I, Viego, conquer Terra!

It was indeed in Kal'tsit's body.

"It's amazing." Viego took back his hand and explained to Kal'tsit:

"To put it simply, there is a fragment with some kind of power in your body. The power of the fragment has caused some changes to this 'creature' associated with you."

"...In my body?"

For the first time, Kal'tsit showed a look of astonishment on her face.



Chapter 34 W: Strong Hands Split the Skull!

In Kal'tsit's office, the white-haired cat held his head with his hand on his forehead, and it took him a while to recover from the huge amount of information.

"You mean, without my knowledge, a fragment with unknown power entered my body and caused unknown effects on me, while also causing mon3tr to change... Is that right?"

Kal'tsit raised her head and looked at Viego. "What about you, Viego? The reason you can use that kind of power, absorb life, and transform into weapons is because..."

Viego nodded, thinking of the treasures in his previous life's 2TB mobile hard drive, with a hint of sadness in his eyes: "That's a very sad story."

He wasn't prepared to say everything clearly, and there was no basis of trust between them for him to reveal everything to Kal'tsit.

He was willing to go to this extent and tell Kal'tsit about the fragments only because she took the lead in showing him equal trust and sincerity.

In addition, Viego promised Kal'tsit that he would answer as truthfully as possible, so he let Kal'tsit know about the fragments.

——Viego considers himself to be a person who can keep his promises without endangering his own interests.

But this is enough. No matter what, Kal'tsit is considered a high-ranking figure in the Tower of Babel. Saying too much will do more harm than good. It is enough to let her know that there is a fragment in her body. She will definitely conduct research on it out of a sense of crisis.

At that time, as Viego was the one who told her the source of the information and the first person between the two of them to see the "fragment", Kal'tsit would definitely try her best to share the information and results of the experiment with him.

This will also help Viego better understand the material form and existence nature of the Curse of Ruin and the fragments of Isolde.

In general, it is beneficial to have limited communication with Kal'tsit and share information with each other, but at present, when the foundation of cooperation is still shallow, you must not reveal all your cards and intelligence.

Cooperation is like falling in love. First there is the initial stage of getting to know each other, then there is the passionate period of love, and finally it becomes dull. People choose to separate or take a further step driven by "feelings" and complete a deep cooperative relationship.

The most Viego can do now is to be considered as someone who was asked for his WeChat by Kal'tsit while walking on the street. He hasn't even taken the first step yet, so don't even think about the name of his future child.

Kal'tsit nodded in understanding, but did not continue the conversation. Instead, she asked, "So what do you know about this kind of fragment?"

"I'm sorry, I can only use this power. I don't know the specific situation of the fragments... I'm afraid it depends on Dr. Kal'tsit's research. I probably can't provide any help." Viego shook his head and told the truth.

As a person with a modern worldview and scientific concepts, he really hopes to figure out a series of basic details of the Isolde fragments, such as its operating mechanism, material form, property composition, etc.

This would not only help him find the fragments better, but perhaps also help him discover ways to absorb the power of the fragments more efficiently, or even go further and research ways to utilize the power of the fragments and the Curse of Ruin... but that would definitely be something that would happen much later.

Only one piece of Isolde fragment is needed to consume 100 kilometers of fuel. It has now been industrialized and mass-produced. The only one who is hurt is Isolde or something... It's wonderful just to think about it.

"...I understand. If that's the case, there may be some subsequent experiments that require your cooperation." Kal'tsit looked at mon3tr thoughtfully.

"However, Hedley has already informed me of your unwillingness to join the Tower of Babel, so if you can accept it, I will give you a communicator that can send and receive information to me over long distances. We can use this to communicate, how about that?"

Viego interrupted his fantasy in time to avoid saying something shocking. Under the influence of the Ruined King, he pinched Kal'tsit's cat head with a sad face and shouted "Isold, meet me!"...

If you do that, you will definitely be kicked out as a psychopath.

After the previous few "mumblings", Viego had no doubt that he might do such a thing now.

Viego thought for a moment and nodded to Kal'tsit: "Okay, I believe Dr. Kal'tsit will not do anything with the communicator."

