Chapter 667: The Price of "Friendliness".
The two black and white envoys of Oceania lurked near the super battleship and secretly checked the movements of everyone on board.
"It's strange why don't the little animals feel like they're facing a great enemy, but rather as if they're preparing to welcome their distinguished guests?" ”
"Maybe it's because they've realized that they have no way out, so they curry favor with us for mercy."
"For some reason, I couldn't bear it this time."
"I feel the same way. Let's not get busy killing all sides, let's enjoy this friendly energy atmosphere. You know, friendliness is a scarce commodity in any post-apocalyptic environment, especially for us Star Soul Shepherds. ”
"Makes sense. Haven't anyone been nice to us since we became Star Soul Shepherds. For the sake of that, let's let the little animals live a little longer. ”
The second envoy kept stealthy and snooped on everyone for a long time. The black envoy suddenly said: "Partner, we just stare at the prey in our mouths, and if we spread it, those perverts will laugh at us for being perverted." ”
"Why are they laughing at us? We tasted friendliness, did they taste it? ”
"Not to mention, this friendly energy field is really refreshing, full of joy, and can't stop."
"Partner, a brilliant idea popped up for me: since friendliness is a scarce commodity, there must be a huge market demand. Why don't we try to regenerate the goodness and sell it? You can definitely make a lot of money! ”
"Great idea!" The Black Envoy couldn't help but praise loudly. This sound alarmed everyone on the boat, but everyone was instructed by Lin Zaishan to continue reciting the "Shanghe Mantra" he had just taught, and none of them reacted hostilely.
The second envoy held his breath and concentrated for a while, and then discussed the plan to make a fortune.
"Partner, in order to achieve the goal of selling friendly and making money, we must first solve a key technical problem: how to mass produce friendly? You know, we're not trained to be friendly; And the people we work with seem to have forgotten about friendliness. ”
"I believe that since the animals on board can be friendly, they must have mastered the means of making them friendly; As long as we capture them and torture them to extract confessions, we will definitely get the secret of producing kindness. ”
"Okay, that's it! Forcing friendliness, this is the first time this kind of work. ”
//////
The second envoy has a certain idea and shows his figure. shouted at Lin Zaishan: "Hurry up and hand over your friendliness, otherwise we will collect you with the Heavenly Punishment Stone again!" ”
Lin Zaishan smiled: "The two envoys want to be friendly, right? It's easy. ”
"Tell me, what's the condition for you tough guy?"
"The secret of mass manufacturing friendliness is actually very simple, that is, to sincerely recite the 'Shanghe Mantra', can the two envoys dare to try it?"
The two envoys glanced at each other, both of them were a little hesitant, they were worried that Lin Zaishan's spell was deceitful.
Lin Zaishan immediately recited the "Shanghe Mantra" aloud.
The black envoy said: "Little animal, you just give us pseudo-code (spell), who knows what mystery is hidden inside?" If you want to be trusted by us, you have to tell us the source code without reservation. ”
"No problem!" Lin Zaishan sent the source code to the second envoy, and took the trouble to explain the coding principle and point out the precautions.
"Partner, it all looks real." Shiro used the secret language.
"Ha, we've made a lot of money this time." Black replied in a secret language, "I originally carried the Damnation Stone, and I was going to amplify my moves in a critical moment; I didn't expect the process to be so easy. ”
"Partner, why do you feel my heart pound when you mention the Heavenly Damnation Stone? It's powerful, but the consequences are unpredictable, so it's better not to use it. ”
"Agreed! But I'm still going to use the Damnation Stone to scare the little animals. The Black Envoy forcibly restrained his smugness, and said to everyone on the ship in a majestic voice: "We Star Soul Shepherds are not good men and women, we ask for friendship to make a fortune, not to do good. If we find out that your 'Shanghe Curse' has ghosts, we will destroy you with the Great Killing Weapon, the Punishment Stone! As he spoke, he took out the Stone of Damnation and held it high above the top to show it to everyone.
Everyone stared at the terrible stone that had swallowed them countless times, and they were all terrified, and the friendly energy field that had been built with great difficulty suddenly appeared disturbed and deteriorated. Sensing the anomaly, the black and white envoy moved the killing machine, and the black envoy prepared to activate the Heavenly Damnation Stone again.
