I Don't Agree to the Terms

Chapter 964 508: I Have Standard, Deluxe, and Divine Artifact Editions (Part 2)

"Divine Artifact? Is it really a Divine Artifact?" Shura was intrigued.

"Yes, it's indeed a Divine Artifact." Gu Shanhai patted his chest and said. The original meaning of a Divine Artifact is something once used by a god. Since he is also a god, it becomes a Divine Artifact as well.

As for the powers of the Divine Artifact, they should mostly come from the godly aura it carries. The truly strong one is the god, not the item possessed by the god.

"Then can I customize a universal production line? The kind that can create potions or equipment?" Shura felt tempted.

"It can be done, but there are limitations. Because after I make it for you, at most, I can give you some small recipes. If you want this thing to grow, whether it's combat or logistical support, you will need to invest effort to cultivate it. It's impossible to give you all the blueprints and recipes at once. At most, I can give you what you can use at your current stage." Gu Shanhai wouldn't give everything unless they could afford it.

Just looking at these two, they hardly seemed capable of affording it.

"Still need to cultivate it? I need to think about this." Shura was practical. Although he changed systems, he still followed a combat route, unlike the bizarre and dreamy style, which had deviated from the combat path. Primarily, their natural abilities were different. After all, the bizarre and dreamy style is a simulator, unlike Shura's real-time text reminders, which can aid in combat.

So having to carry a burden wasn't ideal.

"What about you guys?" Gu Shanhai asked.

"So you mean the regular and deluxe versions are just dead objects, which will be outgrown as we level up, but not the Divine Artifact version. As long as we provide corresponding resources, it can grow, right?" the Grand Paradigm asked.

Gu Shanhai nodded.

"Then what are the required resources?" the Grand Paradigm inquired, as this was crucial.

"Basically, you need technology and materials, such as some technological and magic technologies that can enhance both hardware and software. Secondly, you need to find various blueprints and recipes for it. This way, it can not only manufacture but also deduce new technologies from various knowledge. The time depends on the hardware and software." Gu Shanhai summarized briefly.

"We need to discuss it. The Divine Artifact version you're selling surely isn't cheap." The Grand Paradigm didn't immediately make a decision.

Not being cheap was actually acceptable to the Grand Paradigm. Gu Shanhai bartered, and he had many idle skills and items that didn't fit his situation. Selling wasn't worth it, so he kept them.

The real issue was the subsequent cultivation, which would be a significant ongoing expense for the Grand Paradigm.

Cultivating Cui Yingying had already exhausted him physically and mentally. Raising another gold-eating beast would severely deplete his resources.

Even the well-resourced Shura couldn't handle these.

But mainly because this thing wasn't suitable for Shura, he fought in battles daily, and if he wanted something, he could just act. Fighting was his usual rhythm, and many tasks and resources came through combat.

Moreover, the text reminders could significantly assist him in enhancement. For a machine that needed nurturing, Shura had no great desire.

But the Grand Paradigm needed it more. He wasn't the type for combat, nor was he bold and aggressive. He was more like an ordinary person forced by poverty to push forward.

His attitude towards ghosts showed that he had been enchanted by the Red Shoes' high heels and Painted Skin's makeup skills.

It's a good thing that his character isn't as dark and sinister as in his previous life.

"It's okay, no pressure. If you don't buy it, I can save myself the work." Gu Shanhai was relatively indifferent about it since the items players had at this stage weren't as important to him. At most, they could supplement his database, beyond which they had no value.

This made Gu Shanhai more relaxed, not as urgent as before.

If it were in the past, he wouldn't have waited for them to speak before planning to squeeze everything they had, ensuring not a drop of profit was left untapped.

The players' value had dwindled significantly, close to nothing.

Fortunately, Gu Shanhai didn't rely on players. Otherwise, he'd have lost everything.

The main issue was that the players' growth couldn't keep up with someone like Gu Shanhai's level, even players who were reborn were far behind.

Being reborn only gave the advantage of foresight, but not much more. If they couldn't quickly capitalize on this foresight, it would sooner or later vanish.

After all, with rebirth and interference, the butterfly effect would cause various changes.

Unless, like Gu Shanhai, they didn't focus on foresight but used it more as an aid.

However, most reborn players didn't last long, often dying in the first version. They couldn't even reach the status of a big shot because as time passed, the advantage of being reborn disappeared, and their abilities were insufficient, leading to their demise.

Most reincarnators, before being reborn, weren't top figures but rather people at the bottom. If they truly had the ability, they wouldn't need to be reborn, and they could become top players directly.

"This matter isn't urgent. We have plenty of time. Perhaps we should consider how to handle those remaining ghosts?" Shura asked.

"What's your opinion?" Gu Shanhai asked in return.

He felt Shura must have some plan or discovery; otherwise, he wouldn't have asked this.

The Grand Paradigm also looked at Shura, having nothing to add.

"Let's act quickly and test if another batch can be sent over after a midnight raid." Shura said calmly.

Gu Shanhai suspiciously glanced at Shura: "I feel like you're hiding something from us."

"I am, but I can't say. You two are too tricky." Shura admitted without hesitation, worried that revealing his plan would allow them to mess it up and get him into trouble.

"Oh come on, that's too unfair to us," Gu Shanhai insisted, denying he was that kind of person.

"I think it'd be better if you tell us. If you do, we can avoid setbacks. If you don't, who knows if *** might ruin your plans, like when the whole apartment was rigged with explosives," the Grand Paradigm advised kindly.

Hearing this, the previous confident expression on Shura's face turned curious.

"It seems... It makes sense." Shura suddenly realized.

Gu Shanhai stuffing bombs into the walls, digging basements on the ground floor, those actions were too detrimental. If he acted without informing them and ruined the plans, what if he did it unwittingly? Moreover, the responsibility would fall on him for keeping it a secret.

If he says nothing, how can it be someone else's fault?

"I found out that this apartment once underwent a major fire. After a quiet period, it was bought and rebuilt by someone, eventually becoming today's Garden Apartment."

"I suspect the All Ghosts Survival Platform noticed something formed by this event, which is why they orchestrated these ghost survival scenarios." Shura explained the situation simply.

"Such a cliché story." Gu Shanhai commented sarcastically.

"The story is cliché, but the development isn't. Normally, it's the ghosts rampaging, but here it's the humans causing chaos," the Grand Paradigm added.

"Moreover, we can further validate this. For instance, if our next stage is also shaped by catastrophic events, then the tasks ahead will become much simpler." Shura didn't mind what the two thought. Without the text reminders, he couldn't have found this information.
