Chapter 442: Mr. Gu Chong, it is only the 155th year

[Right now, we are in the negotiation state and the deal is not done yet. You can ask me some questions.]

[I can remain silent, but if I speak, I must tell the truth.]

[You should ask more carefully. If you get cheated, you can't blame me.] Gu Chong was kind-hearted.

Lu Yuan was not polite and asked directly: "Why did you sell it at a low price? Is it just because of a favor?"

This is a really sharp question.

Gu Chong was silent for a while: [First, I am not the protagonist of this era, and I will not be favored by this world...]

[I have to rely on the underground alliance to get a little luck, but you can create your own luck. ]

【This is a world of difference.】

[I will help you now. If you encounter difficulties in the future, you can help me, Gu Chong.]

[Second, keeping this thing will only increase the crisis. At the end of the last era, I was attacked by a [ghost], and it was probably caused by this thing.]

[Information is evil, and treasures are poisonous. The more you get, the greater the crisis in the future.]

【It depends on whether you are willing to bear it. 】

Its tone became low: [If you are afraid, it is okay to throw it away along the way. Anyway, there will definitely be a civilization that will pick it up and make use of it. It is such a big treasure! ]

[But I, the ancient insect, am afraid that I cannot bear this hardship. ]

"Then can I destroy it and transform it into spiritual charm? It is an immortal equipment after all."

[Yes, but I advise you not to do this. ]

"Why?"

[I don't know, I just had this feeling, and I didn't do this even when I was in the most critical moment.]

"Well... this is a hot potato."

Lu Yuan remained silent. He was now the elephant in the room and was already in too much debt to bear.

The level of human cognition is relatively easy to explain. It is just a stronger second-level civilization, and there is still some distance to the third-level civilization.

Lu Yuan’s cognition is really a bit exaggerated. He has dug up too much historical information, but he is still a "myth."

Moreover, the "information is guilty" clause implicitly explains a puzzle: Why did the civilization of the ancient era have to cut off its inheritance in order to survive to the next era? Because cutting off the inheritance is equivalent to destroying the information, so the difficulty of surviving the disaster of the era will become easier.

Even like ordinary animals and plants, they easily survived the disaster in ignorance.

So, what is the epochal disaster? This should be a message of great original sin—knower, die! !

Lu Yuan sighed softly: "So, what about the Underground Alliance? Don't they have any use for this palace?"

"As your direct descendant, why didn't you give it to them, but to me?"

Gu Chong seemed to be stumped by his question and stared at Lu Yuan with his eyes.

I have never seen such a paranoid person. Isn't it good for me to give you something? After a long while, it finally replied: [Alas... they are too lame. It's the middle of the era. They can only forge legends. ]

[Do I still count on them? They can't even cure a little blight.]

Ancient Insect said sadly: [A bunch of losers, the era is over, maybe they are still forging legends. A drop of blood from a [ghost] can destroy them.]

[Unlike you, you have already done some research on [ghosts]. It is better to rely on you. ]

"Ahem..." Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. Humanity was almost wiped out by a drop of blood.

He was about to talk nonsense when he suddenly noticed that the carvings on the table lit up, and he quickly corrected his mind.

In this place, you have the right to remain silent.

But you must be honest in your transactions and not tell lies.

Of course, the power of the Greedy Demon can actually counteract the lie detector mechanism of the Heavenly Palace.

But when fighting against this suppression, the glyph will change, even flash brightly, and everyone will know you are talking nonsense, and then you will be embarrassed.

So he pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Gu Chong, it's only the 155th year now. I don't know if the news about the middle of the era is accurate. But I think the potential of the Underground Alliance is not bad. You don't have to underestimate yourself."

Not that he was morally superior.

It's better to make things clear for things like this to avoid unnecessary hassles later.

This palace is indeed a good thing, but it carries too many causes and effects. Its "toxicity" may be quite high. If you take it rashly, you will increase the risk unnecessarily.

[I know, I have been sleeping for 15,500 years...] Gu Chong said affectionately, [I have held on for so long, even if I have no credit, I have worked hard.]

[I am not proficient in arithmetic, but I can still do simple addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. They really don't have much potential, so they should think of a way to survive to the next era.]

"No, no, no, it's the 155th year of Pangu Continent now."

"I can't lie here. It's the 155 years of Pangaea. There's no need to expand it 100 times. But it seems to be the middle of the era. It's the 'God' in the sky who said that."

Such a huge fairy palace suddenly became silent!

