I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

The old scholar mouse man suddenly thought of something, "The Rize Civilization, why would they have this thing?"

Lu Yuan smiled and responded, "They might be a Second Generation Civilization..."

"You know, some civilizations' ancestors might have escaped from the Ancient Era, leaving behind some inheritance. Of course, what the specific circumstances are, I'm not too sure."

Lu Yuan did not reveal his "Spatial Teleportation" ability, which could be considered part of civilization's heritage.

As for how to get "Sealing Resin" out of the Safe Zone?

Hey, there are plenty of Divine Skills in the world, you all can guess on your own.

"So, it's like that… This kind of Second Generation Civilization, I've seen it before, but who knows how much wealth they still have left."

The old scholar mouse man scratched his whiskers and widened his eyes, "However, civilizations that escape to the stars hardly leave much behind. They have to abandon their inheritance to escape the pursuit, just like us. I don't know how much they've left behind."

Lu Yuan replied, "Do you know about the Great Lai Empire? They are descendants of the Great Lai Empire."

"This... um... I seem to have heard of it. Ah, I can't remember."

The old scholar mouse man suddenly slapped his thigh, an enlightened look on his face, "Could it be, the Safe Zone of the Rize Civilization has a [Ghost]? Otherwise, how could they have this thing!"

"Your Majesty, we better run now! There's still time!"

"Those foolish civilizations really don't know the extent of heaven and earth! Let's run!"

He violently activated his ability and burrowed into the ground.

All the Ratmen were startled.

Shu Huangfeng felt a bit awkward, "Hey, Commander Lu, forgive him, this guy has been through a lot and is a bit mentally unstable. But seriously, is there a [Ghost]? We need to evacuate quickly."

Lu Yuan secretly thought, these old guys really aren't just twiddling their thumbs, they've deduced so much from just a piece of resin.

He cleared his throat, "They have a deity they believe in called the Earth Mother Goddess, which should be the so-called [Ghost]."

"Don't worry, the Rize Civilization naturally has some ancestral heritage to seal the [Ghost]. Otherwise, they would have perished long ago."

"They and I share the camaraderie of fighting [Monsters] together, they've entrusted me with trade. How much are you offering? Even if there are some side effects, it won't hinder the trade, right?"

A few Ratmen eyed him up and down, discussing among themselves.

Although the item was good, it was also dangerous, but as long as the profits were significant, who would care about the risks?

Shu Huangfeng murmured through telepathy, "Is it true that possessing this item will lead to attacks by the [Ghost]?"

"Of course it's true."

"What's the use then? Isn't it just like bringing a bomb into our home?"

The old scholar mouse man snorted coldly, "What do you know, just don't blatantly use it, who would know? [Ghost]'s sensory abilities are not limitless, if you keep it in a Space Item, [Ghost] can't detect it!"

"Moreover... "

His voice lowered, his eyes crafty, "If you want to seal a [Ghost], this thing is a big shortcut. Otherwise, you have to continuously forge Legendary-level Sealing Tools, spending Spirit Essence, just to contend with a [Ghost], which is like an eternal engine!"

"How many civilizations can afford such losses?"

"[Steel] ability users, nowadays could be extinct... even if there are any, it's just a few in an Epoch."

"The stronger the civilizations, the more they need this Sealing Resin. If we snag a powerful civilization and sell it to them, isn't that enough to live until the End of the Era?"

"One big deal is better than ten thousand small ones."

The old scholar mouse man, although timid as a mouse, was possessed by the Greedy Demon God at this moment.

And many other Ratmen were encouraged.

The most profitable things these days really do come with the risk of losing one's head!

But... so what about losing a head?

As long as the profit is high, I'll cut my own head off!

The Shu Mi Dam Civilization had ways to save their lives, their Stone-carrying turtle could burrow into the ground to escape.

Their souls could fuse into Anomalies.

Even if they encountered a [Ghost], so what? What could they do to me?

Thinking this way, the courage of the Ratmen also grew.

"We'll buy! But how should we price it?"

"One level higher than Legendary, Epic-level I suppose, though it'd be too expensive for us to afford."

"Agreed!"

…

On the other hand, Lu Yuan also had complex thoughts.

He held a [Steel] ability in his hand.

Killing a [Demon] Milestone Reward was indeed impressive.

Luckily, it hadn't fused into his soul...

Otherwise...

As far as Humans are concerned, once attacked by a [Ghost], losing half of them was easy.

Even more tempting and terrifying was that the [Steel] ability had an Upper Ability, the completely disappearing [Powerful Wind]...

Lu Yuan had enough reasons to suspect that one of the Milestone Reward abilities was part of [Powerful Wind]...

If viewed from a functional perspective, "Complete Spiritification," this bizarre ability, had a pretty high probability.

It's just that he didn't know how to fuse it.

"So many secrets hidden in this world... should I ask the Ratman about [Powerful Wind]?"

Lu Yuan pondered for a long while but decided against it, as the higher the level of information, the greater the danger.

"He who has capability should undertake tasks... alas"

Also, the matter of "inviting a ghost onto oneself" needed to be communicated to the Rize Civilization.

They must hide the Sealing Resin well, otherwise it might bring disastrous consequences.

Thinking this way, the Ratmen also finished their discussion and came over, smiling broadly.

"Mr. Lu, we'll take the risk... and pick up some! But we can't take too much, how much do you actually have here?"
