As if realizing something, the system suddenly sprang up and spoke warily:
"Anyway, I can't do it. The resources in this world are something you have to fight for with your life, not something you can get by cheating or swindling."
"Having a physical body means you can be attacked. The evil gods, demons, and superhumans in this world are not to be trifled with."
"What if I get short-circuited from being hit!"
"Don't worry, this time it's really not you who's going to do it, I swear."
Ling Xiao smiled, raised her hand to her ear as if making a vow, and repeatedly made promises.
The system was skeptical and somewhat uneasy; if it couldn't take the lead, who else could help its host plunder resources?
Hmph, no matter how demonic the little fairies from the previous worlds were, they were all left behind.
Without keeping everyone in suspense, Ling Xiao described his method to the system: first, since he couldn't force it, he had to outsmart it.
However, there is one thing: as a high-ranking demon god, Ling Xiao cannot directly demand resources.
If it doesn't conform to the established plan, it could easily cause unforeseen problems and ruin the current favorable situation. If it accidentally messes up the savior mission, Ling Xiao would be furious.
Secondly, the resources available to humanity didn't come for free. As I've said before, this world is currently in a resource-rich, pioneering phase, and even supplies for the local superhumans are scarce.
There's no benefit in it. Humans aren't stupid; they won't give it to you for nothing unless it's a matter of life and death.
"So, how should we outsmart them?"
The system listened intently and couldn't help but ask a question.
"It's all about equivalent exchange. We'll get the superhumans to exchange willingly. Sigh, this time we really need to bring out something real."
Ling Xiao shook his head, and an ancient jade book appeared in his hand. The characters on it were profound and complicated, difficult to decipher. His fingertips brushed over the characters, revealing an uneven surface.
The system recognized what it was: a golden book and jade scroll, belonging to the previous world, something the host had painstakingly obtained from the Taoist sect.
She even brought along a handsome young Taoist priest to help her translate and study these Taoist classics.
"What is buying and selling? It is exchanging what you have of value for what you need more from others."
"Knowledge is a precious resource!"
"Most importantly, knowledge is a resource that can be replicated."
With a broad smile, yes, this world is like a nouveau riche who suddenly becomes wealthy. He has plenty of money, but what he lacks most is depth and experience.
The previous world was the complete opposite. It had once flourished to its zenith but declined due to unforeseen circumstances, much like a fallen aristocratic family.
The knowledge, rituals, and heritage possessed in the previous world are just a pile of useless things if placed in the wrong place, and Ling Xiao can obtain them with a little effort.
Upon arriving in this world, one can use this as a means to transform "washuo" into gold and jade, and knowledge can be exchanged for resources.
This embodies the truth that there are no useless things, only resources that are not in the right place.
"Then what are we waiting for?"
The system was excited and eager to make a big splash.
"What's the rush?" Ling Xiao smiled at the system and gave it a wink.
“We are in a seller’s market now. These resources are dispensable to us, but it’s a different story for the other party.”
The other party?
Are they human? But they don't know anything about this. The system was stunned, then suddenly had a flash of inspiration, abruptly raised its head and mouthed:
"world?"
Ling Xiao nodded gently, her crescent-shaped eyes peering through layers of leaves into the endless void, as if another pair of eyes were gazing back at her from there.
The slender hand casually shook the jade book a few times:
"The product display is now complete. Interested parties should place their bids as soon as possible."
After saying that, the jade book disappeared.
The system watched this scene and thought to itself, "The host's tricks are getting more and more out of hand. I won't go to the mountain; I'll make the mountain come to me."
The world will not give up all the essence of this other world. These things may not be able to make the world leap forward in a short time, but they greatly enhance the world's foundation.
If it were just natural development, it might take a thousand or ten thousand years to reach this point.
However, what this pristine world lacks most is time!
If there is enough time, and enough extraordinary individuals in the world to fight against the evil god, why would the world need to sell itself?
It's a choice I had to make, isn't it? If I don't sell myself, I'll be destroyed. If I had a choice, who wouldn't want to live a clean and honest world?
Therefore, the system is certain that the world will definitely take the bait.
"But, host, aren't you afraid that the world will actually catch up with you and your mission will fail?"
The system cautiously suggested a possibility.
Ling Xiao rolled her eyes decisively. There were some things the seller shouldn't have said, but for the sake of this stupid system, she had to say them:
"Ha, what is a glimmer of hope? What I have in my hand is a glimmer of hope. Who says this world will definitely succeed? It only buys hope."
In other words, Ling Xiao wasn't afraid of failing the mission because he didn't believe the world could successfully retaliate using these things.
Moreover, what does it have to do with her, an innocent mission taker, that the world caused trouble for the main god?
The system figured it out and reluctantly agreed.
Sigh, the host is messing with the main god, and it's really hard for me to turn a blind eye every time, okay?
"However, how will the world's consciousness complete the transaction?"
"When the father is busy, the son should take on his duties; even his rebellious own son is still around."
…………
In a dark room, the person on the bed suddenly opened their eyes, staring intently at the ceiling above them, drenched in sweat.
