Chapter 558: Chapter 410 We Must Show Our Strength!
The humans pondered for a while and also revealed some information.
“The Underground Alliance lives in this massive crack, which saves a lot of trouble.”
“The outside world is not a smooth sailing heaven; once civilizations meet, the probability of war erupting is extremely high.”
“Because souls and Divine Skills can be sold…”
“Usually, the Mind production capacity of a civilization in one year is still less than the value of one ‘Divine Skill’…this is acknowledged.”
“In addition to this, there are also Catastrophe Level Anomalies, encountering any one of which could lead to the extinction of a race.”
The people from the Underground Alliance grimaced and couldn’t help but begin sweating uncontrollably.
Both humans and the Underground Alliance spoke ambiguously, sufficiently whetting the other’s appetite.
But at the crucial moment, they stopped short.
No helping it, civilization exchanges are this complicated…
Lu Yuan, after listening for a while, went to take a shower, having absolutely no interest in getting involved in this troublesome bargaining.
After a while, the Underground Alliance revealed some more information: “Growing mushrooms underground… is difficult.
“We once wanted to establish a planting base on the surface. But we found… it’s not feasible, without the natural crack environment, these mushrooms just can’t grow.”
“Of course, my alliance has indeed established some planting bases and has stockpiled a lot of mushrooms.”
The underlying implication of this speech was that they possessed items of trade value.
We have what you want!
The human diplomat said: “Spirit Essence is the most basic form of general equivalent. The souls of intelligent life can be converted into Spirit Essence, the higher the Divine Attribute, the greater the amount convertible…”
“Of course, Divine Skills, Extraordinary Items, and all kinds of consumables can also be converted into Spirit Essence.”
“If a civilization wants to develop, it must have sufficient resources. That’s why the rule of Gambling was developed… cough cough, I hope everyone can enhance their understanding through combat and sparring… and I hope the gap between the two sides isn’t too wide…”
Lu Yuan took a hot shower, removing the odors from his body, and reemerged rejuvenated.
He wore Yingyu Armor and carried a Dagger at his waist, lightly armed.
This was not humanity’s best equipment; Lu Yuan did not intend to fight personally, especially since the opposition truly seemed like a Noob Civilization.
He discovered the human diplomats were discussing “Gambling” matters with a large group of Dark Steel People, Snake-men, and Minotaurs.
A diplomat whispered a few words in his ear.
“Oh, mushrooms can’t be grown on the surface?”
“Grotto Heaven… suspected to be created by an ancient civilization?”
“Alright, I understand.” Lu Yuan pondered silently for a while.
Cold weapon combat must be compared, as it involves the levels of civilization development.
A strong civilization cannot possibly have weak individual combat strength.
This happens to be a strong point for the human side, with Field Masters basically representing the limit of individual combat power, under favorable research conditions, only a Third-level Civilization could climb to Level 7.
While Human 18th Civilization, being a Level 2 Civilization and having so many Grandmasters, is indeed quite an achievement, quite an anomaly.
Moreover, in Gambling, if the individual combat strength differs greatly, there’s no need for many matches…
One could try others, like Forging Science, or their unique specialties…
Even have specific comparisons for the power of firearms.
Demonstrate everything, including Hydrogen Bombs, to intimidate the opponents!
No helping it, it’s tough for the weaker ones to survive in this world.
If you do not show your survival value, you can only face Destruction…
After conversing for a while, the negotiation representative from the Underground Alliance, Dadao Gang, was already sweating profusely.
The information unintentionally revealed by mankind really shocked them!
What in the world is this crazy world?
After two civilizations meet, they are likely to kill and plunder Spirit Essence!
And was this set of Gambling rules created to prevent warfare between two armies?
He quickly realized the fact that his side was completely exposed to the outside world and knew nothing. And that humans were actually quite friendly, if it were a malevolent civilization, would they have wasted so much time here?
“Chairman, please arrange the Gambling participants quickly!!”
“We must show our strength!”
Back at the headquarters, after hearing about such a significant event, an urgent joint meeting was convened.
Representatives from 12 races sat around a large round table.
The atmosphere was solemn, the environment quiet. A faint incense, made from special mushrooms and having the effect of stimulating thought and relieving tension, wafted through the air, lingering in the mind like the residual sounds of a harp.
Everyone was racking their brains over the authenticity of the information revealed by humans.
The answer is… it’s very likely true.
Humans really had no need to fabricate such a big lie, just to intimidate the Underground Alliance.
“Friends, no need to panic, our headquarters is located within Grotto Heaven… the location of Grotto Heaven is still confidential.”
“Even if that battle fortress falls, we will only be injured but not extinguished.”
“This is rather a perfect opportunity to understand the external environment!” a representative from a civilization spoke.
This was a race known as “Cross-eyed,” which looked like an octopus with multiple tentacles and a single giant eye on its head.
The world of the Cross-eyed Clan had initially slight Mind phenomena.
