The Ultimate Divine Class

Chapter 675 45: Life Source Ore (2)

"Slap, slap——"Sonice's feet slowly pressed onto the damp forest mud, making slight sounds.

Just as she was about to reach the rocky location of her target.

"Whoosh——"

A sudden, slight sound of wind came from behind her.

Sonice spun around quickly like a startled bird, thinking it was just her own false alarm, but as her gaze landed on a certain spot behind her, her eyes froze.

Deep within the dim primordial forest, a familiar humanoid mecha emerged quietly like a ghost.

Its increasingly massive body blocked the already scarce weak skylight overhead.

On its deep blue, nearly black body, a thick darkness seemed to spread, devouring all surrounding light and casting a large shadow that completely enveloped Sonice.

The Deep Blue Mecha stopped a few meters in front of Sonice, lowered its head, and looked at her silently.

A silent yet overwhelming pressure filled every corner of the forest space, silencing the sounds of insects and birds; the air was still as death.

At this moment, Sonice felt like she was submerged ten thousand meters underwater, the heavy oppression nearly suffocating her.

Her body was completely rigid, the blood in her veins seemed to stop flowing, she stood motionless in place.

"Click——"

A slight sound suddenly broke the dead silence.

The Deep Blue Mecha slightly moved its arm.

The silent Sonice, upon hearing this light sound, suddenly took a big step back, then quickly opened her mouth and said:

"I can compensate you! I apologize for my Demon Fat Thieves' previous offense!

There are some misunderstandings between us, there's no need for us to reach a life-and-death struggle..."

Lu Yuan blinked, somewhat surprised as he looked at Sonice "admitting defeat" before him.

He noticed that one of Sonice's hands rested behind her, her anxious eyes carrying a hint of imperceptible ruthlessness and determination.

She probably had some trump card hidden away.

As a level seven mechanician, it would be strange if she had no means to save her life.

Lu Yuan didn't plan to make a move immediately; the triangular-eyed man he just devoured, along with his level seven mecha, were still being digested inside him.

Every second dragged on meant his strength increased, which benefitted him.

"Oh."

Lu Yuan casually responded, lifting his sturdy alloy arms and folding them across his chest, looking at Sonice indifferently.

"How do you plan to compensate?"

Lu Yuan's response made Sonice's eyes visibly relax a bit, sensing there seemed to be room for negotiation, she spoke in a deep voice: "What do you want?"

"What do I want?"

Lu Yuan thought for a moment, then casually tossed Sonice the materials list he needed for building the [Breath of Evil. Wind-eating Demon God Mechanic Soldier].

Sonice looked down to review the information Lu Yuan sent.

Moments later, she lifted her head, her rose-like charming face displaying a difficult expression.

"Since it's unachievable, there's nothing left to discuss then."

Lu Yuan had already thought of what to say next.

Unexpectedly, Sonice's expression turned difficult, her eyes flickered, yet she opened her mouth and said: "The things you want are very valuable.

But… it's not impossible to achieve."

"Hmm?!"

This time, it was Lu Yuan's turn to be surprised.

"You star thieves are so wealthy?"

The materials on Lu Yuan's list, piece by piece, to purchase them all would at least require billions in Duoling currency.

Yes, he had increased the quantity of every forging material originally listed by several times.

Billions in Duoling currency could almost buy a pretty decent level-eight mecha.

That Sonice could accept this was truly beyond Lu Yuan's expectations.

"I certainly don't have that much money."

Sonice shook her head, calmly speaking: "But I know a way to quickly earn that much wealth.

If luck holds, perhaps several times, or even dozens of times that figure isn't impossible."

Lu Yuan frowned.

His eyes coldly fixed on Sonice for a few seconds, then spoke: "Speak."

He noticed the hand Sonice had hidden behind her moved slightly, then it came out, tossing something towards him.

Lu Yuan raised his hand, catching what Sonice had thrown.

