Infinite Reincarnation: I am the Monster.

Chapter 563 The Deal with Dongxia, The Sword of Qi (4K+)

Chu Qi looked at Bai Cangshu's transformed crimson, ugly face and shook his head with a bitter smile.

"Let's go to a private place and talk in detail first."

Bai Cangshu did not object. With a flash of light, he led Chu Qi, Song Xian, and the others into his private space.

Looking at this huge private space, Song Xian and Tian Jie secretly calculated how many reincarnators Tao Pai Pai had killed.

Chu Qi glanced around before sitting down on the sofa in the empty hall.

"Cangshu, your heart is still the same as before..."

"A blank page."

The private space of a reincarnator is a place specially provided by the infinite dimensional space for reincarnators to rest and relieve stress.

Just like many men burdened by life's pressures who like to hide in their cars and smoke after get off work, having a completely private and safe space allows them to unwind and relieve a lot of stress.

Private space is such a place, and it can be decorated at will according to the reincarnator's wishes. Even the most expensive, luxurious, or even dreamlike decorating styles in the real world can be realized here.

It can be said that a reincarnated person's private space is a dwelling that reflects the most peaceful vision in their heart.

Some people choose to design their homes in the shape of the most familiar "home" in their memories, some design their ideal magnificent rooms, and some design dreamlike landscapes that do not exist in reality, with mountains, seas, lakes and starry skies.

Despite possessing such a vast space that it could be transformed into almost anything, Bai Cangshu did nothing, leaving the room in its original, empty state.

From this alone, Chu Qi could tell that Bai Cangshu was still the same guy whose heart was a wasteland.

When he was young, Chu Qi thought he was Bai Cangshu's best friend. Because Bai Cangshu imitated his actions, Chu Qi mistakenly thought that he was also Bai Cangshu's best friend.

Therefore, he wanted to take the initiative to get to know this "close friend" better.

But the more he got to know him, the more confused he felt; he couldn't sense anything at all.

Bai Cangshu has nothing she particularly likes or dislikes, nothing she particularly desires, and nothing she fears.

A person who doesn't react in any special way to anything makes Chu Qi feel very unapproachable at that time, creating a strong sense of alienation.

Furthermore, the deeper they got to know each other, the stronger the sense of alienation became. In the end, after seeing Bai Cangshu's reaction to birth, aging, sickness and death, Chu Qi began to feel fear towards this "close friend".

Song Xian, Chu Qi, and Tian Jie seemed to have some kind of special agreement, as none of them used their avatars.

The avatar that Chu Qi had used earlier had just been destroyed after he faked his death.

Bai Cangshu also removed his avatar at this moment, revealing his true appearance.

Even though Song Xian had already confirmed the truth, seeing that familiar face sitting in front of him in a peach-white pink robe still gave him a complicated look.

Bai Cangshu took in everyone's reactions before smiling and responding to Chu Qi's words.

"And what about you, Chu Qi? You became a reincarnator even earlier than me, do you still feel fear towards me?"

He had a natural smile on his face, sniffed slightly as if he were smelling some kind of scent, and answered his own question without thinking.

"Hmm...you're still afraid of me."

"That's right, I still have some fear of you." Chu Qi didn't hide it and admitted it frankly.

In his view, it is normal for people to feel fear when faced with an anomaly like Bai Cangshu, just as humans, as primates, are inherently afraid of all kinds of snakes.

That's a biological instinct to protect itself, and there's nothing shameful about it.

Bai Cangshu withdrew his gaze with satisfaction and picked up the black tea in front of him.

If Li Qingzi is of any use outside of combat, it's probably in these insignificant little details.

At this moment, Song Xian also realized that the relationship between these two "childhood friends" was not as close as he and Old Li had expected, and he felt a little heavy-hearted.

"Tao Pai Pai... Your Excellency, we previously reached an agreement to exchange Singularity Dimensional Points for Gantz to manufacture special weapons. That agreement should still be valid, right?"

Song Xian reluctantly added the suffix "Your Excellency," but he still felt awkward. The face in front of him had been respectfully calling him Officer Song not long ago, and even his naive apprentice was called Officer Luo.

Now, just two months later, the other party has become the so-called "Lord Tao Bai Bai".

Bai Cangshu nodded. For him, [Gantz] was a suitable rare creation for earning resources.

It's not just Song Xian; in the future, a considerable number of people will likely want to purchase Gantz's advanced weaponry from him.

Despite its drawbacks such as slow activation, slow rate of fire, and average range, the Gantz series weapons and enhanced suits undoubtedly provide a powerful boost to ordinary people and even low-level reincarnators.

