Volume 6: Fighting for the World Chapter 302 A deal that had to be accepted
That's true. A lot of my equipment was obtained through trade with them, and I have fought with them many times, so there are almost no secrets. If you use them as a reference, they should be able to infer that my basic mental attribute has broken through the normal seven-color limit and reached the super silver level. "Qiu Shui asked me to participate in the deployment of the 'Dead Spirit Space Teleportation Magic Array', so what benefits can I get?"
“A-Dai, you are no longer as innocent as before. You seem to be more and more greedy. No matter what happens, you always think about how you can get more advantages.” Qingwu Feiyang gave me a look with a half-smile.
"This is what they call "birds of a feather flock together." I've been hanging out with smart people like you all day long and dealing with you for such a long time. If I don't make any progress and don't learn more about how to behave in society, then I'd be really stupid." There's no other way. I'm tired of the poor days in the past, and I also want to take advantage of this rare period of good times to gain more benefits. I have to try my best to lay a solid foundation for a better life in the future.
"Didn't you notice? In fact, being invited to participate is a great benefit in itself. According to the settings, only the twelve undead wizards who participated in the deployment of the 'Dead Space Teleportation Magic Array' are eligible to use the teleportation magic array, and other undead wizards cannot use it. At least they can cross the 'Dragon Bone Mountain' in an instant and travel between the two continents, which can save a lot of time. If there were not so many restrictions, only undead wizards with top strength could cross the 'Dragon Bone Mountain' and teleport a longer distance. Why would Qiu Shui Changtian invite outsiders like us to participate in the deployment? He must have given priority to his trusted brothers."
I have to admit that what Qingwu Feiyang said is indeed quite reasonable. For us necromancers, there are many spheres of influence in the vast "dead space" that need to be taken into account. We have to travel back and forth, which does consume a lot of time. If there is a long-distance teleportation magic circle, it is definitely what we dream of. I think if it were not for the fact that the "dead space teleportation magic circle" must cross the "Dragon Bone Mountain" to be deployed, there must be a participating necromancer with a basic spiritual power attribute of super silver level, and I am the only necromancer who meets this condition. In addition to Qiu Shui Changtian's many development projects in the Lost Continent, the second forbidden area "bottomless abyss" on the other side is also his interest that cannot be abandoned. He needs to focus on it and requires that the teleportation magic circle must cross the "Dragon Bone Mountain". I am afraid that Qiu Shui Changtian will not ask me, an outsider with a conflict of interest with him, to participate and help to obtain the right to use the "dead space teleportation magic circle". However, Qiu Shui Chang Tian's plan to send me off so easily, as if he was taking care of me and I should thank him, was too simple. It might be okay to coax the old me, but it was impossible to seduce the current me. Anyway, we didn't have much friendship, so we just talked about the benefits directly. As A Feng and Xue Wu Xia said, this is the underlying rule of the game. As long as I have the initiative and there is a possibility of a transaction, I can ask for a high price, and the other party can also bargain to reach a consensus. Everyone is for their own interests, with fewer concerns, and can be more direct than in reality, without any embarrassment.
"Is this your idea or Qiu Shui's? Or did you reach a consensus first, so you came to me?" Qingwu Feiyang almost always came to talk to me about anything related to Qiu Shui Changtian. If there were no corresponding benefits, it would be hard to imagine that she would be so enthusiastic.
Facing my somewhat thorny words, Qingwu Feiyang didn't take it seriously, and Yi'ao smiled sweetly, "Look at what you said, it seems that Qiushui and I teamed up to bully you. You are really getting more and more cunning. Don't worry, I was just entrusted by Qiushui to convey his intentions and act as a middleman, hoping to earn a little hard work fee. If you two were to talk face to face, two grown men with their own self-esteem, if you were both angry, it would be easy for the talks to break down completely. If the cooperation fails, everyone will suffer. I am also very interested in the 'Dead Space Teleportation Magic Array', and I want to get more benefits for myself. Anyway, The 'Bottomless Abyss' is a place where Qiu Shui must set up a teleportation magic array. None of the four of us have the ability to take down the Abyss Dragon Clan alone, so we have to jointly develop it, and I have to be involved. I have my own interests in it, so of course I hope you can also participate, but the control is in the hands of Qiu Shui, and only he has the ability to set up a teleportation magic array. The main benefits must belong to him. If you have any other requirements, you can raise them, and I can relay them to Qiu Shui. It's better to have a chaotic situation. Maybe I can get more benefits from it, and I won't ruin your good things."
