Chapter 190 - 154 Taming and Utilizing the Anomaly
After the meeting ended, Lu Yuan decided to head to the volcano.
Here, he had gained a lot, faced some risks, but also acquired a wealth of information.
Especially the knowledge about the "Eternal Spark" was truly tempting.
He couldn’t wait to convert his gains into combat power as soon as possible.
Before leaving, Lu Yuan took out the object that looked like a lump of excrement from the Storage Space.
In passing, he discarded most of the metal junk he had picked up from the Meida Civilization to the logistics officers of the Rize Civilization.
The Storage Space was emptied by eighty to ninety percent.
"Melt down these items for me."
"This garbage from the Exotic Realm Civilization?!"
The scientists of the Rize Civilization, naturally knowledgeable, couldn’t help but touch the lump.
It was hard as a rock, just like a fossil.
Then, they brought their fingers close to their noses and sniffed, each showing a bizarre expression: "There’s a strange fragrance."
Lu Yuan was speechless, wondering if they really needed to flatter so much...
A few Identification ability users started the identification process.
They soon discovered the wonders of the mysterious lump and began to praise it: "So this is a lump of Idealistic element, did you get it from that prison?"
"Yes, how about we split it fifty-fifty?" Lu Yuan laughed.
The Undying Giant Turtle felt extremely awkward.
What are these folks doing, studying its excrement? And splitting it fifty-fifty, what exactly is going on?
"No no no, the Governor instructed us... you’ve gathered enough information, all these riches are yours."
The other party spoke earnestly: "But we can’t refine these Idealistic elements instantly. You might need to wait a bit, at least a day or two."
"Then... I’ll trouble you."
"I agree to give you five percent as a reward."
Lu Yuan wasn’t worried about any shortage or skimming.
Actually, even if the Rize people skimmed some, he wouldn’t care much, especially since the Rize people probably didn’t dare.
So he simply treated the five percent of the Idealistic elements as a service fee.
Clear accounts make close friends, Lu Yuan knew he shouldn’t treat the Rize Civilization as subordinates, and this was something he was clearly aware of.
The prior deal had already been fair.
He didn’t like to owe favors rashly.
"No no no, five percent is too much, just for refining."
"Inside, there are many valuable elements. Three percent, no... one percent is already a big win for us."
The guys were both surprised and pleased, not greedy but honest and very modest.
They looked again at those scraps of metal, saying: "These common metals, well, are mostly rusted and really not worth much... We have some stock here, anything you want you can just take." n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
This expert led Lu Yuan to a material warehouse, where all sorts of gold, silver, copper, iron, aluminum, tungsten, titanium, and various alloys were stored.
They were high-quality metal ingots, stacked in piles.
After all, they were a technological civilization, and even if it was just the scale of one city, there was no shortage of regular materials.
Lu Yuan looked again at the junk he had gathered from the Meida Civilization: metal doors, scrapped cars, water pipes...
Well, he had grown quite fond of this trash.
The Greedy Demon God·Lu Yuan actually didn’t want to hand over the junk; he just liked these broken relics,
but he also knew that melting them down here was the best destiny for these items.
Old things must go before new ones can come.
"You guys help me prepare various parts, from screws, bearings, gears, coils, sensors, etc., I need them all. I’ll take these items in bulk next time I come."
"It’s a small matter."
"I’ll first stroll around the volcano, then investigate various spacecraft wrecks. Prepare a helicopter for me soon; the largest part must not exceed 3 meters." Find adventures at empire
"No problem at all! Our engineers are already on it!"
Lu Yuan added: "Additionally, I’ll borrow your Communicator for a while, and will return it to you later; consider these Idealistic elements as a deposit."
"If I die out there and can’t return the Communicator, then these elements are a gift to you."
Faced with Lu Yuan’s request, Governor Moses was inwardly distressed, opened his mouth, but dared not refuse.
He could only comfort himself: "Anyway, the flow of time is different; not using the Communicator for a few days isn’t a big deal."
Communication between cities could still be done by telegraph, although it wasn’t as convenient as the Communicator.
"Please proceed as you like," he finally said helplessly.
Before leaving, Lu Yuan handed him a small box: "A small gift for your civilization, not much but a token of friendship from our Human civilization. May we all live in harmony."
Mosey accepted the box, and from his widened eyes and surprised expression, he seemed somewhat taken aback.
In the Rize Civilization, opening the gift box right away was the standard etiquette.
A rich fragrance hit their noses as soon as they smelled it, making their pores open instantly.
It was a precious Pomegranate Fruit.
As a gift, it was quite generous.
Any prior bitterness vanished completely.
Mosey, watching Lu Yuan’s departing figure, thought to himself: "A fruit in exchange for the use of a Communicator for a few days, this deal is too good..."
He quickly thought of more.
"This gentleman isn’t the type to become arrogant with power."
This was actually quite rare; wealth disperses when people gather, and gathers when people disperse.
The concept isn’t complex but easier said than done.
Many people, upon gaining a little power or wealth, would become aloof.
What do you think?
