Quadruple split.

Chapter 2550 Initiative and Dominance
Game time AM07:45
Public space, private space of [Green Apple Chamber of Commerce·Senior Meeting Room]
"Tsk, tsk, so..."

The tall, thin, bearded man in a fancy burgundy casual suit smacked his lips and exclaimed, "Did you really create a meeting room in a public space by a player named 'Green Apple Chamber of Commerce·High-end Meeting Room'? Isn't that too exaggerated?!"

"Boss Luo is joking."

Qingqing Apple Fragrance shook her head and smiled at the elite entrepreneur she had just met not long ago, the founder of [Red Star Network Technology Co., Ltd.], the owner of [Red Constellation] Club, Luo Ou, the man named 'Romeo and the Pig Spend the Night' in the game, and said: "In your eyes, how can such a small fight be called exaggerated?"

Luo Ou shrugged noncommittally, then casually opened a bottle of Arctic Ocean that he had bought from the system mall. The suggested retail price outside the game was two dollars and a half, but in public spaces, it only cost less than one-tenth of the price to drink. He raised his glass to the girl in front of him and said, "I wish you good health, little apple."

"Thank you, and I wish you good health, Boss Luo."

Although the other party's attitude was very friendly, Qingqing Pingguoxiang still felt a little nervous and uneasy about facing Luo Ou, a three-dimensional elite with so many talents, alone. So when she took out a bottle of the same [Arctic Ocean] to greet the other party, there were inevitably some mistakes in her voice and expression management.

【Oops……】

The girl's heart sank, and she immediately thought to herself that something was wrong. The reason was that in the business world, this kind of "show of weakness" would often put subsequent negotiations in a very unfavorable situation.

Take bargaining in the vegetable market as an example. Suppose the fishmonger glared at you, stabbed his knife into the chopping board with a clang, and coldly said, "35 yuan per catty of mantis shrimp." You shuddered on the spot. Even if you bought three catties at once and bargained bravely, the final transaction price would have to be at least 27 or 28 yuan.

but!

If you put your head on the chopping board with the knife in front of you without saying anything, lick the blade with your tongue trembling, and scream "Shrimp! Shrimp, shrimp, shrimp! Give me some mantis shrimp! !", then there is a very high probability that you will get a pound of high-quality and delicious mantis shrimp for free.

It’s a pity that Qingqing Pingguoxiang is not Tan... not the mentally ill person in the fictional example mentioned above, so she naturally would not go crazy in front of Luo Ou, but even so, the small gaffe just now still has a high probability of putting her at a disadvantage in the subsequent negotiations.

There was no way. Even if Qingqing Pingguoxiang was the daughter of a wealthy family, and was the one who could get Luo Ou to buy 20 kilograms of top-grade mantis shrimp overnight to get close to her just by reporting her father's ID card, and even the former leaders of the Songzhi Studio had to give her enough face, but at this moment, her identity was not the daughter of some leader, but the founder of the Green Apple Chamber of Commerce, a cutting-edge businessman who had just made his mark in the world of innocence.

In the field of "businessman", Romeo's level is really supermodel. Even though Boss Luo had already stated in the news that this was a "private meeting" that had nothing to do with the Red Constellation Club, the reason why a successful businessman is a successful businessman is that just by sitting there, he exudes a temperament of "Come on, give your money to me."

This temperament is so convincing that Qingqing Pingguoxiang's first reaction is to confirm her "bottom line" in many projects.

To be honest, this mentality is actually not much different from just surrendering your gun...

Fortunately, Luo Ou had no intention of bullying the little girl, so when he noticed that Qingqing Pingguoxiang was a little reserved, he not only did not take the opportunity to discuss a "good deal", but he even took the initiative to speak to ease the atmosphere, saying with a smile: "Don't forget what we agreed before, you can't say hello to the Red Constellation when we meet this time, otherwise I will definitely not be able to play this game peacefully."

"It's natural."

Qingqing Apple Fragrance also adjusted her attitude immediately and nodded seriously, "At least when it comes to integrity, you can completely trust Green Apple and Qingqing Apple Fragrance."

"That's good."