Taking advantage of both sides is indeed Qingwu Feiyang's habit. With the help of her identity and gender, or her personality, she can do these things with ease. Every time she intervenes in the middle, she basically gets extra benefits. Unfortunately, Qiu Shui Changtian and I don't like each other and have many conflicts. It is really not suitable to contact each other face to face. She is the most suitable candidate. The reason why I said that was purely for testing. The main intention was to make a warning, let her make her position clear, and also to pave the way for the next topic. Don't worry about what you want to say, just say it directly.
"There is no problem with participating in the deployment of the 'Dead Space Teleportation Magic Array'. This is a win-win situation, and I will naturally not refuse. However, I would like to be allocated several locations for the deployment of the teleportation magic array. Qiu Shui is definitely planning for himself and will deploy it within his sphere of influence to facilitate his development, which may not be suitable for my needs. According to your previous introduction, the teleportation magic array can only teleport the undead wizard himself, and the undead subordinates cannot pass through. I have a rideable pet for transportation, and it would be quite troublesome if the ride could not keep up with my movements. At least you should set up a few teleportation magic arrays for me where I need them."
Qingwu Feiyang chuckled, "You are really asking for too much. You asked me to set up a few teleportation magic arrays for you. You are really evil-minded. If Qiushui heard it, he would be furious. But it's also my fault that I didn't explain it to you in advance. Although Qiushui has mastered the production technology of the 'Dead Space Teleportation Magic Array', he can't set it up unlimitedly. He can only set up six teleportation magic arrays at most. Let alone several, he probably won't easily transfer the right to set up even one. I also tried to ask Qiushui to obtain the right to set up a teleportation magic array, and even to pay other benefits for the transaction, but he flatly refused, claiming that it was not for sale and he himself didn't think it was enough."
Qiushui Changtian can only set up six teleportation magic arrays. The price I asked for was indeed too high. I felt a little embarrassed and rolled my eyes at Qingwu Feiyang. "Why didn't you explain it earlier? How about this? Tell me everything you know about the 'Dead Space Teleportation Magic Array' so that I can have a general understanding and then see how to bargain . If the location is too remote and the teleportation distance is not too far, it would be more convenient for me to travel normally on my pet."
"In fact, you have grasped the key point of the problem from the beginning. The most critical part of the 'Dead Space Magic Array' is the location of its deployment. In particular, there is a limit on the number. Even if you master this technology, you can only deploy six teleportation magic arrays at most. The specific deployment location is increasingly important to different undead wizards, and it will definitely be more convenient for some people. It is precisely because of such great use value that Qiu Shui will not easily transfer the right to deploy the teleportation magic array, and wants to deploy it in a location that is as convenient as possible for him to act. Qiu Shui came to you mainly to use your basic mental power attribute that has reached the super silver level to deploy two teleportation magic arrays from The teleportation magic circle from the 'Bottomless Abyss' across the 'Dragon Bone Mountain' to the Lost Continent. This is the most time-saving and quickest way. Otherwise, given the tense relationship between the two of you, he will definitely not let you share the benefits of the teleportation magic circle. You are the only one who has this qualification at the moment in Tianxia. This is also your biggest asset. You can use this to bargain with Qiu Shui and see if you can get more benefits. Like other necromancers, most of them are replaceable. He can use his trusted brothers to participate in the deployment. At most, the basic mental power attribute is slightly lower, and the distance that can be teleported is slightly affected. The choice and decision are in his hands. "
"Regarding the technology of the 'Dead Space Teleportation Magic Array' itself, in addition to the limitations mentioned above, there are some other requirements. The deployment of each teleportation magic array requires thirty-six holy magic crystals of dark sacred beasts. Each participating undead wizard uses three, and they must be dark sacred beasts that they have killed personally. The holy magic crystals must be accompanied by their own auras. Bought ones will not work. This requires each of the twelve undead wizards to challenge the dark sacred beasts at least three times. Fortunately, the strength of players has increased a lot now, and killing sacred beasts is no longer that difficult. There is no need to mobilize a large number of troops and go to war. It is a low-input and low-output action. It just takes a little more effort, which is not a big deal. Compared with the benefits of deploying a teleportation magic array, it is still very cost-effective. At the same time, there are