Zhou Huai thought to himself.

He didn’t hold out too much hope.

After all, even Great Masters of the Holy Light system were helpless before.

These few bottles of sacred light spiritual water probably wouldn't play a decisive role.

But it was always good to keep it in mind.

If there was nothing else he wanted more in the S-Class Treasure Vault, it wouldn't be too late to come back for it.

The two got back into the car.

The vehicle continued downwards along another ramp.

The security on this level was significantly tighter than above.

They passed through three heavy alloy gates, each guarded by two teams of fully armed soldiers.

Their eyes were sharp, their aura steady, clearly indicating they were elite military personnel.

The vehicle finally stopped in a more open area.

Assistant Xiao Liu got out of the car, his expression becoming serious.

“Mr. Gandalf, this is the S-Class Treasure Vault area.”

Zhou Huai, controlling Gandalf, stepped out of the car.

The space before him was not large, even somewhat empty.

There were no dazzling display cases, only a dozen independent circular display stands, sparsely distributed throughout.

Each display stand was enveloped by a visible energy shield, emitting a heart-palpitating fluctuation.

Zhou Huai's gaze fell on the nearest display stand.

Inside the shield, a cluster of eerie blue flames burned quietly, emitting a strange light.

The core of the flame was a deep purple, as if it could devour one’s mind.

Even through the energy shield, Zhou Huai could feel a scorching heat wave washing over him.

“As expected of an S-Class Treasure Vault.”

Zhou Huai thought to himself.

“Right off the bat, a unique flame.”

Assistant Xiao Liu stepped forward, a hint of pride in his voice.

“This is the 【Winter's Flame】, a C-grade unique flame.”

“It was discovered by our military region in an ancient Secret Realm in the northern territory.”

“It not only possesses extremely high temperatures but also comes with a freezing effect, making it a very rare dual-attribute unique flame.”

A C-grade unique flame.

The effect was indeed good.

Unfortunately, Gandalf already had the Soul-Devouring Underworld Flame within him.

If he were to forcefully absorb this unique flame again, the two powers would clash, and he would very likely explode and die on the spot.

As for his other Clones, they didn't have any fire-related abilities and couldn't bear it at all.

Zhou Huai shook his head.

“I can’t use this.”

Xiao Liu nodded, showing no surprise, and led him to the next display stand.

“Then take a look over {N•o•v•e•l•i•g•h•t} here.”

Zhou Huai’s gaze swept across.

Inside the glass display stand, several oddly shaped fruits lay quietly, their surfaces enveloped in a faint white mist.

One looked like a grenade.

One resembled a flip-flop.

And another, wrinkled and shriveled, looked exactly like a pair of un-dried briefs.

Zhou Huai’s eye twitched.

This thing...

Could it be like the Devil Fruits in One Piece?

Eat it and awaken new abilities?

Xiao Liu noticed his confusion and explained with a smile.

“These are attribute fruits.”

“Different fruits can increase different attribute points.”

He pointed to the grenade.

“This is a Strength Fruit.”

He then pointed to the slipper.

“This is an Agility Fruit.”

Finally, he looked at the briefs, his expression also a bit subtle.

“This...is a Spirit Fruit.”

“Consuming one can permanently increase the corresponding attribute by an average of 20 to 50 points.”

Zhou Huai suddenly understood.

So these were attribute fruits.

This was the most direct and effective way to improve attributes in this world, aside from leveling up.

Their origin was also in those Secret Realms that appeared and disappeared quickly.

They were rare, and each one was priceless.

On the black market, even a low-grade one that could only increase twenty attribute points could fetch a sky-high price of over a million.

Xiao Liu, seeing that Gandalf seemed interested, added.

“Mr. Gandalf, if you wish to exchange for attribute fruits, the Governor has specially approved that three fruits can be counted as one exchange opportunity for you.”

After hearing this, Zhou Huai decisively shook his head.

“Let’s keep looking.”

One opportunity for a few dozen attribute points.

Too much of a loss.

He continued to browse the S-Class Treasure Vault area.

Every item here was a rare treasure.

Legendary equipment blueprints that could drive even S-Class Professionals mad.

There was even an eyeball, rumored to be peeled from the skull of a powerful exotic beast.

Although these items were precious, Zhou Huai mostly had no use for them.

He casually looked around until he stopped in front of a display stand.

His gaze was firmly attracted by the item on the stand.

It was a gigantic egg.

It was as big as two footballs.

The eggshell was entirely black, smooth like obsidian, with countless intricate golden patterns engraved on its surface.

Those patterns seemed to possess life, slowly flowing on the eggshell, exuding an ancient and wild aura.

“What kind of egg is this?”

Xiao Liu glanced at it, a wry smile appearing on his face.

