Chapter 23: Negotiation I

Shen Yi's words were like a thunderbolt, which made the fat man dizzy.

Not only him, but even Wen Rou and others looked at Shen Yi in disbelief.

The King of Pain, Duriel, Lu Gaoyin's most powerful mission boss, and the Hell Demon King who is stronger than Andariel, Shen Yi actually asked the fat man to fight him alone?

Is this guy crazy?

The fat man looked at Shen Yi in a daze: "Old ...... Top dog...... You...... You ......"

He was so frightened by Shen Yi that he couldn't even speak, he could only look at his boss with pleading eyes, Shen Yi looked at the fat man with a smile: "What's the matter, scared?"

The fat man gritted his teeth and did not speak.

He knew he couldn't say the word "afraid."

After joining the Broken Blades team for so long, he has gradually understood many truths.

In the bloody city, a person can be incompetent, arrogant, or even stupid, but he must not be timid and cowering. In order to survive in a place like Bloody City, the basic quality that adventurers need to have is to dare to fight.

Without this foundation, all good qualities are bullshit.

He was able to join the Broken Blades team because in the X-Men mission, he stood up and fought bravely at the last critical moment. Although he played a small role, the explosion at that moment made Shen Yi see the potential of the fat man, so he accepted him.

If the fat man said the word "afraid" today and said that he didn't dare to accept this task, then Shen Yi might not force him, but he would definitely be disappointed in him.

He didn't want to disappoint Shen Yi, he didn't want to disappoint the team, and most importantly, he also believed that Shen Yi would never push him to his death.

So after a pause, he said, "No, boss, I'm not afraid. If you want me to be a Halo Warrior, I can try. ”

Shen Yi looked at him with a smile.

The fat man in front of him had a simple expression, he was obviously scared to death, but he insisted on supporting him and not retreating, which was also what Shen Yi admired him the most.

There is a type of person in this world who may not perform well in ordinary times and have very little courage, but they can often burst out with amazing strength in desperate situations.

The fat man is obviously this kind of person, but it's a pity that he has been under Shen Yi's wing for too long, and he gradually doesn't know how to fly solo.

Nodding with satisfaction, Shen Yi hugged the fat man: "Very good, this is my brother." Don't worry, I'm not going to let you die that easily. ”

The fat man sighed, he didn't know what Shen Yi had planned, but his long-term inertia had gradually made him learn to trust Shen Yi unconditionally.

Shen Yi glanced around at his teammates, and then said, "I know you all wonder why I asked Luo Hao to choose the profession of Halo Warrior. I have three reasons. First, this profession is strong enough, and it can ensure the improvement of the overall strength of the team. Second, with the halo effect, it is possible to better attract the adventurist opponent, otherwise he will not be able to exert his true value only by imprisoning the chains. The Triple Halo Samurai's career quest takes the shortest amount of time and is the easiest to perform. We don't have much time to waste, and challenging it becomes the best option. ”

King Kong immediately replied, "I'll admit you're right, it would be nice to have an aura warrior on the team, but the question is can he do it?

"You don't have to worry about that. Since I dare to let Luo Hao fight, of course there is a way to let him survive. When he's actually fighting, I'll give him the T1000, the Ant Set, the Starlight Necklace, and all the other equipment that will help him get stronger. ”

Hearing Shen Yi's words, everyone was obviously relieved.

It turned out that Shen Yi wanted to use the method of equipment transfer to instantly strengthen one person, so as to achieve the goal.

With the strength of the fat man, even with these equipment, it is impossible to match Duriel, but on the contrary, if it only lasts for three minutes, it is very promising. What's more, the Broken Blade team now has two big killing weapons in their hands, the team assembly order and the space gate, even if they can't beat it, they can always escape.

However, King Kong was still worried: "The question is, in that case, how can we face competition from other sides?"

"Where is the competition?" Shen Yi asked rhetorically.

These words made King Kong stunned: "Those adventurers ......"

Shen Yi quickly interrupted him: "They won't be a problem! Believe me, no matter whether it's time or adventurers, it won't be a problem!"

Everyone was dizzy when they heard this, but Shen Yi had already strode to Deccakairn's side and said, "Dear Elder, we can accept your request. We will do our part to protect Rugoin and defend this wonderful land. ”

Bite!

The Blood Emblem sounded: "You have accepted Dicakane's commission: to retrieve the lost staff. Mission execution time: From the official start of the main quest in the second arena to the full end of the mission in the second arena. ”

"The mission was successful, and the friendship level increased by 200 points. If the mission fails, 5,000 blood points will be deducted. ”

――――――――――

In the center of the city is the most prosperous commercial area in Lugoin.

Shen Yi and the others found a hotel to live in here - the mission will not start until tomorrow, and they have to find a place to eat and stay.

Interestingly, most of the other adventurers also chose to settle in the same inn, and the adventurers who had been fighting each other a few hours ago became neighbors at this moment.

In the room, Shen Yi was standing at the window looking out, and some adventurers were walking around the streets, probably trying to find a way to find out the news, to see if they could officially get the news about the specific address of the mission point before the start of the mission tomorrow.

