Chapter 958

On the third day after Gu Ding and the others returned to Gonghe, Liliath and the others also returned from the secret realm.

Seeing that Tagore and Bru were not around, Gu Ding only asked a few simple questions and did not probe further.

Knowing that Liliath and the others had returned, Baroklov immediately called Gu Ding and the others to the conference hall.

"Tagore and Bru stayed in the secret realm? In other words, they're not going to participate in the Genius Screening Competition? "Baroklov asked when he heard the news.

"That's right, they're not going to participate in the Genius Screening Competition."

Gu Ding had stayed in Gonghe for a few days and learned about the quota. Originally, even if Tagore and Bru returned from the secret realm, he was going to persuade them to give up on the Genius Screening Competition. Now, it seemed that there was no need for that.

"There are still eighty-five days before the Genius Screening Competition begins. Auctions around the world have begun to enter the final stage of the auction in recent months, and the real treasures will slowly appear. I've asked around for the things you want, but I haven't heard of any auction that has the Origin Tinder and the Heart of Life on the list. As for the Noah's Cube, we found it six months ago, and your friend has successfully collected it … "

Baroklov looked at Robert as he spoke.

"Robert, have you collected the Noah's Cube?" Gu Ding frowned slightly and looked at Robert.

Once he refined the Noah's Cube, Robert's evolution direction would be completely in the direction of a mechanical life, and it would be irreversible.

"I've collected it, but I haven't refined it yet. I was going to tell everyone about it when we got together," Robert nodded. "Actually, I know very well that you and Neptune want me to evolve in the direction of a human. However, for me, both paths are optional, and I don't prefer either. On the contrary, for the entire team, it would be more beneficial for me to evolve in the direction of a mechanical life. My combat effectiveness would be stronger, and I would be more efficient without the emotional thinking of a human. Besides, the Genius Screening Competition is about to begin, and my combat effectiveness has become a burden to everyone. I don't have any more time … "

"But Robert …" Neptune still wanted to say something to persuade Robert, but Gu Ding stopped him.

"Alright, Sea Emperor, there's no need to say anymore. I respect Robert's choice, but Robert, give us another two months. If we still can't find the Origin Tinder or the Heart of Life in these last two months, I won't stop you from refining the Noah's Magic Cube. "Gu Ding did not force Robert to make a choice.

"I can wait for another two months." Robert agreed without hesitation. Although he did not care which energy source he used, he did not want to disappoint Gu Ding and the others.

When Baroklov heard this, he finally understood. It turned out that the beauty in front of him was actually not a human, but a Machine. Although there were not many members of the Mechanical Race in the high-level planes, Baroklov had heard some information about the Mechanical Race as the Head of the Human Race. He finally understood why Gu Ding and the others needed a mutant energy source like the Noah's Cube.

"Mr. Baroque, could you send us a copy of the auction list?" Gu Ding immediately turned around and asked.

"I'll send it to you right away!" Baroklov forwarded the list to Gu Ding.

After receiving the list, Gu Ding immediately looked at Neptune. "Take a look at the list, then check the information of these Chambers of Commerce. Find the contact information of the person in charge. Get Faust to call them and see if he can get his hands on the Origin Tinder or the Heart of Life. "

Neptune immediately got to work on this matter.

"Faust, see if you can get the auction list from the Chambers of Commerce that is not on the public list. Also, ask the largest Chambers of Commerce if they have the two things we want. We can buy them at a high price. "

"In addition to the Chambers of Commerce, Neptune, contact the intelligence agencies of the major forces. Spend some money to put the purchase request for the Origin Tinder and the Heart of Life on the front page of the intelligence agencies. See if they can provide us with any useful information. "

"Miko, you're in charge of giving them ideas. If there's anything that I've missed, you can add to it. If you have any good ideas, you can bring them up. If you need any help from others, you can ask them directly. "

Gu Ding quickly made a series of arrangements. He did not want Robert to completely become a real Mechanical Life and lose all emotions.

"We'll do our best to procure the items." Naturally, Miko Ko knew that Gu Ding had a strong desire to complete this task.

"In that case, I'll try not to disturb you for the next few months. If there's any news, I'll inform you immediately." Baroklov was also very self-aware.

"Thank you, Sir Speaker." Gu Ding bowed slightly and led everyone out of the conference hall.

After watching Gu Ding and the others leave, Baroklov immediately dialed a number on his communicator.

"In that case, the six spots for the last twenty people can be changed to eight. The eight people with the highest accumulated points will participate in the Monster Screening Competition! "

…

After leaving the conference hall, Gu Ding and the others returned to the hotel that Baroklov had arranged for them.

Robert stood at the edge of the balcony of the room, leaning against the railing and looking up at the sky with a thoughtful expression.

"What are you thinking about?"

A voice pulled her gaze back from the sky. Neptune walked to her left with a drink in his hand.

"Actually, I don't understand why you and the captain are so insistent on me evolving in the direction of a human." Robert said what puzzled him. "In terms of efficiency, isn't it easier for me to directly refine the Noah's Rubik's Cube that I already have? Why waste more time and energy looking for the Origin Tinder and the Heart of Life?! "

"You're right. In terms of efficiency, directly refining the Noah's Rubik's Cube is indeed the fastest way to increase your combat effectiveness." Neptune nodded and smiled. "Before I became a human, I would have made the same decision. However, I can still clearly remember the joy in my heart the moment I became a human. Human emotions are a great asset to me. It feels like the world I saw before was black and white, but after I became a human, everything became colorful … If you really evolve in the direction of machinery, there will be a day when you will miss all the emotions you had before, happiness, sadness, and even anger … Because of the existence of these things, our lives are more colorful. "

"Perhaps …" Robert did not say anything else. Instead, he looked up at the sky again …
