Ji You said this, her eyes fixed dazedly on the wall of the passage outside. Then, as she turned her head slightly, she discovered that not only she, but also Chu Jiaojiao, Yue Qiyuan... even Senior He Bi, were drooling helplessly.
Ji You swallowed a bit, and with some difficulty, said, "Th-this thing must be really valuable, right? Right? Right?"
"Nonsense!" He Bi slapped the wall of the spaceship, raised his hand to wipe the drool from his mouth, and said, "If this thing isn't valuable, I'll twist my head off and give it to you!"
But just a second later, He Bi coughed slightly and said, "But I must tell you, we don't know how much this thing is worth. However, you must know this—it is worth a lot of money, and it's also worth lives!"
"So..." He Bi looked askew at Ji You and Chu Jiaojiao and the others, and said, "How many lives do you have to waste?"
A silence fell over the scene.
