Deal Reached, Bonus Chapter Thirteen

Upon seeing the email from Gu Ding, Elizabeth immediately opened it. She was indeed quite interested in Gu Ding's Limitless Body Technique. If they could be promoted to the entire Hunter team, it would be an effective blow to those high-bounty Interstellar Pirate.

The email was short; Gu Ding's message was brief, just a few sentences. The gist was that he didn't need the Divine Fire Seed and wanted to substitute something else. However, Gu Ding also frankly told Elizabeth that this Limitless Body Technique was extremely difficult to master, and that those who had already mastered the Limitless Body Technique version couldn't master this one. Elizabeth appreciated this honesty.

Upon opening the attachment and seeing the long list of various material names, Elizabeth's smile turned into a wry one.

"Is this kid trying to get us to do a big shopping spree for him?" Medea was speechless when she saw the list. "A total of ninety-seven kinds of materials, and five of them are thirteenth-tier Gene Beast..."

"Let's take a look at this list first, see what we have, and then roughly estimate its value," Elizabeth ordered, and the others immediately got to work.

About half an hour later, the warehouse was ready. It contained 88 out of 97 types of materials, but naturally, it wouldn't have any 13th-tier Gene Beast. In fact, they were only missing four types of materials that Gu Ding and the others wanted.

Elizabeth wrote down the results of her analysis in an email, along with the estimated value. Gu Ding mostly wanted rare materials, and Elizabeth immediately knew why Gu Ding needed them, as most of these materials were very difficult to obtain.

Gu Ding was delighted to receive Elizabeth's reply, as most of the materials needed were available. However, the combined value of all these materials far exceeded that of a single Divine Fire Seed. Gu Ding didn't need many of each material, but because they were all extremely rare, the total value was roughly equivalent to six Divine Fire Seeds.

Gu Ding had the Sea Emperor re-evaluate the prices, and found that the prices Elizabeth had offered were actually reasonable and not inflated. Most of the items were not offered at the highest price at the Auction House.

Elizabeth's letter made it very clear that a set of Limitless Body Technique was not worth that much; if she wanted these materials, she would have to exchange them for something else.

"Let us exchange something else for these materials? She is the Universe Country Ruler. Where are we supposed to find things that she doesn't even have?" Liliath shook her head pessimistically after reading Elizabeth's letter.

"But we must take this opportunity to collect these materials. If we buy them one by one, it might take years to gather them all." Gu Ding knew very well that all the rare materials listed were very difficult to procure. Robert had listed many of these items before, but they were unavailable on many planets. "Sea Emperor, is there any better way?"

"My database just happened to gain advanced access after your upgrade, allowing me to access a large number of God-rank techniques. Even if she is the ruler of a five-star Universe Country, I believe the number of divine abilities she possesses is quite limited." The Sea Emperor finally brought some good news. "Tell her that you can exchange a defensive Two-Star Divine Ability Codex plus Limitless Body Technique for all the materials on her list."

Supernatural powers, also known as divine abilities, are special abilities used by deities. They can evolve from existing special abilities or be directly formed through Mystical Divine Codex. However, very few supernatural powers evolve from existing special abilities; most deities' supernatural powers are formed directly through Mystical Divine Codex. Among these Mystical Divine Codex, defensive types are extremely rare.

Gu Ding revised his wording and replied to Elizabeth's email again.

"Mystical Divine Codex?! He actually has Mystical Divine Codex, and it's even a defensive one?" Medea's first reaction upon seeing the email reply was surprise.

"It seems we don't know him well enough. We've been keeping an eye on him all along, but we didn't even know he had a Mystical Divine Codex." Elizabeth was also a little surprised. She was surprised because she had been following Gu Ding from the beginning and knew about almost every incident Gu Ding caused. So it was a bit puzzling where Gu Ding got the Mystical Divine Codex.

"It's very likely that he stole it from the Witch Clan during that Time Reversal," Medea suggested. She couldn't think of any other place, because they had been following where Gu Ding stayed and what he did each time.

"A two-star defensive Mystical Divine Codex is about the same value as these materials, so it's like we got the Limitless Body Technique for free," Elizabeth said with a smile. "We made a profit on this deal."

"This kid is smart enough not to ask us to add anything." Medea thought that Gu Ding should do the right thing.

"I'll ask them which planet they'll be staying on next, and roughly when, so we can finalize the deal as soon as possible," Elizabeth said, sending the email back again.

