I Pick Up Talents on the Interstellar Battlefield

Chapter 501: Chapter 411: Deal Reached

"Five thousand pieces?"

Upon hearing this number, the faces of everyone in the hall instantly froze, and even their breathing slowed by half a beat.

A hundred explosive devices could destroy a medium-sized city, so what does five thousand mean?

Poseidon opened his mouth wide, couldn’t help but mutter in his heart: Could this Hades, the Lord of the Underworld, be a hidden arms dealer?

Ares shuddered, his eyes bursting with intense joy: "Really five thousand? If it’s true, these explosives are enough to solve my current big problem!"

"Of course it’s true, I can hand them over to you right now." Qin Tian nodded, his tone still calm.

"Thank you so much!" Ares stepped forward half a step excitedly.

"Wait a moment."

As soon as the words fell, the light in Qin Tian’s eyes suddenly faded, becoming hollow and dull, as if his consciousness had detached, and the whole person seemed to have "logged off".

A few seconds later, a large iron ball with a diameter of about ten meters suddenly appeared out of thin air on the open space inside the hall. The surface of the iron ball was smooth, without any pattern or sign, yet it exuded an oppressive feeling.

Ares and the others hurriedly stepped forward, using soul power to probe inside the iron ball.

In an instant, violent energy fluctuations rushed towards them, a force of explosion strong enough to tear apart a spirit shield, needing only a trace of spiritual energy to trigger a cataclysmic burst.

"This isn’t a weapon developed by the Empire." Athena stared at the iron ball, her eyebrows furrowed.

This simple exterior doesn’t match the Empire’s precision in standard weapon craftsmanship at all; it seems more like it’s been created directly by some ability.

Yet the more it was so, the more shocked she felt—this meant that Hades, the Lord of the Underworld himself, was akin to an "arsenal" that could mass-produce lethal weapons infinitely, even being called a "humanoid catastrophe".

If he wished, he could single-handedly cause a devastating explosion in the entire Empire.

The iron balls appeared endlessly until they soon piled up, almost filling the entire hall.

Everyone felt somewhat frightened seeing the "mountain of explosives" before them, as if they were sitting on an impending volcano.

Fortunately, the hall seemed to sense the lack of space, and the walls expanded outward visibly, eventually turning into a spacious plaza where five thousand explosive iron balls were neatly arranged.

The light returned to Qin Tian’s eyes, and noticing the complex looks on everyone’s faces, he wasn’t surprised, only looking at Ares: "Are these enough? If not, I still have dozens more on my side."

During the time at Demon Suppression Abyss, the explosive iron balls played a crucial role in many battles, so upon returning to Silver Gray Star, he’d make them in his spare time.

Now with his improved skills, the manufacturing process became more proficient, and he could complete one in a few minutes, unknowingly accumulating over five thousand in the Spirit Space.

"Enough! More than enough!" Ares nodded repeatedly, the joy in his eyes almost overflowing—with these explosives, the trouble he encountered would surely be resolved.

"Good, take this Blood Spirit Bead."

Qin Tian raised his hand and handed the blood-red Spiritual Pearl to Ares, "After hunting dragons, just store the dragon blood in it. It is divided into several areas, and dragon blood of different attributes and levels can be stored in different spaces. You’ll understand after some research."

Ares quickly took the Blood Spirit Bead, feeling its warmth, clearly sensing the power of space circulating inside, he carefully stored it away, nodding solemnly: "Don’t worry, by our next meeting, I will certainly have collected dragon blood that will satisfy you."

Hearing this, Qin Tian nodded slowly.

The Night Demon race originated from vampires, able to enhance themselves by absorbing power from blood.

Though he had now evolved to the Night Emperor bloodline, bearing the Immortal Sacred Body, this talent of absorbing bloodline power had not degraded but rather become stronger due to the dual-talented fusion.

However, the essence blood of ordinary beings was of no use to him long ago, and the essence blood of high-tier bloodlines is too hard to find, which is why he hasn’t improved his power through "blood sucking" for a long time.

But from Ares’s words and the heart of the Tier Seven Red Dragon King that he could present, it’s evident that in Ares’s area of activity, there must be a significant number of high-tier dragons—that indeed can become his stable "blood bank".

If he could continuously acquire dragon blood, not only could he improve himself and strengthen his physique with the energy from the dragon blood, but it could also help Kazik and his Night Demon apostles grow quickly.

As for whether Ares would keep his promise, Qin Tian wasn’t worried.

The Mythical Society is a circle centered around resource exchange and information sharing; its hidden value far exceeds that of a single Blood Spirit Bead or five thousand explosive iron balls.

As long as Ares is not foolish, he would never compromise his credibility in the circle for such minor gains, nor ruin his future channels for more resources.

Having completed the transaction, both Ares and Qin Tian were very satisfied.

Others also saw the resources Qin Tian could bring; explosives may seem unnecessary now but might prove crucial at certain times.

"Does anyone else need to trade?" The Sea Emperor looked around at everyone.

Seeing no response, he said: "Then today’s gathering is over, everyone, we’ll meet again in three months."

"Goodbye!"

Within the hall, one by one, the figures became ethereal, until only Ares was left, and after storing all the explosive iron balls, he too quickly logged off.

...

In a storage room, Qin Tian’s fingers stroked a gold token, his gaze flickering slightly—the atmosphere of the Mythical Society was much more relaxed than he expected. Perhaps because everyone was wearing "virtual masks," unshackled by real-world identities, making interactions more direct and sincere, with less superficial courtesy.

Moreover, from the conversations, he’s made a simple judgment of the identities, personalities, and abilities of these geniuses.

Suspected Beastmaster, lively Sea Emperor Poseidon.

Acts like a master but is a lazy homebody True Martial Emperor.

Crafting expert Taoist Duobao.

With deep background, bold and straightforward Athena.

Warlord Ares, who could hunt the Tier Seven Red Dragon King.

And the Giant Spirit God, who remained silent throughout.

This gathering, with the show of the "five thousand explosives," he demonstrated his resource capabilities, managing to integrate initially into the circle. Yet he’s acutely aware of a trump card he hasn’t revealed—his weapon enhancement ability of the [Divine Weapon Emperor], his true core asset.

"Buzz——"

Just then, the gold token in his hand vibrated slightly, and a gentle energy wave emanated from it.

With thoughts stirring, Qin Tian immediately injected a wisp of soul power into the token.

The next moment, a clear message entered his sea of consciousness: "Lord of the Underworld, I’m Poseidon! I forgot to tell you, this token also has communication functions, allowing for private chats with other members or sending group messages. If you need intelligence or help with anything in the future, just use the token and communicate with everyone; no need to wait for gatherings! Feel free to chat if there’s nothing going on. See you in three months~"

A flash of realization crossed Qin Tian’s eyes—no wonder the meeting felt hastily ended after trading, disbanding right after transactions. It turns out that communication through the token is constantly possible.

Holding the token, feeling the energy flowing through his fingertips, he gained even more appreciation for the token’s value.