He actually doesn't believe it, but he has to say that he believes it even though he doesn't, so that he can feel at ease and the other person will feel comfortable hearing it.

This is the art of speaking for adults.

——What's more, Viego didn't think Kal'tsit dared to do anything with the communicator.

Because although he and Kal'tsit have mutual needs, Kal'tsit now has fewer cards and less information in her hand, and her needs are greater, so Viego is the active party.

As long as this cat head is not too stupid, he will not do something that is easy to be discovered, such as "tampering with the communicator".

To put it bluntly, now Kal'tsit needs to increase Viego's favorability to unlock special events - I mean to get more information about the fragment in her body.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Viego hadn't finished his words, but it was normal to hold back, and Kal'tsit would not give away all of her cards.

The initial stages of cooperation between any two parties are bound to be spent in cautious trial and error, just like there is always a period of adjustment between lovers.

Kal'tsit's brows did relax a little, although the change was very subtle on her always expressionless and cold face, Viego still noticed it.

"Very good. Thank you for sharing the information you know with me. If I find anything later, I will contact you through the communicator. In addition, I will personally increase your 'compensation' by 50,000 as a thank you for helping me."

Kal'tsit used the word "intelligence" and spoke with a slight official tone, but she also explained that she had paid Viego "privately", which was also to show that their cooperation had nothing to do with the Tower of Babel.

If you want to deepen the relationship, all you need to do is reciprocate. You help me and I help you.

It seems that the summary of human relationships and social customs in modern Chinese society can also be applied in other worlds.

Kal'tsit handed the communicator to Viego, then kicked him out of the office and told him to go to the fourth floor to find a Sarkaz named Korsil to collect the compensation given to him by Theresa.

You can take money or exchange for supplies as you like.

There was a staircase next to the office, and Viego went straight up.

He already had some ideas about where this "compensation" would go.

Hedley, Inès, and W were all well-known in the Sarkaz mercenary group. The fact that they were recruited twice by the enemy on the battlefield before was enough to show that their strength was not bad.

Hedley and Inès were obviously not going to give up the mercenary group and disband.

So, Viego decided to make an "investment" in them.

Viego went up to the fourth floor, but didn't find Kal'sil. Instead, he found W standing there in a daze.

"W? Why are you standing here alone?"

“…”W didn’t respond.

Viego raised his eyebrows, waved his hand in front of her eyes, and leaned close to her ear:

"Are you there? Come back to your senses. If you don't, I'm going to touch your black stockings."

W shuddered and finally came to his senses, pinching Viego's cheeks viciously.

"Shut up, Viego, you idiot! I changed into a hospital gown and I'm not wearing any black stockings now!"

Strong hand cracks the skull!

Chapter 35: Are the supplies okay?

"So, why are you standing here alone instead of staying in the ward?" Viego asked W.

Then I got a response that was not surprising at all.

"None of your business?" W was not polite at all. "Don't ask too many questions, Viego. It's not good for you to know too much."

"Oh?" Viego raised his eyebrows: "Okay, let's change the question. Do you know where Kuluciel is?"

"Kuluxier? Why are you looking for her?" W sneered: "So you have an old lover you know in the Tower of Babel?"

"Why, are you jealous?" Viego fought back without hesitation. "This is the first time I know that you can be jealous, W? Unfortunately, I don't know Kal'tsit at all. It's just that Kal'tsit asked me to come to her to get something."

W wanted to say more, but Viego didn't give her a chance and added, "There's also a share for you, Inès, and Hedley."

As Viego expected, W raised his eyebrows, became interested, and stopped arguing with him, and said:

"What are those things? And ours? I know where Kuluciel is. Follow her."

W took Viego around in circles on the fourth floor, and finally found Korsil - a petite Sarkaz woman who wore work overalls and looked like a mechanic.

Before seeing her, Viego thought all Sarkaz had horns.

I didn't expect there are types with only tails and no horns.

"Are you Viego?" Klucie also looked at Viego. It seemed that she had already received the news that Viego was coming. "Theresa told me, do you want supplies or money?"

