The three-headed Vicious Thorn Insect appeared before Logo, its eyes fierce and its sharp teeth exposed. These creatures lacked lips; their mouths were solely for biting.
Under Shake's expectant gaze, Logo picked up a grayish-black ball of yarn.
"Eat it!" He handed the ball of yarn to the Vicious Thorn Insect, which took it and swallowed it without hesitation.
The next moment, the Vicious Thorn Insect screamed and fell to the ground. Lines appeared under its carapace, like earthworms wriggling. The other two Vicious Thorn Insect roared at Logo repeatedly, but Shake remained calm and carefully observed the changes in the guard.
The pain comes on quickly and goes away quickly.
A dozen seconds later, the Vicious Thorn Insect stood up again, its appearance changed to some extent, with an additional layer of grid-like patterns on its carapace.
Logo stepped forward and pointed to the Vicious Thorn Insect, explaining to Shake, "This alchemical product, called the Biological Protective Net, is essentially an extremely flexible organic filament. It's distributed within your guards' bodies like a spider web. Due to its unique tension structure, it can effectively resist the damage to internal organs from kinetic energy attacks."
With this protective layer in place, it is virtually impossible for gunpowder-based kinetic energy weapons to damage it, except for energy weapons, and the impact of electromagnetic kinetic energy weapons will also be greatly reduced.
"Moreover, the Biological Protective Net doesn't affect agility, making it far more cost-effective than defensive weapons like armor."
"Biological Protective Net... you, attack it!" Shake pointed to another Vicious Thorn Insect and commanded.
He wouldn't just listen to Logo's side of the story.
Upon receiving the order, the Vicious Thorn Insect moved swiftly, transforming into a blur as it kicked out, striking the abdomen of the Vicious Thorn Insect equipped with Biological Protective Net. The latter offered no resistance.
Bang!
The attacked Vicious Thorn Insect took two steps back without showing any discomfort.
Shake's eyes widened. He had witnessed the attack just now; in the past, this Vicious Thorn Insect would have been injured no matter what.
Surprisingly, after equipping myself with that so-called "Biological Protective Net," I only had to take two steps back, yet my overall defense increased by at least 40%.
"Great stuff!" Shake exclaimed.
Logo then showed the Zerg leader other alchemical weapons.
Such as [Built-in Energy Circulation System], [Neural Response Enhancement Device], [Magnetic Field Accelerator], etc.
Everything broadened Shake's horizons, and the greed in his eyes deepened.
Logo acted as if he hadn't seen anything and continued introducing his products.
After all the alchemical products were introduced, Logo smiled and looked at Shake, "So, are these enough for you to trade?"
"Hahaha, enough, of course enough! The more alchemical products the better, we want as many as we can!" Shake said excitedly, his belly fat jiggling violently, expressing his excitement.
"Okay, here are my quotes: Fusion Cutter 998 Ta Pound per unit, Biological Protective Net 1999 Ta Pound per unit, Built-in Energy Circulation System 2999 Ta Pound per set..."
Logo spoke eloquently, and with each number he uttered, Shake felt as if his heart had been struck a heavy blow; he was always the one making money from everyone else.
Paying someone else was more painful for him than killing Shake.
Moreover, the price of this equipment is simply outrageously expensive.
"Can't you make it cheaper?" Shake asked, squinting his beady eyes and grinning.
Logo shook his head. "You can ask around in the market; for alchemical products with similar properties, my prices are the lowest."
"If you want something cheaper, that's fine too. I can reduce the performance of these alchemical products a bit."
"High-quality, high-performance products are for your elite troops; slightly less advanced products can be used by ordinary Zerg players..."
Logo offered Shake his suggestions.
Shake thought for a moment, then nodded slightly. "Okay, but I need you to grant me one request."
What are the requirements?
"That means, apart from me, you can no longer sell your alchemical products to any other Dusk Insect Race."
Upon hearing this, Logo remained unfazed. "Alright!"
Shake was taken aback, then heard Logo add, "So, what benefits can you offer me?"
"Hmm..." Shake thought for a moment, then stretched out three fat, greasy fingers, but seemed to feel a pang of pain and pulled one back.
"Two percentage points! I'm willing to lower the price of the raw materials I sell to you by two percentage points!" Shake said with a heavy heart.
"..."
Logo looked at the Zerg leader strangely. "How dare you? A mere two percent percentage point, and you think you can be my exclusive agent?"
"Farewell!" Logo turned and left.
He didn't want to waste any more words with this greedy guy.
"Wait!" Seeing Logo about to leave, Shake panicked and shouted. A large swarm of Zerg rushed out from all directions, surrounding Logo and his two companions.
"What? Is Shake going to seize it by force?" Logo said, as red mech modules spread out from his back, and the Sky Eagle Mecha was quickly donned.
Melier silently drew the Gru Heavy Shield and the switch axe, and also donned the Giant Mountain Mecha.
Gain, holding a metal rod, stared intently at Shake, preparing to give the fat man a hard blow.
Seeing that his Zerg army could not Intimidation Logo and his group, and coupled with Gain's death stare, Shake's face stiffened. He gave an awkward smile, waved his hand, and the numerous fighting Zerg retreated like a tide.
"Haha, Your Excellency, please don't be offended. These brainless fools are always so easily alarmed. How could I possibly plot against my own ally?"
"Oh, then it was my fault." Logo smiled faintly, but didn't pursue the matter further.
Negotiating with evil forces is like this: you must always maintain a tough stance and not show the slightest weakness, otherwise they will take advantage of you completely.
Only by being strong can one earn the respect of the evil faction.
After a misunderstanding, Logo and Shake sat down to talk again.
Shake finally showed his sincerity.
"How about this? I can supply Infinity quantities of raw materials at a price 7% lower than the market price. In exchange, I'll grant you exclusive sales rights for your alchemical products. Is that too much to ask?"
"Hmm?" Logo frowned. Infinity supply? What a boastful tone.
Do you think you're the Dusk Lord?
Seeing the expression on Logo's face, Shake rubbed his hands together and chuckled, "I forgot to introduce my other identity: former treasurer of the Lower Dusk Domain."
"CFO? You?" Logo was shocked. From his observation, Shake's greed was simply outrageous. He was a CFO?
Isn't this like putting rats in charge of guarding the granary?
"So how did you step down?" Logo couldn't help but ask.
"Cough... well... I couldn't control myself, I got a tiny bit greedy..." Shake pinched two fingers together, leaving a small gap between them.
"Just a tiny bit?" Logo looked at him strangely.
"It's less than 100 billion Ta Pound." Shake coughed lightly.
"Oh... that's really a tiny bit!"
