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

Even eliminated!

...

...

Wherever Lu Yuan and Miss Conch went, the reputation of the Trading Market expanded.

After saying goodbye to the Great Rift Valley filled with poison and toxic creatures, the "Greedy Demon God" continued on to the next target.

A famous super-ancient ruin, the Patron Ruins!

This might be a relic of a second-level civilization. After centuries of development by surrounding races, its resources have been completely exhausted.

All that remains are fragments of walls standing in this world.

Furthermore, even the engravings on the walls were completely stripped by surrounding civilizations, reduced to mere material.

Lu Yuan touched these walls, with only a whisper of dust mixed with snowflakes falling to the ground.

He sighed softly: "I can't blame these civilizations for being too greedy, but the traces of ancient civilizations being completely destroyed always leave a sense of loss. It's as if these civilizations never existed."

"Oh, give it a rest. You got rich by grave robbing and now you criticize others for grave robbing."

"Hmph, I call what I do elegant scavenging." The two bantered out of habit.

In the vast ruins, only the two of them wandered aimlessly. Occasionally, wild animals appeared, staring at them with bright eyes before quickly turning away and fleeing.

The "Greedy Demon God" sprouted leaves of the Tree of Life on its surface, looking like a vibrant little hill.

Within just a few hours, a large group of creatures was attracted to build nests nearby.

Soon, Miss Conch tamed a small white mouse: "Look, I caught a new pet."

[Silver White Treasure Rat: A smart rat skilled in detecting supernatural minerals.]

[In prehistoric civilizations, it was cultivated to find treasures and also had pet value.]

[Shape: 3.3]

[Qi: 6.9]

[God: 2.9]

[Ability: Treasure hunting]

[Extraordinary Level: Level 1]

"This must be a Silver White Rat that has bred for several generations, right?"

Miss Conch liked it very much and named it "Bai Bai."

Old Wolf saw a new pet had appeared and looked constipated, howling "awoo awoo" while pacing back and forth.

But a God of 2.9 indeed indicates this is quite a smart little pet.

Lu Yuan didn't mind having another life in the spaceship, as it could be kept in a cage anyway.

The mouse squeaked a few times, scampered with its short legs, and brought out a small piece of "Mithril" from its burrow.

[Mithril, a Rare Level engraving material widely used because of its affinity with Extraordinary Elements.]

"Oh, this is an unexpected gain."

Lu Yuan gladly accepted this as a lodging fee.

Immediately after, he actually discovered the so-called "historical imprint" in this irregularly shaped Mithril fragment!

Since he created the Legendary Masterpiece "Snowflake Tree and Squirrel," he had enjoyed employing the forging method of "historical imprint."

This experience is like the "Historical Retrospection" ability, difficult for ordinary craftsmen to find, but not for Lu Yuan, because the Greedy Demon God had already touched "Luck"—the essence of "Luck" is a form of space-time copying energy.

If you observe carefully, you'll find that items with "historical imprints" are not uncommon.

But forging them into items is an art.

It requires certain materials; they must be Extraordinary Materials, as ordinary plants and minerals can't be forged.

On the other hand, it demands great inspiration and skill from the craftsman. Even Lu Yuan can't succeed every time.
