In human history, there's an age-old question: whether or not to pay a price in exchange for resources.
For Fu Qian, this is habitually referred to as the sacrifice flow, such as the classic "ten billion in exchange for a deadly snail's pursuit."
The recent exchange appeared somewhat abrupt at first glance.
Professor Fu merely revealed his true purpose, even making it clear that he was treating people as mere materials, without making any threats, and yet Selana agreed immediately.
But that's just at first glance. Anyone with a bit of social experience can understand why Selana conceded so quickly.
She previously had no intention of advancing to the Second Phase, which Fu Qian actually believed.
On one hand, she lacked that ambitious drive; on the other, she witnessed firsthand the tragic results of excessive ambition seen in Ember.
But people's beliefs are influenced by conditions and experiences, essentially the so-called broader environment.
