Global Deities: My Talent Comes from the Stars

Chapter 55 Aftermath

A string of gibberish scrolled wildly across Jane's screen, indicating that the computer had completely crashed.

It wobbled and fell to the ground, clearly bewildered by this age-old problem.

Liang Jiu sighed and didn't bother to ask any more questions.

This AI is sometimes as clever as a goblin, but it starts playing dead when faced with a serious problem.

He couldn't very well actually bite into that piece of metal.

Let's see if the "delicious" quality really exists in it.

I don't have much time left.

With Li Qinggu signing the contract and retreating to the north, and the native kobolds suffering heavy casualties in the undead scourge, the troublesome creatures in the already illuminated areas have been basically cleared out.

Only one company remains, and it is also the least important one.

Divine power flowed around Liang Jiu's body.

Jane quickly recovered from the crash, her divine power transforming into tentacles, tightly embracing the [Wet Component Auxiliary Cluster] she had just extorted, as if afraid that this treasure would be snatched away.

A flash of light.

One person and one machine appeared in a...

In a spacious cave that could barely be called a "dragon's nest".

This place not only had rough walls and dim lighting,

Even the treasure piles that are standard for dragons are just a pitiful layer of broken gold mixed with impurities spread on the ground.

In the corner, you can even see the outline of unfinished rock, with a few iron pickaxes scattered around.

It seems the dragon god revered by the kobolds hasn't finished decorating his dwelling yet... Liang Jiu looked towards the top of the treasure chest.

In the center of that shabby pile of broken gold, Sun Lang was sitting cross-legged.

His face remained pale, and the divine light around him was dim.

Liang Jiu raised an eyebrow, somewhat speechless.

They had just finished a high-intensity divine battle with Li Qinggu, and even the negotiations and spoils distribution were over, but this guy still hadn't made up for the divine power he had lost.

But this is ultimately the path he chose; quality and quantity cannot be achieved simultaneously.

Since you've chosen to cultivate dragon blood elites, you must accept the risks of having a small number of followers and low faith output.

As Liang Jiu fully entered this space.

Sun Lang belatedly realized what was happening and sprang up like a startled bird, instinctively trying to tear open the teleportation rift to escape.

Until he saw who it was.

His gaze swept over Liang Jiu and finally landed on Jian's [Wet Component Auxiliary Cluster].

"You gave Li Qinggu to..." Sun Lang swallowed.

"Surprised?" Liang Jiu casually brushed aside a pile of gold coins at his feet and found a relatively flat rock to sit down.

With a complicated expression, Sun Lang managed to stammer out a few words: "You're ridiculously strong, completely beyond my expectations. But our deal is over, and I must remind you that I have no obligation to conceal information for you. Once we're out of here, you can't keep your strength hidden forever."

"Whatever." Liang Jiu said calmly, "Even if you don't say it, Li Qinggu will. Hiding my abilities isn't my style."

"You won this match, but we'll face each other again in the midterm exam," Sun Lang said.

"What?" Liang Jiu asked casually. "You think you'll be able to beat me a month from now?"

"Among you and the other contenders, you should be considered one of the easier ones to deal with."

"From what I'm saying, you also know information about the other competitors?"

Jane's voice rang in Liang Jiu's mind at an inopportune moment.

"Master, can you really get information by using this kind of reverse psychology? Isn't it a bit too deliberate?"

Liang Jiu's forehead throbbed as he listened.

Sun Lang ignored Jian's rambling and continued talking.

"Su Cheng from the second class of theology, I heard he can already get his subordinates, who are at the second level of the transcendent realm, into the divine realm. Although I don't know how well they're getting along, you definitely won't be able to get past him."

"Whether you can get through or not is not up to you," Liang Jiu replied. "Losing will only mean a hundred years of recuperation in the Divine Realm."

"Forget it, there's no point in arguing with someone like you." Sun Lang waved his hand. "I don't have enough of the basic resources you need. I can't supply enough. Use this instead."

A card flew in, spinning around.

Liang Jiu reached out and caught it.

[100kg of high-quality steel]

[The hard metal possesses the beauty of the industrial age, but unfortunately, it is an industrial age of mere mortals.]

"You managed to access the warehouse of the original owner of the Unclaimed Divine Realm?" Liang Jiu asked, looking at him.

"It's all been emptied out; it's all the leftovers." Sun Lang stood up. "But a greedy guy like you probably won't care, right?"

I bet you have quite a few good things on you.

"You want those things that kobolds use too?"

Seeing that Sun Lang wouldn't budge, Liang Jiu was helpless. He figured that since Sun Lang was also a student, he probably couldn't offer anything substantial.

If Sun Lang truly possessed any wealth, he wouldn't have devised a way to actively eliminate ordinary beings to acquire extraordinary relatives; there was no need for him to choose between quality and quantity.

Without even a decent magical weapon, he's not even as lucrative as Li Qinggu.

As Sun Lang began to dismiss the guests, Liang Jiu didn't linger and left with Jian Song.

"Master, Master, what are you planning to do with this refined steel?" Jane's eyes on the screen sparked with hearts.

(ω)

"How do you think I should use it?"

"I think a good god should allocate resources to his most capable followers, like me! I really want to change my appearance and even have the kobolds carve some nice patterns on me."

"Then why don't I give these to the wage earners?"

"Master, it's not good to give your servants things that are too far ahead of their time. They won't be able to use them properly, and it will bring risks. Although fine steel is just a material and is relatively low-risk, your servants don't have the technology to smelt and forge it. It would be a waste. It would be better to give it to me."

"No, my excellent subordinate has already learned the smelting technique. He also possesses the flames that can refine fine steel, and he is even more capable than you."

"(ಥ﹏ಥ)"

"Waaaah, damn it! Can't you even grant the smallest request of your most loyal divine-powered intelligent processor?"

"If there are any left, maybe I can prepare a Porsche emblem for you."

"(O_O)?"

"Porsche?"

"It's nothing, just consider it a little fashion statement. Next, we need to complete the development of the Unclaimed Divine Realm as soon as possible. You will be the one to descend to earth and deliver the divine decree on my behalf, and bring this gift to the Sin Clan."

"(︶︹︺)"

"All right."

Jane reluctantly used her divine power to leave Liang Jiu's sight.
