Wait Until You've Reached an Agreement Before Coming to Find Me

Silence filled the headphones.

Qiangu Dongfeng did not speak. Like a shrewd businessman hearing an offer beyond his expectations, he was quickly weighing the gains and losses in his mind.

The Spirit Pagoda's spatial technology was one of its most closely guarded secrets, a foundation equal in importance to its Soul Spirit system.

Since the era of Spirit Ice Douluo Huo Yuhao, the Spirit Pagoda had poured countless resources into spatial technology and accumulated endless experience. Even the Spirit Ascension Platform, the Spirit Pagoda's most important facility, was the pinnacle of its spatial technology. Every technology within it had been refined and perfected over thousands of years, serving as an important bargaining chip that allowed the Spirit Pagoda to maintain its transcendent status within the Federation.

Hand it over?

That would not merely be cutting flesh. It would be bloodletting.

Zhong Shenxiu did not urge him. He leaned back against the sofa again, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest. Tap, tap, tap. The rhythm was leisurely and composed, as though he were enjoying a bright, sunny afternoon.

After a long while, Qiangu Dongfeng's voice sounded again, this time carrying a trace of gravity.

"Spatial technology is the Spirit Pagoda's most guarded secret. Mr. Shenxiu, your request is somewhat excessive."

Zhong Shenxiu did not yield. His voice was calm yet firm, as if he had long expected Qiangu Dongfeng's response.

"Tower Master Qiangu, if this is cooperation, then you must show some sincerity. The Spirit Pagoda wants a share of Shrek's pie, yet it is unwilling to put up any capital at all. How could there be such a good deal in this world?"

Qiangu Dongfeng's voice carried a hint of bitter laughter.

"Mr. Shenxiu, spatial technology is not a business transaction. It is the Spirit Pagoda's foundation. Choose another condition."