"The nearest Administrative Star is about three hours away. Should we make a stopover?" Sea Emperor asked after seeing Elizabeth's email.

"Stop it. The sooner the transaction is completed, the sooner you can feel at ease." Gu Ding nodded.

"Aren't you worried at all that she might turn against us after she gets the Mystical Divine Codex?" Liliath asked.

"I'm not worried," Gu Ding shook his head.

"Why?" Liliath, somewhat confused.

"Because I know she's not that kind of person," Gu Ding gave a very affirmative answer.

After replying to Elizabeth with the time and location, Gu Ding quickly received a reply, "See you in a bit!"

The planet that Gu Ding and his group landed on this time was called Fist Star, a very ordinary planet, just like Deep Sea Star, which was inconspicuous in this universe.

The spaceship quickly docked at the port. After disembarking, Gu Ding discovered that it was a peaceful planet.

The port location meant that everyone lived at a slow pace and it wasn't noisy.

"We've arrived! We'll be waiting for you at the port," Gu Ding texted Elizabeth.

"Coming right away!" Elizabeth replied quickly.

Gu Ding and his group found a tavern at the port, sat down at an outdoor table, ordered drinks, and waited patiently. By then, it was already dark, and the clear starry sky lifted their spirits.

Not long after, the clouds in the sky not far away began to change, slowly forming a vortex shape.

A moment later, a beam of white light pierced through the clouds and landed on the ground. In the darkness of the night, the scene was extremely unusual and attracted the attention of almost everyone within a radius of dozens of miles.

Gu Ding saw a woman in black robes slowly emerge from the white light, her face obscured by the brim of her wide robe. This time, she wasn't projecting her Will Projection, but her true form. This was something Gu Ding hadn't expected.

The people at the port stared in disbelief at the woman who emerged from the light screen. Many of them took a while to realize, "That was a deity who just descended!"

Elizabeth quickly located Gu Ding and his group, appearing in front of Gu Ding in a flash.

Through the brim of the hat, Gu Ding saw that face for the first time in a real sense. She was even more beautiful than in the photos, and her temperament under the black robe was also very different from that in the photos.

"There are too many people here, let's find a quiet place," Elizabeth suggested.

Gu Ding's original plan was to complete the transaction right there, and then both parties would go their separate ways. However, he didn't object to Elizabeth's suggestion. This was normal; no man could say no to her.

But Gu Ding agreed, not for that reason, but because he saw Elizabeth pull her hat brim down, worried that she would be recognized.

The two walked toward a park near the port, a place that was not crowded and perfect for a stroll.

Once inside the park, Gu Ding found a patch of grass to sit down. "There aren't many people here, is this okay?"

"Aren't you worried at all that I might turn against you after I get the Mystical Divine Codex?" Elizabeth asked the same question as Liliath.

"I didn't expect you to ask me the same question as Lily," Gu Ding laughed. "Then I'll give the same answer, don't worry!"

"Why aren't you worried? I'm a god, I can easily wipe out your team," Elizabeth pressed.

"I know you're not that kind of person, just as you know I'm not an irredeemable villain." Gu Ding spoke as if he knew Elizabeth very well. "Besides, you gave me weapons. If it weren't for our opposing identities, perhaps we could have been friends."

The word "friend" seemed somewhat distant to Elizabeth. She looked up at the distant starry sky, silent, as if reminiscing about something.

"Let's make a deal." After a while, Gu Ding felt that the other party should have finished reminiscing, so he spoke up.

Elizabeth handed over a wristwatch. "This is a wristwatch without a password. Although I know the password, it won't stop you. Please check the types and quantities of items. Except for the Energy Amethyst that your ** use, which you requested for 10,000, I put 100,000 in it. Everything else is the same."

The Sea Emperor quickly finished inventorying the items and immediately sent the set of God-rank secret manuals to Elizabeth's email address.

Hearing the notification for a new email, Elizabeth clicked on it and saw the attachment to the email sent by Gu Ding. After flipping through less than two pages, she knew that the manual was genuine.

"It was a pleasure working with you! But next time we meet, we'll be enemies." Elizabeth bluntly stated this before turning and leaving.

"Understood. I will also do my best to escape the Fei Me Universe Country." Gu Ding tossed the wristwatch high into the air, caught it, weighed it in his hand for a moment, and then walked towards the tavern he had been at. (To be continued.)
