American comics: May the Holy Light deceive you

Chapter 92 "The Zhang Family" - 7

Vega and Zhang Ruixuan chatted and drank, occasionally following Xiao Shengxi's instructions to serve her the dishes she liked.

More than half an hour later, all the dishes and rice were gone. The bowls, chopsticks and cups were returned to the kitchen and piled in the sink. Little Shengxi was taken back to her bedroom and put to sleep. Vega led Zhang Ruixuan into the study and they sat down as host and guest.

While making tea, Vega remarked, "I never imagined you would have the ability to traverse the universe. Mutants are truly a uniquely gifted and amazing race."

The investigation team was under his watchful eye the whole time, so even if Zhang Ruixuan secretly approached, he would know exactly what was going on.

He was shocked when he saw Zhang Ruixuan. He never expected that such a person existed, let alone that the other party could cross the universe.

Zhang Ruixuan: "Hehe, I'm not special."

He was telling the truth. The East has a population of over a billion. With such a large base, the number of mutants is naturally also very large, reaching tens of millions.

With so many mutants, there are naturally all sorts of oddballs, and his ability to transform into a golden dragon isn't really that special.

"Whatever you say," Vega poured a cup of tea for each of them, then said, "Since you've come to see me, I believe you should have investigated thoroughly. Rest assured, it's just these people, and I won't be staying in this world for long."

Zhang Ruixuan's heart skipped a beat, realizing it was time to get down to business. He feigned difficulty, saying, "Mr. Li, you've really created a lot of trouble for us."

"Oh, really? Then how about I turn them back into ordinary people?" A playful look appeared in Vega's eyes as he spoke, raising his right hand and a phoenix power appearing in his palm.

Zhang Ruixuan's eye twitched. He had only said that to try and get more benefits in the upcoming negotiations, but why was she acting so unpredictably, trying to overturn the table?

How am I supposed to respond to this? Am I supposed to just watch you turn all those stay-at-home dads and nannies back into ordinary people? The bosses would tear me apart!

Even though he knew Vega wouldn't actually do it, Zhang Ruixuan, unwilling to gamble, quickly reached out and pressed Vega down, pleading, "No, no, no! They're all your family. Can you bear to let them experience power only to turn back into ordinary people?"

Vega: "I couldn't bear to, but I didn't want to cause trouble for the leaders either. Besides, being an ordinary person is great; that's the life I've always dreamed of."

"..." Zhang Ruixuan didn't know how to respond, mainly because he could tell that Vega was telling the truth in what he said later.

Vega: "You can tell me what you need. I will agree to what I can, but I will not agree to what I cannot, no matter what you say."

He prefers to be straightforward; after all, he's really not good at playing mind games.

"Alright, then I'll just say it directly." Zhang Ruixuan also breathed a sigh of relief. He was also a straightforward person, and witty arguments were not suitable for him.

Zhang Ruixuan: "I've made contact with the Divine Spear Bureau in your universe. Director Zheng Xian showed me some intelligence related to you, and we want to make some deals with you."

There's no need to discuss the affairs of Li Weijia and others in this universe. These big dads are currently being fought over by various powerful figures. No one would harm a group of life-saving caregivers, especially since there is a terrifying entity behind them.

Vega: "As you probably already know, I'm no longer trading. You can trade with the Sniper Bureau; they've stockpiled a lot of stuff and even have connections with the dwarves from Norse mythology."

Zhang Ruixuan smiled wryly: "That bastard surnamed Zheng asked for too much."

Vega: "My price is higher, after all, I really don't have time to make those little gadgets anymore."

After thinking for a moment, Vega added, "My disciple and adopted daughter are learning alchemy and forging. If you don't mind that the quality of the things the two children make is not very good, I can help you communicate with them."

Gwen and Bana learned quickly, but the magical items and potions they made couldn't compare to his in terms of quality. However, the things they made were still highly desirable and unattainable for many.

The two crafted a great many magical items and potions, which they didn't sell but instead gave to the Spider-Man League.

Those Spider-Men were mostly broke, and the stuff they got was practically free. Vega didn't care, but he was actually quite distressed; it was all money.

"Sure. Also, could you help me modify a magical item? Don't rush to refuse; you can take a look at the compensation we can offer." As Zhang Ruixuan spoke, he took out a tablet from his briefcase, turned on the screen, found the pre-prepared information, and handed it to Vega.

"I don't need..." Vega took the tablet, glanced at it casually, and then fell silent.

Zhang Ruixuan smiled, picked up his teacup, and took a sip. He simply couldn't believe that Vega wouldn't be tempted after reading the document he had compiled containing information on hundreds of strange universes.

After a long while, Vega looked up at Zhang Ruixuan, holding up his tablet and asking earnestly, "Have you been to all these strange universes mentioned in the data?"

Zhang Ruixuan spoke frankly: "My youngest daughter, Yalin, loves to travel. These are all places she has been. I have been to several universes, and I can guarantee that the information in the data is true."

Vega: "What do you want me to modify?"

Zhang Ruixuan: "Have you heard of the Spark?"

Vega: "The AllSpark of the Transformers universe?"

Zhang Ruixuan nodded: "Yes, we hope that the Transformers made with it will recognize our country, possess the discipline and obedience of soldiers, and..."

Vega quickly raised his hand to stop him: "Stop, don't continue. If you keep talking, you'll alarm the censors, and then our book will be gone."

Zhang Ruixuan was also taken aback, and quickly nodded, "Uh, okay, okay."

Vega pondered for a moment before speaking, "I am very interested in the AllSpark. I can give it a try, but I need to make one thing clear first."

The Spark Source is a technological marvel; I've never researched anything like it before, so I can't guarantee I can fulfill your requirements.

Zhang Ruixuan: "I understand. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, we will give you all the data and coordinates of these universes."

They're just giving it a try; if they succeed, great, but if they fail, they won't lose anything.

We'd give those cosmic coordinates to Vega for free, since they can't develop them anyway.

Vega: "Where is the work location? When does it start?"

Zhang Ruixuan: "The location is a base deep in Shennongjia. You can start whenever you want."

Vega: "Tomorrow, I need to go back and get some tools."

Zhang Ruixuan: "No problem, here is my contact information. Contact me when you're ready, and I'll tell you the exact location coordinates."

Vega: "Okay, by the way, Professor X asked me to pass on a message that he wants to talk to you..."
