A Deal with the Zhuge Family

The Zhuge Family is considered one of the more prominent families in the five major regions.

Furthermore, they have studied the Creation World and pay particular attention to the recycling of resources from it.

Following Uncle Zhang's directions, Shen Hui and his group headed towards the place where the Zhuge Family was acquiring resources.

There was a large crowd gathered there, making it exceptionally lively.

After getting closer, Shen Hui saw that Zhuge Hongjing was among them.

There were also some members of the Zhuge Family around him.

Among them was a man slightly older than Zhuge Hongjing, who stood out with his indifferent demeanor.

They were discussing something with a group of disorganized, somewhat translucent figures.

"Your Zhuge Family should know better than anyone how extraordinary the world we've encountered is. Is this all you're offering in exchange for these meager resources? Are you trying to fob us off?"

"Our world has been damaged, even begun to decline, and we risked our lives for it."

Within the Zhuge Family, someone spoke up, "Of course we know that the exchanged resources and money can be increased."

"It's true that there's no way to find that much of the Breath of Life Essence that merely slows down decay in a short time."

At this moment, Zhuge Hongjing spoke up, "I know who has it. If there are no surprises, Shen Hui obtained quite a bit from the Nascent World."

The arrogant young man beside Zhuge Hongjing spoke up, "Shen Hui? The one who saved you, the one you said possessed a special world?"

Zhuge Hongjing nodded. "Yes, I can contact him and see if I can acquire it from him."

Among the crowd, Ye Long, Xiao Xiangyan, and Qingxue all looked at Shen Hui.

Shen Hui coughed twice, surprised that the other party was actually going to take the initiative to contact him.

You don't even need to come yourself.

"Ahem, Brother Zhuge, it's been a long time. I heard you were planning to look for me?"

Zhuge Hongjing immediately turned his gaze to Shen Hui, his expression one of great surprise.

I just mentioned Shen Hui, and I didn't expect to find him here.

"Brother Shen! Haha, could it be that you can Teleportation? You just appeared when I mentioned you."

"It's a good thing I didn't say anything bad about you, otherwise you would have caught me red-handed."

The arrogant man beside him looked at Shen Hui with intense curiosity in his eyes.

Zhuge Hongjing quickly introduced, "This is my cousin, Zhuge Yue."

Upon hearing the name Zhuge Yue, Ye Long was slightly surprised and whispered to Shen Hui:

"I've heard of him; he's one of the stronger players on the Starry Sky Leaderboard."

Shen Hui nodded, but didn't take the other person seriously at all.

Shen Hui then got straight to the point.

"Brother Zhuge, you're planning to acquire the Breath of Life Essence, aren't you?"

"That's right, the item should still be on Brother Shen, right? I guarantee I'll buy it at a price you'll be satisfied with."

Zhuge Hongjing said sincerely.

However, Shen Hui was more curious about what they planned to exchange for the Breath of Life Essence and other resources.

If any of the items available for exchange are of sufficient value, Shen Hui can simply exchange them with these people.

"I wonder, what are you going to exchange them for?"

Zhuge Yue said calmly, "It's just the coordinates of a world; it's useless to you."

Shen Hui looked at the people selling things.

They knew that Shen Hui possessed the Breath of Life Essence they needed, and they quickly nodded.

"That's right, it's the coordinates of a world. If you need it, we can sell you the Breath of Life Essence, along with some other resources."

Shen Hui was a little surprised this time, thinking it was something special.

It turns out it's just a coordinate of a world.

However, compared to using the Breath of Life Essence, you also need to exchange other resources for a coordinate.

Shen Hui thought it wasn't worth it, and just as Zhuge Yue said, it was really useless to him.

"Brother Zhuge, I have over thirty strands of silk. Tell me your price, what are you willing to exchange for them?"

By getting the other party to raise the price, Shen Hui can then offer a better price increase.

"How about 100 million, plus a complete set of Perfect Basic Resource Card?"

Those around gasped in shock upon hearing the price.

This price is absolutely worth it.

One hundred million is nothing at all.

A set of basic resource cards includes nearly ten cards such as Time Flow Rate Card, Terrain Construction Card, and Resource Expansion Card.

And most importantly, it has Perfect quality.

If it were them, they would have exchanged it on the spot.

However, Shen Hui shook his head. They desperately wanted his Breath of Life, and he was willing to pay extra for that.

Moreover, Shen Hui believed that the items traded would be included in the subsequent gifts of gratitude from various families.

Seeing Shen Hui shake his head, everyone around was surprised. How could this person be so ungrateful?

With such abundant resources, why aren't they exchanging them? Are they trying to rip off the Zhuge Family?

Zhuge Yue frowned slightly.

"Greed knows no bounds, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant..."

Before the other person could finish speaking, Shen Hui interrupted them.

The value of something depends on the people who need it; if you don't need it, the Breath of Life is certainly worthless.

"But that's exactly what you need, so I think it deserves a higher price."

"That makes sense, then let's offer a higher price."

Ye Long chimed in, "Anyone who didn't know better would think he was from the Zhuge Family."

Zhuge Yue glared at him.

"Brother Shen, what else do you need?"

Zhuge Hongjing inquired about Shen Hui.

Shen Hui thought for a moment. Since it was his turn, he needed something useful to him.

However, there are too many types, and Shen Hui doesn't know their specific names.

"Something that allows organisms to adapt, or rather, to transform organisms from other systems into organisms within my system."

This was proposed by Shen Hui in consideration of creating the Deep Ones.

Shen Hui believed that the Zhuge Family, as researchers of the Creation World, must possess such a thing.

Zhuge Hongjing pondered for a moment, then looked at Zhuge Yue, and then nodded to Shen Hui.

"Yes, there are Rule Evolution Card, which can improve the adaptability of a certain organism by rapidly reproducing to improve offspring and adapt them to the current rules."

Just as Shen Hui had predicted, it was indeed there.

Since it involves continuous evolution and adaptation, Shen Hui could first create a group of simple fish-men in the Death World.

Then it evolved into Deep Ones.

"Brother Shen, are you trying to integrate creatures from other worlds into your world?"

"From what I understand, Brother Shen's world is Death World, where simple creatures simply cannot survive. It's not a matter of adaptability; is it really useful?"

"There's no need for Brother Zhuge to worry about that. How about we complete the transaction with what you just mentioned, along with the Rule Evolution Card?"

Shen Hui believed that the Cthulhu faith, forged by the Source of Faith, was under its protection.

With the help of the Rule Evolution Card, success is guaranteed.

Zhuge Hongjing nodded. "Alright, the gifts of gratitude from all the major families will be sent to you tomorrow."

"How about we send the exchanged items along with our Zhuge Family's gift of gratitude?"

Shen Hui smiled and said:

"OK!"

Once everything arrives tomorrow, I can start building it myself.
