"Equivalent exchange?"
Reid, who had been trembling with excitement, suddenly calmed down. A trace of confusion appeared in his eyes.
Seeing the confusion in Reid's eyes, Bubu Wang secretly nudged Su Xiao with his hind legs. The meaning was clear: Hurry up, Master. I might not be able to hold on much longer.
What Bubu Wang was best at was dragging the other party's intelligence down to its own level. Earlier, it had greeted Reid and offered him spicy strips. Combined with the effects derived from its Charm Attribute, it was practically a combo attack, inflicting a "lowered-intelligence strike" on Reid.
Of course, this "lowered-intelligence strike" was only a metaphor. It did not truly lower Reid's intelligence. In principle, Bubu Wang was negotiating with Reid in its unique way, with its Charm Attribute playing a crucial role.

"The Void isn't what
