Colonial Suit

The room was quiet.

Blood瞳 and Robbie stared at the slug-like creature, their eyes thoughtful.

At their level, ordinary wealth had long become meaningless. Take star coins, for example. What did hundreds of thousands, or even trillions, mean? The value of currency lay only in the equivalent it represented. Blood瞳 and Robbie were strong enough to disregard ordinary matter!

In other words, everything common that could be exchanged for currency held no attraction for them! All they needed now was an order, and they would receive unlimited resources! Whether these resources were gold or more precious equivalents, it was guaranteed by the entire human race and the Universe Mercenary Headquarters!

This was the majesty and strength of top-tier universe warriors!

But the 'pastry' Xie produced was different!

This thing was not ordinary matter. No, to be more precise, even 'rare' was not enough to describe its preciousness. Beneath that ugly exterior was a life form so valuable that even Blood瞳 couldn't help but take notice.

It could simulate any carbon-based life form and optimize genes. Transferring it to the recipient through consumption and mating… what did that mean?

It was clearly a triple temptation of 'lust,' 'wealth,' and 'power' aimed at biological energy!

In terms of lust, who could be more perfect and seductive than the opposite sex they simulated? (Note: including but not limited to humans. With this thing, even ooxxing a goddess might not be impossible.)

In terms of wealth, each of them could sell for a sky-high price, and that was in the Second World! How much was a planet like that worth?

In terms of power, they could simulate powerful war creatures. Couldn't they easily form an army, a civilization? Such expansion… how could it be encompassed by a country or a planet?

Xie's reward seemed simple, but it encompassed several major primal needs of life. No wonder he showed such a confident expression. No wonder he had claimed that planet for himself! Because in his position, only this kind of rare treasure was worth collecting.

What, you want money and beauties? Please, can we have a little more class? Do you think Xie cares about that? The opposite sexes waiting to mate with him could stretch for light-years, wrapping the Earth like a dumpling… could he handle it with just one stick?

So Xie generously took out this treasure to reward those he deemed worthy.

And undoubtedly, even the top experts of the Second World would not ignore this 'pastry' of his. It was truly a reward of sufficient weight!

Unfortunately, Blood瞳 and Robbie remained silent. They just silently looked at the planet, without even a hint of interest.

Xie wasn't angry. Instead, he revealed a hint of appreciation. These were the strong individuals worthy of his attention. Otherwise, if they were easily tempted like ordinary people, how would they be worth wasting his effort on? A dog that wags its tail at a thrown bone isn't a good dog!

So he directly threw out the second bone… oh no, the second reward.

A huge, light blue crystal.

However, the focus wasn't on the crystal, but on what was sealed inside. Even Blood瞳 would gasp at this thing.

A hexagonal small box, with a circular crystal in the center.

A unit!

In sealed form!

Unlike others, Blood瞳 was a true bio-armor user. He could naturally see that this unit was not only not a counterfeit but also possessed immense vitality! Its protein shell was covered in dense scars, as if still carrying the smoke and aura of an ancient war. It had crossed the barrier of time and space to appear before him, the successor of the Krodel race ten thousand years later!

That was the weight of history, the sorrow of a civilization. It seemed to be telling Blood瞳 about the tragedy of that final battle.

Blood瞳 couldn't help but close his eyes. An uncontrollable tremor surged from the depths of his heart.

This wasn't anger, but an indescribable throbbing. Krodel people don't die naturally, so Xie being able to obtain such a bio-armor could only mean one thing: that the owner of this bio-armor had suffered extremely painful torture.

This might have been an endless war of attrition, dragging this conqueror to death, or it might have been a reverse modulation method, forcibly stripping the bio-armor from the host. But regardless, for the former owner of this bio-armor, it meant unimaginable pain and suffering.

“I can see that you have received Sasa Clan's enhanced cell implantation. That's why you showed hostility towards me when we first met. The Sasa Clan's enhanced cells are a Krodel counterfeit. Although they minimize side effects, they also lack the aggression and power of the original. So even if you obtained the so-called 'bio-armor,' it's just a low-level clone.”

Xie stared unblinkingly at Blood瞳, his fingers gently stroking the blue crystal. “But I believe you can see its difference. This is a genuine bio-armor. It was born in the ancient Great Chaos era, stripped out by my ancestors using special means, and sealed until now. The Boka Clan's technology has ensured its integrity and activity, and restored it to its un-implanted state.”

The latest novel is first published on Liǔ 9 Shū Bā!

Speaking of which, Xie's fingers stopped, landing right at the center of the blue crystal, the control hub of the unit. “There aren't many bio-armors like this left in the universe today. The Sasa Clan even had some disputes with us over it. This is enough to show its value. If you like it, then it's your second 'dessert'.”

“…” Blood瞳 remained silent, but after a while, he said in a low voice, “As far as I know, bio-armors can't be used casually. They still require a condition.”

“You're right, but since I've taken it out, do you think I'd leave out this flaw?” Xie smiled and took out another small piece of crystal, placing it in front of Blood瞳. In this crystal, there was only a small red dot. “The conqueror's spinal cord stem cells. Its key.”

“I don't need to tell you how to use this, right? As long as you implant it into your body and establish a circulation, you'll have the bloodline of the Krodel race. Then this genuine bio-armor can be used.” Xie's eyes narrowed, and a faint cold light flashed in the gaps. “Believe me, it's definitely much better than the fake you're using now.”

The room suddenly became extremely silent, as if a pin dropping on the ground could be heard.

Blood瞳 silently stared at the two crystals, speechless for a long time. He didn't know if Xie was testing him, but regardless, the other party's generosity was indeed commendable. If such a bio-armor were to be leaked outside, it would be enough to trigger a war between civilizations. But here, it was just a 'dessert' that Xie had taken out.

But, are these useful to me?

Blood瞳 closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths. Then he said to Xie.

“I'm sorry, Your Highness. Although your generosity surprises me, these are not what I want. I wonder if you could listen to my request?” (To be continued…)
