Chapter 271: You Know Too Much

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“This box that seems to be able to hold an entire galaxy would be a wonderful hiding place. As long as 1 hide it in a place where no one can find it, and I bring enough slaves in, my future will be promising…”

Grand Duke cherished this strange box that he had snatched from an unlucky research team of a certain civilization. He had once collected it only because of its extremely rare attributes, but now this box had become his life-saving straw.

“However, none of those idiots could figure out the secret… As expected, weren’t those top people completely useless to me?”

In order to solve the secret of the box, the Grand Duke secretly kidnapped many scientists, hoping that they could solve the problem of the box or at least let him live in it.

However, after witnessing how much the Milky Way civilization hated the unexpected enemy, the Grand Duke, who had such a sensitive battleship, did not dare to make any more noise. He was afraid that someone would associate him with him and then directly determine him as a traitor.

He couldn’t touch the top scientists who would cause a sensation in the Milky Way. He could only target many second or even third-rate scientists. He couldn’t kill them either. He had to send them back in one piece.

Therefore, after the captured scientists were useless, he could only use cumbersome memory-erasing methods to make those people forget about this matter, and then send them away with the help of his return spaceship.

After countless failures, the Grand Duke was already in despair. He had even prepared for his funeral and wanted to secretly live in seclusion on an aboriginal planet.

But suddenly, he received a reply from a communication channel that he had been paying attention to, rekindling a glimmer of hope.

The idea of kidnapping a scientist to help him research was no longer feasible. He could only find a curator who was paid to help him explore the secrets of the magical box.

To be on the safe side, he only sent the eye-catching parts of the boxes to the curator and did not give them the boxes themselves to study. What he did not expect was that the curator actually replied so quickly.

The Grand Duke excitedly opened the communication panel and carefully read the curator’s response.

“Hello, anonymous X.”

“The image you sent is blurry, and the data you gave is full of errors. We know you’re trying to hide something, but do you want our scientists to waste their precious brain cells trying to figure out what works and what doesn’t?”

“This is an insult to our genius brains!”

At this point, the Grand Duke’s heart almost stopped. He did not expect his safety measures to cause the curator to be so disgusted.

However, after reading on, he heaved a sigh of relief.

“We wanted to scold you loudly, but since you’ve given us too much sponsorship, we decided to help you solve this problem as much as possible.”

“Based on the useful data you provided and the video records, there is indeed a galaxy inside this box.”

“Based on the subtle phenomenon that occurred on the surface of the box, we confirmed that it used some effect of the sub-space field to isolate the space the size of a galaxy from the real universe, creating a sub-space between the real universe and the sub-space.”

“The nature of this sub-space is closer to the real universe. It can even be directly used as a carrier in the real universe to locate the location of the sub-space and store it in the physical universe.”

“As for the method to open it, we don’t think there is any at the moment.”

“According to speculation, this box is most likely a souvenir item. It probably never thought of opening it from the day it was put in. With our level, if we were to force open it, it would most likely lead to the destruction of the sub-space inside, let alone entering from the outside.”

“Perhaps only the civilization that has completely mastered this technology can switch it on and off at will.”

“We are very interested in this object. If you are willing to transfer it, we can give you a very high price.”

“To show our sincerity, we can provide you with an additional piece of information…”

The Grand Duke, who could only see the words helpless in the curator’s message, held onto a glimmer of hope after reading the last sentence and prayed that the curator would bring him the good news.

However, after reading the last galaxy, the Grand Duke’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“With your poor appreciation, you naturally wouldn’t be able to see the hidden mystery on the box, but our superb academic ability was able to analyze the craftsmanship used on the box through the images you provided. The similarity with the technology used by the Administrator is as high as 99.8%.” “If this is the relic of the Administrator, then you’d better take good care of it. It’s best if you hand it over to us for safekeeping. You should know how crazy the adventurers in the Milky Way are about the relic of the Administrator.”

The Grand Duke was no longer in the mood to read the rest of the sentence. To his disbelief, this thing actually belonged to the Administrator?

He deliberately hid a lot of key information when he sent it to the curator for identification. One of them was that his spaceship reacted to this thing!

Until now, he clearly remembered that when the group of scientists with the box passed by his galaxy, the automatic operating system on his car, which was always silent, actually sent a message.

The content read: Lost item Z-2999 detected. Please recycle.

In order to search, he even let his subordinates board the spaceship to meet the enemy instead of directly destroying it like before.

He was very sure that the box was the Z-2999 lost item mentioned by the spaceship’s automatic operating system. After experiencing the unexpected enemy crisis, he thought that it was the product of the unexpected enemy based on the condition of his vehicle.

But now, the curator told him that this thing actually belonged to the Administrator. The secret behind this made him feel a chill down his spine.

Since his spaceship, which was suspected to have come from an unexpected enemy, had a positive reaction to the relic of the Administrator, then would the battleship that destroyed the central processing unit of the Administrator also…

His thoughts suddenly stopped because the lights in the spaceship began to flicker.

The automatic operating system in front of him had also inexplicably entered standby mode without any instructions. From the image on the operation screen, it seemed to be waiting for a something link.

Suddenly, the Grand Duke’s pupils constricted, not because of the dark green battleship that had suddenly appeared in the galaxy, but because of the contents of the automatic operation system:

[ Detected administration matrix. Star Engineering Equipment B is being transferred. Please wait… ]

The spaceship’s system was returning to its original state, and the modifications that the Grand Duke had made to allow him and his subordinates to survive on the ship were also being refreshed by the ship’s own equipment..
