"Of course it's bedrock. Bedrock is indestructible. What could be more solid than it?"

However, after answering Jade's question, Xing He looked at her with some confusion: "Why did you suddenly ask this?"

Emerald was somewhat excited, not expecting to get the information the Amber King wanted so quickly. She hurriedly asked, "Where can I find this so-called bedrock?"

However, as soon as she finished asking the question, Emerald realized that her words were somewhat inappropriate and quickly apologized to Xing He.

"I apologize, Director Xing He. I was too hasty. It was Amber King who instructed us to trade with you for a substance that could be used as building material."

"Amber King?" Himeko, standing nearby, was somewhat surprised upon hearing this. "[Guardian] actually gave you orders personally? Unbelievable."

Jade nodded in agreement: "To be honest, even we find it incredible. Of the Star Gods we know, apart from [Exploration] and [Joy] who are willing to take the initiative to contact mortals, the other Star Gods have always been focused on their own affairs and never take the initiative to contact mortals. That's why the company is paying special attention to this matter. Mr. Xing He, please forgive us."

Xing He couldn't help but be curious when he heard this. He knew too little about the Star Gods. The Star God he had more contact with was Aha, the one who was always looking for fun and always stayed by his side.

Xing He had only heard rumors about the other Star Gods, including [Pioneer] Akivili.

"What does the Amber King need these building materials for?"

"As you know, the Amber King's destiny is [preservation], and He has been building walls for who knows how long in the future to protect against the calamities that will come at some point in the future. The substance He has asked us to find is also for building walls."

"Oh, so you're a civil engineering guy." Xing He couldn't help but chuckle after hearing this, not expecting that the Star Gods were doing such down-to-earth things.

[Exploration] is the guy who's all over the universe, [Joy] is a fun-loving person, and [Preservation] is a civil engineering guy.

When Jade saw Xing He criticizing Amber King, she wanted to correct him, but remembering that she still needed his help, she could only smile awkwardly from the side.

After complaining for a while, Xing He didn't forget to tell Emerald about bedrock. Anyway, bedrock wasn't worth much money, and they couldn't get their hands on it even if they wanted to.

"The bedrock you want isn't precious; it's everywhere."

"Everywhere?" Emerald's eyes widened. According to Xing He, bedrock is indestructible, so such a precious material should be rare. Why is it so common?

Xing He pointed to the ground beneath everyone's feet: "If you keep digging down this soil, you'll soon see the bedrock."

Upon hearing Xing He's words, everyone couldn't help but feel a surge of curiosity.

After all, that's an indestructible substance!

In the entire universe, no one can definitively say that there is anything that cannot be destroyed!

Even the high walls built by [the Guardian] were breached by Akivili's Star Train!

Himeko and the others' curiosity about the Naga was immediately overshadowed by the bedrock.

March 7th excitedly urged from the side, "Xing He, then hurry up and take us down to take a look!"

"alright."

Xing He pulled out a shovel and a pickaxe, and started a chain reaction of destruction on the soil beneath their feet. The moment he swung the shovel, a muffled thud was heard, and the soil beneath everyone's feet suddenly disappeared.

March 7th cried out in surprise, then was pulled downwards by gravity, but fortunately Xing He caught her in his arms and prevented her from falling.

Walter and Himeko reacted quickly, immediately using the Gale Ring given to them by Xing He to fly into the air. Himeko also grabbed Emerald's arm to prevent her from falling.

With one arm around March 7, Xing He controlled his body to land on the rock layer beneath the soil, then took out a pickaxe and struck it.

Each strike by Xing He caused the rock layer below them to disappear several meters. After this was repeated several times, they saw a flat 'rock layer' that looked like it was made up of black and gray pixels.

"This is the bedrock layer."

Xing He carried San Yueqi and landed on the bedrock, then released San Yueqi to let him stand firmly on the bedrock.

Walter, Himeko, and Emerald also landed on the bedrock one after another. As soon as Himeko released Emerald, Emerald couldn't wait to take out her long whip and lashed it fiercely at the bedrock.

The whip cracked as it struck the bedrock. When Jade pulled the whip back, she was surprised to find that the end of the whip had broken off. In contrast, the bedrock was completely intact. Not only was there not a single crack, but not even a trace of white mark could be found on it!

"Is it really impossible to destroy?" Jade was both surprised and delighted.

Walter adjusted his glasses and said, "While I'm willing to believe what Xiao Xinghe says, practice makes perfect."

"Let me try and see if this power, strong enough to shatter stars, can damage the bedrock!"

Chapter 156 Only the Mechanical Monster Can Surpass the Numerical Monster (Fourth Update)

Walter gripped his cane tightly and first gestured for Xing He to lead Himeko and the others to step back to a safe distance.

Xing He didn't stop Walter from trying it out of sheer stubbornness, since only in this way could everyone have a more direct understanding of bedrock.

Xing He led San Yueqi, Ji Zi, and Fei Cui back a few steps, then took out his Flame Spear and held it horizontally in front of him to prevent Walter's attack from hurting San Yueqi and the others.

Seeing that Xing He and the others were ready, Walter pushed his cane forward on the ground and gave a command.

A pseudo-black hole emitting a faint golden glow is rapidly forming and expanding at an extremely fast pace.

In just a moment, the simulated black hole rapidly expanded to three meters under Walter's control. The terrifying gravity it emitted pulled March 7, Himeko, and Emerald towards it. Fortunately, they managed to grab Xing He, who was standing still, or they might have been sucked into the simulated black hole.

