Warhammer 40 Spring: Loyalty of the Multiverse

Chapter 361 Wandering: The Handover

When Zhou Zhezhi and Tie Hui met again, Zhou Zhezhi looked relaxed and happy.

Following Quan Tiehua into the cave, he said, "Sir! In our future cooperation, I hope we can both be completely honest with each other!"

Quan Tiehua, who was walking in front, nodded. "That's for sure! Cooperation is for mutual benefit!"

"Alright, Mr. Zhou!" Quan Tiehua stood in front of an iron gate and looked at Zhou Zhezhi. "Next, you will be speaking with the real me!"

Zhou Zhezhi didn't show any surprise when he heard this, but nodded instead.

The sight that greeted him as the gate opened was so stunning that even the well-traveled Zhou Zhezhi was momentarily stunned.

The scenery was so beautiful that it resembled the blessed lands of cultivators in fantasy novels.

I turned around and looked at the air vent behind me that seemed out of place in this environment, and then at this blessed land. I really didn't know what to say.

Following Quan Tiehua, we entered the cave along a narrow wooden path. Inside, the pond was crystal clear, with lotus, water chestnuts, and water lilies blooming in profusion, their verdant hues shimmering.

A hollow was opened deep within the dome, through which golden light shone down, reflecting off the shimmering water.

Clear spring water gushes from the bottom of the cave, flows through the Shiwan Bridge arch, and converges into a small waterfall.

There are wooden bookshelves around, as well as some brown modern sofas, tables, chairs and benches.

Between the small shops by the cave, wooden foundations extend outwards to form a wooden railing, upon which phoenix and dragon carvings adorn.

Deep within the cave, amidst the bright lights, sat a towering giant on a massive sofa.

Still immersed in the scene, Zhou Zhe's pupils contracted when he saw the figure, but he still suppressed his fear and horror.

Quan Tiehua stood by a small stone bridge and gestured to Zhou Zhezhi to invite him.

"Mr. Zhou, please come in! That one outside is just my android body!"

Although Zhou Zhezhi was shocked, he remained calm and walked forward with his cane after hearing these words.

He did not come in a wheelchair this time because his family said that he was meeting an important guest and it would be too impolite to come in a wheelchair.

Therefore, a considerable amount of resources were invested in repairing and healing some of his injuries.

This has made things much easier for Zhou Zhezhi now!

Moreover, for some reason, when he entered this place, he always felt that his body was more relaxed, or even younger.

He couldn't figure out why either, and could only attribute it to the air and environment here!
Upon approaching and seeing the towering figure clearly, I was no longer surprised, but I still felt a sense of awe!
Tie Hui was wearing a silk robe and sitting on the sofa.

He then filled his enormous teacup with tea.

Zhou Zhe sat down opposite him, looked up at Tie Hui, and was once again stunned.

At this moment, the bionic body stepped forward and began preparing tea for Zhou Zhezhi.

"You really do resemble one of us Chinese!" Zhou Zhe said directly, looking around at the furnishings. "The layout and scenery here perfectly match the aesthetics of us Chinese. There's even a subtle charm that only we Chinese can appreciate. If it weren't for your physique, I, Zhou, would have thought you were completely Chinese!"

Tie Hui smiled. "Mr. Zhou, there's nothing wrong with what you say. I really like China. And most importantly, we are both human beings!"

Zhou Zhezhi suddenly felt mentally exhausted!

Tie Hui couldn't help but laugh at Zhou Zhezhi's expression. "I come from the Human Empire. The people there may be somewhat different from the people on Earth, but we are all of the same lineage..."

He then began to explain the origins of the human empire and his own, but of course, he didn't mention a word about his ability to travel through time, his possession of a system, or the fact that the worlds he lived in were all fictional.

The former is his own concern, while the latter is easy to understand. If people knew that he lived in a world depicted in the sketchbook of someone from another world, wouldn't that person go crazy?

Zhou Zhezhi fell silent, looking down at the stone ground beneath his feet.

He would occasionally pick up his tea and drink it all in one gulp!

The silence lasted for almost five minutes!

Clearly, the old gentleman was processing the information he had just received!
"This...this is both exciting and shocking news!" Zhou Zhe was speechless for a moment.

I don't know what to say anymore. The wisdom and thinking I usually possess as a politician and diplomat have been shattered in this short period of time by the continuous stream of news.

