Chapter 2684 The Wise Do Not Let Opportunities Go Unrewarded

Throughout human history, there has been a perennial dilemma: whether or not one is willing to pay a price for resources.

The common practice for dealing with this is to call it the "sacrifice strategy," such as the classic "billion for the death snail's pursuit."

The exchange we just had seemed a bit disjointed at first glance.

Professor Fu merely revealed his true purpose, even making it clear that he intended to use people as materials, and before he could make any threats, Serana immediately agreed.

But that's just at first glance. Anyone with a bit of social experience can easily understand why Serana gave in so quickly.

She had no intention of advancing to the second tier before, so she actually believed what Fu Qian said.

On the one hand, he didn't have that much ambition, and on the other hand, there was the example of Empo, whose excessive ambition led to disastrous consequences, which he witnessed up close throughout the entire process.

However, people's perceptions are influenced by their conditions and experiences, which, to put it bluntly, is the so-called "big environment".

Besides the factors that helped her maintain a detached and unyielding mindset, there's now a fatal objective condition in the broader environment—

How many people receive technical support from professional organizations during their promotion process?

At first glance, it seems that Professor Fu is disregarding human life and forcibly pushing forward some highly risky experiments.

But behind every risk lies an opportunity; for the person involved, this is also a unique kind of chance.

The person sitting opposite me is far more than just a rising star in the academy.

The scope of their influence, as far as we know, is terrifying; they have subtle connections with various organizations.

They clearly have a considerable understanding of the so-called new gods and old gods.

It's not just about technical support. Considering the good relationship with the Night Watchers and the implicit understanding between them and the Chief of the Capital, as long as the subsequent promotion process isn't too outrageous, the compliance procedures will be handled for free.

In conclusion, as Professor Fu revealed his true colors, although conspiracies may have been lurking everywhere, the situation still underwent a dramatic change.

In this situation, regardless of the tone of voice, it's perfectly acceptable to call it an opportunity that has come knocking.

"I understand. You don't need to worry about Yuan Shan."

Lady Serana may not have the best temper, but she's easy to talk to.

Seeing that things were getting on track quickly, Fu Qian nodded slightly, confirming that there were no issues with compliance.

"And you can take this one."

Before Serana could say anything more, he suddenly produced something indistinct in his hand and threw it over.

That's right, it's the vampire treasure that I just got from Taylor—the one that can conceal one's presence.

When I went to Taylor's place to handle things, it was in fact a way of extending a slight invitation to Lady Serana.

With things progressing so smoothly, there's no need to keep this item any longer; otherwise, it would only complicate the situation unnecessarily.

……

"It really was you..."

It was naturally easy to recognize her at a glance. Serana's complex expression at that moment confirmed her suspicions.

"Shouldn't we say it's lucky it was me? Otherwise, this thing wouldn't have been easy to find."

Fu Qian's smile remained unchanged, indicating that this was something to be happy about.

"You're right. I only found out about their incredibly stupid idea after I got back."

With a soft sigh, Serana didn't refute, but instead expressed her helplessness at the idiot's behavior.

"If the Rebirth Club were so easy to deal with, how could it have achieved what it has today?"

Clearly, for her, such petty scheming was a gross underestimation of the organization lurking in the shadows of the world. While this isn't entirely fair in theory, since the left-behind children in Beijing had no opportunity to witness firsthand how the Rebirth Club wielded such power in Moore, this was a different story.

In addition, it is quite obvious that the Great Fortune King that Serana is thinking of is indeed Professor Fu, but Professor Fu does not necessarily have to be the real Great Fortune King.

Even in the most sincere communication, misunderstandings are still possible.

For example, even if Fu Qian had confessed, Serana would have interpreted the previous events as him impersonating the Great King of the Great Clouds.

Perhaps at first glance, such behavior seems absurd, but after the exchange just now, it makes perfect sense for Professor Fu, a researcher who has been battling the Rebirth Club for a long time, to do such a thing.

Having already entered the game and become a piece, there was really no need for Gulad to get involved any further.

"If I don't come, or if I don't agree to the previous suggestion, will this thing not be brought out?"

Seeing that Professor Fu smiled without saying a word and did not take the opportunity to criticize, Serana casually weighed the cloak in her hand, clearly understanding the other party's plan.

"I don't usually force others to be ambitious."

Having acknowledged this statement, Fu Qian stated that he is not the type of strict mentor.

"But I think I should still thank you for the opportunity you provided, after all..."

With a soft sigh, Serana still insisted on accepting this favor.

As for the part that was left unsaid at the end, it's not hard to guess.

The further temptations mentioned above are only analyzed from the perspective of personal gain.

Don't forget the shadows that were mentioned earlier, and the vampires have long been targeted by the Rebirth Club, finding themselves in the vortex.

In an increasingly perilous environment, it would be a good thing if someone in the family could advance further.

Despite her rich experience, Lady Serana is not dull-witted; she is a person who is always prepared for potential dangers even in times of peace.

……

Darkness is growing.

The night grew even deeper after the vampire lady left.

Looking at the night sky of the capital illuminated by lights, Fu Qian could deeply empathize with Lady Serana's final feelings.

These are turbulent times. How much longer can this night sky remain intact?

For a moment, Fu Qian recalled that long night a thousand years ago.

However, Su Gao is right. All living beings in this world are still struggling. For example, with just a little guidance, Lady Serana has gone off to work hard. Hopefully, she will bring good news later.

Besides, it's almost time.

He stretched and finally stood up, then walked over and changed the side of the "Open for Business" sign.

The chief executive hasn't visited yet, so the side effects shouldn't be too severe.

That's right, this late-night bookstore isn't just catering to one person's business.

I had considered during the mission whether Wen Li's ignition of pleasure would have any side effects.

Especially since the Chief Yuan has just suffered from the effects of the Red Moon, his resistance is even more worrying.

However, since no one has come to the door yet, it seems I can use the Anywhere Door.

Instead of enjoying the time after the business closed, Fu Qian, who had returned to the counter, pressed a finger against the spike and let the blood flow down.

The illusory door suddenly opened, and as the scene shifted, the sensation under my buttocks remained unchanged.

Indeed, Professor Fu, who had returned triumphantly from his scientific expedition, had arrived at his beloved laboratory.
