453 The Uses Of My Bones
[Well, that’s just a list]
[No, it’s not! It’s the list all the big forces here are looking for. You just don’t get it yet, one day you’ll know the true value of this]
[Let’s wait for that day then. Now let’s get back to business]
[I can help you in buying human slaves… But for getting humans from ongoing apocalypses…]
[I’m not asking for any fresh apocalypse, I want any human from any source]
[What? Are you planning to make a big sacrificial ritual to make an artefact?]
Her words were alien in my ears, but I had to not think about such a brutal thing.
[No, I just need humans]
[Fighters?]
[People to breed and give birth to kids]
[Ah… That will make things easier]
[Also fighters are welcomed as well]
[They aren’t just pricey, but rare to find]
[Hectors have lots of strong humans]
[No one dares to snatch something from those maniacs]
[But you already got many of their folks]
[That’s… it’s just a thing that happened in a new apocalypse, something that wouldn’t bring me any trouble. Besides, stop spreading such dangerous news around. This isn’t going to end well for me or my impact]
She seemed scared, really scared from Hector. Of course I knew she wasn’t scared of the weak version of them in my apocalypse, but of the mighty figures in such a formidable race.
[Ok, won’t mention it… a lot]
[You… let’s just end our talk here]
[Hey hey! I want my humans]
[You made me unsettled! Let me have a couple of weeks as a vacation then]
[I’ll give you one special bone as a reward]
[Damn! Is it for real?]
Sigh! Her price was already known so she couldn’t play such tricks on me.
[I’ll give you a silver grade one, a very special one]
[That will make me feel much better]
[What about my humans?]
[Give me time, I’ll see what I can do first. Send me the bone now, I want to marvel my eyes on it]
[What are you doing with all these bones anyway?] I sent the bone that I had tons from to her. But she didn’t know that, and that made such a deal perfect for both of us.
[I use these in many things, but the most important is… I won’t tell!]
Damn! She played me here!
[Are they used for something good?]
[Very good]
[Don’t tell me it’s to increase your beauty]
[Screw you! As if I ever needed such dirty tricks! I’m a star! I’m a beauty symbol in the entire universe!]
[Ok, ok, I’m in the wrong here] I had to stop this from going through this dark path, [But I need to know of the uses you have for my bones] ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕꪫꪣꫀꪶ
[What? Don’t tell me you don’t know how to use them!]
[If I do, then how come I throw them away like this?]
[Damn! And you want me to tell you? No way! Go away man, go away I’m busy]
[Wait… I won’t change the price of our dealings]
[Empty promises, no use for such useless words]
Her firm stance made me more curious about my bones. I only used them as sources of energy, to use them in my cultivation.
But if there were other uses for them, I should know about them.
[I won’t tell]
[Another silver bone, perhaps?]
[Make it two and I’ll tell]
[Done]
I didn’t hesitate to send her two more silver grade bones.
[Damn man! Your pocket knows no bottomline]
[Just tell me what you know]
[Well… I don’t guarantee your words about our deals]
[We can sign a contract together about this]
[Hmm… That might work indeed. Ok, I’ll send you one now]
This girl… She seemed to know a ground shaking secret of my bones that I wasn’t aware of. Or else she wouldn’t act in such a sceptical way towards this info.
In the next few minutes, she sent a contract over and I signed it.
[Now say what you know]
[Ok, the first use is for its immense energy. It has such a pure energy that can be used in fueling anything]
[I know about that already… What else?] don’t tell me she did all that just for such info. If so, then I got my hopes elevated.
[There is more… Do you know that each bone holds part of the cultivation of its owner?]
[And?] girl, all this was old news for me.
[It’s big! You can use some kind of a way and let anyone start cultivation! Even those weak and useless slaves are able to start cultivating]
Reading this made my eyes pop out! Damn! Damn! That… That was just big news for me!
What was the biggest obstacle for my forces? For my human race? We suck in terms of cultivation.
But if there was a way to deal with that, it would be great. Actually I depended on the Hector girl, Lily, and her knowledge and experience regarding this matter to do this.
But if there was another way to do it, I wouldn’t just stand by and watch.
[What else?] Despite me getting on the edge here, I had to see what else she got.
Who knew, I might get something great next.
[Hmm… The bones can be used in certain way to strengthen the body of anyone, but this needs lots of conditions to be met]
[Like what?] I asked while my mind was still busy thinking about what she said earlier.
[Like having a cultivation base stronger and higher from the one who had the bone extracted from. Also the success ratio isn’t that big, and depends on the mysterious knowledge of souls that not commonly known to public in our universe]
[Aha] I wasn’t that enthusiastic about this, [But what’s the benefit from doing this?]
[Benefit? Come on! You can’t be joking like that! Having a bone added to your body will strengthen the part it gets attached to. Also it will make your cultivation stronger, make your physical body sturdier, and in one case we had one to develop extra thorn that held toxic properties]
[What?]
