I Don't Agree to the Terms-Chapter 597 - 324: Don’t be afraid, I’m a vegetative person! _2

"What if the value isn’t enough? You can’t just give me a pile of stones and wood and let me choose, can you?" Gu Shanhai wasn’t a fool, he would end up busy for nothing if the other party provided junk after the equipment was crafted.

"The least will be..."

"No ’the least,’ I’ll set a limit, it must be of high quality at the very least, if there are plants and skills involved, I might count them as double value." Gu Shanhai wasn’t foolish; the cost of crafting customized equipment was really low for him, the key was the technology.

"Oh, by the way, don’t try any clever tricks, no invincible, immortal, or one-hit-kill type of capabilities, I can make them, but you can’t afford the price."

Gu Shanhai added this, not because he underestimated these two people’s wealth, but because it was just true.

"Of course, then how do you want to customize? Provide a template or something else?" Shura responded, signifying that he also accepted Gu Shanhai’s terms of the trade.

"Either is fine, you can propose a plan first, I’ll add to it, and we can discuss on the spot. Then we can set a time for the delivery." Gu Shanhai was quite indifferent about this.

"Great, I’ll start then." A bizarre character chimed in right away and tried his best to describe the plan he needed.

Gu Shanhai added quite a bit, and they came up with an equipment template that both were satisfied with.

Then it was Shura’s turn. He hadn’t heard the exchange between Gu Shanhai and the bizarre character, as they used some kind of isolating tool.

It was his own equipment after all; it wouldn’t be good if others found out.

Of course, so was Shura.

"As for the specifics of the plan, everyone is satisfied, so let’s meet here at noon, five days from now, for the delivery." Gu Shanhai reviewed the requirements and indicated that there was no difficulty.

"By the way, this matter of the equipment must remain confidential, after all..." Shura didn’t specify, but the implication was clear—he didn’t want information about the equipment being blasted on the forums immediately after he received it.

"Of course, I have that much professional integrity, and besides, you’re in a hurry; other players wouldn’t even be able to find me anyway." Gu Shanhai said with a smile and then teleported away.

Not to mention that he couldn’t even access the forums, even if he could, he wouldn’t do that; who knows, they might meet again and trade further.

"What do you think "Shanhai’s" talent is?" Shura suddenly asked after Gu Shanhai had left.

"I’m not sure, but it’s certain that he has at least four systems, combat, healing, stealth, and lifestyle systems. I’m more curious about how he manages to maintain so many skills and still advance them to level 300." The bizarre character was also intrigued, but that was as far as his interest went.

"What do you think about his suggestion? Have you ever thought about switching paths?" Shura asked again.

The bizarre character didn’t answer but just scoffed and then left.

Switching paths? He wasn’t a fool. He couldn’t simply believe whatever someone said. His strength was hard-earned. Why would he derail just because someone suggested it?

He would certainly try it, but at most, he would consider it as a secondary system. Destroying his current system would be like cutting off his own foundation.

Shura didn’t take the bizarre character’s probe to heart, he probably thought the same.

Seeing this, Shura also smiled. The two’s thoughts couldn’t have been much more alike.

Meanwhile, Gu Shanhai quickly returned to his own residence.

"Two sets of equipment, if I’m fast, half an hour should be enough." Gu Shanhai quickly drafted the equipment plans for both, it really wasn’t hard.

Saying five days was just not to draw too much attention; the reality was that it could be crafted in half an hour.

With his current capabilities, it would seem too feeble if he really took five days for such a trivial matter.

Huffing and puffing, half an hour passed, and the two sets of equipment were freshly made. After randomly hanging them up somewhere, Gu Shanhai continued to observe the Great Ruins.

"Hissss, considering the time, isn’t it about time for the Sacred Divine Sect Leader to come by again?" Gu Shanhai suddenly remembered this.

Recently, the kid had been visiting more frequently. He almost had a schedule figured out.

"He isn’t dead, is he?"

Gu Shanhai looked at his Divine Contracts, which were now few and far between, mainly because most of the Holy God Sect followers had died off.

After searching, he found that the Holy Divine Sect Leader’s Divine Contract had disappeared.

That meant the person was dead.

If there were a world of reincarnation or an afterlife, Gu Shanhai could have made him be a laborer in his next life, but since the Adventurer King world didn’t have this setup, naturally, the debt died with the person.

Thinking it unavoidable, he couldn’t possibly go demand payment from a pile of rotten flesh; that would be useless.

"Such a pity, I thought he could bring me even more surprises," Gu Shanhai sighed, feeling it was a bit wasteful for him to die just like that.

As for harboring any sentiment toward this guy? That was impossible.

The man had come with opportunities but his purpose had been to kill him; how could Gu Shanhai have any fondness for someone who wanted him dead.

Naturally, he would squeeze every drop of value and then dispose of him when he was useless.

He wasn’t lovestruck or a protagonist with love-hate fantasies.

If it were Rein, and if the Holy Divine Sect Leader were swapped for a pale, beautiful, long-legged woman, maybe some sparks could fly. Of course, Gu Shanhai would handle it just the same—there were those types of adventurous women in the Holy God Sect, and they met the same fate.

As for the remaining few Divine Contracts, they weren’t of much value, and Gu Shanhai wasn’t concerned. His initial idea regarding the Holy God Sect was to test out the Divine Contracts, and making a bit of profit was just an afterthought—it turned out to be a pleasant surprise.

After putting away the Divine Contracts, Gu Shanhai continued to observe Da Xu.

Vaguely, he seemed to detect some undefined contours on Da Xu’s body.

"Seems familiar?" Gu Shanhai felt a sense of familiarity.

In his previous life, he must have seen Da Xu, but certainly not in this world—rather in other worlds.

Da Xu had definitely not just passed through the Adventurer King world, but had also been to other worlds.

"I’ll look it up, I’ll look it up." Gu Shanhai began flipping through his related memories, quickly finding a relevant world.

"The Formless Void?"

Gu Shanhai quickly found the intelligence that some worlds had mysterious voids with incredibly slow self-healing rates. From the traces, it seemed these holes were smashed by something.

And this hole resembled the form of Da Xu a lot.

This had once become an unresolved mystery.

"The shape and form match, but the power doesn’t quite add up."

With Da Xu’s power just passing by could tear a world apart, much less directly crashing into one.

"Or is it that after some calamity, Da Xu lost its terrifying power, leading to it only being able to smash holes when it struck worlds."

"Indeed, it’s a matter of time."

Gu Shanhai didn’t believe in coincidences. After comparing the timelines, he found that the appearance of the Formless Void emerged during the later stages of "the First Epoch" Version 2, while the current time was the early phase of "the First Epoch" Version 1. The timelines were too far apart.

"It’s best to stay away from such unresolved mysteries, they have nothing to do with me," Gu Shanhai declared his disinterest in meddling with these matters.

In his previous life, he also hadn’t explored what was inside the Formless Voids above worlds, mainly because it might be dangerous. He had better ways to strengthen himself, so why choose a method with unclear benefits yet high risks?

"However, this time I might be able to get a close look at what exactly this thing that has smashed countless worlds really is." Gu Shanhai didn’t want to take risks, but since the opportunity had come knocking, casually checking it out wasn’t a big deal.

It’s not like he could just let this thing pass by his doorstep without even peeking through the peephole.