His gaze lowered slightly.

Half a second later, Lu Yuan's eyes suddenly shot out an intense gleam.

"What is this?!"

Lu Yuan spoke in a deep voice, his tone becoming solemn.

The object Sonice tossed towards him now lay quietly in his palm.

It was a piece of crystal with a bright, clear green hue. It looked somewhat like jade, but was entirely different.

Upon closer inspection, one could see strands of deep green fibrous matter moving slowly inside the green crystal, like a living thing.

What truly moved Lu Yuan.

Was this small piece of green crystal, barely the size of half an adult fist, containing an immense and pure life energy, equivalent to that of hundreds of tons of bismuth metal waste ore.

"Life Source Ore."

Sonice spoke each word clearly.

"Life Source Ore?"

Hearing this answer, Lu Yuan's expression subtly changed.

He casually activated his light computer to search, but the information he got was clearly irrelevant.

"Yes."

Sonice explained, "This is a name we came up with on our own, also called 'Life Source Crystal.'

Beyond Lilva Star, you're unlikely to find another piece like this."

"A specialty ore from Lilva Star?"

Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the divine crystal stone in his hand, and said, "Why have I never heard of it before?"

"Because it was just discovered recently."

"This thing naturally contains a very high purity and an exaggerated amount of Life Source Energy...

The preciousness of Life Source Energy hardly needs explaining.

In short, the value of this item is extremely high. Although it's never been sold publicly, based on estimates, just that little piece of Life Source Ore in your hand is worth at least a hundred thousand Duoling coins...."

"Get to the point."

Lu Yuan grew a bit impatient, speaking coldly: "Where did this come from, and how much is there?"

Sonice's eyes flashed slightly as she replied, "The Lord of Gems.

The exact quantity is unclear, but there should be a lot...a very lot..."

"The Lord of Gems..."

Lu Yuan looked at the Life Source Ore in his hand, calmly asked, "So, you're saying you got this from the Lord of Gems?"

"Yes."

Sonice nodded and replied, "Sea Wolf hijacked a transport ship from the Lord of Gems and found this inside.

Furthermore, they got some information from the subordinates of the Lord of Gems, revealing that he discovered an ancient ruin, where this Life Source Ore was obtained.

Within that ruin, there are Life Source Ores so abundant, it formed an entire vein!"

Saying this, Sonice paused, then continued, "The exact location of the ruin is known only to the Lord of Gems and Sea Wolf.

Worried about being unable to digest such a vast wealth alone, Sea Wolf contacted other Star Thief groups like us, planning to attack the ruin together and pillage the treasures inside...

The man you took out earlier was one of Sea Wolf's men."

After listening to Sonice's account, Lu Yuan said nothing, just quietly observed the crystal in his hand.

A moment later, he spoke calmly, "Indeed, it's quite a profitable business.

But...such pie-in-the-sky promises don't compare to something actually valuable."

With that, Lu Yuan casually tossed the Life Source Ore into the mouth of his mechanical body as if eating a bean.

Then, step by step, he walked toward Sonice, slowly exuding an aura of murderous intent.

"If you can't produce something tangible in return.

You won't be leaving today."

Lu Yuan advanced towards Sonice with a calm expression, his tone cold.

Sonice's face suddenly changed; she didn't expect Lu Yuan to be so difficult, completely unmoved by her bait.

Feeling the oppressive pressure from Lu Yuan, Sonice retreated step by step until she had nowhere left to go.

Finally, gritting her teeth, she raised her hand and tossed a small black card towards Lu Yuan.

"There's over nine hundred million Duoling coins in here...that's all I own.

If you're still not satisfied, then we'll go down together!"

Sonice glared at Lu Yuan, her teeth gritted, appearing utterly helpless.

Lu Yuan caught the card effortlessly, glanced at Sonice as he checked it, and spoke coolly, "Go down together?

Do you think you're worthy?"

"You—!"

Sonice was livid with rage.
