Demon Eye Base.

First layer, Zijing Family's third mining zone.

Qin Shou, transformed into a Five-eyed Demon, arrived at the mining zone's inspection station and easily located the position of the Hundred-Eyed Demon.

Along the way, wherever Qin Shou passed, the One-eyed Demons, dressed in shabby clothing and towering over three zhang tall, cast fearful glances at him.

As the lowest beings on the Demon Eye Planet, the One-eyed Demons lived as if they were slaves, subject to bullying and abuse by any Demon Eye Star People with two or more eyes.

Suddenly seeing a Five-eyed Demon, it was natural for them to feel terrified.

But under the whipping of the group of Four-eyed Demons, they quickly snapped back to reality, carrying the Energy Crystals brought up from underground.

"Halt! This is Miss Charming Eyes' residence. Strangers are not allowed near!"

Two Four-eyed Guards blocked Qin Shou decisively at the entrance, showing no servile deference despite Qin Shou being a Five-eyed Demon.

The Six-eyed Zijing Family had given them this boldness.

Qin Shou, expressionless, backhanded each of them with a slap.

"Move. If you delay something major for Miss Charming Eyes, none of you will survive!" Qin Shou glared coldly at them, brushed past, and pushed the door open.

"Bang!"

The door shut, and the two guards exchanged confused looks.

"Is this person one of Miss Charming Eyes' subordinates? Why have we never seen him before?"

"Who knows? We haven't met every Five-eyed Demon here, and who would dare impersonate a subordinate of Miss Charming Eyes? Let's not overthink it. The fact that this lord isn't holding us accountable is already a blessing..."

"Right, right... Just guard the door."

...

A pink, girly-styled room.

"Haha, master finally arrived..."

Transformed into Charming Eyes, the Hundred-Eyed Demon broke into a smile and leapt to dive into Qin Shou's arms.

"Take this!"

Qin Shou punched her, giving her a panda eye, then expressionlessly adjusted his collar.

"Speak properly, no grabbing or pawing."

The Hundred-Eyed Demon clutched her right eye and pouted, "Okay, master, which mining zone should we start with?"

Qin Shou gave her a look as if she were an idiot, "Since I'm here, the target is, of course, all the mining zones!"

Although the Dark River and Light Energy River served as advancement energy sources for now, the role of Energy Crystals couldn't be overlooked.

Whether it was the Dark Lopps Army or Big Big Wolf's research, they all relied heavily on significant amounts of Energy Crystals.

Not to mention the many Synthetic Monsters in the System Space; enhancing each one with Synthesis Points wasn't cost-effective. Using Energy Crystals to assist with Synthetic Monster growth was indispensable.

All of these required money, and the income from being principal of the Mechanical Main City certainly wasn't enough—there was no choice but to wreak havoc at the Demon Eye Base.

Upon hearing Qin Shou's words, the Hundred-Eyed Demon wasn't surprised—instead, she was ecstatically excited.

She raised her Communicator, and a virtual map of all mining zones in the Demon Eye Base instantly appeared before Qin Shou's eyes.

"Take a look, master. I've been ready for this for a long time."

Pointing at the virtual map, the Hundred-Eyed Demon introduced, "The Demon Eye Base is located here because this area contains the most concentrated energy ore veins on the Monster Planet.

They designated the first layer to make it easier to exploit the ore veins using the One-eyed Demons. These mining tunnels extend deep beneath the surface of Monster Planet, and the surrounding thousand li are equipped with the most cutting-edge anti-detection systems—other forces couldn't possibly uncover the Demon Eye Base's ultimate secret."

Qin Shou narrowed his eyes, scanning the densely distributed ore veins on the virtual interface. Stroking his chin, he fell into deep thought.

According to the Hundred-Eyed Demon, most of the powerful individuals in the Demon Eye Base had gone to the interstellar battlefield, leaving the mining zones poorly defended.

However, upon hearing the value of these ore veins, Qin Shou instinctively grew cautious.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon was unlikely to be exposed, and as a Six-eyed Demon and a high-class noble of the Demon Eye Base, her sources shouldn't be wrong. Still, it couldn't be ruled out that there were secrets only top nobles were privy to.

Better safe than sorry—in critical moments, Qin Shou was quite reliable.

Regardless, with the interstellar war raging, the defenses of these ore veins were indeed reduced significantly.

However, the number of powerful individuals who went to the interstellar battlefield likely wouldn't exceed half.

Even just half was enough to make Qin Shou take the matter seriously.

After thinking it over, Qin Shou made a decision.

This operation—he was going for it!

He summoned the system interface and called up the Blue Flame Phoenix virtual model.

[Blue Flame Phoenix]+[Third-level Anti-gravity Device]+[Level 3 Claw Teeth Enhancement]+[Level 3 Wing Enhancement]+[Third-level Energy Absorption and Conversion Device]+[Holy Light Moth]...

...

Night descended.

In the Zijing Family's third mining zone, sudden violent tremors erupted from the underground. Countless One-eyed Giants fled the tunnels in panic as terrifying beastly roars echoed from below, with blinding light pouring out from countless mining tunnels.

"This is bad, Miss Charming Eyes! Quickly report to the family—we've discovered a Titan Giant Beast in the mining zone..."

Two guards rushed into the room, sweating profusely as they made their report.

The Hundred-Eyed Demon's expression changed drastically, "What? Titan Giant Beast?"

The guard shouted in panic, "That's right, Miss Charming Eyes. It's a Titan Dragon Butterfly that has absorbed the ore vein energy and fully matured!"

"A matured Titan Dragon Butterfly!"

The Hundred-Eyed Demon was appalled, "How is this possible? A Titan Dragon Butterfly in the mining zone..."

The next moment, her gaze sharpened, "This information must not be leaked—otherwise, the family laws will deal with you!"

The guards turned pale. Not leaked?

How could this not leak? So many One-eyed Giants had seen it firsthand; even if they were all killed, it couldn't prevent the news from spreading.

Given the constant scheming and rivalries between families, any disturbance in a mining zone would instantly reach all high-level families of the Demon Eye Base.

To stop the information leak—it was simply impossible.
