Chapter 928: Chapter 928 — the abacus of the forest!
Upon hearing Wang Baole’s words, the little fatty’s expression immediately changed. He was furious and felt that the fellow in front of him was really too greedy. Other than himself, how could there be such a greedy person in this world!
It wasn’t just the little fatty. The elites outside, faced with Wang Baole’s public offer, all of them looked at the boat that was being struck by lightning. Their expressions were ugly. They didn’t care about the hundred thousand red crystals.., however, they had no choice but to buy it after being blackmailed. This was contrary to their pride. They felt helpless, but at the same time, they were furious with Wang Baole.
However, they had no choice. Five days seemed like a long time, but they knew that with every delay, the chances of successfully reaching the shore would decrease. This was especially so when Wang Baole had flown out of the boat earlier, the speed at which they had sped up previously made them very clear that the other party was not a kind person.
It would have been fine if they had joined forces. However, if they were to fight alone, there was a high chance that they would not be a match for the other party. Furthermore, even if they could join forces, it would not be appropriate to force the other party to help them. Although having more people was advantageous.., however, they were not a team after all, so it was inevitable that they had all sorts of thoughts.
These thoughts quickly flashed through everyone’s mind. Due to their pride, even those who were tempted were unwilling to be the first to bow their heads, so they did not speak.
Seeing that, fatty heaved a sigh of relief. He looked at Wang Baole, and just as he was about to discuss how to ease the atmosphere, Wang Baole also saw the conflicted feelings of the people outside. He snorted inwardly and decided to add fuel to the fire.
“There’s a limit to the number of people that can be carried on the ship, and so is the time I can help. In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, I can only catch thirty of them. If I’m too late, I won’t be able to board the ship. Don’t blame me!”
As soon as he said that, the people outside grew anxious. This concerned the fate of the fallen star lands. They had gone to great lengths in their respective clans and factions to obtain this qualification. If they were to fail because of the 100,000 red crystals.., even they felt that it wasn’t worth it when they returned. Therefore, when they heard Wang Baole’s time limit, how could they not be anxious? Immediately, a voice came from the crowd.
“I’ll buy! One!”
The first person to speak was a skinny young man. He was obviously quick-witted. As he spoke, he shouted out the number. That way, even if more than thirty people spoke at the same time as him.., he would still be qualified.
…
Wang Baole also felt that this fellow was not bad. A gratified smile appeared on his face. Just as he was about to nod his head, the others became anxious as well. Urgent voices sounded one after another, and in an instant, they spread across a large area.
“Buy, two!”
“Buy, three!”
The voices that agreed to Wang Baole’s bid rose to seventy to eighty places in just a few short breaths. However, the numbers that were shouted out did not exceed thirty. Naturally, many of them clashed with each other, even though it caused some internal anger, Wang Baole was still very pleased with such a heated scene.
He was happy, but the little fatty was trembling. He realized that it was not important whether he agreed or not. If he continued to be greedy and refused to give, the consequences could be imagined. Therefore, when the crowd outside reported the number.., without hesitation, he immediately took out a red crystal card from his pocket and quickly threw it to Wang Baole.
“Fellow Daoist, this is the greatest kindness in the world. In order to support you, I, Zhou Linfeng, am the first to agree to this matter!”
After taking the Red Crystal, Wang Baole glanced at the little fatty with a faint smile and let out a long sigh.
“I hope that everyone in the world can understand me as well as you do. How can I, Xie Dalu, covet such a small amount of money? “I am helping all of you. However, the Heavenly Dao has a way of compensating for the loss of humanity. When I act against the heavens, I have to use some worldly possessions to resist the invisible disaster.”
Looking at Wang Baole’s emotional outburst, the little fatty’s face twitched. He thought to himself that Wang Baole was too thick-skinned, and his words were too disgusting. However, he was also able to bend and bend. He was afraid that Wang Baole would go back on his words, so he put on a sincere expression, he nodded continuously.
At the same time, Li Linzi and the others on the boat saw that they could still make money like this. Although they knew that Wang Baole was special on the boat, they were still tempted, especially Li Linzi. He didn’t do it for money, instead, he felt that if he could be like Wang Baole, he could use this opportunity to gain the gratitude of everyone. If it worked well, it wouldn’t be impossible for him to gain the support of hundreds of people in the future.
