It wasn't just third place, though. Han Sen scanned the top one hundred geno cores, and there were many geno cores from Sacred Shelter. Sacred Shelter was strong.
There were a lot of geno cores in the top hundred that did not belong to a shelter. Perhaps some of them belonged to Sacred Shelter.
Han Sen was looking at the bronze geno core rankings when a Rockman moved. It said, "Welcome to the Geno Core Storage. Your rank is over one hundred million, so you will not be included in the rankings. Would you like to start a geno core test to determine your rank?"
"Who are you?" Han Sen asked, looking at the rockman.
"I am the Geno Core Storage, and the Geno Core Storage is me. You can think of me as a geno core," the Rockman answered.
"Does that mean the Geno Core Storage is a special geno core?" Han Sen frowned.
"Yes," the Rockman answered.
"Then who does this geno core belong to?" Han Sen asked.
The Rockman's ancient voice said, "It belongs to the entire Fourth God's Sanctuary."
Han Sen asked a few more questions, and with that, he had a better understanding of the Geno Core Storage. Then, he started the geno core test.
Inside the Geno Core Storage, you didn't have to fight your way up one by one. You could test your geno cores, and your rank would be determined based on the performance of your geno cores. As for whether or not your rank would rise or fall, that would depend on your own power.
One hundred million, ten million, one million, one hundred thousand, ten thousand, one thousand, one hundred, ten, and one. There were nine ranks in total, and each rank would increase the power of the geno core, but it wouldn't increase the level of the geno core.
Han Sen's goal was to get first place for the bronze geno core. That way, he'd be able to enjoy nine enhancements. Then, he'd be able to reach the silver geno core storage, and he'd have to go through nine more enhancements. That way, he'd be far stronger than an ordinary geno core of the same level.
But it wasn't going to be easy to get first place out of the billions of geno cores out there.
Fortunately, the Geno Core Storage's ranking fights weren't just about geno cores. It also depended on the power of the geno core's owner. Even if the egg's power didn't reach first place, Han Sen was going to use his own power to get it there.
Han Sen placed the crystal egg in front of the golem. A third eye suddenly opened on the golem's forehead and shot out a strange beam of light that shone on the crystal egg.
Under the illumination of the light beam, various numbers kept changing in the eyes of the stone man. It was like he was playing a slot machine. Numbers kept rotating in his eyes.
Han Sen watched as the numbers in the golem's eyes kept turning. From the very beginning, the numbers were densely packed in a long row. Then, the numbers kept changing, and the number of digits kept decreasing.
Although the Crystal Egg's abilities were quite good, its weaknesses were also very obvious. Han Sen estimated that the Crystal Egg's abilities would allow it to rank in the top ten thousand. Any higher would be difficult.
After all, the Crystal Egg didn't do any damage, and it couldn't really kill enemies. So, the ranking wouldn't be too high. Even if it was lower than the top ten thousand, Han Sen could accept it.
But as the numbers in the golem's eyes kept decreasing, Han Sen was shocked. "It's already four digits! Does that mean it's in the top ten thousand? And it's still decreasing. It looks like there's still a lot of room for improvement. Is the Crystal Egg really that strong?"
Han Sen couldn't believe his eyes as he watched the ranking rise. It reached three digits not long after.
The Crystal Egg didn't do any damage, and although it was useful at times, Han Sen didn't think it was that strong. The ranking was beyond his expectations.
When the number in the golem's eyes dropped to two digits, Han Sen started to wonder if there was a problem with the Geno Core Storage. The Crystal Egg was a geno core with obvious weaknesses, and yet it had managed to reach the top one hundred. It was unbelievable.
But the numbers in the golem's eyes were still jumping. Every time the numbers jumped, Han Sen's heart jumped. It was crazy.
It was like a dream. Seeing the numbers in the golem's eyes change to ones and zeros, Han Sen felt as if his heart was going to jump out of his chest.
The Crystal Egg had made it into the top ten, which meant it could be strengthened eight times. Han Sen had been prepared to go through a lot of battles, but now, he felt like he had been given a free lunch. He didn't have to go through a lot of hardships, and he didn't have to go through a lot of challenges.
What was even crazier was that after the one and zero appeared in the golem's eyes, the golem's eyes suddenly closed. The numbers disappeared.
In the vertical eye that shrouded the crystal egg with a beam of light, the number 9 appeared, and the number continued to jump.
"No way! It's still jumping?
Is this a joke?
Is the Crystal Egg really that strong? "Han Sen's eyes were wide open, and they looked as if they were going to fall out of their sockets.
The jumping numbers in the vertical eye were like a joke. There was no sense of cautiousness at all. They just kept jumping up casually.
"8 … 7 … 6 … 5 … 4 … 3 … I can't … My heart can't take it anymore …" Han Sen pressed his chest. The Crystal Egg's performance had exceeded his expectations, and Han Sen couldn't help but stare at the numbers.
When the number reached one, Han Sen was overjoyed. He hadn't expected the Crystal Egg to be the number one bronze geno core on the list of geno cores he'd been given, but he didn't expect it to be ranked first.
"Is the Crystal Egg really that strong?"
But then, he thought of something else. "Could it be that when the crystal egg was formed, it absorbed the black crystal's liquid? Is that why it is so high on the list?
But the Crystal Egg's power doesn't seem to be that dominant. It's a bit too much for it to be ranked first, but I like it. "
While he was thinking, Rockman spoke again. "The test is complete. Crystal Core's rank in the bronze geno core storage is one. It will be displayed on the leaderboard of the bronze geno core storage. Would you like to reveal the shelter where the test was conducted?"
"Don't show," Han Sen said immediately.
If people found out the number one geno core was in a gold shelter with no background, the super and king-class elites would come and kidnap him.
Geno cores could be leveled up, and a high ranking geno core in the bronze geno core rankings would attract the attention of higher-class creatures.
That was especially true of the Crystal Egg. It hadn't been in a fight, and it had been able to reach first place on its own. It would shock the entire Fourth God's Sanctuary.
