Undoubtedly, Fang Senyan had received multiple offers at this juncture, with bids coming from the Blue Light team and the Sea Alliance. Even more astonishingly, an offer materialized from a previously obscure lone wolf, specifically requesting the divine artifact Black Arrow held by Fang Senyan!

Of course, to say this lone wolf had shown no prior signs wouldn't be entirely accurate. Remember the first casualty among the Ring Bearer squad during the siege? In the deep, dark night, a massive stone seemed to have "accidentally" struck Pipin, turning the 3D character into a flat, 2D silhouette.

At the time, everyone assumed it was a coincidence. Now, looking back, they realized how profoundly mistaken they had been. This lone wolf's entire team consisted of hired help, and he himself was a top-tier figure from Noah Space M, essentially an external reinforcement invited by Noah Space C.

What he put up for trade for the divine artifact was Gold Universal Points! And the quantity was staggering! It was actually more than what Fang Senyan possessed, indicating he had primarily stockpiled significant Contribution Points, converting them into Gold Universal Points.

Facing the request from this individual named "Lycai Yi," Fang Senyan neither agreed nor refused outright. Everything would have to wait until the items/equipment that could be redeemed with Gold Universal Points were displayed. Divine artifacts were things one encountered by chance; more importantly, Fang Senyan currently lacked any experience in trading such items, making valuation difficult. If a trade were necessary, he might as well take it to the military rank auction. Fang Senyan was already a legitimate Lieutenant General; he had witnessed Major General Loki purchasing Gungnir last time. Although a portion of the transaction tax would go to the auction house, that loss was transparent—it was certainly much better than selling it off cheaply.

At this moment, a series of exclusive rewards for the Gold Main Quest began to pop up.

Gold Main Quest Exclusive Reward: Eznazuo-Kruka-Lu Ion Composite High-Energy Injector Type III. Description: This biological reagent was purified by the National Laboratory from the blood of an ancient giant beast. It possesses immense power and is exceedingly precious, capable of temporarily awakening the latent potential deep within the Contractor's heart. Upon administration, you will be temporarily promoted to the next higher Tier (Colonist promotes to Awakened, Awakened promotes to Refiner), experiencing vastly superior strength for a duration of one month or until you depart the current Nightmare World. Purchasing this Gold Main Quest Exclusive Reward requires 27 (33) Gold Universal Points. (Given your military rank and notoriety, you will receive a six-point discount on the first item of this category you purchase.)

Gold Main Quest Exclusive Reward: Headscarf of the Wind Chaser. Description: On Planet Andes, a powerful magical beast known as the Wind Bird resides; it moves as swift as the wind, being incredibly fast and a major threat to the local inhabitants. However, when a Wind Bird is near death, it seeks out a quiet place with very specific environmental requirements: it must be near clear water and have an abundance of fragrant grass, allowing the scent to linger for a long time. Thus, the local humans intentionally create such environments. Although the Wind Bird wreaks havoc before its death, its remains often benefit certain fortunate natives. The Headscarf of the Wind Chaser is woven from the downy feathers of the Wind Bird; it typically takes the downy feathers of seven or eight Wind Birds to weave a single headscarf. The scarf can be tethered to a headwear slot and will not occupy a dedicated equipment slot. When equipped, your Attack Power will increase by 15% of your current Attack Power, and your Movement Speed will also increase by 15% of your current Attack Power. The maximum increase to Attack Power cannot exceed two hundred points, and the maximum increase to Movement Speed cannot exceed thirty points. Purchasing this Gold Main Quest Exclusive Reward requires 41 (50) Gold Universal Points. (Given your military rank and notoriety, you will receive a nine-point discount on the first item of this category you purchase.)

Gold Main Quest Exclusive Reward: Mysterious Treasure Map. Description: This ancient treasure map contains mysterious and powerful energy, seemingly capable of revealing the ultimate secrets of the world—though this also implies astonishing danger! Upon use, you will obtain a continuous quest chain. Completing this quest until the very end will unlock the hidden world of the current location (if one exists). If this world is not designed to have a hidden world, this continuous quest chain will extend into the next world. Purchasing this Gold Main Quest Exclusive Reward requires 27 (33) Gold Universal Points. (Given your military rank and notoriety, you will receive a six-point discount on the first item of this category you purchase.)

