First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!

In just an instant.

The Dinghai Pearls plummeted down with a thunderous crash.

Zhan Tingzhou couldn’t even catch them: ”Holy shit!!!”

He hurriedly withdrew his hands.

He watched as the Dinghai Pearls smashed directly into the ground, rapidly burrowing downwards.

It gave the distinct feeling they were about to smash right through the entire secret realm.

Fortunately, Lu Ding controlled them in time, and they flew back to circle around him.

Lu Ding laughed heartily: ”Hahahahaha........”

Zhan Tingzhou shook out his hands.

He used his own Five-Colored Divine Light to heal his injuries.Just from that momentary contact, the bones in his hands were almost completely shattered. If he hadn’t withdrawn them in time,

they probably would have been smashed clean off.

Of course, with his Five-Colored Divine Light, such physical injuries meant nothing to him; they could be healed in an instant.

But if he had used Spiritual Energy,

that would have been a different story.

In that instant, Zhan Tingzhou thought of a possibility.

In his past life, these things never appeared. Could it be because no one could lift them, leading to them being unattainable, and ultimately lost when the secret realm collapsed?

If that’s the case...

Zhan Tingzhou walked directly into the ear chamber.

He examined the box that had contained the Dinghai Pearls.

He reached out and touched it; the surface felt warm.

Compared to the immense weight of the Dinghai Pearls, this exquisite box, while having some heft, wasn’t nearly as exaggerated.

Perhaps Zhan Tingzhou’s touch inadvertently triggered some mechanism.

A series of *click-clack* sounds rang out.

The box began to fold, transform, and finally morphed into a beast-headed great shield as tall as a person. Its base was sharp, and the center had a place to slip a hand in and grip it.

Offense and defense combined, undoubtedly a treasure.

Lu Ding watched, then stepped forward and rapped on it with some force.

*Thump thump.*

”Very hard. And not just ordinary hardness; it seems to absorb attacks. You’ve really stumbled upon a treasure. From now on, you’re the Great Han’s Captain America.”

Although it was a good item, its effect overlapped with both the 【Golden Ao Island】 and the Stone Dang.

Although Zhan Tingzhou didn’t get the reference,

the face beneath his mask was grinning crookedly, eyes squinted with joy.

Lu Ding examined the shield and asked curiously, ”What would happen if we used these pearls to attack this shield?”

Zhan Tingzhou immediately raised the shield into a defensive stance.

He patted it twice with a *thump thump*.

”Come on, let’s try.”

Lu Ding shook his head. ”Forget it, forget it. Not worth it if we break it.”

”Just for fun, come on.”

”Knock it off, let’s go, let’s go. There’s still the other ear chamber.”

Zhan Tingzhou might be reckless, but Lu Ding couldn’t just go along with him.

He had already tested it with those two taps.

This thing was undoubtedly strong.

But pitting it against the Dinghai Pearls? It would probably come up short.

Lu Ding collected the remaining ores.

He led Zhan Tingzhou to the entrance of the second ear chamber.

This time, he didn’t use his foot.

The Dinghai Pearls circling around him directly smashed forward with immense force. The door, like paper, shattered into pieces instantly.

With a breach in the sealed ear chamber,

an intensely dizzying medicinal fragrance instantly rushed out.

Damn, the whole room was packed with solid goods!!!

All sorts of medicinal herbs and pills.

These were countless times better than what they had just collected.

Among them were various graded Earth Treasures.

There just weren’t any heavenly materials.

But it was more than enough.

Lu Ding stared at this astonishing sight.

”That side had ores, this side has medicinal herbs, and inside is buried a controllable Dharma Protector.”

”So the Yellow Heaven Sect was using this place as a backup base.”

”A place to stage a comeback at any time.”

”If anything went wrong, they’d awaken the Dharma Protector, use the herbs to refine pills, the ores to forge artifacts, and rise again?”

Zhan Tingzhou chimed in, ”But in the end, they’ve just made it convenient for us, done the hard work for us.”

Immediately, the two exchanged a glance.

They let out a laugh that sounded nothing like good guys: ”Hehehehehe..........”

It was truly like mice entering a granary—time for a feast!

Although these rare natural treasures couldn’t compare to the grade of dragon essence and phoenix blood, there were so many of them! Even the side dishes could fill you up.

Lu Ding could make do with them.

Not to mention, they could be listed at a low price within the Bureau and sold off.

Using his own stuff to get public funds, then using public funds to buy even better public resources.

This wave,

was pure profit!!!

All he had to do was deal with the Mad God, and Lu Ding could retreat, fat and happy.

No need to talk about the little stuff, no need to boast about the big.

Let’s just name a figure: directly rushing to God Ascension, Ninth Restriction, leaping across four consecutive realms!!!

Then, after selling most of the stuff, getting the contribution points, buying the heavenly materials and earthly treasures,

and charging straight into Spirit Refinement.

This is what you call an opportunity.

This is what an opportunity looks like.

The Yellow Heaven Sect’s hidden reserves were just too delicious.

Lu Ding’s voice still carried lingering laughter: ”That fool Shi Yuanshan. Knowing there were so many good things here, all he wanted was to get revenge on me, talk about blood debts and blood repayment, a fight to the death? He’s out of his mind.”

Zhan Tingzhou quickly nodded in agreement. ”Exactly, exactly.”

Lu Ding rolled up his sleeves. ”Collect, collect, pack it all up. Take whatever, pick up whatever.”

Both of them trusted the other wouldn’t play any underhanded tricks.

Where there’s one, there’s two.

And this was just the beginning.

The excited Zhan Tingzhou was already itching to take Lu Ding treasure hunting everywhere.

He had the intel, Lu Ding had the means.

The Sleeping Dragon and the Young Phoenix, twin swords united, great things could be accomplished. Where in the world couldn’t they go?

Just by digging around everywhere, the two of them could treat rare natural treasures as daily meals, piling them up to raise their realms.

Although it sounded great, it required constant travel, and the income wasn’t particularly stable.

If there was no other path, they could do that.

But now they had the 749 path. Relying on intel to complete missions, they could still make a killing, and treat those fortuitous encounters as a side hustle.

Thinking about it,

Zhan Tingzhou felt pretty pleased inside.

He could already see the broad, smooth road stretching across his boundless future.

Once everything was collected,

Zhan Tingzhou didn’t take much.

Enough was enough; he knew his limits. Although Lu Ding kept urging him to take more,

he always restrained himself.

For him, Lu Ding helping him save his sister was the greatest opportunity of his life.

Taking even one bit more would be taking advantage of Lu Ding.

Only someone like him, who had spent hundreds, thousands of years in his past life searching fruitlessly, could understand the despair and pain of finally grasping a sliver of hope, only to have disappointment follow.

Finally, their back-and-forth pushing ended with Lu Ding stuffing a large handful of Earth Treasures into his arms.

”If you don’t take more, how will you break through quickly and adventure with me later? If your strength can’t keep up, I won’t be able to take you along.”

If the rank gap is too big, you can’t even queue together, let alone talk about rewards.

Fighting, killing, seizing treasures, all while having to protect him? That’s too distracting.

Zhan Tingzhou finally didn’t refuse, moved in his heart. ”I’ll work hard.”

If his goal in his past life was to find his sister,

then his goal in this life was to forever be on the path of pursuit, to see Lu Ding’s back.

The Red Coffin closed.

Lu Ding, using the secret technique he had openly observed, once again lit up the gem on the crown and said, ”The appetizers are finished. Time for the main course.”

”Let’s go, this way!!!”
