Transaction

Tang Tian's strike against the United States government's probe had caused panic among part of the military. With satellites around the world being blocked, the United States government had no idea what had happened. They only knew they had been struck by alien weapons.

However, the aliens had not declared war, so the transaction could obviously continue. Tang Tian's technology had developed in a highly distorted manner. Not only did he possess nuclear weapons at the peak of a Level One civilization, but also various energy and electromagnetic weapons from a Level Two civilization. Although the nuclear weapon used in this probing attack did not look like an alien attack, who could say for sure? People generally associated aliens with beam weapons, but someone happened to be a madman who loved unleashing nuclear weapons.

One hundred and twenty kilometers northwest of Las Vegas, the capital of Nevada in the United States, an alien silver-white light space cruiser arrived above the uninhabited Area 51. Layer upon layer of military cordons had sealed off the surrounding area. A United States Army general, accompanied by several staff officers, had been waiting for the aliens' arrival. The excitement on the general's face was impossible to conceal. After all, not just anyone got to receive aliens.

"Psssh..." The light space cruiser vented a stream of white exhaust, and the alien craft slowly opened. At that moment, the military general and numerous staff officers swallowed nervously as they watched the alien about to emerge. The general had seen the alien's appearance once in online records, but now the real answer was about to be revealed.

As the craft's hatch opened in an instant, the expressions of every military higher-up who saw the alien froze solid. They had only one thought: Is this fucking an alien? Indeed, the first thing to enter the military's view was a humanoid creature wearing a black suit, followed by two armed humanoid creatures carrying energy rifles. (They were actually modified versions of Hydra energy weapons obtained from the real world. Their weapon batteries used miniature nuclear fusion cells and could continuously fire energy death beams for three minutes, instantly reducing any living creature to ashes.)

The alien, dressed like a successful businessman, slowly approached the military higher-ups and said, "Greetings, Earthlings." As Tang Tian approached the natives of this world, he instantly tidied up his appearance and spoke calmly with a faint smile.

"Welcome... friend from outer space. This is Earth. I am the officer assigned to receive you, United States Army General Lawrence Stanford." Though he was somewhat puzzled as to why this was not the alien image from the internet, he said nothing. Completing one's mission was a soldier's basic quality.

General Lawrence Stanford's calm and dignified conduct made Tang Tian nod inwardly. Look at that professionalism. After his initial surprise, his on-the-spot response deserved a score of one hundred and fifty.

"I understand. Where is your president? I believe we can complete our transaction." Tang Tian had no interest in wasting words with these people and went straight to the point. After all, being set up by his counterpart while pretending to be an alien was not something this black-hearted arms dealer would forget.

"Very well, please follow me." Seeing that the suspected alien creature had no interest in further conversation, Lawrence Stanford felt somewhat disappointed. After all, an alien had come to Earth. Although its appearance differed from the one online, its connection to the aliens was undoubtedly close.

Led by the United States Army general, Tang Tian entered the Area 51 base through layer upon layer of blockades. It was the place once rumored to house aliens or develop advanced technology. Upon reaching the underground nuclear-proof conference room, the general swiftly entered a set of passwords, and the tightly shut doors opened.

Inside Area 51's spacious underground conference room stood an elegant long conference table made of ebony. Several dozen important United States government officials respectfully watched the alien who had arrived. Though they were somewhat puzzled by the alien's human-like appearance, reports over the years about people vanishing because of aliens had made these old foxes realize that this might be a method the aliens used to transfer their consciousness into cloned human bodies for negotiations. After all, aliens would not simply come here in person.

"Hello, Mr. Alien. I am President Little Black. When will our transaction proceed as agreed? I can't wait to see those miraculous viruses." President Little Black no longer looked like he had when probing the alien. Shamelessly pretending that nothing had happened, he spoke hypocritically.

"Is that so? I don't recall us having any transaction. After all, your 'friendly' attitude just now made me feel very welcome." Tang Tian expressionlessly opened his briefcase, took out a bottle of chilled red wine, and slowly savored it, treating everyone else as if they were air.

"Hehe, Mr. Alien, you must be joking. We just received information that it was an unauthorized military operation. We don't know what the military did to anger you." Little Black laughed awkwardly, instantly washing his hands of all responsibility.

Damn it, they really think I'm an idiot. Tang Tian thought disdainfully. Without another word, he instantly released his gravity and electromagnetic abilities. Every light in the conference room went out at once. The United States higher-ups were all ruthlessly pressed to the floor under twice normal gravity, before Tang Tian abruptly stopped his attack. The effect was indeed excellent. Little Black did not try any more tricks. Only an idiot would want to be crushed by that terrifying gravity again! It felt as though every cell in their bodies had been burdened with extra weight. Had the force been any stronger, it would not have ended so simply.

