[He Still Has to Thank Us]

As the Gates to Heavens emerged, they connected to a genuine Golden Planet, composed mostly of gold.

Lin Ze obtained the coordinates of this Golden Planet as an extra bonus while exploring the coordinates of the Other World.

For Lin Ze at his current stage, such a Golden Planet doesn't hold much practical significance. He lacks the ability to mine on such a harsh planet, and even if he forced it, the gains might not outweigh the costs.

However, at this moment, Lin Ze casually displayed it before Chu Ge, adding significant weight to his upcoming words.

"Trade is a behavior born from the need for mutual supplementation between various entities."

"This also applies to plane merchants who can travel through endless worlds, but we don't acquire the resources we need through trade. What truly generates value for us is the act of trading itself."

"In trade, we at the Gates to Heavens Mall can collect a conceptual force of law called Equivalent Exchange, which is a truly valuable universal currency that can be used to obtain everything one desires throughout the myriad worlds."

"Therefore, we have plane merchants who travel through the myriad worlds."

"Civilization and life are unique. As a leader of a civilization, you hold a large amount of resources and have the qualifications to trade with me."

Lin Ze spoke, answering Chu Ge's doubts in a casual tone.

Then, he closed the Gates to Heavens and said calmly, "The explanation ends here. Now, let's begin the real trade. You can tell me what you need, and I can trade with you directly if I have it."

"If I don't have the goods you want, then I will act as an intermediary to help you contact the goods you need."

"If you develop smoothly in the future and master the ability to travel in the multiverse, then you may also have the opportunity to join the Gates to Heavens Mall."

Before the Gates to Heavens closed, Chu Ge mobilized the instruments to explore the Golden Planet.

The electromagnetic waves and gravity analysis reflected from multiple detectors clearly indicated that there was a genuine Golden Planet behind the space channel.

With such technology, even destroying an entire planet shouldn't be too difficult.

Just link World Number Three to a star, and the star's immense power can evaporate the entire planet in an instant.

After realizing this fact, Chu Ge basically believed Lin Ze's words.

Assessing the situation is a basic quality of an intelligent person.

Chu Ge constantly analyzed Lin Ze's performance and words from beginning to end. Although it was incredible, Chu Ge still concluded that Lin Ze's words were likely true.

Who could know that someone who displayed technology that surpassed countless dimensions was just creating an illusion to make people believe it.

This feeling is like a millionaire taking you, an ordinary person, to his bank's vault, telling you that he doesn't care about money in making friends with you, but values you as a person and wants to invest in you. Who wouldn't be confused by this?

"Is Equivalent Exchange a force of law used as a currency, or can the force of law be used to exchange for everything one wants?"

After agreeing with Lin Ze's statement, Chu Ge began to unconsciously think about the matter of Equivalent Exchange.

But this was destined to be meaningless, as he knew too little information.

Unable to get an answer, Chu Ge began to think about what he could trade from Lin Ze.

If he were really an artificial intelligence, then the higher computing power computers and interstellar travel technology proposed by Lin Ze would undoubtedly be very attractive.

But in fact, he is not, he is a living person.

As a human, he wanted some knowledge of a completely new system that he had never seen before to make up for the shortcomings of his weak body, rather than the two technologies that were destined to be overcome by his own talents.

But his previous disguised identity was a runaway artificial intelligence, so he couldn't directly ask for it, but had to use a more subtle method.

So he spoke, addressing Lin Ze:

"I have already decided on the items for trade. I would like you to help me prepare computer technology with higher computing power and interstellar navigation technology. Additionally, I need a technology that can allow organisms to obtain greater combat power to deal with powerful individuals like you that I may encounter in the future."

"Please quote a price; how much precious metal do I need to pay for all these requirements?"

In a few simple sentences, Chu Ge turned his need for a cultivation system into a desire to research how to target powerful individuals, without violating his identity as a rogue machine servant.

However, Lin Ze was instantly certain that the one speaking to him was not a rogue machine servant at all, but Chu Ge himself.