With proper coordination and operation, even a powerful nation like Dongxia could pose a significant threat to some elite-level reincarnators.

"Of course, I have always been very committed to the spirit of contracts."

Bai Cangshu's answer put Song Xian at ease; at least, the first objective had been achieved.

They plan to order a batch of Gantz-based high-tech equipment from Tao Pai Pai, partly to arm the soldiers of the Azure Dragon Division and transform them into a special force truly capable of fighting against the Reincarnators.

On the other hand, it was intended for research.

Before the concept of "ability users" emerged and gained worldwide recognition, reincarnators dared not hand over advanced technological tools to research institutions, fearing violations of confidentiality regulations. Once the data was leaked and the regulations were violated, it would be almost impossible to eradicate them; they would simply be eliminated.

Now that the concept of "ability users" is becoming more and more accepted around the world, they believe that it is time to gradually allow the real world to accept super-technological tools and attempt to upgrade technology.

Although Song Xian thought that possibility was very small, after all, the technology in the Gantz world came from the multifaceted aliens and had no connection with the technology of the current real world, and they were not even in the same dimension.

Chu Qi then took the opportunity to speak.

"There's one more thing. You sent that copy back to Dongxia because you wanted to use Dongxia's research to try and get the copy into space, right..."

Bai Cangshu's mouth slightly parted, and his eyes held a newfound appreciation as he looked at Chu Qi.

"That's right. I know you've been trying to use hypnosis to get more soldiers into the space and become reincarnators. How about I give you a candidate with absolutely high potential?"

Do you dare to take it?

Tianjie's indifferent gaze was now focused on Tao Baibai's face, which had stirred up the storm in the space. Song Xian was right; the other party was indeed a complete madman, and was really planning to send his uncontrollable clone into the space.

Bai Cangshu spread his arms wide, praising his talent without any reservation.

"That's a promising newcomer whose physical abilities and combat awareness alone are comparable to a [Parallel] Rank Reincarnator just upon entering the space!"

"If you'd like, I can give you a few more."

He never intended to control his clones, and Bai Cangshu never viewed those clones as "another version of himself."

To him, those clones were simply unfamiliar offspring that possessed the same physical attributes and life characteristics as him.

Sending those clones into infinite space was merely an experiment for him; success would be best, but failure wouldn't matter.

If another version of himself could enter the space and become a powerful reincarnator, Bai Cangshu would be quite interested in hunting down that version of himself.

The same copy created from the same information, after randomly gaining various enhancements in a place like infinite dimensional space, will ultimately be superior to the original.

Hunting down those clones might be quite fun.

Chu Qi looked at the unconscious smile on his old friend's lips, and he could vaguely hear crackling sounds.

After confirming once again in his heart that Bai Cangshu was indeed an anomaly completely different from ordinary humans like him, Chu Qi smiled with relief. "Truly, you are worthy of being called Cangshu. Your perspective on problems and your way of dealing with them are completely different from ours..."

"This world is indeed only for beings like you..."

Bai Cangshu looked at his old friend, whom he hadn't seen for seven or eight years, and shook his head, his eyes still revealing that simple and ordinary quality.

"Heh, I don't know how someone like you managed to get the title of [Phantom Sword]."

Chu Qi was taken aback. In that instant, he strangely sensed a change. It was indeed Bai Cangshu making some comments about his behavior.

Furthermore, it's not about strength or weakness, but rather an evaluation of one's own personality.

Even though it was just a little bit, he still sensed the difference.

Bai Cangshu, who used to never think about anything from the outside world, is now starting to have thoughts?!

His turbulent thoughts were so clear to Bai Cangshu that if they weren't in the spatial realm, Bai Cangshu felt he could easily read his mind.

Chu Qi was, after all, just a mortal.
Bai Cangshu's eyes returned to indifference. He put down the red tea and leaned back on the sofa.

"Tell me, what kind of agreement do you want to reach with me in exchange for the condition that you send a copy of me into this space?"

Tianjie was taken aback, and Song Xian's expression also changed slightly. The two looked at each other, and finally subconsciously looked at Chu Qi, suspecting that the other party had leaked the information.

But Bai Cangshu just scoffed.

"Does this level of judgment even require intelligence?"

He reached up and poked his temple, not penetrating his skull, but the magnetic field was stirred, causing his cerebral cortex to secrete an unusually rapid amount of fluid, producing a tingling sensation as if his hair was growing rapidly.

Then he stretched out his hand, separating his index finger and thumb by a tiny bit.

"Such a thing only requires such a tiny bit of... wisdom."

