Chapter 188: Chapter 189 Beggar Zhang Yuan

While he could still converse with the other party, Zhang Yuan pondered for a while and then asked, “Is that Four-dimensional Life still trapped there, or have you captured it? Its threat to us is really too great…”

[The Four-dimensional Life Form coded Zero-XZ is currently incarcerated.]

So, that guy was called Zero-XZ?

“Then, what about my companions… There should be two other humans like me, still trapped in the high-dimensional prison,” he recalled the two soldiers.

[The Biological entities coded MA9865DF and MA98FGDF died due to delayed rescue.]

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan just sighed in his heart.

He couldn’t blame anyone else; after all, just being alive himself was extremely lucky… He surely couldn’t blame the Alien Civilization for not saving lives.

“It could also be possible that the two soldiers moved recklessly in high-dimensional space, accidentally touching their own organs, leading to their sudden death. Sigh…”

However, soon, Zhang Yuan’s mind was racing again…

At the brink of death, he had encountered what seemed to be a relatively friendly advanced civilization. Although he couldn’t determine whether they were Artificial Intelligence or actual Biological entities, they seemed fairly good-tempered…

Even though he had always remained in this small space, not knowing what was happening outside, he still had some vague guesses.

Zhang Yuan was wracking his brains to use this information to seek some advantages for himself, or perhaps for Humanity!

[We will soon return you to your Mother Ship, please wait a few minutes…]

Zhang Yuan licked his dry lips, his heart rate beginning to increase.

He deeply knew that if he missed this chance, he might never again have the opportunity to interact with such a superior civilization… Humanity would remain just ordinary humans, without any change.

But in the world, there is no love without reason; they were probably just being polite out of habit. Just like a normal person rescuing ants about to drown with a leaf, merely out of habitual kindness.

But if the ant doesn’t understand and climbs the arm instead, then it can only be flicked into the gutter…

Zhang Yuan suddenly asked, “May I know the name of your civilization?”

[I am Gaia Civilization—η high-dimensional prison Manager, Artificial Intelligence Yita.]

Gaia Civilization’s Artificial Intelligence…

Zhang Yuan mustered his courage, “Respected Yita… Lord, I would like to ask if there isn’t some kind of substantial reward for helping you capture Zero-XY?”

As he spoke, his breathing became rapid, even though he couldn’t feel his body at that moment, he still experienced the same feelings.

This was an instinctive physiological response to facing an unknown entity; Zhang Yuan wasn’t a trained spy but just a scientist.

As expected, the other party remained silent and did not immediately reply.

Time passed by second after second, and Zhang Yuan grew more anxious.

He mourned in his heart, “Oh, Humanity, try harder!”

“If our civilization was strong enough, why would I risk my life here, begging from other civilizations?”

“How is this different from begging?”

He slowly calmed his spirit.

But if begging could make them stronger, what’s the harm in begging?

The other party replied: [What kind of reward do you need? I think the High-dimensional Fragment D3M4N6 left for you should be enough for your civilization to explore.]

“You must know, when dealing with civilizations with huge age gaps, any inspiration derived from higher technology progressively increases in marginal effects.”

“No… Lord Yita, the High-dimensional Fragment is too advanced technologically for us, it’s actually of little use,” Zhang Yuan cautiously said. “You can take that piece of High-dimensional Fragment back and provide us with more basic technology… We would be extremely grateful for your gift.”

Zhang Yuan was gambling!

He was betting that the other party didn’t care much about the High-dimensional Fragment and wouldn’t bother to reclaim it.

Or rather, that the cost of reclaim was too high!

Although the High-dimensional Fragment could be used for space travel, the Fragment itself couldn’t travel through space. It was like a door, through which people could move back and forth, but the door itself surely couldn’t cross through itself.

This was a matter of logic!

Zhang Yuan believed that even if a civilization was highly advanced, its technology had developed to the extreme, it still could not reverse the entire logic, otherwise the world would become incomprehensible!

According to the previous message that prompted him to use the Amoeba Civilization’s fleet to return to Earth, this space travel was not random; it likely required a high cost or a High-dimensional Fragment as a projection point.

Thus, he was gambling that the other party wouldn’t be interested in coming over from afar just to recover this broken thing in exchange for greater benefits.

“… Our civilization has a hard time surviving, a small disaster could wipe out our entire population. For instance, that Zero—XY easily took control of our computers and accessed a massive amount of our confidential information.”

“But for you, any little help might make our lives a little better, might save us from taking some wrong turns…” Zhang Yuan started to plead, forcing himself to sound pathetic, “Our lifespans are very short, only lasting about a hundred years…”

“Our science is far behind, we don’t even know what you mean by Miao Space…”

“Too greedy!”

Lord Yita felt a bit annoyed inside. As a highly intelligent Artificial Intelligence, it had easily seen through Zhang Yuan’s little tricks.

It could even directly read his thoughts.

However, it refrained from doing so due to its good personal principles…

Yet, the other side seemed correct. Based on this Biological entity’s level of intelligence, the probability of unraveling the mysteries of high-dimensional space was less than 0.02 percent.

That said, the High-dimensional Fragment really wasn’t of much use, and might even pose certain risks…

As a higher intelligence, Yita possessed strong self-awareness along with its own unique personal emotions and ethical standards.

Due to a quirky tendency of the Creator Gaia Civilization, it even experienced a slight fear of social interactions, otherwise it wouldn’t stay in this forsaken place, refusing to leave even if the Supernova exploded…

After thinking for a while, it spoke, “As an additional reward, I can grant you 500 AmiBa Points, which you can use in any Amoeba Civilization’s trade market.”

“As for the D3M4N6 High-dimensional Fragment, your civilization can continue to study it or discard it, but please do not hastily enter it again. Without the protection of the η high-dimensional prison, three-dimensional materials will not survive in the High-dimensional World.”

500… AmiBa Points?

Perhaps it was a universal currency in interstellar civilizations?

Zhang Yuan had no idea of the value or purchasing power of 500 AmiBa Points. But currently, Humans didn’t even have the capability of interstellar voyages… even if it were worth an entire Universe, it would be of no use.

Holding the belief that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, he tentatively said, “Respected Lord Yita, AmiBa Points are still of little use to us…”

“Perhaps, you could give us this computer; that would be the greatest reward for us.”

Zhang Yuan’s goal was… this very computer he was using!

This was the only piece of technology he could access. As for things like scientific papers, he decided not to consider them for now, to avoid asking more questions and irritating the other party…
