Chapter 48: Let's Make a Deal

The ancient man was stunned.

"Oh yes." Its whole tree went into a state of drawing circles in the corner, and it was sad that it didn't expect this.

Can't be wrong, this guy is a tease!

"I'll pay for their losses," Mr. Chen said vaguely, "but I've noticed that you're still using electricity." ”

"Yes," the old man regained some of his spirits, "Your Excellency the Honorable Archmage......

Chen Qiang couldn't stand it: "My name is Chen Qiang, just call me Chen Qiang." ”

"Dear Your Excellency Chen Qiang, I have learned about portals in the sealed space. Seeing that you humans are using electricity on a large scale, I came up with a plan......"

"Solution?"

"I'm going to build a portal powered by electricity," said the Ancient, "and send me back 200 million years ago, when my race was still at its prime. ”

"The result?"

"Haven't started experimenting yet." The Old One's answer suddenly became vague.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Are you sure? ”

"I had my first test in the morning!" Seeing that Chen Qiang saw through his lies, the ancient man with a biological age of 100 million years and a child in spiritual age chose to confess directly, "But the energy is seriously insufficient, and there are problems with positioning, and the portal can only take me back to two hundred years ago......"

Two hundred and two hundred million, you are too far behind!

β€œβ€¦β€¦ That's it? Chen Qiang looked at the ancient man with suspicious eyes.

"That's it...... Such. "Even through the translator, you can hear the deep emptiness of the ancients.

"Experiments are foolproof? You found out that the landing point was wrong, so you just terminated the experiment? ”

"Your Excellency Wise Chen Qiang," the Ancient One chose to surrender completely, "you really know everything!" There was a little accident in the experiment......"

You are wise, you are wise!

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I went to the other side and took a look," Gu continued, "The human cities of two hundred years ago are very different from the present, and it can be seen that your human cities are developing rapidly, and they will develop for tens of millions of years, maybe ......"

"Don't blow it," Chen Qiang became impatient, "tell me, what happened?" ”

"There's something...... Someone came over from there. ”

"What?"

"In the ...... where I wandered from there In the ten minutes of human time, a human on the other side came by mistake. I didn't find out until I finished my experiments and watched the portal's data log. The total number is two, adult humans. ”

……

From the moment he met this naΓ―ve ancient, Chen Qiang knew that this time the module would not be so simple.

The abandoned theater in the western suburbs is probably just an introduction.

The difficulty of the mod "Beyond the Voice of Time" is the highest "Outer God", how can there only be one ancient of the superior race?

Even if the boss is Xiugus who hunts down the ancients, or even the lord of Xiugoth, the difficulty will definitely not reach the level of the "outer god......

Now Chen Qiang was ninety-nine percent sure that it was not the kind and friendly ancient man in front of him who had attracted the outer gods, but the guy who came out from the other side of the portal.

"Gotta find their whereabouts." Chen Qiang made a quick decision.

Whether the visitors who came here two hundred years ago were really by mistake as the ancients said, whether they were targeted by evil gods, or whether they had been planning for a long time with ulterior motives, they must be found out!

The Lenovo module starts with the sentence "From now on, as long as you stay in City D, you can see the dice test results of all the investigators......

It seems that the whole city is a stage for mods.

……

"Your Excellency Chen Qiang," the Ancient Man looked at Chen Qiang and asked worriedly, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"It's nothing," Chen Qiang took a deep breath, "show me your portal." ”

"Okay."

The old man didn't think much about it, and guided Chen Qiang and Uncle Xu to the backstage.

"Mr. Chen......" Uncle Xu asked quietly, Chen Qiang's conversation with the ancients gave him a great impact, "This person ...... We can't leave this tree alone. ”

"Hmm." Chen Qiang nodded, and no longer corrected Uncle Xu's unauthorized change of title.

With the passage of time and the display of their own strength, there will always be more and more people who are in awe of themselves, and in comparison, a "Mr. Chen" is nothing.

As Uncle Xu said, the naΓ―ve ancient man in front of him has knowledge and technological power that does not match his mind, and he cannot be allowed to wander around in human society.

……

Backstage, a two-person portal stands silently.

The strange shape was like a five-pointed star that had been split in half.

"Excuse me, Your Excellency Chen Qiang, am I," the old man asked sincerely, "for causing you and your race a great trouble?" ”

Chen Qiang did not speak.

"Your Excellency Chen Qiang, I want to hear the truth." The ancients emitted a crisp flute sound.

"Yes," Chen Qiang said flatly, "you have caused trouble for me and my race. I'm glad I found you in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable. ”

The ancients were silent.

"The Shogoth clan has never given up chasing you," Chen Qiang said, "and the strongest of them, the Shogoth Lord, has already evolved the ability to mimic humans. Once you're exposed, they'll find you soon. Your skills are strong, but you can't escape them alone. ”

"What should I do?" Chen Qiang's inference based on his knowledge of the Cthulhu Mythos was reasonable, and without the hint of the social skills test, the ancients panicked.

"You can choose to cooperate with me," Chen Qiang felt that the tree was about to be hooked, "Friend, we can make a deal." ”

"Delivery...... Easy? "The ancients didn't get it.

"You don't have a talent in the lower grades, and you also have a small status in the society of my race," Chen Qiang said, "Under my protection, you won't be discovered by those Xiugos." ”

The Ancients shook all five tentacles of its head as if nodding.

"I'll protect you," Mr. Chen said, "and I'll provide you with better conditions for you to do your research until you figure out a viable way to send you back to the Jurassic." ”

Chen Qiang generously drew a big pie for the ancients.

"So, at what cost?" Although this ancient man is naΓ―ve, he also understands that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

"You're going to contribute your knowledge to me, along with the items you brought out of your pocket." Chen Qiang said.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

"Of course, I'm not going to force you to give it all." Seeing that the ancient man did not speak, Chen Qiang added another sentence.

All the tentacles of the ancient man's body trembled, as if he was in a strong psychological struggle.

"I might give you the task of using your intellect to parse some objects and see if you can reverse engineer the technology that we humans can understand," Mr. Chen said, "but other than that, I can allow you to move and research freely within a safe environment." Your safety is entirely my responsibility. That's not an overly high condition, is it? ”

[Chen Qiang's persuasion test with bonus value: 88/55 failed]

"I, I'll think about it." Even though the ancient man had raised all his tentacles in his heart and surrendered, he still wanted to bargain with Chen Qiang on the surface.

"Young man," Uncle Xu, who had always had no sense of existence, couldn't help but interject, anyway, this tree could understand Chinese, "You think carefully!" After this village, there is no such shop, if our President Chen doesn't care about you, you ......"
