206: Core value!

"The indigenous will to survive is truly moving!"

Ister said as he looked at the current Ye Su;

"But the indigenous people's assessment of themselves is also blind."

"You must understand, your value compared to the Golden Crow is roughly... in your Blue Star terms... the difference between a grain of sand and a diamond."

He was being mocked.

Yet there was nothing he could do.

Ye Su had found Ister, but this was the only response he received.

"Actually, I have a very resolute proposal,"

Ye Su said;

"For instance, if I were to kill all living beings on Blue Star in a short period of time, how about I leave this Mutated Planet to you?"

"In that case, I would leave Blue Star to make a living in the Universe. Do you think that has value?"

Ister's eyes narrowed.

This person seemed to be testing the fundamental operations of the Universe.

Interests.

That was the core of the Universe.

If the life on Blue Star died out, the difficulty of collecting and aggregating timing would inevitably increase.

This was inconsistent with their core interests.

Of course.

If you could provide a large enough profit...

The Wang Clan selling your Blue Star's timing?

You must be joking.

I could directly pull several Mutated Planets over for you to eat.

Eat heartily, one for each person, eat until you're full, eat until you die!

But.

The indigenous are poor!

Dirt poor.

"Ahem... I take back one thing. For now, your being alive still has a bit of value."

Ister said;

"For example, helping to deceive the timing."

"This is beneficial for us to collect and sell it."

"You should know, the next customer will be here very soon."

Ye Su nodded.

The value system was basically clear now.

The Wang Clan and the Golden Crow Clan were not in a seamless, pure partnership.

After all, the Wang Clan had other customers behind them.

So...

Where was the way to break the deadlock?

"After the Golden Crow hangs through the entire mutation process, they'll receive another payment, right?"

Ye Su said;

"After all, without them, the planetary mutation cannot continue."

Suddenly.

Ister's temperament changed somewhat.

He shifted from a customer manager to a cold-faced killer.

This sentence...

...touched upon the long-term profit distribution between the Wang Clan and the Golden Crow Clan.

Ister often lamented that the Golden Crow Clan was practically hand-fed by the heavens.

Relying purely on talent, they could take a significant share of the profits from the Wang Clan's hands.

Mutated Planets needed them for maintenance.

This was almost indispensable.

After all, if they collaborated with the Mechanical Race and used their Psionic Star Technology, the costs would be even higher—so high they would almost make no profit!

This Ye Su...

...had something to him!

The core of the Universe was profit!

---"Think, you stubborn brains, think fast---"

In the Su Hang Think Tank hall, everyone's brain temperature was rapidly rising.

Ye Su wasn't thinking about these things alone.

Signals within the timing Domain would not be captured by Ister, so behind him, the entire Think Tank was thinking in synchronization.

Every word and every expression from Ister was being transmitted through signals and frantically decoded!

"There's a subtle change in his expression..."

"Take note, he's becoming alert; his contempt for the indigenous is disappearing."

"The core, quickly think of the core key."

"Profit is the supreme Law of the Universe!"

"Try to pluck the string of the long-term profit sharing between the Wang Clan and the Golden Crow Clan!"

"If... if we have another way to keep the Golden Crow hanging in the sky without them sharing the timing, could we incite a war between the Universe's Ghost Race and the Golden Crow Clan?"

"Can this plan generate enough profit to make the two races go to war?"

"There are many Mutated Planets; Ister just revealed that."

"This isn't just a short-term profit; it's a super long-term profit!"

"But if two Universe races go to war, the profit consumed would be even greater!"

"The costs of the wars the Beacon Nation started for oil have already exceeded the value of the oil itself, so why did they still do it? Profits aren't calculated like that; this involves a monopoly!"

"For the Universe's Ghost Race, a method to monopolize the acquisition of timing from Mutated Planets is enough to tempt them!"

"It's like plotting with a tiger for its skin!"

"If we don't plot, we die!"

"Who cares what happens later? After I'm dead, let the floods tower to the heavens!"

"Survival is most important!"

---"It seems you've already reached a decision."

Ye Su smiled;

"After all, if the Golden Crow could stay in the sky without sharing the profits, that would be a direction for a monopoly for you."

"If the Universe truly values profit so heavily..."

"Then—the value of a monopoly would be incredibly high!"

Ister admitted it.

He was tempted!

Monopoly.

In the Universe, as long as it was related to those two words, it represented massive profits.

So, how could they make the Golden Crow stop sharing the timing while still obediently hanging in the sky?

Heh.

Did you think the Wang Clan hadn't tried?

Killing the Golden Crow and using its corpse to replace the sun...

The result...

...was that it didn't work!

A monopoly wasn't that easy to achieve.

Even so.

To achieve such a monopoly plan...

...it seemed that even starting a war would be acceptable.

The value of Mutated Planets was truly very, very high!

"Tsk tsk... I'm a bit looking forward to the indigenous people's performance."

Ister said with a smile.

'Damn it, I'll get you sooner or later.'

Ye Su was very displeased seeing that face.

But for now, there was nothing he could do.

Of course.

This exchange could be considered as having grasped a bit of their lifeblood.

Profit above all else.

This Universe was actually quite adorable.

As long as you don't talk to me about things like affection, loyalty, or bonds, then anything goes; there's always a way.

"Then... we shall wait and see."

Ye Su left.

The intelligence gained this time was too critical.

As for saying Ister was just playing with him...

Don't be ridiculous.

To put it another way, someone like him deals with hundreds of thousands every second; he truly doesn't have time to play around with you.

Oil breeds mold.

Interests breed rifts.

A very interesting plan had already taken shape in Ye Su's mind.

What remained was to begin the arrangements.

There were still 11 days until Tomb Sweeping Day.

These 11 days...

...should be enough.

---Spiritual Qi Technology.

Gradually taking shape.

Li Qing looked at the Spirit Stone conversion plan before him and felt a shock as if he were seeing a work of genius.

When Professionals used Spiritual Qi to fight, the speed at which Spiritual Qi flowed through the body was never mentioned.

Now.

Li Qing could provide the answer;

300,000 kilometers per second!

In the presence of a medium, the transmission speed of Spiritual Qi was almost identical to that of electrons.

No, it was even purer than electrons.

A tiny bit faster than light.

300,000 kilometers, an integer!

"After the mutation, physics seemed to have collapsed."

"It turns out the Universe's core limit was breached!"

"300,000 kilometers is the limit."

"Just a tiny bit faster than light."

"It's exactly this tiny bit that caused the entire physical world to collapse!"

"Now..."

With a foundation, the entire physical world would be stacked up once more!

This.

Was the so-called Spiritual Qi Technology!

It was also the beginning of Blue Star's formal integration with the Universe!