Even so, Walter noticed that the bedrock layer was completely undamaged, and Walter's competitive spirit was long overdue, so he kept increasing the output of the simulated black hole.

Even as his face turned red and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, he couldn't budge the bedrock an inch.

Finally, Walter reluctantly deactivated the simulated black hole, and the three women behind him, including Himeko, got off Xing He.

Emerald immediately stepped forward to take a look, and indeed, the bedrock beneath their feet was completely undamaged.

Walter sighed. "At least with my abilities, I can't leave any mark on this bedrock. Lady Emerald, would you like to give it a try?"

Emerald shook her head. The move Walter had just displayed was no different from her own all-out attack, and even she would only get the same result.

Similarly, a question involuntarily arose in their minds: normally the world is a sphere, and the very center of each planet is the Earth's core, but the layer where this bedrock is located is clearly wrong; it's too high.

Logically, if this bedrock layer were located on another planet, it would still be rock, at least a long distance from the Earth's core. So why is it in this layer? Is there some harder material underneath it?

March 7th, who had been puzzled by this, was the first to raise the question.

"Xing He, since the bedrock is so hard, is there something even more powerful underneath it?"

Xing He shook his head: "There's nothing below it. Below the bedrock is emptiness, nothingness. If you really want to talk about it, the bedrock exists to protect people from falling into that emptiness."

"Void? Nothingness?"

Emerald looked at Xing He in surprise. It was obvious that Director Xing He had created this time. According to him, these bedrocks were used to resist the [nothingness].

No wonder the bedrock was able to withstand the simulated black hole released by Mr. Walter!

The [Void] itself is a giant black hole. This bedrock can even withstand the [Void], let alone Walter's pseudo-black hole!

The group instantly understood everything, realizing why this bedrock could withstand even a black hole.

Unable to contain her curiosity, Jade turned to Xing He and asked, "Mr. Xing He, just how hard is this bedrock?"

"Hardness?" Xing He recalled the bedrock setting in Minecraft, and his expression immediately became a bit strange: "The hardness of bedrock is -1, while the hardness of soil is 0.5."

"what?"

For a moment, Emerald and the others thought Xing He was joking with them. How could soil that even a child could dig with their hands possibly be far harder than bedrock that even a black hole couldn't destroy?

If what Director Xing He said is true, then why not just have Amber King build the wall with mud? After all, mud is harder than bedrock!

Xing He was also helpless, after all, this was the way things were set up, and even he couldn't change it.

"However, although the hardness of bedrock is -1, it is indeed impossible to destroy it by conventional means, which perfectly meets the needs of the Amber King."

"Conventional methods?" Emerald paused for a moment, then her eyes lit up as she leaned closer to Xing He: "Mr. Xing He, does that mean you have a way to break the bedrock?"

Xing He smiled and nodded: "If we can't beat the numerical monsters, we can become the mechanism monsters."

"real?!"

Emerald was thrilled. If she could obtain the bedrock, the strategic investment department would have a much higher status in the company than the market investment department!

Just by fulfilling the Amber King's request, they can gain endless benefits!

Even Jade, who was used to grand occasions, couldn't help but swallow hard at this moment, and her voice trembled slightly.

"Then, Director Xing He, you..."

Xing He raised his hand to stop him: "Don't talk about camaraderie, offer some benefits."

Emerald breathed a sigh of relief when she heard that Xing He wanted benefits; she was really worried that Xing He wouldn't want anything!

Need money? The company is so poor all it has left is money!

"Mr. Xing He, please set any conditions you may have. As long as it is within our capabilities, we will fulfill them all!"

"Ah."

Xing He was very satisfied with Jade's attitude: "Then tell me how much bedrock you need."

As long as the quantity isn't too outrageous and the other party can offer sufficient benefits, Xing He naturally wouldn't mind becoming a bedrock destroyer.

Jade looked down at the surrounding stones. It seemed that all the minerals created by Director Xing He were one cubic meter in size, so these bedrock rocks must have also been divided into one cubic meter sizes.

"Hmm, the wall built by Lord Amber King is quite vast, it must be at least hundreds of millions of bedrock, right?"

"Take the young master?!"

Xing He glared angrily. He had never dug so many blocks in his life. Who did Amber King think he was, to expect him to dig so many blocks?!

"Sorry, the deal is canceled. I won't do it for any amount of money. Even if you give me the whole company, I still won't go after so much bedrock."

For Xing He, money was just a number representing EMC values; there were so many fun mods waiting for him to experience in the mod store.

He doesn't need to grind bedrock his whole life for some money or something precious.

"Huh?" The sudden cancellation of the deal left Emerald dumbfounded: "Director Xing He... how about we ask for less? Fifty million, is that okay?"

Fifty million bedrock blocks would be enough for the Amber King to build a small wall to test its strength.

Xing He shook his head again: "At most one, don't even think about more. You think bedrock is easy to get? Otherwise, go and have the company's fleet come and bomb it. If you can get even one bedrock, I'll admit defeat!"

"this..."

Although Xinghe said he wanted her to bring her fleet to test its strength, how could Fei Cui dare to let the fleet destroy the world that Xinghe had created?

Not everything in this world is as solid as bedrock. If she were to destroy the world created by Director Xing He, wouldn't she be offending him terribly?

We might not be able to get the bedrock by then, and we might even offend Director Xing He. Wouldn't that be a complete loss?

Left with no other choice, Jade had to compromise.