certain restrictions on the use of the teleportation magic array. It cannot be used continuously. After teleporting once, , at least six hours must pass before the teleportation magic circle can be used again for teleportation, which makes the location of the teleportation magic circle even more important, and is directly related to the issue of whether it is convenient to use. Qiu Shui will definitely not easily transfer the right to set up. In addition, all the teleportation magic circles in the 'Dead Soul Space' can be connected, regardless of whether they are set up by the same undead wizard or not. As long as you participate, you can directly teleport in any of them. This will naturally make every undead wizard want to participate in the setting up of as many teleportation magic circles as possible, which will make their actions more convenient in the future. As for the specific transmission distance of each teleportation magic circle, it depends on the total value of the basic mental power attributes of the twelve undead wizards who participated in the setting up. If the value is higher, it will have a certain bonus effect and can be teleported to a farther distance. There is no way to measure it specifically, but it is definitely that the stronger the participants are, the better."
"You know it very clearly. Have you dug out all of Qiu Shui's secrets?" It sounded as if Qingwu Feiyang had mastered the technique of setting up the "Dead Space Teleportation Magic Array" himself.
"Since you have decided to participate, how can you not understand the details? In order to show your sincerity, Qiu Shui has nothing to hide. Sooner or later, we will know it."
There are many restrictions, but overall there are still many benefits. Especially if more undead wizards master the deployment technology of the "Dead Space Teleportation Magic Array" in the future, and even if I master it myself, the teleportation magic arrays involved in the deployment will be interconnected and can go straight back and forth, which will indeed bring considerable convenience to my development. "In that case, I can't go too far. Qiu Shui of the 'Bottomless Abyss' on the 'Dragon Bone Mountain' side must deploy a teleportation magic array. That is your sphere of influence. It is not very useful to me, but the location of the teleportation magic array deployed on the Lost Continent side must be carefully studied. We can't let Qiu Shui control it and set it up in his sphere of influence or close to his sphere of influence. We must comprehensively consider the actual situation of us participants, and it can't be too far away from our sphere of influence. We should discuss together and deploy it in a middle place that is more convenient for everyone to use."
Qingwu Feiyang nodded, "Of course this is the best, but I am insignificant and have no right to bargain with Qiu Shui. I can only rely on you to fight for it with all your strength."
"Also, I must be given the right to set up the teleportation magic circle. I will decide the specific location of the arrangement, and I must also be given a few spots for the participating necromancers."
Qingwu Feiyang couldn't help but frowned when he heard this, "Didn't I tell you that Qiu Shui would definitely not agree to transfer the right to set up the teleportation magic circle? You don't intend to fall out with him and don't want to participate in setting up the teleportation magic circle, do you?"
"How could that be? I am really sincere and want to facilitate the deployment of the teleportation magic circle, but you must give me the right to deploy it. This is my bottom line and there is no room for negotiation." For my next development consideration, I must strive for the right to deploy a teleportation magic circle. It would be fine if I didn't have it before, but now such a "modern" means of transportation has appeared. It would be too stupid not to use it as much as possible to serve myself. I have no choice but to do it. Maybe I will need it soon. According to the latest news reported by the expedition team I sponsored, traces of undead knights have been found in the depths of the Lost Continent. Different from the dark knights and horror knights of the native continent, they are stronger, with multiple different types, and their number is also increasing. They should be gradually approaching the goal. At least it will be a relatively large settlement of undead knights. Preliminary judgment shows that it should have good development prospects. At present, the expedition team has assigned special personnel to focus on exploring and collecting information about undead knights at my request. I believe that further detailed information will be available soon. At that time, it may be time for me to take practical action. However, that place is deep in the center of the Lost Continent and is too far away from my range of activities. Even if I ride Taotao, I need to travel for several days to get there, which takes a lot of time and is extremely inconvenient. I had been considering whether to spend some of my merit points in exchange for two pseudo-artifacts "Space Beacons" for long-distance fixed-point teleportation to reduce time consumption. Now that I have a more convenient and faster teleportation magic circle, it is just right for me to develop that area, and I have to try my best to get it.
