Having said this, Luo Xinming immediately extended two fingers and stated his own conditions, or rather Tianta City's conditions, under Yu Yuan's attentive expression:
"First, Tianyu City will now be under the jurisdiction of Tianta City... Of course, this doesn't mean we will interfere with the operation of Tianyu City, nor will we ask Tianyu City to pledge allegiance. We will simply establish a class relationship similar to that of a laborer. For any commissions issued by Tianyu City, we will also pay a certain amount of compensation!"
Simply put, it means that Tianyu City will work for Tianta City or something like that... This is the condition that Luo Xinming proposed in exchange for giving up the ruined castle. However, Yu Yuan did not respond immediately. Instead, he thought for a while before speaking.
"Jurisdiction...? What about the second condition?"
To be honest, it doesn’t matter to Yu Yuan whether he agrees to the first condition or not. After all, if it’s just employment... Tianyu City is already doing this kind of thing, so it’s no big deal. At most, the employment contract needs to be discussed later. And although there is the matter of Nalisa, it won’t be a bad thing for Tianta City itself if it cooperates!
With the intention of going back to discuss it with Yu and the others, Yu Yuan asked for the second condition. Luo Xinming did not hesitate to say the second condition. Compared with the previous condition, it was more like a small personal grudge:
"Donate the ten Humagia units you brought to Tianta City. Of course, as compensation, we will provide the resources needed to manufacture these ten units. This is... the second condition!"
191. I bought it!
(It’s not okay if it’s too saintly, but it’s also not okay if it’s not saintly… I really don’t know how to serve you, alas~~)
The person who proposed this condition was undoubtedly from the Slan family. Even Luo Xinming could not completely ignore this family, which was extremely important even in Tianta City. Not to mention that Nalisa was injured so badly this time. If some price was not paid to appease the anger of the Slan family, then this matter would definitely not be let go.
In Luo Xinming's view, the price of just a few robots, and even the prospect of receiving sufficient compensation, was more of a sign of reconciliation than a condition. Therefore, the key to this cooperation lay in the first condition from the beginning, and the second was undoubtedly just an additional condition. So since Yu Yuan didn't refuse the first one, then the second one...
"Sorry, I refuse!" (Daga, oral waru!)
"Ugh?"
Rejection means... He slightly opened his eyes and looked at Yu Yuan in disbelief. His expression suddenly became firm, and he had completely lost his previous state of thinking. Luo Xinming blinked in confusion and looked at him. In return, he got Yu Yuan's answer without hesitation:
"Do you think... is it possible for me to sell out my own 'people' in exchange for cooperation?"
The machine named Xumagia is a mechanical life form, not a robot. This is very important, so it needs to be strictly divided. In a sense, if they are a race, then Yu Yuan is undoubtedly the pinnacle of this race, similar to the existence of a patriarch. After all, her body is also made according to the Xumagia, so it is not an exaggeration to say that Xiaoyi and others are her own people.
"This……"
This statement about the tribesmen was obviously something Luo Xinming hadn't expected, so he was stunned for a moment. It took him a while to react. Then, as if he had thought of something, he stared at Yu Yuan in front of him with wide eyes...
"Wait, wait, wait... Wait a minute, your tribe's words mean that you're at least from the same tribe as those Mecha... Shumagia. Which means... How is that possible?!"
At this point, even Luo Xinming couldn't remain calm. He stood up suddenly and looked at the expressionless Yu Yuan in disbelief. If what the other party said was exactly what he understood, then wouldn't it mean that the person sitting in front of him, the one who had been discussing cooperation with him from beginning to end, was actually...
"Yes, in a sense, I am also a Shumagia!"
A faint flash of data flashed across his pale red eyes. While Luo Xinming clearly caught it, Yu Yuan said to him in a calm tone:
"So, to sum up, regarding your cooperation... I refuse. Of course, as a member of the Ruins World, Tianyu City will not be absent from the cooperation regarding the alliance, so you can rest assured!"
Having said this, Yu Yuan did not speak again. His attitude was obvious that since he had finished speaking, it was time for the other party to leave.
"..."
Faced with this scene, the original atmosphere of the negotiation seemed to disappear in an instant. Luo Xinming looked at Yu Yuan with his eyes open for a long time, and then narrowed his eyes again.