Lin Zaishan hurriedly reminded: "Everyone recite the 'Shanghe Mantra' with me!" His gentle voice and warm smile were contagious to everyone.
Everyone did as they did, and the friendly energy field quickly recovered and strengthened.
The Black Envoy took a deep breath and said with a smile on his face, "This feeling is really good! Partner, have you backed up this experience so that you can show it at the Friendship Fair in the future? ”
"Ha, this needs to be reminded!"
The second envoy secretly deliberated for a while, and selected the white envoy to recite the "Shanghe Mantra", and there was no adverse reaction at that time. They were not at ease, and even offered to stay on the ship for a while to see what would happen. Lin Zaishan agreed without hesitation.
//////
The next twenty hours were spent in a very peculiar atmosphere. Accompanied by Lin Zaishan, the second envoy toured around the super battleship and asked questions. After everyone was approached by the second envoy, they were instinctively frightened, and then they concentrated on reciting the "Shanghe Mantra" according to Lin Zaishan's instructions. The whole ship is permeated with an ever-strengthening energy field of harmony, friendliness, and warmth. This is an unheard of and unseen peace between the Star Soul Shepherd and the so-called cattle. Such a sight has never happened in any of the eschatological planes.
"Partner, it's been more than 24 hours and there haven't been any adverse reactions. In my experience, I am 90% sure that the 'Shanghe Curse' is hiding a conspiracy and a trap. The White Envoy said.
"Hmm. We still have a lot of important things to attend to, and we don't have time to spend time with these animals, although they were all lovely today. ”
"Do you mean to trade with them, or kill them?"
"I can't make up my mind, why don't I throw a Destiny Coin to decide?"
"That's fine. If the light side is upward, we trade with the little animals; On the other hand, if the dark side is facing up, we will go on a killing spree. ”
"In order to avoid disturbing the process of tossing the Destiny Coins, let's create a protective energy field first." The second envoy immediately started to protect himself from the air with a thick energy field in the N layer.
Seeing this, Fritsch asked Lin Zaishan in surprise: "It seems that the second envoy is going to use force with us in the end, what should we do?" ”
"Don't worry. Everyone, keep it up nice! Lin Zaishan reminded loudly.
"Well, being friendly under the other party's butcher's knife can only be done by a pervert like you. Casidio, the head of the Latter-day Saints Society, does not possess this psychological quality. ”
"You're exaggerating my so-called perverts, and in my opinion, even if the friendly strategy fails, it's a big deal for us to do it all over again."
//////
The Black Envoy took out a coin with a strange glow, held it in the palm of his hand, put his hands together and said something in his mouth, and then resolutely tossed the coin into the air.
The coin, which was destined for the entire ship, tumbled and shimmered in the air, reaching a high point and releasing a circle of light before accelerating its fall.
Lin Zaishan, who had already been marked with multiple seventh-level star soul symbols outside the energy field and had extraordinary speed and time control abilities, tried his best to make out the trajectory and direction of the coin.
Everyone on the boat stared intently at the coin, secretly praying that the light side would be up.
"Smack", the coin fell into the palm of the black messenger's hand.
The second makes the coin hold its breath and stares intently, with the glossy side facing upwards.
Everyone, including the second envoy, let out a long breath.
The black envoy and the white envoy secretly discussed for a moment, withdrew the protective energy field, and said to Lin Zaishan: "We will be merciful and promise to trade with you today. Everyone on the ship was overjoyed when they heard this, but the black envoy's tone changed, and he raised the Heavenly Punishment Stone and threatened: "The 'Shanghe Curse' can only buy your lives, but we failed to complete the harvesting task today, and you must compensate for this loss!" ”
Lin Zaishan said: "You can think about it, I don't know what compensation the two envoys want?" ”
"You have more than 100 lives on the whole ship, so let's be so-so and casually compensate me for 100 star souls."
"I only have the Star Soul Primordial Body, I wonder if the two envoys are willing to accept it?"
"What we want is the Star Soul Primordial Body!" The Black Envoy said and showed up the receiving vessel.
Lin Zaishan immediately took out 100 Star Soul Primordial Bodies from his Star Soul World and handed them to the Black Envoy.
The Black Envoy smiled, "I'm satisfied! However, I forgot to remind you that this is my personal condition, and my partner has not yet met it. ”
The people on the ship were not only a little annoyed when they heard this. Lin Zaishan hurriedly stimulated everyone's friendly energy.
