I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

Lu Yuan did not possess dream abilities and could not disperse the nightmare, so he could only summon all the power of the Tree of Life. The hundred-meter-tall tree shook violently, letting out a thunderous roar, "Get out——"

"Get out!!"

A massive spirit storm erupted in an instant!

The heart-wrenching scream reached the deepest part of the subconscious.

Zi la!

The dream was torn apart, and Lu Yuan sprung up from his slumber, drenched in sweat and his heart pounding like crazy.

"What’s wrong with you?" Old Cat swished its tail, expressing concern.

"Nothing... just had a dream where a monster was trying to get me, dammit." Lu Yuan chuckled, "heh heh heh."

He looked at the clouds on the horizon, reminiscing about the message he had just received.

All of a sudden, he was filled with motivation.

Although humans’ "Pathfinding Project" was largely for more information, a matter of interest...

There was still a hint of warm, genuine sentiment.

There were always people who were thinking about him, waiting for him, hoping he would return to his homeland.

They sent out a shout: "Hey, we’re here! Over here!"

Go home!

He had to find a way to get home!

There was no need to linger over the relics of the Meida Civilization any longer!!

"Where is your hometown? There must be a general direction," Old Cat elegantly leaped onto a rock, its plump body surprisingly agile.

"I’m not quite sure," Lu Yuan tried hard to remember, rubbing his temples, "At that time, I was in space and saw the city flying away, roughly in the southeast direction."

"Roughly?" Old Cat showed a sympathetic expression, not much different from being miles off course with just a slight deviation.

But it could only be roughly, the true direction was indeed unknown to Lu Yuan.

At that time, he was in space, and there was no compass.

Moreover, those cities were flying, not in a straight line, but on an arc.

"The direction of Sky City is just to the east, not exactly south pole to north, so when do we set off?"

Lu Yuan’s expression grew complicated: "I don’t really mind, but I’m afraid Old Wolf won’t want to leave, it should have the chance to say goodbye to its own family."

Old Wolf’s single eye bulged wide, and its pink tongue hung out of its mouth as it too jumped onto the rock.

It gazed into the distance with deep affection, its drool dripping down from the corner of its mouth.

"Comrade, you underestimate it. It can’t wait to go out and have fun with the female wolves abroad; it’s long been wanting to abandon its wives and children here," Old Cat spoke bluntly.

"It really is a scum wolf, its brain stuffed with rice sap," Lu Yuan cursed fiercely.

"Awoo!" The number one sycophant in society did not understand human speech but thought everyone was praising it; it barked excitedly.

The high-pitched voice echoed through the mountains, drawing more wolf howls.

"If nothing goes wrong, we’ll set off tomorrow!"

After making up his mind, Lu Yuan felt much lighter.

"Actually, I still have some regrets about leaving here; I still don’t know... how the Meida Civilization perished."

"There’s really nothing you can do about that," Old Cat shook its head, "Because I’ve scanned all the textual materials, and haven’t discovered any traces of their extinction."

"Unless you keep digging here, completely uncovering the city ruins, you might find some truth."

"Then I guess I’ll have to let it go... An Yi, I really don’t want to leave you," Lu Yuan sighed.

"Who’s An Yi?" Old Cat jumped to his shoulder, obviously eager, "Please tell me, okay? Comrade, don’t keep me in suspense."

"Cough cough... that’s another story," Lu Yuan feigned mystery.

Driven mad, Old Cat grabbed Lu Yuan’s neck.

Cough cough!

After some playful banter, the feelings of parting faded away.

Old Wolf and Old Cat would leave with him, and most of his belongings could be packed and taken with him.

In this situation, what Lu Yuan was really reluctant to leave behind was just the current easy and lazy life...

As for the female bear, Lu Yuan did not plan on taking her with him.

On the one hand, as a solitary creature, it still had a lot of wild instincts.

Not too bright, it had a low level of obedience to commands.

On the other hand, it had to get pregnant and give birth every two or three years, and it was pregnant again; Lu Yuan did not want to travel with a pregnant bear.

So letting it guard its own corn tree and continue living its original life... was also a good ending.

After all, the female bear was a Level 1 Extraordinary Life, and as long as it didn’t cause trouble, it would live comfortably.

"I also think the bear doesn’t need to come with us," Old Cat shook its head, "In a major crisis, you won’t be able to protect it."

"If it gives birth to cubs, you’ll have to take care of those cubs, adding unnecessary trouble."

Old Cat was always candid, considering problems from a profit standpoint.

"You should consider what luggage to take. Start preparing," it advised.

"I certainly know."

During his recuperation, Lu Yuan had expanded to an even larger Storage Space. It was about 3.3 meters, amounting to a total volume of 36 cubic meters.

It wasn’t a small number anymore.

But compared to the supplies Lu Yuan wanted to carry, it was still too little…

"209 Cannibal Flower fruits, I must take them all."

He began to organize all his worldly possessions.

The feeling of counting money is still very pleasurable… the result of so many years of accumulation.

