take at least a day or two.

But under the Hongyi Sword, all defenses were rendered useless. Gao Xuan slashed his way through and reached the deepest part of the vault.

Various precious gems, source diamonds, and marvels were arranged neatly on different levels.

On the Planet of Death, there is only one Qiqu Pavilion where all important items are stored in the underground vault. There are indeed many good things here.

Gao Xuan even found two Golden Level marvels: trendy sunglasses and a mysterious windbreaker.

Trendy Sunglasses: Increases spiritual power and enhances attractiveness to the opposite sex. Completely shields the eyes, protecting them from external harm.

Side effects: The wearer can only see a black and white world. Causes permanent damage to the eyes. There’s a high chance of provoking jealousy and hatred from the same sex...

Mysterious Windbreaker: Wearing the windbreaker enhances mystery. (Note: cannot be precisely observed or perceived.)

Special effect: Passerby A. No one will pay attention to you; in the eyes of all, you are just a passerby. Your presence is reduced to the minimum.

Negative effect: Sustains consumption of spiritual power. Every wear absorbs emotional power. Prolonged wearing will result in the loss of all emotions and be forgotten by everyone...

Both golden marvels have been appraised, with detailed records on all aspects.

Gao Xuan glanced at them—the price for both marvels was marked as five billion each.

For golden marvels, this price isn’t expensive. However, these two marvels are indeed peculiar, with very frightening side effects.

The sunglasses could be overlooked; the blind could still wear them. They might add some charm.

However, in this advanced world of medicine, there are basically no blind people. Even if there were, why would they need these glasses?

While they can enhance attraction to the opposite sex, they can also attract hatred from the same sex. That’s a significant problem.

The windbreaker’s effect, on the other hand, is quite good, very suitable for thieves. But the permanent loss of emotions is truly terrifying.

Humans can harness Source Power, not through rational logic, but through emotional power. Losing emotional capacity means losing control over Source Power.

Without Source Power, one becomes utterly useless.

Gao Xuan found these two marvels interesting. The mysterious windbreaker’s side effects are too strong, but occasional use should be fine.

The sunglasses suit him well, as if tailor-made. Just one problem—if recognized, it could spell trouble for him.

Qiqu Pavilion is a massive company, backed by Golden Powerhouses.

Doing business in the Black Banner Alliance shows Qiqu Pavilion’s capabilities. Of course, it’s illegal under Alliance law.

Publicly, Qiqu Pavilion won’t admit to a Black Banner Alliance branch, only claiming impostors. But everyone knows they are in cahoots.

Still, it doesn’t matter.

Qiqu Pavilion is full of shady dealings. They are true merchants, daring to sell anything for profit.

Gao Xuan always looked down on these interstellar mega-companies. They lack responsibility and have no humanistic realization.

In a past life, major companies surrendered one after the other. Tragically, the surrendering parties didn’t meet good ends.

With past experiences, Gao Xuan had no qualms about robbing Qiqu Pavilion.

Of course, the manager’s detestability was also a factor.

If they do as they please, he does the same on a larger scale, without guilt, even a bit of pleasure.

Gao Xuan called Bai Yutang out to conduct a thorough raid of the Qiqu Pavilion Treasure Vault.

The space within the Guardian Ring is vast, comparable to a large warehouse. With not much in the Qiqu Pavilion vault, it was effortlessly packed away.

When Gao Xuan left, he intentionally donned the mysterious windbreaker and sunglasses.

In terms of effects, the passerby effect of the windbreaker and the sunglasses clash. He wanted to see the specific results.

In a stronghold break-in, Gao Xuan emptied the vault in under two minutes.

When he emerged, San Baihe was still sitting dumbfounded on the ground.

The battle just now was too shocking. San Baihe was dazed by Gao Xuan’s sword intent and hadn’t yet recovered.

In fact, due to Gao Xuan’s sword intent, San Baihe completely forgot the fight sequence.

As Gao Xuan passed by San Baihe, she looked up at him curiously but didn’t give him another glance.

Gao Xuan removed the sunglasses and walked past San Baihe again. This time, she showed no reaction.

Indeed, the sunglasses and windbreaker conflict. The ’passerby A’ effect couldn’t fully mask the sunglasses’ allure.

Gao Xuan removed the sunglasses, wearing the black windbreaker, and exited through the side door of Treasure Pavilion.

By the time he left, many guards were already stationed at the side door. Guests from the auction were anxiously departing through it. As they exited, guards were simply verifying identities.

When it was Gao Xuan’s turn, the guard didn’t even look up, letting him pass.

Shortly after Gao Xuan left, a large group of fully armed fighters rushed into Qiqu Pavilion.

Several flying ships hovered over Qiqu Pavilion, and from them, a large group of experts clad in exoskeleton armor jumped down, among them a dozen Silver Sword Heroes.

Gao Xuan casually glanced from afar. Such power couldn’t threaten him, so he didn’t mind.

He calmly returned to Purple Lily Hotel, where no one noticed him.

Back at his suite, Gao Xuan packed up his belongings and opened the opposite room’s door.

In a large hotel like Purple Lily, about 40% of the rooms are vacant. He could easily stay here indefinitely.

In any case, he doesn’t need food in the short term and incurs no additional consumption. Quietly staying in a room, no one could find him.

As for how to leave, Gao Xuan found it not difficult. Even without the mysterious windbreaker, he could easily blend into any flying ship.

In the short term, the Planet of Death would surely implement strict checks on all incoming and outgoing ships.

But in a chaotic place like the Planet of Death, orders would be poorly executed. This is the issue with the Black Banner Alliance itself.

In a few days, all checks would become mere procedural formality.

The Planet of Death lacks both Celestial Net and Light Computer, relying entirely on manpower. Loopholes are everywhere.

Even on Pegasus Star, under Light Computer’s strict and orderly control, he could still come and go as Blood Shadow.

Before acting, Gao Xuan had already planned his escape. It only meant spending a bit more time.

The mysterious windbreaker could probably save him some time.

Sitting on a chair in the corner, Gao Xuan took out the Book of All-Knowing, affixing the cover page to it.

The two items must be combined to be effective. The cover page is used to write questions, and the Book of All-Knowing will show the most correct answers. This is the optimal use of the Book of All-Knowing.

The cover page and the Book of All-Knowing naturally merged, forming a complete whole.

Gao Xuan took out a pen and wrote his question on the cover page: What is my path to Perfect Gold advancement?

After writing the question, Gao Xuan flipped the page, revealing a line: Sacrifice a Golden Life to obtain the answer.
