96: The effect of spiritual energy, Long Feiyang's murderous intention

If the leader of the Huan Guang Technology Sanctuary was truly invincible in combat and had a lazy personality, yearning for a peaceful life, then he really had no need to provoke him.

However, the country simply couldn't produce that much steel for trade right now, which made Zhou Qingxia very hesitant.

Auxiliary System: [Host, you can reason with him. If he truly cares about the country's development, he is actually quite amenable to discussion, and there is still room for the price to drop. It’s not impossible for it to go down to twice the original amount.]

"Amenable to discussion?" Zhou Qingxia scoffed, dismissing the idea. She sneered, "Didn't he get angry before and convert the funds for trading grain into equivalent raw materials?"

Auxiliary System: [He is someone who responds to gentleness but not coercion. As long as you don't actively provoke or oppress him, he won't actively harm others. At that time, your people sent someone to blockade the trading hall, which angered him. Besides selling goods, he can also help build various types of buildings. Furthermore, he can provide many high-level goods that help strengthen the body, improve strength, and prolong life.]

"Strengthen the body, improve strength, and prolong life?" Zhou Qingxia's eyes widened, clearly not expecting that person to also sell such precious items.

She thought, if these things could be used on her uncles, that would be wonderful.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qingxia couldn't help but get excited. No matter what, she had to find a way to buy these types of goods.

However, she hadn't seen any trace of such goods in the mobile phone mall.

Auxiliary System: [Host, you can also improve and Spiritualize others' physiques by exchanging for spiritual energy, which can also prolong life.]

Hearing this, Zhou Qingxia's eyes brightened even more, and she asked expectantly, "Then how much spiritual energy is needed to Spiritualize one person?"

The Auxiliary System replied, "You need to prepare spiritual energy equal to ten times the individual's body weight for Spiritualization, and there will be some loss during the Spiritualization process, so roughly eleven times the body weight in spiritual energy is needed."

Zhou Qingxia was speechless after hearing this. Didn't this mean that eleven criminals of similar weight would be needed to Spiritualize one person?

She shook her head firmly, convinced that criminals must be tried according to the law and that private lynching must never be used.

Comparatively, she felt that exchanging with steel was more cost-effective. Although she wasn't sure to what extent the high-level goods that person could provide would improve physique and longevity, it was better than exchanging with human lives.

Seeing this situation, the Auxiliary System finally compromised reluctantly: [The Host can also exchange for spiritual energy through materials. One ton of material can be exchanged for five kilograms of spiritual energy. However, the more materials consumed in this way, the greater the damage to this planet. Of course, the Host can also go to the Other World through the Sanctuary to collect materials, or find other Justicers to cooperate in finding materials. After all, he is the one who needs raw materials the most to offset his costs.]

The Auxiliary System had already determined that this new Host was a stubborn person.

"Exchanging for spiritual energy? Other World?" Zhou Qingxia's eyes were full of curiosity and inquiry when she heard these two new terms.

After hearing the Auxiliary System's subsequent explanation about exchanging for spiritual energy, she decisively gave up on that idea.

After all, consuming planetary resources to exchange for spiritual energy was simply not worth the gain.

So, Zhou Qingxia's entire interest shifted to the mysterious concept of the "Other World."

Through the Auxiliary System's detailed explanation, she learned that worlds are divided into levels, and the world she was in belonged to the lowest level, where spiritual energy was extremely scarce.

The Other World that the Sanctuary could go to had to match her own strength, otherwise it would be very dangerous.

At the same time, she also learned that many Other Worlds were deeply mired in various crises, even on the verge of extinction, and although full of dangers, the unclaimed material resources within them were the most abundant.

Zhou Qingxia exited the virtual world, slowly opened her eyes, and what met her gaze was Long Feiyang opposite her, who was currently looking at her body with an appreciative gaze.

"Pervert!" Zhou Qingxia was immediately both shy and annoyed, hastily covering her chest with her hands, while glaring at Long Feiyang with a look of disgust, secretly speculating that she had probably been watched like this for a long time.

Although there was no aggression in his gaze, it still made her feel completely uncomfortable.

Long Feiyang never expected Zhou Qingxia to immediately curse him and look at him with disgust as soon as she opened her eyes.

His face instantly darkened, feeling displeased, so he turned his head away, no longer looking at her.

Seeing this, Zhou Qingxia secretly felt that this person was truly strange.

However, she was the first to break the deadlock, taking the initiative to ask, "I heard you have goods that can enhance physique and longevity, but why didn't I see them in the mobile phone mall?"

Hearing this, Long Feiyang suddenly stood up, his face becoming extremely unsightly, and he questioned nervously, "How do you know?"

He couldn't help but feel suspicious, secretly wondering: [Did that Auxiliary System tell Zhou Qingxia? Why would it do that? Aren't all my secrets exposed?]

Thinking of this, Long Feiyang's killing intent instantly arose, and his powerful telekinesis was released, tightly binding Zhou Qingxia.

Zhou Qingxia suddenly felt a strong discomfort, difficulty breathing, and her whole body felt as if it was tightly bound by invisible ropes, unable to move.

At this moment, she truly realized that this man, as the leader of a mysterious organization, was by no means benevolent, and was precisely the kind of person the Auxiliary System had warned her not to easily provoke.

Fear instantly surged into her heart, her eyes filled with terror, and she sighed inwardly.

Her life had just begun, and there were still many beautiful things she hadn't experienced. How could she be willing to die like this?

If she truly had to die here, it should be for the country, for justice, and certainly not to be killed so inexplicably and resentfully by someone.

The Auxiliary System, sensing that Zhou Qingxia's life was threatened, quickly explained to her through its sub-system.

Auxiliary Sub-system: [Host, don't worry. The main system only informed Zhou Qingxia about the relevant goods and the Host's strength, and did not reveal the Host's identity or other secrets. This sub-system has always strictly guarded others' privacy, unless it is a the malicious one.]

This sudden mechanical voice echoed in Zhou Qingxia's mind, while Long Feiyang frowned, his face full of suspicion.

He simply dared not easily trust this Auxiliary System, which had always had a bad attitude towards him, and even less would he easily trust the Auxiliary Sub-system left by the Auxiliary System.

If his identity had truly been exposed, then if he let Zhou Qingxia go today, his family, especially his beloved wife and daughter Yaoyao, would certainly be in great danger in the future. He absolutely could not take that risk.

Long Feiyang was about to imprison Zhou Qingxia in the prison artifact.
