After hanging up, Hu Shou began to consider Shen Jin's intentions.
First, during this call, he had shown no concern about the zombie horde. He did not want Shen Jin to know they had been monitoring the battle.
If they had actually carried out a rescue, that would have been easy enough to explain. Protecting them at a critical moment would only have earned their gratitude.
But now... the rescue team had watched the entire show, cheered them on with a few cries of "Awesome!" and come back. There was no need to mention that.
It would only breed suspicion.
"One hundred [Extractors]! Excellent. After fighting off the zombie horde, his first thought was to contribute to the Heavenly Net. He must have realized how important the number of special ability users was.
"As for those materials-steel blocks? Iron blocks? Tin blocks? Copper blocks? Diamonds? And graphite? Were those all raw materials for his manufacturing? Indeed, equipment this advanced must require an enormous quantity of materials. Fortunately, D City was a major heavy-industrial city. Gathering what he wanted wouldn't be difficult. As for transportation, he had his own solution. Was it that Space Traversal user?"
Hu Shou promptly called Xia Anbang. After explaining which materials Shen Jin needed, he added one final instruction:
"During this trade, try asking whether he can visit the Heaven and Earth Net Bureau. Show him our goodwill, but don't force him. Heh, I doubt anyone in D City has the power to force him anyway."
"Uh, well..."
Xia Anbang was speechless. Whose side was he on, exactly? Was it really okay to belittle D City's official special ability users like that? No, it wasn't!
Had Hu Shou heard his thoughts, he would certainly have laughed in disdain.
*Give me a hundred [Extractors], and forget treating
