Chapter 479: The Sudden Alien (Transition)
After understanding the terrifying effect of Zheng Shu's small ball, Zhang Chulan gave full play to the traditional ability of not having a blue face, and tried every means to pester Zheng Shu.
It's a pity that Zheng Shu still rejected his request very resolutely, and the reason given was very simple:
"The raw materials for these two balls are the remnants of the original ceremony, and now they have been used up, if you still want new balls, then wait for the next ceremony."
"Okay......"
In this regard, Zhang Chulan naturally could only regretfully give up the idea of ordering more balls, although Zheng Shu said more vaguely, but Zhang Chulan understood very well that the ritual he was talking about was the resurrection ceremony.
If you think about it, if it's the remnants of such a shocking ritual, then it's understandable that it has this effect.
The problem is that the cost of this ceremony is simply not something that a lonely person like Zhang Chulan can afford.
Not to mention the messy materials that can be called controlled items, just that ton of gold is no longer something that normal forces can take.
"That...... I would like to ask. ”
At this time, Lu Linglong's voice came from behind him, attracting the attention of several people.
Although the Lu family brothers and sisters immediately launched an attack on Zheng Shu's sudden attack on Zhang Chulan at the beginning, what happened next also shattered their three views, but the two also stopped very tacitly.
Until now, Lu Lin was still secretly touching his right hand, if he wasn't in a state of reverse birth just now, it is estimated that the force of the shock would have broken his arm.
However, what shocked Lu Lin the most was that the little Taoist priest in front of him did not fight back at all, and the injuries on his body were only caused by the other party blocking his fist with his body.
When Zhang Chulan stuck to Zheng Shu's thigh like a dog skin plaster, Lu Linglong was the first to sober up, and quickly obtained some key information from the conversation between the two sides.
So when she saw that Zheng Shu was about to leave, she suddenly spoke up.
Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on herself, Lu Linglong was not stage frightened, first glanced at the small ball that Zhang Chulan was holding carefully, and then she turned her gaze to Zheng Shu's body and stared at the other party's eyes.
"Senior brother, although I don't know much about the specific situation, but listen to the meaning of your words, as long as you complete that 'ritual', there will be extra materials to make such a small ball, right?"
"You're right in a sense, but the materials needed for that ritual aren't cheap."
Zheng Shu glanced at Lu Linglong and showed a knowing smile.
Even if ordinary people encounter this kind of thing that can be called a resurrection coin, they will try their best to save a little more just in case, not to mention an alien like Lu Linglong.
"With enough materials, can that ritual be carried out at any time? Is there any harm to your body? ”
"Linglong, that ...... It's better for you to give up. Zhang Chulan also got up from Zheng Shu's lap and hesitated, not knowing how to persuade Lu Linglong.
"What's wrong?"
"Theoretically, if there are enough materials, I can do that ritual at any time, and it won't do me any harm. But...... The reason why Zhang Chulan doesn't recommend you to do this is because this thing costs a lot. Zheng Shu took Zhang Chulan's words.
"How big?"
Hearing Zheng Shu talk about this, it was not only Lu Linglong, but even Lu Lin showed a more reserved and smug smile.
After all, the Lu family is one of the four major families in the Inhuman Realm, and it has a history of at least hundreds of years from ancient times to the present, although it has suffered a little twists and turns in recent years, but it is definitely not bad.
If you want strength, there may be a certain gap with those celebrities, but if you talk about wealth, the wealth held by the Lu family, who is the head snake of a province, can be regarded as the forefront even in this country.
Although it doesn't seem to be leaky, with the heritage of the Lu family, any object at home can be regarded as an antique.
However, the smug expressions on the faces of the Lu family brothers and sisters collapsed immediately after Zheng Shu broke out the first material.
"First of all, a ton of gold, ...... silver"
Zheng Shu didn't have any concealment about the material formula of this ritual, after all, he broke out this ritual mainly to forge a god weapon for himself and collect materials.
What's more, the researchers on the side of the dark castle have already studied the resurrection ritual halfway, and it is estimated that it will not be long before the information of this resurrection ritual will gradually circulate under the auspices of the Natus company.
Yes, it was one of the deals that Zheng Shu made with the company at the beginning, although the company was reluctant to do so.
"Huh?"
Just after listening to the previous ton of gold, the Lu family brothers and sisters' brains had already fallen into a state of confusion, and after hearing the latter materials, their heads fell into a state of downtime.
If it was just gold, silver, tungsten and other high-value metals, the Lu family would barely be able to make up for it, but the family's cash flow would be seriously affected, and some of the later businesses might also have certain problems, but at least they could get it after paying a certain price.
With the value of that kind of small beads, it's actually a very good business.
The focus is on the materials that can be called controlled items, which are not eligible for ordinary enterprises and forces except for the P5 countries.
"So...... Third brother and fourth brother, let's go first. ”
"Okay, the trail chief is also walking, pay attention to safety on the road, and I will have a drink here with the third child."
"Goodbye."
After confirming that there was indeed no way to obtain new beads, the Lu family brothers and sisters said goodbye to everyone and left here to watch.
The back of the two leaving, the corners of Zheng Shu's mouth hooked up a little.
Taking out this small bead, Zheng Shu actually had other ideas besides repaying Zhang Chulan for the favor of the gods.
The reason why he used such an exaggerated means to "perform" in front of several people was actually to let them spread the matter.
There is a high probability that the character of the Lu family will not be spread, but after knowing these things, they will definitely try their best to use their connections to collect materials and see if they can obtain them.
In this process, no matter how secret the Lu family is, it will still make people notice their behavior in the end.
For Inhumans, the attraction of this small bead is not much different from the Eight Wonders.
