It took Ming ten whole minutes to come out of her daze of happiness before she carefully hid the Zhan Qingsi in her dimensional pocket. She had already made up her mind that after completing this mission, she would go to the Yuzhang City People's Bank and rent a safety deposit box with a monthly fee of 100,000 RMB, which came with a super triple compensation insurance, to securely store the Zhan Qingsi.
Don't feel bad about the 100,000 RMB monthly fee. If Ming announced that she had the Zhan Qingsi, those Sword Bearers of the Lingjian and Xianjian levels would kneel on the ground with billions of RMB in hand, begging Ming to sell it to them.
The value of this item was at least ten times more precious than what Ming originally intended to obtain. Ming even considered quitting the mission right now and going back to store the item...
"Are you awake? If you are, continue opening the boxes..." Gu Han, seeing that Ming was still dazed, didn't hesitate to tap her on the head. Gu Han had already waited for ten minutes and been jealous for ten minutes.
"Sure... sure..." Ming laughed awkwardly and lazily reached into the dimensional brocade box. After obtaining the Zhan Qingsi, nothing else could excite her anymore.
"Hmm, it's a Sword Mark Crystal... Wasting my time... Toad, this is for you..." Ming unhesitatingly gave the Sword Mark Crystal to the toad.
To be fair, the Sword Mark Crystal is also a very valuable item, an upgraded version of Sword Mark Dust. Selling it for tens of thousands of RMB in the auction house is no big deal... If it were in the past, Ming would have been delighted for a while, but not now, when she looked at it with disdain.
"Item Name: Sword Mark Crystal
Unbound, Tradable, Droppable
Effect: Sword Maidens can use it for deepening sword marks, with a base success rate of 80%
Usage Restriction: Sword Maidens of the 6th rank or higher can use it"
"This is the last item!" Ming felt through the entire space of the dimensional brocade box, confirming that this was the last reward, and the texture felt quite familiar!
It can't be that thing again! Ming guessed with displeasure, and when she took it out, it was indeed the "Secret Manual of the Yitian Sword" again.
"Take it... I must be having a stroke of luck, to get another one... What kind of person are you..." Ming grumbled unhappily. Since obtaining the Zhan Qingsi, she had become somewhat arrogant.
Gu Han smiled. Although the appearance of the Zhan Qingsi was unexpected, everything else was under his control.

"Lord Ganggang, I heard that this Zhenyuan Guard is actually a place to suppress Zhenyuan. Is that true?" On the way to the last ship girl, Zhenyuan, Song Hama asked casually.
"How did you know that?" Ganggang looked at Gu Han with confusion. She didn't know that the forum had already clearly written this secret, but the reason for suppressing Zhenyuan had no unified answer on the forum, mostly just player speculation.
"That's right, this place was built specifically to suppress Zhenyuan..." Ganggang nodded helplessly in response.
"Since it's to suppress Zhenyuan, then why is there not even a wall around here..." Song Hama looked around. This was a very wide platform on a cliff, with an excellent view of the sea, beach, forest, and sky, with no obstructions.
For appreciating the beauty of the sea, this was absolutely the best place. But for imprisoning someone, it was too easy to escape.
"Moreover, if the person sitting on the rock in front is Zhenyuan, why don't you even chain her up?" Gu Han continued to point out. At the front of the cliff, there was a huge rock, and on top of it, a woman in black sat quietly, with no handcuffs, chains, or talismans to bind her.
Ming and the others also expressed their curiosity and incomprehension, hoping to learn the truth from Ganggang.
"Fine, it's not a big deal to tell you..." Ganggang, unable to resist Song Hama's persistent questioning, said, "Actually, including the Sea Emperor, no one really wants to suppress Lady Zhenyuan. Lady Zhenyuan can leave here at any time, and no one will stop her. It's just that she doesn't want to leave."
"Why is that?" Song Hama couldn't understand. Who would willingly be suppressed? Unfortunately, no matter how much Song Hama pressed, Ganggang refused to answer this question.
"Ugh, there must be a deeply moving love story here?" Women are naturally gossipy, and Anning, who had been listening intently, had already imagined a million-word, touching love story from Ganggang's few words!
"Maybe..." Gu Han stopped and clapped his hands, "Let's think about how to defeat and capture this Zhenyuan first!"
"Jianggang, who are these people? I saw you fighting on the cliff, why are you causing trouble here..." It was a somewhat cold and gloomy voice, as if it belonged to a concubine who had been in the cold palace for over a decade.
As the voice faded, the ship girl Zhenyuan, dressed in a long black dress, appeared before everyone.
"In this world, there is such an extraordinary and beautiful person!!" Seeing Zhenyuan's face, Ming couldn't help but think this, and immediately felt a sense of inferiority for the first time in her life.
All along, whether in the game or in real life, Ming had left the deepest impression in her circle with her unparalleled beauty. This impression was so deep that whenever someone mentioned Ming, they would think of how beautiful she was, rather than how powerful she was.
Ming was even somewhat annoyed by her beauty, thinking that if she were uglier, others would recognize her abilities more, rather than her useless appearance...
Until now, seeing Zhenyuan's face, Ming suddenly felt very displeased and began to wish she were even more beautiful, and the idea of wanting others to recognize her strength was long forgotten.
To put it bluntly, a bitch is just being pretentious.
"I didn't want to disturb you, but both Xuefeng and I were defeated and captured, so I had to bring them here." Ganggang replied unhappily.
"Even Xuefeng was defeated?" Zhenyuan was surprised, but quickly resumed her cold, indifferent expression. "Never mind, if you lose, you lose. Everyone will eventually fail, just like me..."
"Hmph! The Sea Emperor has never failed!" Ganggang retorted indignantly at Zhenyuan's statement that everyone would fail.
"He? He's a joke?" Zhenyuan showed a hint of resentment, but quickly hid it. "Since they're here, they must be here to defeat me. Fine, I've been a bit bored lately, so I'll play along with you."
As Zhenyuan said this, a bright light flashed behind her, and a huge, magnificent ship girl, like a primordial beast, appeared floating behind her.
"My heavens! Is this really a ship girl's equipment?" Everyone except Gu Han was so terrified by the terrifying equipment that they almost fell to the ground.
Zhenyuan's equipment was at least thirty times larger than Ganggang's human-sized equipment. A rough estimate showed that there were over a hundred cannons of various sizes, all at least 300 millimeters in diameter, installed on the equipment. Even more terrifying was the central position of the equipment, where there was a super electromagnetic cannon over a thousand millimeters in diameter, constantly emitting blue electromagnetic sparks, facing everyone.
Ming believed that a single shot from this super electromagnetic cannon would turn the entire cliff into ruins.
"Heavenly Sword! The Zhenyuan in the guide only has four twin-barreled cannons..." Ming didn't know that the Zhenyuan in the guide was the original version from the Beiyang era. The Zhenyuan they faced now was a highly modified version by a certain unscrupulous Sea Emperor.