The white envoy smiled and said, "My conditions are the same as my partner, and I also need 100 Star Soul Primordial Bodies, and the level is not limited." ”
Lin Zaishan was full of pain and struggle, and he had done enough of the scene of being deceived and miser, so he reluctantly handed over another 100 Star Soul Primordial Bodies to the White Envoy.
The second envoy was full of pride, laughing and drifting away.
Although everyone on the ship saw the Star Soul Shepherd leaving, they were still relieved, and stayed in place for a long time, not seeing any whirlpool of heavenly damnation, and no other accidents happened, so they were sure that they had broken out of the cycle of death, and cheered in unison!
//////
Caroline threw herself into Lin Zaishan's arms for a moment and asked, "Honey, are you sure we really have to break the cycle of death this time?" ”
"100% sure."
"What is your basis?"
"I'm able to pick up signals from the outside world again." Lin Zaishan helped Caroline comb her hair while quickly processing a piece of radio waves she had just received. "Huh? It turned out to be a cry for help from humans! ”
"Who is it? Where is it? ”
"There are no coordinates on the airwaves, and we have just connected to the outside world, and we haven't even figured out where we are."
"I feel like the first thing we should figure out is not where, but in what era."
"Yes, we have so many rounds in the death loop that it's a real question of what happened to the outside world."
Fritch suddenly coughed and interjected, "Zarin, I don't want to disturb the intimacy between the two of you, but it's really important to find out where and when we are now. Didn't you say that guy in the sky wouldn't be swallowed up by the whirlpool of damnation? Then it should know the information we need. ”
"Not bad." Lin Zaishan was about to leap into the air to inquire, when the purple electric mist that had always been hidden in the clouds in the sky suddenly appeared, and accelerated its dive, descending directly above the super battleship, obscuring the sky and the sun.
"Lao Tie, why are you here?" Lin Zaishan sensed the strong unfriendly energy aura of the purple electric mist.
The purple electric mist instantly launched a round of information overload attacks on everyone on the ship, except for a few people such as Lin Zaishan and Fritsch, the rest were unconscious on the spot.
"Lao Tie, what do you mean by that?" Lin Zaishan asked.
"Hehe, I don't mean anything else, I'm just here to collect my own payment! In the past thousands of cycles, I have worked tirelessly to store and deliver information for you. I'm sorry if I don't get paid enough! ”
"What do you want?"
"I want the star souls of all of you!"
"You're not asking for a reward, you're asking for your life!"
"Yes, I just want your life!"
"For the sake of your great help in the past, I would like to remind you that if you want other people's lives, you need to be strong enough."
"You don't have to worry about that." Purple Electric Mist replied proudly, "Let me tell you two little secrets: First, in the process of helping you realize the cross-cycle transmission of information, I also have all your information and knowledge by the way. ”
"So you've already been rewarded with the most precious thing, so why bother with it?"
"Do you think I'm as stupid as you are?" Purple Electric Mist sneered: "I'll tell you the second secret, I hope you don't vomit blood after hearing it." ”
"What secret can make you so proud?"
"Haven't you ever wondered how this kind of death cycle can happen in a confined space?"
"Of course I thought about it. Isn't it the Vortex of Damnation and the curse of the Fire Stealer? ”
"Hehe, you're missing one factor."
"Which factor?"
"My control over the local environment. Without my presence, you would have been swallowed up by the whirlpool of damnation to the Otherworld for eternal suffering, and your companions would have been destroyed once and for all. ”
"So you're kind to us."
"To tell you the truth, to control your surroundings is to take your information and knowledge and to evolve yourself. Every increase in your knowledge has been stolen by me 100%. You can imagine how my strength will change after thousands of cycles. I'll give you a taste of my awesomeness now! I'll complete the task that the pair of Star Soul Shepherds didn't complete! "The purple electric mist released a powerful information flow and energy field to trap the super battleship Tuan Tuan Tuan, and began to concentrate on attacking Lin Zaishan.
Lin Zaishan said while resisting: "The richer the knowledge, the more wisdom increases. But alas, you only grow in knowledge and do not increase in wisdom. ”
"Is the prey who is dying to talk about wisdom?" The purple electric mist was dismissive of Lin Zaishan's words.
"I don't know who died." Lin Zaishan sighed, with a sad expression on his face.
