Chapter 2027 - 2020: The Rise of Humans Is Inevitable
"500 million Supreme Crystals don’t matter?" The Wind Demon City Lord ignored Zhang Menglong’s latter sentence, since if it were him being robbed, unless the other party killed him outright, he would definitely retaliate in various ways to make the other party unbearably miserable.
"500 million Supreme Coins, is that a lot?" Zhang Menglong smiled, aware that he had tipped the balance of interests in the Wind Demon City Lord’s heart. "I wonder if this amount of Supreme Crystals is sufficient enough for the City Lord!"
"This..." The Wind Demon City Lord didn’t know what to say.
million Supreme Coins are more than enough; they are extremely sufficient! He could hardly wait to agree immediately! If he didn’t agree, he even suspected the Magical Extinct Beast might bite his head off!
The purpose of these City Lords is to earn a large amount of Supreme Crystals, but those Guardian Beasts are different. They have their own mission, which is to protect the strength and prosperity of their respective races.
Many races can hardly gather 1 million Supreme Crystals even after thorough searching, much less 500 million. To some extent, the number of Supreme Crystals also represents the prosperity level of a race. If they have enough wealth, they can buy all kinds of resources from other races to enhance their race’s power.
But he didn’t want to show that he had already gained a lot of profit, so he still had to make an effort to pretend.
Actually, Zhang Menglong could see through the little schemes of the Wind Demon City Lord, but to him, these things were nowhere near as precious as his time.
"500 million Supreme Crystals, 10,000 Supreme Weapons!"
"What did you say? Supreme Weapons? 10,000 pieces!"
This time, the Wind Demon City Lord bounced straight up from his seat.
In fact, these Supreme Weapons, although called by this name, do not truly reach that level. Otherwise, those Ultimate Life Forms would be scrambling to snatch them with red eyes. These so-called Supreme Weapons refer to weapons that are stained with some of the Ultimate Life Force.
If a Supreme Weapon falls into the hands of a peak Dao Realm expert, it can practically allow that person to sweep opponents in the Supreme Dao Realm!
Supreme Weapons can only drop from Warcraft, and the difficulty of obtaining them is even greater than that of Supreme Crystals, not even a tenth as much. Even seeing Supreme Weapons is exceptionally rare.
According to incomplete statistics, there are only a dozen Supreme Weapons in the Demon Clan even now, and even if some people have hidden them, they absolutely don’t exceed 50 pieces.
Zhang Menglong is actually willing to provide 10,000 Supreme Weapons!
"Are you sure? Are they really Supreme Weapons?"
"See for yourself!" Zhang Menglong casually took out several Supreme Weapons and placed them on the table.
Instantly, the red glow caused the Wind Demon City Lord’s eyes to reveal a look of excitement. He picked up one weapon with trembling hands, "That’s right! It’s a Supreme Weapon, this power is indeed of a Supreme Weapon!"
He truly couldn’t imagine what kind of methods could enable someone to possess this many Supreme Weapons. Zhang Menglong casually displayed four or five dozen pieces, which already completely surpassed the amount possessed by adventurers of their race!
In the entire world, Supreme Weapons are priceless; even Supreme Crystals may not be able to buy Supreme Weapons.
Once, at their auction, a Supreme Weapon appeared, and its starting bid was based on Supreme Crystals as the unit. Eventually, a base city’s leader gathered several tens of thousands of Supreme Crystals to snatch it from among many people.
The value brought by 10,000 Supreme Weapons is even several times more than 500 million Supreme Crystals.
"These things..."
"If these things are still not enough, then I have no way left," Zhang Menglong stood up, "Perhaps other races will be interested in these things of mine, I don’t necessarily have to use your Demon Clan’s Guardian Beast."
"Wait!" The Wind Demon City Lord suddenly realized that his previous hesitation made him seem a bit greedy.
Even a race stronger than the Ice Demon Race would likely be unable to refuse such temptation upon seeing these things. He was still dawdling here; it’s really hard not to provoke Zhang Menglong’s impatience.
"Alright!" The Wind Demon City Lord agreed immediately, "Wait for me, I’ll go discuss with the Magical Extinct Beast. You know, I only have the power of suggestion, not command."
"I’ll wait for you!"
The Wind Demon City Lord ordered his subordinates to entertain Zhang Menglong well, then hurriedly left alone.
With a smile, Zhang Menglong took a sip of tea. Just then, a small message came from Jin Kela; it had just received a new follower, a swarm of the Insect Clan with a population reaching 30 million. Their strength is quite decent, and they are now heading to the next Insect Clan’s nest, which happens to be on Zhang Menglong’s path. They can meet up at that spot.
Not long after, the Wind Demon City Lord returned in a hurry. The expression on his face looked extremely excited, clearly indicating that the issue had been resolved.
He handed Zhang Menglong a purple bell, "This is the token of the Magical Extinct Beast. When you need it, just shake it to make a sound, but you must understand that the Magical Extinct Beast won’t fight desperately for you. If the Ice Wing Dragon Bat’s attack is too fierce, it cannot risk everything to save you."
"It’s enough that it can intervene," Zhang Menglong smiled, "One Guardian Beast can’t beat the Ice Wing Dragon Bat, and neither can two. Perhaps five won’t be enough either. But what about ten, or twenty?"
"You plan to find ten or twenty Guardian Beasts too?" The Wind Demon City Lord’s mouth dropped open.
He suddenly realized one thing: Zhang Menglong fundamentally wasn’t planning to use some sneak-thief method to slip into Ice King City to complete the mission. His goal wasn’t merely to reclaim the Ice Demon Flower. He intended to turn the place upside down, and the mission was merely a small part of his actions this time.
"You’re truly ruthless!" The Wind Demon City Lord shook his head, but suddenly remembered the terms Zhang Menglong had just offered. If every race proposed such a price, he might possess over a billion Supreme Crystals and tens of thousands of Supreme Weapons...
How exactly did he achieve this? Did he find a Supreme Crystal mine or discover a Supreme Weapon’s treasure trove?
"Here are 500 million Supreme Crystals and 10,000 Supreme Weapons." Zhang Menglong handed him a spatial storage device, "The City Lord may count them. I have always conducted honest business, treating everyone fairly."
The Wind Demon City Lord scanned the items, and Zhang Menglong’s promised goods were indeed among them, "Then I wish the young brother a smooth journey!"
Zhang Menglong left Wind Demon City satisfied, and as soon as he departed, the Wind Demon City Lord immediately summoned a group of high-ranking officials.
"From now on, inform all tribespeople to try to establish good relations with the Humans, avoid conflicts as much as possible."
"Also, find someone to infiltrate Ice King City and observe what kind of commotion this Human named Zhang Menglong can cause there. If he returns alive... the entire world’s order might change due to his existence, and the rise of the Human race will be unstoppable!"
