Hearing Wang Xiao’s words, everyone’s expressions immediately darkened.
Fang Tianyu frowned slightly. “What else do you have to say after wanting to do such a dirty thing?!”
Wang Xiao sighed and was about to speak when he suddenly thought of something and looked at Tang Longji and Lin Xiang. “Uncle Tang and Manager Lin, can you let us talk alone?”
The two of them looked at each other and nodded before leaving. Wang Xiao patted the sofa beside him. “Sit down first and listen to me slowly.”
The few of them looked at each other. In the end, although they sat down, impatience was written all over their faces.
Wang Xiao smiled bitterly and said seriously, “Although I can’t tell you the reason, I have a feeling that this academy ranking assessment might not go smoothly.”
Tang Hengshan was stunned when he heard this. “Why? Are the Crimson Star people going to invade again?”
Hearing the ridicule in Tang Hengshan’s tone, the few of them laughed. Only Wang Xiao still had a serious expression.
“I can’t say it now, but you can understand it as an alien invasion.”
Wang Xiao said indifferently. His voice was not loud, but his serious tone made them unable to laugh.
Han Bufan gulped. “Wang Xiao, what happened? Does this have anything to do with us losing to you?”
Wang Xiao thought for a moment and shook his head. “I’m not sure yet, but it’s never wrong to prepare early.”
The boys were confused, but Fang Tianyu seemed to have thought of something. She blinked and asked tentatively, “You want us to be your trump card?”
“That’s right!”
Wang Xiao gave Fang Tianyu a thumbs up and paused for a moment before continuing, “When I saw your cooperation today, I knew that your potential was not small. Moreover, other than Zhou Xiruo, you are the people I trust the most.”
“I’m not sure if there will be any problems with the academy’s ranking assessment now, but if it’s really as I expected, I’ll give you a signal. At that time, you’ll lose to me in the first battle, and you’ll be crushed by me.”
Fang Tianyu thought for a moment and continued, “You want us to hide our strength while you attract the enemy’s attention. When the time is right, you’ll let us attack?”
Wang Xiao nodded. Without waiting for them to speak, he added, “However, if I think that there won’t be any problems with the academy’s ranking assessment, I won’t give you this signal. In that case, you just have to perform normally.”
The few of them looked at each other. After a moment, Lin Dong frowned and asked, “If it’s just such a small matter, you don’t have to take out 2 million star coins as a gift, right? Do you have other plans that you haven’t mentioned?”
“Well.. ‘
When Wang Xiao heard this, he hesitated for a few seconds before whispering, ‘Your current strength is not enough to become my trump card, so if my plan wants to succeed, I have to help you guys increase your strength…”
Everyone was speechless.
“This is too insulting!”
After a short silence, Han Bufan slapped his thigh and cursed angrily. Then, he picked up the [Holy Archangel] soldier card and placed it in his pocket. “I’m angry! This is your compensation.
“I’m angry too!”
“Me too!”
“Aren’t you just a little stronger than us? What’s there to be smug about?!”
The other three boys cursed angrily. Then, they each picked up a soldier card. Although their attitude was not good, they had clearly agreed to Wang Xiao’s conditions.
Wang Xiao could naturally tell what they were thinking. He smiled bitterly and looked at Fang Tianyu. “What do you think?”
Fang Tianyu frowned slightly and thought for a moment. “Gather ten and give them to me together.”
“Alright!”
Wang Xiao laughed and stood up to bow solemnly to the five of them.
“Everyone, this matter might be very dangerous. Thank you for trusting me.”
The few of them looked at each other and smiled. Yang Fan rolled his eyes and said disdainfully, “There’s no need to say such nonsense. Ever since I got involved with you, which battle hasn’t been dangerous?”
“Hahahaha!”
After chatting and laughing, Wang Xiao called Lin Xiang in to prepare to pay the bill.
In the end, Han Bufan followed Wang Xiao’s recommendation and took the [Holy Archangel] soldier card. Lin Dong’s [Blood Pool] talent did not need soldiers, and Tang Hengshan and Yang Fan were both meant for support, so they each took a purple quality enhancement card.
The total value of the four cards was more than 1.5 million star coins. However, Wang Xiao had cooperated with the Lord’s Shop and received a large discount. Lin Xiang also took the opportunity to give him a favor and he only paid a million in the end.
After settling the bill, Fang Tianyu and the others left happily with their respective gains. Tang Longji was also about to leave when he was suddenly stopped by Wang Xiao.
“Uncle Tang. ”
Wang Xiao looked at Tang Longji with a smile. “Shouldn’t you make it right to me after tricking me to come here today?”
Tang Longji was stunned. “It was that kid, Dashan, who asked me to lie to you. What has it got to do with me?”
“Really? It’s alright…”
Wang Xiao smacked his lips and held his chin with one hand as he chuckled. “Speaking of which, Tang Hengshan was also my vassal lord during the lord competition previously… You guys are indeed family!” Tang Longji glared at him. “Good kid! Are you threatening me?”
“Yes!”
Wang Xiao nodded and admitted without hiding anything, “So what do you want now?”
Tang Longji’s expression instantly darkened, but in the end, he still lowered his shoulders as if he was discouraged. “Tell me, how much do you want?”
“I don’t want money.”
Wang Xiao shook his head and the smile on his face became even brighter. “I just want to ask you for a small favor…”
Late at night.
Wang Xiao and Tang Longji walked out of the Lord’s Shop side by side, but their states were completely different.
Tang Longji was listless and his footsteps were sluggish. His unfocused eyes looked like he had not slept for a few days and nights. On the other hand, Wang Xiao’s face was filled with a spring breeze and his footsteps were light, as if he
nad a nuge advantage.
In fact, Wang Xiao had indeed received a huge advantage.
In the past few hours, the two of them had swept through six small secret realms sealed by the military. Tang Longji was indeed worthy of being a level five lord. Wang Xiao did not even have to take action in four of the secret realms!
After this battle, not only did Wang Xiao obtain more than 30 [Breakthrough Stones], but he also obtained countless resources like spirit grass and ores. After selling them to Lin Xiang, not only did he earn back the 1 million star coins he gave as a gift, but he even earned a little more than 100,000! “Dashan is right. You really never do business at a loss!”
Tang Longji stared fixedly at Wang Xiao and said coldly, his tone filled with resentment, “I was wondering why you were so generous when you gave the gifts. Could it be that you’ve already thought of letting me pay the bill?” Wang Xiao chuckled. “Uncle Tang, don’t bicker with a junior like me, right?”
Tang Longji snorted and did not say anything. Wang Xiao was about to say something when the communicator in his pocket suddenly rang.
Wang Xiao was stunned. It was already late at night.. Who would look for him so late at night?