After nearly four years of continuously harvesting, the Cannibal Flower had almost 60% of its fruits plucked.

As for the remaining 40% of the fruits that were high up on the branches, Lu Yuan simply had no means to reach them and had to give up…

More importantly, Lu Yuan had cultivated a small vine of the Cannibal Flower, which he had grafted onto the Tree of Life.

The fruits of the Cannibal Flower could hang on it and continue to grow!

From this perspective, the "Tree of Life" was indeed a top-tier support ability.

"These fruits are indeed a rare commodity… but you are too greedy, always nibbling on them when there’s nothing else to do. Eating too much other than getting fat doesn’t do much good… If you had saved some, you could have had a few dozen more."

Old Cat said calculatingly, "If you encounter other civilizations, maybe you could even trade them."

"I think it will be a thousand years before we encounter another civilization," Lu Yuan said irritably.

"Then you may be underestimating the civilizations in this world," Old Cat replied stubbornly.

Lu Yuan continued to sort out his things, "123 Corn cobs, 422 pounds of Cornmeal, 191 pounds of honey created by the Mutant Bees, 7.3 pounds of Royal Jelly, still 412 pounds of Fire Lizard Meat, damn, why is there still so much? This stuff is really nasty."

"1.9 pounds of bee larvae, 5 snake eggs, 1.1 pounds of chili peppers… and all sorts of sundry Mutated Plants, which I’ve collected some of, might as well take them all."

"Where did you get these snake eggs from?"

"I found them in the grass yesterday," Lu Yuan smirked, a satisfied smile of a garbage picker on his face.

He had been watching that group of snakes for a long time.

Just yesterday, he noticed a Corn snake had just laid eggs, so with the help of "Leo’s Mask" and the Spider Shield, he scared the snake away and snatched these eggs.

Poor beautiful Corn snake, by its nest, sadly flicking its tongue for a long time, only to find there were still two eggs left for it. It promptly forgot all its troubles and started incubating the eggs again.

Old Cat looked up, just watching Lu Yuan rummage through his belongings, "You’re quite considerate, knowing to leave two eggs for that snake."

"Of course, I never take anything to the last penny. There’s more than 2 pounds of salt left, plenty of spices, 600 pounds of potatoes, 1200 pounds of Breadfruit flour… I also have some vegetable seeds, should take those too."

"And then take the Crossbow Cannon, water tanks, tents too."

"Clothes, pants, toothbrush should all be taken too…"

"Oh, right, I also forged some knives, axes, hammers, shovels, pickaxes, should take those too."

The Superior Dagger is very good, but there’s only one,

These Ordinary metal tools are still indispensable.

Moreover, any prop with abilities may come in handy at a critical moment.

Lu Yuan had deeply tasted the clever uses of props, like "High Temperature Resistance," an ability that seemed totally useless but actually helped him to survive a Demon!

Therefore, the real use of any prop with abilities needs to be carefully considered.

The Extraordinary Items currently in possession are: Daedalus’ Tool Set, High Temperature Resistance·Fire Lizard Set, Poison Insect Repelling·Snake Shedding Set, Fire Lizard Skin Shield, Leo’s Mask, Guardian Black Iron Set.

[Lu Yuan’s Black Iron Set. (Ordinary Level+)]

[A combat suit forged from Black Iron, Mountain Copper, and a small amount of biological material. However, due to the limited knowledge level of the forger, it did not exceed the limits of the materials.]

[Ability: Hold Fast, blocking, isolating, or neutralizing a portion of spiritual abilities.]

He had forged this set of equipment over the past three years, taking advantage of a sudden Inspiration.

He had thought that "Ordinary Level" equipment would trigger a Milestone, but in fact, it didn’t… That is, the Milestone for equipment forging might only have one.

Of course, he liked this set of metal equipment very much.

Hold Fast, resistance to acid, cold, heat, and puncture. Although it’s not an all-resistance, nor 100% resistance, it has wide adaptability and is an excellent defensive Ability.

"Let’s stop the Extraordinary Items there."

"With the remaining space, take as much of that junk as possible." Lu Yuan went to his junk room, bursting with enthusiasm. It was heaped with various metals.

From metal doors to scrapped cars, from discarded machines to things like electric fans, propellers, etc., they were stacked up like a small mountain.

"No way to take it all away."

He fell into a deep sorrow.

Old Cat sat on the ground, twisting involuntarily and let out a sigh, "Lu Yuan, I want to curse now, but I also feel like you did nothing wrong… Is there a BUG in me? Or did you corrupt me? Let me try restarting."

Without looking back, Lu Yuan said, "You’re just like an internet troll now, unable to help yourself but wanting to spew a few words at anything that comes by. I understand, go ahead and rant, I won’t lose a piece of flesh."

He kept loading piles of metal junk into the Storage Space.

He did pick a little selectively though, putting less of the Ordinary Iron ingots and more of things like Titanium Alloy, Tungsten alloy, and Rhenium alloy.

He also packed a number of possibly useful spare parts like pulleys and bearings.
