Chapter 1596
Anthony went to great trouble to create an information blind box, mainly to reduce the risk of exposure; in this world, they are outsiders, and their only anchor, Luomu Luor, is a satellite star, with which they are very unfamiliar.
In a strange place, it is easy to be exposed, such as by some meme you don't understand, or an unreasonable reaction, like now.
According to the Sixth God Star's idea, hearing that Lania had established consciousness links with many god stars, Anthony should have immediately asked for Lania's position; as long as he killed Lania, he could also kill all consciousness-linked god stars and plunder their star soul imprint fragments.
The Sixth God Star hoped to trade location information with Anthony, but did not expect the other party's reaction to be completely beyond his expectation, to the point that he even doubted whether Anthony was a god star guide.
Anthony was a little panicked inside, but his demeanor remained very calm; he slowly asked: "Do you know why we want to hunt god stars?"
"Yes, put all the light into a bottle." The Sixth God Star said.
Anthony's mind was shaken; this was already the third time he had heard the phrase "put into a bottle": the first time was void put into a bottle, the second time was darkness put into a bottle, and now it was light put into a bottle—did they mean putting different things in?
However, although the things put in were different, they probably all referred to the same matter, only the terminology had been distorted in transmission.
Although shocked inside, Anthony's expression did not change at all; he calmly said: "This is the goal, but does it matter whether the process is fast or slow?"
"Does it not matter?" The Sixth God Star was stunned; he had not expected to hear such an answer—does it not matter?
Anthony stepped closer, lowered his voice, and said with a meaningful tone: "Or rather, does it matter to us whether it is fast or slow?"
On the word "us," Anthony emphasized his tone.
Although his language ability was somewhat lacking, the Sixth God Star, being a god star of normal intelligence, after Anthony hinted at this extent, immediately imagined in his mind: Is it not important to "us"? Then it must be important to "them"?
Because it was unclear how many ghost guides there were, the Sixth God Star could only think of this reason, which happened to be exactly the direction Anthony wanted to guide him toward.
Whatever one imagines, no matter how absurd, will unconsciously seek reasons; whereas what others clearly tell you, you are less likely to believe—this is a bad habit of intelligent life.
After imagining some things, the Sixth God Star hesitantly asked: "Should I go find 'them'?"
"No, no, no, I mean, what you are currently offering is not enough to attract 'us' to take risks; you need to think about whether you can offer something else." Anthony said.
"Something else?" The Sixth God Star fell silent; he had not prepared anything else at all.
He originally thought that by revealing this information, the ghost guides would immediately rush over like bees seeing flowers, and he could collect a large number of star soul imprint fragments in one go—such an opportunity was rare.
At most, he would add his own star soul; he was already old, his increment had long been depleted, and if he needed to offer his own star soul, it would allow the ghost guides to kill Lania—such a deal would be too worthwhile.
Unexpectedly, Anthony was not interested in his star soul at all, nor in Lania's star soul, and even implicitly indicated that this matter was not important to them.
Could it be that the ghost guides have different task assignments among themselves? Is "putting light into a bottle" only part of the ghost guides' task, not the whole?
With a head full of questions, the Sixth God Star temporarily left; he wanted to go back and think about what else could attract Anthony, treating Lania as the next target.
After the Sixth God Star walked away, Nai Ge Li Si could not help but say: "Actually being invited by a god star to be an assassin—if he offers something attractive, we might really go help him kill Lania."
Going to kill a branch lord? Just thinking about it is exciting; although Ange now already has two iteration ghost avatars, each with the strength of ten god stars, and also has a complete iteration star soul fragment, his strength still has a huge gap compared to a branch lord.
Unless they can truly guide foreign ghosts, otherwise it is impossible for them to be a match for Lania.
Anthony calmly said: "What is attractive is for us to decide."
Just as he finished speaking, the silver coin flew back and said: "My lord Anthony, the Fifth God Star who wants to revive the Migrant Star beings, I have already talked with him; he is willing to let us see the remains of the Migrant Star beings."
"Really? What does he want?" Anthony asked happily.
Although the Fifth God Star was expelled in the second round, the information he revealed was actually quite attractive to Anthony; he has a remains of a Migrant Star being in his hand.
Anthony has already seen a living Migrant Star being, but not a dead one; what is the difference between them? Why would the Fifth God Star offer a bounty for reviving a Migrant Star being—can dead god stars be revived? Or does he need a living god star who can master migrant star skills?
With a belly full of questions unanswered, after just finishing the information blind box game, Anthony signaled the silver coin to contact the Fifth God Star, trying to arrange a meeting to see the Migrant Star being's remains, never expecting the silver coin to settle it so quickly.
The silver coin said: "I said we also have a remains of a Migrant Star being; if he lets us see his Migrant Star being remains, then we will give him a fragment of the Migrant Star being's bodily corpse."
"Just a fragment of the bodily corpse? That is very reasonable." Anthony nodded satisfied; as expected of the God of Business, he can always exchange a reasonable price for suitable goods.
They have not a few fragments of the Migrant Star being's bodily corpse; when the little angels bombed the Migrant Star beings, they blew apart many fragments of the surface hard shell, all of which were collected.
Of course, the bodily corpse fragments are not valuable; what is valuable is the information attached to them; as for what information the other party can obtain from the fragments, they do not guarantee it.
"Where to go see?" Anthony asked.
"Here, he said to wait here." The silver coin took out a marked arrow, then flew along the arrow's direction.
Anthony hurried to follow; Nai Ge Li Si, seeing this, also followed.
The distance was very far, requiring leaving the gravitational range of two devouring abysses; however, Anthony and company had already replaced their iteration bodies, and in the void they moved, even faster than star shifting, darting forward and disappearing instantly.
After a few days, the three arrived at the place indicated by the mark; upon reaching the destination, the originally arrow-shaped mark turned into a blinking red dot.
After blinking for several minutes, in the void ahead, a root took hold and extended continuously; as the root extended, more and more roots penetrated the void, twisting ahead into a hollow formed by the roots.
Anthony looked at the hole formed by the roots and loudly said: "If you cannot change your way of greeting, then we will cancel the deal."
