Chapter 885: Chapter 885: A Plot from a Higher Plane
Quickly, there was news from La Sike’s side, "Give this to him."
Along with it, an item was sent over.
Ye Jiu took out the item without even looking at it and gave it directly to Qiuyi.
After a short delay, Qiuyi sent a message back, "Thank you. As a token of gratitude, let me give you a warning. No matter how tempting it may seem, never trade with robots. Alright, I have to continue escaping. If I manage to escape alive, I will contact you again. If I’m caught, this trading device will end up in the robots’ hands. Remember, never trade with robots."
Qiuyi’s words were cryptic and Ye Jiu couldn’t understand them, but there was one thing she did grasp: never trade with robots.
From that sentence, Ye Jiu suddenly sensed a great conspiracy, but she couldn’t quite understand it.
So, she turned to La Sike and relayed Qiuyi’s words to him verbatim.
It was a long while before La Sike replied, "Actually, I’ve been researching this trading device for years on this side, and I’ve discovered that this device is actually deployed by other advanced civilizations across various worlds. Moreover, the trading device contains spatial configurations that we cannot study here.
So, I speculate there are two possibilities.
One possibility is that other advanced civilizations devised this trading device, then deployed it in various worlds to connect different worlds, making it easier to access items from other worlds, which is beneficial for all worlds.
But there’s another possibility, which is that an advanced plane deploys the trading device in other worlds to lure people from other worlds into making trades, using the traded items to pinpoint the location of a world, thus achieving the goal of invasion."
La Sike: "From Qiuyi’s warning, I speculate that the second possibility is more likely."
Upon hearing La Sike’s words, Ye Jiu was filled with dread, "Then isn’t the world I’m in extremely dangerous?"
La Sike: "Have you ever traded with robots?"
Ye Jiu: "No, you once said that trading with people from high-tech planes could easily get one’s location tracked, so I haven’t dared to trade with anyone but you."
After sending the message, Ye Jiu suddenly remembered, "Wait, I just gave the item you sent over to Qiuyi. I wonder if that counts?"
La Sike: "That’s fine, as long as you remember never to accept items from them."
Ye Jiu breathed a sigh of relief, patting her chest, "Phew, thankfully, I’m still safe here."
La Sike: "You may be safe, but I’m afraid there’s danger on my end."
Ye Jiu: "Why?"
La Sike: "Do you remember I told you before that I connected to a more advanced plane? It was after trading with this plane that I began to suspect that the plane trading device was a conspiracy by advanced planes to invade other worlds."
Ye Jiu: "What should we do? Will there be any danger on your side?"
La Sike: "Luckily, not for now. Plane jumping is not that easy to execute. Among so many worlds, even if they decide to invade, they’ll definitely pick worlds that benefit them greatly. Even if I’m unlucky and chosen as an invasion target, it would take at least decades, if not a century, for them to invade here. I will report this matter tomorrow and request that the empire takes it seriously."
Ye Jiu finally breathed a slight sigh of relief. There are still decades left; who knows if La Sike’s side can resolve it.
Indeed, there are no windfall gains in this world. Everything is just a conspiracy.
