Slaying the Eagle, Luck Points in the Bank!

A moment later, at Wang Dong's signal,

Liu Zhi replied again over the wide-area communications channel: "As a qualified explorer of human civilization,

our ship has moved beyond the vulgar pursuit of material things.

If you have no other bargaining chips,

then please maintain the dignity of a transcendent creature and accept the judgment of fate!"

The reply from the Dark Peng left the Star Crown Shining Eagle stunned.

A human civilization that had moved beyond the pursuit of material things?

Could that even still be called a human civilization?

Yet the human warship before it had never shown the slightest hesitation.

The Star Crown Shining Eagle had no choice but to believe it.

The ship was indeed sincerely prepared to accept "ransom" in exchange for its life.

Its sincerity was clearly conveyed through the special form of communication known as eagle cries.

If anyone aboard the Dark Peng had been even slightly tempted, they would have responded positively.

But the Dark Peng's response had been the standard negative one!

That meant the Dark Peng simply wasn't tempted by the bargaining chips it had offered!

The ransom route was a dead end.

Even though it considered itself a "wise one" among the Star Crown Shining Eagles,

this Star Crown Shining Eagle couldn't come up with any other bargaining chips in such a short time.

In fact, Wang Dong and the others knew full well

that for a level-ten creature from Otherworldly Space,

there might be very few bargaining chips it could offer that would tempt the Dark Peng!

Material goods were no use.

And non-material things were hardly any better!

As a well-traveled Star Crown Shining Eagle, it might be able to provide advanced technological materials from a higher civilization.

But the same principle applied.

Technology from an Otherworldly Civilization
