The Only Player in ‘Child of Stardust’
Chapter 312 - 215: Demolition_2

Chapter 312: Chapter 215: Demolition_2

"You really take everything, huh? Are you planning to take the floor tiles and pillars too?" Ye Wushuang asked, somewhat speechless at the sight.

"How did you know?" Zhou Yuan admitted, as he had indeed planned to do just that. After all, this was literal silver.

The floor tiles were of top-quality white jade, abundant with spirituality, and the pillars were entwined with dragons and phoenixes, made from extraordinary materials inscribed with Daoist charms, the beams were trunks of divine trees. Every inch of the main hall was invaluable.

This was equivalent to a mountain of gold lying around. How could it not be dismantled?

Ye Wushuang hesitated and then shook her head: "Fine, go ahead and dismantle it all."

Rumble...

With a thunderous roar, Zhou Yuan began his work. The dark matter spread out like a sea, morphing into countless strong tentacles that dug into the gaps, lifting the white jade floor tiles and collecting them into his system backpack one by one. Then came the walls, the beams, and the dragon-phoenix pillars...

In no time, the entire main hall was completely dismantled, leaving only the foundation. Nothing else remained, akin to a swarm of locusts that had devoured everything in its path.

Suddenly, Zhou Yuan heard the system prompt in his ear.

[You have acquired a new title: Demolition Worker]

[Condition to obtain: Completely dismantle a massive building within three minutes.]

[Title Effect: Damage to buildings increased by 500%.]

Zhou Yuan then checked the balance of Game Coins in his Player System.

[Star Coins: 1,305,500]

One million three hundred fifty-five thousand Star Coins!

Zhou Yuan was ecstatic, nearly grinning ear to ear. He truly struck it rich this time.

He immediately went into the game store, spending 800,000 Star Coins to purchase the skill—[Return to Ruins].

This way, he had unlocked all the prerequisite skills for [Dark Plane].

And the skill [Dark Plane] itself was priced at 2,000,000 Star Coins, but for Zhou Yuan now, it didn’t seem like a daunting task.

Outside, there were plenty of ancient ruins waiting to be dismantled!

Although the other palaces definitely couldn’t match the grandeur of the main hall, the sheer quantity made up for it. After dismantling all of them, he would definitely exceed 2,000,000 Star Coins!

...

Upon reaching the main hall’s courtyard, it was also quite spacious. There was only an old tree, and beneath it were stone tables and chairs, as if ancient cultivators used to play chess, chat, drink tea, and discuss Taoism there.

Ye Wushuang observed the old tree for a moment, then pointed at a spot and said: "Here, dig."

Zhou Yuan used the dark matter to transform into a shovel and began digging. It didn’t take long for him to hit something hard. After clearing the soil, he revealed a crystal-clear jade box, lustrous and radiant with divine brilliance.

The token in Zhou Yuan’s pocket flew out on its own, resonating with the jade box, and with a click, the restriction on the jade box was lifted.

Zhou Yuan carefully opened the jade box, finding many items inside.

Two scrolls;

Three bottles of pills;

Two fruits imbued with ethereal Chaos Qi, one black and one white.

"These two scrolls contain the supreme arts of the Questioning Tao Sect, but they aren’t suitable for you. Just focus on practicing the Primordial Yin-Yang Body."

Ye Wushuang continued to explain, "These three bottles of pills are Soul-Resurrection Elixir, Nine-Turn Immortal Elixir, and Great Elixir of Immortality. You can take one Great Elixir of Immortality; it will extend your life by 300 years, enhance your physical vitality, and heal old injuries. Don’t touch the rest.

Soul-Resurrection Elixir can heal soul wounds, while Nine-Turn Immortal Elixir is also for healing but can only be used during the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. Non-tribulation cultivators will die instantly from it, and even gods can’t save them.

These two fruits are Chaos Fruits. You can eat them, but remember, the yang body eats the yin fruit, and the yin body eats the yang fruit. Yin within yang, yang within yin. This balance allows complete absorption of the medicinal effects; otherwise, you’ll explode and die."

