Chapter 2632: Black Zone(3)

"Are you looking for something specific?" asked the Ironwoman.

"I thought you weren’t going to question me," Yuan said with a smile.

"Did I say that? I only remember saying that I won’t tell anyone about your secrets," she replied with a smile of her own, but it was concealed by her mask.

"Is that so? Well, I’m not really looking for anything."

"Then what’s the purpose behind your actions?"

Yuan fell silent for a moment before answering, "I... figured I’d make things easier for the soldiers who come out here on gathering missions. There are far too many for me to carry by myself, so I thought I’d bring them to the surface and make them easier to find."

It wasn’t the most convincing explanation, but Yuan had at least managed to come up with an excuse for his strange actions.

"You don’t have a storage cube?" the Ironwoman suddenly asked.

"A storage cube? No."

"They’re issued to every soldier after completing training. Since you skipped training, you should’ve received one already. Have you even visited the supply warehouse since you joined?"

"No..."

"Why am I not surprised?" The Ironwoman shook her head before taking out a pebble-sized, cube-shaped object and holding it up for Yuan to see.

"This is a storage cube," she explained before demonstrating how it worked.

The moment she injected Limitless into it, the cube glowed with an azure light and began drawing in all of the Unknown Ores scattered across the ground.

"It can hold up to ten thousand Unknown Ores," she said after gathering all of the Unknown Ores on the ground.

Yuan raised an eyebrow at the sight. "If there’s such a convenient tool, why didn’t the others use one during our missions? This is my first time seeing it."

"Probably because a storage cube can only be used so many times before it needs to be repaired, which costs money. Using one on an ordinary gathering mission that only yields a few hundred ores simply isn’t worth the cost, so most soldiers just carry it."

This was Yuan’s first time encountering a storage treasure that could only be used a limited number of times before requiring repairs. He couldn’t help but imagine how inconvenient it would be if spatial rings and storage pouches worked the same way.

"I’ll help you collect as many Unknown Ores as I can while I’m with you," said the Ironwoman.

"Thanks..."

Unfortunately, that also meant the ores she collected would eventually be handed over to the military for extraction, preventing Yuan from completely draining all of their Eternal Essence.

Since he was technically the one responsible for uncovering them, it would immediately draw suspicion if every single Unknown Ore he gathered turned out to be completely devoid of energy.

They continued venturing deeper into the Black Zone shortly after.

"How vast is the Black Zone?" Yuan asked the Ironwoman a few hours later.

"If you continue traveling at your current pace, you’d need at least five years to reach the Purple Zone on the other side."