“Stupid, networking is the most important thing!”Li Linzi narrowed his eyes. He didn’t want to offend Wang Baole too much, so he had no choice but to dismiss the idea of reprimanding Wang Baole to make him look bad. After all, the people outside weren’t stupid either, if he had a way to let them in, then such an act of lashing out at Wang Baole would naturally be a bonus.
However, if he had no other choice but to use his words, then it would be too much of a suspect to give an empty favor. Not only would he not achieve his goal, he would even be looked down upon by others.
With that thought, he stood up abruptly and suddenly spoke to the outside world.
“Fellow Daoists, I am Li Linzi of the Cloud Frost sect. Please don’t be in a rush to pay me. I would like to try and see if people like us who are already on the ship can invite others to board the ship, just like Xie Continent.”
“Fellow Daoists, if I succeed, I don’t expect anything in return. I have already offended fellow Daoist Xie by standing out. If I fail, please don’t blame me.”
Hearing Li Lin’s words, the people outside immediately responded. Their words were filled with gratitude and understanding. Even Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and swept his gaze across Li Lin. He instantly understood what was going on in his heart.
Can I sell it well and build my network? Li Linzi’s plan isn’t bad. Wang Baole thought, a dark glint flashed in Li Linzi’s eyes. After gaining the support of the outside world, he turned and cupped his fists at Wang Baole.
“Thank you, fellow Daoist. Please Don’t stop my attempt!”
His words immediately caused killing intent to flash in Wang Baole’s heart. Li Linzi’s words were extremely vicious. It would have been fine if Wang Baole hadn’t said those words. The resentment of the others towards Wang Baole wouldn’t have lessened, but it wouldn’t have continued to increase.
However, no matter how Wang Baole answered, he was wrong. If he stopped them, his resentment would naturally increase. If he didn’t stop them, he would be helping Li Lin establish his connections.
Li Lin is quite quick-witted! Wang Baole narrowed his eyes. In reality, he had considered pulling people onto the ship to establish his connections. However, he knew that connections were the most stable and fragile existence in the world, the reason why it was considered stable was that if the exchange continued, it would last until the end of one’s life.
Such an exchange was nothing more than emotions, value, and benefits.
The reason why it was considered fragile was that the connections that were not exchanged were just a mirage. They were of little use and could very well become a point of failure!
Therefore, it was not enough to just pull people onto the ship and build connections. Once done, it was equivalent to setting a personal setting for oneself, which required constant effort in the future.
If Wang Baole was truly a prodigy from a major faction, he would naturally have the strength to do it, and he would have the means to make it perfect. However, he was not.
The resources he had in his hands were what he needed the most!
Therefore, in the face of Li Linzi’s act of picking up scraps, Wang baole only smiled and did not speak. He allowed Li Linzi, who was secretly pleased with himself, to step forward and try to pull people in.
The outcome was obvious. Naturally, he would fail. Li Linzi was a little depressed. After all, if he failed, his previous words might be of some use, but it would not be enough to build a network. It could only be considered as having a small foundation.
Seeing that, Wang Baole suddenly spoke.
“Do you want to give me ten million red crystals so that I can help you pull in the people outside for free?”The viciousness of his words surpassed that of Li Linzi from before. After he spoke, Li Linzi’s body clearly trembled, and his expression instantly turned ugly, he was conflicted. Naturally, he wouldn’t take out ten million red crystals in exchange for his connections. He felt that it wasn’t worth it. Therefore, he snorted coldly and ignored Wang Baole. Instead, he cupped his fists at the people outside.
“Fellow Daoists, it’s not that I disagree, but I’m truly out of pocket…”
Even though there was a response, it was clear that the elites in the outside world were a little colder towards the forest. No one was a fool. They had seen clearly what had happened and what the forest was thinking, if the forest had succeeded, it would have been fine, but if it had failed, it would have been useless to them.
Wang Baole’s words had naturally played a part.
At the same time, even though he had offered a very high price, at the very least, he could have succeeded. Therefore, very quickly, the transaction of one hundred thousand red crystals began rapidly.
Seeing that, Wang Baole glanced at the forest and shook his head secretly. If the other party had really agreed, then he would have treated the other party as a person of importance. Looking at it this way, it was just grandstanding.
