Life Dungeon Game

He Ao glanced at Li Cheng's ear, then raised his cup again, "You can discuss it."

For martial artists, the extraordinary power in food can be directly digested and absorbed.

"We do have a lot of these things in our warehouse, but what does he intend to do with them?"

Rudolf's voice rang in Li Cheng's ears.

"He has acquired a lot of knowledge that we do not know, and may know some valuable materials that we do not recognize."

A weak voice came through the call channel; it was Moonlight, a B-rank who had been injured by Li Cheng earlier.

“Regardless of its value, if we don’t know how to use it, it’s no different from ordinary, useless materials. Moreover, our materials may not even contain any truly valuable ones. For him, it’s actually a gamble.”

Liu Zhengyun pondered for a moment, then slowly said,

"Old Li, I think it's feasible to exchange things that are useless to us for a spot in the ruins passage. Those materials require special structures for storage, and they consume a lot of management and storage costs every year."

"I have no opinion."

Moonlight, in its weak B-rank state, said...

“Then I have no objection,” Jodel paused for a moment. “What about intelligence? Are you willing to share intelligence with him? What he wants is access, not a backup of the intelligence. In other words, he can see our latest results at any time.”

"I have no opinion."

Moonlight, a B-rank, said calmly.

Jodel fell into a brief silence.

It's not that Moonlight completely trusts 'Hao Yi', but rather that Moonlight can't afford to offend a powerful B-rank right now. Therefore, for Moonlight, any information that isn't core can be shared.

"We can do that too."

During the time that Rudolf was silent, Liu Zhengyun slowly spoke.

A soft inhale came from Rudol's direction; it seemed he had opened his mouth but was deep in thought. Finally, he said, "Alright, we have no objections."

"Have you discussed it?"

He asked softly.

"Okay, we agree to your terms,"

Li Cheng nodded and looked at He Ao, "How will the spots be allocated?"

"Whoever offers the most, I'll stand with them, and they'll have more spots."

He Ao shrugged.

In any case, the research institute is most likely the richest and most willing to spend money.

Then he looked at Li Cheng and pointed to Li Cheng's ear.

Li Cheng glanced at He Ao with a puzzled look, then reached out and took the earphone out of his ear, shattering it with a flash of electricity from his fingertips.

Then he took out his satellite phone, which he used to contact other people, and turned it off.

"Alright, now that we've covered that, let's talk about our deal."

He Ao looked at Li Cheng with a smile.

He raised his hand, and the entire carriage was suddenly shrouded in shadow.

Chapter 608 Knowledge and Angel-Level Extraordinary Items (Mega Chapter, Seeking Monthly Comments)

Li Cheng raised his head and looked up. The car roof, which was originally as tall as a dome, was now shrouded in a dark shadow that seemed to devour everything.

"This is?"

Li Cheng looked at He Ao, whose brows seemed to be faintly flashing with electricity.

"I heard you possess an angel-level extraordinary item?"

He Ao stared at Li Cheng.

During the earlier struggle for the Verola, Moonlight's Sloan was trying to seize the Verola and ambushed Liu Zhengyun, while Li Cheng led another B-rank researcher from the research institute to the Tia Empire to steal Moonlight's hometown.

He later went to the scene in the Verola and estimated that they were probably fighting over an A-grade extraordinary item.

However, this is top secret for the research institute. Even Yang De probably doesn't know about Li Cheng and his team's plan.

Moonlight didn't publicize the matter, and even joined forces with the research institute to suppress all the leaked details. However, those who are interested can still deduce the truth from some details.

"Indeed, there is."

Li Cheng lowered his head, his hand gripping the handle of the stirring spoon, staring at He Ao. An invisible aura emanated from him, countering the shadows that were beginning to creep in from all directions of the carriage. "Is there anything I can do to help you?"

"one little thing."

A jet-black sword hilt emerged from the shadows on the roof of the car, followed by a jet-black blade that seemed to devour light like an abyss. The sword was pulled from the inky shadows and was almost invisible, making it difficult for Li Cheng to distinguish it with the naked eye.

The jet-black slender sword slowly emerged from the roof of the car, eventually detaching completely and falling into He Ao's outstretched palm.

In that instant, a twisted and terrifying shadow exploded throughout the space, and endless mad murmurs echoed in He Ao and Li Cheng's ears.

The shadow-like radiance emanated from the slender blade, passed through the transparent viewing window, and disappeared into the pristine lake surface.