Gold Main Quest Exclusive Reward: Enigmatic Forging Blueprint (Limited purchase of three per person). Description: These blueprints were discovered in a ruin. Some experts believe the concepts behind them are wildly imaginative and ingenious; others think their designs are utterly fanciful and nonsensical! However, all experts agree that gathering all the required materials listed on the blueprints will certainly not be easy. After collecting all materials and using them, there is a chance to forge Legendary Equipment; naturally, there is also a chance of forging nothing more than a pile of worthless junk. Purchasing this Gold Main Quest Exclusive Reward requires 41 (50) Gold Universal Points. (Given your military rank and notoriety, you will receive a nine-point discount on the first item of this category you purchase.)

Gold Main Quest Exclusive Reward: Blue/Red Cloud Crystal. Description: These are gems extracted from ores found in the spacetime plane; each gem is worth several planets. Use: Changes the corresponding weapon attribute to Ice-type/Fire-type attack. Purchasing this Gold Main Quest Exclusive Reward requires 62 (75) Gold Universal Points. (Given your military rank and notoriety, you will receive a thirteen-point discount when you are eligible to purchase this item category.)

Following this, an astonishing number of various items and equipment appeared, virtually ensuring everyone could find something they had long desired. At the very bottom of the list, Fang Senyan’s eyes suddenly locked onto one item: The Base of Aladdin's Lamp, an exclusive reward for the Gold Side Quest! More importantly, this line of small text was radiating a dazzling purple glow—the exclusive color reserved for divine artifacts! Description: This is an artifact imbued with miraculous power. Although only half of it remains and the oil has run dry, its legend is still thunderous. Legend claims this was left behind by the Creator; for this reason alone, you should acquire it. Use: Combining this item with the Vessel of Aladdin's Lamp and the Lamp Oil of the Divine Lamp will cause a miracle to occur, granting you the power that everyone dreams of! Of course, you cannot possess this miracle indefinitely. Purchasing this Gold Main Quest Exclusive Reward requires 150 (150) Gold Universal Points. (Due to your military rank and notoriety, you receive no discount when you are ineligible to purchase this item category.)

Fang Senyan immediately summoned his subordinates and shared the attributes of the Base of Aladdin's Lamp in the team channel: "Do any of you have any leads on the Vessel of Aladdin's Lamp or the Lamp Oil?" Based on their contributions, each person's list of exclusive Gold Side Quest rewards was about half identical, but half different. Regrettably, only Aziz and Zi had Legendary items/equipment appearing on their lists, let alone purple ones.

Fang Senyan’s agitation naturally drew their attention. Many even connected it to the legend of Aladdin’s Lamp… the one that could summon an omnipotent Genie capable of granting any wish!

"A miracle will occur, granting the power everyone dreams of... what does that mean?" San Zai suddenly murmured.

Fang Senyan narrowed his eyes: "The key to this question actually lies in that word—everyone. What is the one thing everyone collectively fears?"

"Death..." Zi couldn't help but whisper, "Could this item be that key? The supreme key we have been searching for relentlessly yet never found? The magical item that can escape the penalty of death? A miraculous item capable of resurrecting the dead?"

"Highly possible," Fang Senyan's eyes shone with hope. "At least this is a ray of dawn! Activate our network and investigate what treasures the others have."

At this time, all the Contractors were exchanging information, frantically inquiring about others' private goods. Fang Senyan's team was clearly popular, so they obtained the most first-hand data quickly! Soon, Aziz reported calmly to Fang Senyan: "One fellow has the magical Lamp Oil. I wasn't initially certain it was what we needed, but that guy quoted a price of 100 Gold Universal Points. Such an astonishing price suggests it’s what you’re looking for."

Fang Senyan quickly calculated, then instructed his teammates to pool resources and purchase both the Base of Aladdin's Lamp and the Lamp Oil. Aziz was evidently a respected figure, and the person holding the Lamp Oil option had even been saved by Aziz on the battlefield, so the acquisition was secured with little cost.

Although there was still no news regarding the Cover of Aladdin's Lamp, at least hope existed now, right? It was far better than the previous state of complete confusion and no prospects.

Although Fang Senyan forfeited the opportunity to upgrade himself at this Gold Main Quest rewards bazaar, he had already secured sufficient dividends from the war, and the other members of the Ace Team had, more or less, acquired the equipment/items they coveted.
