Chapter 328: Exchange of Originium
"plz follow me."
The steam-propelled machine spoke without any emotion, and finally turned and walked towards a corridor.
Seeing this, Zhang Tuohai hurriedly followed.
The hall is huge and filled with various flowers, plants and trees. It looks like a huge botanical garden.
Walking in the botanical garden, Zhang Tuohai felt a sense of time and space dislocation.
It is incredible that in a post-apocalyptic wasteland world, there is such a huge botanical garden.
Zhang Tuohai followed the steam self-propelled machine through the huge botanical garden and came to a smaller room.
This is a huge study room, surrounded by huge bookcases filled with various books and parchment scrolls.
In the very middle of the room, there is a huge brass coffin. Several metal pipes are connected to this huge coffin, continuously supplying cold air into it, so that the entire coffin seems like ice.
As soon as Zhang Tuohai stepped into the room, the brass coffin slowly stood up.
Through the crystal lid, Zhang Tuohai could see a silver-haired girl lying in the coffin. She looked almost identical to Lilith, and her whole body was wrapped in ice.
However, the right half of her cheek was covered in brass, not the left half like Lilith's.
"Did you bring my sister's handwritten letter?" The girl's eyes were filled with excitement.
"Yes, it's right here." Zhang Tuohai handed the letter left by Lilith to the steam self-propelled machine beside him.
The steam-powered machine took the letter, held it in front of the girl and unfolded it.
"Yes, this is it. The secret code above is correct. It was left by my sister." The girl looked very excited.
"My sister..." The girl turned and looked at Zhang Tuohai.
"I'm sorry, but she has jumped into the Holy Mountain and detonated it. Now, the whole world is in doomsday."
Zhang Tuohai said.
"I can imagine that this is my sister's ultimate wish, and now, she has finally got what she wanted."
The girl sighed.
"Please accept my condolences." Zhang Tuohai said.
"I had anticipated that this day would come, and I was mentally prepared for it."
The girl said.
"Thank you very much for bringing my sister's letter. What is your purpose here?"
The girl asked.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's Originium, right?"
"Yes, I want to get a piece of source stone." Zhang Tuohai nodded and admitted his idea.
Ever since seeing Lilith use Originium to detonate the Holy Mountain, Zhang Tuohai has been fascinated by the enormous power of Originium.
If he could also obtain a source stone, he would have a trump card that could turn the table at any time.
The reason why he traveled thousands of miles to come here, in addition to avoiding the doomsday disaster, the most important purpose was to get a piece of source stone.
"Originium? As expected." The girl showed an expression of as expected.
"I do have Originium, but have you thought of what to exchange it for?"
As the girl spoke, a secret door on the surface of the brass coffin automatically popped open.
There is a groove inside the secret door, with a source stone embedded in it, which looks exactly the same as Lilith's.
"This Originium is the source of my life. If the supply of Originium is cut off, I may not be able to survive for even a day. What do you think you can bring out to exchange for this Originium?"
"I suggest you change the conditions, such as some of the design drawings left by my sister."
The girl said, "I can make the decision and let you choose any three design drawings to take away."
To be honest, Zhang Tuohai was moved when he heard the girl's words.
Lilith 's design drawings are all excellent, and if he can choose by himself, he is sure that he can improve the combat effectiveness to a higher level, and it is not impossible to even upgrade the car to level 5 in one fell swoop.
However, Zhang Tuohai did not want to miss the power of Originium .
This is something that can save your life or overturn the table at a critical moment. Compared with this, a few drawings seem to be nothing.
However, from what the other party said, this Originium is an important thing to maintain the other party's life. Without the Originium, the other party will die.
Things seem to have come to a dead end.
However, Zhang Tuohai still wanted to give it a try.
"You just said that Originium is the existence that sustains your life, so can you tell me the specific reason? Perhaps, I can help solve this problem."
"You really are not giving up." The girl smiled. "Well, since you brought your sister's letter, it's no big deal to tell you."
"A few years ago, I was seriously injured in an explosion during an experiment. I was on the verge of death. I thought I was going to die, but my sister refused to give up. She obtained two Originium stones and transplanted her body to me. Then she used the energy of the Originium stones to fuse my head with hers, allowing me to survive. However, there was a problem with the treatment. Her body and my head could not fuse, and I could only barely maintain this state."
"Then why not make a steel body?" Zhang Tuohai showed a curious look.
He remembered that Lilith's entire body was made of steel except for half of her head. Wouldn't it be okay if the girl in front of him could also be transformed into this appearance?
"If it were possible, I would have done it long ago," the girl said with a sad look on her face, "but my body cannot connect with steel, so I cannot become like my sister."
"No wonder." Zhang Tuohai showed a look of understanding.
Now, what troubles the girl is the body's rejection reaction. If it were in his world, she would have died long ago. It is only because of the existence of Originium in this world that she can barely survive.
Now the problem comes to the rejection reaction.
If he could eliminate the rejection reaction and allow the girl's body and head to fuse, then the problem would be solved and he could get the Originium.
However, how to eliminate the rejection reaction?
Zhang Tuohai began to think.
Now, he regretted selling the Source of Vampires and the Source of Zombies. These two were both excellent comprehensive recovery potions, and their recovery abilities were not weak. If he gave them to the other party, maybe they could eliminate the rejection reaction.
However, he had already sold it to Li Feiyu, which now seemed like a wrong decision.
He now has a similar medicine in his hand, which is nanomechanical injection.
This thing has similar effects and is even more powerful.
Not only does it not have the negative effects of vampires and zombies, it can also transform humans into mechanical life.
But there is a certain success rate.
This was originally left by Zhang Tuohai to gamble his life when he was seriously injured, but now it seems that it can be used to exchange for Originium.
I just don't know whether the other party is willing.
