Chapter 145: Chapter 145: The Five Nations’ Decision! Risa Woke Up!
Although Ren Qi had just used the name of Zhao Yuheng of the Cloud group to suppress the Dark Elf Queen, he still said that he was not familiar with Xuan Ming without blushing.
Xuan Ming: “... Big Brother, don’t mess with me. How about this, I’ll give you 10,000 Energy Crystals. Is that okay?”
Ren Qi: “No, since you already know about the Holy Stone, then you should know its value.”
Xuan Ming: “But I really need this Holy Stone. This Holy Stone is very likely to be of the mechanical class, and it can help me upgrade my troops.”
“Now that everyone is a member of the Cloud, the increase in my strength should also be helpful to you, right? Wasn’t our previous cooperation pretty good?”
Ren Qi replied, “Wait for my news first. If it is confirmed to be a Holy Stone of the mechanical class, I will think of a way to let you use it as well.”
After saying that, Ren Qi ended the private chat with Xuan Ming and began to explain the use of the Holy Stone to Luo Ming.
Previously, Ren Qi thought that there was only one type of Holy Stone, but now it seemed that it was not the case.
From Xuan Ming’s words, Ren Qi could tell that he was very familiar with Holy Stones. Moreover, since there were mechanical types, there would definitely be other types of Holy Stones.
The Holy Stone in his hand was a dark-type Holy Stone.
Xuan Ming did not even tell him about this information, yet he still wanted to work with him to scam the Holy Stone out of Luo Ming’s hand?
Ren Qi did not know that Zhao Yuheng had told Xuan Ming and the others about the Holy Stone not long ago.
After Luo Ming heard Ren Qi’s story, he also knew the preciousness of the Holy Stone in his hands.
It was actually something that could help the military to continuously level up. No wonder Xuan Ming and the others wanted it.
Updates by
Luo Ming: “Since this Holy Stone is so precious, why don’t you hold it for me, Big Brother 77, so as to prevent others from coveting it?”
Looking at the private message sent by Luo Ming, Ren Qi was speechless. Wasn’t this Luo Ming being a little too cautious?
Even giving away the Holy Stone?
Ren Qi: “No need. Just take it and use it yourself. There aren’t many people who know about the Holy Stone now, and the Holy Stone in your hand isn’t a dark type, so I can’t use it.”
“Use the mechanical creature’s corpse to test it first, see if the Holy Stone in your hand can absorb their soul power, and confirm whether this Holy Stone is a mechanical-type Holy Stone.”
When Luo Ming heard Ren Qi’s words, he did not hesitate and immediately went to look for the mechanical bug’s corpse to test it.
There were still a lot of mechanical bugs around the mine.
Very soon, Luo Ming sent a message.
Luo Ming said, “Big Brother 77, this Holy Stone can really absorb the mechanical bug’s soul power!”
Ren Qi’s expression changed slightly. It seemed like it really was a mechanical-type Holy Stone.
Although this Luo Ming was very cautious, it had to be said that his luck had always been very good.
However, this also made Ren Qi realize that he had always been confused about whether mechanical soldiers or monsters had souls or not.
Now, it seemed that they did.
Ren Qi said, “Alright, you can keep this Holy Stone for yourself. I have already told you how to use it. Try to use as many Holy Stones as possible to increase the level of your army. Oh right, this Holy Stone in your hand is a Pure Holy Stone, right?”
Luo Ming: “It should be. This stone is quite big.”
Ren Qi: “... Your luck is really good.”
After chatting with Luo Ming, Ren Qi connected to Xuan Ming.
Xuan Ming: “Don’t be silent. What conditions do you have?”
Xuan Ming: “Big Brother, I’m begging you. I really need this Holy Stone.”
Xuan Ming: “Ren Qi, don’t go too far. Do you believe that I’ll get my boss to bring a Tier 9 army to f*ck you?!”
...
Ren Qi said, “What are you grumbling about? Luo Ming’s side has already confirmed that the Holy Stone is indeed a mechanical Holy Stone, and it might even be a Pure Holy Stone!”
“Also, don’t threaten me with a Tier 9 soldier. It’s not like I don’t have one on my side. Do you want to start a war and try it out?”
Ren Qi had already formed an alliance with the dark elves, so he was also not afraid of Zhao Yuheng, who had a Tier 9 soldier.
Xuan Ming quickly became listless. He knew very well that Zhao Yuheng would not fight Ren Qi.
After thinking for a while, Xuan Ming wrote a line of words with difficulty.
Xuan Ming: “Father! What do you want? Just say it. As long as I can do it, I will do it for you!”
