Chapter 629 Priceless Treasure
finally.
Hope changed his mind and asked Zhou Qing and his group to provide 45,000 kilograms of hematite ore each.
This amount was still a bit outrageous for everyone, but Zhou Qing knew that this was the lowest price Hope could offer, so he stopped bargaining.
And the bunny girl——
Now I can only stay in this cave temporarily.
At least there's no danger.
However, at Zhou Qing's suggestion, Romantina also stayed in the cave temporarily.
There was no transaction, she was just asked to stay and look after the bunny girl so that Riko wouldn't worry too much and sneak over to trade with Hope when they weren't paying attention.
At the same time, he also hoped that Romantina could use her nervous system martial soul to sense the situation in the cave, so as to further control her martial soul after the second evolution.
after all--
This cave was created by Namichi's brain. She might be able to imitate and learn from its mysteries.
Romantina also gave her Phoenix Staff and Jade Silk to Mr. Watch, and paid another gold soul coin, hoping that he could refurbish them.
"The root of the Phoenix Wutong tree? You actually have such a good thing?" Mr. Watch carefully took the Phoenix Wutong Staff and the Jade Silk, and took away the gold soul coin, "The deal is done, I will definitely make a brand new staff for you!"
Then Mr. Watch ran out in a hurry.
Since the rule of "equivalent exchange" exists, Romantina doesn't worry that he will go back on his word.
Miss Zhong said goodbye to the two men, after all, they still had the duty of guarding the village gate.
With three people left, Zhou Qing prepared to find a place to rest first. After all, mining would not be completed in a day or two.
Dugu Bo can do anything.
Riko was still in a very low mood, but she also understood the current situation. She couldn't force Hope to trade her body organs, so she could only stay here temporarily and try to use other valuable things to exchange the bunny girl from Hope.
The Alarm Clock Gentleman decided to serve as a guide for everyone in the village.
Just as they walked back to the street, a group of men and women with alien bodies that did not resemble humans, some smooth and round, some cute and furry, surrounded them.
Maybe it's because Zhou Qing and the others look completely different from them...
Or maybe it was because of the vague memory of being a human being...
In short, these alien creatures, which have even forgotten human language and can only make sounds similar to those of ordinary animals, blocked the way of Zhou Qing and others.
"Chirp?"
“Gah—”
"Mahaha!"
The mutants seemed to have their own language, but even Riko couldn't understand it.
"Now how to do?"
Dugu Bo wanted to push away these stupid-looking mutants, but he was worried that the rules of this space would suddenly strip him of his organs.
“It’s a bit troublesome indeed…”
Looking at this large group of mutants, Zhou Qing didn't know what to do. Moreover, he didn't fully understand the further manifestation of the "equivalent exchange" rule, so he couldn't act rashly.
"Mr. Alarm Clock Gentleman, can you help me?" Riko asked the Alarm Clock Gentleman.
“That’s another value.”
What he meant was that he could introduce the specific situation of Nami Village and serve as a tour guide for them for free, but if they wanted to help, they would have to pay the value he wanted.
and--
"I am different from Waqu. He is a soul guide and is very interested in gold, a highly ductile metal. It is the material for making excellent soul guides. Its conductivity of electricity and soul power is far superior to other metals. Although soul crystals are better in conducting soul power, they cannot be made into conductive wires..." "That's a bit off topic... The value I need is you. For me, human beings themselves are the greatest embodiment of value, especially you two children, who have the greatest value."
"If you are willing to give you to me as value..."
Zhou Qing immediately refused: "I don't want to."
"Then there's nothing we can do." The alarm clock gentleman said no more. The pointer of the stopwatch on his face turned slowly, and he didn't care about the plight of Zhou Qing and others at all.
In this regard, Zhou Qing also guessed some of the purposes of the alarm clock gentleman.
Granted, they did know the Bunny Girl, but to the Gentleman Alarm Clock, they were strangers, and not even from Abyss.
Perhaps he wanted to use this to confirm whether they would pose a threat to the village... Of course, it is also possible that he simply wanted to determine what things on them had "value" so that he could trade them later.
So Zhou Qing took out some dry food from the gray bag and prepared to trade with these mutants - well, the flesh and blood of the mutants were not within the scope of his trading.
Seeing this, Dugu Bo and Li Ke also took out unnecessary things from their storage soul guides and backpacks and traded with these alienated entities.
These mutants are also very pure. They take out strange and bizarre things from the fat layer under their bodies or from their mouths.
A worn-out kerosene lamp, a bottle cap with a female head carved on it, an unknown fruit that was unripe but had been bitten, shriveled, and rotten...
In the hearts of these alienated entities, these things may have great value - commemorative significance.
From a material perspective, it can be summed up in two words:
Rubbish.
But at this time, Zhou Qing, Liko and Dugu Bo just wanted to get away from these alienated bodies as soon as possible, so they accepted them all and took them in for the time being.
At this moment, a round, furry pink mutant stretched out two long, round, fingerless arms and picked up the white flute hanging around Riko's neck.
"Wait, this isn't for sale..."
Before he could finish his words, the white flute was picked up by the alien creature and put into its mouth.
Click!
After one bite, the inverted triangle-shaped front teeth actually left a small gap on the white flute.
"give me back!"
Tears welled up in her eyes. Riko snatched the white flute from the pink mutant's mouth and held it in her arms, sobbing, "I'm sorry, Mithras, I didn't protect you!"
[I'm fine...]
Zhou Qing stopped greeting the other mutants, his ears moved slightly, as if he heard the voice of Mithras, and his eyes seemed to see Mithras standing behind Rico and comforting her.
In the blink of an eye, Mithras disappeared again.
"illusion?"
Zhou Qing caught a glimpse of the surprise on Dugu Bo's face from the corner of his eye, and realized that he had seen it too, but Riko and the other mutants seemed not to see it.
"What haha?"
The pink mutant showed a hint of doubt.
"This is a sculptor, but..."
The alarm clock gentleman spoke, but only halfway through his words, he asked Li Ke, "How much is this stone in your hand worth?"
"What Mithras transformed cannot be measured in value!"
Riko, who was hugging Bai Di tightly, couldn't help but shout in response to the alarm clock gentleman's question.
"Then it's over."
