Chapter 1051 - The Third Weapon Gets Unlocked! (1/2)

The steam locomotive rumbled away from the Northwest and made its way through the wilderness towards the Central Plains again.

The Great Hoodwinker said out of concern on the train, ”Future Commander, why don't you rest for a bit? You didn't rest well when we set up camp yesterday. The urgency of the Prosperous Northwest plan isn't dependent on this moment.”

Ren Xiaosu shook his head and said, ”I'm not sleepy yet. How about this? You go and sleep first, and I'll wake you up six hours later to take over from me.”

”Sure, Future Commander. Tell me when you're tired then.” The Great Hoodwinker was indeed sleepy. From the time they went to the Central Plains to abduct the refugees for the Prosperous Northwest until now, the two of them hadn't slept in over 20 hours. Although superhumans did not get tired easily like normal people, the Great Hoodwinker was still advanced in age.

Ren Xiaosu was actually rather sleepy as well, but he could not wait to see exactly what the palace's third weapon was!

When the Great Hoodwinker went to the carriage to sleep, Ren Xiaosu immediately said to his mind palace, ”I have 15,000 gratitude tokens now. That's enough to unlock the third weapon, right?”

”Yes, do you want to unlock the third weapon for 10,000 gratitude tokens?” the voice from the palace asked.

”Unlock it!”

Ren Xiaosu waited quietly, but there was still no sign of the weapon being unlocked this time.

The interior of the palace resembled a circular library filled with display cabinets. A small, delicate cabinet lit up, but there was nothing in it.

Ren Xiaosu was a little puzzled. ”Where is it?”

The palace did not answer.

Suddenly, the palace started shaking. Ren Xiaosu intuitively stretched out his right hand with his palm facing up. A scorching ball of energy that caused no physical harm started gathering in his hand.

A huge vortex started forming in the sky above the steam locomotive.

As the steam locomotive was moving at a high speed, the huge vortex above also moved rapidly along with it.

Fortunately, there was no one around in the wilderness. Otherwise, someone would definitely have been shocked if they saw this strange phenomenon.

A violet eye suddenly appeared within the gray vortex.

Ren Xiaosu stared blankly at his outstretched right hand. Meanwhile, the Great Hoodwinker in the next carriage over was alarmed. He hurriedly opened the door and ran to the front of the train. ”Future Commander, it feels like something odd is happening! An eye has appeared right above us. Have the Heavens come to subdue me because I've revealed too many secrets?”

”Revealed too many secrets?” Ren Xiaosu did not know whether to laugh or cry as he ridiculed, ”What secrets have you revealed? You've clearly just cheated too many people!”

But at this moment, the tremendous ball of energy in Ren Xiaosu's hand suddenly started solidifying into a black stone.

The black stone was only about the size of a fist, and it felt a little warm in his hand. But the strangest thing was that as the vortex in the sky started fading away, the violet eye within it began appearing on the black stone instead.

Curious Ren Xiaosu asked in his mind, ”What is this!?”
