The Growth of a God

Chapter 297 12: Arms Deal? War Support! (3/3)

The weapon trade between the trio known as Wuhua and the Pawas unexpectedly took nearly a month to reach a consensus.

This was certainly not because either party breached the contract at the last minute or inflated the prices.

On the contrary, both parties saw greater value in each other, so they decided to engage in deeper communication to understand each other's needs better.

The first focus was on the Pawas' needs.

Initially, they only wanted to purchase some weapons from Wuhua to help them fend off the invasion of Stone Beasts.

After all, in the understanding of these Pandora World natives, the help that a mere arms dealer could provide was ultimately limited.

When contacting Wuhua, the Pawas mostly intended to use its channel to seek assistance from the Mountain and Sea Realm behind it.

However, a prior demonstration of firepower by Chidan left the Pawas, who had never seen the world, dumbfounded, and for the first time, they realized how narrow their understanding of "weapons" had been.

The sound wave weapon developed specifically against certain frequencies could simply be the natural enemy of the Stone Beasts.

As long as they didn't encounter Stone Beasts of the Ascender Level, the Pawas could use this sound wave weapon to take the initiative to attack, rather than being limited to defense.

In fact, in the weapon list provided by Wuhua, this sound wave weapon was merely the most basic infantry weapon.

Highly explosive bombs, semi-automated autonomous turrets, brand-new kinetic rocket launchers, remotely controlled high-altitude drones...

After witnessing so many terrifyingly powerful weapons, the Pawas' worldview was shattered.

They could hardly imagine how fearsome the power would be if warriors were fully armed with these weapons.

Even more unimaginable for the Pawas was what kind of terrifying foundation the Mountain and Sea Realm had, which sold these mass destruction weapons as mere "arms."

Of course, what the Pawas did not know was that these weapons, which they found terrifying, were not mainstream products in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Across the entire Mountain and Sea Realm, probably only a unique individual like Chidan, who was enthusiastic about studying the Burrowing Insect Civilization and high-tech equipment, would stockpile so many arms within their body.

Whenever Chidan planned to return to the Mountain and Sea Realm, they would clear these weapons immediately, to prevent being arrested and detained for "illegal stockpiling of explosive materials" by the relevant departments.

After all, the Mountain and Sea Realm had clearly prohibited the large-scale manufacture and possession of explosives from ancient times.

Even if occasionally large-scale destructive weapons flowed into the Mountain and Sea Realm from the Burrowing Insect Civilization, they would be strictly controlled and reviewed.

The peace within the Mountain and Sea Realm had never been as effortlessly maintained as it appeared on the surface.

To achieve and maintain this peace, many people in the Mountain and Sea Realm had been quietly working hard.

Although there were also many people criticizing the Zhiku's "self-castrating" weapon control.

But, including Chidan, the vast majority of the Mountain and Sea People who had witnessed external war and chaos clearly supported the control measures of mass destructive weapons within the Mountain and Sea Realm.

True warfare should be left to those who are skilled in it.

The Mountain and Sea People, who are not adept at or fond of war, only need to do what they are good at and enjoy.

The current Mountain and Sea Realm has the capacity and qualification to create a peaceful and tranquil environment for the individuals living within it.

This is also proof of the Mountain and Sea Realm's own immense strength.

—Those who excel in warfare need not boast of glorious battle achievements.

After clarifying the needs of the Pawas, the demands of the trio known as Wuhua naturally rose accordingly.

According to the trio's original plan, they only wanted to acquire some unique resources from the Pandora World.

In the absence of hard currency, this was undoubtedly the best choice.

Especially the unique "Living Plants" of the Pawas, they had long been a special resource coveted by Wuhua.

However, after learning about the Pawas' current situation and needs, Wuhua put forward an even more excessive demand that better aligned with their own interests.

.........................................................

"I want that technology of yours that can vitalize plants."

Sitting across from Quechua, Wuhua, who had returned to the form of the Mechanical Nine-tailed Fox, laid out her terms.

The nine tails swayed gently behind her, revealing no expression on her mechanical fox face.

"Impossible! That's absolutely impossible!"

Even before Quechua could speak, a Pawa standing behind it decisively rejected Wuhua's unreasonable demand.

The Plant Vitalization technology is the crystallization of Pawa civilization's wisdom, and it is the cornerstone that allowed the Pawas to stand out among the many beings of the Pandora World.

"There's nothing in this world that's impossible."

Once again swaying her tail, Wuhua spoke with a tone tinged with a light chuckle.

"Your civilization has already fallen, your race is on the brink of extinction..."

"To you, the 'Plant Vitalization' technology is just a past glory, not a current necessity."

"If you still cannot see reality, perhaps this great technology will only end up being buried with your race."

The vines on Quechua's face unwittingly squirmed as he reached out to stop his companions' rebuttals.

"As you said, we indeed don't have many choices right now."

"Compared to past glory, we can only choose between 'survival' and 'extinction' in the present."

After a slight pause in his tone, Quechua continued speaking.

"But if you want us to trade the Plant Vitalization technology, what equivalent exchange can you offer?"

Narrowing her eyes slightly, Wuhua seemed to perceive a certain resolute implication in Quechua's words.

It was evident that Quechua was more pragmatic than his kin and also a bit tougher to deal with.

Wuhua had no doubt that unless she proposed a sincere condition next, the other party would absolutely no longer continue trading with her.

"Rest assured, I'm a trustworthy arms dealer, and I absolutely won't exploit the situation."

"Besides the weapons I promised before, we'll also help you build a production line specialized for manufacturing weapons and provide the associated maintenance technology and knowledge."

"In this way, even if we leave this world, you can still use that production line to continuously produce new weapons to combat the endlessly appearing Stone Beasts."

Under the astonished gaze of A Meng behind her, Wuhua made a promise she had never given to anyone before.

"If you trust us enough, I can even have this instructor by my side train you in combat, so each of you can become a capable warrior."

"Hmm, you needn't worry about the instructor's professionalism; he is among the best graduates from the Mountain and Sea Realm Combat Academy."
