The Radish Hanging in Front of the Mule!
Chapter 344 The Radish Hanging in Front of the Mule!
Chu Sheng had thought that Lin Chaoyuan would ask him to upgrade some guns, bullets, or even artillery shells, but he never expected Lin Chaoyuan to go this far.
They actually let him enchant the nuclear bomb.
Yes, rather than calling it an upgrade, Chu Sheng prefers to call this kind of thing, which is already powerful but won't harm the supernatural, an enchantment.
Upgrading is a further improvement to this thing, while enchanting simply increases its damage against the supernatural.
These two are similar, but completely different.
Looking at the three nuclear bombs in front of him, Chu Sheng thought for a moment and finally nodded in agreement with Lin Chaoyuan's suggestion.
There's no way any man can resist the allure of a nuclear weapon.
As for the requests made by Lin Chaoyuan, Chu Sheng had no intention of objecting.
He could tell that the conditions Lin Chaoyuan stated were the bottom line, leaving no room for negotiation.
But if he were Lin Chaoyuan, he would do the same.
The biggest limitation is that he cannot use nuclear weapons to attack the Fireseed Base. As for other teams, it's just that he can't be the first to use nuclear weapons, but he doesn't need to use nuclear weapons against these teams.
There are even fewer restrictions on other races; they can be dropped whenever they want. In fact, if a human group provokes them, they can be dropped a nuclear bomb.
In the end, it just means that we can't use nuclear weapons against the Fireseed Base.
In Chu Sheng's view, this restriction was not a big problem.
Without this nuclear bomb, they wouldn't be able to launch it at the Fireseed Base, but with it, the deterrent effect on others is much higher.
Even when encountering some tricky or bizarre situations, you can try blowing them up.
No carbon-based life form can survive a nuclear explosion, none!
In fact, if the apocalypse hadn't begun, and those strange entities couldn't be killed by forces other than the supernatural, this world might have been very different.
The power of firearms is undeniable.
If we could have used firearms to inflict damage on the supernatural beings from the very beginning, human civilization might still have been scattered, but at least there would have been a piece of land belonging to humanity.
They won't be able to survive by wandering around anymore; they'll have to hold their ground and fight a tough battle against the uncanny.
Chu Sheng had no doubt about human creativity and survival skills.
In particular, the strongest aspect of the Chinese people throughout history has been farming and development.
Even the smallest territory can grow larger through development.
Gazing at the nuclear bomb, Chu Sheng was filled with countless thoughts. He remained silent, but with a thought, a contract appeared out of thin air.
"No problem, I agree to your requests."
He'd get a nuclear bomb just by enchanting it; he'd have to be crazy not to do it. It's free money for him.
Lin Chaoyuan was also very happy to hear Chu Sheng's words.
In his view, this was a mutually beneficial deal. Chu Sheng and his group would gain a powerful weapon, and their powerful weapon would also be able to be used, not just against humans or alien races. At the same time, they could also use this to thank Chu Sheng and his group.
This is a true win-win situation.
Lin Chaoyuan quickly signed a contract with Chu Sheng, which contained very few words.
The first rule is that this nuclear bomb and anything modified from it must not be used to attack or take action against China's major nuclear bases.
The second rule is that, provided the survivors and teams from China do not show any hostility towards them, they cannot be the first to use this nuclear bomb or anything modified from it.
These were the requirements Lin Chaoyuan had made to Chu Sheng. In addition, there was a third requirement, which was also a constraint Chu Sheng imposed on Lin Chaoyuan and his group.
The third rule is that after the nuclear bomb is modified or enchanted, it cannot be used to attack the Netherworld Floating Island or any member of its party.
These three regulations provide protection for both parties.
Neither Chu Sheng nor Lin Chaoyuan objected to these three requirements.
However, just to be on the safe side, Chu Sheng conjured two beams of white light in his hand and merged them into the contract paper. At the same time, he said to Lin Chaoyuan and Wang Er, "This is my ability. I can modify it directly, but after I integrate the ability into the contract paper, if you violate the contract, these two nuclear bombs will be restored to their original state."
“You have a lot of people, and I don’t know who will be in charge afterward. I trust Elder Lin and Brother Wang, but I don’t know about the future.”
"So for safety reasons, we'll add another constraint like this."
"As long as the contract is not violated, there will be no surprises regarding these two nuclear bombs."
