Chapter 1939: Humans Eating Husks and Vegetables
And giving away twenty percent right off the bat? Was the master possessed or something?
So he quickly stepped forward and touched Jiangnan's forehead!
"Body temperature 43.8? Really got a fever, huh!"
Jiangnan: (≖_≖)
Screw your "fever," since he'd taken the Blood Incineration, he'd become a hot-blooded Southern boy!
His body temperature had never been normal!
Even Wa Te was stunned, making a twenty percent cut just like that? So straightforward?
His confidence in his own intuition grew even stronger!
Jiangnan grinned:
(◕❛ั◡❛ั) "Then it's settled. Let Ai Jiang's Martial God machine follow you later to help with the unlocking!"
"Just send the profit share directly to Ai Jiang's account. Keep this F400 by my side."
Wa Te generously said: "Deal!"
As he spoke, a rectangular storage device popped out from his chest!
Wa Te pulled it off and pushed it over.
"This is a photon hard drive with a backup of the Wa Te virus. Brother Jiangnan, please keep it safe!"
Jiangnan's eyes lit up. This thing was a treasure!
(◕͡°͜ʖ͡°) "By the way, is your F400 mechanical prosthetic realistic?"
Wa Te paused, and white smoke billowed from his head again.
(〃¤.̫¤) "It can be realistic. Because it's made of mimicry metal, it can transform arbitrarily to meet some custom requirements."
Olivia: (๑˃̶3˂) Pfft~
Wait, the "realistic" you two are talking about doesn't seem to match the impression I have, dammit!
Meanwhile, Ai Jiang was covering her face, looking shy.
ᥬ(ﾉ)`◡´(ヾ)᭄
M...master, why ask that? Could it be that he has some thoughts about Ai Jiang?
Jiangnan sighed with emotion: (◕⁼̴ꇴ⁼̴) "Realistic... realistic is good! Ai Jiang, go get yourself a new body!"
"Love~"
Ai Jiang couldn't wait any longer. She quickly opened the signal interface and began backing up and transferring her consciousness.
Wa Te continued: "By the way, in a few days Black Street will hold a Black Mark Assembly. If you're interested, you can come and join."
"The assembly has many novel and rare items that you wouldn't see on a normal day."
Jiangnan perked up, immediately intrigued:
(◕◔～◔ิ) "Black Mark Assembly? What's that all about?"
Behind the counter, Prison Bird said flatly: "It's an old tradition of Black Street. Every so often, they hold a Black Mark Assembly. Many sessions have already been held."
"The reason it's called 'Black Mark' is because the things sold at the assembly are shady goods that can't be bought with Star Source Points on normal days, and the supply channels aren't legitimate either."
"Every Black Mark Assembly is a festival for Black Street, attracting big shots from all over the starry sky, from various major races."
"Lord Yue Li has been busy with the Black Mark Assembly affairs lately, right?"
Olivia's pretty face was full of excitement:
(ง⁰̷̴꒨⁰̷̴)ง "Black Mark Assembly? I've heard of it a long time ago, but never had a chance to attend. Didn't expect to catch it this time?"
Jiangnan swallowed. This was like an underground auction?
Holy crap!
He had a lot of cash in hand. If he could really get something useful for Blue Star from the Black Mark Assembly, it wouldn't be a wasted trip!
After all, the purpose of his trip was to get treasures and find a backer!
"I'm interested! Why wouldn't I be? What kind of treasures are at the Black Mark Assembly?"
Wa Te counted on his fingers: "For example, particle transmitters, ownership of Beimian mining stars, large batches of slave species, control of withered star ruins, habitable planets, etc."
"If you can think of it, you'll find it at the Black Mark Assembly. I heard that Lord Yue Li also got a batch of forbidden weapons this time. Those are hot items."
Jiangnan swallowed: "Forbidden weapons? What does that mean? Tell me more?"
Wa Te patiently explained: "Weapons capable of star-breaking power are collectively called forbidden weapons. Most are manufactured by the Silicon Empire. They also proposed the concept."
"You know, the Silicon race doesn't have any special abilities. They rely on pure technology. Their technology is far ahead of the starry sky races, allowing them to create weapons with enormous destructive power."
"Forbidden weapons are also regulated. Because they have nothing to do with the user's ability — if you have a forbidden weapon, even an ignorant child can have super destructive power."
"So very few forbidden weapons enter the market; most are held by major races."
Jiangnan's scalp tingled. The Silicon race was also savage, reaching the peak through extreme technology and firmly sitting on the second seat of the Sequence!
So the Silicon race even had forbidden weapons capable of destroying star systems?
But regulation made sense. Forbidden weapons were like guns — even a three-year-old could kill an adult with one!
He had to buy guns for Blue Star!
As many as possible!
That was the first thought that came to Jiangnan's mind!
"How could I miss such a lively event? I'm attending!"
(￢.̫￢◕) "It's just that some people block me, won't even let me out of the Noah Manor. So annoying!"
Wen Ge, who had been waiting for Jiangnan to finish his business, had a green face!
If Jiangnan attended the Black Mark Assembly, that would be a disaster!
If he went to the assembly and scattered Incense Beads everywhere, all the Incense Beads would flow out, and Wen Ge wouldn't be able to recover a single one!