“Mr. Gandalf, this is a Dragon Egg.”

“A Dragon Egg?”

Zhou Huai’s breathing paused for a moment.

Xiao Liu sighed and continued.

“It is said that it has been in this vault for at least fifty years.”

“During this period, many generals and strong individuals who had rendered great service had exchanged for it.”

“They tried every possible method: burning it with fire, striking it with lightning, dripping blood to recognize it as a master...”

“But this egg never showed any signs of hatching.”

“Finally, they could only reluctantly return it.”

He paused, then added with certainty.

“The only thing we can confirm is that the life signs inside are very strong; it is still alive.”

“However, we still haven’t found the correct method to hatch it.” 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Xiao Liu looked at Gandalf, seemingly seeing through his thoughts.

“Mr. Gandalf, you can also exchange for it and give it a try.”

“The Governor has instructed that if you also cannot hatch it, you can return it at any time and exchange it for other treasures.”

Zhou Huai’s heart pounded.

Such a good thing?

Isn't that a free trial and error opportunity?

Riding a Dragon.

Which man doesn't dream of it?

When Li Qiu of the Tianyu Guild appeared riding a Silver Dragon, his dashing appearance made him envious for a long time.

Now, the opportunity was right before his eyes.

“This is it.”

Zhou Huai extended his finger, pointing at the black Dragon Egg.

“This is the first item.”

Xiao Liu immediately nodded, recording it on his handheld terminal.

Zhou Huai continued to walk forward.

Soon, he stopped in front of another display stand.

This time, displayed in the stand was a lady’s long dress.

The style of the dress was not complex, even a bit vintage.

But it was entirely woven from an unknown silver thread, flowing with a moonlight-like radiance under the lights.

The skirt was adorned with countless tiny, diamond-like crystals, as if the entire starry sky was worn on the body.

Sacred, noble, breathtakingly beautiful.

Xiao Liu immediately stepped forward to introduce it.

“Mr. Gandalf, you have excellent taste.”

“This long dress is named 【Embrace of the Stars】.”

“Thirty years ago, Governor Hou personally led a team and obtained it from the final BOSS of a Hell-grade Secret Realm.”

He paused, his tone a bit regretful.

“Although it is of legendary quality, its attributes and affixes are very ordinary, even inferior to some top-tier epic equipment.”

“The only advantages are that it comes with two special properties: 【Divine Radiance】 and 【Spotless】.”

“The former allows the wearer to have a Holy Light effect, and the latter ensures that this long dress will never be stained with any dirt.”

Xiao Liu smiled.

“So, although its practical combat value is not high, its beauty is its strength.”

“If given to a female companion, she would definitely love it.”

In Zhou Huai’s mind, Ye Xi’s beautiful and refined face instantly appeared.

Ye Xi’s birthday seemed to be approaching soon.

“I’ll take this one.”

Zhou Huai did not hesitate at all.

Ordinary attributes? Trash affixes?

Those were not problems.

As long as it was handed to Ouyezi, a few refinements would transform it completely.

By then, this 【Embrace of the Stars】 would definitely become a truly legendary piece of equipment.

Xiao Liu nodded again, quickly recording it.

Only one item left.

Zhou Huai walked around the S-Class Treasure Vault area once more.

Although the remaining items were also very precious, to him, their appeal was not as strong as the previous two.

Zhou Huai weighed his options for a moment and made a decision.

He turned around and walked back to the second basement level.

Xiao Liu was slightly stunned when he saw this and quickly followed him.

Zhou Huai walked directly to the corner display cabinet where the sacred light spiritual water was placed.

“For the third item, I’ll take this.”

Although Xiao Liu didn’t understand what Gandalf would use this sacred light spiritual water for, he still quickly recorded it.

“However,”

Zhou Huai’s tone suddenly shifted.

“This sacred light spiritual water seems to be worth much less compared to that Dragon Egg and the Embrace of the Stars.”

“How about you give me all three bottles?”

Xiao Liu was a bit hesitant for a moment.

“Mr. Gandalf, this...this is already an exception made by the Governor...”

Zhou Huai continued to bargain.

“You see, I’ve already given up my chance to choose from the S-Class Treasure Vault, can’t you make another exception for me?”

He held up two fingers.

“Then I can at least take one more bottle, right?”

A fine layer of sweat beaded on Xiao Liu’s forehead.

The Governor had previously instructed him to try his best to meet Gandalf’s requests.

He could only nod.

“In that case, Mr. Gandalf, please take two bottles of this sacred light spiritual water.”

Zhou Huai grinned happily.

“Then thank you very much.”

Xiao Liu quickly opened the display cabinet and carefully took out two bottles of sacred light spiritual water, placing them in a specially made box.

At this point, all three treasures had been selected.