"Earthlings, because of your mistake, the amount of metal your country must compensate our planet with has increased by another ten billion tons. In addition, I want ten finished nuclear warheads with yields of fifty million tons each, along with two hundred million tons of nuclear waste." Having extorted the compensation, Tang Tian laid out his new terms. After witnessing his abilities, they would undoubtedly connect them with the effects of the T-virus. Under the temptation of power and extended life, they certainly would not give up something that could let them live longer.

"Of course, we will gather everything. Can we begin the transaction now?" After being struck by his abilities, Little Black and the military higher-ups had fervor in their eyes. These viruses really could grant extraordinary power. Losing some resources was no big deal. Besides, I, Robot's nuclear weapons had been completely discontinued under the pressure of post-World War II international law. Leaving them to rot was pointless; selling them to aliens was well worth it.

"Of course. We have come from far away seeking only resources and new technology, nothing more." Tang Tian spread his hands and wore the expression of a peaceful merchant, making Little Black's mouth twitch. He was helpless and speechless. After all, the other side possessed things more advanced than theirs, and they had been the ones to probe them. Next came the real transaction. This particular alien had already prepared the information. Once it was complete, he would enter this world's storyline.

"First, I will introduce the biochemical viral weapons derived from the T-virus." Tang Tian gestured for the lights to be turned off, and the guards obediently shut them down. The conference room instantly became pitch-black.

"The biochemical viral weapons researched by our planet have been optimized in different directions, resulting in types focused on speed, strength, and even intelligence."

"The agility-focused biochemical weapon, the Licker, movie version, can easily eliminate a twenty-man armed unit. After consuming genes, it can evolve into the more powerful Hunter. The intelligence-focused biochemical weapon, Nemesis, movie version, can use the Gatling guns and rocket launchers native to your planet. It can carry out any retrieval mission, and its brain is controlled by an intelligent chip, making it extremely safe." As simulated biochemical weapon attacks played on the holographic projector of the alien's wrist computer, most of the military higher-ups became fascinated, as though they had discovered a new continent.

"Next comes the most important part." Tang Tian paused. Seeing the satisfied smiles around him as they looked at these biochemical weapons, he was disdainful inside but said nothing. Was he supposed to tell them they were using things he had long since discarded?

"The strongest are the strength-focused biochemical weapons—the Tyrants, game version. The first-generation Tyrant T-00 prototype, which has one sword-like arm and one enormous claw and is extremely berserk; the Tyrant T-002, no explanation needed; the special Tyrant model Long-Clawed Tyrant, which attacks mainly with long arms like whip-like tentacles, specializing in grabbing, throwing, and whip-like strikes, a special model developed from the Tyrant; and the Tyrant T-091 model, a new Tyrant model created from a T+G virus that fused the T-virus and G-Virus. It possesses extremely powerful elasticity and plasticity, attacks with tremendous speed, and has astonishing striking power." Tang Tian thoroughly introduced these Tyrant models that he had discarded or created for special experiments.

"Mr. Alien, this is truly impressive. How many do you have?" Having finished watching, President Little Black spoke excitedly. He was no longer even anxious to ask about the T-virus.

"I brought a fair number of biochemical weapons to Earth this time. I can provide two thousand Lickers and fifteen hundred Nemeses. As for Tyrants, there are twenty first-generation units, two hundred T-002s, thirty Long-Clawed Tyrants, and fifty female Tyrant T-091 units. As for the T-virus samples, I will give them to you once you have prepared what I need." Tang Tian spoke calmly. In truth, the first two types he was selling were weakened movie versions from Resident Evil, while the various Tyrant models—especially the special models—were unstable prototypes and outdated models. This transaction had made this particular alien a fortune.

"Then can we receive those biochemical weapons first? If not, we can increase the resources." After a brief exchange between President Little Black and the military higher-ups, they decided to obtain the biochemical weapons first. After all, they were immensely valuable alien biological weapons.

"That is possible. I can sell you the biochemical weapons first, but I need you to arrange an identity for me in the United States. I want to take a good look at your world." Tang Tian readily agreed and put forward one condition.

"Of course." President Little Black nodded in agreement.

Coming to the I, Robot world had been absolutely the right choice. Not only had he sold off a large quantity of obsolete biochemical weapons, but he had also obtained vast metal resources and all sorts of things that would allow him to develop rapidly. This transaction had been a perfect success. Tang Tian was also very interested in the possibility that the NS-5s and biochemical weapons might clash in the future. Now, he could begin following the plot of I, Robot.
