Chapter 121: Delicious Crystals

Elizabeth looked at the ‘person’ in front of her.

The mist-shrouded his head, and two sparks of fire gradually rose.

She bowed with a slight nervousness and activated her electronic voice card. “I’m sorry to intrude again!”

Ling Pingan invited her into the bookstore and then looked at the foreign customer.

The customer’s image had become a bit colder from the last time they met.

Ling Pingan looked at her and felt that this guest seemed to have become a bit uninterested as if she had become a nun.

Considering the current situation, the Buddhism of the federal was also a popular religion in the Land of Qin.

He somewhat understood.

“Dear customer, has the battle with the diablo been going well recently?” Ling Pingan asked.

That was something that he needs to ask.

Although Ling Pingan had never played the Stellaris before, he had heard of it.

One of the reasons was it would cause the player to stay overnight for the game, and the other reason was the equipment that was difficult to get.

Therefore, all kinds of gold getting group and gold getting workshop was formed.

Especially in the Land of Qin, many people relied on getting gold to make a living.

“Thanks to you!” Elizabeth quickly bowed again. “Thanks to the blessings of Buddha and the power of Bodhisattva Gatlin, we have finally eliminated many diablo’s claws!”

At this point, countless feelings of gratitude arose in Elizabeth’s heart.

If not because the ruler in the fog selling holy scriptures like the Gospel for Synthetic Beings to her, she and her world would have been destined to be tragically destroyed under the erosion of the diablos.

And now, the steel altar had been built.

The Great Bodhisattva Gatlin had even personally sent a clone projection to destroy the dark side of the Moon.

With the fall of the dark side of the Moon, the land finally began to have life.

Although it could not be the same as before the void storm, they could see some greens for the least.

Algaes were finally growing in the rivers and lakes.

The vitality of the world began to recover.

If they took a step further and built the mechanical shrine, they could summon the mechanical army loyal to the spirit of synthetic myriad.

They could even let the spirit of all machines come down personally.

Then, the world would be saved!

And all of this was because of him, the great ruler in the fog!

“That’s good! That’s good!” Ling Pingan was extremely happy.

He pushed the leader and dropped the equipment…

Was that meaning that this foreign customer had money to spend?

As for the whatever Bodhisattva Gatlin…

Well, it wasn’t the first day that the Stellaris players were mouthing off.

On the forum, this group of people was one of the groups with the most slang and slutty practices.

Those who could be compared to them were probably the haters and the filial children of the federal.

Therefore, Ling Pingan didn’t have any questions and invited the customer to sit down in front of the sofa.

Then, he picked up a cup and poured a cup of fragrant tea for the customer.

“Please have some tea!” Ling Pingan said with a smile.

Meow!

At that moment, the kitten, Bastet, jumped onto the coffee table.

It stared at the cup of tea covetously.

It seemed to be very dissatisfied with the fact that someone was getting the share of their tea.

So, it growled at the guest in a low voice, which made Ling Pingan chuckled.

How was this little fella trying to scare people?

It lowered its small body and bared its teeth with its little mouth.

Other than acting cute, it probably wouldn’t even scare a mouse!

Could it be that it wanted to kill its opponent by acting cute?

Ling Pingan walked forward and picked it up so that it wouldn’t continue to embarrass itself. At the same time, it comforted the little fella, “Little darling, don’t be anxious. I’ll not let you stay hungry.”

It finally quieted down. It stuck out its tongue and licked the back of Ling Pingan’s hand.

“Hmm…” Ling Pingan turned around and found that the foreign customer seemed to be scared by Bastet. Her body seemed to be trembling.

“Such a coward!” Ling Pingan sighed.

However, that was not strange. Many girls were born timid.

For example his aunt, Ling Pingan remembered very clearly his aunt had just taken over his guardianship and moved to this bookstore to take care of his daily life at that time. One night, she was scared to death by a cockroach. She almost cried.

In the end, Ling Pingan, who was only ten years old, bravely walked over and stomped the cockroach to death.

From then on, Ling Pingan knew.

It was already good enough that his aunt could take care of herself!

“Don’t be afraid!” Ling Pingan hurriedly comforted the customer. “You don’t have to be afraid. This little fellow is my pet…”

“It won’t hurt you!”

If such a kitten could hurt people.

Then wouldn’t the tiger in the zoo be able to destroy the world?

Seeing that the customer was still a little scared, Ling Pingan grabbed Bastet’s two small claws and cupped her fists at the customer. “Look, it’s very obedient!”

Elizabeth felt that her nano-heart was about to explode.

The cat in front of her.

