You're the Ruthless Ones!
"It seems that this protagonist isn't entirely without benefits. Perhaps his appearance is actually a good thing for me," Su Ye couldn't help but think.
Rebirth characters are usually protagonists, and this one doesn't seem to be a World Destroyer protagonist, so he should be considered a righteous one. Regardless of what kind of protagonist he is, judging from the things he does, he can be considered righteous.
Since the protagonist is a righteous character, then he has value in existing, which is a good thing.
"Perhaps we can see from this incident whether this protagonist is a good person or not," Su Ye thought to himself, stroking his chin.
If Ye Xiu didn't expose this matter, then it means that this protagonist is probably not a good person.
"But probably not. According to the normal plot, this world should be in crisis, but it hasn't been announced yet, which is why the protagonist was born," Su Ye thought to himself.
Regardless, Su Ye still planned to observe the situation. If he rushed ahead, he might die without even knowing how. Perhaps those powerful Families already knew about the power of the Strange Crystal?
"Forget it, I won't think about it anymore. There are so many trivial things to worry about every day." Su Ye looked at his Territory.
Delmis appeared beside Su Ye, and Su Ye took Delmis directly to the Lord Battle Space.
Two minutes later, Su Ye returned with three cards: Troop Recruitment Refresh Card, Bloody Battle Invitation, Abyss Exploration Card, and a record of twenty-six consecutive wins.
"I wonder how things are going on in Bronze World No. 1, and how Olides and the others are doing with their exploration?" Su Ye couldn't help but wonder, then shook his head and directly activated the Void Trial.
Regardless, the Void Trial must be opened.
[Ding: The Void Trial has begun. Difficulty: Abyss. You have thirty seconds to prepare!]
As the Void Trial began, Su Ye sat on the grass.
I had just started the live stream when a private message popped up.
Su Ye glanced at it; it was sent by Lin Xiaoxiao.
[Little Merchant: Boss, are you there?!]
[Otherworld Traveler: Yes, boss!]
Su Ye looked at the message Lin Xiaoxiao sent with a smile. It was really interesting. However, since the other party was being so polite, he had no choice but to break off the formality.
[Little Merchant: Boss, I was too busy yesterday, please approve the transaction request.]
[Otherworld Traveler: OK!]
Su Ye looked at the negotiated deal and immediately agreed. The previous batch of weapon materials cost a total of 2.25 billion, so Lin Xiaoxiao directly transferred 1.125 billion to Su Ye.
[Little Merchant: Boss, we've sold almost all the weapons; the market is nearly saturated, so there's no need to produce more.]
Looking at Lin Xiaoxiao's words, Su Ye curled his lip. "You're kidding me. Market saturation? Billions of Novice Lord, you're telling me the market is saturated?"
This is clearly a deliberate attempt to prevent Normal Lord from catching up. The real saturation is in Lin Xiaoxiao's circle; they can make money anytime.
But you only get one chance to get the final ranking.
Do you really think Lin Xiaoxiao is a naive and innocent girl?
However, Su Ye had no choice. He lacked connections, and selling technological weapons himself would be exhausting. Each transaction would take an unknown amount of time, meaning Su Ye would be busy trading all day and would offend all the second-generation rich kids in the area. (To clarify, otherwise people will criticize him, but the protagonist doesn't have the time or connections to trade with everyone individually. Offending these second-generation rich kids in just a few days isn't worthwhile, and he doesn't need the money. There will be plenty of opportunities to make money back in the Main World; there's no need to offend them.)
Not selling technological weapons must have been something they planned in advance. Their goal was to prevent other Novice Lord from catching up to their final rankings, as every extra day they bought weapons meant an extra day of risk.
They wouldn't agree to anything with even the slightest risk. Otherwise, Lin Xiaoxiao wouldn't have said that weapons shouldn't be produced anymore. That was clearly telling Su Ye that weapons production should stop now.
[Otherworld Traveler: Boss, this is how I make a living. If I don't produce weapons, how will you support me?]
Su Ye sent it over half-jokingly.
[Little Merchant: Okay, I'll support you. Please approve the transaction request.]
Su Ye looked at the message Lin Xiaoxiao sent and narrowed his eyes. "When it comes to ruthlessness, you guys are really ruthless. You don't give your subordinates any chance to turn things around."
Su Ye agreed to the transaction request.
Looking at the one hundred Troop Refresh Recruitment Card that Lin Xiaoxiao had traded for.
[Little Merchant: Is the Boss Satisfied?]
[Otherworld Traveler: Is this considered hush money?]
[Little Merchant: Boss, that's not how it works. There's no hush money involved. It's just that you've worked too hard these past few days and deserve a rest. Your Novice Period is almost over, so take a good break. Work and rest are important, right?]
[Otherworld Traveler: I really need a good rest. Since you've said so, little boss, what else can I say? Of course, I'll listen to you.]
[Little Merchant: Boss, you're being too polite. We're the best of partners.]
[Otherworld Traveler: Yes, the best partner!]
[Little Merchant: Boss, I have some Barracks and Dark Seed, do you want them?]
Su Ye looked at the message Lin Xiaoxiao sent, his eyes narrowing slightly. "What does this guy mean? Is it intentional or unintentional?"
[Otherworld Traveler: No need. If I needed it before, it was only for research by my Hero Unit or through trade; it's useless to me now.]
[Little Merchant: Oh, okay then. No problem. Contact me if you need anything, boss!]
[Otherworld Traveler: Okay, little boss, no problem.]
Su Ye immediately turned off private messaging.
"What exactly does this guy mean? Is he testing me or is it unintentional?" Su Ye thought with a dangerous glint in his eyes.
Whether it was a test or unintentional, Su Ye couldn't agree. Before, when it was less, he could say he would use the Dark Seed for research or exchange it with others for the Barracks. But now it was different. If he really agreed, unexpected trouble would probably arise. Anyway, it would only be a few days before the Trading House was unblocked, and he could just buy it anonymously.
In any case, we can no longer purchase anything from Lin Xiaoxiao that is not related to the Technology Side.
Even the slightest risk of exposure is unacceptable.
Lin Xiaoxiao's side.
"The reply was pretty quick, looks like he's going for a purely technological approach, but that's not necessarily true. This guy's smart, we should still get someone to take a look."
"It would be best to meet him in the Main World to confirm. There are quite a few lords who have disguised themselves as Technology Side entities, so it's hard to say who this guy is either."
"But this guy is quite clever, which saves a lot of trouble. There are only a few days left, it's time to go all out. This Black Water Virus is really useful," Lin Xiaoxiao couldn't help but think.
Within her Territory stands a Rift Gate, and so far, Lin Xiaoxiao has obtained many valuable items from it, especially with the help of her subordinate lord, which has enabled her to make significant progress.
Black Water Virus played a crucial role in this.