And Xu San and Xu Si will also report what they saw today to the company, with these two paths, Zheng Shu feels that the progress of reforging the God's armament should be able to move forward more quickly.
……
……
Back in the dark castle, Zheng Shu returned to his previous regular life.
After a few days, he also notices that the atmosphere in the bunker has become a little more lively, and the researchers' motivation to study has also become stronger, and it seems that the small beads he released do have a certain effect.
"In this way, it will only take about a month to learn a rough picture of my resurrection circle, although it is not too subtle, but since these guys have been allowed to record and study it repeatedly, it is probably enough to learn it.
A month is enough time for me to write down most of the necessary advanced knowledge, and it is much faster if I just memorize it and don't understand it. ”
Zheng Shu silently estimated the time in his heart, mainly because in about a month, he had something that he had to obtain in the world under one person, if the gods and spirits were the top three, then that thing was the number one goal.
And even when he already knew that there were aliens in this world, Zheng Shu's target ranking for that thing still hadn't changed.
"After all, judging from the original book, it is very likely that it can be constructed with the help of the unique 'Qi' system on the earth. According to the recent contact with Wen Shan, although the genetic similarity is quite high, there are very few aliens in the universe who can use Qi.
There are similar special energies that are transformed by their own life force, but the nature of those things seems to be completely different from Qi. ”
Recently, in addition to teaching these people in the Dark Castle to resurrect the magic circle and record knowledge, Zheng Shu has not left behind in contact with the third type of contact department.
After all, there are not many incidents of contact in the third category, so Wen Shan and the second kill are also quite free.
In the face of some questions from Zheng Shu, they are also very willing to give guidance, according to them, this is also part of the work of helping aliens to settle on Earth.
"From the communication between the two, it can be known that the information about the resurrection circle on the interstellar union side should have been spread everywhere. I can't be sure whether it's true or not, so it's been delayed for a while, but it's almost time to make a tentative trade in the near future. ”
Zheng Shu is not too worried about the deal with the interstellar alliance, although the difference in combat effectiveness between the two sides is ridiculously large, but there is the restriction of the interstellar alliance, so there is no need to worry too much about direct attack.
And for those advanced technology planets, it's too easy to trade something with a remote place like Earth.
For the higher civilizations, it may be just garbage, and in the hands of the lower civilizations, it may be treasures that can only be purchased by paying most of the resources.
Especially for objects like Zheng Shu who have the intention of trading, harvesting trade through the technological difference between the two sides is what these advanced civilizations are most willing to do, which is simple, fast, and does not violate the convention.
In fact, because of the large technological level gap between civilizations, some low-level civilizations are not qualified to be harvested even if they want to.
"Oh? What a coincidence. ”
was muttering, Zheng Shu suddenly felt that his sixth sense was touched, and then the phone rang.
picked up the phone and looked at it, Zheng Shu also showed a smile on his lips after seeing the name on it.
"Hello? It's rare that you'll reach out to me. ”
"I can't help it, I don't want to deal with these troubles, but now there is something I have to inform you." The cold voice of the second kill came from the other end of the phone.
"I want you to let me know, I want to think about it...... Is the Interstellar Union ready for a tentative deal? Zheng Shu touched his chin.
"It's pretty much the same as you said, but with a few differences." On the other end of the phone, the voice of the second kill was full of helplessness, "The interstellar union has not yet produced a result, and now it is just a high-level civilization in the interstellar union." ”
"Oh? Is something going on? ”
"To put it simply, someone on the other side of the high-level died suddenly, because the relationship is relatively large, so I hope to use your resurrection circle.
They also said that there is no need to fully know the principle at all, after all, this thing is based on your own special abilities at a glance, so this civilization just wants to invite you to come over and help resurrect that person, the raw materials are ready, and the corresponding reward will be paid. ”
"Oh! The conditions are good, I personally have no problem, so when will I go to you? ”
Zheng Shu's eyes lit up, of course he didn't mind selling his labor, after all, he could still use this to leave the earth and wander in the universe.
"...... Now"
"Huh? In such a hurry? How long will it be before they reach Earth? Zheng Shu was stunned.
It can be clearly heard that the second kill on the other end of the phone let out a long sigh.
"To be precise, these people have arrived, and they are sitting next to me right now."
“…… Are alien civilizations so vigorous? ”
Zheng Shu was also a little helpless when he heard this, and finally understood why the second kill had this helpless look in his tone after he called.
It stands to reason that this kind of planetary trade shouldn't be at least a few months to prepare, right?
"It's not that all alien civilizations are like this, it's just because the culture of this civilization is relatively special, so this situation will occur.
And for those aliens, Wen Shan is the actual controller of the earth, so for them, all they need to do is send Wen Shan a text message and be agreed by her. Yes...... But in the process of interacting with aliens, we have become accustomed to this kind of thing...... Hey, don't rob you, bastard! ”
Halfway through the words, there was a sudden fierce shouting and scolding from the second kill, and Zheng Shu involuntarily moved the phone away from his ears.
"Anyway, come over quickly, these guys have a more straightforward personality, solve it early, and finish it early."
Honk......
Listening to the hang-up sound on the phone, Zheng Shu scratched his head, and didn't understand why his mood became so irritable at the end of the second killing, although the contact time was not too long, but he remembered that this person was actually a very gentle person.
If memory serves, didn't he just say that the aliens were still next to him?
"Forget it, just go and see."
Putting this doubt behind him for the time being, Zheng Shu found Liao Zhong and asked him to help prepare the vehicle and quickly go to the third contact department.
(These two days will be a bit busy, so I'll have to keep the basic updates.) )
