Chapter 168: Chapter 115: You Actually Have 3 National Treasure Divine Artifacts?

"Damn it!!"

"He’s so strong!!"

"What do we do??"

"It’s easy to invite a god, but hard to send one away! The five of us only have a 59% contribution score!!"

"This contribution score isn’t enough!!!"

"No!! We don’t want to share our city with anyone!!!"

"He’s so fast, and so... thick and big... What if he decides to stick around and not leave..."

Across from Shen Fei, Number 0, the silver-haired loli, appeared calm, but a storm of thoughts raged within her. All they had thought about was inviting Shen Fei—someone they had met once and who seemed very powerful—to come help. They never expected that occupying a city would involve something like a contribution score.

Moreover, after Shen Fei instantly killed the boss in a dazzling display, he had directly claimed over forty percent of the contribution score. This left Number 0 completely stumped.

"What do we do!!! His contribution score is at forty percent!!"

"Do we have to give him half the city??"

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!!!"

Before the apocalypse, the genius loli who had escaped from an orphanage and taught herself hacking began to communicate rapidly with the others. They possessed a special Ethereum Punk technology, and since the girls were all standing very close to each other, they were currently communicating rapidly on a special frequency that only the five of them could see. On the surface, however, Number 0 was just staring blankly at Shen Fei.

"No way! This is our little nest!! We can’t share it!!"

"Right, we can’t share it!!!"

"Definitely not! He looks like a creepy old guy!! We can’t share!!"

"I think... sharing wouldn’t be so bad. After all, he’s so strong... and so big..."

Swiftly, the other girls voiced their opinions.

"Huh??"

"Huh??"

"Number Three, what did you just say!!!"

"NUMBER THREE!!!!!"

Seeing the last line of text, everyone froze for a second before instantly becoming frantic.

"N-No! Nothing! Nothing!!!" Scolded by her companions, Number III—who instinctively felt that Shen Fei wasn’t so bad—quickly recanted.

"What do we do!!!"

"Think of something!! Damn it! I can’t hold on much longer!!!"

"I can’t keep a straight face!"

Unable to reach a consensus, the silver-haired Number 0, who was still locked in a staring contest, urged them on anxiously.

"Beg him?"

"Kidnap him?"

"Make a deal with him?"

"Sponsor him?"

Soon, four new answers popped up. The five little lolis remained poker-faced, but their communication through the special Ethereal Passage was incredibly fast. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Number Three!!!"

"Number Three!!!"

"Number Three!!!"

Seeing the answer Number III had sent again, the others roared in unison.

"Number Three, you’re not allowed to talk anymore!" Number 0 directly revoked Number III’s speaking privileges.

"I think making a deal is a good idea!!"

"But what kind of deal?"

A few seconds later, the remaining four lolis made a decision, while Number III, her right to speak revoked, sulked in a corner and drew circles on the ground.

"Our greatest strength as Ethereum Punks is channels and information!"

"Channels? What channels??"

"Information?? I think information could work!!"

"Information is good!!"

After a few more replies, the group decided to use information to trade with Shen Fei.

"I think we can tell him about the National Treasure Divine Artifacts!"

"That information is definitely valuable enough!"

"In all of Xia Country, there are definitely no more than ten people who know about the National Treasure Divine Artifacts!"

"Besides the Tourism Management Office headquarters, we’re the only ones who know the National Treasure Divine Artifacts exist!!"

Someone soon proposed telling Shen Fei about the National Treasure Divine Artifacts. These artifacts were the only type of item not inherited from the game; furthermore, they were currently the most special items in existence. For their own special reasons, the five lolis happened to possess three such artifacts. They thought for a moment and concluded that the information about the National Treasure Divine Artifacts would be valuable enough to complete the trade.

"Okay!"

"Okay!"

"Okay!"

Having made a quick decision, they all nodded in agreement.

"COUGH, COUGH, COUGH!"

Now that she had a plan, Number 0, standing before Shen Fei, coughed a couple of times and spoke again with brimming confidence.

"Mr. Shen!! Thank you so much for your help. Besides thanking you, we’d also like to make a deal with you!" Number 0 announced their decision with a huge smile on her face.

"Oh?"

Shen Fei had actually been planning to give them his contribution score. This city was so far away that it wouldn’t be convenient for him to visit without a super Teleportation Array. Besides, with nine cities already under his management in Qing City, he didn’t need one more. He was more than happy to use his 41% contribution score to build some goodwill with the Ethereum Punk lolis. He never expected they would want to make a deal.

The moment Number 0 opened her mouth, he knew what she wanted to trade for. What else could it be? It has to be my 41% contribution score!

"It’s like this, Mr. Shen. Do you know how the major city, [Fanghu Cave Heaven], which the Tourism Management Office headquarters previously announced, came to be?"

Number 0 planned to start with a story to slowly lead into the topic of the National Treasure Divine Artifacts. That’s the only way to show how valuable the information is! Wrapping the information in a story—it’s a classic move!

The supremely confident Number 0 was waiting for Shen Fei to say he didn’t know, so she could then slowly guide the conversation toward the Divine Artifacts. She never expected that Shen Fei would say something that shocked all the lolis to their core:

"How it came to be? Wasn’t it a gift from a National Treasure Divine Artifact?"

In response to Number 0’s question, Shen Fei stated it as if it were common knowledge. He knew Ethereum Punk’s greatest strength was information and that the existence of the National Treasure Divine Artifacts couldn’t be hidden from them, so he answered without the slightest hesitation.

Huh? What Shen Fei didn’t expect was that as soon as he finished his answer, all the lolis, including Number 0, stared with their mouths agape, their faces filled with utter disbelief. Rendered speechless by his single sentence, Number 0 began to stutter, "Th-th-that..."
