Chapter 291 Trading Humans for Information
Lin Xiaohe finally agreed to Elder Giant Whale's proposal.

She told Gaia the cosmic coordinates of Kyushu, and then used the fourth dimension to return to Kyushu.

She laid it all out in advance to the mutated stardust creatures: "If there's room on the Ark, you may enter. If there isn't, I won't care whether you live or die."

Carrying the weight of so many civilizations and races, Lin Xiaohe's back was almost bent over, and she simply didn't have the energy to take care of these creatures.

The radioactive jellyfish was overjoyed and repeatedly replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

It immediately severed ten tentacles and handed them to Weasley and the others: "A small token of my appreciation, just for an extra meal."

Weasley's lips twitched. Is this how interactions between interstellar races always go?!
He glanced at the party leader out of the corner of his eye, and seeing that the leader did not object, he took the jellyfish tentacles on his own initiative.

This action brought a small sense of relief to the stardust creatures.

They were quite shrewd, not daring to approach Kyushu Star, and maintaining a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

After dealing with this matter, Lin Xiaohe went to Taiyin Star to check on the progress of the Ark of Myriad Phenomena.

The ark's outer shell modification is complete. The entire spaceship looks completely different from before.

Hardy, one of the key figures in charge, stayed by Lin Xiaohe's side, following her every step: "After practice, we overturned the first version of the plan."

He was an ordinary human being, and even with his high mental strength, he looked several years older under such intense work conditions.

“The original Ark, uh…” he organized his thoughts.

After all, the original Ark was designed by Lin Xiaohe.

"While it has a unique aesthetic appeal, from a scientific perspective, it is not suitable for travel in space."

Lin Xiaohe expressed her understanding, explaining that the previous version of the Ark's design was based on the multi-story ships of Blue Star China.

The universe is not an ocean; there are far too many factors that affect navigation.

The new Ark is not a streamlined ship, but a magnificent entity that resembles a living continent.

The basic outline is a rugged spindle shape, and the core skeleton is constructed of high-strength composite metal materials from the Rock family, like the spine of a mountain range.

Its outer shell is covered with the biological scales of a Void Devourer, and between the scales flow the shimmering blue energy veins of a marine civilization, like the blood vessels of a continent.

The Zerg's active tissues form constantly fine-tuned proliferative structures in key areas, keeping the Ark's shape in a state of slow "growth."

The thruster array is not yet ready; this will be the focus of the next phase of the modification.

Lin Xiaohe stood in the middle of the spindle, which was the most important control area.

Looking at the entire spaceship from here, it feels strange and disjointed.

Clearly, Hardy also sensed this unease and had to admit: "Our human technological foundation is too poor, and the time is too short, so we cannot fully comprehend the knowledge of prehistoric civilizations."

Hardy smiled wryly. The development paths of these prehistoric civilizations were vastly different, making it extremely difficult to fully understand them.

Lin Xiaohe comforted her, "It's not your fault."

Just as ants can never understand what a spaceship is, it is nothing short of a pipe dream for humanity to try to fully comprehend all the achievements of civilization.

While they understood, the Ark of All Things was a matter of life and death for them, and Hardy and the others were under immense pressure, getting only about two hours of sleep a day.

As for the Stardust Humans, it was even more outrageous; they worked non-stop for three months straight!

The research team following behind Hardy lowered their heads, not daring to look at Lin Xiaohe.

Honestly, they really did their best.

Just as Lin Xiaohe was about to say a few words of comfort to them, her eyes suddenly narrowed, and her true form swiftly transported to the Fourth Dimensional Sacred Domain. An uninvited guest arrived at the Sacred Domain chessboard.

A young man dressed in a green robe hovered above the chessboard, observing the life essence within it with great interest.

Lin Xiaohe's eyes were filled with vigilance, and she quickly donned red armor: "Chang Qing?"

Chang Qing's gaze swept over Lin Xiaohe.

In that instant, Lin Xiaohe felt as if he had looked her over from head to toe.

"It's me. You've gotten stronger again."

Lin Xiaohe's feelings towards Chang Qing were complicated, a mixture of closeness and wariness: "You..."

"Shh..." Chang Qing's slender eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling. "Don't doubt it, I am indeed the seed of the Lotus Tree, and the third candidate. I have the answers to many of the things you want to know."

Just like when they first met, he said with a hint of nonchalance, "But I won't tell you for free that our connection is over."

Lin Xiaohe felt a little sad: "I thought we were friends."

"If there is no catastrophe, we can remain friends forever."

Lin Xiaohe gripped her spear tightly: "Why can't we work together? There's no limit to the number of survivors in this apocalyptic crisis, is there?"

"Hehe, don't even think about using your mysterious power in the fourth dimension. Your level isn't high enough." Chang Qing swiftly appeared in front of Lin Xiaohe, his gaze fixed on the tip of the spear.

He even reached out and touched it, then opened his eyes and said the truth: "This isn't my true form. Even if you kill me, it won't make a difference."

Where is your true form?

"Hehe, it's a secret." Chang Qing tilted his head, his dark eyes like a bottomless whirlpool. "Let's make a deal. Give me 2000 humans in exchange for the answer to one question. Or 10 Stardust Humans in exchange for one answer. Hmm, people from the four major families will also work."

He said confidently, "You must have a lot of questions you want to ask me."

On the planet Kyushu, there are at least several hundred thousand ordinary humans.

Trading a mere 2000 humans for a huge secret is a really good deal.

Chang Qing sighed inwardly, realizing that he had ultimately softened towards Lin Xiaohe and had actually made such a losing deal with her.

Lin Xiaohe couldn't glean any information from Chang Qing's expression.

She smiled and joked as if chatting with a good friend, "You have to tell me what you need humans for. Otherwise, I'll be at a huge loss."

Chang Qing smiled and said, "You cunning little He, this question is worth 2000 humans. Do you want to make a deal with me?"

"No. How would I know if your answer is true or false? After all, you once told me that information is the most important fighting force of civilization. Everyone lies, including you."

Chang Qing nodded in agreement: "You're right. I can only promise that what I'm telling you is what I believe to be true."

Like a devil, he whispered in Lin Xiaohe's ear: "Some questions you can put off until later to find the answers. But don't you want to know how to avoid this major crisis? I can tell you definitively that I have a path with a one in ten thousand chance of success."

A probability of one in ten thousand is not small.

Lin Xiaohe once used the Zerg's giant graveyard deduction ability to predict more than 3 million development paths, all of which ultimately pointed to total annihilation.

Chang Qing's voice was full of temptation: "Just like you said, 2000 humans, you can't lose out, you can't be cheated, why not give it a try? Sigh, okay, I know you're kind, you can't bear to part with so many people, then let's change it to 10 Stardust Humans."

Lin Xiaohe's expression was cold, and her whole being exuded rejection.

Chang Qing seemed quite helpless, saying with a mix of grievance and indulgence, "Alright, alright. I can never win an argument with you. How about exchanging one of the four great families for it? Is that alright? I'm losing out big time."
