A brute can not only throw punches, but also stab.

[Angel Yan: Okay, no problem.]

Both sides believe they have gained an advantage; this is the highest level of business acumen.

[Angel Yan: In addition, we would like to exchange a large amount of Dark Silver for detailed explanations of the basic techniques and advanced paths for Spiritual Masters and Martial Artists.]

This news immediately caused a stir in the group, as the extremely sharp nature of Dark Silver makes it an absolutely valuable item in any world.

[Meng Qi: Ahem, I'll share a cultivation technique that allows one to reach the Dharma Body realm. Could you give me some of that Dark Silver in return?]

Although he already possessed the Evil Tribulation Divine Weapon, who wouldn't want to have as many divine weapons as possible?

Apart from Ye Fan, who possessed the Cauldron of All Things Mother Qi, everyone else in the group was tempted. However, Meng Qi's comment about "rubbing the sun with one's hands" still lingered in their minds, and they subconsciously felt that they couldn't afford it, so none of them dared to make a bid.

[Angel Yan: @Meng Qi, I'm sorry, your cultivation technique cannot be practiced in our world, so it's not on our list of techniques we want to exchange for.]

[Angel Yan: If you need Dark Silver, you can exchange it for other resources.]

The world of Super God Academy is a technological world, and the closest thing to the fantasy world is Su Xiaoli, the descendant of a fairy, but her art style seems out of place in the whole world.

Compared to the mysterious and profound cultivation methods of the worlds of "The Supreme Being" and "Covering the Sky," the gene energy cultivation method in the world of "Swallowing the Stars," where technology still prevails, is more to their liking.

The reason for using Dark Silver to pay the bill is even simpler: the core technology of the Angelic Civilization cannot be leaked, and Lin Yuan is a knowledgeable immortal god. After thinking it over, perhaps only Dark Silver can impress him.

As for the claim that Dark Silver reserves are scarce? This information was spread by the Angelic Civilization!

It is known that all the Dark Silver mines in the universe are controlled by angels, and it is easy to forge a weapon for each of their sisters. Keisha was only afraid that the fall of the little angels would cause this metal, which could harm the divine body, to leak out, so she did not equip the lower-ranking guardian angels with it.

[Angel Yan: @Lin Yuan, what's your decision? Are you interested in doing this business?]

[Lin Yuan: I don't have specific information about Dark Silver right now, so I can't give a reasonable price. Could you send me some samples first?]

[Angel Yan: No problem, this is the information we obtained about the Dark Silver substance, along with a small sample.]

"Ding! Group member Angel Yan sent Lin Yuan a designated red envelope."

……

The chat lasted less than a minute, but Lin Yuan, who had logged off, had already gone through several days.

[Lin Yuan: @Angel Yan, the analysis results for the Dark Silver sample you provided are in.]

[Lin Yuan: This metal also exists in Minecraft. In this world, it's called Star Moon Silver and is classified as E9 level. Its characteristics are extreme physical cutting ability and sharpness.]

[Lin Yuan: This material is usually used to create powerful psychic weapons, and even as the main ingredient for a divine weapon of the controller. For psychic masters below the level of immortal gods, it is a treasure they dream of.]

[Angel Yan: Oh? Sounds like a high evaluation. So what can I get out of it?]

[Lin Yuan: The value of materials depends on quantity. How much do you plan to trade?]

[Angel Yan: One cubic kilometer. 】

[Yan Ling Ji: One cubic meter... a kilometer? Then, how much is that?]

In the world of Tianxing Jiuge, in the Zilan Pavilion in Xianyang City, the girl's eyes were filled with confusion.

The world she lived in had not even achieved unification, and the standardization of weights and measures existed only in official documents related to Qin Shi Huang's case; there was still a long way to go before it could be implemented.

This fire spirit from Baiyue usually judges distances entirely by feeling, so it was indeed a bit difficult for her to suddenly encounter such professional terminology in the group.

[Angel Yan: How should I put it? Hmm... you know Earth, right?]

[Yan Ling Ji: I saw an introduction in Zhang Tianshi's memory instance. It should refer to the sum of the world beneath my feet, including mountains, rivers, and all life.]

