Nanobots

"Ding dong~ 'This is Ben Laxative speaking, go ahead.'" The style of this online shop was a complete 180-degree turn. Previous shops greeted customers with a warm, "Hello esteemed guest," carrying a strong Taobao vibe. This time, however, it completely broke Kerry's traditional concept.

Kerry focused his gaze. Not only was the way the person spoke distinctive, but the person himself was also quite unique, with bulging eyes, an exaggerated pug nose, and a thick headscarf wrapped around a long head.

At first glance, Damn, this alien is really ugly. Upon closer inspection, Holy crap, this looks like an Earthling who mutated into an alien species. Could it be that Laxative makes people uglier?

"If you have something to say, say it. If not, I have business to attend to." The deep, slow tone was also quite distinctive. However, Kerry had indeed been stunned for a bit too long. Prompted by Ben Laxative, he quickly replied.

"Hi, hello. I see you specialize in Griffons here. I have a Griffon that's having some issues, and I was wondering if you might have something here that could help me solve it."

Kerry didn't dare to immediately ask how to raise a Griffon that had been pregnant for 10 years. Instead, he took a slightly more roundabout approach. With just this brief interaction, Kerry felt that the other party wasn't easy to deal with. It would be better to proceed with his plan under the guise of buying something.

"What's the situation? I don't have professional Griffon care items here. If your Griffon is disobedient, then just give it a dose of Nanobots." Ben Laxative seemed to only sell Griffons and had virtually no other after-sales services.

"A dose of Nanobots? No, my Griffon is very obedient. I have a Beast Ring to help manage it. It's just that my Griffon has been pregnant for 10 years. I've checked the Griffon husbandry manual before, but it doesn't mention how to raise a Griffon that's been pregnant for 10 years. I thought you might have a solution..."

Kerry didn't voice the latter half of his thought, "It seems you don't have a solution either." Instead, he saw Ben Laxative's already bulging eyes bulge even further, and his gaze turned fierce, as if he were about to devour Kerry. Therefore, Kerry's voice grew softer as he spoke, eventually trailing off without finishing.

"Pregnant for 10 years, and it still hasn't been born?" Although Ben Laxative's voice remained deep and slow, Kerry could detect a hint of anxiety and apprehension within it.

"It hasn't been born yet. The doctor said it's just malnutrition and that eating more supplements would be good, but I'm not sure what kind of supplements to use," Kerry replied honestly.

"I'll give you 200,000. Sell that Griffon to me." Kerry answered Ben Laxative's question, but Ben Laxative didn't answer Kerry's question. Instead, he directly made an offer to buy it.

There's a problem here. At this point, Kerry wasn't a naive newcomer. Having been a supermarket CEO since he was 28 in his previous life, he wouldn't just focus on the immediate situation. Selling something that cost 100 Points for a 2000-fold profit.

He needed to at least understand why there was a 2000-fold profit.

"This is a Griffon I've raised since I was a child. It's family. I can't sell it." Of course, if it were a 20,000-fold profit, I might consider it. Kerry wasn't entirely sure if he could resist the temptation of a 20,000-fold profit.

But since someone wanted to buy, he had to name an exorbitant price. Calling it family was just a common tactic. Kerry felt he had almost moved himself with that statement, wondering inwardly how much the other party would raise the offer.

"Then never mind. You don't want to buy anything, and you don't want to sell anything. We have nothing to discuss. Goodbye." Ben Laxative said and was about to hang up.

"Wait, I'm very interested in the Nanobots you just mentioned. Won't you introduce them?" You clearly know about the 10-year pregnant Griffon, and it's a very valuable Griffon, otherwise, you wouldn't have made such a high offer to acquire it.

If you don't raise the price now, I'll consider my previous effort a waste. But I can't just leave like this. I haven't figured out why it's so expensive, why it's so expensive?

"Here's the introduction to Nanobots. How much do you want to buy?" Ben Laxative sent Kerry the product information for their affiliated items. Before Kerry could figure out how to ask about the Griffon, he pretended to read the introduction to the Nanobots.

Nanobots are a malicious tool researched and developed by terrorists who want to destroy the world. People injected with Nanobots lose their sense of fear and pain, and they are completely loyal, doing whatever they are told.

But this loyalty comes at a price: they lose their sentience, and it becomes almost impossible for them to improve their strength in the future.

This tool was once listed as prohibited military hardware. However, a monster merchant later proved that this agent was not as terrifying as it seemed and would not affect the balance of power between dimensions.

Firstly, the subjects using this agent are originally creatures of the local space. Moreover, creatures that have used it will lose their potential for improvement, so this agent will not break the balance of power in the space it is used.

Then he presented the experimental results from monsters. This "echo worm" (Nanobots) like tool can greatly reduce the difficulty of taming monsters. Many monsters have limited growth potential, such as magic wolves, magic lions, and magic tigers. If they don't consume rare treasures worth tens or hundreds of times their own value, they are just common pets.

But to invest in these low-value pets, you need expensive Beast Rings and contracts, which will restrict the transaction volume for merchants.

If Nanobots, which are cheap, are used on these common pets, these pets will quickly become very obedient, saving the need for high-end taming tools like Beast Rings and contracts.

Many merchants agreed. Later, the Nanobots were removed from the military sales restriction and widely used by monster merchants as essential tools.

Note: Before use, the target must be completely incapacitated. The higher the intelligence of the creature, the stronger its resistance to Nanobots. It is recommended to first render the target unconscious. If unconsciousness does not work, severely injure the target.

There is a restriction on magical transactions or pet transactions here. The Dimensional Exchange clearly stipulates restrictions on weapon transactions, but when the number of monsters is large, they can also be considered as weapons of war. Therefore, there is a quantity limit for every magical transaction opening.

The transaction price of Nanobots is basically set by the manufacturer: 1 Point for 10 portions. For Kerry, this is equivalent to 10 Silver Coins per portion of Nanobots.

Edit the loyalty target on the syringe, then give it a shot, and the target will become an echo worm from then on, with the price being no potential whatsoever; they'll be like this for life.

Kerry didn't pay much attention to this thing at first. Things for taming Griffons were probably just like that.

But he didn't expect it to be a divine artifact. For Kerry, he didn't need subordinates with potential to cultivate slowly right now. His current influence was too small. A large number of echo worms would be more helpful for his development.

The first thing Kerry thought of was the more than 160 pirates he had captured. They could quickly become more than 160 echo worms. Then they could mine sea minerals, and many things could be done by them. The Miner Robots could operate at full capacity just to mine.

The more he thought about it, the more excited Kerry became. Feeling flush with cash, he decisively placed an order: "Boss, give me 200 portions first."
