"Forget about the indenture. I just found this energy stone. It came into my hands by accident, but it is useless to me."
"You seem to need it very much, so take it and use it."
Lao Wang looked at Su Qi with some surprise.
to be frank.
He and his mechanical companions had the same idea, which was to get their hands on this energy stone.
I have already prepared myself for the other party to ask for an exorbitant amount of money.
But I didn't expect that Thunderbolt would be so straightforward and directly mortgage himself.
What I didn’t expect was that Su Qi didn’t want anything!
"You boy!" Lao Wang gave a thumbs up: "You are a good man!"
Hey.
comfortable.
This was the first time someone praised him as a good person after going through countless copies.
So touching.
Although my real purpose is to play the long game and catch a big fish, it’s not a big problem.
An energy stone was nothing to him, and the indenture of a mechanical life form was not what he needed.
The Divine Mechanical Kingdom has been destroyed, and they are most likely the last world to exist.
As the only one who controls the [Heart of the Divine Machine], he naturally has to take action.
The Church of the Unsettled does need a mechanical lifeform branch.
but.
Su Qi saw that Lightning and Thunderbolt did not use it to restore their energy, but instead took out a protective box that was quite sophisticated in a place full of waste, and carefully put it in.
“You don’t use it?”
Lightning shook his head:
"Someone needs it more than we do."
"So."
And Thunderbolt said solemnly, "Please follow us. Since you have given us a gift, we will naturally give back."
"it is good."
Su Qi didn't care about the other party's feedback. The [Heart of the Divine Machine] that he possessed already contained the secrets of the entire Divine Machine Kingdom. Xiao Meng would control it step by step sooner or later.
He's just curious.
For a place on the brink of collapse, the energy stone was undoubtedly a timely help and a life-saving straw, but they did not use it on themselves.
The two men and two planes walked inside.
Su Qi also saw some other mechanical life forms. It was like entering a company that was about to go bankrupt. Every mechanical life form was like the Human Torch, extremely slow, with creaking joints and red energy.
"Due to the lack of energy, our companions in the base camp have all entered a state of extremely low energy consumption."
"at the same time."
Lightning looked at the large number of transparent and dilapidated cabins around him: "There are still a large number of companions who have entered a dormant state."
Su Qi took a look and to be honest, there were quite a few mechanical life forms underground, but most of them had entered standby or hibernation mode.
"We are all suppressed and hunted by the Dark Spark. Due to the lack of energy, even though we are all elite, we are now unable to hold on."
Thunderbolt said softly: "If you fall into a dormant state, it won't be that easy to restart."
"Of course, there are humans as well. People from the past like Lao Wang work hand in hand with us."
"We will also contact those adventurers in the present world, but the contact is not deep. Everyone gets what they need."
indeed.
There are other humans here too.
Like Lao Wang, they not only come from ancient times, but also have traces of mechanical transformation.
Their relationship with mechanical life forms is completely different from that with real living beings.
"Adventurers from the present world?" Someone's eyes moved slightly.
Many people noticed the young man brought by Lightning and Thunderbolt Lao Wang.
"How would it appear here."
They looked tired and confused. After all, everyone came here again after a day of mining.
but.
But no one asked much, as everyone was busy assembling and debugging, and time was very tight.
Lao Wang said softly: "Most of us in the past were ordinary sequencers. If they had not been transformed, they would have died in the mining area long ago."
He looked at the mechanical life forms still functioning around him: "And the rest of us are struggling to hold on for hope."
Su Qi looked at this scene and said softly: "Then here comes the question."
"What is your hope? Judging from the current situation, you seem to have no chance of winning against the Black Fire that controls everything."
Lao Wang pressed Su Qi's shoulder and whispered, "Boy, can you speak with a higher emotional intelligence?"
He gestured: "High emotional intelligence! Understand!?"
"Then I'll be more tactful."
Su Qi looked at everyone and said, "Even if the Black Spark didn't take action, you are on the verge of collapse and self-destruction. I was wondering why you didn't work together with the adventurers in the real world. Now I understand that a mechanical life form that has lost its energy source is only a step away from extinction and becoming waste."
He whispered to himself, "For adventurers, benefits and value are what they need, and burdens obviously do not exist here."
Lao Wang's eyes widened: "You kid!"
The people around looked a little angry.
Although it was Su Qi who was answering Lao Wang, the voice was not hidden, and it pierced through their current situation like a sharp sword.
Lightning and Human Torch just fell silent, while the other mechanical life forms all looked silently at Su Qi. For them, there was no way to refute because Su Qi was right.
"you"
There was another mecha next to it, walking towards Su Qi with heavy steps. It was silver-white in color and several meters tall.
But it is filled with a steady and heavy sense of oppression.
Its eyes, filled with boundless aura, looked down at Su Qi.
"In our past battles, we have experienced countless life-and-death moments. There has never been a desperate situation for us. Everyone is trying their best."
"You, an outsider."
"Are you taking everything too simply?"
Su Qi didn't care what the people around him thought. He said softly:
“Maybe it’s because I’ve seen too much.”
"I don't want my gift to just help you prolong your life or recharge your energy." He stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers, and a ball of starlight appeared at his fingertips: "Just like a spark, before it extinguishes and collapses, I also want to see it turn into the value and potential of the sun."
Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, the spark in Su Qi's hand instantly expanded, lighting up the entire underground area!
The dark underground city, which was originally built to save energy, suddenly became dazzling.
This is what makes Spark so awesome.
The light is sufficient.
The visual effect it brings is also very good, and the most important thing is that it is free.
"So, stop showing me junk."
"And please ask again, what exactly is your hope?" Su Qi said softly, "If there is nothing, then I'm sorry, I have to go and find other people who are truly valuable and capable of resisting."
Everyone fell silent, and the atmosphere was somewhat frozen.
Su Qi took in the whole scene but did not say anything. He did not have the time or patience to do anything. For serious illnesses, strong medicine should be used.
The heavy mecha in front of him leaned slightly: "My name is Li Batian, your name."
"Su Buxian, outsiders respectfully call me the leader."
"."
"Okay, Su Buxian." It turned around slowly: "You convinced me, now follow me."
Lightning and Human Torch looked at each other, "Captain."
"You guys are coming too."
They, including Lao Wang, paused for a moment, and then followed.
Lao Wang poked Su Qi.
"Why, are you trying to sneak some Spirit Mark coins into my pocket?"
"." Lao Wang shook his head helplessly. He sighed softly and said beside Su Qi:
"Are you kidding me?"
He is also a veteran, with experience and age. Su Qi's words directly attacked the pain points here, and his words also showed one thing, which seems to be able to bring light to ignite sparks.
Su Qi paused: "Guess?"
Lao Wang: "Guess whether I guess or not. Guess bullshit!"
He exhaled, and his wrinkled face showed a little fatigue: "Anyway, you are talking too much, kid. Don't underestimate everything here."
They were walking towards the depths. The dilapidated corridor was very clean. They could see a large number of thick cables around it, like huge pipes, winding towards a heavy metal door inside.
"boom!"
Li Batian stretched out his hand, grabbed the bottom of the giant metal door, and tried to lift it up with some difficulty, but the energy in his body flickered slightly, and the giant door suddenly fell a few inches.
Lightning and Thunderbolt looked slightly doubtful.