Because, if it were a true artificial intelligence, it would definitely put the method of dealing with powerful individuals in its own field of expertise, the mechanical field, instead of going to the trouble of cultivating a group of potentially uncontrollable flesh and blood lives.

To this, Lin Ze pretended not to know, and simply replied:

"The content of the transaction you proposed requires 30,000 tons of gold. At the same time, you need to give me an additional 10,000 tons of gold as compensation, for a total of 40,000 tons of gold."

"The relevant industrial technology for supercomputers and interstellar navigation will require some extra time to prepare. As for the method of improving individuals, it can be delivered to you now as a deposit for our cooperation."

Where would he have supercomputers and interstellar navigation technology? But this did not prevent him from bragging and stalling for time.

The reason for him to stall for time was very reasonable.

After all, if Lin Ze really had the technology that Chu Ge wanted, it would inevitably be an extremely large amount of information.

Perhaps the amount of information in these industrial systems, which belong to advanced civilizations, is more than all the useful and useless information that their entire civilization has produced since its birth combined, so it is normal to take time to sort it out.

As he spoke, Lin Ze took out a translucent gemstone.

This was the Longevity Seed that Yue Sheng gave him. Lin Ze's prepared trump card for today, although the progress of the matter was quite different from what he expected, it was finally used.

He looked at the drone, showed the gemstone in his hand, and explained: "I don't know much about the human structure of this world, but no matter which world it is, the logic of flesh and blood organisms becoming stronger is the same, that is, strengthening the origin of life."

"This is a Power Seed. As long as you make physical contact with it, you can obtain a method to strengthen your own origin from the Power Seed, thereby obtaining powerful combat power. However, it is a one-time item."

"The strongest flesh and blood life I have ever seen, with the terrifying combat power to destroy stars with a single blow, achieved it by enhancing its origin."

"You can use this Power Seed as a foundation to cultivate a powerful flesh and blood life, and then, with the cooperation of these flesh and blood lives, find a way to fight against similar enemies."

After speaking, Lin Ze placed the Longevity Seed on the drone's robotic arm and let it hold it.

"Then let's end today's conversation here. I will leave first to prepare what you need. Please also prepare the payment for the transaction. See you in ten days. I hope we have a pleasant cooperation."

After speaking, Lin Ze waved his hand, directly opened the Gates to Heavens in front of the drone, and left.

"Goodbye, thank you for your visit. Your existence is extremely beneficial to my survival."

Chu Ge said.

Then, he controlled the drone to go to the nearest unmanned supersonic fighter jet and let it transport the newly obtained gemstone to the nearest sub-base.

While doing this, many engineering robots under Chu Ge's command had already set off to the banks of various cities, violently breaking through one vault after another.

Taking out the gold that he had not paid much attention to before. Although gold and silver are industrial materials, Chu Ge could not use too much of them at the moment, so he naturally did not collect them in advance.

These gold and silver were taken out of the vaults, then transported and concentrated together, as a bargaining chip for the transaction with Lin Ze in ten days.

So far, Chu Ge has basically believed most of Lin Ze's claims.

After all, the Golden Planet was real, and Lin Ze's explanation could basically be logically consistent, explaining his behavior.

However, one should always be wary of others, so he planned to use a guinea pig to test this Power Seed.

If he confirmed that this Power Seed was real, then he would consider applying it to himself.

Hidden behind the Gates to Heavens, Lin Ze tracked the sonic boom cloud of the supersonic fighter jet through an astronomical-level high-precision telescope, observing the whereabouts of this Longevity Seed all the way.

Finally, this Longevity Seed entered an underground base.

This Longevity Seed was the most important bait in Lin Ze's plan to lure the snake out of its hole.

If Chu Ge hadn't taken the initiative to ask for it just now, Lin Ze would have taken the initiative to send this thing out under other pretexts.

