Chapter 541: Chapter 438, Deal Made_1
Through his conversation with the Cranial Rat, Fang Hao gleaned some information.
These Cranial Rats have created a world of their own beneath Lyss City. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Employing their intelligence, which rivals that of humans, they manage and operate this underground world.
The Cranial Rats have built a world for rats under Lyss City, and they also use the complex labyrinth of underground tunnels to form a network connecting to the surface world.
With their convenient living conditions, they can learn about anything happening in the surface world.
Regardless of whether you are a common peddler or a City Lord or a noble living in this city,
No deeds of yours will evade the watchful eyes and keen ears of these rats.
Today, the Cranial Rat brought Fang Hao here specifically to exchange information with him.
Information about the Faceless targeting him and Rebecca.
The condition for the information exchange, are the gene barriers that the Cranial Rat mentioned.
If the Gene Barrier was proposed by the Goblins who have a complete energy system,
Fang Hao would be slightly surprised, but would easily accept it.
However, hearing about genes and barriers from the mouth of a rat in the sewers of Lyss City,
Feels unspeakably strange.
“Human, the conditions are equivalent. The information we know concerns your life, and what we need also concerns our future. Hence, the price for the exchange is reasonable,” the Cranial Rat spoke up again.
Fang Hao believes that these rats could get some news that they did not know about.
However, he did not buy the idea that the plan of the Faceless endangered his life.
It would be difficult for entities like the Faceless, given their capabilities, to target him as he has four heroes by his side and 200 eighth-order Lionheart Knights for protection.
It’s the same for Rebecca, who has the protection of the Lyss City army. It is impossible for her to be in danger.
Even if he did not believe that his life was in any danger,
Still, Fang Hao intends to make a successful first trade with the Cranial Rat in any possible way.
The Cranial Rats have an information-gathering ability that they lacked, and a first contact also laid the groundwork for future cooperation.
“That’s indeed reasonable, but I know little about gene stuff. Why don’t you name a few specifics so that I can see if I can provide, or if I have something similar to substitute,” Fang Hao said with a smile.
Yet, he does not care much about the plan from the Faceless that the Cranial Rat has mentioned.
The Cranial Rats discussed again, before speaking again: “Materials for gene research, alchemical potions which improve special bloodlines or more advanced inheritances.”
It seems that the Cranial Rats have quite an understanding of the outside world.
In Fang Hao’s understanding of this world, there are three ways to obtain special powers.
These are bloodline inheritance, divine gift, and self-improvement through acquired means.
Transmigrators, who learn skills from books, simplify the difficulties in learning and breakthrough and have it easier than the natives.
However, the natives—including the group of Cranial Rats before him—have to observe these three rules to break the status quo.
Breaking down genes can be considered a way to change bloodlines by external forces.
This may be due to the Cranial Rats’ habit of reading books and obtaining knowledge from various sources.
Still, while having the methods, obtaining the necessary materials remained a challenge.
Hence their hope of exchanging necessary items with Fang Hao.
Fang Hao did not immediately respond, considering what he could offer for exchange.
He had money and perhaps could purchase bloodline-improving potions from the Trade Alliance.
However, such potions are likely rare, and it may take a long time to obtain them.
This inevitably extends the timeline.
Just when Fang Hao was about to reply and offer to buy the potions, Demitrija quietly reminded him, “My Lord, there’s a corpse of a Demon Rat hero within our territory.”
Right!
Fang Hao’s eyes lit up.
Not long ago, during the Demon Rat migration mission, a corpse of a Demon Rat hero was left behind.
Due to fears of the plague, Fang Hao had it sealed in a stone coffin and buried underground to later determine whether the corpse carried any virus after Nelson’s return.
The corpse was still buried outside the city.
The corpse of this Demon Rat hero could be considered as research material that Cranial Rat had mentioned.
He could offer the corpse to the Cranial Rats if they needed it.
However, it was the corpse of a purple hero, and extra charges were necessary for the trade.
After confirming his decision, Fang Hao said, “I have the corpse of a Demon Rat hero. Not sure if this meets your needs.”
The brains of the Cranial Rats began to resonate collectively.
Then, the leading Cranial Rat said, “We are satisfied with your trade, the news we shall tell you….”
Right before the Cranial Rat could speak, Fang Hao interrupted again.
“This is a whole, purple hero’s corpse. Its value definitely surpasses just one piece of information, so I’m demanding an addition to the trade conditions, in order to make this deal fair.”
Hearing that it was a purple hero, the Cranial Rats showed their true nature.
They no longer communicated with a collective consciousness, instead, the various rat individuals started making chittering noises, causing chaos all around.
All the Cranial Rats were in disarray, and even the leading rat could no longer speak human language. It turned and began chittering loudly, calming the chaotic scene.
The brains of the Cranial Rats reorganized a collective consciousness, allowing the leading Cranial Rat to speak once more.