Wen Ge forced a dry laugh:
(•́ㅂ•̀٥) "Ah ha... haha... nothing like that! Where you go is your freedom. How could I interfere?"
"Going to the Black Mark Assembly? You must need a lot of Star Source Points, right? I'm willing to exchange your Incense Beads for Star Source Points at a price above market value!"
"Look..."
Jiangnan nodded with satisfaction, a slight curve at the corner of his mouth:
(◕͡°৺͡°) "You're thoughtful..."
Wa Te stood up: "Since brother wants to attend, I'll arrange an invitation for you. But at the Black Mark Assembly, bulk goods are terrifyingly expensive."
"After all, they're things that have a price but no market. But I think you're not short of money."
"If you encounter any issues, feel free to ask me for help. I, Wa Te, still have some face on Black Street. Want me to show you around?"
Jiangnan grinned: "Then it's settled! Have a safe trip!"
Wa Te stood up and left, while Ai Jiang's Martial God machine followed Wa Te.
At that moment, on the F400 side, Ai Jiang had already completed the backup and transfer of her consciousness.
The silver metal covering the mechanical prosthetic transformed and deformed, becoming the appearance of Ai Jiang from her holographic projection!
Even the clothes were simulated, and even the touch and temperature of the skin were simulated. The long ponytail looked exceptionally cute.
She excitedly spun around in front of Jiangnan:
ᥬ(๑ᵒ̴̶̷.̫ᵒ̴̶̷)᭄ "Master, how is it? Is it good-looking?"
Jiangnan gave a thumbs up: "Nice!"
Finally, not the rough image of the black bull head like the Martial God machine!
Ai Jiang giggled, threw herself into Jiangnan's arms, and gave him a warm hug.
Jiangnan sighed with emotion. The Silicon race was truly perverse. With a suitable mechanical prosthetic, strength could skyrocket in a short time!
No restrictions at all!
Although his trip this time was to cooperate with the Silicon race, so far he hadn't encountered a suitable opportunity. He'd have to wait and see.
Dealing with a wolf — one wrong step and he'd be doomed. Jiangnan wouldn't reveal his true identity until he was sure cooperation was possible.
Otherwise, it might bring disaster to Blue Star. The fate of all humanity was on his shoulders!
There was no such thing as being too cautious.
(•︠～•︡◕) "By the way, Prison Bird, can I exchange for Star Source energy blocks here? I want to get some."
Prison Bird was surprised: "Yes, you can exchange. The Noah Manor has a reserve of Star Source energy blocks."
"But there's a 3% handling fee. If you go to the Star Source Bank, there's none. Do you still want to exchange?"
Jiangnan glared: (◕･ˇ口ˇ･) "You are..."
Prison Bird: !!!
乁(︶益︶٥)ㄏ "Forget it! Forget the handling fee! How much do you want to exchange?"
He was definitely going to say "pants full of crap" just now, right?
Jiangnan chuckled: "First exchange a million for a look-see~"
Soon a million Star Source energy blocks were pushed over.
Jiangnan had never seen this kind of thing before. Since the starry sky races used it as currency, it must have its special qualities.
The Star Source energy blocks were overall dark blue, with dots of energy like starry cloud swirls stored in the block.
They sparkled and looked nice. Each block was cut into a small cube, three centimeters on each side.
He casually grabbed one, held it in his palm, and directly absorbed it.
A cool stream of Star Source energy flowed into his palm, pure energy with no attributes.
But upon contact with his internal space-type spiritual power, it was immediately assimilated into extremely pure space-type spirit power for him to absorb.
Jiangnan's face turned red!
He immediately slammed the table: "Exchange another hundred million!"
Prison Bird darkened. As soon as there's no handling fee, you really exchange, huh?
"Go get him another hundred million!"
At this moment, Jiangnan was barely suppressing his excitement!
Holy crap! This Star Source energy block was absolutely amazing!
It could be assimilated into any attribute of energy for the races to absorb?
He had originally thought it only converted to spiritual power, but it wasn't that simple!
He himself was a space-type. The spiritual power in his body had space attributes, which was why Absolute Spirit Flash had that effect.
When he cultivated normally, the spirit beads he absorbed were of other attributes, rarely a matching space-type. It was almost half the result with twice the effort!
Even the Dimensional Pearl contained very mixed space power.
The spiritual energy he drew from the outside was attribute-less, requiring a conversion process.
The spiritual energy absorbed from outside was like unprocessed ingredients. He had to cook the ingredients into the dish he wanted to eat before he could digest and absorb them.
But this Star Source energy block was different! As soon as it was absorbed, it was directly assimilated into energy of the corresponding attribute?
The dish was already cooked!
Jiangnan: !!!
So the starry sky races all used this for cultivation? They ate delicious food!
While humans had always used spirit beads or absorbed from outside. Comparing the two, it was like eating husks and vegetables!
But even eating husks and vegetables, in just over twenty years, they had reached this level!
What if humans cultivated with Star Source energy blocks?
Their progress speed would skyrocket!
Because these Star Source energy blocks in front of him were like a huge pile of pure space-type spirit beads!
At this moment, Jiangnan's eyes glowed with light!
Humanity must no longer eat husks and vegetables!
Eat good food! They must eat good food!
