I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

Professor Edward was momentarily stunned, understanding the subtext. He smiled and said, "I’m sorry... We have yet to discover such a distinguished individual. Let’s exchange chips then."

"To show sincerity, I can first tell you an important piece of news."

"Please, go ahead." Zhang Hui nodded.

The blond elder explained, "The communicator on the other side is likely damaged... Their screen can’t display anything, nor can it play sounds."

"But its core is actually working normally. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be able to send videos. Therefore, we can use other functions to communicate with them, like a special vibrational channel, for instance."

He paused, "This is a backup special channel that can make the metal ball vibrate. It might still be usable in case the screen is damaged."

"There’s such a function?" Zhang Hui frowned slightly.

"We can demonstrate it to each other."

With a "buzz," the large iron sphere in the room started to vibrate.

It also emitted a "beep" alert, seemingly from some hardware component.

After all, it is a creation of an alien civilization; there is no instruction manual. Humans could only find out what functions it has through trial and error.

The fact that New York City found out this function first is quite normal.

Professor Edward continued, "What do you think, Professor Zhang?"

Zhang Hui was pondering the feasibility of this plan.

Professor Edward added, "To show sincerity, this time the vibration can be initiated by you."

"After all, time runs a hundred times faster for that gentleman; he might hang up the phone at any moment."

"As for the information we want, we’ll trade with each other without harming your interests... What I’m offering now is a free message, and there will be more cooperation in the future, won’t there?"

Professor Edward did not take a high-handed stance.

A method of vibration was not that big of a deal; given some time, Yunhai City would also figure it out on its own. Giving it away was just that, giving it away.

Smart people know that confrontation at this moment brings no benefits, while cooperation is the choice that leads to a win-win situation.

Furthermore, the person who ran off to Pangu Continent was from Yunhai City, and from any perspective, the fact that Yunhai City was one step ahead is just that—a fact!

Meanwhile, Zhang Hui also remained silent in contemplation. New York City indeed had a wealth of talent and excellent laboratory conditions...

Strengthening cooperation between both sides was indeed a wise choice.

...

...

...

Pangu Continent, Meida Civilization.

The machine’s indicator light was on, and the electronic display kept changing the time.

But on the crystal screen, there was still no image being transmitted.

Lu Yuan felt annoyed yet helpless, cursing, "Ah, I knew I shouldn’t have had any expectations!"

But deep inside, he really was full of anticipation...

The wolf pack mistook his call and "whooshed" over, shaking their heads and wagging their large tails, looking incredibly dopey.

A few larger wolves even purposefully whisked their tails over Lu Yuan’s body, as if they were dusting him with a feather duster.

Oh, right, the little wolves too!

During the week Lu Yuan took to recuperate, the she-wolves finally gave birth to their puppies, each mother wolf averaging four little wolves, in no time adding over a dozen bouncy little wolf cubs.

As the "Wolf King," seeing the birth of these little ones, Lu Yuan felt a joyful sense of a bountiful life harvest.

The wolf cubs were cute when they were young, with their tiny arms and legs, and fluffy fur, irresistibly endearing.

This cuteness wasn’t just in their appearance, but also in their naïve, lively nature.

Watching them bite and wrestle each other, Lu Yuan would often reminisce about his own childhood, when he used to beat up his sister, enjoying the sound of her screams. Those were carefree days spent bullying his sister.

"Wang, wang, wang, wang!" A little wolf with a milky voice jumped onto Lu Yuan, playing the flatterer.

Lu Yuan revealed a kindly grandfatherly smile, unable to resist pulling out a small fish treat for the flatterer, "Have a little, go on."

The little wolf cub wagged its tail, its round eyes gleaming, and gobbled up the dried fish.

"Oh no, why did I feed it again!" Lu Yuan smacked his forehead, tempted to pluck the dried fish from the wolf’s mouth.

When he thought of the large army of wild wolves as they grew older, he couldn’t help feeling a headache coming on.

Before the troops set out, provisions must be prepared first, and a wild wolf army certainly looks majestic, but the poor cat litter box cleaner is just one person!

His personal productivity could hardly sustain an exponentially growing pack of wolves.

So, he had to toughen his heart and not care for them!

"Letting nature take its course is the best way!"

"I can’t let them lose their wild instincts," Lu Yuan told himself.

More little wolf cubs gathered around, barking "woof woof woof," hugging Lu Yuan’s legs, wagging their tails, each dog face brimming with enthusiasm.

He suddenly felt surrounded by the buoyancy of youth, very happy indeed.

He quite liked this fluffy feeling.

"Have some, everyone take a bit," Lu Yuan tossed out a handful of dried fish.

And then he regretted it immediately, "Damn it, why did I feed them again. I absolutely mustn’t foster their lazy personalities! They have to learn to be self-reliant!"

After all, Pangu Continent is not Earth, where natural selection and the survival of the fittest, death and reincarnation, are the norms.

He really couldn’t afford to nurture too many; taking care of himself was already good enough.

"You’ve really brought me a lot of trouble, Old Wolf!"

"From now on, you lead them hunting, if you want meat go hunt for it yourselves, stop coming for free meals every day."

It takes a hundred days to recover from a serious injury, and Old Wolf’s wounds still hadn’t fully healed, causing him to limp as he walked.

It whined with a bit of grievance, "Awoo~ Awooo!"

Old Wolf might have been trying to say that wolf packs are matriarchal societies, what does hunting have to do with me, Old Wolf?

You, Old Lu, fed them yourself, what does it have to do with me?

Lu Yuan kicked him without any courtesy.

Really such a scumbag wolf!

In summary, Lu Yuan made up his mind to reduce the food supply for the wolf pack in the future!

Lose the dog’s ways, you lose a lot!

Lose the wolf’s ways, you lose everything!

"Woof woof woof woof~" The little wolf pups gathered around again, and once more, Lu Yuan showed a kindly grandfather’s smile, beginning another round of mental struggle.

He was going crazy; why am I so weak-willed!

"Buzz—Buzzz!!" Suddenly, the large round ball vibrated twice.

Lu Yuan’s pupils slightly contracted as he hurried over to look, overjoyed, "Could it be that humans have finally contacted me?"

The next second, the excitement turned to disappointment; the screen remained dark, and no human voices emerged.

Then, as the ball vibrated, it made a "beep"—a long alert tone.

Lu Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, instinctively feeling something was wrong with the device.

"It’s not going to explode, is it?!"

After all, normal people hearing an alarm and seeing a metal sphere heat up would be on guard.

He hesitated, unsure whether he should try to shut it off...