Qing Wu Fei Yang looked embarrassed and smiled bitterly, "Then what conditions have you decided to pay in exchange for Qiu Shui? You are not going to rely on your basic spiritual power attribute reaching the super silver level as a threat, right?"
"Let's trade fairly. I certainly won't ignore the rules and use this to force Qiu Shui to submit. And relying on this alone may not be enough to force Qiu Shui to surrender. In fact, I have also obtained a new item, called 'Promotion Pill', which can raise the level of undead creatures by one or two levels or even one level. I plan to use it on the blood lich Temur, and I am sure that Temur's level will be raised by one level. This will also enhance the ability of 'Blood Transformation'. Not only me, but you, Xinbitiangao, Qiu Shui and Tianxing can also increase some of the basic mental power and even the duration of the 'Blood Transformation' and benefit from it. If I use this as a trading condition, it shouldn't be considered as taking advantage of Qiu Shui."
"Oh, 'Advancement Pill', can we necromancers obtain items with such functions?"
"Don't doubt it. Would I lie to you? The effect of the 'Upgrade Pill' is much faster than that of the 'Dead Space Teleportation Magic Array'. As long as Qiu Shui agrees to the conditions, I guarantee that it will be fulfilled within one or two days. You can see the effect of the Blood Lich Temur's level increase. This is a bargain for you for free."
"How could I not believe you? It's just that recently there have been some rare and strange things with functions and uses, which made me sigh at your good luck. But if the blood lich Temur takes the 'Promotion Pill', you will still get the most benefits. Qiu Shui will definitely not agree to such an exchange. It's up to you to use it or not. He didn't ask you to give the blood lich the 'Promotion Pill'. In the end, unless you are willing to give up this opportunity, we will inevitably benefit from it. You don't think he can't see through this, right?"
This is also the biggest weakness, and I have always been worried about it. I don't know how to get some justice. Fortunately, I finally figured out a way to deal with it. If Qiu Shui Chang Tian dares to be stingy, I will cut off his funds, and he will never take advantage of me. "Then you can tell Qiu Shui that the last time he traded with me was the 'blood transformation' ability that the blood lich normally grants. If he doesn't agree to my conditions, then I naturally have no reason to share with him the relevant benefits of the 'promotion pill' that I finally got. I will return the equipment he used for trading to him, and then help another great blood lich kill Temur and become a new blood lich, abolishing his 'blood transformation' ability. After I let the new blood lich take the 'promotion pill' to upgrade his level, if he is still interested in obtaining the 'blood transformation' ability, we will discuss the trading conditions for the new 'blood transformation' ability. If he is unwilling to buy it again, I think Yeyou and Longma Jingshen will also be very interested in the 'blood transformation' ability and should be willing to invest. I won't worry about not finding buyers. We all buy and sell openly, and trade fairly. He doesn't want me to take advantage, and I don't want to do a business that loses money."
"You are really ruthless. You won't let go of any opportunity to gain advantage. You can even think of such a radical method. Qiu Shui must be very angry with you."
"I am a small business with limited funds and profits. I cannot compare to you big bosses with deep pockets, so naturally I have to be thrifty and haggling. In fact, Qiu Shui will not suffer much. The so-called right to set up the teleportation magic circle is also indispensable to him. No matter where it is set up, he can also use it. The place where I am willing to set it up must be a Feng Shui treasure land with good development prospects. He can also make money and maybe even have an additional source of development. In the long run, it is a win-win situation for both sides. Even if we go our separate ways, it will definitely not be a big loss for me. Let Qiu Shui think about it carefully, and you can help to persuade him. I believe he will make a wise choice."