[Angel Yan: Good to know. To put it simply, one cubic kilometer of Dark Silver weighs about fifty times the weight of your Earth.]

With a hint of mockery, she precisely presented a comparison that shocked the members of the lower-level worlds, leaving even those of higher-level worlds somewhat stunned.

[Yan Ling Ji: Fifty...fifty Earths?]

[Maoshan Lin Jiu: Boundless Heavenly Venerable... This humble Taoist has truly broadened his horizons today.]

Uncle Nine was also a bit stunned by this astronomical figure.

He had gone through hundreds of reincarnations, and even the worst of the special disciples he had taught had become the supreme god of a small world. He considered himself to be knowledgeable and experienced, but such a high-level transaction was still unheard of.

[Ye Fan: Hiss... The weight of fifty Earths? This... Miss Yan, are you angels really this extravagant?]

Even though Ye Fan had seen many treasures in the Holy City, he was still shocked by the terrifying quantity.

He imagined fifty blue planets piled up together, and then converted them into the incredibly dense Dark Silver. He felt his scalp tingle and deeply understood the profound foundation of the angelic civilization that could dominate an entire known universe.

Han Li: ...

Inside the Chaotic Star Sea Cave, Han Li's pupils contracted slightly as he stared at the messages in the chat group.

He subconsciously compared himself to it, and was immediately shocked. He realized that even if he reached the Nascent Soul stage, it would be a pipe dream for him to move these Dark Silver without using special magic treasures or refining them with his own magic power.

[Shi Hao: Wow! Fifty balls?]

Inside the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, the little one who had just presented the Purple Netherworld Longevity Pill to the gourd spirit was surprised, but in reality, he thought it was nothing special.

The Great Wilderness alone is many times larger than Earth, and it is only a corner of the Eight Regions of the Lower Realm. Above it are the Three Thousand Dao Provinces and the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, as well as the Immortal Realm, the Other Realm, and even the Endless Boundary Sea...

Compared to them, Dark Silver, measured in Earth units, does indeed feel rather ordinary.

[Lin Yuan: Deal.]

[Lin Yuan: This level of E9 grade metal is indeed worth the investment of my knowledge.]

[Lin Yuan: I will provide you with a gene-based energy cultivation method and a mental cultivation technique that will allow you to reach the ninth level of the Domain Lord realm.]

A Domain Lord is already a powerful ruler in the Swallowed Star World. The cultivation techniques that can be cultivated to this level are far more valuable than any single material. Even an E-grade metal can only be exchanged for one such technique at the Domain Lord level.

[Angel Yan: Alright, it'll be a pleasure working with you.]

"Ding! Group member Angel Yan sent a designated red envelope to Lin Yuan, containing one cubic kilometer of Dark Silver."

"Ding! Group member Lin Yuan sent Angel Yan 'Gene Energy Guidance Technique: Domain Lord Chapter' and 'Detailed Explanation of the Basics and Advanced Techniques of Mental Power'."

The red envelope function has a value limit on the items sent, and this is the first time Lin Yuan has had to pay a points handling fee to send red envelopes in the group.

……

After completing the mission, Angel Yan closed the connection with the chat group and turned to face Keisha on the throne and Heavenly King He Xi beside her.

"Your Majesty, the transaction was a success. I have uploaded the cultivation data from the Swallowed Star World to the Sacred Knowledge Treasury..." Yan reported in a deep voice, but her expression turned complicated towards the end. "However... regarding Ge Xiaolun of the Galactic Force, should I still follow the plan in the memory copy...?"

Queen Keisha leaned lazily against her throne, gesturing to interrupt her: "Yan, do you think I'd be so foolish as to entrust the future of angels to an untested god nurtured by another civilization?"

She leaned forward slightly: "Everything that happened in the memory copy was a stopgap measure I took after I foresaw that I might be offline, in order to ensure that the Angel Civilization could survive the cosmic storm."

Using you to bind to the main god created by the Super God Academy at great expense is to buy the Angel Civilization a chance to breathe; it's a reluctant trade.

