Chapter 239: Coercion and Inducement
"This is our Selros storage room. Take a look around. We will trade with whatever you like."
After sweeping the storage room, Klee's eyes finally stopped on Li Ming. His eyes were full of confidence, as if the items in this storage room were all precious.
Li Ming returned a look to the other party, then walked into the storage room, looking at each item carefully.
There were three rows of shelves facing the door of the storage room. Li Ming walked slowly from one end of the shelves to the other, his eyes flashing with green light, and everything could not escape his sharp eyes.
The first row of shelves were all some materials. These materials were not rare, but they were not common. They were medium-level items. Some could be used for alchemy, and some could be used for synthesis. They were indeed useful for masters like Li Ming, but Li Ming disdained them.
Coming to the second row of shelves, some precious materials began to appear. Some were placed in star bags, and some were placed directly on the surface of the shelves. Most of these materials were used to synthesize stardust weapons and were relatively valuable.
There are many kinds of things, and Li Ming can recognize them all, but this is not what Li Ming needs most at the moment.
Klee began to follow Li Ming's footsteps and pay attention to Li Ming's expression at all times. Li Ming looked at them and shook his head slightly. Obviously, these things were not pleasing to his eyes.
Li Ming's footsteps stopped when he came to the last row of shelves. The last row of shelves was a certain distance away from the previous two rows. There were four tables in this distance, and there was something on each table.
Li Ming's eyes swept slightly and immediately recognized that the things on these four tables were star books.
Klee saw Li Ming's interested eyes, smiled and said: "These star books are the most precious things of us Selros people, and they are also relatively rare things in intelligent civilization. If you are not an intelligent civilization, don't look at these."
Li Ming smiled, glanced at Klee, and walked towards one of the tables, saying at the same time: "Klee, are you going to exchange these miscellaneous things for mutant crystals? It seems... you are not sincere about the transaction."
As he spoke, Li Ming reached out and took the star book on the table in his hand, and began to read the contents with his eyes focused.
Klee chuckled twice and said, "I don't quite understand what you said. If I wasn't sincere in the deal, I would never bring you to this storage room. If you are not satisfied with the things here, then... I have no choice."
Li Ming ignored the other party and continued to look at the star book in his hand.
Klee continued, "I know the value of the things here very well. You may not know the use of some things. If necessary, I can explain it to you."
Li Ming still ignored the other party, but his mind had been withdrawn from the star book. Then Li Ming walked to another table and picked up the star book to look at it carefully. However, this time Li Ming said, "Klee, since you don't want to say it, then I will say it for you. Don't you have a Baigui among you Selros people?"
As soon as these words came out, Klee was stunned and stared at Li Ming intently. His lips trembled for a long time without speaking.
Li Ming did tell the secret in Klee's heart, but at the same time, this made Klee a little worried.
There is no doubt that precious items like Bai Gui cannot be taken out easily, but since Li Ming knows this secret, he probably came for this purpose. Moreover, Li Ming is powerful and can easily kill three ninth-level people in seconds. He cannot afford to offend him.
Klee was thinking quickly in his mind, but Li Ming had finished reading the star book in his hand and quickly walked to the next table.
"Klee, what's the point of keeping Bai Gui in your hands? It is no exaggeration to say that such a thing will only bring disaster to you, or even genocide, in the hands of you Selros people. Don't you understand this?"
Li Ming said while looking at the star book in his hand.
Klee still stood there motionless. He originally wanted to find an excuse to cover up the matter, but from what Li Ming said, he seemed to be sure that Bai Gui was in his hands.
"So... your real purpose is actually for Bai Gui?!"
Klee did not deny it and asked directly.
Li Ming did not reply immediately. After reading the star book in his hand, he came to the last table, picked up the last star book, and said with a smile: "Your star books really opened my eyes and refreshed my understanding of intelligent civilization."
While speaking, he had begun to carefully read the star book in his hand.
Klee was a little nervous at this time, staring at Li Ming without blinking, and said: "Who are you?!"
Li Ming looked at the star book seriously, snorted, and said: "I am here to save you."
"Huh?!"
Klee made a sound of surprise, and continued to look at Li Ming with wide eyes.
Li Ming was still calm, and said: "If you think Bai Gui is more important than your people, then not only will your people be exterminated in the future, but even Bai Gui will not belong to you. This... Don't you understand it?"
Klee's eyebrows shrank, and he seemed to be thinking about something under his blinking eyes.
"Huh, you mean, you want to exterminate our people?!"
Klee seemed to have thought of the worst plan.
But when Li Ming heard this, he glanced at the other party with disdain and said coldly: "Stupid!"
"If I wanted to take action, I would not save you. Don't think that your possession of Baigui is a secret that no one knows. And with the current strength of your race, you are not worthy of having such a thing. In addition to being exterminated, Almost useless!"
Li Ming said sternly.
These words were expressed very clearly, and Klee also understood the intention of Li Ming's words.
Li Ming quickly read the star book in his hand, then put it back on the table, turned his eyes to Klee, and said: "You can keep your people safe by handing Bai Gui to me. I will kill the Betbit people." Yes, I got Baigui again. You can let the news out and ask them to find me, so you can avoid danger. "
"Moreover, I will also give you some benefits. For you, this is the best result,"
Li Ming's words seemed to remind the other party, but they also contained a hint of warning, but he added some inducements at the end of the words.
After hearing these words, Klee had to carefully consider the pros and cons.
Just when Klee was hesitating, Li Ming flipped his right hand, blue light flashed, and two things appeared in his palm. These two things were not big, but the ninth-order civilization recognized them at a glance. One was a mutated crystal, and the other was Starshine.
"Do as I just said, and I will give you both of these two things."
If what Li Ming said just now about giving benefits to the other party was just a verbal expression, then the two things he took out now were the most direct way to express those words.
Klee was still hesitant at first, but when he saw these two things, Klee's eyes couldn't help but light up.
"Okay...I agree!"
Klee finally replied. This answer is also the result of careful consideration.
Although Bai Gui is precious, there is only a ninth-level person like Klee among the entire Sellos people, who is unable to protect such a thing. Once the news of Bai Gui spreads, it is very likely that the clan will be exterminated.
Based on these considerations, Klee could only agree.
Klee took a few steps forward and came to the last row of shelves in the storage room. He tapped his finger lightly on the shelf, and a circle of red ripples slowly spread out, as if his finger touched the water, rippling and flowing across the entire shelf.
The red light flashed, the shelves faded and disappeared, and some round jars appeared in front of them. This jar was beautiful in appearance and looked like a work of art. This is extremely rare among alien civilizations, because aliens pay more attention to practicality and are not interested in Unexpected appearance.
The round jar is made of some kind of meteorite. Not only is the material special, but the appearance is also carefully processed.
Klee then raised his hand and pointed at the jar again, and a white light shot out from the top of the jar. The light spread out in a diffuse manner, as if a light bulb was instantly lit. The light was not dazzling, but just illuminated the surrounding area.
The light lasted for a while and then began to decay, and a white thing appeared.
This object looks like a disk, one foot long and wide, and is white as a whole. There are densely packed black spots in the center of the disk. At first glance, it looks like it is the head of a sunflower.
The crystal clear appearance seemed to be carved from a piece of spar, and it also released a faint energy breath. Li Ming's eyes stared at this object without blinking. With his discerning eyes, he was already sure that this object was Bai Gui. !
