Chapter 798 Compensation

All authority and power would dissolve under the dreamlike erosion of this bronze hall.

That high-hanging Concept Sword could end all chaos.

The Lord of Love had paid the price of life, allowing this incredible power to appear in the Bronze Hall, within the Initial…

Obviously, all of this was within A’Fu's control, so it was not afraid of those powers entering the ship at all.

“Then what if I take them out?”

Gu Xiaoman asked anxiously, her fingers caressing [Tide], the fingertips rustling with debris.

It was no longer appropriate to call it [Tide] at this moment.

It was just an ordinary, molted conch.

If she kept caressing it, it would fall apart and turn into sand.

"The answer is already obvious... Miss Xiaoman."

A’Fu replied gently, "It's nothing anymore, no longer an 'object of authority.' From the moment you stepped into the hall, it was just an ordinary conch. If you want, you can crush it into ashes right now."

Gu Xiaoman was stunned.

"Even the fire seed of the Lord of Love was extinguished by that 'Concept Sword'."

The small cube radiated a beaming red light, earnestly asking, "How could these 'objects of authority' containing meager divine power resist the influence of this power?"

Gu Shen breathed a long sigh.

Indeed.

These objects of authority were first-class divine objects in the eyes of mortals.

They could cause landslides, ground fissures, tsunamis, and cloud collapses.

But this object only condensed a wisp of the Divine Throne’s will.

"You..."

Xiaoman gritted her teeth, jumped up again, hugged the small cube, and gave it a resounding flick!

Ding!

A’Fu's voice trembled, and it said aggrievedly, "Miss Xiaoman, why are you attacking again this time?"

"What did these three innocent objects of authority do to offend you? Did you ask me before you broke them?!"

Gu Xiaoman gritted her teeth.

Gu Shen couldn't help but find it funny.

It turned out that Gu Xiaoman's previous trance was not because she was shocked by the power of the "Concept Sword," but because she was heartbroken over the three trophies she had finally collected.

"I... I... I..."

A’Fu was dumbfounded.

It didn't expect Gu Xiaoman to treat these three objects of authority as treasures.

The small cube flew around anxiously, at a loss, and even turned its "gaze" to Gu Shen.

The "gaze" that A’Fu cast was clearly asking for help.

Gu Shen smiled slightly, reached out a hand, patted Xiaoman's shoulder, and said softly, "Xiaoman, how can you be so naughty? You also know that A’Fu didn't do it on purpose."

"Yes, yes, yes..."

As soon as these words came out, the small cube that was flying around suddenly stopped, as if it had caught a life-saving straw.

A’Fu quickly said, "Mr. Gu Shen is right, Xiaoman, I really didn't do it on purpose..."

Gu Xiaoman's expression clearly improved a lot.

Her tone was rather aggrieved: "But my things are gone..."

A’Fu fell into the previous state of anxiety again.

It was really not good at coaxing children, so it could only continue to cast its gaze at Gu Shen.

Gu Shen continued, "Don't be sad. Think about it carefully. A’Fu's master is the great 'God of Smelting and Craftsman,' a monument leader who built such a miracle land as the 'Initial...' Such a great existence, if something is damaged, would it turn a blind eye?"

When these words were said at the beginning, A’Fu kept nodding, expressing praise, thinking that it had really misjudged people.

This Gu Shen was obviously different from what it had originally expected, a completely honest person.

But when it heard the latter part, it realized that something was wrong, but it was too late.

"So, you mean... A’Fu will compensate me for these losses, right?"

Although they hadn't seen each other for five years, Gu Xiaoman and Gu Shen's tacit understanding had reached the extreme.

From the moment Gu Shen patted her shoulder.

The little guy knew what play to act.

With the dagger revealed, Gu Xiaoman raised her head, not even looking at A’Fu.

Gu Shen looked at the small cube that was in a stagnant state and said seriously, "A’Fu, you will compensate, right?"

"..."

A’Fu suddenly stopped talking and flying.

"A’Fu may have crashed, it doesn't matter, we'll wait a little longer." Gu Shen continued, "I believe the great God of Smelting and Craftsman will not go back on his word..."

Before he finished speaking, A’Fu's voice rang out bitterly.

"Stop talking, I'll compensate."

It hadn't seen the sun in the outside world for many years, and it didn't know the sinister nature of people's hearts in the outside world.

No matter what civilization, as long as it hasn't been destroyed, it will always evolve with the passage of time.

In A’Fu's opinion, although the technology of human civilization in the past six hundred years was not as good as it used to be... the number of tricks in their minds was eight hundred more than before! These guys had put all their skill points on trickery!

"I want to take away those 'black silver' from the outer snowfield..."

Gu Xiaoman had just spoken when Gu Shen immediately stopped her.

But unfortunately, she had already spoken.