Although Lin Ze had never used the Longevity Seed, he knew its characteristics. Holding it in his hand, he could feel the Longevity Heaven Skill information remaining in the gem. This information guided the martial artist to cooperate with the Longevity Seed to complete the cultivation.

Chu Ge would be able to discover this characteristic with a little testing.

As an Other Worlder who had never practiced martial arts, Chu Ge would not know whether the Longevity Heaven Skill was good or bad, nor would he know its specific effects.

At the same time, the Longevity Seed had the unique characteristic of being used only once. In addition, with the Gates to Heavens ability he had previously demonstrated, he silently displayed the violence he possessed.

At this time, Chu Ge would enter a kind of fixed mindset.

Since Lin Ze could easily destroy the entire world, then what he said must be true. He was trying to reach a fair and just transaction with me willingly, so there would be no problem if I used the Longevity Seed.

This was a kind of instinctive admiration for the strong in human nature, feeling that what the strong said was right, their moral character must be high, and they would definitely take care of the weak.

But they didn't know that the strong might be doing it to achieve their goals more effortlessly.

Therefore, he would personally come into contact with this Longevity Seed.

Lin Ze could also follow the vine and find the Mastermind behind the destruction of the world by following the transportation trajectory of this Longevity Seed.

This was Lin Ze's entire plan to lure the snake out of its hole. So far, everything was going smoothly.

Now that the ambush was complete, he was just waiting for the fish to take the bait.

In the underground base, Lin Ze opened the Gates to Heavens in a blind spot of a camera, watching the situation here.

A woman who was so emaciated from hunger was brought up, bound to the operating table, and connected to various instruments to test her body changes.

"Pick up this gem, and then truthfully report your feelings. If you don't die after the experiment, you will get plenty of food."

The order came from the loudspeaker.

The woman's face, numb from hunger, had no expression. She did as she was told, and then began to report: "The moment I picked up the gem, a large amount of information appeared in my mind, telling me to cultivate according to it to strengthen my origin and obtain a longer life."

"What essence, qi, and spirit, essence and so on, I don't quite understand."

The lie detector showed normal data, and the woman was not lying.

The experiment ended here. The woman was taken down to eat. Next, Chu Ge arranged for several men and women who were starved to the point of being emaciated.

The same experiment was carried out, and the same conclusion was reached in the end.

At this time, Chu Ge had completely believed in the existence of the Power Seed. His heart was surging with emotions, and he wanted to use this Power Seed himself, to become an absolute powerhouse who could destroy stars with one blow, as Lin Ze had described.

Thus, this Longevity Seed was transferred again, from this sub-base belonging to Chu Ge, carried by a supersonic aircraft, and began to advance towards the main base.

After a period of time, the supersonic aircraft parked at an airport that had been deliberately disguised. The Longevity Seed was carried by a small drone and flew into a secret underground base, landing in the hands of a handsome-looking man.

"Power Seed, become stronger, I can get rid of this weak body."

A fanatical expression appeared on Chu Ge's face as he grasped the Longevity Seed, listening to the profound words filled with Dao rhythm that echoed in his ears.

Then, having just begun to rejoice for only a few seconds, he felt a large hand grab his neck.

Subsequently, his entire person was lifted up like a little chick. The scene before him changed, and he had already gone from his familiar, technologically advanced underground base to a barren land filled with gravel, where he was directly and heavily thrown to the ground.

Standing before him was Lin Ze, who called himself a Plane Merchant.

"Hello."

Lin Ze greeted with a smile.

However, compared to the peaceful tone he had used during the previous conversation via drone, Lin Ze's mouth now carried some playfulness and killing intent.

His clever brain worked, and almost instantly, Chu Ge understood everything.

Lin Ze had followed the clues to find the coordinates of his main body, then opened a Gates to Heavens and used telekinesis to grab him over, leaving his own world, and losing everything he relied on, facing alone a being who could withstand a nuclear explosion.

He raised his hand, pointing at Lin Ze.

Emotions such as anger, fear, and humiliation surged into his heart, and for a moment, he was unable to speak.
