The Great God Is Human, Yet Not Human

What I am is not important, what matters is that you deem it worthwhile.

Zhang Hao forced a smile. "What do you want?" At that moment, he saw the large hole in the corner of the basement, making his eyelids twitch.

Go back to your room and turn on your computer. I'll tell you the answer.

Zhang Hao's heart leaped. He turned and ran towards the stairs, too curious to resist. What was this thing that was so powerful? He had already ruled out the possibility of it being human. He didn't believe anyone could do such a thing, nor was it something a human could accomplish.

Back in the upstairs workshop, Zhang Hao turned on his computer and said, "Tell me the answer."

The computer screen displayed an interface, then quickly went black. A star map appeared, showing many galaxies. Zhang Hao was shocked. "Holy crap, aliens? Are you an alien?"

I am not considered human now, nor am I an alien!

Zhang Hao asked, "Then what are you?"

It's hard to explain. With your level of knowledge, you probably wouldn't be able to understand.

Please continue to call me Great God!

Holy crap! Zhang Hao was going crazy. What kind of explanation was this? He said, "Great God, can you explain it in a way I can understand?"

Just understand it as Great God!

Zhang Hao rolled his eyes. He didn't know what to do. After a long pause, he said, "Great God, what I don't understand is, why are you looking for me to cooperate?"

Because you are the first person I've communicated with. If cooperation doesn't work out, I will find someone else suitable. The premise is that they must agree to cooperate.

Mi Feng didn't mention the most important reason for cooperation. Even if he had, Zhang Hao wouldn't have understood.

Zhang Hao said incredulously, "It's that simple?" He was sweating bullets. He hadn't believed it at first; it was just a joke. Who would take it seriously? But this was the most crucial part. If he had chosen not to cooperate, nothing would have happened. The pressure he felt was because he didn't know who he was cooperating with.

Now that it was clear the other party wasn't human at all, Zhang Hao felt a sense of relief. It was a human that would have been terrifying. Not being human made him feel slightly more at ease.

Humans are the most unpredictable. Since the other party wasn't human, no matter what it was, it put less pressure on Zhang Hao.

Zhang Hao said, "What is the purpose of this cooperation? I believe it's not just about making money, right?"

I am looking for my lost home. It requires complex methods and consumes vast resources. Without a collaborator, it's difficult for me to achieve my goal.

Furthermore, on this planet, if I want to develop, I must cooperate with humans to achieve my objectives.

Zhang Hao was surprised by the other party's candor. He said, "How long can we cooperate? Humans only live for a few decades. Will you find a new collaborator then?"

Since you are my collaborator, I have a way to let you live longer...

Seeing these words, Zhang Hao's heart skipped a beat. Was there such a good thing?

"Holy crap, is that true? Can I achieve immortality?"

No, you cannot achieve immortality. You are a carbon-based life form within the human category. However, I have a way, using technology, to make you immortal...

Zhang Hao shivered. "Won't I turn into a monster? I'd rather die!"

No. You will know soon enough. However, you must assist me wholeheartedly.

Mi Feng didn't tell the whole truth. He had his own difficulties.

Zhang Hao's spirits immediately lifted. "Okay, tell me what to do." Only now did he act like a true collaborator. Before this, he had been muddling through confusedly. "What do you want me to do?"

A line of text appeared on the screen.

It's still early days. We are building the foundation. The local technology is too primitive, and there's not much we can utilize. Funding isn't a major issue. I can use this world's financial rules to gather the necessary funds. With these funds, we should be able to establish the most basic production base.

To help you understand, I will try to use words you know. They might not be entirely accurate, but you should grasp the meaning.

For example, what you assembled for the first time here should be called a robot, or a machine ant. Although they are the simplest and most primitive tools, having them makes a complete difference. Furthermore, to build the base, I will assemble more machine ants, which will require a large number of spare parts.

Also, to maintain secrecy, you need to establish a mechanical manufacturing factory, an electronics factory, and so on.

Zhang Hao forced a smile. "I don't understand..."

If you don't understand, you learn. Actually, you don't need to do much. As long as you establish the factories, everything else will be manageable.

Zhang Hao had no choice. Since they were cooperating, he understood he couldn't do nothing.

"Alright, when should we do it? Give me the plan, and I'll run errands."

Stay at the villa these few days. Don't go anywhere. A large amount of materials will be arriving. Wait at home. When the materials arrive, unload them in the yard.

Zhang Hao asked curiously, "Why did you order so much rebar and cement?"

Mi Feng's answer left Zhang Hao speechless.

Expand the base!

Zhang Hao gave a wry smile. "Isn't this huge villa not enough?"

Far from enough! Some things cannot be exposed!

Zhang Hao said, "Alright, whatever makes you happy." He didn't know what else to say.

The next morning at ten o'clock, trucks began delivering goods. The property security guards were helpless, wondering what the occupant of Villa No. 1 was doing, ordering truckloads of cement, sand, rebar, and various building materials.

However, the residents here were all wealthy and influential, so they didn't dare to stop them. Fortunately, Villa No. 1 was located deeper within the villa area, so it wouldn't greatly affect other residents, otherwise, it would have been a real hassle.

The villa yard had high walls. All the delivered materials were unloaded in the yard. After the workers and trucks left, Zhang Hao witnessed an astonishing sight.

Machine ants crawled out of the basement one by one and quickly transported the materials away. Their speed was incredible. The materials from several trucks were all moved into the basement in less than an hour. What made him even more speechless was that two machine ants even cleaned the ground spotlessly.

Curiosity piqued, Zhang Hao followed him to the basement. He discovered the basement was now empty, with four gaping holes in the floor that sent shivers down his spine. He spoke into his phone, "God, did you dig underground?"

"It's not built yet. I don't want you to go down there, it's dangerous!"

Zhang Hao approached one of the holes and peered down. To his surprise, there were no stairs. Instead, a two-meter diameter opening plunged straight down, with lights visible below. He estimated the drop to be at least six or seven meters, and with the air gap, it was definitely over ten meters.

"It really is dangerous. Ten meters high, I wouldn't dare jump."

This meant Zhang Hao couldn't see what was happening below.

"Won't the house collapse?"

"Don't worry, there's no problem with that!"

Sighing, Zhang Hao turned to leave. He was still confused, unable to grasp what kind of existence Mi Feng was. He possessed such incredible abilities; it didn't seem like the work of a human. He felt both anticipation and unease, wondering where Mi Feng would lead him.

Perhaps Mi Feng had taken an interest in him because he was alone, with no attachments. He couldn't understand why Mi Feng had sought him out.
