Chapter 197: Nothing more than that
The white light that appeared this time only covered an area of a few meters.
A translucent figure condensed in front of the stone wall.
This figure kept changing, sometimes middle-aged, sometimes old, as if he was choosing the 'skin' he would display to the outside world, and finally condensed into a kind old man with long white shawl hair and a beardless face.
It stared at Wang Jixuan and Shen Qionglin, with a bit of vigilance and lingering melancholy in its eyes.
Spiritual practitioner No. 4 said in a deep voice:
"You have lowered my impression of the personal character of human civilization, mystical practitioner."
Shen Qionglin had a charming smile on his lips, crossed his arms and took two steps back, handing over the main stage to Wang Jixuan.
Taoist Wang sneered: "But you have given me a clearer and clearer judgment on the civilization of spiritual practitioners."
Spiritual practitioner No. 4 cursed: "You want to humiliate me again? You have to show your sincerity in negotiation first!"
"If the sincerity of the negotiation is a compliment, then what meaningful results can we achieve?"
Wang Jixuan raised his hand to wave, and Peony ran over carrying a folding chair.
The Taoist Master calmly sat down, crossed his legs, looked directly at Spiritual Practitioner No. 4, and said slowly: "The image you just saw came from my last negotiation, the Beast Whisperer, a A human traitor who rebelled against the Psychic City and joined the Blade Beast camp, he was originally an S-class psyker.
"He is about to lead the Blade Beast to attack us."
Spiritual Practitioner No. 4 sneered: "Don't you bring it upon yourself? Without my protection, you will definitely fail. Your prayers come too late..."
"I'm not here to look for you today to ask for your protection. You can't protect a human being like this."
Wang Jixuan considered his words: "You were besieged and hunted by the blade beasts, and you also led the blade beasts to this planet, causing a devastating blow to the primitive civilization here.
"The Blade Beast is ferocious and terrifying, what about you? The founder of the Blade Beast, the trigger for the invasion of human civilization."
"It's just before and after the disaster," No. 4 said coldly, "Even if we don't come here, the blade beast will eventually come here and destroy everything here."
"Why?"
Wang Jixuan looked puzzled:
"What enmity does the blade beast have against humans?"
"Their core circuits are set like this..."
No. 4 suddenly realized something. His eyes were full of vigilance and he did not continue the topic. Instead, he said:
"Since it's a negotiation, we might as well get down to business and give each other conditions and increases."
"Okay, then have fun."
Wang Jixuan secretly said it was a pity.
This guy is quite cautious.
His intuition told him that if spiritual cultivator No. 4 continued talking just now, he would probably find out some secrets about the blade beast.
Wang Jixuan raised his hand in invitation: "You put forward conditions."
"Take me back to the Psychic City."
"No more talk," Wang Jixuan said, "Let's talk about something practical."
"Okay, my first condition is that you must fully respect my will and provide me with at least 30,000 young and qualified humans to become my spiritual slaves."
"reject."
Wang Jixuan shook his head:
"This is a war zone, not a psychic city."
Number 4 looked like he had known this before, and said calmly: "This is power, the power to fight against blade beasts. There is a certain price to be paid in the process of obtaining power. This price should be nothing to humans who can continue to reproduce. "
“There are many ways to gain strength.”
"I think you should let the commander-in-chief make the decision, practitioner."
There was a hint of sarcasm in the corner of No. 4's mouth:
"This may be very cruel to you, but to the commander of the human camp..."
"We cannot accept this."
Fu Jian's voice came, and he said slowly:
"I give Comrade Wang Zheng full authority to communicate civilly with spiritual practitioners."
Number Four frowned.
Wang Jixuan took a leisurely sip of the tea handed to him by Peony and said warmly: "The first condition we offer you is to protect your safety from the threat of the Beast Whisperer."
No. 4 said coldly: "Isn't it clear that you want to rob me?"
"How can this be robbery?"
Wang Jixuan said seriously: "We will provide you with shelter, and you must pay some protection fees.
“Actually, this is double asylum.
"The first level of protection is to protect you from the threats from blade beasts and beast whisperers.
"The second level of protection is to protect you from threats from me. If they hadn't stopped me, I would have destroyed you, Spiritual Practitioner No. 4."
The atmosphere in the warehouse was stagnant.
Wang Jixuan's empty-handed white wolf made Fu Jian almost unable to stand it anymore.
Under such circumstances, it is impossible for Spiritual Practitioner No. 4 to agree...
"Can."
