I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early Chapter 182 - 147 The smart brother is here to help, Tortois
As Lu Yuan pondered, the mirror spoke again.
[I have already shown enough sincerity.]
[A bowl of rice in exchange for the basic knowledge of engravings, this is my bottom line. There is no more profitable deal in the world.]
[You let the Undying Giant Turtle bring it in, and there will be no risk.]
[Of course, you could also exchange it for other knowledge of equal value. Propose your own plan.]
Lu Yuan remained silent, glancing at the turtle.
The psychological pressure he was under was extraordinarily great at this mont.
There lay a trap in front of him, but there was also a tempting pie, and now it was just a matter of if he could withstand the risk.
Only the Undying Giant Turtle was completely oblivious to what they were doing.
What did it an to send a bowl of rice?
Such a simple task, and they still had to dawdle for so long?
Naturally, since the topic had finally shifted to the magnificent Mr. Turtle, it was excited.
It had been frustrated just now, feeling like the pitiable and ignorant Hajimi, utterly unable to contribute anything to the conversation.
For the Undying Giant Turtle, nothing else mattered; it just wanted to escape this damned prison.
"Bro...brother, wise brother," the turtle greeted, feigning familiarity.
This was the limit of its thick-skinnedness, it couldn’t handle any more!
"Mr. Turtle, what do you say?"
The turtle grimaced, looking at the green resin: "If you want this trash, just tell directly."
"I can take it out for you, no need for such hassle, it’s just a trifle for ."
Lu Yuan noticed a significant change in the turtle’s attitude, which eased his mind.
"Really? This ghost keeps attacking , and I am utterly exhausted."
"Of course, a sealed ghost is nothing to fear for Mr. Turtle," it said with full confidence.
Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes, pondering for a mont.
Generally, such thin-skinned creatures would not easily brother-up.
Therefore, the probability that it would run away imdiately after getting out was not high.
Regardless, it was no loss to secure the reward from the Milestone first; if it decided to flee afterwards, there wasn’t much he could do...
"At least the first little target has been t."
He didn’t want to trouble this turtle any further, acknowledging it with high regard, "You’ve been a huge help."
"Brother, even at the risk of my life, I must get you out of here!" He emphasized the words "risk of my life" significantly.
"A piece of cake, just a small matter."
The Undying Giant Turtle was very excited, although it had no idea why picking up this trash was useful.
But it felt that it must not let down this good brother!
To show its determination, the turtle carelessly walked into the room where the [Ghost]’s head was located.
Maybe because it was walking too boldly, a red light aid at the turtle’s body.
A dark force began to spread through the corridor.
Lu Yuan took a deep breath; he had experienced the [Ghost]’s direct attacks... Even if it was just a sealed remnant head, it was still too much for him, Lu Yuan, to withstand.
The Undying Giant Turtle’s shell, upon being hit by the red light, quickly petrified.
Weird symbols erged on the shell, glowing a grayish color—this was an innate adaptation ability that continually increased its defensive strength against the sa attack. (Rember, this is just the sealed [Ghost].)
"What’s so fierce, you stupid thing," the Undying Giant Turtle had a foul mouth indeed.
"After living together for so many years, you don’t even recognize , you’re such a big fool!"
It might have been feeling so pressure too, as it kept swearing.
"Mr. Turtle, your swearing skills are a bit lacking," Lu Yuan said with a laugh from outside. "Let teach you a formula for swearing: greet a particular organ of the opponent’s female relative a verb an organ of the opponent’s male relative, of course, it also works the other way around."
The Undying Giant Turtle imagined it for a mont and almost retracted into its shell.
Too vicious, Mr. Turtle cared too much about its image to say such things.
At the sa ti, it swept out so of the resins with its claws like a broom.
And the [Ghost] indeed had no intelligence.
It stared at the turtle for a long ti, and the turtle gradually adapted to the environnt.
It was helpless.
The strongest anomaly without intelligence, perhaps that was the last bit of rcy in this world—if the [Ghost] had intelligence, it would truly be unsolvable and unstoppable.
The clumps of resin made Lu Yuan’s eyes light up with joy, his heart pounding with excitent.
This trip was well worth it!
All this resin added up might equal a bucket’s volu, about 40 kilograms—heavy stuff indeed.
He ticulously scrutinized each piece of resin and found no remnants of the ghost in any of them; they were all pure substances.
On so of the resins, there were engravings so small they were almost invisible, looking like tiny ants.
In this situation, gluing the resin back together would be aningless.
To suppress this head again, the engravings needed to be recarved from scratch.
"[Ghost] is indeed a huge trouble," he mused.
What ca next was to trade with this [Demon].
"Should I make the trade or not…"
With an unusually solemn face, Lu Yuan hesitated repeatedly and inquired about the [Demon]’s information from the Undying Giant Turtle.
