Chu Xuan Scares Himself

Zheng Zha and the other man were so shocked by what they saw that they dared not utter a word.

They were utterly speechless at Chu Xuan's courage and insight, as well as Li Hao and his group's audacity and their plans.

At this moment, Zheng Zha felt mostly regret.

I feel incredibly regretful.

If time could be turned back, he would definitely choose to abandon Chu Xuan.

This troublemaker has caused a lot of trouble, real trouble.

Zheng Zha never imagined that he would one day be involved in such trouble—the confrontation and scheming between the Main God Space and truly top-tier powerhouses!

This situation far exceeded Zheng Zha's expectations and was beyond his ability to cope with.

Zheng Zha was not arrogant; he knew the limits of his strength and understood why he was alive. With his current power, intervening in such a situation would surely mean certain death.

Zheng Zha sighed.

Unfortunately, there's no way to escape now.

If God gave me a chance, I would definitely choose to kill that bastard Chu Xuan!

Chu Xuan was unaware of Zheng Zha's thoughts, and even if he had, he wouldn't have cared.

Because of his personality, he wouldn't consider these things.

At this moment, Chu Xuan was intently observing Li Hao, paying attention to the changes in his expression and every detail of his face, in order to guess the other party's thoughts and decisions.

Chu Xuan appeared confident, but in reality, he was still gambling.

As Chu Xuan himself said before, if Ming Yanwei is one of Li Hao's pawns, it also means that they are just one of the alternative pawns. Such pawns are not irreplaceable. When the benefits are great enough, or the hidden dangers are great enough, nothing is not worth giving up.

Chu Xuan was showing off his intelligence, not because he wanted to.

Rather, he understood that pieces without value are more easily discarded.

When a piece has enough value, even enough to determine the outcome of a battle, it will not only not be discarded, but will be protected and given more resources and benefits.

Only by demonstrating value can one have the right to negotiate.

However, Chu Xuan was not certain that his performance was enough to impress Li Hao and make him abandon the idea of eliminating the threat completely.

Of course, Chu Xuan's worries and considerations were all based on the premise that Ming Yanwei was just one of Li Hao's pawns, a small part of his grand plan.

This consideration, however, does not actually exist, or rather, it has been exaggerated infinitely by Chu Xuan himself.

This becomes the key, the crucial factor influencing the situation.

After a brief moment of thought, Chu Xuan began to try his best to dispel Li Hao's murderous intent, explaining, "You want the Main God Space, and we want to break free from Main God Space to gain freedom. In a sense, we are natural allies. Although our strength is far inferior to yours, with our help, Captain can go further and bring you more intelligence."

Li Hao narrowed his eyes slightly and remained silent.

There's a problem!

Chu Xuan's answer is problematic!

It's not that his explanation was problematic, but given Chu Xuan's personality, it's extremely rare and unbelievable that he would proactively explain so many things.

Chu Xuan wasn't one to like explaining himself.

When someone who dislikes explaining starts explaining, it means they aren't actually that confident; they're just trying to boost their self-confidence through this method.

Wait a minute, Chu Xuan seems confident, but he's actually gambling on everything.

And what he just said— that Ming Yanwei was merely one piece in his plan, one of many pawns.

This means that Chu Xuan overestimated his own strength, leading to a misjudgment.

Thinking of this, Li Hao almost burst out laughing.

He finally found Chu Xuan's weakness.

Information asymmetry!

He knew Chu Xuan inside and out, while Chu Xuan could only glimpse a part of him through Ming Yanwei, which led to Chu Xuan's misjudgment. He overestimated his own strength. If Chu Xuan hadn't been emotionless, he would probably be even more nervous and uneasy right now.

Li Hao was overjoyed.

Being able to scare Chu Xuan is a very impressive achievement.

Although this was just Chu Xuan's own imagination, scaring himself, it made no difference to Li Hao.

He was even a little disappointed that the Chat Group hadn't given any game hints.

Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the title of "Chu Xuan the Intimidator".

Li Hao amused himself, trying his best to hide his emotions, and said calmly, "What you said makes a lot of sense, but you know too much."

Chu Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly.

first.

For the first time, Chu Xuan felt a crisis that was completely different from any other crisis he had ever experienced before.

My hair stood on end; death was imminent.

He harbored murderous intent.

Chu Xuan thought to himself, and quickly searched for a way to break the deadlock.

There must be something I've missed, there definitely is.

According to his calculations, there was only a 30% chance that he would eliminate the threat completely, while he himself had a 70% chance of surviving. There must have been some detail he missed that triggered the other party's murderous intent.

What exactly is it?

Etc!

Chu Xuan's pupils contracted; he suddenly understood.

