Chapter 548: Chapter 547: I reserved this one.

"Mr. Wu."

"Mr. Wu."

The researchers, clad in white lab coats, stood up one after another, and Director Huang hurried over, "Mr. Wu, what brings you here?"

Wu Tianyan gently pressed his hands down, his face showing a kind expression, "Carry on with your work. I just took a rare leisurely stroll today. Director Huang, you wouldn’t mind, would you?"

"How could I?" Huang Yufeng, somewhat flattered, quickly made a gesture of invitation, "Please come with me, Mr. Wu."

"I will just sit for a while. I won’t disturb your work," Wu Tianyan waved his hand and took a seat at random. "The information here today must be kept confidential, as a direction for future research."

Huang Yufeng nodded, "Yes."

Beep.

Just then, the big screen received another message.

"Item number 00002: Suspected to be an artifact for imparting skills to mutant creatures."

Inside the national treasury of the Great Xia kingdom.

Shao Zifeng reluctantly put away his phone. This jade cong was already the fifth artifact, and after the initial novelty, he realized that items related to ancient times were likely to become artifacts. Though they were not of high quality, their sheer quantity was overwhelming.

Thinking about the countless unexcavated ancient tombs in Great Xia, this was indeed a precious legacy left by the ancestors.

However, this was just a thought, for there were so many artifacts here because this was in the national treasury, where the items had been screened and selected.

After reviewing these artifacts, Shao Zifeng also noticed their common feature; they were all burial goods either from the tomb No. 1 leaders or sacrificial rites.

As far as he had seen so far, there were no artifacts unearthed from ordinary ancient tombs.

Shao Zifeng continued to check the properties of the items, recording the information on his phone.

As his gaze shifted to the next item, his right hand holding the phone suddenly trembled, a strange desire emerging in his heart. He looked intently and saw on the high platform an almost decayed bone dagger, its handle and spine severely pocked with honeycombed holes, but the blade itself was still tightly adhered, flickering with a cold light under the illumination.

If one did not look closely, they wouldn’t even notice that it was a dagger.

Shao Zifeng suppressed the inexplicable longing in his heart, quietly waiting for the item information to appear.

[Name]: Sacrificial Bone Blade

[Properties]: Unknown

[Quality]: ★★★

[State]: Severely damaged (one-time use item)

[Effect]: Ghost God Sacrifice: Consumes a portion of the user’s own blood to feed the blade, summoning the Evil God’s Soul to possess the body.

[Description]: An artifact used by ancient evil god tribes to summon evil gods and strengthen themselves. Using it will grant immense power, but afterward, the user will become a slave to the evil god. (According to tests, it is suspected to contain viral energy.)

’Ghost God Sacrifice.’

While viewing the properties of the item, Shao Zifeng’s right hand couldn’t help but press against the glass. Purple and red veins emerged on the back of his hand, forming an abstract eye reflecting the purple-red luster twinkling in the dagger’s double eyes.

Simultaneously, the dagger slightly shook, emitting wisps of purple-black smoke from the honeycomb-like holes.

’Master...’

’You have finally...’

’After thousands of years...’

An ethereal and sinister voice intermittently arose near his ear, the bone dagger gradually enlarging in his pupils as if trying to occupy them.

Shao Zifeng’s breathing became increasingly rapid, his heart pounding unstoppably. He bit his tongue tip, using the pain to counteract the desire.

But as he slightly regained his senses and tried to listen more closely, the voice disappeared.

What was that?

Was that a hallucination?

Isn’t it only in the face of viruses that I feel such desire?

No.

The emotion now was even more intense than when he faced the virus directly; at least he wouldn’t lose his composure like this when facing the virus.

Virus.

Virus.

Shao Zifeng thought of a crucial point, forced his gaze away from the Sacrificial Bone Blade, and focused on the plaque next to the bone blade.

’Storage ID 00008: Unearthed in 2005 from the No. 1 tomb at the Xiashanzhai site in Yunnan. The specific age is unknown, determined by carbon-14 dating. The day it was unearthed, the archaeological team sought help from the county cultural relics research institute. When the rescue team arrived at the scene, it was chaotic, with traces of intentional destruction. Of the three archaeologists, two died and one disappeared. Only this burial object was found in tomb No. 1.’

Looking at the introduction on the plaque, Shao Zifeng’s expression fluctuated unpredictably.

He vaguely felt that this object had something to do with the Holy Origin Society.

It was just the faint sound he had just heard...

A moment later, Shao Zifeng took a deep breath and rapidly typed into his phone: "Storage ID 00008: The item is extremely sinister, do not touch it lightly."

As he was about to upload it, his finger paused on the upload icon.

Then he deleted those words and re-entered: "Artifact 00008, I have reserved this one."

Ding~

At the Research Institute for Special Items, several people looked at one another at these words on the screen.

Wu Tianyan was first a bit startled, then turned his head and smiled at Secretary Sun, "This kid, he’s really not the least bit polite."

Secretary Sun, uncertain of his meaning, tentatively asked, "Mr. Wu, should we pay close attention to this...?"

Wu Tianyan shook his head and said to Huang Yufeng, "Director Huang, no one should apply to research this item."

"Yes, Mr. Wu," Huang Yufeng quickly agreed.

Secretary Sun looked at the smiling Wu Tianyan, his face thoughtful.

His old boss really was always willing to accommodate Shao Zifeng.

After leaving the item number 8, Shao Zifeng didn’t think too much about it, afraid he might not be able to resist smashing the glass right then and there.

The next few items were mostly inheritance items, some even had very strong-sounding names.

Of course, there were also some small surprises.

Like this item right in front of him.

[Name]: Shantou Stone

[Property]: None

[Quality]: ★

[State]: Intact

[Function]: One of the raw materials for ancient sacrificial jade artifacts

[Description]: The ancient ancestors worshipped ghost gods and offered sacrifices before major events. Therefore, Shantou Stone, Yangqi Stone, and Serpentine Jade became the materials for making sacrificial objects. It is rumored that objects made from these stones can serve as mediums for communicating with the ancestral spirits.

"A sacrificial medium, eh, this thing... should be useful, right?"

"Anyway, note it down first, pile up everything for Empress Nuwa later, there should be something that works... probably."

Shao Zifeng murmured to himself while quickly typing into his phone: Storage ID 00015: Shantou Stone, one of the sacrificial items, please prepare a large quantity of Shantou Stone, Yangqi Stone, and Serpentine Jade.

This large order wasn’t to inconvenience the authority, since these were indeed one of the Grand Xia’s mining products, albeit with weak energy reactions, but their use was previously unknown.

After clicking upload, Shao Zifeng looked up at the next item and was slightly taken aback.

Because this item.

Was very large.

He had to look up to see its full extent clearly.

And it looked...

Quite hard?