No. 4's expression softened slightly:
"You can indeed threaten me. The poisonous gas you left behind last time caused me to waste a lot of spiritual energy... But if you only provide me with this kind of protection, then the technology I can give you cannot involve us. The core of interests for spiritual seekers.
"Whatever you want, pay whatever price you want...what do you want?"
Wang Jixuan nodded, turned around and asked, "Commander-in-Chief, what do you want?"
Fu Jian was silent for half a minute.
It seemed that this problem really stumped him.
Fu Jian actually just realized that threatening spiritual cultivator No. 4 with blade beasts and beast whisperers would have a high probability of achieving results.
Fu Jian, who had always insisted on walking the path of human independence, couldn't think of any benefits they could get.
Want infusion technology?
They will not sacrifice ordinary people to birth psykers.
Without psykers, it would be impossible to talk about psionic awakening technology and advanced psyker promotion technology.
Spiritual practitioner No. 4 couldn't sit still: "Don't you want to get something from me?"
"To be honest, I can give you anything you can give."
Wang Jixuan shrugged:
"I can also give you things you can't give, such as some combined attack techniques, or helping old-fashioned half-human mechas regain their glory."
Fu Jiandao: "Well, it would be good to have more technical reserves."
Technology, reserves?
The red temperature visible to the naked eye of spiritual practitioner No. 4.
Because he could clearly tell that the two people in front of him were not using provocative tactics or singing a double act.
These low-level humans!
The civilization of spiritual practitioners can be insulted, but it cannot be despised!
Especially, the contempt from these primitive civilizations!
"Don't you want to gain the power to be close to God? Don't you want to have a long lifespan? Don't you want to get a portal across the stars and go to the real starry sky?" Spiritual Practitioner No. 4 was excited:
"The Blade Beast is just a war legion created by us!
"As long as we return to our peak, we can create a new legion to fight against them!"
"Forget it, I won't talk about it."
Wang Jixuan stood up without interest and looked at Shen Qionglin who was standing aside: "You can communicate with him to see if he has any necessary skills and ask him to pass them on to you. We can't provide him with shelter in vain."
He secretly sent a message to remind: "Your communication must be under Peony's watchful eyes throughout the entire communication. I will conduct a memory search on you after each communication."
Shen Qionglin nodded calmly and said in a brisk tone: "I have a few notebook questions to ask. Please rest assured, I will complete the technical reserves related to spiritual practice as soon as possible."
Wang Jixuan turned to look at the spiritual cultivator No. 4 who was about to explode with anger. He looked the spiritual cultivator up and down a few times, and then shook his head in disappointment.
Before leaving, Wang Jixuan muttered: "I made a mistake. I just thought I could threaten this guy by coming here. I didn't realize that we don't have any needs."
Fu Jian stood up and said: "This was my mistake. I forgot that we are mainly taking the mechanical technology route and go to refine medicine."
"Commander-in-Chief, if I'm not like you, don't I need to rest? Don't I need to improve myself? If you practice during the day, you must let Beta's scalp fully rest."
"That's fine," Fu Jian nodded slowly, "I have already made a request to the Natural Sect. Beta will stay with us permanently from now on. Does Shaman have a special purpose?"
"The girl doesn't have it. She can put it back at any time, but she saw a lot of our secrets."
"Well, okay, then I will make further arrangements to see if I can arrange a marriage for her and tie her up with her family."
Fu Jian and Wang Jixuan walked side by side, chatted and left the warehouse.
Zheng Shiduo scratched his head, gave spiritual cultivator No. 4 a middle finger, turned around and chased after him.
Spiritual Practitioner No. 4:…
His body kept flashing with anger, and finally he yelled angrily:
"Asshole! You two bastards!
"You go to all this trouble to activate me just to humiliate me! Come back!
"We can talk! I have many secrets and techniques, and I can make your civilization ascend!
“Me!”
"Mr. Spiritual Practitioner No. 4."
Shen Qionglin heard a series of transmissions, which were some information shared by Wang Jixuan to facilitate her conversation.
Shen Qionglin pushed up his non-existent glasses, moved forward with a smile, and continued to say in a brisk voice:
"They don't understand your value, but I do. I understand how you feel now, but we also need to save time.
"Now, the Beast Whisperer will be here soon, is there any way you can help us stop him?
"We don't want to give you as a gift to the Beast Whisperers and Blade Beasts... Moreover, I have fully studied the civilization of spiritual practitioners. I understand your power. If given the opportunity, I will also prove your power to them. "
Spiritual Practitioner No. 4 seemed to be grasping a life-saving straw, but it restrained its emotions and asked in a low voice:
"How long until they come to fight?"