Human thinking often has fixed patterns that are imperceptible to oneself, just like the fact that he gave the copy to Dongxia.

If the people of Dongxia were unaware that they had actively requested the clone to be sent into the space, then the decision-makers of Dongxia would probably try to conceal this matter and attempt to use the clone to carry out secret schemes.

That's in their interest.

But when they get a little smarter and realize that this is what they want, they will start to think, start to strategize, and consider whether to make their ideas come true.

Right now, they are clearly aiming to allow the clones to enter the space. From this perspective, the decision-makers of the so-called South Heavenly Gate Project or the Special Affairs Bureau in Dongxia are standing on the third level.

He agreed to the plan and accepted that his intentions would succeed. Consequently, the decision-maker would inevitably try to exchange such an outcome for something else.

As Bai Cangshu said, this series of thought shifts only requires a tiny bit of "wisdom".

Tianjie pursed his lips, and his sense of danger towards Tao Baibai, this beast, instantly increased several levels.

A powerful beast is not scary; this beast is also very intelligent...

Song Xian also paused for a moment before speaking.

"We hope that your 'paradise' can stop within Myanmar and not enter the border of Eastern Xia."

"Correspondingly, we will guide and pressure high-risk reincarnators within Dongxia to enter the Myanmar border, or directly enter [Paradise]. I think... that's the result you want too."

Bai Cangshu's smile deepened. Song Xian, or that decision-maker in the Dongxia Special Affairs Bureau, was indeed a clever man.

He had no reason to refuse.

Moreover, he is currently restricted by the "King" of the Azure Sky, so going out hunting for a short period of time is not a good idea.

On the contrary, managing the amusement park well will be more cost-effective in the long run.

He already had a fairly complete plan, and for that reason, he was willing to slightly suppress his hunting impulse and let those that were too weak go.

His current goal is to transform "Paradise" into a truly stable and free real-world paradise.

“Very good, Officer Song, this is a good deal.”

Bai Cangshu addressed Song Xian as Officer Song, which made the hairs on the back of the latter almost stand on end.

Song Xian seemed to see that incredibly cruel and dangerous beast once again disguised as that harmless young man from Binhai University.

He almost regretted making the deal, but Chu Qi didn't give him time to regret it and spoke directly.

"We need to obtain a batch of Gantz enhanced suits and basic X-Gun and H-Gun before we come here."

"As for funding, we are also quite short of singularities, and can only offer a few Class B singularities for the time being."

Before Bai Cangshu could even frown, he flipped his right hand, and something appeared.

"But I think this will be useful to you."

[Reincarnator AN70219495 has shown you the item: Three Talents Sword - Qi Sword (Extremely Rare)]

【Three Talents Sword - Qi Sword】

【Quality: Exquisitely Rare】

[Description: A unique sword technique created by a highly talented cultivator, condensed from innate energy.]

[Usage Requirements: Possess Qi perception; Energy > 5; Constitution > 10;]

【Effect 1: Command Qi Sword, kill remotely. To use this effect, you need Sword Mastery level 7 or higher and Energy (Qi) level 20 or higher】

[Effect 2: The Qi Sword can be absorbed and transformed into pure innate energy, increasing energy by 4-16 points (the specific increase depends on the reincarnator's absorption and conversion rate of Qi)]

This is a Qi sword that seems to float in the air!
It has no material structure, but a sense of freedom and sharpness emerges, like a special kind of sword.

Bai Cangshu simply stretched out his hand and sensed that incredibly pure energy—whether you call it qi or purer bio-energy.

That kind of thing is probably the purest form of Qi that is most revered in cultivation-themed worldviews!

In Taoist philosophy, Qi is an innate energy that is distinct from acquired Qi.

Although Bai Cangshu has extremely high energy attributes, in reality, the total amount of [Qi] has not reached its maximum value.

For Hakusou Jutsu, who possesses the Kaioken, increasing the energy of [Ki] means that after the Kaioken is activated, the increase will be multiplied!

"very good!"

He was quite satisfied with the choice of this deal, and Song Xian knew he couldn't stop it, so he said nothing more.

Only Chu Qi, who was happy to see Bai Cangshu become even stronger, was satisfied with the outcome of the deal.

Dongxia obtained advanced technology weapons and tools, while Cangshu obtained pure [Qi].

He was certain that the future world held unimaginable horrors, which was the real reason he was willing to fake his death to seize the [card] and forcibly send Bai Cangshu into the space.

Chu Qi smiled bitterly to himself. Rather than searching for some savior, it was much more realistic for him to find a stronger and more terrifying alien to deal with.
