Dimensional Invasion: I Can Fish for All Heavens

Chapter 200 The Value of Immortality: A Celestial Treasure Enough to Change the Strategic Landscape

The member who was reporting hesitated before speaking.

In fact, he also found a detail in the information: Lin Xiu was once the president of the tennis club at Yun Chuan University, but he gave up tennis and switched to swordsmanship after the spiritual energy revival.

The radiance emanating from Lin Xiu in the video is very similar to the "Selfless Realm" in the anime Prince of Tennis; the method of forcibly controlling the mutated creatures to approach is also exactly the same as "Tezuka Domain".

The other party may have inherited the legacy of a character from The Prince of Tennis.

But then he thought again, the Prince of Tennis is just a sports anime about playing tennis. Even if the special effects are a bit exaggerated, it wouldn't be this outrageous in reality.

I think I must be overthinking it.

So he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

"Once this spiritual energy tide ends, I will personally visit this student Lin."

Lin Tianshan was immersed in the joy of discovering a local genius, unaware that an even greater surprise awaited him.

"Director!"

A member of the Tian Shu Bureau, who was in charge of answering the public hotline, rushed over, his face filled with unbelievable excitement.

"We have received a report that someone has obtained the Stone Mask from the JOJO world, and it has been confirmed to be a true treasure of the heavens! Moreover, just like in the anime, this Stone Mask has no limit on the number of times it can be used. Wearing it will turn you into a vampire, granting you physical abilities far exceeding those of humans and an immortal lifespan!"

"Although it requires the absorption of blood, they have tried and found that the blood of mutated organisms can meet the needs, and even only 300 milliliters a day is needed to maintain the body, and the sense of taste is not affected."

"Although human food cannot provide nutrition, we can still enjoy food."

"The only drawback is that he is afraid of sunlight, but compared to the benefits of becoming a vampire, this flaw is nothing, Chief."

Lin Tianshan looked completely bewildered.

"Vampires? What vampires? And what is JOJO?"

Seeing his subordinates' excitement, he knew it must be a good thing, but there were just too many works created by humans. Even if the Tian Shu Bureau required everyone to watch two hours of anime every day, he couldn't possibly know them all.

At this moment, the deputy director, seemingly noticing Lin Tianshan's confusion, added:

"Chief, the Stone Mask is a tool in the JOJO world that can turn humans into vampires. These vampires are basically no different from the vampires we know in the traditional sense. They can have an immortal lifespan and physical qualities that are beyond human limits. They also need to absorb blood and are afraid of sunlight."

"However, as you just heard, the other party has tried it, and the blood of mutated creatures can also meet their needs, and the amount needed is very small; the only drawback is that they are afraid of sunlight."

"The Stone Mask itself has no usage restrictions. Anyone who wears it and smears blood on the mask can activate its effects and transform into a vampire. There are no limits on the number of uses, so it can be used on a large scale."

The deputy director didn't actually say anything, but simply repeated what the member had said to Lin Tianshan in a slower voice.

Since the content had already been explained in enough detail, there was no need to say anything more. Lin Tian was only a little confused because he was speaking too fast and he didn't understand the Stone Mask's abilities.

Now, after the deputy director repeated it, he fully understood the function of the Stone Mask and its strategic value.

A celestial treasure that can be used an unlimited number of times, requiring only 300 milliliters of mutated creature's blood per day, and possessing an immortal body far exceeding the limits of the human body.
Although it has a fear of sunlight, it has no problem moving around in the dark.

They can take advantage of this to train a large number of powerful warriors.

It's not just the Tian Shu Bureau of Yun Chuan City; the entire Great Xia can rely on the "Stone Ghost Face" to ensure the absolute safety of the city at night.

Lin Tianshan's breathing became rapid instantly. The shock he felt at this moment was even stronger than when he discovered Lin Xiu.

Countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant: if one-third of the warriors of the Tian Shu Bureau were transformed into vampires, they could form an undead legion that was almost invincible in the dark of night; the remaining two-thirds would be responsible for defense during the day.

But he quickly suppressed the impulse.

Vampires are not human after all.
The strategic value of the Stone Mask is undeniable, but the number of transformations must be carefully controlled. The specific implementation plan needs further discussion and research and experimentation on the vampires transformed from the Stone Mask. A hasty decision must not be made.

However, one thing is certain: the significance of this treasure of the heavens to the Great Xia Dynasty is no less than the appearance of a fifth or even sixth-order powerhouse.

What conditions did the other party propose?

Lin Tianshan composed himself and asked the member who had reported.

Although this thought was somewhat inappropriate, he was certain that the other party would not hand over such precious treasures of the heavens for free.

Even if it were him, he wouldn't just hand over everything without asking for anything in return.

However, it doesn't matter. As long as they don't demand treasures of equal value, which they can't provide anyway, the Heavenly Pivot Bureau will try its best to satisfy any remaining needs, whether it's wealth, power, or cultivation resources.