He knew that Luo Ming obeyed Ren Qi. If he wanted the Holy Stone, he had to deal with Ren Qi.
Ren Qi said, “My dear son, don’t even think about the Holy Stone. It’s impossible for me to give it to you. However, I can give you the opportunity to use the Holy Stone.”
Xuan Ming asked, “What do you mean?”
Ren Qi said, “You can prepare the soul power of the mechanical creatures and then go to Luo Ming’s territory to use the Pure Holy Stone.”
Xuan Ming asked, “Will you be so kind?”
This was indeed a solution. At least Xuan Ming was very willing. After all, he wanted the Holy Stone to use it to increase the strength of his troops.
However, how could he believe that Ren Qi would be so kind to propose such a solution?
Ren Qi said, “What? What are you talking about? We are all in the same organization. It is natural for us to help each other.”
Ren Qi: “How about this? I have already made an agreement with Luo Ming. You only need to pay Luo Ming 1,000 energy crystals every time you use the Pure Holy Stone!”
Xuan Ming: “I knew you did not have good intentions. It is not that I can not accept 1,000 energy crystals, but how many mechanical creature souls can I bring over at one time? This won’t do. We have to change it to a fixed time limit. For example, how many energy crystals would it take to use the Pure Holy Stone for one day?”
Ren Qi said, “How troublesome would that be? Even transporting the mechanical creature’s corpse back and forth wouldn’t be enough to cover your fuel cost.”
Xuan Ming said, “Then aren’t you trying to scam me?”
Ren Qi said, “My dear son, you’ve already called me ‘father’. How could I possibly scam you? I’ve already thought it through for you.”
Ren Qi said, “I have a kind of divine aura soul storage bag that can store souls. It can store 3,000 souls at a time. It’s enough for you to use. I can sell it to you at a high price with tears in my eyes. Based on our relationship, I can only sell it to you for 10,000 energy crystals!”
Xuan Ming said,”... 10,000 energy crystals! Why don’t you go rob someone?”
Ren Qi said, “You should know the value of a bag that can store souls. 10,000 energy crystals isn’t expensive. Didn’t you just steal a house and make a fortune?”
Xuan Ming almost spat out a mouthful of blood. Didn’t Ren Qi know how many energy crystals he would get if he stole a house?
He was asking him to work for him for free, and then he would have to pay with his own energy crystals.
Xuan Ming: “No, I don’t have that many energy crystals.”
Ren Qi: “Alright! Then I’ll take a step back. Don’t say that I’m ungrateful. As an elder, I still have to give you some benefits.”
Ren Qi: “How about this, 5,000 energy crystals. In addition, the Cloud can’t hide any information from me in the future. It’s a fixed price. be straightforward!”
Xuan Ming looked at the word ‘elder’ on the private chat and was so angry that he almost flew into a rage. After looking at the remaining 5,000 energy crystals, he finally calmed himself down.
Can’t hide any information?
Initially, after this incident, Zhao Yuheng had also accepted Ren Qi and wanted to recruit him as a true core member.
Moreover, their biggest secret right now should be the Holy Stone. Ren Qi obviously had the Holy Stone in his hands as well. There was no need to hide it at all.
Xuan Ming: “Okay! It’s a deal!”
Ren Qi: “Okay! I’ll go tell Luo Ming now.”
Soon, Ren Qi told Luo Ming about this matter. Luo Ming also listened to Ren Qi’s arrangement. After all, he could get 1,000 energy crystals every time.
However, he still instructed Ren Qi to let Xuan Ming come over himself, so that no one would know the location of his territory.
One couldn’t be too cautious.
After speaking to Luo Ming, Ren Qi went to look for Xuan Ming again.
Ren Qi said, “Luo Ming has already agreed. I will give you the soul storage bag in a while. Remember to give me 5,000 energy crystals. Alright, you can tell me the information that you hid from me previously.”
Ren Qi had always felt that Cloud was very mysterious.
Moreover, Xuan Ming and Tian Jizi clearly knew more about the black fog than the other new lords, so Ren Qi wanted to learn more about it through the Cloud.
After all, no one knew how long the calm period would last and what would happen after it.
It would naturally be better if he could learn more about it at this time.
Xuan Ming did not hesitate and directly informed Ren Qi about the news in the Cloud.
After hanging up the private chat, Ren Qi’s eyes sparkled.
“So, Xuan Ming and the others are all from the aristocratic families that were born after the black fog appeared a hundred years ago and the global changes.”
“The reason why they know some information in the black fog is related to their ancestor who awakened the same type of soldier as Tian Jizi. It is because of the prophecy of that ancestor!”
