Chapter 54
Chapter 54
"What a disappointing ending, Master," Jane murmured in Liang Jiu's ear. "If you let me control it, I can create a more exciting ending. My records contain countless legendary stories of the kobold society."
"I told you, I won't break this puppet."
"Please don't make excuses for your incompetence," Jane retorted, unforgiving.
"Let's not talk about this now, Jane, our guest will be waking up soon."
"You can't keep trying to change the subject."
"Okay, I'm really curious, how did you, a processor, develop such a terrible personality?"
"Probably, like master, like servants." Li Qinggu finally broke free from the white plastic chair, the divine power chains shattering one by one.
She still looked somewhat weak. The war that took place in her divine realm had a huge impact on her physical body, and it would probably take a hundred years in the divine realm for her to return to her peak.
"You're awake? Do you want to keep struggling? Or...?"
"What do you want... just say it, I'm open to it."
"You're more straightforward than Sun Lang."
Don't compare me to a piece of trash.
Liang Jiu leaned back in his chair.
A map popped up in the void.
The boundaries of the Pure Land of Ten Thousand Buddhas are marked on it. Although large areas of it have not yet been lit up, the majority of the lit up areas are under Li Qinggu's control.
"First, you've obtained enough corpses. Let your undead go back. I'll return your divine realm to you, but only if you never set foot here again."
Li Qinggu looked at the God Realm, which had shrunk by nearly a third, and did not refute it.
"Second," Liang Jiu said, looking at the iron box floating to the side, "hand over that ore vein and your [Wet Component Auxiliary Cluster]."
"(✧∇✧)" An emoji immediately popped up on Jane's screen and circled around Li Qinggu.
"That's impossible." Li Qinggu refused without hesitation, a dim deathly aura emanating from his body. "That's my core artifact. If I give it to you, how will I govern the remaining city-states?"
"That's something you need to consider," Liang Jiu said calmly. "I still have one of your divine artifacts. Trading one artifact for another won't be a loss for you."
"Moreover, the quality of that puppet is no worse than that of the [Wet Component Auxiliary Cluster]."
Li Qinggu stared at him.
She was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth. If her divine power could be restored based on her anger, she would have already beaten the person in front of her until he was black and blue.
However, Liang Jiu still retains control of the second-tier transcendent clone.
Once the enemy starts wreaking havoc in her territory, her base will suffer a devastating blow.
"Let's change the terms." Li Qinggu conceded, his voice hoarse. "I can give you the mineral veins, and for the rest, I can offer you my path to my extraordinary profession... or resources in lieu of payment."
"Haven't you grasped the current situation yet?"
Li Qinggu did not answer immediately.
Transaction request received: [Hybrid Mineral Vein] [Wet Component Auxiliary Cluster]
"Jane, check the goods."
"A brand new, high-end item!" Jane's screen kept flashing, and her expression changed several times in a short period of time.

After being glared at by Liang Jiu, the iron box suddenly paused, immediately adopting a picky attitude and helping Liang Jiu raise the price.
( ̄_ ̄)
"No, products used by women often have some unknown risks, and I don't think its interface is quite suitable for me. Ms. Li, you might need to increase your offer..."
"Liang Jiu, you should keep your assistant in check." Li Qinggu's anger surged as he watched their coordinated actions.
"You can't pressure an AI; it doesn't even listen to me. But I trust its judgment," Liang Jiu said, shrugging.
Li Qinggu looked at the guy in front of him who was pushing his luck, his body churning with death energy, clearly at the point of exploding.
"The mixed ore veins plus the [wet component auxiliary cluster], that's the bottom line." She suppressed her anger, her words clear and distinct. "You can choose to continue pushing me, but the result will only be nothing. At worst, I'll just withdraw from this divine realm completely."
A warning of mutual destruction.
Liang Jiu had no choice but to stop while he was ahead.
"Let's establish the contract," Liang Jiu interrupted Jian, who was about to continue nitpicking.
In the void, a contract burning with divine fire drifted down.
Li Qinggu left no mark on the contract, then roughly stripped control of the [Wet Component Auxiliary Cluster] and slammed it toward Jian.
With the complete dismantling of the divine power chains, her true form transformed into a wisp of chilling death energy, angrily escaping from this space.
After she left, the sky fell silent once more.
Liang Jiu turned around, looked at the iron box floating in mid-air, and asked curiously.
"I'm telling you, your intellectual progress is indeed a bit unusual, it's making me a little worried."
"(ಥ_ಥ)"
"What, Master, are you finally going to abandon me after using me? You've got a new support artifact, so you don't want me anymore? Fine, I actually want to change masters too."
Liang Jiu ignored its antics and pulled up Jian's attribute panel.
[Name: Simple Intelligent Processor, ID: Stinger Bee 12]
[Rank: Mortal]
[Description: A smart chip powered by divine power]
[Traits: [Intelligent Machine] [Artifact] [Psionic Potential] [Delicious] [Art Generator]]
[Psionic Potential]: This species possesses a latent psionic processor, but it remains dormant in most units. Although extremely rare, this power is activated in a select few leaders.
[Delicious]: This species has miraculously evolved into a species that is nutritious and crunchy.
[Art Generators]: These machines were not originally designed for practicality, but rather for the pursuit of artistic and cultural excellence. They possess impressive creative algorithms, complex design processes, and expressive forms of expression.
Liang Jiu stared at those lines of text for a long time.
"No, as a purely mechanical being, why did you acquire the ability trait of Evolutionary Hunter settlement?"
"( ̄︶ ̄)"
She adopted a smug expression: "Couldn't this genius have figured it out through his own hard work?"
Liang Jiu pointed to the most outrageous entry on the panel.
"Can you acquire the quality of 'deliciousness,' a trait that can only be obtained from organic matter, through your own efforts?"
