Moti was no longer surprised by Lin Yu's renewed questioning; after all, it concerned information that the management was desperately trying to cover up, so Lin Yu's cautiousness was understandable.
Lin Yu's suspicions were not entirely unfounded.
After all, judging from his previous behavior, Mortis is just an ordinary citizen with nothing special about him except for his cleverness.
How could someone like that know the so-called resistance fighters?
Hearing Lin Yu say that, Mo Tixi quickly and modestly waved his hand. "Young brother, what are you saying? I don't have any connections. We're all just trying to make a living."
"Okay." Lin Yu finally nodded.
He still had no information at hand, so he had no choice but to trust that unreliable guy, Mortis, one more time.
"Ahem, well then we'll have to pay a deposit first, one million Exile World Points!" Mortis demanded an exorbitant amount.
Lin Yu naturally knew the cost of living in the Exiled World. The price Mo Tixi set was definitely too high; it was an attempt to fleece him like a fat sheep.
"A maximum of 100,000 points," Lin Yu said.
He may be rich, but that doesn't mean he'll be a sucker and fall for Mortis's tricks, especially when the other person is someone he's just met and who's full of lies.
"Young man, you've really pushed the price down too far!" Mortis complained, it was the first time he'd ever seen someone so aggressive in haggling over prices!
Although he admitted that his offer of one million points was a bit too high, Mortis himself was prepared to accept a significant discount, which is why he quoted such a price.
After all, the information he currently possesses is both sensitive and dangerous.
Lin Yu was simply curious about this, which is why he wanted information on it. Anyone else probably wouldn't have been interested at all.
Motixi knew that if he didn't sell this information to Lin Yu, he wouldn't be able to sell it at all.
"Eight hundred thousand! Young man, if you push the price too hard, I won't be able to explain it to you."
"Five hundred thousand," Lin Yu said calmly.
"Seven hundred thousand, that's the lowest we can go!"
"Okay, deal."
Unexpectedly, Lin Yu didn't play by the rules. Just when Moti thought he would continue to lower the price, he chose to close the deal.
After ending the communication, Mortis quickly sent a message to Lin Yu, informing him of the time and location.
It's clear he received the news in a rush, back in the afternoon.
Lin Yu didn't linger and quickly arrived at the place he had agreed to meet with Mortis, but the guy was late.
"Here, young man!" Mortis waved from a nearby alley, looking wary.
Lin Yu walked over, and behind him stood a rather magnificent mechanical fortress, which turned out to be one of the battle zones of the Exiled World.
It's only because Lin Yu is strong enough that he dares to swagger around in this kind of place as the number two.
Moti felt a chill run down his spine at Lin Yu's arrogant demeanor and quickly reached out to pull Lin Yu to his side.
"Young man, we can't afford to waste our lives like this! If we're not careful, they won't show any mercy." Mortis pointed to the magnificent building behind Lin Yu.
That wasn't just a fortress; it was a real weapon.
"So afraid of death, yet you got involved in this?" Lin Yu glanced at Mo Tixi with amusement.
Now hiding in the alley, Mortis was energized, shaking his head and saying, "It's precisely because it's dangerous that it can fetch such a high price."
"Aren't you afraid of dying at a time like this?" Lin Yu clicked his tongue in amazement.
"Of course I'm still scared! But thinking about the million points, I'm still willing to take the risk." Mortis said with a serious expression.
Lin Yu didn't overlook the loophole in his words: "It's seven hundred thousand."
Mortis was speechless. What had Lin Yu gone through in just one night? Where had the wealthy and arrogant Lin Yu gone?
"Seven hundred thousand it is, but let's make it clear first, this is just a deposit. I'll give you another three hundred thousand after it's all done," Mortis said.
In the end, it still came down to one million. Lin Yu chuckled, but he also knew that this came with a brief risk, so he didn't argue with Mortis any further.
"Make a deal."
"Now you're finally having a good time!" Mortis exclaimed in shock.
"Stop talking nonsense and lead the way!" Lin Yu waved his hand.
"Let me make this clear beforehand, I need to verify your identity. You're not some kind of entrapment operation by the management of the Exiled World, are you?" Mortis looked at Lin Yu suspiciously.
Lin Yu, confused, asked, "What did you say? I'm just a tourist from out of town."
"A tourist with so much money and no fear of death?" Mortis asked suspiciously, but he quickly sighed, as if he knew that if his identity was special, Lin Yu wouldn't say much to him.
"Forget it, whatever your identity is, just tell those people!" Mortis said in despair.
Lin Yu was somewhat helpless. He had only told the truth, so why wouldn't Mo Tixi believe him?
After that, Moti didn't say anything more and led Lin Yu through the winding alleys until they arrived at a rather familiar place.
Underground boxing rings.
Lin Yu looked at Motixi with amusement. "What, you have another friend who wants to fight me?"
Moti hadn't learned his lesson yesterday and was trying to use the same methods on me. He's not that stupid!
Mortis seemed to belatedly realize that the scene was somewhat awkward, and even with his thick skin, he couldn't help but blush. "Never mind that for now."
As he spoke, Mortis continued walking inside.
They hadn't gone far when they were stopped.
As if he had anticipated this, Mortis readily agreed, saying, "We want to watch the fight up close."
"Who is he? He's a stranger." The security guard looked at Lin Yu suspiciously.
Mortis had a sleazy air about him, and seemed to have blended into the atmosphere, while Lin Yu appeared completely out of place.
Mortis rolled his eyes and said, "Bosses of the higher worlds, don't worry about all that!"
The security guard said nothing more and directed the two to a very secluded corner.
That corner didn't seem special at first glance, but upon closer inspection, one couldn't help but marvel at how small yet perfectly formed it was, equipped with all sorts of counter-surveillance devices.
Let alone just an inconspicuous secret passage, even something much larger could be shielded from the detection of spiritual energy.
Mortis naturally took a mask from his pocket and put it on.
The movement was a bit sudden, and Lin Yu couldn't help but ask, "What about mine?"
Mortis said, "Masks aren't cheap, I didn't prepare one for you."
