Chapter 407: Making a Deal
Not only Xu Yi, but also everyone else in the team, stepped out of the tent.
Because, a giant flying ball had appeared.
The unexpected guest was this flying ball.
However, their livestream didn’t show this scene. It seemed like everyone was still cultivating inside the tent without any sign of abnormality.
"Xu Yi, such a large flying ball, could there be a Spirit Race inside?" Lu Ke asked worriedly. After all, she had just confirmed the matter of mutated telekinesis with Xu Yi, and she didn’t want to be taken by the Spirit Race for research.
"Yes." Xu Yi said, feeling a bit concerned as his spiritual power sensed it.
Then, Lu Ke grabbed Xu Yi’s hand, watching the flying ball with a vigilant expression.
The flying ball hovered at a height of one meter and then opened.
Out of it came a Spirit Race member wearing a mecha.
"Xu Yi, I am Number 6, and I’ve come to make a deal with you," said Number 6 directly after descending.
Upon hearing this, Lu Ke immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed it wasn’t targeting her. If it were, they would have simply teleported her away rather than personally coming to capture her, right?
"What kind of deal?" Xu Yi looked at Number 6 in surprise and confusion.
What kind of deal could the Spirit Race want to make with him?
This deal shouldn’t be on the livestream, right?
Some deals can’t be made in front of all of humanity.
Also, if it was just a deal, why did Number 6 come directly over? Couldn’t they just teleport him over and then discuss the deal?
This situation is a bit strange.
"Our steward wants your six Red Lotus Arrows and can exchange them for some supplies. How about it?" Number 6 said, looking directly at Xu Yi.
Their laboratory had tried some methods but found that their imitated arrows were different from Xu Yi and his team’s Red Lotus Arrows, not achieving the same effect.
So, the lab wanted to obtain a sample.
However, Ling Qi turned the quantity into six arrows, which led to this deal.
Of course, besides coming for the deal, Number 6 was also there to clear the battlefield. They couldn’t let tents be picked up by humans anymore, as instructed by the headquarters.
This deal was private, not even known by the headquarters.
After all, the people on that spaceship were actually considered citizens of the Ling Qi family, and naturally, they wouldn’t report such matters upwards. Besides, only Ling Qi had the authority to report.
The Spirit Race is a civilization with strict hierarchies.
As for the items appearing in the deal, they could be attributed to that tent.
After all, such rare military tents are used by nobility in the Spirit Race, and it comes with a storage space for personal items, so having other things is normal.
Xu Yi paused for a moment after hearing Number 6’s words.
They wanted his arrows?
That wasn’t a problem; the Red Lotus Arrows were indeed forged, as long as it wasn’t the Black Lotus Arrows.
But, what could he ask for in return?
He knew they didn’t have many things from the Spirit Race. One was the Thunder Strike Gun, which was now useless.
Tent?
That was quite nice. It had complete functionality, and living inside was very comfortable and enjoyable.
Or maybe the arrows used by the Spirit Gods?
"I want two of these tents. Is that possible?" Xu Yi thought if even the Spirit Race wanted his arrows, it meant his arrows weren’t inferior, so why not have everyone live in such tents.
In the future, they wouldn’t need to stand guard outside the tents, since they could see from inside them.
"I’m sorry, this tent is quite precious; I can’t provide it. Here, I’ve got a few items you can choose from." As he spoke, several items appeared in front of Number 6.
"This is similar to your personal computer and can be used to store data, record images, etc." As 6 pointed to a tablet-like object.
"This is a protective suit that can withstand any attack from a Fierce Beast under level 4." 6 said, pointing to a light blue jumpsuit.
"This is a one-time use Space Transfer Device, useful for escaping." He pointed to a bracelet-like object and explained.
"And this is 12 Body Enhancement Agents that can greatly enhance your abilities." 6 pointed to a box.
"You all recognize this, a Star Chart, but its space is not 0.5, but 1.5 cubic." 6 pointed to the last item.
"If you agree to the deal, you can choose two of these items. Additionally, I can give you a very useful piece of information." 6 looked at Xu Yi, waiting for his response.
"We agree to the deal, but let us discuss what items to choose." Naturally, Xu Yi wouldn’t refuse, as each of those items was enticing.
Choosing was too difficult. If they could have them all, it would be perfect.
"Okay." Number 6 said calmly.
"Take out the extra Red Lotus and allow everyone to vote for what they want most. Two items for each person; we’ll go with the two that receive the most votes." Xu Yi suggested, thinking it was a fair method.
"I vote for the Enhancement Agent and Star Chart." Qin Fan handed over his Red Lotus Flying Arrow and voted.
"Enhancement Agent, Star Chart." Lu Yao also voted and let a Red Lotus Arrow fly towards Number 6.
The six who had a spare Red Lotus Arrow all chose the Enhancement Agent and Star Chart because these two items could benefit everyone. The others could only be used individually.
"Alright, we have the results." Xu Yi chose the same, with all seven votes for the same items, making it unnecessary for anyone else to vote.
"Number 6, will this Enhancement Agent have any side effects on us?" Xu Yi asked a bit worriedly after receiving the box of Enhancement Agents and the Star Chart.
"No, the worst-case scenario is reduced effectiveness, with no side effects. Rest assured." Number 6 stated honestly.
"By the way, didn’t you say the Star Chart’s space was only 0.5? Why is this 1.5?" Xu Yi asked quickly after getting his question answered.
"Star Charts can mutate during production, resulting in different sized spirit-level spaces. Very rare. Don’t you have a spirit-level one in your hand? Your choice was very wise." Number 6 actually hoped they would choose something else, as the Star Chart was the most valuable of all the items.
Xu Yi was slightly startled. He naturally knew why Number 6 mentioned he had a spirit-level Star Chart. They must have noticed the storage capacity exceeded 0.5 cubic.
This way, he could now use his System Space with peace of mind.
Now, Xu Yi was curious about the important message Number 6 promised to give him.
