Chapter 381: Chapter 284: A New Long-term Cooperation Agreement

For Earthlings, mining the Moon was a long-term project. The profits were not substantial in the short term, but once the entire mining system was set up, wealth would continuously increase.

"Alright, take it slow."

"Both human planes have found their respective directions for development."

"If they could clear the Mountain and Sea Realm and obtain its Supernatural System, they would definitely reach a higher level."

Wang Hao was quite satisfied. Whether it was Earth or Blue Star, they were both under his control as human forces.

He spent some time studying this interface. He could issue special tasks, adjust tax rates, or even accelerate the development of human civilization through direct gifts.

Since he had no particular preference for either civilization and had nothing worth giving, this feature remained unused. (In reality, he was just stingy, broke, and lazy.)

Wang Hao fiddled with the synthesizer for a while. There were all sorts of supernatural materials, with kinds numbering over a thousand and quantities in the tens of thousands.

Whether stripped from bizarre creatures or natural minerals, they had them all.

Stored in the warehouse, it was densely packed to the point of dizzying.

It felt like not knowing where to start.

The count of "sources" had also broken through ten thousand!

But when it came to spending, that amount still didn’t feel safe enough.

After all, the synthesizing feature had no guarantees!

It was like the Rune Language in "Diablo", with 33 runes to combine without any guide, how many people could come up with a valid rune combination?

Even the Miracle Formulas that humans had figured out themselves weren’t plentiful, given the limited resources and human civilization’s superficial understanding of the supernatural. The difficulty of developing formulas was still quite significant.

Wang Hao couldn’t help but lament, "Having the machine to synthesize Strange Objects but no theory feels like something’s missing. This damn ’Game’ doesn’t even provide any hints, such a huge feature being unused."

Just then, a red letter popped up on the screen.

[Demon God·Moon of Illusion, imprisoned for unknown reasons, has shifted its stance and wants to establish a long-term cooperation with you. Would you be willing to spend 20,000 points to permanently purchase 1 Power of Illusion/day... Yes/No?]

[If you accept, the existing free contract (supplying 10 points of Power of Illusion per month) will be nullified.]

"What’s this... a permanent monthly card?"

Wang Hao did the math. 20,000 points could directly buy 200 Power of Illusion.

According to the previous contract, the Moon of Illusion would supply 10 points of Power of Illusion for free each month.

The new contract, offering 1 Power of Illusion/day, meant an extra 0.666 per day, taking 300 days to break even.

"300 days to break even? Why would I buy this crap? It makes no sense!" He immediately clicked [No].

Game points were the real currency. Power of Illusion wasn’t solid enough.

...

...

"Ah! He rejected it, he actually rejected me!" Wang Yueyue clenched her fists, furiously roaring as her facial expression began to distort.

Thinking about returning to that dark, endless ordeal after being rejected made her feel dreadful.

"I want to eat Grandma’s dumplings. I also want to buy a smartphone..."

Those points were her living expenses, her rights to live here!

Without points, she couldn’t do anything.

"I’ll endure! Someday, I’ll escape this place and catch the boss to cook every day!"

...

After Wang Hao clicked [No], another line of text quickly popped up on the screen.

[Demon God·Moon of Illusion, wants to establish a long-term cooperation with you. Would you be willing to spend 15,000 points to buy a permanent 1 Power of Illusion/day cooperation? Yes/No]

"Endless, huh? There’s still room to bargain." Wang Hao clicked [No] again.

He seemed to speak to the void, "1,000 points, I might consider. But it would still take 15 days to break even, that’s my limit!"

He directly slashed the price by 67%.

...

"1000 points?!" Wang Yueyue heard Wang Hao’s words, and she was ready to explode.

Her face swelled like a red balloon, as if a gentle touch would cause it to burst.

But after a good while.

"I think you’re bargaining. I’ll endure your antics!"

...

[Demon God·Moon of Illusion, while providing the Power of Illusion, is willing to share its knowledge. Would you be willing to spend 10,000 points to purchase a permanent 1 Power of Illusion/day cooperation contract... Yes/No?]

[Upon purchasing this service, you can use a certain amount of ’sources’ to inquire about Miracle Formulas. If it lacks the necessary knowledge, the consultation fee will be refunded. (This feature can be made available to guests.)]

[Note: This is the lowest price it can afford. Further bargaining will result in a loss of interest in the conversation.]

Wang Hao took a deep breath, "So I can inquire about formulas from this Demon God."

No, he still didn’t want it and clicked [No] again.

That was 10,000 points! That was 10,000 dollars earned by racking his brains!

The advancements of human civilization, what did he care? Idling each day was still progress, and there weren’t any world-level disasters now.

"How about this, 8,000 points is my limit. Not a penny more!"

With that decision, Old Wang took off his helmet and went to take a shower.