The calm lake surface suddenly became violently disturbed. The next second, a large fish leaped out from beneath the water. Its smooth scales transformed into hard armor at a speed visible to the naked eye, and sharp fangs began to grow from its enormous mouth.

He Ao slowly withdrew his hand, holding the black slender sword horizontally in front of his chest. His index finger gripped the hilt and gave it a light tap. A black shadow of light was guided out from the blade, passing through the invisible car window and slicing across the body of the giant fish that was mutating in mid-air.

Like an invisible, sharp blade, it sliced ​​through that enormous body.

Bright red blood fell like rain, splashing onto the white reflection of the snow-capped mountains on the lake's surface.

"I might need your people to come and tidy up this place later."

He Ao smiled as he looked at Li Cheng.

This is also why he chose a deserted scenic area.

"This is?"

Li Cheng looked down at the black slender sword in He Ao's hand.

The moment he gazed at the sword, the murmurs that had been echoing in his mind erupted again like accumulating flames, assaulting his consciousness. In that extremely short time, his mind went completely blank.

However, he quickly regained control of his mind. To have come this far, his mental stability was beyond what ordinary people could match.

"The Mysterious Shadow Merged with the Sword"

sub-body,"

"This is the 'truth' about Ellen's coma," He said calmly.

During the final ritual of the Mysterious Shadow's Descent, He Ao infused all the power of the Mysterious Shadow's Descent into the Shadowless Sword in his hand.

In the end, although his body was not corrupted, the Shadowless Sword, which carried the power of the Mysterious Shadow, became another kind of extraordinary object that was almost uncontrollable.

This sword had been suppressed and sealed within the Verola by him using the power of the Verola.

After returning from the instance world, He Ao worked through the night to inscribe the control array he had learned from the instance world onto the sword.

However, due to the power of that riotous mysterious shadow, the magic array engraved on the sword was very unstable and had to be reinforced every one or two hours.

Moreover, this cannot truly control the sword; it can only mobilize some of the scattered power and suppress most of the restless shadows.

If Li Cheng had entered the Verola before inscribing the control array, he wouldn't have seen such a normal scene; the entire train would have been filled with uncontrollable shadows.

"A mysterious shadow?"

Li Cheng shifted his gaze from the rapier in He Ao's hand, seemingly puzzled as to who He Ao was referring to.

“A god,” Heo said calmly, “of course, you can also call him an evil god.”

"Evil God?"

Li Cheng's eyes opened slightly, and his pupils contracted.

"Let's talk about our 'deal' first."

He placed the corrupted Shadowless Sword on the table. The power emanating from the Verola began to try to suppress the sword, and the shadowy aura emanating from it contracted slightly.

“I need you to use the power of that angelic-level supernatural artifact to ‘forge’ this sword, destroy the uncontrolled impurities on it, and compress its core power into the blade. This process may be dangerous and could attract the attention of evil gods, so the forging process needs to be completed under my watchful eye and near this vehicle.”

In other words, the hidden angel-level extraordinary item will be 'exposed' to He Ao.

What can we get in return?

Li Cheng looked at He Ao.

"Knowledge."

He Ao spoke calmly, “Knowledge about the extraordinary.”

Li Cheng paused, staring at He Ao.

He smiled back at him.

Knowledge seems the simplest, but it is also the most difficult.

The simple point is that once you know it, you can easily repeat it.

The difficulty lies in the fact that some key points are not understood, and some things are incomprehensible. This may be in a moment, or it may take a lifetime, a century, or even forever to understand.

Therefore, exchanging knowledge for help is a 'reasonable' thing, especially in this extraordinary world where knowledge itself represents extraordinary power.

Li Cheng was eager to learn some knowledge from He Ao.

The premise is that the knowledge He Ao provides is 'real'.

For someone who was unaware of this knowledge beforehand, they would not know whether it was true or false until the moment it was verified.

In other words, it is possible to cheat when trading knowledge.

Li Cheng's task of stabilizing the rapier required Hao Yi's supervision. Given the unknown nature of the creature, Li Cheng had no way to safely leave any backup plans in front of it.

Furthermore, this transaction would expose the research institute's angel-level supernatural items. If the other party's goal was not to stabilize the rapier but to seize the angel-level supernatural items in his possession, then he might be walking into the lion's den.

This is an unfair deal.

The other party can give him false knowledge, but he has no effective means to counter it.

The silence lingered for a long time.