Chu Sheng made no attempt to hide his unease.
Upon hearing his words, Lin Chaoyuan nodded, a hint of approval in his eyes, "Of course."
"To be honest, if you hadn't considered this point, I would be a little uneasy too."
Lin Chaoyuan was telling the truth. If Chu Sheng hadn't thought of this, his opinion of them would have dropped several levels.
Since they couldn't consider the dangers of the future, it means their survival in the apocalypse was entirely due to luck.
It's not that I'm unlucky, but relying solely on luck to survive is too risky.
Although the two sides will still trade and interact, Lin Chaoyuan will at most regard them as special survivors rather than partners.
As the contract was signed, Chu Sheng looked at the nuclear bombs in front of him again. With a wave of his hand, two beams of white light reappeared and plunged into the nuclear bombs on the left and right.
In fact, with his current abilities, he didn't need to manifest the white light. However, if he didn't, Lin Chaoyuan and Wang Er wouldn't be able to confirm that the nuclear bomb modification was complete, and he would have to keep explaining it to them. So, to save trouble, he directly manifested the white light.
As the white light disappeared into the nuclear bomb, Chu Sheng's voice rang out again, "It's done."
"Since there's no need to modify other functions, I incorporated all the materials into a trace of sequence ability, so that it can damage the eerie."
He paused for a moment, then continued, "The capabilities and power of these two nuclear bombs remain unchanged; the only change is that they can now damage the Strange."
As he spoke, he glanced at the nuclear bomb at the very center and said, "This is too big to take out easily. We don't have any portable spatial offerings for the time being. I'll send you a trade invitation when I return to the floating island, and we can trade directly."
Upon hearing this, Lin Chaoyuan also glanced at the nuclear bomb in the middle and nodded, "Okay."
As he spoke, he looked at Wang Er and said, "Little Wang, you can stay here. Later, Comrade Chu will send you a trade offer. You can just send the nuclear bomb over directly."
"Yes!" Wang Er saluted.
Chu Sheng glanced at him but said nothing.
However, Lin Chaoyuan seemed to have thought of something at this moment and said to Chu Sheng, "Comrade Chu, as you can see from this place, we only have one set of equipment for launching nuclear missiles, and we don't know how to make them." "So we can only give you one nuclear warhead, and you'll have to prepare the launch equipment yourself."
Upon hearing this, Chu Sheng glanced around a few times, then nodded, "Okay."
He didn't have any particular thoughts on this.
For him, launching a nuclear bomb was easier than eating a meal.
Whether he fuses a sacrificial object to launch a nuclear missile or has the Netherworld load it, the nuclear missile can be launched without much problem.
When leaving the Xuanwu Base, Lin Chaoyuan escorted Chu Sheng and Qingqing all the way to the place where the floating island and the Xuanwu turtle's back met.
Only then did Lin Chaoyuan ask Chu Sheng the question that had puzzled him and Wang Er earlier.
"Comrade Chu, I wonder if I can ask you a rather presumptuous question? Of course, if you don't know how to answer it, you don't have to. I'm just curious."
Chu Sheng glanced at him, as if he could see through his thoughts, and asked, "What's the problem?"
Lin Chaoyuan seemed oblivious to Chu Sheng's gaze, pointed to the center of the floating island, where the Dark Moon, hovering atop the Dark Moon Tower and emitting a ghostly green moonlight, asked, "That thing is making such a commotion, aren't you afraid of attracting the attention of the supernatural?"
Chu Sheng looked in the direction Lin Chaoyuan was pointing and saw a dark moon emitting a ghostly green light. Although he knew Lin Chaoyuan was trying to get information out of him, Chu Sheng didn't intend to hide it. He was hoping that Lin Chaoyuan and the others would get him more extraordinary materials, and this dark moon was just the carrot dangling in front of the mule.
"That's the Dark Moon, which I created by fusing multiple extraordinary materials."
"It has no other function than to cover up the life force in a human being and evade the attention of the supernatural."
He paused, looking at Lin Chaoyuan with a half-smile, "Old Lin, if you ever want to create similar sacrificial objects in the future, you can tell me, and I can help you make them."
"However, let me make this clear beforehand: such a sacrifice requires an enormous amount of extraordinary materials. Even for me, it wouldn't be easy to create one."
