Sanctuary Paradise

Chapter 706 "Win-win Cooperation"

At the Huiyuan Sect's fortress, as the two soul messages that only the two of them could hear fell, the two of them fell silent at the same time. Then Xin Lailai narrowed his eyes slightly and deliberately said:

"Haha, Lord Randy is really good at this. If I hadn't happened to be prepared in this regard, I would have really been in trouble today."

This guy... he doesn't even blink when he tells lies.

Randy looked at the flawless performer in front of him, and glanced at the two tokens that were exposed from his pocket. The corners of his eyes twitched slightly, but his face showed a vigilant and solemn expression, and he laughed:
"Haha, same here. You've mastered the means of transferring cause and effect at the third level. Brother Performer really opened my eyes. Why did you suddenly come to me? Do you want to exchange experiences?"

"Mr. Randy, you are joking. I am just a little worried about your physical condition. After all, a causal attack of that intensity would probably consume a lot of energy, right?"

"Brother Performer, you don't need to worry about this, or are you not sure you can block the second shot?"

"Who knows? I'm curious about how Lord Randy used that trick just now. If Lord Randy doesn't mind, I'd like to see it again."

In the fortress, the man in a tuxedo and mask was seen smiling and communicating with the young nobleman in front of him. The two of them were talking back and forth, and every word they spoke was tit-for-tat, which made the white-haired little girl on the side look anxious. She wanted to go forward and say something to the young nobleman, but was stopped by the young nobleman with his soul thoughts.

"Don't move, Xiaoyun, just continue to command Acong and Ming. This guy is afraid of my causal bomb and doesn't dare to act rashly. But you should try to slow down Acong and Ming's attack and buy me more time! And remember to stay away to prevent this guy from getting angry."

'Okay... okay, Brother Randy!'

The little white-haired girl nodded nervously, moved her legs, and quickly retreated to a distance according to Randy's instructions, fearing that she would become a flaw for the other party to restrain the man in the tuxedo. If she could see the content from the perspective of the young man at this moment, she would find that the other party's thoughts at this moment were completely different:

[Tip: Pioneer Black Sword has sent you a friend request, yes/no to accept]

[Reminder: The friend request from Pioneer Black Sword has been accepted]

...

Randy: "Haha, Brother Black Sword is really good at this. He can actually perform a double act so well?"

Black Sword: "Same here. Brother Randy is not much behind. He has mastered the ability of cause-and-effect attacks at the third level. It's true that he has unlimited potential just as Senior Roland said."

Randy: "Oh, that's enough. We're already chatting privately. There's no need for us to talk about these things over and over again. Tell me, how are you going to solve this problem, Brother Black Sword?"

Black Sword: "Tree of the Void + virtual contract notarized by our two paradises, 4 soul crystals (complete), how about it?"

……

Wow, right off the bat, a hush money worth 1500 million death coins?
In front of the communication channel, Randy looked at the message that popped up in front of him. Looking at the conditions given on it, his eyes moved slightly. After thinking for a while, he replied:
……

Randy: "Haha, Brother Black Sword is really polite. Okay, let's do it this way. Just consider it as making friends."

……

Huh? You actually agreed?

On the other side, Xin Lailai looked at the message that popped up in front of him with a hint of surprise in his eyes. You know, his psychological price was 10 soul crystals (complete).

"As the intelligence said, as long as there is room for easing the situation and it does not touch the other party's bottom line, you will give in first... "

After Xin Lailai took a deep look at Randy who was also looking at her cautiously, she was more certain that it was the right choice to directly "expose her own identity" so that both sides could have a way out, rather than trying to threaten the other party with the safety of the little white-haired girl or self-righteously pretending to be an old coin to fool the other party.

The other party was not a fool. Just based on the reaction just now, he could be sure that if he had any intention of trying to threaten the other party with other things, then he would have to pay a price ten or even a hundred times higher than 4 soul crystals (complete) to settle this matter. In addition, he would most likely add one or even several difficult enemies who could have been turned into friendly forces for no reason.

After all, reality is not a world derived from the decline of intelligence. Those who think they can intimidate or bribe others by finding their weaknesses, and who think they are the only one in the world with a brain and can easily control others, will basically end up miserably.

In other words, a real old bitch will never create enemies that will only bring losses to himself.

