In the meeting hall on Sky Pillar Mountain.
An old man with white hair sat on the main seat while the muscular Wang Xing and a small-eyed Fatso sat on his left. Meanwhile, an ordinary-looking man with a poker face sat on his right.
The four of them were the regional chief and deputy chief of Zone 17.
Wang Xing, who sat on the old man's left, spoke all of a sudden as soon as the old man was done speaking.
"Regional chief, my real self said that I have a deal to discuss with all of you."
"A deal?" Pang Bing raised his brow when he heard that. "What deal?"
"A participant came to my real self approximately half an hour ago. He said that he brought a lot of food and resources with him, and he wants to trade them with us," Wang Xing explained. "My real self has checked the food that he can provide. Apart from meat, there are vegetables, fruits, and even drinks such as alcohol. It's obvious that this participant came prepared. "
Food was the scarcest resource in this space. Since they came to this world, they basically only ate meat. There were no vegetables or fruits at all. The reason being that the land was too barren, they could not plant anything at all. Let alone drinks such as alcohol.
The three of them could not help but gulp when they heard that.
"This prison is extremely barren. What does this participant want?" Although Pang Bing was tempted, he remained rational.
"He said that he only wants the storage equipment that we can't decrypt," Wang Xing stated the terms of the deal.
"He's dreaming, exchanging food for storage equipment. If he decrypts any of the storage equipment, the food that he can exchange for is enough to form hundreds of Sky Pillar Mountains. "The poker face scoffed, clearly dissatisfied with the terms of the deal.
"Old Ning, you can't say that. Those storage equipment are valuable outside, but they're a pile of trash if we can't decrypt them in this prison. Even if there are god relics, god items, and god-level methods in them, they're still trash if we can't take them out! Food is the scarcest resource we have in this prison. Why can't we exchange a pile of trash for scarce resources? "Fatso, who was sitting next to Wang Xing, offered a different opinion.
The poker face scoffed but did not argue.
"Old Wang, what do you think?" Pang Bing turned his head to look at Wang Xing's clone next to him.
"I agree with Huyan. We can't decipher these storage equipment, so there's no point in keeping them. Some of them have been there for thousands of years and still can't be opened. Even if there's really something good inside, it's useless if we can't take it out. We might as well exchange it for food. "Wang Xing and Fatso had the same opinion.
"Why didn't your main body just capture that brat and force him to hand over all the food?" Poker Face questioned Wang Xing.
"That's what I thought at first, but the kid said that they have an organization that wants to work with us in the long term. This was the first time they worked together, and he was the only one who brought ingredients. He wanted to see if there was a chance of success. As long as the first cooperation was successful, every time the trial opened in the future, dozens of their members would bring food to trade, and the trade volume would be more than ten times that of this time. Moreover, if we need any food in the future, we can give him a list and order it. "Wang Xing's doppelganger relayed the explanation of the main body.
"Bullsh * t. The next time the Imperial Family Trials are held in this space, who knows how many decades it will be. You believed him when he said he wanted a long-term partnership?! Who doesn't know how to make empty promises?! "Poker Face had disdain written all over his face.
"Won't we know if he's just making empty promises after taking Huyan's test?" Wang Xing turned his head and looked at Fatso who was next to him.
"I'm fine with it. It's just testing an immortal-level. It doesn't take much effort, "Fatso said while spreading his arms.
"That's settled then. Old Wang, bring him here with your main body. We'll let Huyan take the test first. We'll talk to him after he passes the test. If he doesn't pass the test, we'll kill him right away. "Pang Bing eventually made up his mind after listening to the trio's discussion.
Poker Face crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked away in disgust. However, he did not object to it anymore.
Thousands of kilometers away, Wang Xing's main body was still staring blankly as he relayed the situation to his clone.
"They've agreed to the trade, but they'll do a test on you before the formal discussion to confirm if the long-term partnership that you mentioned is real. If it's not, they'll kill you right away. "
"Test? Is it similar to a hypnotic interrogation? "Lin Huang raised his brow when he heard that. He could roughly guess what the test was.
"Something like that. There's a deputy regional chief called Huyan Zhuo who's an expert in illusions. He can easily get the information that he wants, "Wang Xing added. "Apart from the information about the partnership, they'll probably seize the opportunity to get some information about the world that you're from."
"Alright, lead the way." Lin Huang nodded while smiling.
Pang Bing and the rest had other ideas, but so did Lin Huang.
Wang Xing brought Lin Huang along and they arrived at the core area of Zone No. 17, Sky Pillar Mountain, approximately 15 minutes later.
It was the tallest mountain in the entire Zone No. 17. It was also where the first chief of the Royal Prison, Wu Bin, lived. Tens of millions of years ago, there were four chiefs in this prison, and Wu Bin was one of them. The four of them established order in the prison, which led to the stable development later on.
To show their respect for Wu Bin, nobody lived on Sky Pillar Mountain ever since. Wu Bin's palace back then gradually became the office in Zone No. 17.
In mid-air, Lin Huang saw many guards around Sky Pillar Mountain from afar. There were at least 30 to 40 of them. Most of them had a combat strength of imperial-level yellow gold-rank while there were a few imperial-level white gold-rank powerhouses.
He was not surprised by that as he had learned about it from Wang Xing.
After landing on the top of Sky Pillar Mountain, Lin Huang followed Wang Xing into the palace directly. Nobody stopped him. The guards did not even bother to look at him. They ignored his existence completely.
Lin Huang thought it must be because Pang Bing had informed them beforehand. Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to step into the palace even with Wang Xing's help.
After entering the palace, Lin Huang realized that the palace was a demigod relic.
Although tens of millions of years had passed, the demigod relic palace still looked brand new. Naturally, apart from being nourished by energy for generations, there should be people who took care of it.
The door closed automatically as soon as Lin Huang stepped into the palace.
In the palace's hall, the white-haired Pang Bing sat on the main seat while Wang Xing and the other two sat on both sides.
However, after Wang Xing's main body arrived, his doppelganger quickly dissipated. His main body strode forward and sat on the doppelganger's seat.
Lin Huang walked forward slowly while smiling.
Just when Pang Bing was going to ask, Nine-tailed Cat released the Nightmare Tapir from the alternate dimension.
When the little white cat landed on Lin Huang's shoulder and stood still, the Nightmare Tapir's eyes turned completely black.
Pang Bing and the other two were dumbstruck. They sat on the chair without moving …