"Oh my, oh my~~ I really didn't expect it... It would actually be like this, really..."
After uttering such a meaningless laugh for a long time, Luo Xinming finally said to Yu Yuan softly with a hint of apology:
"If that's the case, then my offer was extremely rude. I apologize. I'll go back and discuss this with my companions. I hope it won't cause you any ill will. As for cooperation... I'll come back again!"
Despite saying such an apologetic words, Yu Yuan nodded indifferently:
"what ever!"
Thus, a brief negotiation came to an end. Luo Xinming also stood up and prepared to say goodbye, but at this moment, as if he had suddenly received some information, Yu Yuan suddenly spoke up and stopped him:
"By the way, putting aside the cooperation you proposed, I do have a deal I'd like to discuss with you. I wonder if Rat Tower Master... is interested?"
The sudden proposal of cooperation obviously made Luo Xinming unable to react for a while. He could obviously see that Yu Yuan hated him, and it was understandable that he had no good feelings towards Tianta City. However, in this situation, the other party actually took the initiative to approach him and propose cooperation... It was obviously a bit unbelievable.
"Of course I'm interested. Miss Yuyuan is willing to take the initiative to propose cooperation, which is something I couldn't ask for more!"
Speaking with such sincere words, I don't know if it was an illusion, but I always felt that after knowing that I was Xu Magia, it seemed that Luo Xinming's original interest in Xiao Yi and others was instantly transferred to myself. Although that gaze was the same as before, it inexplicably made Yu Yuan feel a kind of... fanaticism... Well, a very annoying feeling!
"Well, if that's the case then it's easy to say..."
However, the feeling is the feeling. For the sake of the subsequent 'transaction', Yu Yuan naturally would not express it. Instead, he nodded and said immediately:
"In that case, let's first talk about our 'trading items'!"
Although he said so, Yu Yuan had no intention of taking out any real objects. Instead, he slid his fingers and a beam of light appeared in front of him. Then, a mass-produced belt slowly emerged on the light curtain, along with various data of the warrior who transformed into Kamen Rider.
"This is... Kamen Rider?"
The Kamen Rider system mentioned in the intelligence is the main reason for the cooperation between Luo Liao and Tianyu City. It was once believed by the top leaders of Tianta City to be a mysterious technological power unearthed from the ruins of the city. Even Skynet has been unable to analyze its existence!
When he saw the entity of the belt in front of him and the various data, even Luo Xinming couldn't help but focus his eyes on it. However, as he looked at the data more clearly, the light in his eyes became stronger and stronger.
It was not until a long time later that a slightly surprised voice came out of his mouth:
"A miraculous skill, a miraculous skill! This thing is... a powerful battle armor designed specifically for those with special abilities!"
With such an exclamation, his eyes fixed on Yu Yuan the next second, and he said with unprecedented solemnity:
"How much does Tianyu City plan to sell this belt for? What's the price... Never mind, no matter what the price, I'll buy it from Tianta City!"
192. Two conditions
People with superpowers are born with strong mental power and can use all kinds of superpowers. If their mental power breaks through a certain limit, even moving mountains and filling the sea as described in books, which are like god-like actions, are completely possible.
However, you must know that God is fair. As a person with superpowers who can exercise such powerful abilities, if there is a biggest shortcoming, it is undoubtedly the most important thing about being human: being a mortal!
The physical body will always be an insurmountable barrier blocking the way of human evolution. Although scientists in Tianta City have been continuously researching various body, gene, muscle and other improvement drugs and methods for thousands of years according to the needs of people with special abilities, the actual gains are very few. Either the materials are too precious to be mass-produced or the desired effects cannot be achieved.
Because of this, physical deficiency has always been a major shortcoming of psychics. Except for some psychics with enhanced bodies, basically few psychics will engage in close combat with their opponents. Most of them fight with long-range methods like magicians in the Demon Realm.
Or perhaps it should be said that there is always a way out?
It was in this situation that since it was impossible to strengthen the human body, one had to rely on external assistance... Such a proposal was put forward at the meeting one day, and since then, the existence of mechanics and technicians was born!
The various mechanical devices made by the mechanical people can enhance the kinetic energy of the human body, and can also produce various equipment to assist the psychics. It is not a big problem for them to even become close combat masters.