Pushing everyone to the opposite side of oneself, making no one dare to trust oneself, and even making anyone feel fearful and wary whenever they hear one's name, that kind of person is not called a pervert, but an idiot.

Then, Xin Lailai replied:
……

Black Sword: "Okay, I'll send the contract to you later."

……

Very good, this settles the matter.

In front of the communication channel, Randy looked at the reply given by Xin Lailai and also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

In fact, not only was Xin Lailai worried that he would do something drastic, he was also worried that he might have uncovered some secrets of the other party that absolutely could not be revealed, or even that would result in a life-and-death struggle if discovered.

After all, just offending a non-level team is enough to give people a headache. What if the one offended is an ultimate old bastard who can play two roles without any hesitation and even fool these rangers and hunters perfectly, Randy feels his head buzzing just thinking about that scene.

"Tsk, couldn't that old bastard Roland have been more clear about it? What do you mean by not making enemies with Black Sword? The difference is that you absolutely cannot provoke him...!"

Randy was thinking, and at the same time, in his mind, he "cordially" greeted a senior who was also a roaming hunter. When the other party came back from the front line and told him that he could make more friends with the Black Sword of the Sanctuary, he thought that the other party simply wanted him to make more friends with his peers. Now it seems that this is clearly a reminder for him not to be killed by others.

"Also, since the performer and the black sword are the same person, how much of the quota did this guy take to get in..."

In the fortress, a trace of extremely strong fear flashed across Randy's eyes. When the Performer and Black Sword were still two people, he didn't think there was anything wrong, but now that he knew that they were actually the same person, many things were completely different.

Putting aside other things, assuming that the abilities of the Performer and Black Sword are actually part of the other party's ability system, it means that what they will face will no longer be a fourth master + an unknown heritage + a layman-level pioneer who understands alchemical biology + a soul master + a layman-level violator who is proficient in alchemical sealing and mechanics, but an outrageous existence that has developed five master-level passive skills + possesses an undetectable unknown heritage + is proficient in at least three types of alchemy. Just looking at the configuration can make people feel suffocated.

"This is fucking hell. He's an agent and a master of extreme skills. Now there's a fifth-grandmaster old bastard. How many monsters have the Holy Land cultivated this time?"

After silently thinking about how strong he would be with five masters + top inheritance + three kinds of alchemy, Randy looked at the performer in front of him whose whole face was hidden under the white smiley mask, and his determination not to engage in a head-on confrontation with the opponent became firmer.

"Well, think about it, at least I don't have to worry about this anymore."

Finally, as if he had given up, Randy checked the virtual contract sent by the other party twice. After confirming that there was no problem, he pressed the confirmation button. He looked at Xin Lailai in front of him when he heard the prompt sound of successful signing, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the process was a bit nerve-wracking, but at least in terms of the result, after confirming that the most shady guy on the opposite side was actually half of his ally, this wave allowed him to sleep peacefully for two nights.

"But... now that this matter has been confirmed, if nothing unexpected happens, the next thing will be the battle for the world."

Thoughts flashed through Randy's mind, and finally all returned to the content related to the world war. As if to confirm his thoughts, a new message popped up on the communication channel the next second:
……

Black Sword: "Brother Randy is really a straightforward person. In this way, we can be said to have known each other for a long time." Black Sword: "Having said that, since you and I are friends on the same front, it would be a bit hurtful to continue fighting like this. I wonder what Brother Randy thinks?"

……

Are we really starting to talk about the world war?

Randy looked at the content on the communication channel, a sharp look flashed across his eyes, and he replied as if he had expected it:
……

Randy: "If Brother Black Sword is talking about me stopping the attack and joining hands with Brother Black Sword to besiege the White Demon, I'm afraid Brother Black Sword will be disappointed."

Randy: "To be honest, although I am not from the same paradise as White Demon, we have already signed an alliance because of our family elders, so he is more or less my half-brother. If Black Sword intends to use me to deal with him, I advise him to give up this idea as soon as possible."

……

Randy replied, with a hint of amusement in his eyes as he looked at the performer.

Although he didn't want to confront the opponent head-on, the current situation on the front battlefield was obviously in his and the White Demon's advantage. Under such circumstances, it would not be easy to make him withdraw his troops and turn against them.

"I just don't know what this guy's psychological expectations are..."