He quickly said, "Wait, after we finish chatting, we can cooperate to erase all memories of today, and the Supreme God won't know about these things."

Li Hao was about to say something when he suddenly stopped.

He looked at Chu Xuan calmly, lost in thought.

So, what exactly did Chu Xuan imagine that led him to make such a decision?

Erase the memory.

Tsk tsk, even though the main god is powerful, it's still impossible to sneak past the Chat Group and spy on this place.

Haha, you're overthinking it.

However, now is a good opportunity, as Chu Xuan has already shown signs of weakness and revealed his defeat.

Li Hao paused slightly, then said, "You are very clever, truly very clever. I have seen countless beings, and even destroyed many worlds, but I have rarely encountered someone like you."

Zheng Zha's eye twitched.

Holy crap, holy crap!

Damn, just who is this big shot? He's destroyed so many worlds.

Fuck, if Laozi ever abandon that bastard Chu Xuan again, I'm a pig.

Chu Xuan remained silent, lost in thought.

His thoughts were in disarray; he couldn't tell if Li Hao was just being polite or if the other party had truly given up his murderous intent.

But he knew that his time was running out, and his opportunities were dwindling.

He had to do everything he could to impress Li Hao in order to get what he wanted.

Chu Xuan pondered for a moment, barely regaining his composure, and continued, "Breaking through the main god is no easy task. Any small factor could be the key to victory or defeat. The final outcome of the balance is not determined by the heaviest Fa Ma, but by all the Fa Ma on the scale."

Although we are not strong now, with enough resources and support, we will definitely grow to the point where we can become an important Fa Ma.

"You want the Main God Space, and we want to break through Main God Space. This is our common interest and the basis of our cooperation. I've already prepared for the worst by coming out here today; this is my sincerity."

As Chu Xuan finished speaking, he looked intently at Li Hao.

Zheng Zha's face twitched slightly.

Damn it, Chu Xuan, you Laozi, I knew you were up to no good.

Is your sincerity really about gambling with our lives?

Zheng Zha cursed Chu Xuan's bastard in his heart, while looking at Li Hao with extreme tension.

He had come to realize that his future—no, the future of the three of them—was entirely in Li Hao's hands.

Li Hao remained calm, but inwardly he was practically laughing hysterically.

Chu Xuan compromised.

Yes, he compromised.

The most important thing in negotiations is to protect your bottom line.

Chu Xuan had run out of cards to play.

He had already revealed all his cards in an attempt to persuade Li Hao, and now the final decision on this negotiation rested entirely with Li Hao.

Li Hao smiled and said, "I admire you, I really admire you, but this performance alone is not enough to gain my support. You reap what you sow; you have to give as much as you want to receive. I can give you many things, even wish you immortality or Buddhahood, and help you break through the fifth-order Gene Lock, but your current situation does not allow me to see satisfactory results."

Zheng Zha's pupils constricted.

Fifth-order Gene Lock!

My God, isn't that the realm of Saint?

Legend has it that the Main God Space is a training ground created by Saint. If the opponent can only break through to the fifth rank, how powerful must he be? And how powerful must the Main God Space be to attract him?

Had I underestimated the Main God Space before, or perhaps more precisely, underestimated a fifth-order Saint?

Zheng Zha suddenly lost his confidence.

For the first time, he felt that the future was far more difficult than he had imagined, far more difficult than he had ever imagined.

Chu Xuan frowned slightly.

He considered his words carefully before slowly saying, "All investments carry risk. The amount of return you want depends on the amount of risk you take. You shouldn't ask how much we can bring you, but rather whether we are worth your investment and the risk."

Li Hao admired it in his heart.

Chu Xuan is indeed Chu Xuan.

However, you've already lost when you make the wrong judgment.

Tsk tsk, my little darlings, are you ready to receive the pampering from your group admin?

Hehe, this group admin will definitely pamper you all.

Li Hao laughed inwardly, but calmly said, "An interesting point of view. You've successfully impressed me."

Chu Xuan breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If Li Hao still doesn't agree, he really will be out of options.

Zheng Zha almost collapsed to the ground, his legs giving way beneath him.

That was extremely dangerous.

He simply couldn't imagine where Chu Xuan got the confidence to negotiate with such a terrifying being.

The two sides' capital is on completely different levels.

But now, Zheng Zha is starting to consider new problems.

What can I gain, and what kind of support can I receive?

This is no ordinary big shot; he can freely travel between worlds and even deceive the super-strong individuals in the Main God Space. Would someone as powerful as him be just ordinary trash?

That's definitely impossible.

Besides, if it's junk, people might not even be willing to give it a presentable appearance.
