Volume 7: Luo Sheng's Atonement Record Chapter 42 Negotiation
"Lu Bai?" Uncle Yu said as he picked up the teacup. After looking at Lu Bai with his calm eyes, he began to flip through the report in his hand.
"My beautiful lady, are you free to watch the sunrise with me?" However, Lu Bai didn't even bother to pay attention to his pretentious behavior. He took three or two steps to the side of Venus and started chatting with her.
They have collected a lot of my identities, and my name was most likely leaked from the demons.
Asking to confirm your identity is just putting pressure on yourself.
The interrogator who asks questions in an interrogative manner is naturally in an advantageous position and can more easily establish a psychological gap.
The position difference will bring about a difference in momentum.
If you are a young and inexperienced person who responds to the other person's questions foolishly, you will naturally put yourself in a weak position.
In the subsequent negotiations, you will find that you feel very aggrieved because they do not take your requests seriously, but you care a lot about the conditions they propose.
Negotiation is a science, and there are many ways to gain the initiative.
Although Lu Bai would not be led by the nose by a few words, his skin was thick enough to withstand artillery shells and even heavy weapons bombardment. He was thick in every sense of the word.
But Lu Bai didn't want to be suppressed by others in words.
If you pressure me with words, I will tease your girls.
And while teasing him, he was also looking at the victim Mars.
As Mars, who possesses the attributes of a god of war, Mars is an inherently hot-tempered guy.
When his girlfriend was teased, he felt his face turn red, and then green.
Because when he wanted to make a move, Uncle Yu glanced at him helplessly.
When anger is suppressed, naturally only green remains.
However, Venus did not resist. She stroked Lu Bai's chest with her slender fingers, bit her lips with her teeth, and her eyes revealed a seductive look. At this moment, she perfectly met some of people's requirements for choosing a mate - long and wavy hair.
Especially the last request, Lu Bai could feel the air becoming a little moister.
"Enough!" Uncle Yu interrupted their flirting.
Venus had no choice but to let go of her hand, waved to Lu Bai with a smile on her face, took two steps back and sat down in her seat.
At the same time, he said a few words silently.
Through lip reading, Lu Bai roughly read out information like 523 next door tonight, which was probably the room number.
All this made Mars' face turn green.
If you fall in love with a wild horse, but there is no grassland in his home, then you can only make the grassland grow on your head.
Mars and Venus are nominally a couple, and they have always appeared to be very loving in public over the years.
However, Venus is a piece of shit, she has numerous male lovers outside, she has hooked up with Jupiter in the team, and Mars even senses the possibility of other members of the Eight Stars climbing into her bed.
Mars was extremely angry about this, but there was basically nothing she could do. The most she could do was to vent her anger on her male favorite, but she didn't dare to touch Jupiter and the other eight stars.
Because this is a taboo, they can do whatever they want, but there is only one bottom line, and that is that the water balance line cannot be messed up.
But now, facing Lu Bai, this pretty boy, he was helpless.
The Eight Stars will not be able to take action in a short period of time.
If Lu Bai cannot kill the enemy in one go during this period of time, then there is no need to provoke or offend the enemy.
Uncle Yu can use words to pressure people in order to take the initiative in negotiations.
Mars, however, could not really take action with this.
It can be seen from here that Lu Bai has grasped the weak point of the guard team at the moment, so any further attempts will be meaningless.
Uncle Yu waved his hand as an invitation and asked Lu Bai to sit at the lower seat opposite.
In response to this, Lu Bai did not make trouble like he did before.
After all, this is the headquarters of the guard team and their territory.
There is no need to continue with this boring exploration.
"Hand over Saturn and the Black Lightning Bomb, and we can forgive you..."
"Save this kind of dream talk for your own dreams at night." Lu Bai interrupted the other party's exorbitant demands: "My time is very precious. I don't have the time or energy to argue with you."
"There's no need to say more about these unrealistic words. What I want is very simple."
"Openly recognize the legitimacy of the Mutual Aid Association, do not allow the private capture of Mutual Aid Association members, and provide one thousand A-level to C-level Void Zero Point Energy enhanced files."
"And a story."
"These are all my requests. If you can do this, today's peace talks will be a complete success."
"If not, then I actually wouldn't mind just activating Black Lightning."
"You should know that I am not trying to intimidate you."
"I can recognize the legitimacy of the mutual aid association, but Saturn needs to be handed over." After hearing Lu Bai's request, Uncle Yu was neither angry nor impatient like Lu Bai.