The body of this incredibly small kitten was filled with dense psionic power.

Its claws were extremely sharp, and there was even a hint of starlight.

Elizabeth did not doubt that it only needed to wave its claws slightly to turn her into a pile of parts on the spot.

What made Elizabeth even more afraid to move was that the shadow of a pyramid was reflected behind the kitten.

The prayers of the people rang out endlessly from within the shadow.

As a mechanical nun, Elizabeth recognized it immediately.

That was a prayer from the believers to a god. That was the hope from believers to a god.

In other words, the kitten in front of her was a real god!

Fortunately, the master in the mist was far above her.

With just a light hug, he picked it up and then forcefully grabbed its two claws, asking it to apologize to her.

That made Elizabeth very flattered.

“You think too highly of me!” She quickly bowed and looked at the kitten at the same time, trying to make herself look humbler. At the same time, she handed over the cup of tea in her hand. “I don’t like tea very much…”

The mechanical nun did not need to drink water. Bhikkhuni of Steel did not need to eat.

Therefore, although she knew that this cup of tea had some kind of magical effect.

She still gave it to the cat god. “It’s better if you drink it!”

Meow!

The kitten in the ruler’s arms let out a happy meow, and its amber cat eyes revealed a look of appreciation as if saying, “At least you know your place.”.

But…

The ruler reached out his hand and stopped Elizabeth.

“This tea isn’t worth much… Guest, please drink it…”

“I’ll make a cup for Bastet later…”

The cup was pushed back by the man.

Elizabeth’s nano-heart could not help but jump.

“Guest…” the ruler lowered his head and looked at Elizabeth. The flames in the fog were burning. “Please wait here, I’ll go get the book for you!”

“Thank you, sir!” Elizabeth immediately stood up and bowed again.

“You’re welcome!” The fire in his eyes rose to the surface.

He put down the kitten he was holding and then slowly walked to the Abyss where the asphalt-like liquid was slowly flowing.

She watched his figure disappear into the Abyss.

Meow!

The Cat Goddess named Bastet jumped onto the table.

Her cat eyes looked at Elizabeth as if she could see every nano cell in her body.

At this moment, Elizabeth felt that her quantum brain was about to crash.

Fortunately, she had already received the blessing of steel, so she could barely maintain her composure.

“Please drink!” She hurriedly pushed the teacup in her hand in front of the kitten.

Meow!

The kitten lowered its head proudly and stuck out its pink tongue, licking the golden juice in the teacup.

In a few moments, it had finished the teacup, even swallowing all the tea leaves.

It stretched its body in satisfaction. The pyramid behind it emitted a bit of starlight, which fell on Elizabeth’s body and then integrated into the nano cells and mechanical tissues in her body.

It made her cells more active and the mechanical parts more lubricated.

“Thank you!” Elizabeth immediately bowed. She knew that she had received a great benefit.

Meow!

The kitten let out a proud purr and jumped down from the table. Then, it nimbly jumped onto the chair in the counter and finally landed on the counter. Then, it crouched down and disappeared into the counter.

Ling Pingan walked on the bookshelf and soon found the book he was looking for.

“Stellaris: A Complete Guide for Synth Ascension!” was also an official guide album.

Apart from introducing many of the main points of the mechanical ascension route and the rapid upgrade guide, there were also explanations and introductions to some classic dungeons.

Ling Pingan felt that the foreign customer would probably need it.

Although some of the things in this book were available on the forum.

But the problem was that this book also had an exchange code. The random code could be used to draw a prize in the game, and there was a chance to obtain a high-value skin or carrier.

Many greedy bookstores would scan the exchange code of these official books by themselves, and then place the items they drew in the auction house.

One book with two prices.

Ling Pingan was very principled. He had never done such a thing!

Doing business was the same as being a person. He had always been upright.

Other than the activation codes, the most valuable thing about this book was that it listed a lot of data that the official would not list in the game.

For example, the drop rate of certain equipment, the drop location.

The book for prerequisites for certain skills. The method to obtain certain classic quests, and the methods to accomplish the quest.

These were things that would not be available on the forum!

Whoever dared to post it would be waiting for their account to be sealed.

Therefore, this book was very worthy of its price, 356 Yuan!

With this book in hand, Ling Pingan walked back to the foreign customer and handed it over. “Dear customer, I think there is no book more suitable for you than this!”

“It is the Holy Bible of machinery, the true scripture of steel!”

Elizabeth looked at the book that was handed to her.

Just as she saw it, Elizabeth felt as if she had heard the words of truth of machinery ringing in her ears.

The sound of the materialistic bell reverberated.

