Chapter 1157 Two
"Haha, there is something for me, I didn't expect it." The old man was very surprised and opened the package in front of him. "What is it?"
"A pair of sandals, if they are not the right size... Anyway, if you know magic, you can always solve it." Zhao Mai shrugged. "I really don't know what to buy you. In theory, you won't be short of anything, so I picked this to show my appreciation."
"Sandals are a good thing. I've always wanted them. After wearing cloth shoes for so long, this time I can give my toes some air." The old man immediately put on his shoes, and then said to Zhao Mai: "I have all these clothes. The children from the relevant ministries and commissions bought it for me, saying that it was a fairy-like style, very cool and handsome. But I felt that my sleeves were like rags, and I wiped them everywhere. In fact, when I was young, I worked in the fields. My arms were bare and my feet were bare. Fortunately, a cow helped me save my effort, so I had some free time to think about some random things. They prepared this outfit for me because they thought of it. Just wear it, but you have to let me try it on more. Other styles, right? You also know that after you become truly immortal, what you fear most is boredom and solidification. The way they think of me is still a little different from the way I look. I don’t want them to worry, but I can borrow your name and change it. If you put on sandals, they won't say anything! Haha, these sandals fit your feet very well, not bad."
"As long as you like it, I'll send you some windbreakers, Tang suits and other things next time." Zhao Mai slowly drank the tea made by the old man and slowly talked about business. The internal network of the Alliance of Rings was attacked by the Temple of Naikos, and the supernova exploded in the lead-shell stone ball. Apart from the top leaders of the alliance, only Zhao Mai, the participant, knew this best. The old man listened carefully, asked questions from time to time, and then patted the back of his head and thought carefully.
"It would be best if the Alliance Headquarters could wake up from this incident. Anything that remains complacent or even retreats will eventually die. It seems that the lead-shell stone balls are not the only ones on our planet. This shows that Nexus is in Progress, this trend is not good! Relying on the huge body in the past and your performance this time, the Alliance of Rings has managed to survive the difficulties... Sigh!" The old man said to Zhao Mai: "Let's not talk about them, let's talk about us Myself. During the time you left, the scan of the entire universe was completed, and the situation was pretty good. Most of the lead-shell stone balls gathered near the earth, that is, within the solar system, and there were more than a thousand in total. Zero Zero of the Outer Galaxy A few stars can't make any waves. The best news is that there are no lead-shelled stone balls in any of the attached planes."
"Uh... what kind of good news is this?"
"All the auxiliary planes came from the original earth. There are no stone balls among them. It is basically certain that there are no traitors among the transcendents. No one has been used by Nexus - of course, the observer's suspicion is still not complete. Wash it up." The old man stroked his beard, then dipped his finger in the tea and drew two circles on the table. "In two days, the scanning of the Earth over there will begin. Only if there are no lead-shelled stone balls there can we basically determine that the observer has nothing to do with this matter. If he is really involved, that is the problem. start."
Zhao Mai blinked, obviously not quite understanding yet. The old man explained patiently: "The observer uses his wisdom to calculate me and deliberately avoids my perception. This is not a problem in itself. But he needs the help of other detached people, and at least the guarantee of a stand-by attitude from both sides. Only then can we truly launch the plan. If all of us who are transcendent are deceived by one of his non-transcendents, it means that all of us combined still cannot control everything that happens in the original world of the earth. And when the thing that cannot be controlled is precisely Naikos...hehe, then the destruction of the world is basically unstoppable."
"That's unlikely, right? I've asked my Z-worms to search for lead-shelled stone balls as much as possible, and nothing has been found so far. This should be considered good news, right?"
"Of course, of course. What I just said is the worst case scenario, not the most likely scenario. At present, it seems that the power of the original world is stuck between the two parallel worlds, and the earth on both sides can get a part. On the contrary, It's a great thing. It doesn't matter whether there is more or less original power. The presence or absence of original power determines the value of a world. Wider space, greater flexibility, and more choices in the face of disasters. Observation Isn't it true that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other? As long as you make the right efforts, misfortunes can also be turned into opportunities!"
Zhao Mai nodded. According to the information of the Ring Alliance, there is no example of the earth suddenly becoming two worlds sharing the original power. First of all, if the original power is not strong enough, it cannot be divided between the two sides; at the same time, the more powerful the original power is, the less likely it is to be separated. This contradiction is difficult to resolve.
The Alliance of Rings is very interested in the current state of the earth. It has sent a request to the relevant ministries and commissions through the alliance branch, hoping to send researchers to study the current situation, but the request was directly rejected by the relevant ministries and commissions. "Let's wait a hundred thousand years for everything to stabilize." The old man's attitude was very determined. Let others come into contact with the original power of the earth? Why not wait until all the nine transcendental positions are occupied? What's more, the other earth space is currently under the management of Zhao Mai, and the trend of autonomy is obvious. He will definitely not make decisions on all cross-world matters by himself.
"Old man, what do you think should be done with this Nexus scanning and defense system?"
"I have seen this set of things before. The salesman sent by the Ring Alliance at that time was really eloquent. Unfortunately, I don't have the habit of managing money, and I have a stingy temper..." The old man pondered for a while, and then said: "But , the situation is different, we cannot handle the current situation according to the inherent thinking at that time. The headquarters of the Ring Alliance can be attacked, we cannot be arrogant. It is better to install it, so that we can be responsible for the world. Install one here, You also have a good show over there, we detached people will definitely be able to coordinate well. By the way, let Zhong Jianbai find the relevant ministries and commissions to reimburse you, the gold coins of destiny did not fall from the sky."
Can you get some more money? Zhao Mai rubbed his hands and agreed without hesitation. As for the research results produced by the three dragon scrolls, they have been handed over to the relevant ministries and commissions, and Zhao Mai also made a copy himself. He has seen the original version, and the analyzed version can be used to reverse the research methods of the Ring Alliance, and Satiri will definitely be very interested. He had a feeling that if he could master this method before heading to the Dragon Kingdom, it would definitely come in handy.
When he heard that Zhao Mai was going to the Kingdom of Dragon to attend the wedding and would not be able to come back until some time later, the old man laughed: "I've always wanted to visit the Kingdom of Dragon, but they just don't agree. It's not like I want to go. Robbery, why are you so guarded against me? Besides, I have never made elixirs with dragons. A few juniors who don’t know the importance of saying that the technology of dragon elixirs came from me are completely nonsense. If you go over there, if there is anything interesting to do You must tell me. By the way, don't leave in a hurry. Wait until your earth scan is completed before leaving. It will only take about a month, can you wait?"
"That's no problem. That's what I think too. You have to put your heart in your stomach first before running out." Zhao Mai chatted with the old man for a few more words and then left.
Zhong Jian sent him away in vain. He kept holding a white "civilization stick" in his hand, and he seemed to like it very much. It was an artifact-level tool with 3,000 functions. It was said to be able to withstand planet-destroying disasters, teleport within a star system, and even walk on the surface of the sun. It only cost Zhao Mai five hundred gold coins. Every time he sees it, Zhao Mai can't help but take off his 998 sunglasses and sigh.
