Chapter 599 -436: Would you like to buy this small cave? _2
“Mr. Lu, the Underground Alliance requests further cooperation talks with your team,” the ambassador bowed slightly, removing his hat with great politeness.
“Oh? They have finally come!” His heart skipped a beat as he stood up, calling everyone in his team.
The group boarded the orbital train.
A few minutes later, they arrived at Central Park where the altar was located.
There were many soldiers guarding the area, who saluted them upon sight.
Days passed, and the Ancient Insect’s complexion seemed much better; its withered body turned slightly lustrous, and the stench of decay was gone.
The hundreds of meters long giant horns were standing tall, emitting a mysterious black halo.
This ancient anomaly clearly possessed strong life force. As soon as the root cause of the illness was addressed, it changed daily, seeming to have received a lot of Spirit Essence from the Underground Alliance.
[Human Civilization, indebted for the life-saving grace, has no means to repay. I hereby express my sincere gratitude.]
The voice of this aged creature, like a grand bell or a big cauldron, resonated in everyone’s mind with a buzzing echo.
“I wish I could acquire these giant horns, no matter their level,” the Greedy Demon God muttered greedily under his breath.
Of course, such a statement must never be spoken aloud… dignity must be afforded to this ancient insect.
“It is nothing, the Underground Alliance has already paid the medical bills.”
“Taking on a task on behalf of others, we must carry out our duties faithfully. That’s all there is to it,” Lu Yuan said hypocritically, clasping his hands, “Moreover, both of us have Gear Inheritance, and assisting each other wouldn’t be out of the question.”
“May our alliance between humans and the Underground Alliance last forever.”
“And I hope that we can all work together to survive in this world.”
The Ancient Insect was very satisfied with his speech and nodded gravely: [Human Civilization, we possess a fine item that we can offer you at a bargain price.]
[My dwelling, this small cave, would you care to purchase it?]
This was also a result of recent discussions by the Underground Alliance.
They really had nothing else to sell but desired numerous materials, thus they decided to simply sell this small cave.
The ancient insect had no objections.
It even considered handing over the [Immortal Palace] to Lu Yuan, seeing as both parties possessed Gear Inheritance, it seemed like fate—after all, it was now the Ninth Epoch, and perhaps the last time it was attacked by a [Ghost], this thing had been the cause of the trouble.
“Indeed, dear human friend, this is our consensus. What are your thoughts on this?” the leaders of the Underground Alliance replied with a smile.
The humans were incredibly surprised, feeling a surge of tremendous shock, and their hearts pounding loudly.
Even Lu Yuan did not expect them to offer this bargaining chip.
A… Grotto Heaven!
Irresistibly tempting!
[This grotto heaven, after prolonged nurturing, spans over 43,000 square kilometers and houses tens of millions of people.]
[The one in my hands is the ‘Upper Qiankun’, which is where the mind resides, and its interior area is only 3 square kilometers.]
[There is another Lower Qiankun, but it’s whereabouts are unknown, it might have been excavated during the Ancient Era. There are only three grotto heavens in this world, if you miss this village, there won’t be this shop.]
[As for the use of grotto heaven, besides living, its rules are special and can be used to cultivate some Extraordinary products. Do you know the origin of these mushrooms?]
“I’d like to hear more.”
New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.
[It’s because of the greed, anger, ignorance, arrogance, and doubt of the Ancient Demon, that they cannot be grown elsewhere.]
[This is a long-term benefit, I suppose its value goes without saying…]
Humans were indeed somewhat tempted on this side.
“Farmer No.1” created by Lu Yuan, has a small output every year. Once stabilized, an income of 2-5 Spirit Essences per year is still achievable.
And now with such a large grotto heaven available, how great could the output be?
If well planned, couldn’t it easily be a few hundred per year?
This already exceeds the output of Green Mountain, plus that of the coral island!
Professor Lu Tiantian excitedly said: “To plant Extraordinary Mushrooms, we still need the Insect Clan Army to secrete the insect glue…”
“Should we consider cloning 3D organs or something of the sort…”
Another insect expert shook his head: “It’s difficult, the insect race aren’t ordinary creatures, they are part of an anomaly. I heard that the Insect Clan cultivation by the Underground Alliance has not been successful, so the mushroom output has always been low.”
Once away from the Insect Nest, the Insects become extremely agitated, refuse to secrete insect glue, and there are even incidents of mass suicides.
Only the insects on the human side, as gifts from the Mother Worm,
and after being controlled by Lu Yuan, are relatively docile in nature, but since they can’t reproduce, the mushrooms they can maintain are actually limited.
The scientists considered the long-term perspective, in case humans also faced the situation of the Underground Alliance, then the value of this small grotto heaven would actually diminish somewhat.
“We also have some Civilization Points here. If the grotto heaven devours these points, it could expand significantly.”
“That’s not appropriate, Civilization Points are too precious, we better not use them lightly.”
“The current small grotto heaven can accommodate the Ancient Insect, and its size of 3 square kilometers is temporarily sufficient.”
Lu Yuan listened with a pounding heart, my friends, we haven’t even purchased it yet, how come you’ve already started discussing such matters?
“Gentlemen, the biggest issue now is, how much money do we offer? Don’t talk about other things.”
Lu Tian said: “We definitely can’t give Extraordinary Resources.”
“Because we are in a stage of population expansion, our wallets will continue to be tight in the future.”
“However, we could sell all our knowledge. Apart from sensitive knowledge, the sale of other knowledge should be harmless… Let’s sell everything we can.”
