A Core Ship From The Start-Chapter 789 - 560: Unexpected Gain_2

Duanmu Huai quietly drew back his tentacles once more.

He had finally gotten a good skill, and could he only use it on Ling’ Nu and Kaname?

What a waste...

"Knock, knock, knock."

Just then, a knock came at the door, followed by Mary’s voice.

"Mr. Duanmu, are you in?"

"Oh, I’m here."

Duanmu Huai retracted his tentacles and moved his limbs before replying. Mary opened the door and entered.

"How are things with Professor Palmer?"

"After seeing the ruins, he was thrilled, saying they could fill in the gaps in ancient history... Is it really okay to take all those things out?"

Mary was, after all, one of the friends who helped Duanmu Huai fight against the Naga. She had also seen the diary and knew how terrifying these monsters were.

"It’s okay, Snake God is dead now. They are no different from the extinct dinosaurs, and they pose no threat to humans. On the contrary, more studies might be beneficial. At least it can give humans more understanding about these monsters beyond just passively acknowledging their existence."

The more humans understood, the more resistant they could become to these monsters. This was another reason why Lorena did not lose much SAN when encountering these monsters.

"But as the first discoverer, you can’t back down no matter what."

"Eh? But... it was you, Mr. Duanmu..."

"Lorena and I have no need for this. Aren’t you a history student? Isn’t this an important record for you?"

This was one of the conditions that Duanmu Huai and Professor Palmer proposed, that Mary would be the first discoverer of the ruins. Mary was a history student specialized in archaeology. Discovering ruins was only logical and even a bit legendary for her.

Possible analogies would be:

A biology student stumbling upon a new species.

Or a medical student discovering a hidden and serious illness during a clinical internship.

For a student, these were very impressive events.

Of course, such things might not have much reputation in the outside world, but within the academic circle, Mary could stand out based on this. At least, with this experience, others would view her differently, which would be beneficial to her future academic development.

Like Watson, although he writes books, his main profession was a military doctor, right?

Being a military doctor didn’t stop Watson from solving cases with Sherlock Holmes, did it?

After handing over the matter of the ruins to Professor Palmer and his team, Duanmu Huai and the others left Cornwall. Mary returned to Fog City, began to write about her two adventures, and gathered her experiences into a book. As for Duanmu Huai, he did not idle around. After resting in Fog City for a few days, he quietly proceeded to Yellowstone National Park.

And the only reason Duanmu Huai came here was for one purpose.

"It’s supposed to be around here."

Leisurely strolling through the woods of Yellowstone National Park, Duanmu Huai looked left and right, eyeing the Yellowstone Volcano not far off. His purpose for coming here was simple: to find the headquarters of the Foundation and then steal the "Mechanical Descent".

No, how could the matter with the Blood duck be called stealing?

"Come on, let’s give it a try."

The use of the "Heart of the Blood Raven" was very simple. As long as you were near the designated location and used the "Heart of the Blood Raven", the player had a chance to get something. Of course, if you could see what you wanted to steal, you could potentially get it without anyone knowing.

But if you didn’t, it was simply a matter of randomly seeing what you could get.

Duanmu Huai remembered that the foundation base was right under Yellowstone Volcano. He had already walked to the edge by now. Logically speaking, the foundation base should be directly under his feet.

So.........

"Heart of the Blood Raven."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai clenched his right hand. The next moment, he felt something extra in his hand out of nowhere. Excited, Duanmu Huai opened his hand and looked at his palm.

"..............."

It was bird droppings.

Damn it, not a good start. Let’s try again.

Washing his hands clean with bottled water, Duanmu Huai tried again.

"Heart of the Blood Raven!"

............

A fountain pen, okay, at least it could prove that his guess was correct. At least fountain pens don’t grow on the surface of Yellowstone National Park.

"Heart of the Blood Raven!"

A cup of steaming hot coffee, what use is this for me?

Once again!

............... An eraser?

Again!

............... A love letter? Are you guys living such a luxurious life down there?

Once again!

.........

By the time the sun set, Duanmu Huai had not found what he wanted. On the contrary, he had almost created a mountain of trash next to him.

Is my luck really that bad?

Duanmu Huai looked silently at the mountain of trash beside him. There was A4 paper, fountain pens, erasers, blackboards, a few chairs, desks, a safe, several records, even surveillance cameras, and diapers...... Yeah, Duanmu Huai was sure he didn’t want to know what the members of the foundation were researching down there.

Are they expecting me to empty out this stuff? Although in the past, the Blood duck had done similar things......

While thinking about this, Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand again...... Huh?

What is this?

Feeling a different touch from before, Duanmu Huai lifted his hand curiously and then.........

"Soul Card?"

Yes, what appeared in Duanmu Huai’s hand was a Soul Card.

[Mechanical Descent (Legend)]

[Consume: 5]

[Attack: 4]

[Defense: 5]

[Effect: Unknown]

[I am the mechanical god who governs cause and effect. Whether you desire to bring about stability or chaos to the world, it’s all up to you...... What is it that you hope for?]

[Sealed]

"There really is a Mechanical Descent?"

Looking at the card in his hand, Duanmu Huai was quite surprised. Although players on the forum had talked about this before, no one had ever actually obtained it, so Duanmu Huai was just giving it a try. In fact, he was originally prepared to give up and go back if things didn’t go well, and then slowly conduct his own research from the reality stability anchor blueprint purchased from the foundation.

But unexpectedly, he really did accidentally stumble upon it.

"Woo.........woo.........!!!"

At the same time, the sharp alarm suddenly rang out, reverberating in the sky above Yellowstone Volcano. At the same time, the lights at the foot of the mountain also suddenly flashed brightly, obviously, the Foundation had discovered that its biggest trump card had gone missing.

"..............."

Oh no, time to run! If not now, then when?

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai took a few steps back, and then he completely disappeared into the darkness, leaving no trace behind.
