Chapter 274 - 274 Rejected?
274 Rejected?
“I need you to bring me to that resource secret realm to take a look at the situation. What do you think?”
When Lin Fang heard Su Ming’s words, he opened his mouth, then let out a sigh of resignation.
“I don’t think I have any way to reject.”
When Su Ming heard Lin Fang’s words, he first chuckled softly and did not continue his sentence.
After that, Su Ming did not choose to set off immediately. Instead, he had the elven hunters interrogate the other scouting teams using the same method he had just used.
Other than those who were captured by him at the beginning, there were also the other members who were nailed to the huge tree by him.
Once he interrogated all these people, Su Ming was certain that Lin Fang was telling the truth.
There weren’t many people in this team who knew about this hidden mission.
The content that they knew, other than the slight differences in the details, was mostly the same.
It could be seen that these few people who knew the inside story should be Lin Fang’s trusted aides.
They had only found out about this so-called hidden mission through Lin Fang.
Once he interrogated all these people and made sure that he had not missed out on any details regarding the mission, Su Ming sent out a small team of spirits and had them bring a few scouting teams to check on the situation.
Su Ming did not intend to go over to take a look.
The reason why he didn’t go over was actually very simple. From the beginning, he had no interest in this so-called secret realm.
The reason was simple.
The current Elf Valley was in a critical period of development, and he didn’t have the time to deal with a resource point that was too far away from him.
Besides, Su Ming did not want to provoke a potential opponent at his current stage.
They had dealt with the Vast Flame Kingdom’s scouting party quite well this time.
He didn’t let the other party discover his identity, and at the same time, he figured out the other party’s purpose.
If he were to covet a resource point at this time and expose the Elf Valley, it would not be worth it.
When he thought of this, Su Ming felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
His cautious way of handling things was indeed somewhat limited by the development speed of the Elf Valley.
If the scale of his power was similar to that of the Vast Flame Kingdom, then Su Ming would not need to be afraid of them and would just Rob them.
Su Ming shook his head and did not continue thinking about it.
A few hours later, his small team of spirits returned from the resource point and told Su Ming the general situation there.
Once Su Ming finished listening to the story, he felt a little emotional.
As expected of a resource point that even a Grand Duke of the Vast Flame Kingdom would be interested in. The abundance of resources was simply astonishing.
“I’ll consider taking action against this resource point after this period of development is over.”
Once he made up his mind, Su Ming shifted his attention to the small scouting teams before him.
“Come, give me a reason, a reason to let you all go.”
When Lin Fang and the other members of the scouting team heard Su Ming’s words, their expressions immediately changed.
After looking at each other, someone couldn’t help but say, “You have to know that we’re from the Vast Flame Kingdom.”
“Shut up!”
Before he could finish his sentence, Lin Fang interrupted him.
Lin Fang glared at the person to make him shut up, then slowly turned his head back to look in Su Ming’s direction.
“If you have any conditions, just say it.”
Su Ming chuckled softly, then said, “I don’t seem to have anything I particularly want right now, nor do I have any established conditions.”
“how about this, you can come and propose your conditions to me. See if you can give me any conditions that will move my heart so that I will let you go.”
When they heard Su Ming’s words, the expressions of the people in the hall changed.
They exchanged glances, and their expressions became serious.
Su Ming did not care about their reactions. He simply sat down by the pond and enjoyed the barbeque his team members had prepared for him.
As he ate, Su Ming considered adding a field cooking program to the training of the elf hunters.
Otherwise, their cooking skills would not be very good.
After some time, Lin Fang brought a bag to Su Ming.
In this bag, there are two thousand gold coins, which is all the wealth that our scouting team can take out.
When he heard Lin Fang’s words, Su Ming lifted his head and swept his gaze across Lin Fang’s body for a long while.
“Just this?”
As he spoke, Su Ming took the money bag from Lin Fang’s hands.
After he opened it, a notification sounded in front of him.
[ Congratulations on opening the heavy money bag. You have obtained 2341 gold coins. ]
When Lin Fang heard Su Ming’s question, he was first stunned, then his expression changed.
Su Ming ignored him and continued to return the food he had just eaten.
After he finished the work, Su Ming felt that this thing could finally be associated with good food.
At that moment, Lin Fang walked up to Su Ming once again and placed all sorts of treasures in front of him.
“This is all we can take out.”
Su Ming first cast him a glance, then suddenly chuckled softly and said,
“Oh, really? I think the equipment you’re wearing is pretty good.”
When he heard Su Ming’s words, Lin Fang was first slightly stunned, then his expression changed drastically.
“What do you mean by that? Don’t go too far!”
Su Ming chuckled but did not say anything. He continued chuckling as he looked at Lin Fang.
Lin Fang’s expression changed for a moment, before he finally took a deep breath.
He closed his eyes for a while before opening them again and taking off his equipment.
[ Kingdom Mecha Helmet ]
[ level: 45 ]
[ attribute bonus: defense +350, agility +30. ]
[ Equipment Description: a helmet created by the best blacksmith in the Vast Flame Kingdom. It has extremely high defense. ]
As he looked at the equipment before him, Su Ming could not help but quirk his eyebrows. A bright light flashed in his eyes.
After that, Su Ming took equipment after equipment.
Most of the equipment’s attributes were not as good as the Kingdom’s mech helmet, but there were a few that had similar attributes.
Su Ming estimated that he should be able to get quite a lot of money from these.
