As Abigail, I caused trouble in infinite space.

Ivan maintained his smile, but for some reason, Abigail found the smile somewhat repulsive.

"I said, can you please stop laughing? Don't show me that fake smile anymore."

"It seems Miss Abigail doesn't like my smile, so I'll refrain from smiling then. It's just a habit, so please don't mind, Miss Abigail. Transmigrators like us without any cheat codes have to be careful in everything we do!"

As he spoke, Ivan dropped his fake smile.

"It looks much better this way, so it's better to be more authentic."

“Is that so? I do indeed like people as outspoken as Miss Abigail. Well, since you've put it that way, I won't mince words. Miss Abigail, I hope we can make some deals.”

Abigail smiled after hearing Ivan's words.

"Trading? Sure, I love trading with people."

Chapter 204 Friendly Negotiations

Ivan was quite pleased to receive Abigail's affirmative answer.

"However, there is still a problem. We don't know each other very well. Although I know you are very powerful and you know I have an empire, it is difficult to cooperate without understanding each other's situation. However, as transmigrators, we cannot reveal our trump cards to others. Therefore, I have a suggestion."

"What suggestion?"

"It's very simple. Just state your needs directly, then we will evaluate each other's needs, and if there is anything that needs to be modified, we will bring it up, and finally reach a condition that satisfies both of us."

It's no wonder he became emperor; he came up with a solution that would satisfy both sides in such a short time.

"Your method is quite good. Okay, shall we go first or should I go first?"

"Ladies first."

Ivan smiled and said.

"Alright, I'll get to it first. I hope you can tell me about the time traveler you know. You should still be in contact with him, right?"

"I understand. Is this your request? Okay, I'll make my request too. I hope you can tell me how to travel between worlds. I don't need to know how to travel to other completely different worlds. I just need to know how to travel within this world, which is composed of countless worlds."

Abigail looked at Ivan with some surprise.

"Are you wondering how I know this? The method of traveling through worlds is just one of the most basic magics of the Time and Space Administration. You must have already contacted the Time and Space Administration, so you must know about this magic."

“I’m not surprised that you know I have time travel magic. I just didn’t expect you to make such a request. However, although this magic is just a very basic magic for the Time and Space Administration or the Midcherda civilization, it must be extremely important to you.”

"You should understand one thing: the value of something depends on how much importance the person who wants to obtain it attaches to it. You can't get this magic just by relying on the information from that time traveler."

Ivan wasn't surprised by Abigail's words, since she wasn't wrong.

“I understand what you mean, Miss Abigail. Actually, the time traveler I'm telling you about has a major secret behind him. You should know about the changes in this world, right? I've also said that I don't have any cheat codes. All of this is actually thanks to the help of that time traveler. We also had a deal. And during one of our conversations, I learned that this time traveler actually has a huge organization behind him. I think this information should be worth that magic.”

Ivan said confidently, not worried that Abigail wouldn't agree. Just as Abigail had mentioned before, she herself didn't value this magic. She simply wanted to gain more by making herself valued through this magic.

Even if the information I have now doesn't meet Abigail's expectations, I can just add some extra benefits. Compared to this magic, other benefits are minor.

"But then again, I've always had a question."

"what?"

Do you know how I came into this world?

Ivan shook his head.

"The reason I came to this world is because people from your world, or rather, people from Seko, went to the headquarters of the Time and Space Administration and caused some trouble. I followed the coordinates left by his soul to come here. Are you aware of this?"

Upon hearing Abigail's question, Ivan pondered for a moment before nodding and replying.

“I did it. You should know about the Kingdom of Mid, right? Actually, if the Empire really wanted to take over the Kingdom of Mid, it would be perfectly capable of doing so. However, behind them is a fleet from the Time and Space Administration supporting them. Although this fleet cannot interfere too much in the affairs of our world for various reasons, a little intervention is still no problem.”

"So you sent people to the headquarters of the Time and Space Administration to cause trouble?"

"Hmm, although I don't know exactly what the people I sent did, it seems to be quite serious."

"Yes, that's pretty serious. You know the Book of Darkness, right? That thing was activated directly at the Time and Space Administration headquarters by the people you sent. They practically blew that place up."

Ivan seemed somewhat surprised upon hearing the news.

"I never expected him to do something so crazy. I can roughly guess what he was thinking. Now I finally understand why the Time and Space Administration's ship, which had been stuck in the cracks of the world for half a year, left just a few days ago. He really did a good job."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, Ivan thought of another problem, and his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

"Miss Abigail, does this mean the Time and Space Administration already knows that it was my people who did these things?"

"Guess."

Abigail said with a smile.

"It seems there aren't any left."

Ivan then said.