Hong Lang was playing computer games with Zeus, and his simple nerves couldn't accommodate any superfluous thoughts, anyway, everything was up to Shen Yi.

The fat man was holding his face in a daze, obviously still worried about his upcoming task, fortunately, Shen Yi did not ask him to take the task immediately, but just asked him to wait first, as for what to wait for, he didn't tell him. For him, it was good to accept this task if he could, although Shen Yi had already made careful arrangements for him, but when he thought of the Hell Demon King Du Ruier he was going to face, he couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

As for Zhou Yiyu, she had already gone to the next room to talk to Ai Wei, and Wen Rou was discussing with King Kong what to do next.

King Kong was holding a pen and paper, drawing on them, and muttering: "If you want to complete the continuous mission, you must complete the second and third main tasks." In addition, we need to send people to the Temple of Death, and we will also have Duriel in our hands...... That's the four points. ”

"We now have 12 people, and each point sends three, and the number of people is far from enough, and it is impossible to win them all. Gently sighed, glared at Shen Yi at the window, and muttered softly: "I really don't know what he thinks, he even wants us to gather the equipment and hand it over to the fat man." No one can be together, how can we give? Give him, what should we do?"

The more they analyzed, the more they felt that the hope of success was slim, and they sighed together sadly, Shen Yi's plan sounded good, but it was really too difficult to implement.

Shen Yi smiled: "Hey, don't you look sad like this, okay? Have a little confidence in your captain, OK?"

King Kong spread his hands: "It's not that I don't have confidence in you, but I really can't find any solution to the problem in the current situation." Yes, we're the strongest of all now, but your appetite is bigger than ours. The main quest has three points, and the quest has one point in a row, which means that we have to eat half of the quest in the second arena. ”

Shen Yi replied lazily: "Didn't we get half of the task before?"

Gentle immediately replied, "That's different. In the first competition field, we only have to face the threat of adventurers, and Zhou Yiyu's speed advantage. As long as you rush to the place and kill them, even so, it is not half the task. At least the contribution points of Andariel's mission are not our share. But in the second arena, we will not only face adventurers, but even the target monsters will become less difficult to deal with. Shen Yi, we may be able to clear the mission points with only three people, but it is impossible to ensure that we can grab the bounty points without other adventurers watching and making trouble. You want too much, I'm afraid you won't get anything then. ”

"In that case, let's not let other adventurers be our stumbling blocks. ”

King Kong was gentle at the same time, and they glanced at each other.

King Kong said in a shocked tone: "You don't want to kill them all, do you?"

Shen Yi laughed out loud: "How is it possible? Don't say you can't do it, even if you can do it, it's impossible to do it." ”

He turned his head to look at the sky outside, and after a while, he said leisurely: "You are still used to violent thinking, and when you encounter problems, you always want to solve them by killing. In fact, killing is always the worst way to solve a problem. The best way to solve problems can only be at the negotiating table. ”

"Negotiations?"

"That's right, negotiate!" Shen Yi turned to look at King Kong: "Why do you think Bloody City wants to keep a buffer time between competitions? ”

"Who are you talking to?" asked gently.

"Of course, it's a strong target...... Team Windforest and Team Nanhai. ”

"How?"

"Talk according to the rules we have set!"

"Why?"

The questions followed one after another, fast and urgent, and Shen Yi's answer was equally thoughtless.

"Just by virtue of the fact that we defeated the Dragon's Tooth team in the first arena and won half of the mission, from now on, we are the boss, and we are qualified to be the one who decides how this competition unfolds!"

King Kong, looking at Shen Yi gently, even the fat man who was immersed in games and thinking bitterly also paid attention to Shen Yi.

Negotiation!

The members of the Broken Blade team finally understood Shen Yi's intentions, and they really understood what the competition mode was.

The core meaning of the coopetition model is to show your fists first, confirm your strength, and then strive to become the maker of the rules of the game after you have enough strength.

Cooperation is never fair, and the strong can never share the benefits equally with the weak.

Because of this, because the adventurers are not familiar with each other, there is no basis for negotiation, and they can only start a life-and-death contest first. When we arrived at the second competition venue, with the display of everyone's strength, we got to know each other better, and the foundation of cooperation began to sprout.

In such a situation, blind confrontation and cannibalism have become meaningless.

The participating parties divide the territory according to their strength, divide the interests equally, and formulate the rules of the game, and it is a better choice for the strong to exploit the weak. The previous brutal race model will become a great power game like the United Nations, where the weaker will either choose to cling to each other or be ruthlessly eliminated in the cruel competition.

Shen Yi was very smart and did not choose to continue to kill by force, but immediately made a plan to unite all parties after properly showing his strength, which gave him more room to exert himself, thus avoiding internal conflicts and threats from among adventurers.

Of course, in the upcoming negotiations, how the rules will be formulated and who will get more benefits from them will ultimately depend on whose fists are harder and whose level of negotiation is higher.

In this regard, both Shen Yi and his team members have full confidence in their captain.

King Kong Huo stood up: "I'm going to ask the two team bosses to come over." ”

"There's no need for that. Gentle said suddenly: "They have come." ”

There was a knock at the door.

A nice female voice sounded: "Is Captain Shen Yi here?"
