"Besides that, we have also mastered a new method of secondary formatting, which allows us to capture those Primitive Mechanical Bodies on a large scale for formatting, thereby obtaining a significant amount of energy to sustain our existence. Based on this, we, the Peace Council, along with the Alliance Council and the Dark Exile Council, signed a trilateral trade agreement eight million years ago. We agreed to jointly issue the Wandering Coin and implement a series of economic rules. Therefore, here you need not worry about darkness or unfair treatment; you will earn what you work for, and we refuse to support laziness. This is our fundamental principle. Because of this, the external information you possess will be extremely valuable. On behalf of the council, I am now formally offering to purchase information regarding the changes in the outside world over the past two thousand years. Once this information is acquired by us, you will no longer be able to sell the same information to members of the Peace Council or Alliance Council, though it is not restricted to the Dark Exile Council and the Avengers Council. However, believe me, given your current weak strength, it is better not to deal with them. As for the price for this information acquisition, it is initially set at 100,000 Wandering Coins. However, if you possess particularly important information when selling it, for every question we ask—regardless of whether you know the answer—you can earn an additional income ranging from a minimum of 1,000 Wandering Coins to a maximum of 10,000 Wandering Coins. What do you think?"
"Of course, there is one more thing. In consideration of fairness and justice, our inquiries about the information you hold will not be free. Likewise, if you wish to inquire about information regarding this wandering world, it will not be free either. Other than basic information, charges will depend on the circumstances. You should understand this."
After hearing Administrator Boulder's explanation, Lin Yuan was quite shocked. He had no particular concerns about other matters, but those Primitive Mechanical Bodies being mutated from the Ancient Protozoan Virus was astonishing. He remembered how Snow Wind had once frightened him by saying he might have been infected with the Ancient Protozoan Virus. Now he found himself in direct contact with its mutated form in this Exiled World. The thought of having been in close proximity made him shudder. No wonder even someone as powerful as Patroller Black Whirlwind was so distressed; his opponent was simply too strong!
After a brief silence, Lin Yuan rummaged through his Five-Dimensional Key Space and pulled out some scrap parts before quickly assembling an external audio communication system. After all, considering the current situation with the Peace Council, which seemed quite expensive, he needed to save as much as possible. A primitive voice communication system shouldn't cost 0 Wandering Coins.
After making some simple adjustments, Lin Yuan spoke oddly: "Mr. Administrator Boulder, thank you for your explanation. And thank you as well, Mr. Patroller Black Whirlwind, for your rescue. My identification number is bj-ly1496871. I am quite shocked. I agree in principle to sell all the information I possess; however, my status in the Mechanical Empire is lowly, so I may not have much information to offer. Please bear with me."
Upon hearing this from Lin Yuan, both Administrator Boulder and Patroller Black Whirlwind seemed quite surprised—not by what he said but by his identification number.
"You are a Puppet Mechanism?"
The disbelief in Administrator Boulder's voice was palpable.
"Uh, sir, I don't understand what you mean? I am a legal Secondary Citizen of Mechanical City. I don't think I'm a Puppet!” At that moment, Lin Yuan began to grasp what was happening because twenty million years ago in the Mechanical Empire, those who truly held status were the native Mechanical Bodies, which were akin to human children growing up gradually into full-fledged beings—not someone like him who was assembled directly from mechanical parts. It felt rather disheartening; it was like a counterfeit always lacking the courage to face an authentic item.
"Cough cough! You needn't be nervous; in fact, time has passed for two million years and perhaps significant changes have occurred since then. However, I must sincerely advise you that regarding your identification number—in the context of the Peace Council, you should not face any danger; but if the Alliance Council and the Dark Wanderers Council learn of your identity, they may not kill you but will certainly not recognize your fair status either—they will only see you as a slave or servant. Therefore, I will keep today's matters confidential for free." The seriousness in Administrator Boulder's tone indicated that perceptions between Puppet Mechanisms and native Mechanical Bodies were indeed very significant.
"Heh heh! I won't make things difficult for this friend; however, as a condition for keeping secrets, I need to ask three questions unconditionally—of course, if you don't know the answers that's fine." The casual tone of Patroller Black Whirlwind contrasted sharply with his previous demeanor.
"I don't need any questions; however, I am quite interested in that long spear in this guy's hand—tch tch! It even incorporates dark demon alloy; that's some good stuff." At that moment, another individual named Patroller Blackfish, who was also a mechanical lifeform, chuckled as he eyed Lin Yuan's Ghost Spear. However, he referred to the dark demon race's Dark Core as dark demon alloy—a rather interesting piece of information indeed.
“Patroller Blackfish, you better not go too far!” Administrator Boulder said in a deep voice, looking quite righteous.
“Go too far? I don’t think so. With this guy’s ant-like strength, anyone could easily crush him. What does it matter if he has a long spear? He can’t go out hunting anyway. Giving it to me is just putting it to good use. Of course, I know this is a bit excessive. Here’s the deal: consider it as me owing you three level-three questions. You’ll thank me later,” Patroller Blackfish replied nonchalantly.
“Alright, I accept that condition. However, how can I be sure you will keep your promise?” Lin Yuan interjected, as he believed this was the most important point.
“Haha, you don’t get it, do you? Do you know why you are a Puppet Mechanism while we are the noble Native Mechanical Life? The reason lies right here. You inferior beings—oh, no offense intended—are quick to go back on your word, treacherous and full of schemes. But we, as Noble Native Mechanical Life, once we make a promise, we will never go back on it. That is the pride of being the highest life form; it cannot be tarnished!” Patroller Black Whirlwind laughed heartily. (To be continued...)
