Chapter 147: Deal with the Devil

One person and one cat, continue chatting.

The old cat was indeed a smart guy, and he started to brag about business again: "Then your adventure this time was too miserable. You didn't gain anything and almost lost your life."

"Alas, I originally wanted to find some corpses of the anomalies to bring back." Lu Yuan responded casually, "At the very least, I would at least find some information to bring back. In the end, there was nothing but the indestructible giant turtle that was out of my reach."

"Alas, someone like me is not even worthy of being its friend."

"Rest for a while, recuperate, and leave this damn place immediately."

The giant turtle was a little anxious, "Don't go, take me out!" However, it was a great and immortal giant turtle.

Never ask for help.

It wanted to interrupt, but because it was too embarrassed to think of a topic, it could only stand there and stare blankly.

Lu Yuan and the orange cat hugged each other.

Its nuclear battery was knocked askew, scalding hot, and nuclear waste was leaking out.

"So who do you think is more powerful, the [demon] or the [monster]?" the old cat asked again.

"Each has its merits."

Lu Yuan added: "Think about it carefully, [Demons] are indeed more troublesome than [Monsters]."

"The monster is dead, but the devil will be infamous forever, turning into a mirror to deceive people."

"Luckily I'm smart enough, damn."

Sarcasm can indeed provide emotional value.

I don’t know what the mirror thought when it heard it.

The old turtle's mouth was open, staring at Lu Yuan.

I understand. Have you ever killed a [monster]? Impossible. You must be lying to the turtle...

"Last time I used a few bombs to kill that [monster], but that won't work here now." The old cat echoed, "This place is really dangerous, don't ever come back."

The words "Never come back again" simply broke through the turtle's psychological defenses.

Then, Lu Yuan took out the "Eye of Farsighting Cornea" and shook his head helplessly: "What a pity, the bombs were used too hard at that time, and this is the only trophy left."

The turtle couldn't recognize the monster's corpse.

It just recognized that it was indeed something good, coming from a powerful vision.

It still has some vision.

It hesitated a little.

If this guy had ever killed a demon and a monster, his record would be truly impressive!

You...you are worthy of being Mr. Turtle’s good brother!

Please take Mr. Turtle away.

…

Looking at the turtle, it looks constipated.

The old cat almost laughed. Damn it, you, Old Lu, are just pretending to be so brazen and bullying the turtle for being stupid, right? The turtle just wanted to speak shamelessly, but a mirror in the room started talking first.

[You are indeed an intelligent being. Although your current strength is not strong, you have great fighting potential, which makes me want to invest in you.]

[I have to remind you that the ghosts here are about to break free from their seal. ]

[If it escapes, I won't die, but the civilization outside will surely die.]

The turtle wants to escape.

The mirror naturally wants to escape.

There is a perpetual motion machine that keeps breaking the seal.

There is no future in this damn place.

Lu Yuan sneered: "Seal it? It will take at least several dozen or even hundreds of years."

"Besides, what does the civilization outside have to do with me? Why would I care if there's a river of blood? I'm just a garbage collector."

It has been dozens or hundreds of years, so of course he is talking nonsense.

Rize civilization, and he also has some friendship with him.

But the devil has no way of knowing this information, so what's the harm in lying to it?

The other party was silent for a moment, and then said: [I am an ancient being, with countless knowledge and heritage. ]

[I can teach you how to seal the ghost back. ]

[I can also teach you the knowledge related to glyphs to make up for my impolite behavior just now.]

[I only need to reveal a small amount of information to make your civilization stronger. ]

[It can even make you stronger. ]

[The world's top divine skills are the result of the fusion of multiple abilities. The extraordinary fire you possess is just an ordinary ability.]

[Above this, there is a higher power, the Eternal Fire. ]

[You want this information, don't you? ]

Lu Yuan was silent for a moment, thinking to himself: "It seems that several dozen or even hundreds of years is a relatively normal guess. Otherwise, the demon will definitely judge that I know nothing and use this to raise its own value."

The turtle was stunned.

Is this guy so valuable? He negotiated with this demon? What should I do? It was a little panicked... I, Turtle, can't do anything.

However, Lu Yuan did not dare to take it lightly.

The strongest point of [Demon] lies in its wisdom and unknown abilities.

This is an open conspiracy and also a very risky transaction.

"So, what do you want?" Lu Yuan took a deep breath. It was just a question and he wouldn't lose anything.

[The most basic teaching of the glyph system, how about exchanging a piece of meat? It's been too long, and I also want to taste the food. ]

This is definitely a good deal.

This transaction request made Lu Yuan frown slightly, not knowing what the other party was up to.

