Chapter 219 A Request

"Okay, now you can talk." After breakfast, Lei Ting carefully wiped the corners of his mouth with a soft and white napkin, and then cast his piercing eyes on Qi Lin.

"You know, my time is very precious, so I hope you can pick up the important ones." Lei Ting said lightly, but an invisible momentum was already pressing on Qi Lin.

For a moment, Qi Lin felt that he was about to be overwhelmed by this aura... However, in the midst of his constant struggle and repeated self-suggestion, he gradually adjusted his state.

This is... the aura of being in a high position for a long time? No, no, this old guy is still very strong... At least stronger than himself... That is a fourth-level evolutionary? Or level five?

"Under my full attention, I adjusted my breathing and heart rate in less than a second. You are the first young man like you." Lei Ting couldn't help showing a hint of appreciation in his eyes.

"Maybe I'm a little nervous..." Qi Lin twitched his lips and laughed at himself, then pointed to the Thunder City below which was surrounded by a large army of mutated creatures, and said seriously: "City Master, you should know the current situation in Thunder City Not optimistic."

"Oh? Not optimistic, how did you see it?"

"I broke through the siege of mutated creatures from the outside all the way. As far as I know, the quantity and quality of mutated creatures outside the city are already quite scary. And the IQ of the King Blood Dragon Lizard is also growing rapidly That's it - if I were the King Blood Dragon Lizard, I just need to send dozens of powerful E-rank mutant creatures to block the other side of the abyss rift, and the mutant creatures capable of flying will attack day and night, and then move all the troops to the north, directly If it gets run over, the players in Thunder City will definitely not be able to defend." Qi Lin said.

Now those mercenaries, hunters and guards in the north of the city can still deal with the mutated creatures, completely relying on the location of the city ruins in the old era, but if the king blood dragon lizard really dares to put all the eggs in one basket and spread all the mutated creatures around to the north If not, the geographical advantages of urban ruins will disappear.

At that time, as long as the north of the city is breached and mutated creatures enter the city, no player will be spared.

"You're right. Although you haven't gotten to the point, your analysis is very accurate." Lei Ting interlocked his fingers and stared at Qi Lin intently.

"The owner of the city must be able to guess my reason for coming—rather than throwing all my foundation in this precarious Thunder City, it's better to diversify my investment, for example——"

"for example?"

"City of Steel!"

"Are you going to invest my money in mutual aid associations? They are not always worthy of cooperation." Lei Ting shook his head.

"No, I mean, let's cooperate and bring down the city of steel!"

"Huh? I think you made two mistakes. First, cooperation requires both parties to have common interests, a small gap in strength, and complementary characteristics. You don't have these. Second, I can It didn't say that this Thunder City is my foundation - this virtual world is so vast, how can I be limited to this square inch?"

Qi Lin was stunned. The first point Lei Ting said was also one of the two most difficult points in Qi Lin's plan this time - how to persuade him to take action against the city of steel.

"If I am interested in the City of Steel, I can take it down at a relatively small price. I am a businessman, not a philanthropist. I don't need you to participate in the cooperation. In this way, the cake will be shared in the end." Sometimes, it's better to have one less person to divide the game, wouldn't it be better?" Lei Ting continued.

For Lei Ting, Qi Lin's behavior is no different from that of a white wolf with empty gloves.

However, Qi Lin still gritted his teeth and said: "This is not necessarily the case, the mutual aid will expand very quickly, and I am not alone."

"Not alone?" Lei Ting said with interest.

"A fourth-level evolutionary of the spiritual system, a knight leader of the Mutual Aid Society who has just rebelled and has a lot of information--I think, there should be no such role in your private army, the city lord?" Qi Lin said.

And hundreds of kilometers away, two guys who had just been sold by Qi Lin suddenly sneezed at the same time——

"It's a very heavy bargaining chip, but compared to the entire Steel City, it's still too light." Lei Ting was not moved at all.

In Qi Lin's original idea, after the city of steel was defeated, he planned to let Lingoi or Wuyan take over the remaining mutual aid associations through their previous identities—and then develop the city into a "neutral zone" controlled by multi-party cooperation .

It is impossible for Thunder to focus on the city of steel. In this way, the city of steel will not be completely reduced to the private property of the consortium alliance.

At that time, Qi Lin and the others will control the aborigines in the city of steel, while the consortium alliance will belong to outsiders. As long as they manage it carefully, the entire city will eventually fall into the hands of Qi Lin and the others.

Even if he fails to control the entire city, the city of steel can serve as Qi Lin's bright base and provide him with strong backup.

It's just... Lei Ting has clearly seen his intentions, so the possibility of this plan's success is very slim.

Qi Lin was still holding the last card in his hand. Although he didn't know if it would be useful to play this card now, it was at least his last attempt before leaving in despair.

"My lord, I don't know if you still remember, but you once promised me that you would fulfill my request." Qi Lin paused, took out the jade piece from his pocket, and put it on the table.

He had kept this jade block with the mysterious core before, and only left his side when the backpack was taken away by Sendel.

"Of course I remember...then, are you planning to use up this requirement this time?" Lei Ting narrowed his eyes, turning his gaze from Qi Lin to the jade block.

"Yes, I hope you can lend me an army to help me attack the City of Steel. In addition, in return, after capturing the city, I will give you the maximum authority over the entire city."

This maximum authority refers to all authority except city control and taxation—including garrison, development, business, etc...

Lei Ting also said that the other party is a businessman, and a businessman will never make a deal without benefits.

After more than ten seconds, Lei Ting got up and put the jade on the table back into his pocket.

"Okay, then I agree to your request. I can lend you a private army of 2,000 people. The strength and equipment of the soldiers are all in accordance with the standard A-level troop configuration, but... this troop will only assist you in attacking steel City, you have no right to command, I will arrange another commander."

"As for the maximum authority of the City of Steel, I am not interested, and I will not send additional people to intervene. The troops that assist you, the remaining people after the battle, are equivalent to my garrison in the City of Steel. "

"Also, Yanqiu, you can come out now."

As soon as Lei Ting finished speaking, Cheng Yanqiu came out from a hidden corner, saw Qi Lin, and showed a smile on his face: "We met again... I wondered why you refused my offer, but unexpectedly, Your ambitions are greater than mine."

"Huh? Why are you here?" Qi Lin was a little dazed. How did this guy appear on Thunder's territory?

"The Cheng's consortium is also a member of the consortium alliance, why can't I appear here?"

"Then you are the commander of this force?" Qi Lin asked.

"No, this is a troop of the consortium alliance, and I have no authority to command it. However, this time, I plan to take an elite team from the Cheng's consortium to visit the city of steel with you." Cheng Yanqiu smiled. said.