If Qiushui Changtian and I can reach an agreement and promote cooperation, Qingwu Feiyang will definitely be able to gain more benefits. I discussed some specific details with her, focusing on the detailed functions of the "Promotion Pill", guaranteeing that after taking it, the level of the ninth-level intermediate blood lich Temur will be upgraded to the tenth-level intermediate, and then she will go back to tell Qiushui Changtian about my cooperation conditions. I don't want to be led by him by the nose and let him manipulate me. No one owes anyone anything. If you want to get benefits, you have to invest some capital. Anyway, I am an undead wizard with a riding pet, and my situation is much better than theirs. Even if I am no longer allowed to participate in the deployment of the teleportation magic circle, it will not affect me too much.
In this case, I have to put the matter of letting the blood lich Temur take the "promotion pill" on hold for the time being, and see what Qiu Shui Chang Tian's attitude is. If he dares to be aggressive towards me and refuses to give in, and makes me angry, at worst we will break up, and I will use this as an excuse to let the blood lich I have subdued kill Temur and take over as the new blood lich, abolishing his "blood transformation" ability, and not wanting to give me the right to set up the teleportation magic circle, then he can forget about profiting from the "promotion pill" for nothing.
There are still two "promotion pills" left, but I can't find any undead creatures suitable to take them. The effect of "Blood Bat Transformation" has no direct relationship with Bat Demon Tika, so there is no need to waste a "promotion pill" to upgrade its level. The goal of the Great Pharaoh Khufu is to become the Pharaoh. With the "Thousand-Year Fire Lotus" and "Ten Thousand-Year Fire Crystal" and other natural treasures, plus my cooperation, it is enough to help it defeat other competitors. Now it is promising. Moreover, based on the same principle as Shaman, once it takes the "promotion pill", it is likely to lose the qualification to become the Pharaoh, and it is also not suitable to take it. As for other volcanic undeads such as Guben and Tambizi, these promising ones have the attributes of growth and evolution, and can evolve to the upper level of level ten by themselves, so there is no need to take the "promotion pill". And Ibola and Wuma can evolve into the ultimate knight of destruction beyond the upper level of level ten. Taking the "promotion pill" will hinder their future. Other undead minions like the Undead Ghost Phoenix, Eight Extreme Demons, Black Dragon King, Giant Magician, etc. also feel a bit ordinary, and it is not worth wasting a "promotion pill" to cultivate them. I can only temporarily store the two "promotion pills" to see if I will encounter more valuable undead creatures in the future. After upgrading their levels, they can effectively play a greater role.
After learning about the transaction requirements I conveyed through Qingwu Feiyang, it is said that Qiushui Changtian was furious at my despicable behavior of "taking advantage of the situation" and "raising the price", and he was about to turn against me. However, he calmed down later and after serious consideration, he did not close the door to cooperation. He decided to meet with me in person to discuss the details of the cooperation. Of course, I would not refuse. However, no matter how eloquent Qiushui Changtian was, how he explained the benefits and disadvantages, whether he played the good cop or the bad cop, I insisted that he must obtain the right to set up a teleportation magic circle. No matter how far the distance is, as long as it is within the effective teleportation distance, he must go with me unconditionally. The benefits brought to the blood lich Temur by the "promotion pill" cannot be taken for nothing, and he can also come and go freely through the teleportation magic circle and develop the newly discovered area with me. Anyway, the expedition team has not yet explored the specific situation of those undead knights, and cannot finally decide whether it is worth setting up the teleportation magic circle and the actual location of the layout. I have time to wait, and he must be more anxious than me. Of course, I would also put some pressure on them appropriately, and show that I would not hesitate to return the equipment from that transaction, kill the blood lich Temur, and abolish his and Tianxing's "blood transformation" abilities, urging him to make a decision as soon as possible, whether to keep it or refund it, so that it would be easier for me to decide on countermeasures and contact new buyers again.
Two days later, Qiu Shui Chang Tian finally couldn't stand it anymore. With Tian Xing and Qing Wu Fei Yang also making some concessions, he had to compromise with me and reached a cooperation agreement. I first let the blood lich Temur take the "promotion pill" to let him see the effect of the enhanced "blood transformation" ability. At the same time, he must unconditionally support his work in setting up the teleportation magic circle. If there is a need in the future, no other conditions can be put forward. I got the right to set up a teleportation magic circle as I wished. Both of us gathered six undead wizards to participate. The first teleportation magic circle set up in the Lost Continent was not located in his sphere of influence, but in the middle area, which was convenient for us to use.