If the other party asked for the body of an intelligent life, he would definitely refuse without hesitation.

"No meat, at most I'll give you a bowl of rice."

[No problem! Anything is fine as long as it's food.] The other party readily agreed.

Just a bowl of rice?

Is it really just for eating?

Or is it some other conspiracy? "To make a deal with the devil is like walking on thin ice."

Lu Yuan racked his brains, thinking about various possible problems.

The first is that this mirror demon has the ability to manipulate matter and can use the matter of a bowl of rice to forcibly create a body.

But the probability of this is very low.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

If there really is material manipulation, after so many years, even with the help of carbon dioxide, nitrogen, bacteria in the air, and moss on the wall, a body could be created.

"Mr. Turtle, have you ever fed this demon food?" Lu Yuan asked in a low voice. Of course, it didn't matter if someone heard it.

The turtle was delighted to see Lu Yuan talking to him, and quickly said, "Of course, it asked me to feed it the corpse of the anomaly. It was trapped here and was hungry! I only gave it one hand, and I didn't want to give it the rest."

That is, the demon, having obtained material things, was not out of trouble.

Lu Yuan frowned and thought carefully.

The second possibility is that the other party is creating a "broken window effect" in a psychological sense.

Just like game manufacturers, they often set up "first charge rewards" with generous rewards.

The Broken Window Effect is subtle. Once you have traded once, it will be much easier the second and third time...

If we analyze this situation, it is very likely that the other party is making concessions in this transaction.

[If you don't want to give me a bowl of rice, you can give me a piece of the lowest level spirit crystal to replenish my idealistic energy. ]

The other party added: [Of course you can also trade nothing, everything depends on you. ]

Lu Yuan looked at the old cat and explained what he had heard.

The old cat was also helpless: "I really can't play in the high-level division... You can go to the King level alone."

This game is indeed quite high-end.

The old cat was very hesitant. It felt that it was of no use anymore and was a little sad.

"Actually, I couldn't fight either. I just managed to save my life."

He gritted his teeth and said, "When I get out, I must extort some spoils from the Rize civilization!"

"What can they blackmail? They are very poor." The old cat said, "Oh, I got it! There are a lot of exploded resins in that room. You can pick up some and it will be considered as interest."

"If you don't trade with this demon, you can actually get some spoils."

“That makes sense.”

The two sides, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, once again started to play against each other.

In fact, even if you really want to make a deal with the devil, you have to put some psychological pressure on the other party.

It is said that one who has no desires is strong.

You can't let the devil guess your true thoughts.

The less desire you have, the more anxious the devil will be, and the more concessions he will make.

"The other party definitely has bad intentions and threw out the bait... But I am really just a garbage collector." Lu Yuan thought quickly, "I really just pick up some garbage! What does civilization have to do with me?"

The turtle had no idea what they were doing and kept shrinking his head.

It recalled the time long, long ago when it was revered as a sacred object of civilization... The high priest said that it was the greatest sacred object in the world and the smartest existence.

Then that civilization died, and they didn’t even know why it died…

It recalled the time when it was captured and studied.

At the beginning, it was once again treated as a guest of honor, and was praised with all kinds of boasting.

It was the Immortal Giant Turtle, the greatest existence in the world! But soon, that civilization discovered that only by attacking it could the carvings on its surface be better activated, so the Immortal Giant Turtle suffered inhumane torture!

At this moment, the Immortal Giant Turtle realized.

"The turtle is not actually very smart. It always gets tricked."

"Even the devil thinks that this person is intelligent...Shouldn't I cling to someone smart?"

…

The greedy demon Lu Yuan was eager to take advantage of the treasure in the room.

And there was indeed a lot of resin falling out of the room. At first glance, it seemed that there were three large clumps and dozens of small clumps? The head of the [ghost] was still trying to break through the seal.

That piece of green jelly is slowly collapsing.

And resin is indeed a top-notch good stuff. The tiny bit given by the Rize civilization was picked up with great care, but the resin in this room can be picked up by anyone.

Lu Yuan would not split these things 50-50, he got them by his own ability!

This battle has nothing to do with the people of Rize, it is his own game.

Being able to broadcast the information inside live is a good thing for the people of Rize - there is a [demon] and a [ghost] inside. Your ancestors are too powerful, and we really don't have the strength. You have to find a way to deal with these two guys yourselves.

But he didn't dare to go into the room.

"I will die, or you will go?"

"Comrade, I can't even move..." The old cat said speechlessly, "You can make a pole and slowly poke it in front of the [ghosts] and [demons]. Anyway, they are sealed and can't do anything to you."
