Chapter 131: Paling in Comparison

Seeing Wang Xiao’s expression, Zhou Xiruo immediately had an ominous feeling.

The last time she saw such an expression was in Yuheng Academy. After that, Wang Xiao said three sentences, almost angering Li Changshan to death on the spot.

The last time was during the lord competition. After that, Wang Xiao blocked the way and snatched the resources and captain flags of more than ten teams…

In short, every time Wang Xiao revealed such an expression, he would definitely not be thinking of anything good.

“Wang Xiao, you…”

Zhou Xiruo was about to persuade him again, but she did not expect Wang Xiao to have already made up his mind. Before she could finish speaking, he directly retreated from the territory.

“This is bad!”

Zhou Xiruo’s expression changed. She hurriedly left the territory and rushed towards Wang Xiao’s house.

At the same time, Wang Xiao, who had left the territory, took out his communicator. After searching for a moment, he dialed a number. “Manager Lin? I think we can talk about the matter you mentioned previously…”

In the trading market, the Lord’s Shop, the manager’s office.

“Mr. Wang, I knew you would definitely be able to figure it out!”

Lin Xiang laughed and poured a cup of tea made of water-type spirit grass for Wang Xiao. “According to what we agreed on previously, a million yuan as a deposit. After the matter is completed, I’ll reward you heavily!”

Wang Xiao took a sip of the spirit tea and felt his mouth fill with fragrance and his entire body cool. He closed his eyes and reminisced for a while before saying, “I can go, but the price has to be changed.”

The smile on Lin Xiang’s face froze. After a moment, he stretched out three fingers. “I’ll pay for it from my own pocket and give you another 300,000… This is already my limit.”

Wang Xiao shook his head. Before he could speak, Lin Xiang added two fingers, “Increase it by 500,000! If it’s any more, I’ll have to apply for it from the main shop. When the money is in place, I’m afraid the military will have already completed the exploration!”

“Manager Lin, you’ve misunderstood.”

Wang Xiao smiled bitterly and waved his hand. “I don’t want to increase the price. Instead, I want to decrease it.”

Lin Xiang was stunned. “What do you mean?”

“It means that I’ll go to that secret realm, but I’m only in charge of investigating the situation and won’t bring anything out.”

Wang Xiao explained. Afraid that Lin Xiang would not understand, he added,

“Even if I see a scarce resource in front of me, I won’t bring it out.”

Hearing this, Lin Xiang revealed a Imowing expression. He picked up the teapot and poured Wang Xiao another cup of tea. “Mr. Wang, do you think that as long as you don’t take anything, even if you’re caught by the military, it can be said that you barged in by mistake?”

“That’s right.”

Wang Xiao openly admitted that this was indeed his plan.

Although the probability of accidentally entering a large secret realm was very low, it was not completely impossible. With his relationship with Chen Jinrong, even if he was caught, the other party would not make things difficult for him.

However, if he took something from that secret realm, the nature would be completely different.

At the same time, without bringing resources out, the difficulty of the mission would also greatly decrease. Therefore, Wang Xiao took the initiative to lower the reward.

Lin Xiang nodded with a smile. “Actually, there’s no need for Mr. Wang to mention such a small matter.”

This time, it was Wang Xiao’s turn to be stunned. “Manager Lin, what do you mean? Isn’t your goal the resources in the secret realm?”

“That’s true, but our understanding might not be the same.”

Lin Xiang smiled and took out a metal rod from his shirt pocket. “As long as Mr. Wang brings this thing in and activates it, we can still pay you a million star coins. ”

“What’s this?”

Wang Xiao took the metal rod and studied it. When he saw a button, he pressed it. The top of the metal rod immediately bloomed like a flower. It had a stamen that kept flickering with a small red light.

“Activate it in the secret realm and wait for this lamp to turn green.”

Lin Xiang pointed at the red light of the stamen and spread out his hands with a smile. “After that, you can go do your own thing. Or you can directly leave if you want.”

Hearing this request, Wang Xiao’s eyes suddenly changed. “This is a secret realm locator?”

Lin Xiang was shocked, but he quickly smiled. ‘Mr. Wang, you’re really knowledgeable!”

After obtaining Lin Xiang’s affirmation, Wang Xiao’s expression instantly changed. The problem that he could not figure out previously was instantly solved!

When Lin Xiang first invited him, Wang Xiao was already curious. Although the [Large Mystic Realm] was filled with danger, it did not mean that one would definitely die after entering. Why was the Lord’s Shop willing to spend millions of star coins to invite others to explore it?

At first, Wang Xiao thought that it was because of those rare resources that he was supposed to bring out. In order to clear his name, he was not prepared to collect them, so he took the initiative to lower the price.

However, on careful thought, the Lord’s Shop had no way of knowing how many items the people exploring had brought out. The only thing they could confirm was the information inside the secret realm.

However, if the military decided to seal the secret realm in the end, these millions of star coins would be wasted—but with the [Secret Realm Locator], the situation would be completely different.

The [Secret Realm Locator] was a rare technological product on the Blue Planet, and it had always been strictly controlled by the military.

Every time a new secret realm appeared, the military would drop a locator during the exploration. After the logistics department of the Blue Planet received the coordinates of the secret realm, they would build the corresponding teleportation door. If they finally decided to seal the new secret realm, the teleportation door and the coordinates would also be destroyed.

However, with the wealth of the Lord’s Shop, it was not a problem to create a teleportation door. As long as they obtained the coordinates, even if the military finally decided to seal this [Large Mystic Realm], they could still secretly sneak in and continue to collect the resources in those Mystic Realms!

However, this [Large Secret Realm] was the only one Wang Xiao knew about.

Before this, how many secret realms had the Blue Planet military sealed? How many locators had the Lord’s Shop placed? Wang Xiao did not know, but he knew that it was definitely an astronomical figure that shocked his jaw! “So you’ve been doing this kind of business!”

Wang Xiao looked at Lin Xiang with a strange expression, already at a loss for words.

He originally thought that he had already reached the limit of a “no cost business”, but compared to the Lord’s Shop, it simply paled in comparison!

Seeing that Wang Xiao had already seen through the trick, Lin Xiang decided not to hide it anymore. He put on a serious expression and said, “Mr. Wang, do you know what the military’s criteria are to determine the opening or closing of the secret realm?”

Wang Xiao shook his head. Lin Xiang said without thinking, “The criteria for a [Small Mystic Realm] and a [Medium Mystic Realm] are whether a normal level four lord can resolve the greatest danger in the Mystic Realm alone.”

“As for the [Large Mystic Realm] and [Super Large Mystic Realm], the standard is whether a level six lord can deal with them alone.”

“Sounds reasonable.’

Wang Xiao thought for a moment and said. Level six was what separated an intermediate lord from a high lord.

After crossing this line, the number of lords would greatly decrease. Therefore, the normal strength of a level six lord was basically the peak that most lords on the Blue Planet could reach.

In other words, if the danger in a certain secret realm could not even be resolved by a level six lord, more than 90% of the lords of the Blue Planet would definitely die. Naturally, there was no need to open it.

However, from Lin Xiang’s current expression, Wang Xiao knew that Lin Xiang, or rather, the Lord’s Shop, definitely did not think so..
