Allies

"Develop hot weapons!"

Gongyi Xingguangyu left behind four words before his death.

The characters were written crookedly, almost as if they were scratched out with fingernails.

The body was carried away, and the Turs' caravan began to close its lines and slowly withdraw from the city of Leiata.

Many people are sticking together to avoid being attacked by the giant moths, and very few are qualified to stay in Leiata City.

If it weren't for Presenel's Essence Blood protecting them, Zhang Xuezhou and the others would have already retreated.

He is still entitled to remain in this area, and he also saw Gongyi Xingguangyu's last words along with Nagos.

"What's your opinion?" Naggus asked.

"This matter can only be entrusted to you," Zhang Xuezhou said. "Not only do I have health problems, but I'm also not ranked in the Scarlet Alliance State, so I can't do anything I want!"

"I lack resources on my end," Naggs said, then emphasized, "We're severely lacking in human resources!"

He's swift and thorough when it comes to killing, but when it comes to actually using people, he gives Naggs a headache.

Not to mention Gongyi Xingguangyu's dying words and instructions, Nagos himself also wanted to have efficient firearms to assist him.

He was fed up with those moths that got in his way.

Presenel can only be considered a down-on-his-luck Arrival.

Naggs didn't know if he was capable of dealing with other special beings who had descended upon him.

He had the idea of forming an alliance with Zhang Xuezhou, but Zhang Xuezhou's situation was too bad, which gave Naggus a great headache.

If Nags were to find other partners, he wouldn't know who to choose. Without shared interests, it's impossible for anyone to maintain a cooperative and open mindset.

"Human resources can be gradually exchanged," Zhang Xuezhou said. "I remember you took Luo Burang over there. He's a true genius, one man is worth ten. You can let him take charge of more projects, or even train him from scratch!"

"Developing from scratch?"

"They can be trained, and they're very likely to bring surprises in a short time!"

"How can he be so strong? Just who is he?"

Zhang Xuezhou mentioned a person.

Naggs doesn't believe one person can transform the technology industry of the British Alliance State, but he still has some interest.

Luo Burang must have had a reason for being recommended by Zhang Xuezhou.

"Twenty years ago, he studied gene research for three months and almost immediately placed himself at the forefront of that era," Zhang Xuezhou reminded him. "Investing in him won't be a bad deal!"

"Then I'll give him three months," Naggs nodded.

"If he's interested, there should be enough time!"

Zhang Xuezhou nodded in agreement.

Their conversation was brief and to the point.

Zhang Xuezhou explained his need for assistance and also gave Naggus a recommendation.

As long as Luo Burang can satisfy Nagus, Nagus will most likely reward him handsomely.

Compared to Luo Burang's current situation, Zhang Xuezhou believes that Naggus's intervention would be more amicable.

"What are your plans next?" Naggus asked in a low voice. "Go to Qinmeng?"

"I'm about to enter the rejection phase," Zhang Xuezhou said. "I'll be unconscious for about two weeks and can only lie down and sleep!"

"This is terrible!"

Naggs couldn't help but complain.

"Would you like to come to my place for some recuperation?" Naggs asked. "Although my place is very poor, I can still spare some resources. I can conscript any X-series equipment. That might make you feel better!"

"I'm more than happy to accept your kindness," Zhang Xuezhou nodded. "Your timely assistance will make us our most stable allies!"

"Hey, what are you guys whispering about? Hey you, when are you going to let me try that medicine you mentioned?"

Zhang Xuezhou and Naggus kept whispering to each other, which finally made Chimmon Hagrid, who had been waiting not far away, unable to hold back any longer.

"What medicine?" Naggs asked curiously.

"I won't tell you," Chimman Hagrid said smugly.

"Then I'll just ask," Nagos said, shaking his head.

"I plan to push forward the 'Analysis Report on the Longevity Gene Chain, the Influence of Drugs, and Divine Mentality' over the next two years, which involves longevity drugs," Zhang Xuezhou said. "If I can successfully advance this project, it will allow me to become an honorary professor in the Scarlet Alliance State!"

"A longevity drug, that's interesting!"

Naggs nodded.

For someone in his prime, extending his lifespan was the last thing he needed to consider.

But for an old man like Chimon Haig, this is probably an urgent matter, and there will be many elderly high- Sequence Holder in Western Capital City who will also have this need.

As long as there is a need at the top, no matter what shortcomings or deficiencies Zhang Xuezhou may have, they will definitely promote him.

Thinking of the anti-rejection drugs developed by Zhang Xuezhou, Naggus couldn't help but nod deeply, feeling that Zhang Xuezhou was very adept at using his world advantage, and had a way of rising to power that was completely different from his own.

"You just blurt out something so important like that? Don't you have any sense of confidentiality?" Chimman Hagrid complained.

"They'll all be published in journals from now on," Zhang Xuezhou said with a smile. "It's nothing shameful!"

"You might want to publish it, but I'm afraid some people will just collect it and won't let you publish it publicly," Chimmon Hagrid said, shaking his head.

"The Life Series has already been published, who would keep it a secret?" Naggus said. "Speaking of which, that Luo Burang you recommended is one of them..."

"He was my collaborator," Zhang Xuezhou said with a smile. "My research on papers and related drugs wouldn't have been possible without his help. If he hadn't left so early, the finished drug would probably have already passed the tests!"

"That's interesting!"

Naggs nodded, surprised that the boomerang had hit his own ally.

If Luo Burang were Zhang Xuezhou's partner, he really would have to treat him a little better.

"Give me some of that medicine; I need it too," Naggus said.

"No problem," Zhang Xuezhou said. "The finished drug should be available in about a month. Give me an address, and I'll send you a copy!"

Thank you!

Naggs nodded.

He was indeed quite satisfied with his collaboration with Zhang Xuezhou.

"By the way, don't sell this medicine to that old geezer Montesbatton for now," Naggs whispered, leaning down. "I'll see if I can squeeze some money out of him first!"

"I can't find him," Zhang Xuezhou shook his head and said, "You can just go and switch places with him!"

"That's true!"

Zhang Xuezhou's conditions were always so practical, which reassured Naggus.

Zhang Xuezhou is right; even if you have the medicine, you still need to find customers.

Montesbatton is far away in the Aomeijia Alliance and often deep in the Qin-Meng region, which is obviously not a social class that Zhang Xuezhou can quickly reach. This allows Nagos, the middleman, to do business first.

This didn't even require him to scheme against Luo, whom he had recruited from the Scarlet Alliance State, to conduct research; the timeline was significantly ahead of schedule.

Nagos was very satisfied with his trip to the Thousand Islands Alliance.

Even with the arrival of one descendant after another, he found a temporary collaborator.

This temporary period might be ten years, twenty years, or even a little longer.

As long as Zhang Xuezhou does not pose a sufficient threat, their cooperation can continue and will remain under Naggus's control.

Regardless of Zhang Xuezhou's intentions, things were indeed very advantageous for Nagos.
