Chapter 273: Chapter 271: Small Win, dium Win, Big Win.
“I am Xu Duojin, sent here on the orders of Mr. Wu. He told
there is an important matter requiring my presence. May I have the permission to enter the room you’re in?”
Standing atop a street lamp, the “Fate Propeller,” an Extraordinary One, touched his hat and gestured slightly towards Colin. Even though there was so distance between them, it seed as if Colin could hear his voice.
But upon closer thought, it was as if he hadn’t heard him, yet if he were to say he hadn’t heard, it felt almost the sa as if he had.
There was an inexplicably mysterious feeling. Colin pondered for a mont and felt that if he had to describe it, it would be akin to hearing.
He guessed it was probably so technique of the “Fate Propeller.”
‘This question seed like a request for opinion, fulfilling so mystic requirent. I feel that if I refused, perhaps he would not truly enter.’
The thought flashed through his mind, but Colin did not rush to agree. He took out his cell phone and, after checking that Old Master Wu had indeed replied with a ssage stating soone would co to retrieve sothing, he then pointed to a sofa in the living room:
“Please, have a seat there.”
“Thank you, please wait a mont,” the visitor said.
Just when Colin thought he would employ so technique to fly straight in.
Colin saw him jump to the ground and then wait for the pedestrian light at the crosswalk, after which he made his way to the building, sohow opened the complex’s gate, and walked in. Soon enough, there was a “thud” at the living room door.
‘Damn it, if you weren’t going to co in directly, what the hell was the point of climbing up that lamppost…’
Colin muttered in his mind, then instructed the Cat Maid to open the door and let Xu Duojin in.
“Mr. Wu is tied up with so matters and thus sent
to speak with you in his stead. Rest assured, from the mont we t, I am under the influence of his power, and the decisions I make are equivalent to his own.”
Equivalent to his own—could it be a power similar to the “Script Book”? Colin rembered that upon his initial return, Old Master Wu had proactively ntioned that he had implanted a “script” into that displaced Eighth Level “Agent.”
The only issue was that the script was poorly written, and the other party realized it imdiately and fled.
‘So, a high-level user of the ‘Book of Fate’ can also use the ‘Script Book’s power to a certain degree? The relationship between these books seems deeper than I thought.’
Colin pondered with intrigue and nodded, “Let’s get straight to the point.”
“This person…” Xu Duojin looked at the cat-eared maid and felt… that she didn’t quite seem human.
But then again, not many of the senior Extraordinary Ones looked human.
“Don’t mind her, just talk,” Colin said, not intending to go into detail about his Nano Maid.
“Alright!” The middle-aged looking Xu Duojin smiled, “Firstly, regarding your proposal of obtaining more points through task-oriented cooperation in exchange for dications, although it differs slightly from our expected exchange, we can accept it.
“Of course, there are so details that should be ntioned, like the extrely difficult side-quests, which we refuse to take part in.”
These past few days, they had roughly understood so of the situations within the Bonfire Company, knowing the high fatality rate of these tasks, and many involved special transportation which the officials could not assist with, so they were better off not accepting.
“No, that won’t do.”
Colin shook his head, about to speak, when he suddenly felt sothing influence him for a mont, and then he heard the other party say, “If the respective ratio can be pressed down to 0.01%, then we can accept.”
‘Pretty good, that’s nearly what I wanted to say…’
Colin squinted his eyes and thought of the inexplicable sensation of being spied upon, instantly realizing the cause.
He didn’t speak, just stared at the other party, and after a few seconds of a stand-off, Xu Duojin, with an apologetic tone, said, “Sorry, it’s a matter of habit, I assure you I will not use any abilities next ti.”
“Fine, I hope our talks can be free from trickery.”
Colin didn’t intend to pursue it further—when Old Wu had used these thods, Colin couldn’t detect them, had no evidence, and only had a vague suspicion afterwards. Even with suspicions, he wasn’t sure, but with this Eighth Level individual, he could feel it.
Afterward, they continued discussing so intricacies, and Colin moved on to the negotiation of the second cooperative project:
About the exchange of raw materials from official personnel to the company for finished prop items,
both parties were inclined to reach an agreent, and negotiations were almost completed without much discussion. Officials would prepare a corresponding inventory and then hand it over to Colin, who would reciprocate through mission assignnts to Lady Bunny.
At that ti, she would evaluate and inform them of how many props the raw materials could be exchanged for, what kind of props they were likely to be, and the expected delivery cycle.
If they could accept, they would; if not, they would decline.
“You may need many containnt subjects of the sa level before you can exchange for a single prop, and it’s not a small chance that you’ll need three or four for one. I guess I should give you a heads-up on this,” Colin reminded.
“No problem, five or six for one is fine, not to ntion three or four,”
Xu Duojin laughed, appearing very generous—in fact, not just five or six, but the upper echelon had given him a baseline that even eleven would work!
After all, many containnt subjects were rely that because they had no solution for them.
Sotis, while so containnt subjects may seem harmless to humans and animals, it’s possible that their execution could lead to unexpected disasters.
For example, the officials once detained an almost unkillable “Wild Boar” with imnse destructive power and a strong desire to kill. They thought that executing it would suffice, but after the execution, its blood turned into a pool from which nurous abnormalities erged…
After the loss of a Level Seven Personnel’s life and the containnt of the blood pool, they realized that the “Wild Boar” might be so sort of seal. After that, they beca extrely cautious about completely executing certain things.
If they could contain it, they would; if they really couldn’t, they would try to open so special tunnels to throw it into another world…
Now, with the “Bonfire Company” actively willing to deal with such matters, they were too pleased to even consider refusal.
In any case, as long as the trade was concluded, and the trouble resolved, it would be a success. Whatever props they obtained could be considered a bonus, and they could only win big or win small in the end.
Colin was unaware of this, but he was also happy that the trade was concluded; after all, he handled transactions for both parties.
In this exchange, there would always be sothing for him to gain.
One could say that after the transaction was complete, all three parties were happy, with the only ones likely unhappy being those strange abnormalities destined to beco either props or kindling…
“Here is the contract, take a look at the specifics,”
Colin took out the letter that Miss Bunny had originally sent, but its contents had changed into two contract papers corresponding to projects one and two…
Xu Duojin took them and examined the contents, which were straightforward with no major textual loopholes.
So guidance also told him there were no traps…
He promptly extended his thumb, and on behalf of the officials, he signed his na on both contract papers.
And it was at that mont that a fla burst forth from the contracts.
Xu Duojin was startled and subconsciously wanted to foresee the outco, but a strong instinctive fear restrained him from doing so.
If he hadn’t glimpsed anything, it would be fine, but if he had…
He had the intuition that he would evaporate on the spot.
Just then, a warm breeze swept over them, and a voice rang in their ears:
“The contract has been signed, with a validity of three years. The contents of this agreent are protected under the ‘Bonfire Protocol.’ Please abide by it, and if there are any objections or additions, submit them jointly after proper communication.”