"Soon, about a week or two, about ten days?"
Shen Qionglin deliberately spoke more urgently: "Furthermore, we also found a strange bladed beast. It is a preacher, a king-level preacher. It holds a scepter in its hand, and there is a king's stone on the scepter. The crystal core of the super blade beast."
Spiritual practitioner No. 4 was stunned for a moment, and then murmured: "Gali..."
"Is that strange bladed beast called Kali?"
"No, Jialina is a name for a bladed beast... You actually discovered this bladed beast."
"The Beast Whisperer was persuaded to rebel by this blade beast. Moreover," Shen Qionglin changed the subject, "I must remind you that this blade beast imitated the psychic promotion ceremony."
Peony showed two blurry photos next to them, which were the corners of the picture taken in the soul-detaining formation at that time.
Shen Qionglin continued: "In addition, the blade beast is transforming the psyker and inserting crystal cores into the psyker's body, which greatly improves the strength... Can Mudan show the battle scene with Jin Gugang?"
"Of course, sir, let me work with you."
In front of Spiritual Practitioner No. 4, a projection screen flashed brightly, and the battle scene was processed by Peony, hiding his own members.
"They have developed to this point..."
The shadow of a chair appeared behind Spiritual Practitioner No. 4. It sat down and motioned for Shen Qionglin to sit down as well.
“Although that bastard commander-in-chief and bastard practitioner are bastards, this is indeed a huge crisis for us.
"Let me explain Kali Nao to you first, so that you can realize the difficulties you are currently facing.
"They were the original mutineers and our biggest mistake...
"The blade beast itself is a war machine designed based on the network way of thinking. Individual blade beasts do not have much thinking ability and can only simply execute orders. However, dozens or millions of individuals form a group and become a thinking network. A thinking network It requires support from node to node, which is a node that stores large-capacity information and communicates with it. This node is Kali Nao.
“The Kali Nai didn’t have combat capabilities at first. They were like human brains, the thinkers of the group.
“In the words of your human civilization, it is equivalent to a central processing unit.
"But as our demand for the combat power of new blade beasts increases, and the energy of individual blade beasts continues to rise, a sufficiently complex thinking circuit must be designed to ensure that powerful individual blade beasts can control these powers and fully mobilize them. Various ethnic groups.
"My original job was to design the outer armor adaptive system of the pillar-level blade beast. This work took me three thousand earth years.
"So, the pillar-level blade beasts also have the ability to think. Their thinking ability is stronger than that of Jialilo, but we took precautions in advance and set up a lot of restrictions for the pillar-level blade beasts.
"We have overlooked one thing, which is the mutation of Jialilao and their impact on the pillar-level blade beasts... The rebellion will naturally occur..."
Spiritual Practitioner No. 4 kept talking with a somewhat sad expression.
There is a law enforcement station stationed not far from this warehouse.
Wang Jixuan and Fu Jian looked at the live broadcast from Mudan and smiled at each other.
Fu Jian muttered: "This guy is so easy to fool."
Wang Jixuan nodded: "There is still a little innocence of a scientific researcher in my bones."
"Shen Qionglin is also a talent," Fu Jian acknowledged this.
On the side, Zheng Shiduo’s forehead was covered with black lines.
Ah this?
No, was that an act just now?
"Listen," Wang Daozhang patted his knees and stood up, "I'm going to rest for a while, and I'll start refining the elixir at dawn."
Fu Jian asked: "Aren't you curious?"
"Just tell me if you make any major discoveries. I'm not very interested in them."
Wang Jixuan waved his hand, opened the door and walked out of the small monitoring room. He put his hands in his pockets and rushed towards the seventh floor.
On the way back, he couldn't help but think about it.
If the six elders saw this situation, I wonder if their jaws would drop.
Wang Jixuan saw in Huorong's memory fragments that the six elders would fully express their respect when facing the spiritual cultivator's sarcophagus.
‘People under the eaves have to bow their heads. ’
‘I hope Shen Qionglin can obtain more spiritual cultivator skills and perfect herself and the spiritual mecha as soon as possible. ’
The Taoist priest strolled to the bottom of the residential building and was about to go upstairs when his thoughts moved slightly.
He looked in the direction of Gao Huating's secret studio.
There, a little bit of spiritual energy slowly gathered in the air. Wang Jixuan was dazzled, as if he saw light spots like fireflies, playing, turning, and sinking into the underground studio.
Sniff, sniff.
Wang Jixuan's nose twitched a few times.
Is there... evil spirit?