Randy thought, his eyes slightly lowered, and he calculated in his mind how many space coordinates he should need to complete this transaction, but the next second, the other party's reply directly stunned him:
……

Black Sword: "Brother Randy, you are joking. The alliance between Mie Fa and Man You is well known to everyone. How could I let Brother Randy do something against his will? I just said that mainly because Brother Randy and I have a good relationship from the beginning. I just wanted to remind Brother Randy to make a decision while there is still time."

Black Sword: "(Screenshot list.Appendix)"

……

Hmm? Before it's too late?

When Randy saw the reply from the other party, he was stunned for a moment, then he subconsciously looked at the large number of screenshots sent by the other party, and his breathing suddenly stopped there.

In the pictures sent by the other party, tens of thousands of dark silver warships were breaking through the waves from the sea. Huge waves accompanied the entire fleet forward. Behind them were huge industrial bases that were more than a thousand meters wide.

As the screenshot list scrolled, pyroxene factories, pyroxene refining furnaces, and all kinds of outrageous battlefield technologies that they had never seen on the battlefield began to flash rapidly before his eyes, and finally everything stopped at a report sheet on pyroxene resource output.

One...Ten...Hundred...Thousand...Ten Thousand...Hundred Thousand...

Randy looked at the pyroxene resource output table in front of him, which was enough to count millions. After recalling the approximate speed of pyroxene resource conversion in his own camp, he swallowed silently.

……

Black Sword: "In four hours, our new batch of pyroxene resources will be officially transported to our base camp, which is 34,000 kilometers away from here. In the next six hours at most, Brother Randy will be able to witness a mechanical army that is about twice the size of what you see now, and it will maintain this growth rate. Brother Randy, why not think about how much time you have left to make a decision?"

Black Sword: "By the way, I know that Brother Randy still has a few troublesome Overlord-class units hidden there, but we also happened to develop a little thing here. If Brother Randy is interested, you may want to take a look (attached. Screenshot)"

……

A light blue text message appeared at the edge of Randy's sight. Randy looked at the time given by the other party. After estimating the credibility of the other party's words in his mind, his original idea was immediately shaken. When he clicked on the screenshot sent by the other party and saw the content inside, his pupils trembled violently.

……

Randy: "That thing... How many have you made, Brother Black Sword?"

Black Sword: "Not many, only about thirty or so. After all, it needs the improved version of Apollo as the material to make it. It's hard to buy too many of this thing. I'm sorry to make you laugh, Brother Randy."

……

More than thirty pieces...

Seeing the other party's reply, Randy's eyelids trembled violently. After thinking about the probability of them successfully destroying the other party within ten hours with the thing in the other party's screenshot, he silently looked up at the sky and muttered in his mind:

"I'm sorry, White Demon. It's not that I don't support you..."

As long as the power of both sides is balanced, he will definitely give priority to the White Mage with whom he has a substantial alliance. After all, on one side is a fool with only the cool techniques to become stronger in his mind, and on the other side is a super old bastard who is playing a double game in a vest. He can still tell which side is more reliable.

But what I can’t help is... the other side is really open!

So, a few seconds later, Randy calmly looked at the man in the tuxedo in front of him and typed in the communication channel:
……

Randy: "I have heard Brother Black Sword's advice, but White Mage is my ally after all, so I have two conditions."

Black Sword: "Brother Randy, please speak."

Randy: "First, the White Mage occupies 7.9 of the outer-level echelon. It will not be good for us to force him into a corner. Therefore, if there is room for easing, I hope Brother Black Sword will try to leave him a space coordinate, and if possible, it would be best to bring him in to sign a contract."

Black Sword: "No problem."

Randy: "Second, White Devil and I are half brothers. He has cooperated with me many times. I can't bear to see him betray me like this, so..."

Black Sword: "So?"

Randy: "Well, it costs extra."

……

In the fortress, Randy replied righteously on the communication channel, looking at Xin Lailai in front of him with an extremely lewd smile on his face. Seeing this, the crescent-shaped mask on his face also revealed a playful arc.

I saw two different pairs of eyes meeting each other in mid-air, and then intersecting with each other tacitly. I saw the two of them smiling at each other, and a hint of satisfaction appeared in their eyes at the same time, just like close friends who were in tune with each other.

Very good, it has been confirmed that he is someone who can cooperate (work) together (win) (dirt)~!
