I Don't Agree to the Terms

Chapter 856 454: Up to No Good Every Now and Then (Part 2)

If he wants to gather Game Coins, he should choose regular players, but unfortunately, his Game Coins are useless.

A half hour later, Base Station Old Liu returned, with a noticeably relaxed expression on his face, indicating that he had borrowed resources from Lan Qiushui; otherwise, he wouldn't have this look.

He quickly took out a small pile of items, Skill Books, and other things.

Honestly, the quality is quite good. Although the quantity is small, it's certain they're all top-notch stuff.

Of course, they must have some cherished treasures that they haven't shown, those are trump cards, but it's already remarkable that Gu Shanhai could bring out these.

"See, is this enough? If not, I'll have to wait for the next chance." Base Station Old Liu pushed the items in front of Gu Shanhai.

"It's all good, it's all good, not picky." Gu Shanhai casually gathered all the items; at this stage, the things that Base Station Old Liu brought are indeed quite valuable.

However, to Gu Shanhai, they're just average, as he's long past this stage. But they still hold some value; at least in Gu Shanhai's eyes, these items are more valuable than the Geng Metal Divine Body or Heavenly Rank Gold Spirit Root he could create.

Seeing Gu Shanhai accept the items, Base Station Old Liu grinned from ear to ear as he received the items and immediately used them.

Why keep them? What if something unexpected happens over time?

After using them, he said: "I feel like I got the better end of this deal, but if there's more good stuff next time, make sure to contact me, and I'll make up the difference."

He felt it's worth the value, and he also wanted to draw Gu Shanhai in. For him, these items, Skill Books, and the like are immensely valuable, but they pale in comparison to his own power. If he could use the Skill Books, he would have already done so; since he can't, he'll just auction them.

But even now, they haven't been sold. Their value is too high, buyers can't afford them, and those who can afford them are too picky, so they've been stuck in his hands, serving as a different kind of clearance.

"Could you reach out to me too..." Lan Qiushui appeared behind Base Station Old Liu at some point, speaking with a longing tone.

Hearing this, Base Station Old Liu smiled sheepishly, "Okay, okay, I'll call you over then."

"Damn, you're being a bit biased. Those innate abilities and skills, their values are outrageously high. Can't you hook me up with a set too?" Lan Qiushui looked at Gu Shanhai and asked.

"We're not really compatible; Lao Liu, though a bit eccentric, at least falls within the category of Immortal Cultivation. You're all about basketball; I really can't help you out. Should I give you a whole suite of Thunderbolt Cyclone Split, City of Energy Domain, or Tornado Sacred Body..." Gu Shanhai cracked a hellish joke.

Lan Qiushui was utterly confused. What was all that?

"Or maybe change your gender to Armed Helicopter?" Gu Shanhai added another quip.

"Forget it, forget it, your stuff looks unreliable." Lan Qiushui didn't understand, but he comprehended that his system was too niche, and Gu Shanhai isn't part of the mainstream either.

In contrast, the cultivation system is popular in the "First Era." If Gu Shanhai couldn't handle it, then that would be a problem. Base Station Old Liu, even if not part of proper Immortal Cultivation, has at least dipped into it significantly.

"It truly is unreliable. If you seriously wanted any of that stuff, I'd have a headache." Gu Shanhai figured Lan Qiushui was pretty reasonable and knew better than to ask for the impossible.

"In the next instance, I'm coming in with nothing on me, but you'll make a huge gain." Lan Qiushui looked at Base Station Old Liu, but being friends, he spoke more in jest.

"No way, I've been drained clean." Base Station Old Liu claimed that only Gu Shanhai profited, that he's got nothing on him.

"Oh, come on, with those potions you consumed, your strength increased, yet you say you've lost." Gu Shanhai teased.

The two exchanged embarrassed chuckles, acknowledging that the potions alone made this journey profitable enough, even if the mission failed.

Then they quickly regained their composure, and Lan Qiushui said gravely: "We can be sure now that this mission is a monster-fighting type."

"And it likely doesn't include common or elite monsters, but direct BOSS fights, probably with quite the difficulty."

"If it weren't for the Air Wall, we might have found out more."

Lan Qiushui worked alongside Base Station Old Liu and had explored Zhen Shi Village thoroughly; they even located the seal of the Black Stone Demon.

The Air Wall truly does separate inside from outside, but sometimes it isn't as rigid, like when monsters respawn.

Monsters definitely don't respawn out of nowhere, only poor souls are dragged in and affected so that they don't find it unusual.

"Why don't we just plant more explosives, and once people show up, we blow them sky high?" Gu Shanhai thought that if it's so troublesome, they might as well go all out.

"I've already dealt with that. I've buried ten nuclear bombs, each with a yield of 200 million tons, around the village."

"If we truly can't win, we can always detonate the nukes."

Base Station Old Liu stated he was prepared and that if they truly fail, they'd blow the village to smithereens. Even if they fail the mission, they wouldn't let the others off easily.

What about the followers?

That also assumes that the main quest is completed; without completing it, maxing out affection and accomplishing follower quests won't matter.

So they might as well irritate the opposing side and bask in their own delight.

"No, my idea was that maybe we should up the firepower." Gu Shanhai said as he took out ten modified Big Ivans.

Base Station Old Liu took a look, his expression shifting from surprise to bewilderment.

"How many different life-system jobs do you have...?" Base Station Old Liu could tell at a glance that the nuclear bombs in Gu Shanhai's hand were much more potent than the ones he had buried.

"Just tinkered a bit, just tinkered a bit." Gu Shanhai behaved modestly.

"Increasing the power isn't an issue, but I can't guarantee we three buddies will survive your nukes." Base Station Old Liu subtly pointed out that these nukes seemed to lack the friendly fire immunity, which was absurd, as he hadn't seen player items capable of harming teammates.

The ten nukes he buried were naturally registered under friendly fire, so players were immune.

Gu Shanhai's ten nukes had the 'no differentiation' tag, meaning even teammates would get hurt.

Add in the massive power, and they truly wouldn't endure it.

"Oh, that... makes some sense." Gu Shanhai put them away, realizing that Base Station Old Liu had buried the nukes because of their immunity to friendly fire, whereas his nukes didn't have that, so he instinctively thought big explosions would be better.

"Let's stick with yours." Gu Shanhai didn't insist further.

The nukes Base Station Old Liu buried were decent in power, but unlikely to kill a level-1000 demon.

If a group of level-500 items could threaten a level-1000 inhabitant, then there'd be an issue.

The commotion would certainly be significant; if it really blew, it'd definitely attract investigations from humans. If that happened, even if the Black Stone Demon broke free from its seal, returning to the demon territory wouldn't be easy.

Unless the human authorities turned a blind eye, otherwise, with the ten nukes detonated, the human race would be as good as wiped out if no one came to investigate.

Zhen Shi Village isn't some isolated mountain village; there are other villages, towns, and even a big city nearby.

The ten nukes are buried in Zhen Shi Village, but the explosion's range would extend far beyond just Zhen Shi Village.

"Ten nukes won't be enough; maybe we should bury ninety more and make it a hundred?" Lan Qiushui proposed again.

Nukes for top-tier players like Base Station Old Liu aren't really a big deal.

As long as they have the materials, they can make them themselves.

"What, do you wanna dig up the entire Zhen Shi Village and fill it with nukes?" Gu Shanhai quipped.
