Chapter 210 - The Master of Stories

Chapter 210: The Master of Stories

The next morning, Vincent woke up at his residence. He went to meet up with Avril and Angelina. The three of them were waiting for an invitation from the Esville Race.

“Vincent, do you really have a solution? Will your way really work?” asked Avril.

Vincent smiled calmly and said, “Maybe it won’t work, but we have to try! Let’s relax today, let’s take a vacation!”

“Okay, I believe you!” said Avril and Angelina together.

To them, there was nothing in the world that was more worthy of their trust than Vincent!

At that moment, a levitating robot floated into the room and stood in front of the three of them.

“Respected foreign dignitaries, we have prepared a grand welcome party for you. Please follow me to attend it now!”

Vincent nodded and said, “Lead the way!”

The robot obediently turned around and began to lead the way, while Vincent calmly followed behind it. He had both Angelina and her sister around his arms.

They walked onto the streets of Crystal City. The traces of their battle with the robot the day before had been fixed. The road that was split into two had unknowingly returned to its original state. It was as if nothing had happened.

While Vincent and the other two were surprised, they could not help but sigh at the technological prowess of the Esville Race. They were sleeping in a building not far away, but they did not hear any sound of them repairing the road.

Suddenly, the robot’s voice sounded again.

“Distinguished guests, the diplomat would like to tell you that from now on, you can enjoy all the rights that the Esville citizens have. You can conduct transactions here just like the citizens of Esville!”

“Transactions? Then what is your currency?” asked Vincent curiously.

“Esville never uses currency. It has always been bartering. You can exchange what you have with other citizens. Also, please rest assured that once the Esville Race promises to trade, they will never go back on their word!”

Vincent could not help but ask again, “Then what is the most precious thing here? Or rather, what is the thing that every citizen likes?”

“Stories! Especially about the outside world. If you use stories to trade, every citizen of Esville will gladly accept such a deal!”

Vincent instantly revealed a sly smile. If what the robot said was true, then the success rate of his plan would greatly increase!

Not long after, the three of them followed the robot into a red crystal building. The door was opened, and it was believed that preparations for the banquet had already been made inside.

“Thank you for leading the way!”

Vincent waved his hand at the robot. He then led the two women up the stairs.

Angelina suddenly asked curiously, “Vincent, do you think it would be very scary if we were to have a banquet with a group of consciousness that can’t move?”

Vincent nodded and said, “It is indeed a little scary, but I believe that those fellows of the Esville Race will always be able to understand our preferences. They will definitely make preparations in advance!”

Angelina did not say anything else. However, she could not help but feel the anticipation and worry for the upcoming banquet.

When the three of them walked into the building, everything in front of them shocked them instantly.

They discovered that there were long tables and chairs prepared in the hall. On top of them were some things that Vincent had never seen before. It was probably food that had been prepared by the Esville Race.

What was even more eye-catching was that there were many robots walking around in the hall. Each robot was staring at a cylindrical crystal. Inside the crystal were glowing golden bodies. It was as if they were brains controlling their bodies to attend a banquet.

“To be honest, although I can see that they have prepared for us, I still feel a little horrified!” said Angelina whilst shaking her head.

Avril could not help but say, “Compared to the scene you described earlier, this is clearly more terrifying!”

Vincent composed himself and said, “Since we’re here, let’s settle it! Although I cannot completely accept the brain circuits of these guys, I don’t think there’s anything more shocking than this. Let’s go!”

The three of them cheered each other on and walked into the hall. They were immediately surrounded by countless robots.

“Are you the alien race that barged in from the Black Hole yesterday? Oh no, are you humans?”

“Your body structure is so strange. Won’t this hinder your thinking?”

“I believe that with such a heavy body, your intelligence development will definitely be very slow!”

A series of mechanical voices rang out as they surrounded Vincent and the two sisters.

They asked them questions incessantly.

Vincent lowered his head helplessly and sighed, “Alright! It seems that I’ve underestimated them. There are indeed more terrifying things!”

Avril’s face was very stiff as she used her elbow to rebuke Vincent. She asked, “Don’t you have a solution? Use it quickly! Otherwise, I really can’t help but draw my weapon!”