```
But the turtle knew little, possibly because it wasn’t suitable for possession and had little utility value, the Demon in the past wasn’t too willing to communicate with the turtle.
At most, it just fed the Undying Giant Turtle with the corpses of so other anomalies...
The amount wasn’t much, just an arm.
As for what kind of anomaly’s arm it was, the Undying Giant Turtle couldn’t answer.
"That mirror, is it its true form?"
"How many years has it stayed here?"
"What has it said to you?"
Seeing the slightly guilty expression on the Undying Giant Turtle, Lu Yuan imdiately understood, this bastard... had forgotten everything?!
His face twitched twice, feeling it unnecessary to continue asking.
Since the Undying Giant Turtle was unreliable, he would have to make his own decision.
"This Demon ate an anomaly’s arm and still didn’t escape, eating another bowl of rice probably won’t result in it escaping..."
"Okay, this is indeed wishful thinking."
"But life in this world is already tough... Sotis you need a bit of luck and cunning."
"The beneficiary of this transaction isn’t just but the Rize people; I have to let the Rize Civilization also take so risks."
After pondering for a long ti, Lu Yuan still took out an iron bowl from his Storage Space, filling it more than halfway with water.
He then poured a little bit of rice into the bowl and cooked a very thin porridge.
At least, it counted as a bowl of rice.
I’ll just give you a little, but what can you do about it?
"Mr. Turtle, help bring it over... in exchange for the initial knowledge of the engravings!"
"Brother, you must take out of here," the Undying Giant Turtle seed very expectant.
"Don’t worry." Lu Yuan installed a cara on its shell again.
The Undying Giant Turtle picked up the bowl and crawled into the room, approaching the mirror.
The mirror seed very calm, knowing it couldn’t do anything to the turtle, and thus was very cooperative.
Ripple-like waves appeared on the mirror’s surface, swallowing the bowl.
Shortly after, cold chewing sounds and swallowing noises ca from the mirror.
In this enclosed space, these sounds were especially distinct.
Lu Yuan’s expression beca more solemn as he slowly moved closer to the exit, always ready to flee.
Even if Instant Teleportation failed, dying inside the walls would be better than dying outside.
"Indeed, a delicious al. But this bowl of rice is too little; I can only give you a little in exchange. This is a fair trade."
A sheet made of gold floated out from the mirror, with so crooked engravings written on it.
But it was only half complete and didn’t fill up the whole gold foil.
Then, a small golden bowl with densely packed engravings, possibly ten thousands of them, fell out from the mirror.
"This is a bowl available for trade. Intelligent person, you’re bound to face hardships, aren’t you?"
"I can answer most of the knowledge in the world, as long as you’re willing to pay the price, I can answer for you." Discover hidden tales at empire
The Undying Giant Turtle brought out both the gold foil and the golden bowl.
"This guy really is insatiable, starting to seek further trade," Lu Yuan thought.
"In a situation of asymtrical information, I must be cautious."
Lu Yuan did not imdiately take the two items but let the turtle place them on the ground, observing them carefully.
"A piece of gold foil with basic engraving knowledge, containing a civilization’s initial teachings."
"However, this teaching material is not complete; it might only contain a small portion of the knowledge."
The gold foil indeed was just ordinary gold, and the energy emitted by those engravings was also quite limited.
Clearly, it wasn’t of a very formidable type.
The writing of engravings also had to follow certain Idealist principles.
Pure gold is unlikely to produce anything incredibly powerful...
After thinking for a while, Lu Yuan eventually coated the gold with resin... Well, he had plenty of resin now, a bit of a luxury.
As for that bowl, it seed to have quite a significant background.
"Yin Yang Bowl"
"Crafted by an unknown civilization’s master engraver and craftsman master, Nu Bi, an extraordinary artifact; two in total, one yin and one yang. Forged from dozens of rare and extraordinary materials. (Legendary Masterpiece)"
"The substance inside the bowl can teleport to each other, no matter the distance. (Legendary Level artificial artifact)"
"Please note: You need to place the items in the bowl quietly, and the height should not exceed the rim of the bowl. After quietly placing for 1 minute, they can teleport to each other."
"Note: Due to its principle of operation, it cannot teleport life with Self Consciousness, substances with high Idealist Interference or materials imbued with Sealing powers."
Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes thoughtfully: "Yin Yang Bowl..."
"One bowl is with , the other is with the mirror. It’s trying to establish a long-term trade with , and gradually break through my psychological defenses."
Well, this does feel quite eerie.
Knowing the risks yet unable to give it up.
"Low Ideal Energy substances can be teleported."
"If there’s any cursed object, it can be teleported over to curse at any ti. But even if it curses to death, it won’t benefit from it. With the Demon’s intelligence, it wouldn’t do sothing aningless."
"Moreover, I can resurrect, which allows to take so risks... it can’t possibly know I can resurrect."