"Maybe some supplies, some money? Can we see what supplies we can take away first?"

"Of course. Wait a minute, I'll show you the list..."

Kluchil turned around and searched for a while, then handed a list of supplies to Viego:

"Take a look. This thing was made especially for you. Everything that can be exchanged is on it. If you want money, choose the red gold bar. That thing is worth the money. The limit is 250,000. Just choose the things you want."

W curiously approached Viego and looked at the complete list of supplies - weapons, armor, tactical equipment, explosives, marching rations, drinking water, red gold bars...

W watched Viego quickly check off the items on the list, as if he had already decided what to take, and listened to the man next to him muttering to himself.

"Hmm... Supplies won't work? Supplies will work? Too many supplies definitely won't work... But no supplies won't work either... We still need supplies, but supplies definitely won't work."

"Viego, what are you talking about?"

"Ah, nothing much, just some mysterious spells that can summon puppies." Viego replied with a smile, and handed the already checked list to Klucel:

"The items have been selected, 250,000. Some of the items are for Hedley. I have marked them all. Do you know Hedley?"

"Of course I know him. Go back and wait. Within a day, what you want will be delivered to you—and to Hedley."

Klushier looked at the list in her hand and nodded, then turned to count the supplies.

Viego and W turned and left.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand? Viego, what have you done to make Babel Tower so generous that we are even given a share? This shouldn't be the reward for this escort operation, right?" W looked at Viego with some confusion.

"Of course it's not a reward for action. Also, watch your words, Miss W. It's not the Tower of Babel that's generous, but the man next to you who's generous."

Viego pretended to be serious and, as expected, saw the look of astonishment on W's face.

"What? Where did you get the money... Wait, you said you didn't know anyone at the Tower of Babel?"

W was stunned for a moment, then reacted and strangled Viego's neck with a grin.

"You're such a good pretender, kid? You even lied to me that I don't have money and don't know anyone... I think this Tower of Babel is full of your old lovers, right? Tell me the truth, do you have any relationship with that vicious woman?"

"Hey, W, be careful, don't open your wound! Also, I didn't lie to you, I really had no money at that time!" Viego bent over with her head strangled by W. Considering her status as a seriously injured person, she did not dare to struggle hard.

However, what he didn't expect was...

"W, I didn't realize you were so good. You look almost as good as Inès..."

And who is that "fierce woman" referring to? Is it Kal'tsit?

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me what's going on. Did you sign some kind of indenture with Babel?" W was unmoved.

"So you are worried about me, W?" Viego raised his eyebrows. "I am so moved that I want to cry. Are you rewarding me now?"

"Don't disgust me, Viego, just speak!"

He explained in the shortest possible words why he was able to get so much - Theresa asked him to do a difficult task, he completed it, so he got a reward of 250,000, it was that simple.

Naturally, the part about Kal'tsit was omitted.

After hearing this, W let go of his hand and stared at Viego. "Then why did you share your things with us? These are all your own things."

"I still owe you money, don't I?" Viego raised his eyebrows.

"I owe you three hundred thousand. Saving your life will equal one hundred thousand. Now I will pay you another one hundred thousand. I will find another chance to save your life with the remaining one hundred thousand. As for Hedley...just think of it as me investing in the mercenary group. They must need this now."

"Also, W, I haven't told you before that I won't stay in the mercenary group."

"Oh, so you want to stay at the Tower of Babel?" W said, and then shook his head. "Forget it, I guess you won't stay... You want to leave alone?"

"Oh, you guessed so accurately? W, I thought you were secretly observing me and had already fallen in love with me, right?"

W: "Viago, don't disgust me."

She was silent for two seconds, then said, "I will stay at the Tower of Babel."

"Oh? That's good. At least Babel is big and powerful, so there are enough bombs for you to use, right?"

"Hmph..." W snorted, and suddenly pulled Viego downstairs and walked towards her and Ines' ward.

Walking to the door, W said something and walked into the ward.

"Wait for me here, don't come in!"

“?” What the hell is going on?