“It seems Mr. Zhou has accepted this information, so let’s discuss the next steps of our cooperation.” Tie Hui said, gesturing to the android beside him to bring over an agreement.

"The technologies Mr. Zhou saw on the flat panel recently are all available for trading. We can cooperate for mutual benefit!"

Zhou Zhe listened intently to Tie Hui's words, then picked up the agreements that were handed to him and began to examine them carefully. After a long while...

Zhou Zhezhi walked briskly to the roadside at the foot of the mountain, opened the door of the car parked by the roadside, and got in.

This is a purely mechanical oil truck!
At this moment, Zhou Zhe sat calmly in the driver's seat, his eyes blankly staring at the dense jungle ahead.

He had already thrown his cane into the back seat, and it was uncertain whether he would ever need it again.

Looking at the device in his hand, made of an unfamiliar material and resembling a hand warmer.

A very complex expression flashed across his eyes!
He gripped the device tightly with both hands, and a surge of pure life energy instantly flowed into his body, making him feel at least ten years younger.

Especially in the areas of hair he couldn't notice, where there were already large patches of white hair, the hair began to slowly turn black again.

Even the wrinkles on her face have decreased, and she looks younger overall.

"This is truly... a terrible thing!" Zhou Zhe stared at the thing in his hand that was called a life replenisher, sighed, and started the car.

After the agreement was signed, Tie Hui, seeing Zhou Zhezhi's physical condition, donated a life replenisher made from a Spirit Seed free of charge.

Its greatest use is to provide life energy for the elderly.

Theoretically speaking, as long as there are enough spiritual seeds, a person can exist indefinitely.

Zhou Zhezhi naturally knew the origin of this thing, especially after learning that it could grant immortality.

For once, a feeling of greed arose in his heart!
Then, years of self-cultivation firmly suppressed it.

He knew that once he unleashed this desire, he would no longer be himself.

He wanted to refuse, but Tie Hui forcefully shoved one at him!
The reason given was that the patient must recover well, otherwise who would lead the Mountain Moving Project and the Monthly Project in the future?
Zhou Zhezhi held the device in his hand at the time, feeling the continuous flow of life energy. He was in a frantic internal struggle, sitting there thinking.

In the end, they agreed!

What is this?

Using public needs to satisfy one's own selfish desires?
Zhou Zhezhi didn't know how to face his own heart, or how to face other people, because of this.

Upon returning to the capital, Zhou Zhe, under orders from above, quickly distributed the various technologies acquired in the transaction.

Scientists from various laboratories and research institutes were immediately awestruck.

The most shocked person was the old man wearing a Zhongshan suit.

Zhou Zhezhi recounted the entire process and details of the transaction negotiations to him.

In fact, the most awe-inspiring part is the final description of that almost otherworldly paradise.

The dwelling was entirely carved and built by scarabs, and was covered by a huge energy barrier.

Meanwhile, a small-scale controlled nuclear fusion reactor was installed in the sky to act as a sun and provide illumination.

And around it were placed one spirit seed after another!
It was precisely because of these spiritual seeds that Zhou Zhezhi immediately felt a youthful state.

When the old man heard Zhou Zhe mention Ling Xizi and the technical reports on life extension in various technologies, his eyes instantly lit up with surprise.

There was even greed!

For a moment, the entire room fell into a deep silence, with only the heavy breathing of the old man in the Zhongshan suit remaining.

Zhou Zhezhi actually really wanted the old man to be able to use that technology.

"Zhezhi!" After a long silence, the old man in the Zhongshan suit sighed, the greed in his eyes fading, leaving only a deep look. "Some things are meant to be, and some are not! Immortality is really tempting! But I don't need it at my age! Let me rest in peace!"

Zhou Zhe's pupils widened instantly as he looked up at the old man in front of him. "Why? How old are you now..."

Hearing this, the old man smiled and said, "I know what you're trying to say, but I know my health; I don't have many years left to live. That thing too easily amplifies people's inner desires! That's not good for us!"

“But we still need your leadership!” Zhou Zhe’s eyes reddened. He hadn’t expected the older man in front of him to have such courage and determination!

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. This world will eventually no longer belong to an old man like me!" the old man said with a smile, while taking off the badge from his chest and handing it to Zhou Zhezhi.

"We'll need you from now on!"
