I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

Chapter 961: Chapter 609: Vast Technological Relics

It seemed that Solomon noticed the shock inadvertently revealed by the humans, and he continued, "At first, we didn’t believe it either, thinking it might be a hunting trap."

"But in recent decades, there have been too many civilizations that have benefited."

He raised his fingers, counting them one by one, "Some low-level indigenous civilizations purchased supplies and developed technology in just a few decades."

"And some civilizations have optimized their genes, with everyone like a dragon, intelligent and strong! That genetic optimization is not an Extraordinary Spark from an idealist field but a fundamental optimization, genes, you know?"

"And quantum computers! If you want to develop materialism, no matter what, you need computing power."

"In the past hundred years, the news has spread further and further across this continent, and we’ve intercepted hundreds of electromagnetic signals." This leader, named Solomon, became increasingly excited, "These lucky civilizations have soared in a very short time, and the cost was negligible, almost nothing!"

"So we also want to try our luck."

"Some of these civilizations have taken off, directly becoming a Third-level Civilization, not only with technology, materials, but also various machines, all obtainable from the relics! Our Ata Steel Civilization has been stuck at a certain checkpoint for a long time and is also hoping for an adventure."

Lu Yuan couldn’t help but ask, "What about the technology of Fourth-level civilizations? Doesn’t it exist?"

"You must be joking." Realizing that humans were already a Third-level Civilization, Solomon shook his head slightly, "The Fourth-level Civilization is really far away."

"From the Third-level Civilization onwards, one must use Civilization Points to build oneself, which is a long construction process."

"Even if you have ready-made technology, the entire construction period is still long."

If a civilization has not completed a large number of Civilization Milestones, most are quite poor, with points ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand.

This little money obviously makes it hard to break through from Third to Fourth level.

One can only endure slowly or encounter some adventure.

"So the technology of the Fourth-level Civilization... it’s not that it does not exist, but rather that no one buys it." Solomon shook his head, "Its ’Value’ is astonishingly high, no civilization can afford it."

"Moreover, there’s a little rumor widely circulated..." He deliberately left a suspense.

These words made Lu Yuan quite tempted, inadvertently asking, "What rumor?"

"The relic... is waiting for an inheritor!"

"As long as there is a qualified inheritor, those Strangers will give everything away for free!"

"However, none of the current civilizations meet the inheritance requirements. That’s why they’re hiding it... The stronger the civilization, the easier it is to obtain the inheritance."

Humans were once again shocked.

Even someone as wealthy as Lu Yuan found his pupils dilating and his heart pounding!

This is truly a pie in the sky so large it could crush a person to death.

He thought to himself, "It’s indeed worth a visit... even if there’s risk... our strength has grown considerably, and most risks can be controlled."

What followed was a change of topic between the two sides.

Since they all sat down for a proper negotiation, exchanging knowledge, exchanging materials, and technological exchanges were only natural.

Every civilization has some odd curiosities, like certain variant engravings discovered in a flash of a genius’s inspiration. There are also some peculiar forging skills.

The saying goes "In learning, there is priority, and in profession, there is specialization," even a Master Craftsman like Lu Yuan has many methods he hasn’t witnessed before, so learning more is always good.

So for the next period, Lu Yuan, as the "representative craftsman", conducted a craftsmen technology exchange meeting, which he was actually looking forward to.

However, it was quite apparent that due to a lack of strategic mutual trust, the other party did not show anything decent, only some ordinary and boring knowledge.

It’s like a Ph.D. student attending kindergarten classes, Lu Yuan almost fell asleep.

Since the other party wasn’t too sincere, the humans naturally just responded perfunctorily and did not disclose "Field Industrialization" and "Spirit Plant Field".

Fortunately, trade progress in other areas was relatively smooth; the humans exchanged surplus Ice Attribute Ore for some Earth Attribute and Wood Attribute ores.

And various Extraordinary Consumables were traded, roughly amounting to 50-60 Spirit Essence.

The Akagang Civilization’s variety, quantity, and quality of consumables were actually inferior to the humans’, but they still had some that humans did not have.

Green Grass City wasn’t foolish enough to put out everything.

At the beginning of the trade, the items were all low-grade products with high production volumes, like Crystal Winter Valley, Bean Worm Milk, and various wines and beverages. Only later would more valuable goods be traded.

In short, this negotiation lasted for over three days, and both sides had a considerable harvest—even if you despise these trifles, every penny counts, especially when Green Grass City’s National Treasury is full.

And the leader on the other side, Solomon, seemed quite satisfied.

He nodded, "In the past, we gained some leftover ’Value’ from other civilizations through trade. I’m giving you one Value, it’s easy to identify, but make sure not to forge it as every coin has secret engravings."

"Perhaps in the future, we will have more trade opportunities."

He took out a few gleaming coins, their surfaces adorned with complex engravings forming a code.
