Chapter 132: Asking for a Sky-high Price and Dropping It

As if sensing Wang Xiao’s hesitation, Lin Xiang chuckled and refilled his teacup. He casually placed it by the coffee table. “Mr. Wang, take this new mystic realm for example…”

When Wang Xiao looked over, Lin Xiang stretched out his finger and tapped the water gently. Then, he hissed as if he had been scalded.

“This tea is very hot. Ordinary people will definitely be scalded if they drink it, but can we deny the value of this tea because of this?”

Lin Xiang looked at Wang Xiao and picked up the teacup. He took a big sip from the edge of the cup and revealed a satisfied expression. “As long as you master the method to fight for it, you can taste the sweetness behind the danger. But if

I give up directly—”

At this point, Lin Xiang suddenly let go of his finger. The teacup fell to the ground and shattered, and the tea inside splashed everywhere.

Although Lin Xiang didn’t finish his sentence, his meaning was obvious.

“… Actually, you don’t have to act like this.”

Wang Xiao hesitated with a strange expression and said, “I didn’t say I wouldn’t do it.”

An awkward expression flashed across Lin Xiang’s face. He looked at the teacup with heartache and took out another teacup from somewhere. He poured some water and raised it to cover his face. “So… you agree?”

Wang Xiao was not in a hurry to express his stance. After hesitating for a moment, he asked softly, “Are you sure this is really not illegal?”

“This is at most a ‘gray area’.”

Lin Xiang put down his teacup and said firmly, “Think about it—if the military decides to seal the secret realms, those secret realms will be abandoned. We’ll take the risk to explore them ourselves. Life and death are up to fate. What’s wrong with that?”

“Moreover, these resources are basically all placed in the market of the Blue Planet. If we hadn’t been doing such things, do you think the Blue Planet would still have so many resources now?”

Wang Xiao nodded secretly when he heard this because this was also one of his doubts in the past.

Now, there were fewer and fewer secret realms to explore on the Blue Planet, but the various resources in the market were relatively stable.

Wang Xiao knew that there was no such thing as creating something out of nothing in the world, but he did not expect the Lord’s Shop to have been using this method to maintain it.

In that case, the officials might not be completely ignorant about this. Otherwise, why would the Lord’s Shop have the [Secret Realm Locator] that was strictly controlled by the military?

Lin Xiang did not know what Wang Xiao was thinking. He paused for a moment and continued, “Moreover, we’re actually just preparing for a rainy day by releasing the locator. We would only secretly enter if the military sealed the new secret realm. However, isn’t there still a possibility for the military to open

“If the military feels that it’s better to open it in the end, it’s also fair for us to go in and explore. However, we have our own teleportation gate. It’s more convenient in terms of time and number of people.”

“It sounds pretty good..

Wang Xiao nodded thoughtfully. His intuition told him that there was a debt to be settled!

Although exploring a new secret realm was very risky, it was also accompanied

DY nuge opportunities.

Just like the few times Wang Xiao had obtained a large number of rare resources, if not for the high -level mutated beasts, he would probably have died long ago!

However, accepting this job was one thing. He still had to consider what to do to obtain greater benefits.

“Actually, about this…”

Wang Xiao dragged out his words and Lin Xiang immediately perked up.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xiao did not say anything else. He picked up the teacup and slowly took a few sips. When Lin Xiang was about to lose his patience, he put down the teacup and said indifferently, “I can join you and do it together without asking for a single cent.” “You don’t want money?”

Lin Xiang was stunned.

Before he could figure out what was going on, he heard Wang Xiao change his tone. “However, I want twenty percent for all the secret realms you privately mine!”

“Twenty percent?”

Lin Xiang was stunned again. Then, he burst out laughing. “Mr. Wang, I know it’s rude to say this, but I still want to ask—are you crazy? Do you know how many secret realms we control? Do you know how much twenty percent is?”

Seeing Lin Xiang’s reaction, the corners of Wang Xiao’s mouth unconsciously curled up. He had long known that Lin Xiang would not agree, so he deliberately asked for an exorbitant price.

He would ask for a sky-high price and then drop it.

A gentleman once said that when you felt that the room was too dark and wanted to open a window on the wall, someone would definitely disagree.

Therefore, you could not directly say that you wanted to open the window. If you said that you wanted to tear down the roof, someone would come out to mediate. At this time, if you said that you wanted to open the window, they would naturally agree.

“Mr. Zhou, please bless me!”

Wang Xiao thought to himself, but a hesitant expression appeared on his face. After a while, he said, “How about this? I still don’t want money, but I want to enter the secret realm through your teleportation door when I need it.”

“I think you’re really crazy!”

Lin Xiang widened his eyes in shock. “Do you know that the dangers in those secret realms are all top-notch combat strength of the corresponding level? Even if it’s only a [small secret realm], we still have to find level five or even level six lords to explore it.”

“I know.”

Wang Xiao nodded. “So, do you agree?”

Lin Xiang was momentarily stunned. After half a minute, he waved his hand helplessly. “Mr. Wang, as the manager, I shouldn’t say such things. However, as a friend, I want to advise you. You’ve just advanced to a level three lord. Don’t be too rash!”

“So you don’t agree?”

Wang Xiao asked in return. Seeing Lin Xiang nod, he directly threw the locator on the table. “Then find someone else!”

“Hehe…

Lin Xiang smiled bitterly. “Mr. Wang, are you mistaken? When we didn’t know each other in the past, this kind of thing happened a lot…”

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xiang saw Wang Xiao take out his communicator. “Mr. Wang, what are you doing?”

“It’s fine. Go ahead.”

Wang Xiao smiled. “He’s Commander Chen Jinrong’s adjutant. He was injured because of me a few days ago, so I want to express my condolences.”

Before Lin Xiang could heave a sigh of relief, he heard Wang Xiao continue, “At the same time, I’ll tell him to tell the team exploring the secret realm to be more vigilant in the next few days.”

Lin Xiang’s face instantly turned green. Because new [Large Mystic Realm] rarely appeared, the higher-ups of the Lord’s Shop attached great importance to this operation.

If he could not successfully rope in Wang Xiao, Lin Xiang would at most be scolded by his superior. However, if the other party ruined this operation, it would probably be a light punishment for them to fire him!

“Don’t! Let’s talk again!”

Lin Xiang hurriedly raised his hand to stop her. “As long as you keep it a secret, I agree to open a back door for you, okay?”

“Really?”

Wang Xiao raised his eyebrows and gently rubbed his thumb on the dial button. “But what if you go back on your word?”

Lin Xiang immediately took out a [Contract Scroll] and picked up a broken porcelain piece from the ground. Without another word, he cut his finger and dripped his blood on it.

Wang Xiao checked and confirmed that there were no mistakes. He also dripped his blood on it and smiled brightly at Lin Xiang.. “I wish us a happy cooperation in advance!”