"No problem!" A’Fu agreed very quickly, extremely readily.

Its heart, which had been tense, immediately relaxed a lot when it heard Gu Xiaoman's request.

It had never made any compensation in so many years...

Logically and emotionally, it was indeed the one "compensating," and out of maintenance for its master's reputation, it was difficult to refuse Gu Xiaoman's next request, as long as it didn't break its bottom line and the precepts of the Initial, it would choose to agree.

But unexpectedly.

The little guy just wanted black silver!

There was a lot of this stuff on the Initial, and you could take as much as you wanted...

"???"

Gu Xiaoman widened her eyes. When she heard A’Fu agree so readily, she knew that she had made the wrong request.

Gu Shen patted the little guy's head helplessly. Although Xiaoman's acting talent was superb, she still suffered from being too young when it came to the skill of extortion.

However, he was still there.

"The black silver will be considered compensation for one of the three damaged objects of authority... how about it?"

Gu Shen held Gu Xiaoman's shoulder and negotiated with A’Fu for her.

"...Okay."

A’Fu smiled. It was no longer as nervous as before. Black silver offsetting one of the three objects of authority was indeed a reasonable request... In its heart, this "black silver" was indeed not a valuable thing.

According to the imagination of these two people.

The next two things probably won't require anything precious either.

"In other words... we can still make two requests, right?"

Gu Shen paused deliberately, guiding step by step.

"Well... that's right."

A’Fu manipulated the small cube, flying around in the bronze hall. It said seriously, "Although black silver material is precious, there are other precious things in the Initial... You only have two things left to choose, so you must choose carefully."

It was not stupid.

A’Fu was digging a pit for Gu Shen and Gu Xiaoman.

"You can consider taking away a Red Shadow Robot. The Initial also has many precious resources and 'unfinished creations' left by the master."

A’Fu tempted, "Taking these back are much more practical than 'objects of authority'!"

Gu Shen knew that this was a trap...

It's just that A’Fu's suggestion was indeed very tempting.

The Initial was too big. So far, Gu Shen had not explored it in detail. As for what was inside, he was not sure.

"The second request, we want the permission of the 'Initial'."

After thinking for a moment, Gu Shen said with a smile, "We don't need too high permission. Just like you, it's okay to be a little lower... Although you broke our 'precious objects,' we are guests after all, and it's not good to keep asking for things. It makes us seem too materialistic."

"???"

The small cube flying around in the air solidified again.

A’Fu's voice was strange: "The second compensation you want is the permission of the 'Initial'?"

"Well..."

Gu Shen smiled and said, "You are the 'Initial's' housekeeper. You always have the right to stop our violations of the Initial. This request shouldn't be too much, right?"

Honestly.

This request was not too much.

But A’Fu suddenly felt the pressure... After changing people, it clearly felt that its "opponent's" level had improved a lot.

Permission, this ethereal thing, was much more useful than "black silver" and "Red Shadow," these visible and tangible resources!

Giving Gu Shen and Gu Xiaoman permission meant that they could freely enter and exit every corner of the Initial.

"I know what you're hesitating about."

Seeing that A’Fu didn't respond, Gu Shen chose to strike while the iron was hot. He said slowly, "You are worried that I will do something bad."

A’Fu replied sincerely: "Yes..."

"Don't worry... If I wanted to do something bad, I would have done it long ago, wouldn't I?"

Although Gu Shen didn't know why A’Fu would give himself such a high evaluation.

But he was very clear.

Now was the best time to seize the previous evaluation and complete this negotiation.

Gu Shen reached out and patted the small cube. "This second request is that you and I each take a step back. You give me the qualification to be a guest so that I can admire the traces left by the great master of the Initial... Think carefully. Among those guys who have entered the Initial, is there any memory of the legendary 'God of Smelting and Craftsman'?"

"Ah... this?!"

A’Fu was stunned for a second.

It had read a lot of transcendents’ memories.

But indeed, it hadn't seen any traces left by the master.

"There are three kinds of death. A heart stopping beating and relatives attending a funeral are not the real deaths..."

Gu Shen said in a low voice, "For a great existence like your master, the real death is being forgotten. You don't want him to be forgotten by the world, do you?"

A’Fu looked at Gu Shen blankly.

"I can promise you that when I return to the Five Continents... I will record everything about your master in the history books."

"One day in the future, everyone will know that there was such a great existence who led civilization in resistance."

Gu Shen said seriously, "This is the original intention of my second request. Do you think... is this request too much?"

Gu Xiaoman was stunned.

She had never thought that this small negotiation could be elevated to such a height.

Her small heart felt a great shock.

After a moment, A’Fu's voice rang out in the bronze hall, low and powerful.

It gave Gu Shen ten thousand points of affirmation.

"This request is not too much!"