Steel turned into thunder, and machinery spewed out raging flames.

On the cover, boiling molten steel gathered slowly.

Finally, the book appeared in her eyes. The name of this holy book of steel was “The Holy Book of Steel”.

It was a Holy book that described how in the future, the incarnation of the spirit of all machines, the bodhisattva Gatlin, would descend to the mortal world to save the suffering and save the people.

It was one of the most supreme classics of machines.

It was also a book of truth that recorded the path of steel.

It not only recorded the key to upgrading the steel altar to the mechanical shrine.

It also recorded the method to summon the steel warriors from the mechanical paradise.

Elizabeth’s breath was quickening.

Because she knew that true scriptures were never easy to obtain.

The monks of the ancient East had to go through eighty-one difficulties before they finally obtained the true scriptures.

And if she wanted to obtain this steel bible, she would probably have to pay more than just the crystals she carried.

She raised her head and asked the supreme being in the fog, “Sir, what price should I pay?”

She heard him say calmly, “356 yuan, thank you.”

The fire in his eyes rose.

Elizabeth lowered her head deeply and took the steel box containing 25 Diablo’s Crystals from her body.

“Sir, this is all I have…” she lowered her head, her face filled with shame. “I used all my strength to get this from the claws of the diablos…”

“I should have worked harder…”

“But…”

She didn’t dare to go too far away from the steel altar now. Otherwise, once she encountered the attacks of the claws of the diablo, the believers who had developed with great difficulty might suffer a great loss!

She couldn’t afford to take such a risk!

Ling Pingan looked at the metal box that the foreign customer had taken out. Inside the box were round crystals.

It seemed to be similar to the crystals from last time.

Because he had lost the customer’s crystals last time, Ling Pingan had been uneasy and thought they were worth a lot.

But now it seemed…

It seemed that these crystals were not something valuable.

Of course…

It was also possible…

A word flashed through Ling Pingan’s mind, blood diamond.

The foreigner’s hometown probably produced this kind of crystal.

But…

He picked up one and looked at it carefully. It looked like a very ordinary stone. At most, it was a little more transparent.

“Is it natural?” Ling Pingan asked.

“No!”

“Oh!” Ling Pingan roughly understood. It should be an industrial product.

It could only be said that the current industrial technology was awesome.

Anything could be processed.

For example, things like diamonds used to be valuable. In the end, it was directly reduced to the price of cabbage by the industrial production capacity of the Federal Empire.

When Ling Pingan was in university, every girl in her class had a diamond bracelet. When asked about the price, it was 300 yuan. It was sold in large quantities at the north gate. If they buy it in a large quantity, there would be a discount!

Now, the only things that could continue to be sold at a high price were gold and jade.

So…

Ling Pingan guessed that the foreign customer might have been hired by some gold getting workshop.

And then they used these industrial products to pay her salary?

Meow!

At this moment, a cat meowed from the counter.

The Kitten, Bastet, jumped down. It paced and climbed onto the coffee table. Then, with lightning speed, it held a crystal in its mouth.

Then, it began to chew.

Ling Pingan had no time to stop it. He could only watch as the thing chewed the crystal and swallowed it.

Then, it swayed as if it was drunk.

“Is it edible?” Ling Pingan was puzzled.

He remembered that before the last crystal disappeared, he seemed to have put it together with the drink, so…

It fell into the drink can and was drunk by himself?

At that time…

Ling Pingan remembered that he was as drunk as the kitten.

So, it was not a crystal, but some alcohol additive?

“Well…” Elizabeth hesitated slightly and nodded.

She naturally did not know if the diablo’s crystal was edible.

But, what kind of existences were here?

An omnipotent supreme.

A Cat God.

There was probably nothing they couldn’t swallow, right?

Ling Pingan scratched his head, picked one up, and threw it into his mouth.

A sweet fragrance entered his mouth.

Then, the entire crystal quickly turned into sweet spring water, refreshing his heart!

Ling Pingan closed his eyes and felt the mellow taste.

It was indeed something good!

And it was also something incredible!

“How much do you plan to sell this thing?” Ling Pingan asked.

As long as the price was right, he could eat all of it.

After all, nothing could stop his journey as a foodie, except the price!

“If you are willing…” the woman said very cautiously, “Just sell this book to me!”

“Then that’s it!” Ling Pingan nodded. The price was within his acceptable range.

Moreover, from the other side’s reaction, he roughly understood that this crystal-like food wasn’t very expensive in her hometown, the so-called United States of America.

It was probably about the same as the beef of the Federal Empire?

Since the customer was willing to let out, he was also willing to let out.

The deal was accomplished!