"In addition, suitable extraordinary materials are needed, since each extraordinary material can be used to create different sacrificial offerings."
Upon hearing Chu Sheng's words, Lin Chaoyuan immediately became excited, his eyes shining as he looked at Chu Sheng: "What did you say?!"
"This thing can mask a person's life force?!"
"You heard me right, the Dark Moon can conceal life force, which is why we are not afraid of the eerie creatures chasing us."
Having received Chu Sheng's confirmation, Lin Chaoyuan remembered the question he had previously overlooked and asked, "Comrade Chu, how can I contact you later?"
"Our transactions can still be stabilized."
"Don't worry about that." Chu Sheng waved his hand, and with a thought, a card the size of a card appeared out of thin air in front of him and floated towards Lin Chaoyuan.
"This is the pass for the transaction. If you want to make a transaction, you can activate the pass with your mental power. I will receive a notification and contact you within 24 hours at most."
He paused for a moment, then added, "But if you're really in a hurry, you can keep contacting me, and I'll come as soon as possible."
Upon hearing his words, Lin Chaoyuan carefully placed the card in the small pocket on his chest and even buttoned up the pocket.
Seeing his cautiousness, Chu Sheng shook his head. "No need for that. To prevent any accidents from happening with this pass, I will contact you every month. If the pass is lost or damaged, I will just give it to you then."
"However, there is one thing to remember: ordinary people cannot use this pass. Only those with sequence ability can mobilize their mental energy to activate the pass."
"Okay, I understand." Lin Chaoyuan nodded.
The two exchanged a few more words before parting ways and going their separate ways home.
Chu Sheng returned to the foot of the Dark Moon Tower, stopped, turned around and looked at Qingqing who was following him closely, and said helplessly, "Qingqing, why are you following me instead of going back?"
Upon hearing this, Qingqing blinked her big eyes, looking completely innocent: "Didn't you say you'd bring me the Dada Dada when you traded the nuclear bombs?"
"I want da da da!"
Chu Sheng: "..."
"alright."
He had originally intended to appease the child and then trade the nuclear bomb back at the Dark Moon Tower, but since Qingqing was so persistent, he decided to trade it here instead.
As for having Qingqing come with him into the Dark Moon Tower, he hadn't considered that yet.
The Dark Moon Tower is the main body of the Netherworld, the core of the floating island, and also his residence. He would not allow anyone to enter such an important and private place.
After all, things are different now. Before, the Netherworld Bone Cart was fast, could conceal life force, and had enough space, so he allowed them to enter. But now everyone has their own room, so naturally he won't let anyone into their private space.
Even if Qingqing is just a little child, it's the same!
Of course, Anxi and Xingzi can still come and go.
As soon as Chu Sheng had a thought, a semi-transparent vortex passage appeared in front of him.
As the passage appeared, Chu Sheng led Qingqing directly inside.
Meanwhile, Wang Er, on the other side, sensed the information in his mind and immediately took the guns beside him, summoning the same semi-transparent vortex and walking into it.
Looking around in surprise, Wang Er quickly spotted Chu Sheng with Qingqing on the other side and strode forward.
"Comrade Chu, everything is ready." He placed the gun he was holding on the low table and continued, "This is the gun I promised this female comrade. I'll go and bring the nuclear bomb over now."
"Okay, thank you for your help." Chu Sheng said with a gentle smile.
Soon, Wang Er returned to the trading space carrying a three-meter-tall nuclear bomb.
“Although the nuclear bombs were already traded, this transaction space still needs to be traded again.” Chu Sheng said, picking up the contract paper that had been prepared and placed there beforehand from the low table and handing it to Wang Er.
"Here, take this. I don't need to explain the purpose of the contract paper."
"This..." Wang Er looked at the contract in his hand, then at Chu Sheng, and finally put it away, thanking Chu Sheng: "Then thank you very much, Comrade Chu."
"It doesn't need to be so expensive, anything will do, after all, this was already agreed upon."
As Wang Er spoke, he looked earnestly at Chu Sheng, speaking from the heart.
"It's alright." Chu Sheng shook his head.
You'll know how useful contract paper is once you've used it.
Give them an extra one to test the waters; that way, he'll earn more from the transaction contracts later.
You might make a small profit, but I will never lose money.
After all, the contract paper was just the paper on the iron-bound contract, and he could have as many as he wanted.
