The Rich Prince Along for the Ride!
"Prince Singh? That Three Prince Singh?"
Kim Geun-seok looked speechless.
He naturally knew this Prince Singh; he was a Brahmin prince from the Indian -India Settlement, known for his immense wealth and power.
The Kim family is indeed very wealthy, but compared to Prince Singh, they pale in comparison.
Those A San people are all incredibly wealthy; they use points to buy all sorts of technology. As long as you're willing to sell, there's nothing they can't afford.
Most importantly, this Singh is ranked higher on the Hero Ranking; he has fallen to 51st, while Singh remains consistently at 48th.
It was even above the Lin Ye.
Little did anyone know that Singh was a complete incompetent fool, utterly lacking in Instance design skills.
Even so, he still ranks in the Top 50, which shows how rich he is; he's practically rolling in money.
Although I know this guy doesn't have any real skills, according to the established rules of the Instance, those with higher levels do have command authority.
Now that Singh is opposing it, there's definitely something to it.
"Why is he everywhere? Why is he in this Instance too?"
"Young Master... he said he enrolled himself."
Kim Geun-seok was a little overwhelmed, but he managed to keep his composure.
"Go and invite Prince Singh over. Remember to invite him over with utmost respect, showing the courtesy due to a prince."
Despite his disdain, Kim Geun-seok knew that Singh possessed a wealth of good weapons, possibly even more than he did.
If Singh can cooperate well, the chances of breaking through the Instance will greatly increase.
At this point, it's necessary to show goodwill to such a foolish and wealthy person; who knows, the Kim family might need them in the future.
Soon, a strong aroma of curry wafted in through the crack in the door.
Prince Singh, adorned in gold and silver, swaggered into the President's Office at the Black House.
"Prince Singh, it's been a long time."
"I never expected you to be in the Instance too." Kim Geun-seok forced a smile and extended his hand to Singh.
"Heh, Young Master Kim, you certainly have quite the airs. Are you admitting that you're the Commander-in-Chief of this Instance?" Singh plopped down in the chair opposite Kim Geun-seok and shook hands with Kim Geun-seok in a rather lazy manner.
"Prince Singh, you should know that this Instance is a duel between me and Lin Ye. Who is more suitable to sit in this position than me?"
"I'm actually quite curious why Prince Singh is in this Instance. Don't tell me it was randomly selected?"
"That would be incredibly unlucky for you."
Singh pursed his lips, then took out a small teapot from his waist and began to drink the golden masala tea, a beverage reserved for the A San people royal family.
"Let me tell you, I'm actually just here for tourism."
"Is that not allowed?"
Upon hearing this, Kim Geun-seok gave an awkward, forced smile.
Someone actually visits another player's Instance? That's outrageous! And it's Purgatory-level Instance, even if you're rich, you can't play like this.
"Prince, you're joking..."
"I'm not joking." Singh smiled smugly. "The royal family has given me a purchase list, and soon my Brahmin Royal House will be purchasing a batch of weapons and technology from Lin Ye at a high price."
"I entered the Instance this time to see for myself what Lin Ye's weapon is really like. After all, experiencing it firsthand is much better than watching it on Livestream Room."
Kim Geun-seok's face darkened, but he managed to suppress his rage.
So, while he was engaged in a decisive Instance with Lin Ye, this guy was just sightseeing and doing some shopping on the side.
In terms of sheer disgust, the A San people are no less disgusting than the Goryeo people.
"However... there are always unknowns in business. If Young Master Jin is capable of clearing the Instance, then I can save a lot of points, which is actually not bad."
"I want to hear Young Master Jin's strategic plan now. Don't be like that Itō Hidetaka from before, all talk and no action, who caused me a lot of trouble back then."
Upon hearing Singh's change of tone, Kim Geun-seok began to formulate his own plans.
The purchase of weapons and technology requires a willing buyer and a willing seller. Singh may want to buy technology, but Lin Ye may not necessarily sell it to him.
This guy's entry into the Instance this time is more likely aimed at reaping the benefits and obtaining Lin Ye's technology by conquering the Instance!
They're all incredibly cunning.
However, at this point in time, it's not that we can't use each other's resources.
Having another arsenal is always a good thing.
"Heh, Prince Singh, comparing me to Itō Hidetaka is the biggest joke in the world."
"What is Itō Hidetaka? He's just a Level 2 trash. You and I both know that. He's just a tool cultivated by the Dahe Settlement."
As he spoke, Kim Geun-seok slowly walked to Prince Singh's side and whispered in his ear:
"This time, my battle plan is Aerial Warfare..."
Afterwards, Kim Geun-seok told Singh about his battle plan and battle analysis.
He didn't expect that a simpleton like Singh could fully understand; just getting the gist of it would be enough.
What he wanted to demonstrate was more of a strategic and commanding presence.
Sure enough, Singh initially looked disdainful, but as Kim Geun-seok went deeper into the conversation, Singh's eyes gradually lit up.
"Young Master Kim, your plan is very strategic, and I am willing to believe in your Goryeo Aerial Warfare." Singh nodded slowly.
"But now I want to know, how did you conclude that Lin Ye's Aerial Warfare capabilities are inferior to yours? In fact, Lin Ye also demonstrated considerable Aerial Warfare capabilities in the Raging Waves."
Kim Geun-seok smiled, then shook his head with a hint of disdain.
"First of all, the fighter jets in the Raging Waves are indeed very powerful, but those are carrier-based fighters that rely on the Nation-Destroying Fleet. If we choose Aerial Warfare mode, the carrier will be blockaded..."
"Furthermore, the mission states that capturing any major city constitutes victory! It doesn't say that you have to confront Lin Ye head-on."
"Lin Ye needs to use fighter jets to stop us, while we only need to bomb one main city. Prince, you should know very well that there are no fighter jets in this world that are specifically designed for air-to-air combat; all fighter jets are primarily designed for ground attack."
"If you look at it that way, do you still think we can't win?"
Kim Geun-seok's words did indeed convince Singh.
After drinking another cup of tea, Singh gently clapped his hands.
"Good! Young Master Jin's strategies are indeed far Itō Hidetaka."
"Well-reasoned and convincing!"
"This prince didn't bring too much stuff into the Instance this time, but he still has over 100 top-tier aircraft available for Young Master Jin to command!"
I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration.
[Have a great weekend, guys! I wish you all good food and drinks. Love you all, Muah!]