Luo Ou smiled and said directly, "Then I'll get straight to the point, Miss Apple. I believe that with the power of your Chamber of Commerce, you should have a fairly high level of control over the situation in the entire world in the game... right? After all, we all know that the profit from robbing time is usually much faster than directly robbing money."

Qingqing Apple Fragrance nodded slightly, without any unnecessary modesty, and answered just as neatly: "I think so."

"very good."

Luo Ou laughed happily and asked cheerfully: "Then please tell me, just yesterday... that is, in the year 9571 of the Holy Calendar, the Moon of Light, the Day of Chant, what major events happened in the [Realm of Innocence]?"

"..."

Qingqing Apple Fragrance narrowed her eyes and did not give an answer immediately. It was not until Luo Ou's expression gradually changed from happiness to confusion that she whispered, "One of the twin fortresses in the northern border of the Holy Land, as the gate of the Holy Church and the northern land, always ready to resist the invasion of the blood barbarians, the city of Dunbuya was burned. According to preliminary intelligence, although the city is full of traces of battles and many remains, there is no survivor."

"Uh-huh."

Luo Ou nodded vigorously and asked in an encouraging tone: "Anything else?"

"In the accident, the Chosen One of the Cult of Plenty, the Holy Son Philip Tolan, disappeared and his whereabouts remain unknown. The Chosen One of the Cult of Justice, the Holy Son Avery Davidson, disappeared and his whereabouts remain unknown."

Qingqing Pingguoxiang was talking about the information that she had already memorized before the incident, while looking up at the outstanding young entrepreneur in front of her who was no longer middle-aged: "In addition... the new star of the Dawn Sect, Pastor Hei Fan, who led his team to win the [Guilt Discussion Battle·Group Battle] not long ago, is also missing and his whereabouts are still unknown."

Luo Ou's smile became more obvious, and he asked leisurely: "That's right, then, Miss Apple, what do you think about this?"

"My opinion is that ..."

Having already seen through the other party's intentions, Qingqing Apple also smiled and looked directly into Luo Ou's eyes, saying seriously: "As the helmsman of the Chamber of Commerce, I personally not only admire Black Fan Pastor very much, but also hate the evil forces in the northern part of the Holy Land. So if there is anything we can help with, [Green Apple] is willing to do our best."

……

at the same time
Northeastern Continent, Cliff of Broken Head, Evil Eye King's Court

"Kings……"

After kneeling outside the royal court for a day and a night, the Black Lizard Hunter Commander, Yerma Santos, was finally allowed to enter the main hall. He knelt on the ground and bowed to the evil eye that looked down at him coldly, with resentment and anger still not dissipated: "The old slave is here."

"Don't worry, Uncle Yerma." The thin figure curled up in the throne of bones struggled to stand up, and smiled weakly to his only trusted right-hand man: "I'm fine... or rather, I was not devastated by the news yesterday, and then I was devastated and only barely regained consciousness now. It's just that the 'curse poison' suddenly broke out. Without any preparation, I can only lock myself here and try to survive this curse rooted in my flesh and blood."

Yerma's figure trembled, and he raised his head suddenly and said: "Fedo, your body..."

"It's terrible, Uncle Yerma, it's terrible."

The Evil Eye King stood up shakily, staggered for a while before he managed to steady himself, revealing a ferocious smile: "The 'punishment' given to me by the Son of the Sun was very interesting, at least much more interesting than I imagined. Thanks to him, the curse poison in my body is completely out of control. From now on, there will be no more 'outbreak cycle'. This cruel evil poison will no longer show any mercy and will make me feel the extreme pain at any time and any place."

Yerma quickly came to the steps and raised his hand to support the Evil Eye King who was about to fall from the throne. He was silent for a long time before gritting his teeth and said, "Your Majesty, if it really doesn't work, I, this old servant..."

"You can't give me relief, Uncle Yerma. It's not that I didn't think of asking you for help when I was in the most painful time, but you are not qualified, really not qualified."

The Evil Eye King sighed, and while being helped by the other party to sit down again, he said softly: "You are too narrow-minded. You cannot bear the burden of taking away my... [Evil Eye King] Fyodor's life. My death itself will crush you and paint the rest of your life into painful, dull ash. Do you know what 'ash' is? Look at my scales, Uncle Yerma. That is the color of the most desperate lesion. It is a curse that can destroy the faith and dignity of any normal person."

