#329 - Chapter 329 Price and Conquest
“Wu... Wu Wei?”
When Wu Wei's eyes returned to the familiar black-red vertical pupils, Su Yingxue felt that Wu Wei had truly returned.
To be precise, the Wu Wei in her memory had returned.
Because at this moment, the signature evil smirk of the Abyss Overlord was no longer on his face, replaced by an almost severe indifference.
“Hmm....”
“It's me.”
Wu Wei turned his head and glanced at the extremely nervous Su Yingxue in front of him.
“To be precise, I never really left.”
“Then why were you just now....”
“Just the influence of a skill.”
Wu Wei shook his head, feeling a little confused.
A feeling, not knowing whether it was comfortable or painful, lingered in his mind.
This feeling was like the acupuncture used by humans in the past.
At first, there would be pain, but as the acupuncture continued to work and the muscles relaxed, the comfort it brought would quickly make the pain disappear, replaced by long-lasting comfort.
“My state just now was caused by using a skill called Dark Infusion....”
Soon, Wu Wei told Su Yingxue everything about the Dark Infusion skill.
“Is that so?”
“But the.... Abyss Overlord you mentioned?”
“What is that?”
Wu Wei touched his head, saying absentmindedly.
“It's nothing, the so-called Abyss Overlord is just a past ghost.”
“No need to worry.”
Su Yingxue was about to speak when Wu Wei stopped her.
“I know what you're worried about, but there's no need to say more.”
“You don't need to worry about me being possessed or anything, because from the moment I entered this trial, I used this skill and have been continuing its effect.”
“I have to say, this skill....”
Wu Wei lowered his head, his hands trembling slightly.
“Is really too powerful!”
“Because I never felt that I could possess such a powerful calculation ability.”
“When using the Abyss Overlord's thinking, my behavior mode is like opening God's perspective.”
“That extremely cold thinking can be completely described as all-calculating.”
“And this feeling, for everyone's brain, is like a D-grade product!”
“Then what's the price?”
Su Yingxue frowned, advising.
“What is the price, Wu Wei!”
“Any acquisition of power comes at a price.”
“It's okay.”
“Because to obtain this power, I've already paid the price.”
Saying that, Wu Wei raised the Abyss Codex in his hand and smiled.
Just as the two were talking in the corner, the Shen sisters walked over.
“Mr. Wu Wei, we have something to discuss with you.”
At this time, the lords who used to be arrogant no longer targeted and excluded Wu Wei as before.
Many of them had even begun to actively communicate with Wu Wei.
The reason for their change was actually very simple.
Wu Wei proposed a feasible plan and was accepted by everyone.
This is part of "integrating into the group".
Even if Wu Wei had behaved so unsociably and arrogantly before, everyone would turn a blind eye, even treating Wu Wei as a quirky eccentric.
You know, in the era of lords, there were quite a few lords with quirks.
“What do you want from me?”
Somewhat different from before, when Wu Wei's own thinking returned, Wu Wei's way of speaking also changed.
When he spoke, his tone of communication was more direct.
“Uh...”
The eldest sister of the Shen family, a little stunned by the change in Wu Wei's tone, paused.
Fortunately, her sisters quickly spoke.
“We need you to do us a small favor.”
“What kind of small favor?”
Wu Wei looked at the three sisters in front of him, not giving them any good face.
But such a performance made Su Yingxue, who was on the side, feel a lot more at ease.
“It's really just a small favor.”
The second of the Shen sisters said.
“Since we have decided to implement your plan, there is a problem with this plan.”
“That is, because your former enemies of the empire occupy too much territory, we need you to give up a little space for your subordinates.”
“Of course, it's a small amount and no resources.”
“Because we need to excavate in these locations.”
“The following locations are more critical, because these locations can become nodes connecting the entire continent after excavation.”
“But I can assure you that we will not use your territory for nothing.”
“As the price for using the territory, we will pay you a fee to compensate for your losses.”
From any point of view, the Shen sisters' ideas are acceptable.
Because the Shen sisters not only did not forcefully demand that Wu Wei directly give up these territories, but also very gently discussed with Wu Wei, and gave enough compensation when using Wu Wei's territory.
The reason for this is that after Wu Wei took over this group of alien races, his strength was already the strongest among this group of lords.
Although his personal strength was not enough to crush all the remaining lords, the strongest is the strongest.
In a situation where everyone is not so united, Wu Wei, the strongest lord, is enough to have the greatest say.
Just like the real world.
The strongest lords and families are often the ones who make the decisions.
“Okay.”
“As for the price, how do you plan to offer it.”
As soon as money was mentioned, Wu Wei immediately became energetic.
To be honest, if the price was right.
Lacking money, he would even directly sell all the territory.
Of course, that would be very expensive.
“You decide!”
Since the lords using these territories are sharing the cost, the Shen sisters who opened the [Temporary War Council] will naturally not embarrass Wu Wei in terms of money.
Even if possible, they may even take the initiative to increase this part of the price in order to please Wu Wei and obtain greater support.
“If I decide.”
“Then this matter is easy to say.”
Wu Wei smiled.
He likes this kind of thing where he sets the price.
“However, before selling those territories, I still need to make some preparations.”
“Preparations? What preparations?”
The Shen sisters were a little puzzled. Does selling a territory without mineral resources require preparation?
Faced with this question, Wu Wei put away his original smile.
“That's right.”
“Because, I haven't completely turned that group of enemies of the empire into my subordinates.”
“So I need to go there and get their approval.”
Hearing Wu Wei say this, including Su Yingxue, the Shen sisters were all stunned.
Good家伙。
So...
When Wu Wei stopped them from attacking the enemies of the empire before, those damn alien races were not his subordinates!
This damn bastard actually lied to everyone from the start!
