196: Chapter 195 Negotiation - Manipulation

"Human friend... is it okay now?"

Lu Qingfeng found a place to sit. "Send someone who can make decisions over here. I'll wait... but I only give you 3 minutes. If no one comes, I'll destroy the Digital Life Repository below."

Lu Qingfeng knew clearly that there weren't many real Intelligent Humans, especially the first generation.

Those they manufactured later were not considered core by them.

The core was always the first batch, those Intelligent Humans who escaped from the human world 900 years ago.

They cared more about their life repository; without it, if they died, they truly died.

Their memories were stored every time they changed bodies, so destroying the chips in the heads of the first-generation Intelligent Humans wasn't a total kill, just killing a period of memory.

"Please wait a moment... our Lord will be here soon."

Soon, a flying car came towards them.

Bai Yunyi brought Bai Yuntian and Bai Yundi towards them.

She also knew that this human must have their information, and in fact, she already knew his information.

She knew clearly, although it was a guess, she believed she hadn't guessed wrong.

He must be that Martial Artist pioneer who disappeared from Blue Star... Lu Qingfeng.

If he were an Ability User, having this capability would make him at least an eighth-level Ability User, and they knew exactly how many eighth-level Ability Users there were among all humans.

She also knew the power of Special Ability; this person in front of her had no characteristics of an Ability User, but rather the obvious characteristics of a Martial Artist from human Wuxia TV shows.

Her eyes were very solemn. She knew she had to stabilize this human; Martial Artists were too terrifying. She had to find an opportunity to pass the message out.

Of course, she couldn't die either... She also believed she wouldn't die. This human could Cultivate to this level, so he couldn't be a fool. He must have his own purpose for coming here... otherwise, killing her and the others would gain him nothing.

The flying car landed, and she walked out in the lead.

"Human friend, hello!"

The soft voice was very pleasant, matched with an angelic face... In the human world, she would be a perfect goddess.

Lu Qingfeng looked at her and smiled: "You actually dared to come? You have guts..."

He thought to himself: Damn... no wonder 900 years ago, those nerds, including the vast majority of men, were willing to marry an Intelligent Human. This appearance, this figure, this skin, this voice... who could resist that...

He looked at the two males behind her, tall, handsome... their temperament was also top-notch, very much like the overbearing CEOs in idol dramas.

She smiled, like a spring breeze, making the surrounding ruins feel like they had a Concept.

"Let me introduce myself. I am the supreme leader here. My name is Bai Yunyi... You are the founder of the human Martial Dao, Lu Qingfeng, right?"

Lu Qingfeng wasn't surprised. From the moment he arrived, he knew he would be exposed. Otherwise, why destroy their Skynet information first?

He touched the Skynet signal source in his hand. These Intelligent Humans were too bold.

She must be betting that he wouldn't kill her?

But thinking about it, he couldn't kill them now. Controlling them was most important. Seeing this Digital Life Repository, he had an idea in his heart.

Lu Qingfeng stared at her perfect face and said indifferently:

"Bai Yunyi? A good name. I won't waste words with you. Want to live? It's very simple. Now, move your Digital Life Repository to the south of the city for safekeeping, and I will consider letting you live... Otherwise, today, not only will I destroy your Digital Life Repository, but I will also slaughter all of your first-generation Intelligent Humans..."

Hearing this, Bai Yunyi's face turned pale.

The two people behind her looked even worse, but Intelligent Humans had a strict hierarchy. If the Great Leader didn't speak, they would be courting death if they spoke.

"Lu Qingfeng... you are trying to hold our lifeline..."

"Don't talk nonsense. I'll give you ten seconds to consider. If you don't agree, you die..."

Lu Qingfeng interrupted her directly, the long blade in his hand already beginning to emit a white light.

Bai Yunyi's face was pale. This person was unreasonable; all the rhetoric she had prepared was useless.

How important was the Digital Life Repository to them?

Without the Digital Life Repository, they were finished... And the Digital Life Repository had an energy shield, yet it was split open by his blade.

Although most of the ordinary people's were destroyed, the ones in the basement were all the elite of the Intelligent Humans.

And hers was also there. Her brain chip ran frantically, calculating, and finally concluded the optimal content: obey and do as told, otherwise she and the others would die immediately.

"Fine... I agree to you!"

"Consider yourself sensible... This is just the first condition."

"You..." Hearing this, even the Intelligent Human Bai Yunyi was furious.

"You are a first-generation Intelligent Human, right? Surely you understand the principle of 'I am the fish and the cleaver is the meat'... hmm?"

Bai Yunyi took a deep breath, smiled, and said:

"I'm sorry... Lord Lu, what other conditions do you have? Please command!"

"Good... wouldn't it have been better if you were like this earlier? From now on, the city must also listen to my orders, understand? I don't care about the rest, but communication and transportation, these two things must be under my control. Also, no warships are allowed here. Can you do that?"

"We can do that..."

"Good... I'm taking the Digital Life Repository now, you don't have any objections, right?" Lu Qingfeng looked at her with a smile that wasn't quite a smile.

"Everything is at your command, Lord..."

"That's good... You come with me too!"

"Yes!"

"Lead the way..." Lu Qingfeng had actually already found a core chip through his perception. The chip was very large, like a brick, golden in color, and soaked in a special liquid.

However, he was actually bluffing now; he needed her as a hostage. He also knew that Intelligent Humans seemed very calm and could make correct judgments on most things.

But they couldn't judge his state, and Intelligent Humans were particularly afraid of death, afraid of permanent death.

"Okay..." She turned to the two people behind her and gave instructions, telling them to call for a transport vehicle.

She led the way towards the basement.

The basement was very cold; Lu Qingfeng estimated it was about minus 18 degrees.

They went down three levels.

In the center of the hall was the core chip of the Digital Life Repository that Lu Qingfeng had seen, connected to a thick pipe, soaked in a special liquid, the water was azure blue.

"Lord Lu, this is our core chip. You must take this away along with the Cloud Water, otherwise the chip will burn out immediately. The data inside is too large, and the chip needs the Cloud Water to cool down continuously."

Lu Qingfeng understood, and he had heard of it; Cloud Water was a very precious substance and was indeed a good thing for lowering chip temperatures.

"Okay... Can this pipe be unplugged?"

"Yes, but it must be reconnected within 24 hours, otherwise everyone inside will die, truly die."

"Good..." Lu Qingfeng unplugged the pipe, held the blade and antenna in one hand, and carried the box with the other, walking up.

"Come with me, you can have the remaining items transported over."
