Li Yao opened his hands and showed that he meant no harm to them, before he said calmly, "It's true that I came from space, but I did not come here on purpose; I was forced to land on Iron Plateau due to an accident. I want to leave Iron Plateau as soon as possible, too. Therefore, I would like to make a deal with you.
"I need a maintenance workshop with furnaces. It doesn't matter whether the furnaces are advanced or not, as I will modify them myself.
"Other than that, I need some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and super alloys. If you don't have alloys, common metals will do. I can purify and merge them myself.
"If you have starships that can sail across space zones, I'm hoping that I can borrow one, too.
"Stop glaring at me so much. Since this is a deal, I will not use your stuff without offering anything in return.
Although "qi" has multiple meanings, it can be understood as "spiritual gas" in the recent chapters. Translating the natives of Iron Plateau as "spiritual gas trainers" sounds… weird.