What are you talking about? You must be lying to me! The pair of black compound eyes stared at Lu Yuan as if he was looking at a freak. Could it be that the Underground Alliance really has potential? Did I wrongly blame them?

Six insect legs dug the ground.

etc!

Then...what about you? 155 years, why are you already a legend? "I am the first legend of the Ninth Epoch, the Greedy Demon." Lu Yuan sat on the chair, shaking his head, "Isn't it okay? There must be a first in the world, right? Maybe there is already a second, or a third?"

The huge brain of the ancient insect fell into an unknown state. 155 years of mythology, 20,000 points of luck, what is this concept? And what about... the middle of the era? This series of keywords made it dizzy and wanted to curse, "How dare you deceive the insect."

But this palace of trading information cannot lie openly. It has no doubt about this function.

If all this is true, what does it mean?

[Greedy Demon? ]

It originally had no expectations for many things and just lived day by day.

Its IQ is not high. Compared with those cunning creatures, it is indeed just an ordinary creature. The name of this phenomenon, "insect", does not sound very good and is not as good as creatures like "ghost" and "devil".

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

But the Ninth Era is said to be the last era, and there are some things that cannot be avoided even if you want to.

Gu Chong...fell into deep thought.

Its brain is about to boil!

The two antennas shook for a moment, and it suddenly began to beg: [From this perspective, the Underground Alliance is still inferior to human civilization. It’s just right to give it to you! ]

[In addition to 10 points of luck, can you give me another 10,000 spiritual charms? No, one million, right? ]

[My pockets are empty. I need to repair my body. You should have plenty of spiritual energy, right? It's not too much if you give me more, right? ]

Lu Yuan was so shocked that he almost fell off the stool. This old man was really thick-skinned.

After a long while, he finally said, "Senior, forging a myth is not an easy task. I have already used up all my capital."

"If I give you another 10,000 Lingyun, you can't live your own life?"

"Don't you know how precious 10,000 spiritual charms of the 155th year are? The most I can give you is 300! It's the medical expenses I worked so hard to earn, and I'm paying you back. No more."

It's amazing that his words were not judged as a lie, especially the sentence "use up all the capital", which shows that Lu Yuan really thought so.

In other words, this judgment mechanism is actually one's own subconscious cognition.

If subconsciously, what you say is true, even if it does not match the objective facts, the Immortal Palace will not react too much.

This can actually be manipulated - why not just modify your own memory?

Of course, the reason for this loophole is that Asgard's power is still limited.

If it can even tell whether a sentence is an "objective fact", then it is simply an omniscient and omnipotent source of information, and it must be an unknown level above "myth". To give a simple example, an old man keeps testing "I can live to 100 years old", "I can live to 101 years old", and these tests are equivalent to predicting the future? Or if he talks nonsense there, "Riemann hypothesis is true", "Goldbach hypothesis is true", if Asgard can even detect these, wouldn't it directly become a supreme scientific research machine?

These things are naturally impossible to do. "Asgard" is just a subconscious detection mechanism, plus some tiny, possibly common-sense-based detection mechanisms.

As a result, Gu Chong was not greedy: [Okay, 10 points of luck, plus 300 spiritual charm, in exchange for the fairy palace. That's it, if you agree, it's a deal.]

[With great power comes great responsibility. The future is yours, Greedy Demon.]

In the end, Lu Yuan did not refuse this temptation.

In fact, humans don’t know as much information as he does.

If it really doesn't work, he can just leave humanity and face the disaster alone at the end of the era.

"How can I, the Greedy Demon, be afraid of danger? It has come to this."

"What information is poisonous? I will even eat poison..."

"Even if you don't use the fancy trading function, the space glyphs on it alone are worth the money!"

He once again input 300 points of spiritual energy.

Then he signed his own name [Greedy Demon Lu Yuan].

The ancient insect also signed his name - [Ancient Original Insect].

The space shuttle function of the Immortal Palace actually costs money, but it does not require "luck", ordinary spiritual charm is enough.

However, at such a close distance, there was no need to spend any money. With a flash of golden light, the golden paper with exquisite paintings engraved on it was transported to his desk.

The 10 points of luck and 300 spiritual charm were transmitted to the ancient insect and turned into a sparkling bead.

The guy didn't hesitate and swallowed it in one gulp, smiling happily.

He threw away a hot potato, got some money, and even repaid the life-saving grace, killing three birds with one stone.

I am Gu Chong, so smart! (End of this chapter)
