Shen Tianlin looked at the [Silver Shadow Leopard] in a daze. It was not until Wang Xiao asked three times that he came back to his senses. He took the [Identification Scroll] and tore it open, revealing new information in the air.
[Silver Shadow Leopard] [Platinum Level 2]
“How is this possible?! ”
Shen Tianlin exclaimed. Even though he was extremely shrewd, he could not help but lose his composure at this moment. “He grew so much in an instant and even directly crossed the ‘gold quality’! Is this really something that a [Lord Skill] can do?”
Wang Xiao smacked his lips and did not say anything. After all, he also felt that this growth speed was a little ridiculous.
However, Wang Xiao had no choice. Once the [Flickering Light and Shadow] was activated, he could only disguise his soldier as “peak silver level three”. He had studied it for a long time and could not change it.
After waiting for a while, seeing that Shen Tianlin had calmed down slightly, Wang Xiao said, “This might be a coincidence. When I first subdued it, he was already about to break through.”
“But even so, it’s too unbelievable!”
Shen Tianlin frowned and replied. He clearly still felt that something was wrong, but from the beginning to the end, he had “witnessed” it with his own eyes. There did not seem to be anything wrong.
After a moment of silence, Shen Tianlin looked at Wang Xiao awkwardly. “Um… Brother Wang, I didn’t see it clearly just now. Can I trouble you to do it again?” “Do it again?
Wang Xiao was stunned when he heard this. He did not expect Shen Tianlin to make such a request.
He could do it again, but even if he did, he could only use the [Silver Shadow Leopard]. He might as well tell Shen Tianlin the truth!
Seeing Wang Xiao’s hesitation, Shen Tianlin immediately became even more suspicious. “What’s wrong, Brother Wang? Is it inconvenient?”
“It’s indeed not convenient…”
Wang Xiao dragged out his voice and laughed dryly. His mind was already working crazily. “My [Lord Core] level is too low. Currently, it can only be effective on soldiers below the silver level. That was my last silver soldier just now.”
Shen Tianlin said, “Oh?” His narrowed eyes were filled with suspicion. “Your skill only works on silver soldiers?”
“Right!”
Wang Xiao nodded and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. “If not for this, I wouldn’t have been in a hurry to upgrade my lord core.”
This explanation was reasonable. The suspicion on Shen Tianlin’s face instantly disappeared. “I was wondering why you were in a hurry to level up at such a young age. So this is the reason!”
“Yes! Yes!”
Wang Xiao nodded repeatedly and tried his best to pretend to be in a difficult position. “Minister Shen, I’ve already told you the method. If you want to go back on your word, I can buy those resources at the original price. I’ll definitely settle the bill in three days!”
“Three days…”
Shen Tianlin muttered with a clearly disappointed expression.
His previous goal was to quickly nurture mutated beasts to earn a large sum of money. However, since only Wang Xiao could use this method, the tens of billions of discount was not worth it.
After excluding this factor, the problem returned to the original point—whether to believe that Wang Xiao could take out 100 billion star coins in three days.
After weighing the pros and cons, Shen Tianlin came up with a negative answer in his heart. The reason for his judgment was also very simple. If Wang Xiao really had the ability, he could completely bring money to discuss it three days later.
“My lord, please allow me to apologize first.”
Shen Tianlin bowed slightly to Wang Xiao and changed the way he addressed him from “Brother Wang” to “Lord Wang”. “In view of the situation I saw in your territory, we can’t believe that you have the ability to settle the payment.”
Wang Xiao’s heart sank when he heard this. Just as he thought that all the effort he had spent would be wasted, Shen Tianlin suddenly changed his tone. “However, according to your previous transactions with the Lord’s Shop, I’m willing to give you a chance.”
Wang Xiao, who was in a good mood, was delighted. “What opportunity?”
“We’ll sell those resources to you at the original price and give you three days to raise the money for the goods, but you need to sign the [Gold Contract].”
Shen Tianlin’s tone was businesslike. He paused and said seriously, “At the same time, you have to agree to one of my requests.”
Wang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat. He vaguely felt that this request would not be simple, but in order to level up, he still probed, “What request?”
“Nurturing mutated beasts for the Lord’s Shop.”
Shen Tianlin went straight to the point and said, “I just saw that you have 11 soldier pits. After you level up, the number of soldier pits will also increase to 21. I hope we can reserve five pits and use your [Lord Skill] to nurture mutated beasts for us.”
Hearing this request, Wang Xiao’s first reaction was to refuse. He could accept the five pits, but the problem was that his [Lord Skill] was a cover. The real reason behind the accelerated growth of the mutated beasts was the Ten Thousand Times Increase System!
Although he could obtain new enhancement opportunities every time he leveled up, he only had one chance to obtain the “Ten Thousand Times Growth Increase”. Even if Wang Xiao did not use his own soldiers, it was far from enough to increase the strength of the five soldiers.
Moreover, Shen Tianlin’s condition was to reserve five pits and not nurture five mutated beast soldiers. Once Wang Xiao agreed to this condition, who knew how many mutated beasts Shen Tianlin would stuff into his hands!
According to the system’s reward rules, he could not use it on so many mutated beasts. Even if there were only ten, Wang Xiao would have to work for the Lord’s Shop for the rest of his life.
However, if he did not agree, he would return to the initial problem—what if Shen Tianlin used this batch of resources to choke his neck?
Returning to the original point, Wang Xiao’s efforts seemed to have all been in vain. However, after this negotiation, he also made a very important discovery —Shen Tianlin was a businessman, so the conditions could be negotiated.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiao secretly made a risky decision. He made up his mind and said coldly, “I’m sorry, I refuse.”
“What did you say?
Shen Tianlin frowned. “This is your only chance to obtain the upgrade resources. Are you sure you want to reject my suggestion?”
“Minister Shen seems to have misunderstood.”
Wang Xiao corrected casually, “This is not my only chance. It’s my only chance to obtain resources from the Lord’s Shop.”
Shen Tianlin did not seem to expect Wang Xiao to have such an attitude. He was stunned for a moment before asking, ‘What do you mean? Other than the Lord’s Shop, who else can provide so many resources?”
“Of course it’s the many secret realms on the Blue Planet. It’ll just take more time.”
Wang Xiao smiled. The aura of a few platinum soldiers spread from all over the territory. “I want these resources and of course, I would like to obtain them quickly. It’s best if I can obtain them. If I can’t, I won’t force it. In any case, these soldiers are already enough for me.”
Shen Tianlin’s expression changed. He suddenly realized that he seemed to have made a mistake.
The reason why he dared to ask for an exorbitant price was because he felt that with that batch of resources, he could definitely eat Wang Xiao.. However, what if it was really as Wang Xiao had said and that batch of resources was not as urgently needed?