On this basis, technicians have specially created mechas for people with special abilities that can amplify and increase the explosiveness of their special abilities. There are large, medium and small mechas that are fully equipped according to each person's characteristics. At the same time, they are also equipped with various thermal weapons to cooperate with the release of special abilities, so as to achieve more effective application and powerful combat effectiveness.
Therefore, in Tianta City, mecha also means another existence for people with special abilities: a second life!
For a psychic with a weak body but strong mental strength, owning a sturdy mecha is undoubtedly the best protection for himself, just like a hedgehog uses its spiky shell to protect itself!
Therefore, mechas are undoubtedly very popular in Tianta City and are also the focus of Tianta City's research.
As for the mecha produced by the Kamen Rider system... it didn't seem to attract much attention when it first appeared at the Freshman Festival. After all, because mechas were popular in Tianta City, many forces in the ruins, except for the Demon Realm, followed suit and imitated and studied them. Therefore, this thing was simply too common.
Even Luo Xinming obviously thought so at the beginning... The mechas manufactured by Tianyu City are too good. Can they be compared with the research of Tianta City for thousands of years?
This kind of thinking has been completely ended today, at this moment!
With a mass-produced mecha, even ordinary people can exert tons of strength, and its speed is comparable to that of a cheetah. If this is placed on a psychic and combined with superpowers, it can undoubtedly no longer be said to be an amplification, but a true evolution!
Just how many psychics are there in Tianta City? It's safe to say that everyone is a soldier. The reason Tianta City hasn't reached its "ambitions" is entirely due to the high cost of mechas and the varying adaptability of each individual. This, coupled with resource shortages, means that mechas aren't readily available to every psychic.
These reasons have undoubtedly restricted the development of Tianta City, prompting Tianta City to continue excavating various relics over the years. On the one hand, it is to obtain resources, and on the other hand, it is to obtain various technical concepts for the design of new armor, etc.
The belt style that Yu Yuan took out undoubtedly gave Luo Xinming hope, the hope of realizing a certain "ambition" of Tianta City... Imagine if every member of the superpower army in Tianta City could be equipped with such an armor, what would the result be?
That obviously cannot be described as horrible!
That's right. Luo Xinming undoubtedly saw the value of this armor at first sight. The mass-produced type... even far surpassed the value of the unique type in strategic significance. That's why he said the previous sentence in a decisive tone without thinking:
Buy it! Must buy it! No matter the price, even if it means giving up all the demands made by the Slan family or even eliminating them to ease the conflict between the two sides, it's no problem. As long as this belt... must be obtained!
Obviously, the temptation of the belt surpassed the status of the Slan family in Luo Xinming's heart. At this moment, on the scale of the two sides... he chose Tianyu City and gave up the Slan family!
"How many of these belts do we have? We in Tianta City are ready to buy them all. Don't worry about the price. We will give you a reasonable and perfect price. You will definitely not be disappointed!"
Luo Xinming said these words without any need for explanation, and his eyes were so full of passion that it was unclear whether it was directed at the belt or at the other person.
However, Yu Yuan resolutely ignored this and said in a calm tone:
"Of course, since you've proposed a cooperation, I'm not kidding. The price of the belt has already been clearly discussed with Luo Luo long before, so there's no need to increase it!"
Although the other party's demand for the belt was obviously beyond his imagination, and he would obviously agree even if he raised the price, Yu Yuan's purpose was obviously not there, so...
"……condition!"
Before Yu Yuan could speak, Luo Xinming had already said this in a calm tone:
"For such cooperation, what additional conditions does Tianyu City have?"
I can see it at a glance. Selling such a precious belt to Tianta City, and having clearly discovered how much I value it but having no intention of raising the price, anyone who is not a fool can obviously see at a glance that the other party has other purposes, and this purpose is... the kind that Tianta City can achieve!
"It's very simple. One person... after deducting the necessary belt-making resources and compensation, we in Tianyu City are only planning to ask your Tianta City for one person. Of course, such matters adhere to the principle of freedom and are entirely voluntary. If the other party is unwilling, then this condition... just ignore what I said!"
Such a huge convenience... or had they already reached a secret agreement? That's why he was so confident, and that person... thinking back to the people in Tianta City who might have had too much contact with Tianyu City, there were undoubtedly only two: Nalisha and Luo Luo!