"They said they could rent it to us for 500 million yuan a year, with the lease term to be determined by us; we can just return it when we no longer need it."

The member of the Tian Shu Bureau who was reporting quickly said.

"However, there is a condition: their family and friends can use it first without any conditions, so we hope to have ten usage slots every year."

"Gone?"

Lin Tianshan was still waiting for the other party to continue.

"No, that's all."

The members of the Tian Shu Bureau nodded affirmatively.

"."

Lin Tianshan was momentarily speechless, the conditions were so simple.

A rent of five million a year, with the rental period entirely up to them, is practically free.
Shouldn't normal people be charged per "session"?
Don't they know the value represented by the words "immortality"? As for letting their relatives and friends use it, it's perfectly reasonable. Besides, the item originally belonged to them, so it's perfectly normal for them to let their relatives and friends use it.

The key point is that they actually set a limit on the number of spots, even limiting it to just ten.

"Wait, how many people are you referring to as 'they'?"

Lin Tianshan suddenly realized something and hurriedly asked.

If there are too many people, ten slots per person per year would be too many.
"Two people."

The members of the Tian Shu Bureau looked on with envy.

“They were roommates. Although one of them discovered the Stone Mask, they had made a pact to ‘share the wealth and honor’, so they shared it.”

Lin Tianshan was immediately filled with respect.

Two young people, only asking for five million in rent per year, or even five million each per year; and the combined number of spots they requested was only twenty per year.
This isn't negotiation; it's clearly charity work!
"Good children are all good children!"

He was overwhelmed with emotion, and his eyes even welled up with tears.
In this era where profit is paramount, to encounter such a young person with a heart for the country is truly a blessing for Yunnan and a boon for the Great Xia.

He agreed immediately.

Tell them we fully agree to this condition!

"Tell them to stay put at their lodgings and make sure they and Stone Mask are safe. We'll send someone to retrieve them immediately!"

Although the beast tide has not been completely resolved yet, it is only a matter of time. They have already gained an absolute advantage. Moreover, facing a treasure like the Stone Demon Mask, which is capable of changing the strategic landscape, they must obtain it as soon as possible to prevent any unexpected events from occurring.

He was even preparing to call Wang Shouguo, the director of the Tian Shu Bureau in the capital.

While it's not advisable to report to higher levels without proper authorization, that applies to other departments. The Tian Shu Bureau doesn't adhere to this rule. Any branch director of the Tian Shu Bureau can directly contact Wang Shouguo if they encounter a problem.

Members of the Tian Shu Bureau in various regions can also contact their respective bureau chiefs.

"Yes!"

Meanwhile, in an apartment near Yunchuan University.

Li Mo and Zhao Mingyang were sitting cross-legged on the bed, discussing whether their demands were too much.

"Five million a year shouldn't be considered expensive, right?"

Zhao Mingyang's tone was somewhat hesitant.

"After all, the Stone Mask is such a treasure that the fact that it grants immortality is enough to make the wealthy fight tooth and nail for it."

Li Mo nodded.

"The main issue is the ten slots per person; since we are immortal now, ten slots a year would amount to a thousand in a hundred years, and even with our parents, relatives, and friends all together, we wouldn't need that many."

"The main concern is that money might not be worth as much in the future. For example, one hundred dollars twenty years ago and one hundred dollars now have completely different meanings. We are all immortal, so what if one day five million dollars is only worth one million dollars now, or even less?"

"At that point, we'll have no choice but to sell spots to make a living."

Although normally, if one is immortal and can succeed at anything over a long period of time, as someone who has experienced the hardships of "making money is hard and eating shit is hard", he just wants to use money to enjoy life.

What kind of life does he enjoy? It's definitely spending each day the way he wants.

He doesn't know what he'll think about the future, but right now, not having to work is the best enjoyment for him.

“The Tian Shu Bureau can definitely guess what we’re thinking, but there are only twenty spots a year, so it shouldn’t be a big deal for them.”

Zhao Mingyang nodded.

However, I was still thinking about a stable annual income of 250 million, which is equivalent to more than 20 per month, or nearly 7000 per day.

His earnings in one day were more than he had earned in the entire month before his spiritual energy revival.

How will he spend it then?
In fact, they all knew the value of the Stone Ghost Mask, and they also knew that even if they asked for "one hundred million per year, one hundred million per person", the Tian Shu Bureau would give it to them. But perhaps because of their limited perspective, or perhaps because they felt that they could not spend that much money, even if they were given this opportunity, they did not think of asking for an exorbitant amount.

Five million was the final decision they made after discussions.

No more, there's no need.

If you really feel you don't have enough in the future, you can sell your spot. It's impossible for everyone to live forever in the future, right?

"Ding dong."

The phone rang, and Zhao Mingyang answered it immediately.

"You're coming to find us right away, right?"

"Ok."

"Yes, we will protect ourselves and Stone Mask, don't worry."

After Zhao Mingyang finished speaking, he hung up the phone and then smiled at Li Mo.

"They agreed."

"Send someone to sign a contract with us immediately."
