Chapter 1151: Chapter 1149 Reasons for Cooperation
This is the confidence of intangible assets!
Facing Lady Vivian’s advice, Fu Qian was full of admiration.
Had the conditions offered been any rare treasures or Transcendent gadgets, she most likely wouldn’t have been so direct.
After all, no matter how small the probability, the risk of being killed and robbed had to be considered.
But methods stored in the mind, trying to copy those is much harder.
Of course, this also implies a problem, which is that it’s very difficult to gain someone’s trust, purely issuing empty checks.
Coincidentally, he had previously obtained corroborating evidence for the existence of this method from both the Cosmic Deity named Blasphemous King and the mysterious ancestor Ji Feng of the Ji Family.
To a certain extent, this advice became far more tempting to him.
But that information is known to him alone, no matter what, Lady Vivian’s confidence might have been a bit too strong.
Additionally, could it be the retribution of the Heavenly Dao? Right after helping someone install an external brain, a Divine Envoy puts forward a similar request.
"I had thought you would offer a way to leave this place."
Not rushing to agree or refuse, the next moment Fu Qian made a surprised expression.
"After all, from our previous communication, I clearly believe you know."
"Heh... That would indeed be a more reasonable suggestion, but don’t underestimate me, human!"
Lady Vivian laughed coldly, speaking rapidly.
"During these long years here, I’ve long learned not to take things for granted. Do you really need it?"
"You said something just now that I remember very clearly—treading such a dangerous place, how could you not prepare an exit strategy early on."
"Entering the Shattered Crown without my guidance and even causing its anomaly, this place can’t really hold you, can it?"
"A Demigod with a clear mind and in top condition coming to a notoriously dangerous place like the Sea of Ashes, the only reason I can think of is to go even further."
"The wound on your arm is bizarre, but not enough to justify taking excessive risks."
"Of course, since I can think of this, it’s very possible I’m just tricking you, and the conditions might just be appealing to your desires."
"Even before you satisfy my demands, I won’t reveal anything to prove the authenticity of the conditions, but—isn’t it worth the risk of being deceived to follow the path of a Divine Envoy?"
Lady Vivian smiled with considerable confidence.
"I know that for you, this path is also very difficult."
"And no matter the condition, these are words from a Second Phase."
"Indicative but rational."
The Divine Envoy online weighed the pros and cons, with Fu Qian listening intently throughout, finally breathing a sigh of admiration, giving an assessment.
"Missing out on this would be a regret for a lifetime, any other reasons?"
"Yes."
Lady Vivian smiled unrestrainedly, her graceful tail flicking, leaving trails of radiance in the air.
And as the radiance faded, it seemed even the space itself was trembling in sorrow.
"Though in poor condition, I am still a Divine Envoy; if you do not accept, I will use all my strength to kill you."
It was apparent that she was a little mentally disturbed.
Fu Qian sighed.
"That also makes good sense."
"It is as it is."
Watching Fu Qian, Lady Vivian seemed utterly convinced he was tempted, continuing to dispel his concerns.
"I can promise that after leaving here, I will separate from you within at most twenty-four hours, and fulfill the promise."
"That will not be easy for me, but on one hand, the shorter the time I use your body, the less risk you take, and on the other hand, in that state, my strength will be far less than now, so if there are issues with the method, I should be the one who is afraid."
"You’re a good businessman."
Finally, Fu Qian nodded, very decisively putting on the glove.
He even chose the uninjured hand to ensure the quality of the container was better.
"Pleasure doing business."
Watching him complete this action, the smile on Lady Vivian’s face bloomed unprecedentedly sweet, finally exuding the same aura as the Fishmen outside.
And with that vast surface area, just about anyone else’s blood sugar might be in jeopardy.
"I will exert some guidance on them, you don’t need to go far to find them, just take a walk around this island."
The next moment, the execution details she proposed were also very considerate, and Fu Qian nodded in agreement.
"Not bad, but have you ever considered that I might be a lunatic?"
Fu Qian displayed the glove with Thanos’s classic gesture.
"Perhaps I have no interest in ascending, and after using it to kill the Fishmen, I might just leave?"
"I haven’t thought of that."
Lady Vivian remained smiling, her tone steadfast.
Alright then.
Sighing, Fu Qian snapped his fingers and turned to leave.
"You can call them now."
...
Everything is under control, huh.
Walking through the dense forest, the singing rose again behind him.
Considering Lady Vivian’s operation time, Fu Qian walked slowly.
Perhaps for the purpose of gathering, the melody was softer than last time.
Of course, it still wasn’t pleasant to the ear.
While listening in compliance, what flashed through Fu Qian’s mind was her performance throughout their interaction.
It was clear that Lady Vivian was quite excited about his arrival.
At first, she even played hard to get, trying to drive him away.
But after insisting on having the exchange, she started a very smooth guidance, achieving this win-win cooperation.
But for Fu Qian, he wasn’t too enthusiastic about this smoothness.
If Lady Vivian had shown more doubts and concerns during the trade, he would feel better about it.
Because that would mean, along with his arrival, there might have been some changes she couldn’t comprehend.
Indeed, regardless of how certain Vivian was, Fu Qian’s target was still the abnormal reaction of the Sea of Ashes to his arrival.
He was not as interested in this deal handed to him on a silver platter as she had imagined.
Too odd, the situation was like looking up a formula for a problem, and then being handed the answer directly.
Although the answer cannot be falsified now, the process of its arrival seemed too convenient.
For instance, the pre-existing Shattered Crown, why did it suddenly include him and his party.
Looking at Vivian’s expression, this was clearly not a common occurrence.
It’s a pity that, faced with such life-or-death transactions, Lady Vivian showed not a hint of hesitation, almost implying that she couldn’t detect anything unusual.
...
Soon, he was not far from where they had landed, through the gaps of the dense forest, he could see the silhouettes of the Fishmen appearing on the sea’s surface amid the singing.
And the Poaching Ship that was frantically dodging.
Fu Qian stopped, the structure of the entire island quickly flashing through his mind.
The next moment, he changed direction, to await another character that might respond to the singing.
