She said that she wouldn't attack Lin Yi or the people around him without a time limit-Lin Yi didn't believe it, and even she didn't believe it herself.
The time limit of one year actually made his words very convincing. After all, central had indeed suffered a great loss this time. A year's time of rest and recuperation might not even be enough to recover.
Lin Yi was helpless as well-if he could uproot central in one go, he'd kill them all without hesitation, but these guys couldn't be killed. He couldn't go back to Sky Class Island without peace in the mortal world.
It was an acceptable result to be able to hurt Zhong today and make them promise not to go against Lin Yi's people for a while. Time! Not only did central need it, but he also needed it very much!
Lin Yi was still thinking when LAN xiaoru spoke again,"Mr. Lin, you'll probably run into me when you go back to Sky Class Island. I know you have a lot of businesses and close friends there, so if we can't live in peace, it's best if you can appear in many places at the same time like me. You know that there are all sorts of natural disasters everywhere, and you probably can't save everyone by yourself, right?"
"I've said it before. Don't threaten me. It's useless Against Me!" Lin Yi said calmly, but his heart tightened. LAN xiaoru had the cloning technique to create a clone, but he only had one. If the central Chamber of Commerce on Sky Class Island suddenly attacked him, the damage would be devastating.
If it weren't for the elders behind Lin Yi, Central's strength at this stage wasn't something Lin Yi could handle alone.
"Mr. Lin, it's good enough that you're not threatening me. How would I dare to threaten you?" LAN xiaoru said with a smile. As I said before, this is just a statement of fact. "
After a slight pause, LAN xiaoru softened her tone and said,""No matter what, we have lost this time. The information that you have copied from the second base's system can be considered as compensation to you. I will not ask you for it back."
"Hehe ... How generous! To use something that already belongs to us as compensation, you are indeed very sincere!" Lin Yi looked at LAN xiaoru mockingly and said,"Since you know that you've lost this time and have taken the initiative to surrender, if you don't take out some practical benefits, do you believe that I'll just blow up this entire place?"
Base two's facilities were pretty much destroyed, but the overall structure was still there. It was only thirty to forty percent of the total damage, and if Lin Yi really did blow this place up, central would really lose a lot of money.
LAN xiaoru was silent for a moment before she asked,""What do you want? There are only these things here, is there anything that you're interested in?"
Lin Yi scratched his head. Yes, this place was already like this-was there anything of value left? He was just saying it casually, thinking that it would be a loss if he didn't ask for some benefits, but if he really had to ask, he didn't know what conditions to ask for.
The most important thing to central was technology, of course, but all the data in base two had been copied by han Jingjing. He didn't expect central to pay tens of billions of Yuan or something. It was meaningless to Lin Yi.
Han Jingjing, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly said,""Lin Yi bro, I've seen a record in their records, saying that the center found a wormhole tunnel that connected to Sky Class Island. After using technology to improve it, they can send things between each other, but there's no detailed information here."
Lin Yi's eyes lit up.
Back then, he'd bought the right to deliver a letter at an auction and received a reply from the secular world. The central Chamber of Commerce on Sky Class Island had also been constantly selling technology from the secular world, and all of this was probably because of this wormhole tunnel!
What could be more precious than this? Lin Yi couldn't help but get excited."This matter shouldn't be fake, right?"
"That's right," LAN xiaoru admitted."There are so many things from the secular world on the Sky Class Island. I'm sure you've all guessed it. But it's impossible for you to take over this wormhole tunnel!"
Han Jingjing smiled."I know you won't let us monopolize this wormhole tunnel, but it shouldn't be a problem to open up this location and let us participate in the research of the wormhole, right? You have to know that I can return to Sky Class Island at any time, and I can project back to the mortal world at any time. Since I know about this wormhole's existence, do you think I can find its location?"
LAN xiaoru paused, remembering that her threat was a joke. Even if central didn't have to worry about attacking Lin Yi's people, with the genius han Jingjing around, they might not be able to gain the upper hand. Especially with their Yuan Shen traveling back and forth, it seemed to be more convenient than her contacting Sky Class Island. If they really attacked, han Jingjing would completely suppress them in terms of timing.
To be honest, the research on the wormhole pathway was only in its initial stage. If han Jingjing could participate in the research, the progress might be much faster, which was not a bad thing for the center.
"I understand, but I can't make the decision. I need to discuss it with my true body on Sky Class Island. If possible, we'll automatically come to a temporary truce for a year. What do you think?" LAN xiaoru only hesitated for a moment before giving her answer. She didn't agree on the spot, but Lin Yi thought that she was already halfway to success.
"Well, in that case, we'll go back first today. Let us know when you have news!" Lin Yi stood up and was about to leave with han Jingjing and LAN Guzha.
Lin Yi stopped in his tracks when he saw Jianwen and Zhaolong cowering behind the sofa."An Jianwen, remember my words and be good, or you won't be so lucky next time! Also, Zhaolong, stop copying your stupid brother. You won't die if you don't do it, understand?"
If it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't uproot central yet and had to rest for a year, Lin Yi wouldn't let these guys go today, including Xue Jianfeng who was hiding in a corner room. But overall, Lin Yi didn't lose anything these two times, and instead gained a lot of benefits, so it didn't matter if he let them go for now.
This crazy woman, LAN xiaoru, resurrecting endlessly was indeed annoying. Lin Yi wondered if he could get Han Jingjing to think of a way to crack Central's cloning and resurrecting method. Otherwise, there would be no end to it.
