Qin Xiao looked at the body, his eyes reflecting the light of someone who had found a treasure.

Seeing the light in Qin Xiao's eyes, Reas felt a chill and said somewhat flusteredly.

"My lord, please give me some time. I will absorb and integrate this rule as soon as possible. Then you will have a demigod-level subordinate."

Reias adopted a very humble stance, as he truly had no other choice.

Qin Xiao turned to look at Reias, trying to think of a good excuse to refuse her.

After all, selling it directly for money is more realistic for him...

"I think this matter is far too dangerous. Let's not waste our time. Wouldn't it be a pity if you were to suffer a backlash and die?"

Reias wasn't fooled. "My lord, I already have a plan!"

Qin Xiao pursed his lips, "Ahem, actually I don't like men as my subordinates. I have a strong aversion to gender."

Reias said urgently, "I...I'm a woman!"

Qin Xiao felt a chill run down his spine. Holy crap, this burly, tall man was making such a shameful and indignant gesture.

It's really quite chilling...

"Ahem, but now you are a man after all. After being a man for so many years, you have actually become a man."

Reias panicked and didn't know what to say for a moment. After a moment of hesitation, he actually started taking off his clothes...

Qin Xiao quickly put Yun Yun behind his back.

"Holy crap, what are you doing! Don't do these weird things, even if you cut yourself off, you're still a man!"

The style of the painting suddenly began to slide into an unpredictable abyss, and Qin Xiao resolutely refused.

It's a bit disgusting.

Reias waved his hands repeatedly, and the jacket he wore, which resembled a combat suit, melted and solidified into a ball.

The inner garment was removed.

Reias shouted excitedly, "My lord, my body has no gender! Look! No... organs!"

Qin Xiao squinted and, upon hearing Reias's words, stopped his kick that was about to fly out.

Wait... it really is...

Like a mannequin in a store, great figure, rugged lines, but definitely...

There are no organs, neither breasts nor genitals; it's just a flat, smooth surface.

This... Qin Xiao was a little speechless. This offspring really is genderless.

However, Qin Xiao then asked a strange question.

"You're genderless...you don't need to eat, you don't need to excrete, you don't have an endocrine system?"

Reias nodded. "My emotions come from my consciousness and soul, not from my endocrine system."

Furthermore, I don't need to eat; I only need to absorb the energy of spirit crystals, or anything else that possesses energy.

This isn't a robot!

I threw up!

Qin Xiao didn't know what to say for a moment. Although he could punish or even kill these people without hesitation for their offense just now.

However, the other party both expressed submission and did not take any initiative or act rashly.

In this situation, he still felt a little embarrassed to force someone to sell their body.

Qin Xiao was speechless. "Put your clothes on! What kind of behavior is this?!"

Reas wasn't wearing a single layer of clothing. After evenly dispersing the condensed matter, he was back in his previous attire.

Qin Xiao glanced at it, assuming it was some kind of nanotech suit, and didn't pay much attention.

"Alright, no matter what you say, I'm selling this thing. Your body is beyond saving, so I'll just give you 20% after I sell it!"

"Please, sir!"

Reias broke down completely, a miserable expression appearing on his hardened face.

"It's no use begging me. I've been preparing to rectify the corrupt practices in this world recently, and I've shut down a lot of industries, leaving them dirt poor."

This thing of yours could easily fetch a good price; consider it a sacrifice for the sake of all living beings in this world.

"Well, I'm ordering you to sacrifice yourself for this world; whether you accept or not is up to you."

Qin Xiao had no choice but to resort to shamelessness; after all, this thing was worth more than this fragmented world.

He was really poor. Jianmu was crying out in hunger, and it pained him.

Reias looked ashen-faced, but after a moment, she suddenly remembered something.

"Sir, are you saying that you lost income because you shut down the world's industries?"

Qin Xiao glanced at her. "What, you think you can get me some money?"

Reias nodded hastily and immediately took off his combat suit.

He handed him the object, which had condensed into a fist-sized shape.

"Sir, how much do you think this thing is worth?"

Qin Xiao rejected the offer, saying dismissively, "Stop talking nonsense and just tell me what you mean."

Reias took a deep breath and said humbly.

"Sir, I call this thing a bio-armor. This thing can increase the combat power of those below the Diamond rank by one level."

It enhances the combat power of Diamond-tier characters of five stars and above, and also provides defensive, restorative, and energy-absorbing functions!

Qin Xiao frowned. "So what? This thing is worth at most a hundred diamond-grade spirit crystals, and we'll have to see how the market reacts."

Reias then added.

"Sir, what if this thing can be manufactured reliably and consistently?"

Qin Xiao was somewhat doubtful, "Are you sure?"

Ares nodded and pointed at the floating woman.

"This thing was created by me using my body and that corrosive substance. As long as enough energy is provided, it can be mass-produced!"

"What kind of energy is needed? How much energy?"

Qin Xiao pressed for an answer.

Seeing Qin Xiao's interest, Reias quickly added, "It only takes ten platinum-grade spirit crystals to make one, and if we use diamond-grade spirit crystals, we might be able to make an even more powerful armor!"

Ten Platinum-tier materials can be used to craft a piece of armor that can boost combat power to Diamond-tier... and it also has multiple functions...

Qin Xiao's mind raced, and he felt like there might be a way...

Although it's certain that it won't earn demigod-level spirit crystals, this physical body might still be able to earn two.

If we can earn a lot of diamond-grade spirit crystals, that seems pretty good.

If I make it with ten platinum-grade materials, and then mark it up a hundred times, selling it for a hundred diamond-grade materials isn't considered shady, right?

Hiss~

This profit margin...

"If you have such a great way to make money, why didn't you do it before?"

Reias chuckled awkwardly. "My lord, didn't we intend to keep this a secret? How could I dare to make a big fuss about it..."

Qin Xiao frowned. "You didn't get all those thousands of platinum-level and hundreds of diamond-level players in your city this way, did you?"

Reias nodded silently. "Yes, they were all armed because of the armor I bestowed upon them."

Reias was quite surprised that Qin Xiao could accurately know the strength of her subordinates, but she did not intend to deny it.

"With better strength, I can better salvage fragments and retrieve more items, allowing me to create implants using spirit crystals more quickly."

Actually, I wouldn't dare lie to you, sir. I created this armor to expel the power of the flesh and blood within this body, and it's also my method for restoring my physical form.

Qin Xiao nodded. "Then it seems your path is quite difficult."

This Spirit Crystal Production Equipment might be able to take away some of the characteristics of flesh and blood.

But whether it will aid the enemy or weaken them is hard to say...

But if I really became... a pseudo-demigod-level subordinate, I'd be a little tempted!
