After the archive is damaged, I live in another world

to be honest.

Xu Mu didn't have a good impression of Jin Lide - the cost of the "corruption disease targeted drug" was not high, only costing about seven or eight gold coins.

It is just very difficult to prepare. If you are not careful, the furnace and the medicine will be ruined. It requires excellent technology to successfully configure it.

Master Jin Lide, how much does he sell for?

He charges two thousand gold coins for one course of treatment, and it takes three courses to be cured.

This kind of thing...

Xu Mu really felt sick just thinking about it, and had no intention of seeing him at all.

Two hundred, even if you sell it for two hundred gold coins, that would be a lot of profit, right?

Good man, asking for two thousand gold coins straight away, money-obsessed. Xu Mu simply said, "I hate this kind of stinking capitalist with blood in his fingernails. Tell Boss Jin for me—he can't win the Adventurer Cup final! If I ever get a chance to hold Boss Jin accountable, I, Xu, will be the first to hang him from a streetlight!"

"a!"

Gu Zhigong gave a thumbs up.

At the same time, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Jin Lide really wants a team of his own. How could Xifeng and Gu Zhigong not know that?

Although they knew Xu Mu before Jin Lide, Xu Mu was like an abyss, unfathomable and daunting, and they were never able to form a more stable alliance with Xu Mu.

Therefore, Gu Zhigong was very worried that Xu Mu would turn to Jin Lide——

In terms of financial resources, of course Boss Jin, who has a monopoly in the pharmaceutical industry, is more powerful!

How can a mere Young Master Xifeng be compared with such a capital oligarch?

just now.

Alas!

Great!

As expected of Mr. Xu Muxu, he is a man of integrity and righteousness, and he will never bow to money and silver!

Truly, he has the character of an ancient sage!

Gu Zhigong smiled and said, "Then I will reply to him with the same words?"

"can."

Xu Mu stood up and said, "Mr. Guzhi, I won't bother you any more. The Adventurer's Cup finals have been moved up, and I have to go get ready."

Gu Zhigong also stood up and said, "Okay, okay. I'll send a car to pick you up on the day of the finals. If you need anything, just come to me."

"Okay, say hello to Master Xifeng for me."

"Sure. Goodbye."

Gu Zhigong saw Xu Mu out, and when he saw Xu Mu returned home, he immediately got into the car parked in the yard and started the engine.

He didn't notice—

A shadow jumped up silently and stood on the roof without making any sound.

It was the black skirt.

Chapter 129 # 127 The Archon's Ambitions! [10 more]

No. 3 Zhengong Street, in Master Xifeng’s study.

It is pouring rain outside the window.

Mr. Gu Zhi stood in front of the desk and told him everything that happened during his meeting with Xu Mu today.

Young Master Xifeng listened and nodded, not in a hurry to speak.

What the two of them didn't notice was that there was actually a third person in the study—

Black skirt!

Young Master Xifeng has a legendary guard under his command, but unfortunately the legendary guard lacks some experience. Under the premise that the person in black skirt deliberately avoids him, he fails to see through the clues and is allowed to sneak into the study by the person in black skirt.

If the woman in black dress decided to carry out an assassination, the two people in front of her would die silently.

only……

The black dress had no ill intentions, she was just there to eavesdrop.

At the end of his speech, Gu Zhigong sighed for no reason: "Master, you know what? Mr. Xu's reaction after hearing that our Central Land has decided to declare war on the Demon King has once again exceeded my expectations!"

In this regard.

Xifeng was very calm. "I won't be surprised anymore, Lord Guzhi. No matter how Mr. Xu reacts, I think it's all natural! Let me guess... is he a little surprised?"

Master Xifeng, give me your little finger.

"No."

Aren't you surprised?

Xifeng thought for a moment and then asked, "So, he's a little confused?"

"No."

Not confused either?

Xifeng clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Then Mr. Xu will definitely be excited!"

Gu Zhigong shook his head again: "Mr. Xu is not excited. After hearing about this, he cares about when his competition will start!"

boom--

A thunder exploded.

Xifeng's brows twitched, and after a while he said, "What he cares about is...his game?"

Gu Zhigong gave a wry smile: "Yes."

This……

Unbelievable!

Xifeng was unwilling to give up. He asked again, "Didn't Mr. Xu show any uneasiness or caution? Didn't he care about this demon-slaying war, even a little bit?"

