Lin Feng chuckled, not caring about this.
He wasn't one to be taken advantage of. Faced with such a super humanoid weapon, would Lin Feng let it go?
No, Lin Feng had his sights set on the entire mechanical lifeform race.
Just imagine, with enough energy, what kind of force would ten thousand fully armed mechanical lifeforms be?
Ten thousand Lin Fengs firing their heat rays simultaneously, no, no, no, based on the number of cannons on their bodies, it would be tens of thousands of heat rays unleashed.
That scene, that destructive power...
Moreover, according to Lin Feng's observation, the armament behind them should have more than just this attack intensity; there should be stronger attack modes.
After witnessing An's transformation, Lin Feng had already categorized them as part of his own camp, his own strength.
"Never mind these details. We've finished discussing the leader's contract. Shall we talk about individual contracts?"
Lin Feng's smile was a little wicked, a little ill-intentioned.
A stream of data flashed through Guang's eyes, failing to analyze Lin Feng's meaning.
"Individual contract? What do you mean by leader?"
"Individual contract, of course, a contract between me personally and your entire race, or rather, a contract between you, the controller."
Guang pointed at herself in confusion.
"Me?"
"That's right. You need special energy, and I need a powerful backup force. I think we can reach a personal collaboration."
"This cooperation contract has nothing to do with the main planet, nothing to do with the entire Black Robe organization. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
At this point, Lin Feng's expression turned serious.
He had considered his words carefully, not having dismissed the possibility of the mechanical lifeform race betraying him.
However, firstly, Lin Feng's wording was relatively subtle.
Secondly, the First Sequence explicitly prohibited building one's own forces, yet it was something that was also turned a blind eye to.
Therefore, even if Guang refused, she couldn't use it to threaten Lin Feng.
Irrelevant to the main planet, irrelevant to the entire Black Robe organization.
These two phrases were thoroughly analyzed by Guang in an instant.
"You mean, a mechanical lifeform force that belongs only to you?"
Guang frowned slightly, a mechanical being frowning looked very stiff.
"Leader, to be honest, we are not a warlike race."
"During our long cosmic journey, we have grown weary of endless combat. We just want to live peacefully in a place where energy is not lacking..."
Guang's words were veiled, but her refusal was firm.
The mechanical lifeform race, above all else, loved endless exploration, exploring the unknown, researching technology.
But at the same time, they were acutely aware of the dangers of the universe, otherwise, there wouldn't be so many monstrous weapons.
Lin Feng felt a sense of resonance with her thoughts.
Who wouldn't want that? Lin Feng also wished to live in a place devoid of danger.
"I can understand your thoughts, but you have explored the universe for so long, you should understand a principle."
"That is, some existences, if not eliminated, will threaten more of the universe."
"Don't be so quick to refuse. I won't let you fight endlessly. I only need you to step forward and fight for me at decisive moments."
Lin Feng's eyes were fixed on Guang.
"Can you understand what I mean?"
Another stream of data flashed through Guang's eyes.
"Decisive, moments..."
Guang understood Lin Feng's meaning.
However, she still wanted to refuse.
Battles that involved Lin Feng and required the entire mechanical lifeform race's assistance were clearly not going to be trivial skirmishes.
This implied that many lives would be lost.
The mechanical lifeform race currently numbered just over ten thousand. Without sufficient energy to create more of their kind, she did not wish to see any more of their kin fall.
Lin Feng saw Guang's hesitation and continued with a smile, "Don't rush to refuse. Since it's a personal contract, I will naturally provide corresponding compensation."
"For example... energy."
When Lin Feng said the word "energy," Guang felt her core clock momentarily stop.
But the next moment, Guang felt she had thought too much.
"Leader, we have explored the universe for tens of thousands of years and have not found any energy source that we can use."
"Our race cannot use electrical energy or other energy sources, nor can we convert them..."
Guang had analyzed countless times why they couldn't use other energy sources, but the analysis always resulted in a disappointing unknown.
Perhaps it was as Lin Feng suspected, that because the development of the mechanical lifeform race posed too great a threat to the universe, there were restrictions imposed on certain aspects.
Lin Feng pondered for a moment and asked, "Do you know about Infinity Stones, or the Cosmic Cube, or similar magical unique energy items?"
"Infinity Stones and the Cosmic Cube?" Guang nodded.
"We do know of these two items, but during our long cosmic exploration, we have not obtained any of them."
"According to our analysis, the energy contained within these two items has a high probability of providing us with an energy supply."
"However, we cannot find any Infinity Stone or Cosmic Cube."
Guang shook her head, then suddenly paused.
"Could it be, Leader?"
Guang suspected that Lin Feng's sudden disclosure of this information meant he possessed information about the location of these items, or perhaps, he himself possessed these items?
Lin Feng indeed did. Although he didn't know why this race had explored the universe for tens of thousands of years without obtaining a single Infinity Stone.
But Lin Feng was prepared to try it out.
He highly valued the combat power of the mechanical lifeform race. He was currently in dire need of combat power, and Lin Feng wouldn't easily let go of this asset!
"Wait a moment!"
Lin Feng reached into his storage space, intending to find an Infinity Stone to let Guang try.
Lin Feng still had many Infinity Stones, obtained during the Time Bureau's second round of zero-cost shopping.
These stones weren't enough to significantly enhance Lin Feng's abilities, so he hadn't absorbed them, lest they come in handy someday.
See, hadn't that day arrived?
Lin Feng held an Infinity Stone and was about to take it out when his gaze stopped again.
Right, didn't he still have that other thing!
Putting down the Infinity Stone, Lin Feng pulled a sphere out of his space.
"Take a look at this. Can this be used as your energy source?"
Guang looked at Lin Feng with some anticipation, expecting him to produce an Infinity Stone, but what he pulled out now was a sphere?
"M'Kraan Crystal. I don't know if you've heard of this thing, but I think you should try it."
Lin Feng handed the red sphere towards Guang.
