I am the one running the game

Chapter 630: Invitation from the Blood Beast Tide

Attending the banquet was the result of Lu Xingshi's careful consideration.

In fact, he had expected that he would be summoned by the mayor of Baikou City.

The first is his body shape, which is very eye-catching. In addition, he is still collecting relevant information on the bone steel system, so it is hard not to be noticed.

"Lord Baikou really surprised me." Lu Xingshi looked the other person up and down.

He originally thought that the other person would be a small muscular woman, but that was not the case. Instead, she was a normal, well-proportioned beauty with a curvy figure.

This made Lu Xingshi feel a little uncomfortable and disgusted.

The Great Witch King of the Mountain of Corpses and Sea of ​​Blood's castration of the Bone Steel System was so serious that there was such a huge difference.

As for thinking that the other person is good-looking? Lu Xingshi has long passed the stage of being influenced by vision. When he sees color, he sees bones, and he doesn't just look at the skin.

Being looked at like a test subject by Lu Xingshi, Bai Kou naturally felt uncomfortable all over, especially since she could not see any depth of Lu Xingshi.

"So what should I be like in your eyes?" Bai Kou interrupted Lu Xingshi's observation and said a polite question.

"At least you should be able to ride a horse on your arm." Lu Xingshi said seriously.

Not to mention other things, this is basically the case for women in the Savage World No. 2, unless they are underdeveloped.

When Bai Kou heard this, his eyes went dark. Where did this barbarian come from?
There is nothing wrong in calling Lu Xingshi a barbarian. After all, he lived in the primitive era of the wild world. Even calling him a barbarian was a compliment to him. He should be called a primitive man.

"Okay, let's get to the point. What does City Lord Bai want to talk to me about?" Lu Xingshi grabbed a piece of very delicate meat. Well, it was indeed very delicate in his hand. He threw it into his mouth and it was not even enough to fill the gaps between his teeth. He swallowed it without even chewing it.

The size of the meat was so big that he didn't even need to chew it.

"I know you are looking for the bone steel formula needed by the Steel Messenger. I can give you one." Bai Kou said.

"What conditions?" Lu Xingshi said slowly. He tasted the delicate meat. Although it was small, the use of spices was indeed much better than that of those primitive people.

Primitive people were already very considerate by not eating raw meat. The most they added as spice was a little salt, nothing more.

"The blood beast tide that comes once every fifty years is coming. I need your help to defend Baikou City."

"As long as Baikou City is not destroyed in this blood beast tide, you can choose any bone steel formula owned by Baikou City." Baikou stated his conditions directly without any hesitation.

Lu Xingshi also knew about the blood beast tide, and Baikou City had already made preparations in advance.

"No problem, but I want to get the bone steel formula in advance." Lu Xingshi began to negotiate the terms.

Of course, he couldn't just agree to whatever the other party said.

The blood beast tide lasts for about ten days, which may be longer or shorter.

The time until the blood beast tide breaks out is still an unknown. It may take several months at best, or only three to five days at worst. Lu Xingshi cannot wait that long.

Once he deciphers the formula of bone steel, no matter how much bone steel formula the other party has, it will be worthless and he will leave directly.

Lu Xingshi doesn’t know how to do that, so it’s very valuable.

Once he learns it, his value will naturally decrease significantly, and Lu Xingshi will simply ignore him.

He is doing this for the other party's good. After getting it first, he is unlikely to breach the contract unless the other party causes trouble first.

To him, the blood beast tide was just a small problem.

There will just be some troubles, such as attracting the attention of the Great Witch King of the Sea of ​​Blood and Corpses.

After all, what the other side needs to kill are living beings, not just on the human side, the death of ferocious beasts is also included, and the battle between ferocious beasts and humans is chaos.

"That's impossible. Only after the war will I let you choose the bone steel formula." Bai Kou refused without hesitation.

When Lu Xingshi heard this, he took a step back in order to obtain the knowledge: "I don't have to choose it myself. You can choose the bone steel formula for me, but it must be complete and perfect."

He doesn't care whether it's his own choice or not, he just uses it as a reference, so he doesn't mind what the bone steel formula is.

"This..." Bai Kou hesitated when she heard this. Since Lu Xingshi said so, she could just give Lu Xingshi the most inferior bone steel formula to fool him.

From the other party's words, it can be seen that he doesn't know much about the Steel Messenger.

"It still won't work. A deal is a deal and it cannot be changed. Once you get the bone steel formula and leave, we won't be able to find you at all." Bai Kou refused again.

Lu Xingshi nodded: "What you said makes sense, so let's forget about the deal."

You can choose to reject Lu Xingshi's conditions, and Lu Xingshi can also choose not to agree to this transaction.

A transaction is not a forced sale. What matters is that both parties are willing.

Lu Xingshi would not indulge the other person just because she was a woman, or touch his nose with a wry smile and then agree.

You don’t even want to give the deposit, and yet you expect him to work hard for you?

"What? You don't want the bone steel formula anymore?" Bai Kou was surprised. She didn't expect Lu Xingshi to refuse. "I do want it, but you want me and the blood beast to fight for a mere bone steel formula. It's not worth it."

"There is more than one city-state called Baikou City, and it is not your Baikou City that has the formula for bone steel. I can completely change to another one." Lu Xingshi was very clear-headed.