“Zhao Yuheng, who has the Tier-9 Immortal Blood Phoenix, did not awaken it out of sheer luck. It was because of the hundred-year heritage of the Zhao family.”
“The black fog this time is related to the black fog that appeared a hundred years ago. However, they are not sure about the exact relationship. Now, their exploration of the black fog has landed on the Holy Stones.”
“There are many Holy Stones. It should be very important!”
“As for what will happen after the calm period, Cloud group doesn’t know either.”
Ren Qi’s eyes flickered as he recalled the information that Xuan Ming had revealed to him earlier.
The information regarding the black fog didn’t increase by much. It was about the same as what Ren Qi knew.
However, Zhao Yuheng’s military branch came from the background of an aristocratic family. This made Ren Qi very surprised.
Moreover, Tian Jizi had awakened the same army as his ancestors!
Then, did such an aristocratic family exist in other countries? What kind of exploration did they have for the black fog?
These were all unknown.
However, from the information that Xuan Ming had given, even these aristocratic families did not know much about the black fog that had appeared. They could only band together and explore the black fog.
The Cloud was such an organization. It was said that there were also descendants of aristocratic families from other countries who should have joined the Cloud. However, they had gone on their own later on.
Currently, the only new lord in Cloud was the Silver Dragon Territory’s Lord, Hermione, whom Ren Qi had an impression of.
Ren Qi shook his head. There were still not many useful things. However, they had solved some of his previous doubts, such as why Xuan Ming and Tian Jizi were so calm when dealing with the black fog.
What would happen after the calm period was still unknown. It was best to improve one’s strength.
...
Outside the black fog, at the joint office of the Five Nations.
The representatives of the five nations were in the conference hall at the moment. The atmosphere was a little gloomy.
The representative of the Dragon Kingdom said, “It has been so long, but there is still not much progress in the exploration of the black fog. The troops that entered the black fog have disappeared one after another, as if they were swallowed up.”
The representative of the Bear Kingdom said in a deep voice, “They should be the concern of the aristocratic families now, right? They have long studied the black fog. What are their intentions?”
The representative of the Eagle Kingdom said with a smile, “So what? Haven’t all the major countries been studying the black fog from a hundred years ago? It’s just that they are not as thorough as the aristocratic families.”
The representative of the Wolf Kingdom said fiercely, “They are provoking the country. A group of aristocratic families, and they still want to replace the country?”
The representative of the Dragon Kingdom said, “In the current world, a large part of the country’s power is made up of aristocratic families. If it weren’t for the members of the aristocratic families who serve the country, I’m afraid that we wouldn’t know so much about the black fog.”
The representative of the Tiger Kingdom said, “Now is not the time to talk about this. The black fog has already appeared. There is no point in pursuing the aristocratic families anymore. Now, we should discuss what to do about the black fog.”
The representative of the Dragon Kingdom said, “That’s right. From the current situation, the black fog will be experiencing a period of peace now. However, no one knows what will happen after the period of peace.”
“Moreover, the black fog is continuously spreading, and the range of its coverage is getting larger and larger.”
“Currently, there are two pre-selection methods to deal with the situation of the black fog.”
“The first is to allow the black fog to develop, and then wait and see.”
“The second option is to launch an attack on the black fog and see if we can destroy it or at least stop it from spreading!”
The representative of the Bear Kingdom said, “The first option is better for the new lords in the black fog. After all, no one knows what kind of effect attacking the black fog will have on the new lords in the black fog.”
“However, when the black fog starts to spread, I will still choose the second option. Even if I give up on the new lords in the black fog, I will still try to destroy or suppress the black fog!”
The representative of the Tiger Kingdom: “I also agree with the second plan.”
The representative of the Eagle Kingdom: “I also agree with the second plan.”
The representative of the Wolf Kingdom: “Hmph! I am also in favor of the second plan. I want to let those aristocratic families understand that the real decision-maker is still the country!”
The representative of the Dragon Kingdom: “Good! In that case, all representatives, go back and prepare. Start gathering the Tier-9 lords of each country. Three days later, begin the attack on the black fog!”
A hundred years ago, when the black fog descended, the people could only passively accept it.
The demon caves, the monsters, the harsh living environment, and the territorial abilities that were awakened along with it.
And now, a hundred years later, facing the black fog that appeared once again, the people finally had the ability to take the initiative to attack!
It was just that they did not know what the result of taking the initiative to attack this time would be.
...
In the succubus territory, Ren Qi didn’t know about anything other than the black fog. He was currently outside the room where Risa was resting in the City Lord’s mansion.
Risa had woken up!