Vincent’s hand that was placed on Avril’s shoulder tightened. He warned her not to be impulsive. He then said to the robots in front of him, “We don’t need you to worry about our intellectual development. I’m here today to make a deal with you. I wonder which one of you is interested?”

All the elites of Esville heard him and stepped back unhappily. They said disdainfully, “Deal? What valuable things do you have? Don’t tell me you want to cheat us and steal our technology?”

“I think so too. This race that hasn’t even gotten rid of their physical bodies, what good things can they give us? We, the noble Esville elites, never engage in low-level trade!”

“I advise you to forget it. If you want us to trade, it’s going to cost a lot!”

After listening to another round of their questions, Vincent felt as if his head was about to split open into two. He could only say loudly, “We came from the Black Hole world. Along the way, we have experienced many things and have many stories. I wonder which one of you is interested in trading?”

“What? Stories!”

“You, you, you mean personally experiencing stories? That’s too precious!”

“I want to trade! Please state your conditions!”

The group of robots started to quarrel.

Vincent saw that the situation was getting out of control. He could not help but shout again, “Give it to me! You can use the auction method. The highest bidder can make a deal with me, or you can choose someone from within to make a deal with us. After all, we have a lot of stories to tell!”

The elites of Esville looked at each other and quickly reached an agreement.

“Don’t try to trick us into raising the price. If you tell the story in public, we will naturally give you a corresponding reward. You can auction off every story after that! Please rest assured that we, the Esville race, will not tamper with the transaction!” said a robot.

Vincent nodded and said, “Alright! Then I will start telling the first story. In the endless world of Black Holes, there is another world. There is a race with a long history called the Human Race…”

Vincent told them about the history of the development of the human race in great detail.

Avril and Angelina, who were standing beside Vincent, yawned as they listened to Vincent’s story. Vincent’s story was as boring as going back to their childhood and visiting the museum with their teacher.

However, all the elites of Esville listened with relish. They even looked a little intoxicated.

“Just like that, the current Human Race is currently trying to accumulate a unified power. They are waiting for a human emperor to appear to lead the Human Race to close the Black Hole that has left the human world riddled with holes!”

When Vincent finished his last sentence, he smiled at the robots and said, “Everyone, the first story has been told, please bid!”

The Esville elites fell into silence. They did not make a sound for a long time.

Finally, an Esville elite who looked like he had a higher status than the rest stood up and said to Vincent, “The equivalent items I can give you are the blueprint of the psionic cannon, the core technology of the spaceship, and the energy replacement materials for the teleportation array. Which one do you want to exchange?”

“The energy materials for the teleportation array!” said Vincent without hesitation.

The most important strategic facility of the Human Race was the teleportation array leading to the Beast World. If they could solve the energy problem, it would definitely be worth it.

The robot below the elite Esville immediately took out a metal plate from the portable warehouse. There were dense words carved on it.

After Vincent took the metal plate, he raised his head and asked, “For the next story, who else wants to trade? This time, it’s going to be auctioned!”

All of the Esville elites looked at each other. Their eyes were filled with unwillingness. However, their desire for a good story forced them to start bidding.

“I offer a recipe for a secret medicine that can increase spiritual power!”

“I offer a world coordinate that is rich in resources but has no life!”

“I, I offer a recipe for the strongest metal, the star brilliance alloy! The star brilliance alloy is the strongest metal we know. It’s the best material to forge weapons. It’s the best!”

In the end, a few of the richest Esville elites stood out, and their bids caused the other companions to exclaim in surprise.

“The star brilliance alloy wins!” said Vincent and the two sisters almost at the same time.

The other Esville elites exclaimed in disbelief.

“Why? The secret medicine to strengthen spiritual power is obviously more valuable, and the world coordinates are also a good choice, but you chose the star brilliance alloy that has the lowest value?”

Some of the Esville elites questioned them in confusion.

Vincent immediately said, “The auction doesn’t depend on what you think is more valuable, but on what we really need. In other words, the final decision belongs to us!”

Angelina and Avril also nodded repeatedly. They agreed with Vincent.

This was because the humans needed the star brilliance alloy. If they had such a metal as a weapon, the Human Race would definitely be able to improve their combat strength in a short period of time. They would make up for the gap in strength before learning from the Beast Race!
