Superbase Evolution

Chapter 456 Treasure Hunt
"I think so too." Lin Shen felt that what Tianxun said made sense.

If he were asked to be an official who was diligent, hardworking, upright and honest, Lin Shen felt that he would definitely not be able to do it.

Although he is not a bad person, living like that is too tiring and he doesn't like being too tired.

Besides, this is the Celestial Clan, not a human kingdom, so there is no need for that.

Of course, he didn't want to be a favorite, but there was no better way now, so he could only continue like this.

"Shouldn't a favorite minister be more greedy? Why should he hand these over as well?" Lin Shen still didn't quite understand. In his impression, shouldn't a favorite minister be like Wei Xiaobao when his family was confiscated, eating all the bones and meat first and leaving some soup for the emperor?

Tianxun explained: "Do you think a favorite minister is someone who eats meat and drinks soup? If you think so, you are totally wrong. What you are talking about is not a favorite minister, but a powerful minister, a loyal minister, or a jester. No matter what kind of minister he is, he is not a favorite minister anyway."

"What kind of people can enter the Tianren Academy? Most of them are noble children from big families. If they hold power, whose interests do you think they represent? It goes without saying that powerful officials will never share money with the Emperor. There are also many so-called loyal officials, such as the Chi, An, and Tian families. However, for the development of the Giant Ring Star, the three families can get a lot of money, but if they are asked to share more with the Emperor, they will be very painful. If the Emperor proposes to the Tianren Academy that they should give a little more, I can guarantee that the so-called loyal officials in the three families will stand up and oppose the Emperor's proposal."

"This is not suitable for you, so you can only be a favorite minister. Why would the Emperor of Heaven favor you? Because others will not give him money, only you will give him money. If he doesn't favor you, who else will he favor?"

Lin Shen suddenly understood something: "I see. But I gave all the money I made to the Emperor, so I didn't get any benefit. Then why am I a favorite minister?"

"I asked you to hand it over, but I didn't say you can't take the money." Tian Xun explained to Lin Shen bit by bit: "Don't think that the Emperor of Heaven is only a spendthrift. He didn't ascend to the throne of the Emperor of Heaven by his ability to spendthrift. It's very likely that the Emperor of Heaven knows how much we got from the Chi Family and the An Family, and how much they lost. You can choose not to hand it over, but if you don't, you will be no different from the other ministers."

"If you hand it over, then you may become a trusted confidant of the Heavenly Emperor. Under normal circumstances, the Heavenly Emperor will not let you work for nothing. You just handed the things over to the Heavenly Emperor to express your attitude, and he will still give you a portion. After all, when you work for the Heavenly Emperor in the future, you will also need money to develop manpower and power. The Heavenly Emperor knows this better than anyone else."

"Since the Emperor of Heaven knows this so clearly, and I picked out the best things from here, won't the Emperor of Heaven hold a grudge against me?" Lin Shen murmured.

"On the contrary, if you are not greedy at all, the Emperor will suspect that you have hidden other greater benefits. Why are you not greedy? Can such a person be trusted? Can he be controlled?"

Tian Xun smiled and continued, "You have coveted something, and the Emperor of Heaven knows what you have coveted. He can punish you at any time if he wants to. This way, he can feel at ease."

"That makes sense, honey, you are really my good wife." Lin Shen quickly flattered her, and then asked with a smile: "Honey, what do you think I should pick?"

"Of course I have to pick the best." Tian Xun pointed at the thing he had just stuffed into Lin Shen's pocket and said, "Do you like this?"

"What is this?" Lin Shen looked at the thing in his hand and couldn't recognize what it was.

The thing is a small square box, about the size of a contact lens case, and is made of some kind of crystal. "This thing is not simple, it is something that is hard to find, it is called a space storage device, it is made of some Nirvana-level materials with space properties, and then made by Nirvana people with space power. Because the materials are rare and people with space power are hard to find, the output is very small." Tianxun said.

"You mean, this is the legendary space item?" Lin Shen's eyes suddenly lit up. He had only seen this thing in the myths and legends of his hometown or in novels, but he didn't expect that someone actually made it.

"Yes, there are many kinds of space storage devices. Generally, space storage devices made of Nirvana-grade materials can only hold small things, and a cubic meter of space is good. Space storage devices made of immortal-grade materials are about the size of a room, but some are small bungalows, and some are large villas."

Tianxun pointed to the back of the space container and said, "I just took a look and found the mark of the Beisi tribe on it. The Beisi tribe specializes in producing strong people in the space system. The space containers they create are rarely released. I didn't expect Chi 118 to have one. I don't know where he got it from."

Tianxun taught Lin Shen how to use it. Lin Shen originally thought that this box was a space container, but Tianxun told him that the box itself was a charger. Using a space container requires energy, so it must be charged with the box before it can be used.

Inside the box is the space container, and embedded inside the box is a small object that looks like a black crystal bullet.

There were some data printed inside the box. Tianxun took a look and said that this space container was larger than he had imagined. It was the best of the best. If converted into cubic size, it was about 10,000 cubic meters.

Lin Shen had no idea about the size of the space, so Tianxun gave him an analogy, saying it was roughly equivalent to six or seven three-story villas.

Tianxun demonstrated the space storage device. The usage of this thing was not quite what Lin Shen had imagined. Although it was not complicated, it was not something that could be put in and taken out by just grabbing things.

Tianxun held a bullet-like space storage device, aimed the bullet head at something, and pressed the tail.

Rings of light lit up on the cartridge case, and finally the bullet head also lit up, igniting a light bullet that hit the thing.

After the thing came into contact with the light bullet, it immediately began to shrink and was pulled towards the space storage device and was eventually sucked into the bullet.

"There are numbers on it. Every item you put in will have a number. When you take it out, you just need to activate it according to the number. Every time you put something in or take something out, it consumes energy. This charger can probably provide enough energy to open the space storage box ten times. After that, you must recharge the box again." Tianxun returned the space storage box to Lin Shen.

"So troublesome!" Lin Shen was a little disappointed. This was far worse than the space storage equipment he had imagined. It was too troublesome to use and required charging.

"Unless you have space abilities, it's very troublesome to use space equipment with the current level of technology." Tian Xun smiled and said, "Come, let's take a closer look at what other goodies these two people have collected."