"However, I didn't expect you to do so well." At this point, Queen Keisha's lips curled into a faint smile. "You decisively sent out the Heavenly Blade Seven, making it impossible for Ge Xiaolun to easily sever his connection with you. This courage deserves praise."

"Hehe." Yan was embarrassed by the praise. "I'm just glad the Queen doesn't say I'm a spendthrift."

"Of course not!"

Keisha's gaze deepened: "But now we have a new possibility. Breaking the curse that civilizations cannot survive for more than 100,000 years is our true future."

"Yan, your future should be chosen by yourself!" Her words were resolute. "Whether it's the power of the Milky Way or anything else, the future of the angels no longer needs to be bought with the sacrifice of any warrior's will."

These words finally eased Yan's anxiety, which had been building since she saw the memory copy. She knelt on one knee: "Yes, for the future of the angels!"

If it weren't for the survival of the Angel Civilization, who would want that coward Ge Xiaolun?

Not only did he only join the army for the sake of a pretty girl, but she also assumed that he wasn't enlightened enough at the time.

But what did he do when he actually fought Taotie?

The local troops were far behind in terms of weaponry. Those soldiers used their flesh and blood to hold off the enemy, but when they, who were regarded as saviors, fell, he, who had been trained for several months, was able to say to Rose, "If we can't beat them, let's run away!"

Based on this alone, he had no chance with the Thunder God of War.

At this moment, He Xi, who had been engrossed in the data stream, raised her head: "Yan, don't just get emotional, quickly give me a detailed report on the known functions of the chat group."

Especially that "enlightenment" feature—are you sure it can keep someone bursting with inspiration and mentally sharp for a long time?

Yan nodded affirmatively.

He Xi slammed her hand on the research table, her face filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred: "This kind of heaven-defying ability that can increase research efficiency a thousandfold is actually bound to a brute who only knows how to fight? It's such a waste!"

She paced around the research table in a frenzy, as if she couldn't wait to extract the chat group from Yan's body and study its binding mechanism.

For He Xi, who had a bunch of research topics and no clear direction, the allure of the Enlightenment Function, which allowed her to maintain a highly efficient state of comprehension, far surpassed anything else.

"Old hag..." Queen Keisha's languid voice rang out with obvious teasing.

She rested her chin on her hand, watching her friend's rare loss of composure with great interest: "You're over 30,000 years old and still jumping around like a child, all for an enlightenment function? Your obsession with research is truly unwavering for ten thousand years."

He Xi stopped and glared at Keisha, annoyed. "Tomboy! What do you know? This is a magical tool that keeps you in a state of constant inspiration! It's the ultimate key to breaking through knowledge barriers!"

"If I had it, I could quickly upgrade the space-based computing cluster and elevate the angel technology tree once again. Giving it to a brute who only knows how to throw punches... it's like casting pearls before swine!" She became more and more angry as she spoke, and her fingers trembled uncontrollably.

Keisha chuckled, her golden eyes full of mockery: "Oh? How about I have Yan ask the group members if they can switch the chat group to you? Maybe they think you, old hag, are more suitable."

"You!" He Xi choked for a moment, then slumped her shoulders in dejection, muttering, "If it were really possible to exchange, I'd trade half of the Merlo Heavenly Court's research database for it!"

She looked at Yan again, her eyes so fervent they could melt anyone's heart: "Yan, is it really impossible for the chat group to be transferred or have its functions shared?"

Seeing the resentful look on Tianji King's face, Yan could only try to keep his expression in check and shook his head, saying, "Let me explain again, I'm not just good at throwing punches; swordsmanship is what I'm best at."

Then, under the expectant gaze of the other party, she finally plunged the knife into He Xi's heart: "I'm sorry, Lord Tianji, the chat group binding is non-transferable, and the enlightenment function cannot be shared with others."

He Xi sighed deeply, looking as if he had missed the greatest treasure in the entire known universe.

Queen Keisha let out a pleasant chuckle, clearly finding her friend's frustrated state of unfulfilled desire quite amusing.

This isn't a joke, it's a recommendation for the treasure book "Swallowing the Stars: The Golden Finger Only Arrives When You're Almost a God?"