Instead, he calmly gave his conditions, neither too enthusiastic nor too cold, which made people want to get angry just by looking at it.
"I demand nothing less. Handing over Saturn and Black Lightning is ridiculous."
"Bombs only have a deterrent effect when they are in your own hands."
"Deterrence is the basis of balance. You don't want the balance to be broken." Lu Bai said meaningfully.
"But your request has already broken the balance." Uncle Yu said: "I can't give the enhancement file to you."
"It doesn't involve E-level. I can find out those things by myself by catching a few enhancers and studying them for a while. I just don't want to waste time."
"You don't really value these files. D-class enhancers are nothing more than consumables to you."
"What everyone needs is balance, even if it is only a temporary balance. Handing things over to me is your best choice." Lu Bai said very seriously.
"Everything needs interaction to maintain balance. If you just hold the source of danger to threaten, then the so-called balance is just an illusion you maintain unilaterally."
Uncle Yu immediately fought back and grasped the key point of Lu Bai's words.
“You have to give something to ensure that after you get what you want, you won’t ask for more without restraint.”
When facing someone who has something on you, you must never compromise without any bottom line. If you compromise once, there will be a second time, and then countless times.
When faced with domestic violence, gambling, and brother-supporting women, even if you really have no other choice, such as having to compromise for the sake of your children, you must make the other party pay a certain price when you compromise.
People are always eager to get more. You must pay a price the first time to let the other party know that you are determined to fight to the death.
Otherwise you will just be bullied.
Uncle Yu is in the same situation at this moment. In reality, they are now in a passive position and need time, and their understanding of Lu Bai is insufficient.
Lu Bai wanted to bring the Mutual Aid Association to the surface. It seemed like a slap in the face of the guard team, but in fact it would also help them get to know Lu Bai better.
Although those low-level enhanced archival materials are important, they are not drastic.
As for the last story Lu Bai told, no one cared what kind of story it was.
"I want to know what you discovered in that laboratory in the suburbs." At this moment, Uncle Yu did not mention anything about releasing Saturn, but changed the subject and turned to the laboratory in the suburbs.
The place where Lu Bai first appeared had been scanned several times by them.
The remaining clues there have been analyzed countless times.
It was nothing more than the laboratory getting out of control, the imprisoned void monsters breaking out of the cages, causing countless casualties.
It’s just because it’s dark under the lamp, they still haven’t found out who established this research institute until now.
And judging from the traces of destruction there, except for some traces at the gate that they could not understand, most of them were just traces of activities of some C-level void monsters.
If they were just researching these, then why would they deliberately avoid the guards and secretly set up a research institute?
This is abnormal and unreasonable, and the benefits and risks are seriously mismatched.
What this behavior symbolizes is very worth pondering.
Once he is dug out, even if he holds a high position in the guard team, he will have to face things that most of the Eight Sky Stars do not want to see.
What is even more intriguing is that even after their own investigation till now, they still haven’t been able to find any clues.
So he turned his attention to Lu Bai.
The first place where Lu Bai appeared was that research institute. Maybe Lu Bai was created by some research conducted by that research institute.
So far, no one knows where Lu Bai came from.
If the research institute is studying the Star of Destruction, then it does have this value.
However, Lu Bai knew that this was not the case. The most valuable thing in that research institute was C30, a controllable void creature.
At this moment, many people's eyes fell on Lu Bai's face, but Uncle Yu's eyes fell on the other eight stars because he was in the upper position.
He was suspicious of the people in the Eight Stars.
Unfortunately, after these Eight Sky Stars knew that he had some kind of mental infection ability, they all had energy shields on their bodies to isolate themselves from the outside world.
So Lu Bai couldn't directly sense their emotions.
After a brief pause, Lu Bai shook his head and said, "I can only tell you that my presence there has little to do with that research institute."
"If you want some compensation, I'll return the black lightning to you." Lu Bai took another step back at this time.
This kind of performance made Yu Shu and others believe that the things in that research institute were extremely important.
What Lu Bai said was irrelevant was just a lie that both parties knew about.
However, in this case, it would be a good thing to eliminate the black lightning danger source first.
But what they don't know is that C30 is in Lu Bai's hands right now, so it's actually no big deal even if he tells them the truth about the research institute.
The reason why he chose to conceal it was because Lu Bai had no way to directly read their emotions.
But Lu Bai is also a master of micro-expressions.
He already had a rough idea of who had established the research institute.