It was impossible for Nalisa. After all, the other party said that it had to be voluntary. Unless Nalisa's brain was pinched by the elevator, there was no way she would agree to such a condition that was undoubtedly seeking death. So the final answer could only be one, that is...
"Luo Lance...?"
193. Warning, Advice
"Then regarding this point... let's cooperate happily!"
"Well, I also hope to cooperate with a force with unlimited potential like Tianyu City. This will definitely make the Sky Tower even better in the future!"
The hands, one big and one small, were gently clasped together. Before Luo Xinming could feel the softness of the palm, Yu Yuan had already let go of it lightly. The communication between the two ended here. With no topic left, Luo Xinming naturally had no reason to stay here, so he nodded at Yu Yuan and left.
From beginning to end, there was no mention of Nalisa's injury. Obviously, compared with the profits that Tianyu City could bring, just one word from Nalisa... Luo Xinming decisively chose the former!
"so……"
Watching the other party slowly leave until he merged with his own 'men' and then left Luo Xinming's figure, Yu Yuan immediately said as if muttering to himself:
"You must have heard everything, right?"
It sounded like she was talking to herself, but the meaning of her words was clearly that she was communicating with someone. Not long after Yu Yuan finished speaking, a voice suddenly flashed through her mind:
"Ah~~ I heard it clearly!"
That was Luo Luo's voice, but for some reason it sounded a little... weird?
"Although I already knew that Sky Tower's current strongest being, 'Rat' Luo Xinming, was someone who prioritized profit over everything else, but when I actually heard it... it was still a little hard to accept!"
He spoke in a tone that was slightly complicated. After all, as the master of the Weiyang Pagoda, not to mention how significant his role was to Sky City, just considering the contributions he had made over the years, it was no exaggeration to call him a meritorious official. However, this person was nothing more than a thing that could be thrown away at will in the face of the benefits that were about to be obtained...
"Why? Are you still dissatisfied with your current treatment?"
He was directly promoted from an unknown person to the level of a core cadre, became a patroller, shared the secrets of the system and the plane, and had the full power to communicate freely through the system. The most important thing was that under the premise of all the above conveniences, Tianyu City itself did not have those rules and regulations, and there was no restriction on Luo Luo except that he was not allowed to betray.
With such convenience, compared to the other party’s treatment in the Sky Tower... it’s simply the best!
And this...
"Of course I'm very aware of this, so I'm definitely not dissatisfied with anything, but if I were to complain... I do have a few!"
After all, even though I said I didn't care much, it was obviously impossible to really not care. After all, this was...
"Ahem~~ The Sky Tower deal ends here for now. At least Luo Xinming and the others shouldn't cause us any trouble in the short term!"
Turning his head slightly, he ignored Luo Luo's complaints about "changing the subject so abruptly" on the other side of the conversation, but Yu Yuan immediately changed the subject and said:
"Of course, that's limited to not causing any trouble for 'us'. So, Luo Luo, is it okay on your side?"
They seemed to be discussing something very mysterious, but Luo Luo nodded slightly, and a bright smile suddenly appeared on his face:
"Ah~~ Don't worry, I'm already mentally prepared!"
Having said this, Yu Yuan also nodded:
"Well~~ As long as you have an idea in mind, it's fine. Anyway, Zeya is here to help you at any time, so... just do whatever you want!"
He said this in a nonchalant tone, with a hint of "Tianyu City has you covered, go as you please" in his words. This immediately made Luo Luo on the other end of the line smile brightly, and then...
"Ah~~ Monster!"
Well, this is the complaint from Yu on the other end of the communication. Although Yu Yuan heard it and could guess the reason why the other party said that, but precisely because of this... just ignore it, just ignore it!
The communication with Luo Luo was temporarily disconnected, and Yu Yuan immediately looked into the distance again. Beyond the endless desert and the countless groups of strange beasts, behind him was the center of the ruins, and also... the location of Yu Huan!
"I don't know what you're doing, sister, but... wait for me, we'll come find you soon!"
Yu Yuan muttered to himself and fell into deep thought without saying anything.
Beside him, Xiaoyi and others had returned silently, and at the same time they were guarding Yuyuan silently without saying a word.
