#987 - Chapter 987 Free is the most expensive
“What is this thing?”
As the dimensional passage opened, a brand-new creation appeared before Wu Wei's eyes.
The moment he saw this creation, Wu Wei was immediately drawn to it.
Because this thing was very special.
A cannon-like object, its outer shell made of purple alloy.
However, this cannon didn't have a traditional muzzle; instead, it had a very long, lightning rod-like structure.
[In this world's ancient times, this thing was probably called an energy collector.]
[In theory, its greatest function should be to help others collect energy.]
[However, due to the lack of manufacturing techniques, coupled with certain special reasons, this thing has now been modified into a weapon.]
“What is its function as a weapon?”
In response to Wu Wei's question, the Twisted Humanoid replied in text:
[It gathers energy and then simply launches it out.]
Hearing this, Wu Wei's interest immediately waned.
“Forget it then.”
“This kind of thing doesn't sound very impressive.”
According to Wu Wei's definition, this thing was indeed nothing special.
After all, whether it's a cannon or a firearm,
their working principle is to launch "energy" outwards.
So, in his view, this thing wasn't anything great, and he had no interest in buying it.
But the Twisted Humanoid smiled and said to Wu Wei.
[Mr. Wu Wei, I understand your thoughts.]
[But this thing is very special.]
[Among other things, its two most special points are:]
[One: It can accumulate energy of any nature within its body and uniformly convert it into the same type of energy. Whether it's magic energy, electrical energy, or even battle aura, it can convert it.]
[Two: The upper limit of energy that this thing can accumulate far exceeds your imagination. The maximum energy it can accumulate can even pierce through a continent, turning the entire continent into ashes.]
“Oh?”
Hearing this, Wu Wei's previously diminished interest was rekindled.
However, considering the other party's nature, Wu Wei still asked very calmly.
“So, what's the price?”
“How much does this thing cost?”
You should know that the Ancient Ones Alliance is the only alliance in this world that made Wu Wei pay a terrifying 150 billion upfront.
After Wu Wei's massive hemorrhage, he would cautiously inquire about the price of any item from them.
But this time, the price offered by the other party surprised Wu Wei somewhat.
[0!]
[Mr. Wu Wei, I can give you this thing for free!]
Hearing this, Wu Wei was stunned.
“Hey, hey, hey.”
“You're saying you'll give it to me for free, aren't you trying to set up some kind of trap?”
“I'm very suspicious of your alliance's way of doing things.”
As he spoke, Wu Wei pulled the thing into his private space.
Ahem.
In terms of being scummy.
Abyssal Lords, Abyssal Mothers, and even Abyssal beings are all of the same lineage.
[Of course not.]
The Twisted Humanoid nodded.
[However, if you want to use this thing, you may need to do some repairs in advance.]
[And each repair will cost about 100 million.]
[After all, this thing needs to be repaired every time it fires.]
For a moment, Wu Wei really wanted to reach out his sinful body, slap the Twisted Humanoid in front of him hard, and send the other party back to his dimension.
“Good heavens, you were waiting for me here?”
Wu Wei narrowed his eyes, looking at the monster in front of him with an unfriendly expression.
“I knew it, the things you give away for free are more expensive than buying them directly!”
Hearing Wu Wei say this, the Twisted Humanoid remained noncommittal.
[But, it is free in itself, isn't it?]
This sentence was simply nonsense.
After all, something that costs 100 million to fire once, no matter which lord it is, wouldn't use it, right?
Of course, the Gold and Silver Mountain Alliance is a top-tier wealthy alliance.
Even if such a precious thing were given away for free, others wouldn't use it, okay?
Not to mention that this level of weapon was originally prepared for small worlds like the Abyssal Lord.
[You don't need to rush to pay. This thing still has one use left.]
[You can completely use it once, feel its effect, and then come back to me.]
Looking at the monster whose face was full of greed for money, Wu Wei couldn't help but sigh.
Indeed.
The free stuff is the most expensive.
If this thing was really useful, how could he not use it?
.....
Not long after, after completing all the handover ceremonies, Wu Wei returned to the endless abyss with the Abyssal Lord...
He was going to arm this small world!
