C808 Genius Zheng Kai
"That's right, even if this is the official release of the data, the actual situation can't be more than 12 pieces. That's what Old Lord Taishang said 20 years ago when he was speaking!"
"Can Lord Zhong Kui be such a big boss?" Are we really going to give all of the treasures in the Underworld to that Zheng Kai? "
"I say, you guys have some eyes, okay?" Among Lord Zhong Kui's conditions, the most valuable one is obviously the official position! "
"That's right, that's right, the official positions in the Underworld are the fastest way to accumulate merits. If we can get a casual job here, even if we don't do anything and only hang our name on it, the Cultivation Level will advance by leaps and bounds. At that time, forget about spiritual treasures, even heavenly treasures can be cultivated by themselves!"
"..."
The moment Zhong Kui said this, the surrounding Messengers immediately exploded into discussion. With just a glance, you could tell that the discussion was getting louder and louder, even the two parties, Zheng Kai and Zhong Kui, could hear every word clearly.
Facing the clamoring of the crowd of ghost servants, Zhong Kui first showed a smug expression. On one hand, he was proud that he was able to make such a big decision for the Underworld. On the other hand, he felt that he could make Zheng Kai cry and immediately agree.
However, when he thought about how these Messengers had unintentionally exposed their trump cards, he felt a sense of embarrassment turning into anger.
"Scram!"
Zhong Kui roared as he stomped his foot on the ground, causing the ground to rumble and tremble. The surrounding ghost servants who were originally surrounding him in three layers immediately ran away as their expressions changed.
They hadn't forgotten what Zhong Kui's favorite cultivation method was — eating ghosts!
Even after so many years had passed since he gained his dao, he had already given up on his previous backward and unscientific cultivation method. Zhong Kui's notoriety in the Underworld caused everyone's expression to change.
"Boss Zheng Kai …"
But such a powerful existence, after scaring away the surrounding Messengers, he bent down and said to Zheng Kai, who was half his height, with an obsequious smile.
"You heard it just now, my offer price is definitely sincere. Look, why don't you do me a favor?"
"Mm …"
Honestly speaking, Zheng Kai was in a dilemma. On one hand, Zheng Kai was very tempted by Zhong Kui's offer.
Of course, the object of interest wasn't the so-called reward of a treasure spirit treasure, but the latter — the position of an official from the Underworld that was below the level of Zhong Kui!
It was necessary to mention the cultivation speed set by the Heavenly Court because according to the rules of the world, the source of fortune for cultivators could be found in certain areas.
It was only when the Heavenly Court was established that these signs were quantified into merits.
In other words, the higher one's merits were, the faster one's cultivation would be. On the contrary, if one's merits were insufficient, then their cultivation would be like a boat sailing against the river, with double the effort.
On one hand, they had to maintain the connection between their own Mortal Realm and progress so that they wouldn't lag behind and become an old hat that everyone hated.
On the other hand, they hoped that they would continuously help others during the experiential learning, do good deeds, and accumulate merits. This way, they would be able to greatly increase their efficiency during the next period of cultivation.
This was also why there would always be such a legend of immortals in Mortal Realm.
"I choose the official position!"
God has mercy on Zheng Kai. His words jumped into Zheng Kai's throat in the blink of an eye. Just as he was about to blurt it out, Zheng Kai suppressed it with his extraordinary self-control.
"No, I can't agree right now!"
Ever since he had the Heaven Realm Store System, Zheng Kai's sharp merchant's sense of smell was successfully activated. Every time he bargained with others, it would have an unexpected and magical effect.
"Lord Zhong must have come on Yama Lord's request, right?"
Zheng Kai forcefully swallowed his words of agreement. He slightly raised his head and smilingly stared at Zhong Kui as he asked with an expression that said "I know even if you didn't say it".
"Ah …" "Yes."
Zhong Kui's heart skipped a beat when he saw this expression. The tiny bit of pride he'd felt just now vanished like smoke in thin air. He even felt a chill run down his spine.
"Great lord, it seems like we're going to lose a lot of blood …"
Sure enough, Zheng Kai didn't disappoint Zhong Kui's premonition.
"Mm …" That is to say, the condition just now was not Lord Zhong Kui's intention, but Yama Lord's intention to convey it to you? "
The more Zheng Kai spoke, the more obvious the smile on his face became. His eyes were curled up like a fox who had just eaten a chicken, extremely sinister.
"Eh, this …"
Hearing Zheng Kai's question, Zhong Kui's expression turned uglier and uglier. Unknowingly, he had already started sweating profusely.
"Hmm?"
Seeing that Zhong Kui did not reply, Zheng Kai nodded. Although he did not make any loud noises nor urge Zhong Kui to leave, his huge body trembled as he hurriedly spoke up in an attempt to defend himself.
"That's right, that's right …" "Just now, I was worried that Boss Zheng Kai might have some scruples, so I didn't mention Lord Yama Lord's name …"
"Haha …"
Seeing Zhong Kui's voice become softer and softer as if he was a daughter-in-law who'd done something wrong, Zheng Kai smiled coldly and did not pursue the matter. Since he had achieved his goal, there was no need to bite the duck and not loosen his grip.
With the Store System's support, it could be said that Zheng Kai was a genius in the business world. Zhong Kui should not have hidden the truth from the beginning.
"Aiya …" "Actually, I was very interested in those two conditions just now …"
Turning his face away again, Zheng Kai said with a regretful tone as he pretended to sigh.
"Ah?" That's great! "
Although he vaguely felt that the matter wouldn't be as simple as Zheng Kai said, Zhong Kui was still filled with fear and hurriedly expressed his thanks.
"But …"
Zheng Kai completely ignored Zhong Kui and shook his head.
"What about these two rewards? If it was Lord Zhong Kui who suggested it, then it would be very sincere. I appreciate that."
"But, if it was Yama Lord …"
At this point, Zheng Kai suddenly raised his head and looked Zhong Kui in the eye as he said this with a faint smile.
"Seems like it's still lacking a bit of meaning, isn't it?"
"Eh …"
To tell the truth, Zhong Kui's fiery gaze was only extinguished at this moment. He couldn't help but admit his sense of defeat.
Zheng Kai, f * ck, what a genius!