He can be replaced, but it is obvious that Baikou is missing such a strong man as him. It is hard to say whether Baikou City can remain safe and sound in the blood beast tide.

Lu Xingshi has a deep understanding of his own strength. Not to mention the blood beast tide, even if the Great Witch King with a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood comes, he can still keep Baikou City.

Just a group of ferocious beasts, even if they were all kings of beasts, Lu Xingshi could hang them up and grill them with one hand, and use the other hand to apply sauce and have time to add more cumin.

Therefore, from the beginning to the end, Baikou City was in the advantage. By paying a bone steel formula, they could get Lu Xingshi to take action. It was a huge profit.

If Lu Xingshi really had to wait until he cracked the bone steel system, the value of the bone steel formula would drop to the point where it would be dispensable to him. Even if the other party gave Lu Xingshi all the bone steel formulas of Baikou City, he would not even look at it if Baikou City was destroyed in the blood beast tide.

Lu Xingshi will only help if it is valuable. If it is not valuable, why would Lu Xingshi help them?

"Wait a minute, half portion. I can give you half portion first, and then give you the remaining half after the blood beast tide is over." Bai Kou thought that he had also given in.

Lu Xingshi smiled and said, "I am not discussing this with you, I am informing you."

"You need my help, not me."

"You need to figure out your own position." Lu Xingshi said disdainfully, then stood up and left.

Bai Kou's face turned pale and blue, and she was obviously very angry about Lu Xingshi's words.

"It would take three days for even a ninth-rank steel emissary to reach the nearest city-state. Not to mention that you don't know the direction, even if you do, you will be drowned in the blood beast tide if you encounter it halfway without the protection of the city-state."

"You are not helping me, but helping yourself. Only by staying in Baikou City will you have a chance to survive this blood beast tide." Baikou said coldly.

In her opinion, no matter how strong Lu Xingshi was, he was only slightly stronger than her.

That is to say, he is only half a step away from becoming the King of Steel, and cannot reach the level of the King of Steel at all.

If he could really be compared to the King of Steel, how could he possibly negotiate a deal with her when he could just use force to get what he wanted?

He didn't take action because Lu Xingshi was not completely sure he could fight against her, so a coalition between the two sides would be a win-win situation.

When Lu Xingshi heard this, he couldn't help but stop and turned around and said, "Actually, I don't have to go to other city-states. I can wait until the blood beast tide breaks through Baikou City and then come to the ruins to find what I want."

"The beasts of the blood beast tide are definitely not interested in the bone steel formula. They are only interested in you."

It doesn’t matter if he can’t find where the other city-states are, he can still pick up relics.

Bai Kou sneered and said nothing. She thought Lu Xingshi was too fanciful.

Even with the help of the city-state I can't stop the tide of blood beasts, how can you survive?
There was no point in talking to each other. Seeing the other party's expression, Lu Xingshi ignored him and left the City Lord's Mansion directly. He did not stop until he left Bai Kou Mansion.

...

"It's time to harvest again." The Great Witch King of the Mountain of Corpses and Sea of ​​Blood noticed that the harvesting rules he left behind were triggered.

"It's a pity that we haven't taken care of it these days. The output this year will probably be much less."

Now his focus has shifted to the new world across the empty vortex. Because of the existence of the Divine Tree Witch King, both sides are now caught in a tug-of-war.

More importantly, they have formed a complete transportation system. It is no longer possible to defeat them one by one as before, and the various royal courts will not have time to send reinforcements.

Now, no matter which royal court he attacks, the rest of the royal courts will be teleported over through the spirit tree totems at the first instant. And it is not just one or two who come. Each royal court has at least tens of thousands and at most hundreds of thousands of people.

Even though the corpse slaves and blood slaves in the sea of ​​corpses and blood are immortal, they cannot withstand being surrounded and beaten.

He has been trying to find a way to break the connection between the various royal courts. The solution is actually very simple, which is to destroy the spirit tree totem.

Of course, this is only a temporary solution and not a fundamental solution. If you want to solve the problem fundamentally, the best way is to destroy the King's Court of the Divine Tree.

But this is more difficult. The Witch King of the Sacred Tree has led his men to raid his base several times, leaving mountains of blood and corpses. Although he repelled them, every time the enemy comes back, it will be more difficult to deal with than before.

After all, they are his past self in this new world, and he understands how great their potential is. Now the other party is turning their potential into strength, and the longer it takes, the more difficult it will be.

The Great Witch King in the Sea of ​​Blood and Corpses even suspected that if he continued like this, the Witch King of the Sacred Tree would most likely achieve godhood. At that time, his only choice would be to return to the old world.

"Great Witch King of the Mountain of Corpses and Sea of ​​Blood, here I come again!!!" came the voice of the Witch King of the Divine Tree.

He was forced to stand up and face the enemy. If he avoided fighting, the enemy would attack his bloody appearance and the sea of ​​corpses and blood.

This gave him a huge headache, and he couldn't find a good solution for the time being.

After all, this is on someone else's home turf, and there are two mysterious forces supporting them.

Fortunately, even if he cannot exert his full strength at this stage, he is still in the upper hand. It is not easy for the opponent to become a god, and the possibility of dragging the opponent to death is as high as 80%.

This possibility will decrease little by little as time goes by. After all, as the opponent's advantage increases, the gap between the two sides will definitely be narrowed.