Why are you so sure?

"It's just simple logical analysis. In any case, after so many years of struggling in this world, I've learned quite a lot."

"Okay, so people like you aren't fun."

"I'm really sorry, but personally, I don't want to be played by others."

"Well, at least someone like you isn't annoying. Speaking of which, since you have the ability to send people to the Time and Space Administration and even swap their souls with others, why do you need to get the magic of time travel from me?"

Why do you think I didn't do that?

"Uh, oh, I see. So you didn't actually send just one over there."

Abigail was suddenly enlightened and looked at Ivan with some approval. But to be fair, someone like Ivan, who had worked his way up to various positions, couldn't possibly only have one plan.

"Actually, there's another problem. In fact, according to the orders I gave, the person I sent shouldn't have done something so crazy. Although I don't know why the person I sent ended up doing such a thing, there must be some hidden reasons that I don't know about."

Ivan said calmly, but in reality, he was quite unsettled. He had poured a great deal of resources into this person, and yet this person had done such a thing. This was clearly not what he expected. Ivan did not believe that this person would betray him, so the only explanation was the time traveler who had helped him with this matter.

"It seems you've been betrayed."

Abigail said with a hint of schadenfreude.

"It seems that's true. I wonder how it is for others. Fortunately, in the end, heaven still favored me, and you came to me. Otherwise, I would have really lost everything."

Ivan chuckled softly. It must be said that Ivan was quite clear in his mind that if it weren't for Abigail, he would have really been sold out and would have been helping the seller count the money.

"It seems that the time traveler you mentioned isn't as friendly as you described."

"I didn't fully trust him to begin with. If I had a choice, I wouldn't have chosen to cooperate with him. Now that you're here, I trust you more than he does."

Abigail didn't believe a word Ivan said. He wouldn't have risen to his current position if he'd truly trusted a complete stranger like himself.

Whether Ivan truly trusted her or not, it didn't affect Abigail. After all, he was just a passerby; they each got what they wanted.

"I agree to your conditions, but I hope you won't hide anything from me. I may not be good at much else, but I'm quite adept at spotting lies."

Ivan wasn't sure if what Abigail said was true, but he always knew his place.

"Don't worry, I understand these things. Transactions require integrity."

"Alright, I'll tell you about magic later. Just tell me what you know first."

“Miss Abigail, I don’t think this is appropriate. Transactions should be conducted with cash on delivery. It’s not that I don’t trust you, Miss Abigail, but even brothers should keep clear accounts. Sometimes it’s not wrong to be a little cautious.”

"You're really indecisive! You're no good among this generation of transmigrators; you don't even have a fighting spirit."

Abigail muttered to herself, somewhat exasperated by Ivan's cautious demeanor.

"I still prefer to play it safe and seek victory through stability."

Ivan said with a smile.

"Alright then, but I can't teach you about teleportation magic right now."

"There's no rush. There's plenty of time. Besides, to make this collaboration more pleasant, I need to organize the information I have."

At this point, Ivan paused slightly before continuing:

"How about this, Miss Abigail, you stay here with me for a few days. During these days, I will organize and summarize the information I know into a document and give it to you. You should also organize the magic that allows you to travel through time during these days. Then we can exchange them, and neither of us will owe the other anything."

"Okay, let's do it this way. Go and make the arrangements. Oh, and you'd better make it clear to your people that if they upset me or something goes wrong, don't blame me."

With that, Abigail got up and walked outside. She figured she might as well take this opportunity to wander around and see what was interesting.

As Abigail walked down the corridor, she looked around, hoping to see something interesting.

Just then, a blonde girl walked towards them from the front.

Abigail's eyes lit up when she saw the girl.

"Little sister, is there anything I can help you with?"

The girl stopped and looked at Abigail, who was blocking her way, with some confusion.

"You're really funny."

Abigail looked at the woman with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Little sister, is there something wrong with me?"

The girl found it strange, but Abigail's gaze made her feel as if she could be seen through.

"Something's not right, something's really not right. I never expected something like this to happen. Ivan must have done this too."

Abigail showed great interest in this matter.

“Ivan? Oh, you’re the Abigail Ivan was talking about? It’s a pleasure to meet you. My name is Messir, Messir Garfield.”

"Messier, it's a pleasure to meet you. I have a question for you. Are you aware of the changes that have occurred in you?"

"Changes in your body?"

Messil tilted his head in confusion.

Have I changed at all?

"It seems you don't know. Well then, let me tell you, you..."

"Messi!"

Just as Abigail was about to reveal the truth, a shout suddenly came from behind her.

"Ivan!"

Messil happily skipped over Abigail and jogged toward Ivan, who was walking toward him.