Gu Zhigong nodded: "He didn't care. He acted... as if he hadn't heard the news!"

boom!

Another thunder exploded.

Xifeng's face was dazed. He slowly stood up and walked to the window.

He looked at the heavy rain outside the window and said after a long time: "It's hard to imagine!"

Yes.

Hard to imagine.

For Xu Mu, a "player", what is the Demon King?

Not only did he save a demon king, but he also killed three demon kings with his own hands. In his opinion, demon kings were just monsters with higher combat power and stronger vitality. There was nothing surprising about them.

But what about the Blue Star people who only have one life and cannot improve their combat power as easily and mindlessly as players?

The Demon King is an absolute disaster!

They are the military ceiling on the Blue Planet, and one Demon King is as powerful as tens of millions of human adventurers.

Every "war against the devil" is, without exception, a "battle for national destiny." Once failed, the regime will inevitably fall apart and the country will cease to exist!

In the face of such a catastrophe, the key is not how many people die, but how many people survive.

Which victory in the war against demons was not a tragic victory built with the blood and lives of thousands of adventurers?

however--

Xu Mu, Mr. Xu!

When he learned that the demon-fighting war was about to begin, he was not confused, surprised, or excited. Instead, he cared about his game time!

"Is this what a strong person looks like?"

Xifeng raised his hand and pressed it against the glass.

He gave a wry smile, his tone low and his mood downcast: "Mr. Gu Zhi, I am far inferior to Mr. Xu."

Gu Zhigong looked up and said, "Master, why do you say that suddenly?"

"When I heard the news, I felt a moment of fear."

Xifeng's Adam's apple rolled.

He said it with difficulty.

He took a deep breath and turned around. "When I heard about the decision for the three-person tea party... Lord Gu Zhi, I was terrified. I was worried I'd lose my life in the upcoming battle. Our opponents are the Demon King and his followers. This battle... is not on the same level as the ones I've experienced before. But Mr. Xu, how could you remain so calm? I'm far inferior to him!"

what……

Isn't this a matter of course?

Gu Zhigong didn't say anything, but the woman in black skirt showed disdain.

In her opinion, the well-dressed blond young man in front of her could not be considered a strong man. How could he, who was no more than level 70, go against the Demon King?

And he even compared himself to the Archon...

This is really shameless!

But.

The girl in the black dress closed her eyes and thought to herself, "Being able to face up to his own weaknesses and speak frankly about his fears is not entirely useless. Knowing shame leads to courage. If he can muster up the courage again, perhaps he can achieve something."

There was silence in the room.

The rain was noisy.

"...Master Xifeng."

Amid the soothing white noise, Gu Zhigong broke the silence.

His eyes were blazing, his tone steady, "In my not-so-short life, I've learned that three things have a profound impact on a person: talent, opportunity, and hard work. Honestly, your talent isn't great... but if you persevere and wait for the day when 'opportunity' arrives, you might achieve something!"

Xifeng said indifferently, "Don't give me chicken soup, it's useless."

"..."

Ok.

Let’s be honest.

Gu Zhigong coughed and asked, "Master Xifeng, have you ever thought about why Mr. Xu can be so calm?"

Xifeng shook his head: "Why?"

Gu Zhigong asked again, "Have you ever thought about why Mr. Xu came to the Free City?"

Xifeng pricked up his ears: "Why?"

The one in the black skirt also pricked up her ears.

She turned to look at Gu Zhigong and listened attentively, not wanting to miss any word.

Gu Zhigong put his hands behind his back and said, "The first thing Mr. Xu did was to steal the Black Gold Party's secret account book. We launched an investigation into the contents of the account book. What did we find?"

Xifeng replied fluently, "The Black Gold Party colluded with the Northern Lord to secretly smuggle a batch of 'military potions' that are not allowed to circulate on the market. However, so far, we have found no trace of these potions, and naturally we don't know where they are going;"

"What was the second thing Mr. Xu did?"

"We crushed the evil Faros's plot and prevented the ancient demon king from reviving."

At this point, Xifeng gradually reacted.

He hesitated, then said, "Wait... I get it! The trio's tea party confirmed that the Sea Mist Demon King was one of the main drivers of the abandoned Demon King Palace incident, and Mr. Xu once hinted that the Northern Lord had already sided with the Sea Mist Demon King! So... the restricted-grade potion secretly smuggled by the Black Gold Party was delivered to the Sea Mist Demon King?!"

this--

Unbelievable!