Although he knew that the other party's words were not false, Yerma still couldn't bear to let him endure such torture. His eyes were firm and he said, "I can die with you. I can... let the entire Cliff of Broken Head die with you."

"Of course you can, Uncle Yerma. After all, within three days, the first group of 'investigation teams' from the Holy Church Union will probably set foot on this wild land. Let me think... They will bring a legend, some mid-level combat power that can cause us great trouble, and a large number of pawns who are not even as good as the Gray Lizard Hunters."

The Evil Eye King raised his lips slightly and said leisurely, "Of course you can sell out the entire Broken Head Cliff after killing me, and take this ugly and vulgar group with me. After all, with the help of the holy church, it is not difficult to accomplish this "feat", especially for someone like you who is very good at using troops and winning hearts and minds."

Yerma nodded vigorously and said seriously: "Yes, Your Majesty, if you need me, I am always here..."

"I do not need."

However, the Evil Eye King gently interrupted Yerma and repeated in a calm tone: "I don't need it."

Yerma was about to say something, but swallowed the words back after noticing the ferocious light in the eyes of the Evil Eye King.

The other party has actually just stated the reason.

I am not qualified.

I don't even have the qualifications to share a little bit of the king's unnecessary pain.

"Don't show that expression, Uncle Yerma. You know very well how much I trust and rely on you. In fact, if you want, I can even call you 'father'. After all, compared with old Gota, you treat me much better."

As if he could see through people's hearts, the Evil Eye King comforted his right-hand man with a brisk tone, and then changed the subject and sneered: "But I really can't die like this. It's not that I have any unfulfilled wishes or any regrets, but... can you understand? Uncle Yerma is like a lute that has been carefully carved, and every string is made with the utmost ingenuity of the creator. It cannot lose its sound before it is played. That is a blasphemy, an intolerable blasphemy."

The Evil Eye King slowly clenched his weak fists, and gave Yerma a smile that seemed extremely exaggerated in order to hide the severe pain, but also extremely 'genuine'. There seemed to be a ball of cold and blazing fire slowly beating in his eyes.

"Kings……"

Yerma slowly lowered his head and whispered firmly and strugglingly: "I understand."

"Very good, let's stop chatting about family matters here."

The Evil Eye King nodded, then changed to a more comfortable position and leaned on the bone throne, saying calmly: "Now it seems that it is just as I expected before. The reason why Danon lost contact with the troops I gave him, and the reason why the scouts who were sent to Dunbuya City to check the situation never returned... is all because of the betrayal of the Black Brahma priest."

Yerma's eyes narrowed slightly, and his face was gloomy as water as he said: "It's not that we didn't anticipate this possibility. It's precisely because we have always been on guard against his betrayal that we asked the Gray Lizard Hunters to move into Dunbuya City. But no one could have imagined that the Holy Church Union would directly abandon Dunbuya City just to find a reasonable claim."

“No, no, no. As I just said, it was not the Holy Church Union that abandoned the city of Dunbuya, but the Black Brahma priest who came from the Dawn Sect and could command the two Holy Sons at will.”

The Evil Eye King held his cheek and sneered, "If you think about it carefully, you will understand. If all this was really planned by the Holy Alliance, then before sunset yesterday, the Cliff of Broken Head would have welcomed at least three charlatans who came to call for punishment. The only possibility that this did not happen is that the Holy Alliance... or most of the forces of the Holy Alliance, including Justice and Abundance, must not have any intelligence advantage over me, the Evil Eye King."

"what do you mean……"

"What I mean is that all of this is the result of the arbitrary behavior of that young priest, Black Brahma. The reason why the two saints were willing to let him drive them around is probably not because of the young priest's 'status', but for some more emotional and abstract reasons."

"..."

"This was my only oversight, and it was this oversight that allowed Pastor Heifan to completely take control of the situation."

"Then let's..."

"Let's wait for the people from the Holy Church Union to arrive."

"Yes."

"After all, even if he has the initiative, the initiative in this wild land...will always belong to Broken Head Cliff and the Evil Eye King."