Zhou Yuan nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Let’s go." Ye Wushuang decided not to linger. The longer she stayed in this place, the more her mental state wavered, threatening to break her current status and send her back to the coffin.

Before leaving, Zhou Yuan bowed respectfully toward the empty main hall.

"Farewell, senior."

Ye Wushuang also bowed. Elder Qingtian had been a benefactor to her, a respected senior. Unfortunately, the elder failed to overcome the final trial and couldn’t make it to the Transcendent revival.

Zhou Yuan didn’t leave the cave dwelling afterward. He immediately took Ye Wushuang to the neighboring mountain peak for more demolition, dismantling the palace completely.

To prevent Ye Wushuang from getting bored during the process, Zhou Yuan specifically found a document issued by the Control Bureau, titled [How to Quickly Integrate Non-Modern Individuals into Modern Society·17th Edition].

It was well-known that many "anomalous creatures" from different eras appeared in anomalous events, like Chen Guangxi...

To help these non-modern "anomalous creatures" integrate into modern society quickly, the Control Bureau had compiled this document. In an encyclopedia format, it covered all aspects of modern society.

Once someone finished reading the hundreds of thousands of words in this document, even an ancient barbarian could become an expert in internet surfing, effortlessly using various slang and memes.

Zhou Yuan strongly suspected that the reason Chen Guangxi turned out so eccentric was largely due to the influence of this document.

...

Understanding the importance of learning about modern society, Ye Wushuang didn’t urge Zhou Yuan. Instead, she earnestly read the document on her phone.

Zhou Yuan, meanwhile, was frantically demolishing.

"What the heck, what’s happening? An earthquake?"

In a palace, where extraordinary people were fighting fiercely over a few weapons, they paused and looked up in confusion. They saw the palace ceiling being lifted away, a flood of dark matter pouring in, devouring the beams, walls, and load-bearing pillars one by one.

In the blink of an eye, before anyone could react, the palace was reduced to bare ground, not even a floor remained!

Fortunately, the weapons were still there... it seemed Zhou Yuan had deliberately left them.

Watching Zhou Yuan leave without looking back, the extraordinary people collected themselves and resumed their fierce battle for the weapons.

This cave dwelling unusually had no traps or challenges, with everything laid out plainly for the taking, resulting in constant conflicts!

The stronger one’s fist, the more items they could seize!

The crowd felt somewhat relieved since Zhou Yuan didn’t seem interested in these items. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have gotten a single piece.

BOOM!

BOOM!

BOOM!

The cave dwelling echoed with constant booming sounds as palaces collapsed one by one, disappearing at a pace visible to the naked eye, more exaggerated than locusts ravaging crops.

"Huh, there’s someone else doing this too."

The demolition work suddenly halted. Zhou Yuan was a bit surprised as he saw extraordinary people in this palace prying up floor tiles, clearly intending to dismantle and sell these rare materials.

But their efficiency was terrible. After much effort, they had only managed to lift one tile. They might as well collect some Spirit Grass outside... which was why no one had chosen to demolish homes so far. The time could be better spent seizing other items.

Well... if one had enough strength, Zhou Yuan was sure everyone would start demolishing homes.

Extraordinary people, eager to grow stronger and richer, could have shockingly low limits.

"You people..." Ye Wushuang shook her head, unwilling to say more. Taking inheritances and resources from the cave dwelling was one thing, but dismantling homes was too much.

A couple of people doing it was one thing, but there were quite a few...

It was a concerning trend.

"Sorry, everyone." Zhou Yuan wasn’t going to miss out on these materials, so he mercilessly continued the demolition. Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, he dismantled an entire palace within seconds.

At this point, his Star Coin balance reached 1,800,000.

Just 200,000 more!

[Title "Demolition Worker" Upgraded!]

[New Title—"Gold Medal Demolition Worker"!]

[Condition to obtain: Dismantle 20 large buildings continuously within 20 minutes.]

[Title Effect: Damage to buildings increased by 2,000%!]

Zhou Yuan: "..."

Wait, titles can upgrade too?
