Book 2: The Chamber of the Dead, 32.

Bollivan's careful thinking, Chen Xi knew that the way was clear, but he didn't care at all, and even thanked this kind of lion's loud mouth. Because what he did was not what the other party imagined, he planned to repay the favor.

If it is really to buy people's hearts, although it will agree, it will definitely not be such a high price.

What is the purpose of buying people's hearts, it is not that the benefits brought by the other party will be greater than the cost you pay, otherwise there is no value of investment, and the parties naturally consider to obtain the most return with the least price.

But the other way he is about to do is to exchange for the same value, but the higher the cost, the greater the benefit in return.

Chen Xi wished that Bolivan would raise the price so that the "governor" would work for him longer.

"You're saying you're going to hire me with this piece of equipment!"

When Chen Xi brought the electromagnetic protective armor to the "governor" and made that request, Rao couldn't help but show obvious surprise with the indifferent expression of the "governor" for ten thousand years, and ordinary people would not give up such a good opportunity to win over, not to mention that this person had helped him before, as long as it was not a particularly excessive request, he thought about agreeing.

"Yes, I don't intend to make you owe any favors, and then ask you to do it with an uncertain goal, in fact, I think this way is very ridiculous, no one is a fool, this kind of seduction with what others urgently need, is more like a kind of moral coercion, if you don't comply, you still don't comply, and compliance will also leave a stalk in your heart, it's better to set the price, you love me."

Chen Xi said in a businesslike tone. From the previous performance of the "governor", it can be seen that the success rate of this practice is certainly not worth expecting, and the guy in front of him is definitely an unsociable, self-centered, and even some kind of strange person.

Just talking about the bloodline of that kind of exchange, it is not something that normal people can think of. If you can withstand the fact that your body is torn apart and eaten by other creatures, you can know how strong this guy's psychological state must be. In the case of a stumbling in the heart, it's too easy to talk a little bit and don't count, it's better to use the way of paying to let this guy help do things, not to mention that the success rate is greater.

What's more, most of the people here are Caucasian, and judging from their concept of abiding by the spirit of the contract, if they still violate it, they will simply isolate themselves from the whole team.

Chen Xi likes to consider one thing with the worst possibility, so he also continued to follow this line of thought: "I calculate the total value by the contribution degree I pay, and if you target me or have a threatening monster, you can cancel the corresponding contribution after you kill me, and you can also get the original share." ”

"This is tantamount to protection in disguise, but aren't you afraid that I will deliberately let some monsters go to kill you, in this case, I don't have to pay off the debts in the future." The governor's gaze turned twice on Chen Xi's face, and he deliberately said viciously.

Faced with this kind of pretentious gesture of intimidation, Chen Xi did not answer immediately, but simply threw the armor in his hand over, and then said with a smile: "Compared to this, I am more worried that when you die, most of it will not be returned." ”

"Okay." Easily took it, and the "governor" wore it directly on the spot.

Originally, Chen Xi was worried that this armor seemed to be smaller, and it would not fit well when he wore it, but this worry was obviously redundant. The Governor's body moved, shrinking in a circle at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then slipped into it very easily.

"With this feature, I seem to have thought of a great way to use it."

In the next second, Chen Xi's gaze became weird, and he casually glanced at a certain part, and he instantly understood the reason why this guy would exchange this bloodline for Lu is understood by men.

…………

In addition to this discovery, which was enough to make a large group of men envious and jealous, the following facts proved that his preparation to hire this helper was necessary.

As mentioned earlier, in order to attract popularity and maintain viewing, this show will keep the battles on the road intense and thrilling at a pace. The difficulty at the beginning is basically fixed, and it is the kind that applies to all participating teams.

But for them who are all evolutionaries, the difficulty of this kind of big road must be a little low. As for the problem that there will be death and a big move to pass on the Bolivan side, it is purely Chen Xi who deliberately framed and guided most of the danger to that side, in order to lower the expectations of the managers and artificially lower the initial difficulty.

However, once the Bolivians learned to keep up with the march of the large army and did not leave their side alone, the previous approach was completely useless. In this way, each wave of monster attacks needs to be borne by the whole team, and the high danger borne by the small army will be evenly distributed to the whole team, and the attack intensity of the monsters must have decreased a lot.

In order to ensure the overall difficulty, since the type of monsters cannot be changed, the practice of the show is naturally to increase the number of monsters attacking.

So from the second wave to safely solve the attacks on the road, the number of monsters in the third wave increased dramatically.

This sudden change almost caught them off guard and fell directly into a collapse situation, and in the end, they still relied on the shield of electromagnetic protective armor to survive this wave. But the next two waves have also been thrilling, one of them belongs to the idle evolutionary on the side of the three brothers, and because the armor is depleted, he was hit by an acid bomb, and the whole person was melted into a puddle of protein slime.

It can be seen that the intensity of the monster attack is so great that almost everyone is almost at full strength, except for the performative nature, after the sudden change in the number of the third wave, several smart people have realized what they can do to reduce the difficulty of the road safely and effectively.

So, Chen Xi was unlucky.

Don't forget, no matter how wicked he was in the previous process, but when it comes to personal strength, as a newcomer who has only experienced a mission, he is the lowest one among the all.

Being able to appear comfortable in combat is entirely due to his ability to turn all the conditions in his favor into an advantage, that is, the level of shamelessness is high, for example, following the powerful party and giving the front to the thigh (Kolchak), or he can lead to trouble and sell cannon fodder to the enemy (the Diaspora Evolvers and the Bollivan gang), which is simply more obscene, more timid, and more afraid of death than the others.

But at this time, everyone else was too busy to take care of themselves, and there were still extra conditions to be used by him. If it weren't for the "governor's" laborious practice of selling meat (spilling the meat on his body at the monster), Chen Xi would have to fight more protective power and hole cards to safely survive these waves of danger.

Thankfully, the situation didn't last long, and with the arrival of the first level, a long-awaited opportunity to reduce the difficulty finally presented to him. Although in the eyes of some, this is also an opportunity for them.

At this time, after nearly an hour of traveling, they had crossed several streets and arrived in front of a large underground square.

The sign above the entrance has a humorous read: "Welcome to the first level, please choose your death carefully". A large billboard on the left shows a road map that shows the structure of the underground plaza

It's a complex circular structure, and in a phrase that most of the boys who have accompanied the girl through the underground mall will agree with: "God knows, how can she find that store accurately in such a labyrinthine place".

It is crisscrossed by hundreds of passages, each of which is connected by a number of forks and marked with different colors. The final exit is at the end of the maze at the same level as the entrance.

Of course, this is only a relatively minor point, the point is that after reading a large number of customs clearance requirements listed next to it, some people's faces turned very dark, and after biting each other's ears for a while, they surrounded each other under the leadership of Bolivin.

"We have to work hard about how to allocate manpower, routes, and weapons and equipment to increase the speed of our advance."

As for the second half of Bollivan's sneer, it is obviously aimed at him, who has been in a state of soy sauce for a long time on this road, and wants to fight local tyrants and divide the land.

"I know that whenever the environment becomes sinister, there will always be some greedy and cunning fellows who can't wait to jump out like a wild dog that smells meat, and then go further and further down the road to death."

Looking at the Bollivan group who looked resentful again, plus a few guys who looked evasive, Chen Xi felt that this analogy was really appropriate.
