Chapter 40: The Old Fox and the Little Fox
Lao Li, as the secretary of a certain boss before the end of the world, his ability to answer the call is naturally very outstanding, and he saw Wang Sheng and Marcas talking there with a straight mouth, and soon participated.
In the end, he quietly turned the topic to the gift that Wang Sheng said, and at the same time, it also aroused Marcas's curiosity about this so-called gift.
"Naturally, I won't break my promise to give you a big gift, but what do you have in return? You don't want to be so big of a good thing just by just one mouth, right? How can there be such a good thing in the world? Wang Sheng looked at Lao Li with a smile and said.
"Let's talk about what the gift is! Don't be something useless and make you blow like the real thing. "Lao Li is also a person who does not see rabbits and does not scatter eagles.
"That's why I'm going to wait until Uncle Marcus arrives to tell you, and only he knows how big the gift will be." Wang Sheng said with a disdainful expression.
"When you say that, I'm even more curious, what kind of thing would make me feel like a great gift." Marcus listened and said curiously.
"A space-time tunnel, a stable space-time channel, and its exit is near the Shudu base." Wang Sheng said word by word.
"What? Are you telling the truth? Marcus stood up and asked incredulously.
"Nature is true, if it's fake, it's too easy to be debunked, am I that stupid?" Wang Sheng said a little speechlessly.
"If that's the case, that's great, so that this base can be directly connected to Azeroth, Lee, you're so lucky!" Marcus also said with a look of surprise.
Even if he didn't understand how big this gift Wang Sheng was talking about, looking at Marcas's reaction, Lao Li also knew that this gift was definitely extraordinary.
What's more, Lao Li is not stupid, he heard Makas's words "directly connected to Azeroth", even if he doesn't play games, he also learned from Marcas's conversation that Azeroth is Marcas's hometown.
Although he didn't know what Azeroth was like, after seeing the power of Marcas, he believed that the people there must be much stronger than the earthlings.
"So, with the help of a few more people like Mr. Marcas, then the Shudu base will soon be able to recover the lost territory around it?" Lao Li also said excitedly.
"Li, if this space-time passage really exists, what you get is even bigger than you think, and combatants, construction machinery, and even survival materials can be obtained, which is equivalent to having a stable rear."
Before Wang Sheng could speak, Marcus was there dancing and explaining to Lao Li, as if he had gotten some treasure, which was why Wang Sheng had always thought he was cute.
Having said that, if Lao Li didn't know the importance of that space-time channel, then he would really be a mallet, and there would be no need to continue to manage this base.
"Quick! Mr. Wang, tell me the location of that space-time passage, and we can discuss all your requests. Lao Li said a little uncontrollably.
"Really? All the requirements? Wang Sheng's eyes lit up after hearing this.
"That's right! All requirements. Lao Li nodded affirmatively and said.
"Huh? Wrong! Consult? Lao Li, you old fox, almost caught your way. I don't want to negotiate, I want to say yes. And you don't want to say yes to all the requests, just one is fine. ”
Wang Sheng saw that Lao Li agreed so simply, and suddenly reacted. Think about it, how can the guy who almost became the leader of Shu before the end of the world get carried away so easily?
Lao Li saw that Wang Sheng reacted, a look of loss flashed on his face, and then he began to think.
I didn't think that Wang Sheng would come out with such a big gift, but as long as he agreed to a condition, then there must be a great benefit in this condition, and if he rashly agreed, it was likely that the Shudu base would suffer huge losses.
"If you don't agree, forget it, it's a big deal, everyone will break up. You could also ask Uncle Marcus to help you find the plane-spaced portal, but I can tell you responsibly that you won't be able to find it within a year. ”
"But you can think about how much benefit it is to the base with the big rear of Azeroth, an extra year of development time, not to mention that this year is the hardest year."
Wang Sheng looked at Lao Li's hesitant appearance and continued to pressure him, forcing him to make a decision as soon as possible.
However, what he said is also true, the space-time passage in the previous life will not be discovered by an instrument until a year later, which has led to the rapid development of the Shudu base.
In the year when there was no connection to the space-time channel, the Shudu base also experienced several monster sieges, and even almost fell by monsters once.
And every time a monster attacks the city, it will cause a large number of casualties, and if it weren't for the fact that the Shudu base has been actively rescuing the survivors, the Shudu base would also fall into the dilemma of underpopulation.
"Then tell me about your conditions, I can't agree to you on all conditions, right? I'll have to discuss it with the others, after all, although I'm the consul, the Shudu base is not my own. Lao Li finally compromised.
"Actually, it's not an excessive condition, when you recover Longxing Town, let me follow the large army but not interfere with my actions, and the body of the tyrant's walking corpse will belong to me."
"You seem to have two conditions, right?"
"Alright! I'm skinning, and now it's two conditions, okay? ”
Lao Li looked at Wang Sheng, "I'm a scoundrel, how can you drop?" He was speechless for a while, and finally covered his head and said, "Okay, you go back and wait for my news first." ”
"Uncle Marcus, shall we go first? I think it's better for you not to participate in this meeting, lest you lose your favor with this base. You say yes, Lao Li? Wang Sheng looked at Lao Li and Marcus angrily and said.
"Then please Mr. Marcus take a break, and we'll pick up the wind and dust for you in the evening." Lao Li did not refute Wang Sheng's words, but looked at Marcas apologetically and said.
Obviously, what Wang Sheng said is also true. This is also something that can't be helped, as the saying goes, "where there are people, there is a struggle", even the Shudu base, which seems to have been developing well in the previous life, is no exception.
It's just that in the current line of the previous life, the Shudu base is facing strong external pressure, and the management of the base has to unite to resist foreign enemies.
But now, with the advent of this space-time channel, and the powerful support it brings, those powerful external pressures will suddenly diminish a lot.
And without such strong external pressure, Wang Sheng expressed great doubts about whether the management of the Shudu base would still be as united as in his previous life.
This is also the reason why he will prevent Marcus from participating in that meeting, he does not want Marcus to have a bad opinion of the Shudu base because he sees the battle at the top of the base, after all, the strength of Azeroth's support is directly related to Marcas.
