Chapter 577: Bargaining
"Quite simply, I want her to assist me with my research."
Hearing Stephen's question, Zheng Shu chuckled lightly and stretched out his hand to point to an empty place in the room.
Stephen was stunned for a moment, and then he understood why Zheng Shu was pointing here, because with Zheng Shu's voice, Zhen's figure also appeared from the air.
It was clear that during the conversation between the two, the human wolf was also following Stephen at all times.
At this time, Jane's eyes and movements were full of vigilance, and her body involuntarily assumed a defensive posture, and her fingers had already touched the firearm on her leg.
As long as Zheng Shu has something wrong, he will immediately pull out a gun and shoot.
Although even Jane herself knows that according to this guy's strength, firearms have no effect on him at all.
"Assist with research?" A hint of coldness flashed in Stephen's eyes, "Maybe I'm going to disappoint Your Excellency, Jane is not a professional researcher, if you need to, I can introduce you to a few research rooms, the researchers in them are professional enough." ”
"That's not true, I have my own access to professional researchers and research labs and are more advanced, and the reason why I chose her is because I am very interested in her abilities and want to study it." Zheng Shu pursed his lips and said indifferently.
“!!!”
With Zheng Shu's words, the atmosphere in the room immediately changed.
The atmosphere that was originally quite relaxed immediately became heavy, and Zhen, who was already in a state of vigilance, also disappeared in place, although it had not completely entered the state of extreme dilution, Zheng Shu also felt that the other party had become quite difficult to observe.
And Jane's body is half-hidden in the wall, and she will flee immediately if the situation is not right.
Stephen's face had completely turned cold.
No, not only his face, but even his body was cold, Zheng Shu could even see a large area of ice mist spreading from under his feet, and the places where the soles of his feet touched the house had even frozen.
"If I'm not mistaken, you mean that you want my partner to be your experiment?"
Stephen's tone was already quite stiff, and judging from his appearance, once Zheng Shu answered incorrectly, he would not hesitate to fight.
"Hey, hey, hey! Although they rented it to me, I live here now, and I would be very troubled if I destroyed the house casually! ”
Zheng Shu still looked relaxed, he didn't seem to realize the hostility in Stephen's tone, and just turned his attention to the feet that Stephen was in contact with the ground.
At this moment, the freezing range on the ground is getting larger and larger as time goes by, and although the speed is getting slower and slower, it has frozen an area of more than a meter around it in a short period of time.
Under the damage of such low temperatures, the wool carpet on the ground could not withstand such damage, and turned into ice cubes and shattered.
This made Zheng Shu feel a little headache, so that even if Stephen collected his strength later, the damage on the carpet on the ground was inevitable, and it would be ugly to have a big hole in the carpet at that time.
"This thing is counted as your mistake, remember to reimburse me."
Stephen frowned and followed Zheng Shu's finger to where he was pointing, froze at the sight of the destroyed woolen carpet under his feet.
Looking up at Zheng Shu with a relaxed expression again, Stephen thought for a moment, and actually put away his strength.
The biting chill was lost, and the tense atmosphere in the room was slightly relaxed.
"Your Excellency has not answered my question."
Zheng Shu scratched his hair: "Ah...... I did intend to study the man-wolf's abilities, and it doesn't seem wrong to say it's an experiment. ”
“……”
After confirming that Zheng Shu was not joking, and was silent for a moment, Stephen sighed and shook his head:
"I'm sorry, but I can't fulfill this request, we in Lebra have no tradition of betraying our partners for profit."
"I don't plan on you to betray this partner of yours, but even if she really wants me, I don't want it." Zheng Shu leaned on the sofa and rolled her eyes, "I mean hire her for a while and let her assist me in some experiments." ”
After a pause, Zheng Shu added:
"Rest assured, these experiments are absolutely harmless and will not cause any physical damage to her. As for psychologically...... Generally speaking, it should be fine, but if her psychological state is more fragile than ordinary people, it is not certain, but under normal circumstances, it should be fine, probably. ”
Zheng Shu's more conservative and accurate statement that is biased towards scientific research did not dispel Stephen and Zhen's inner uneasiness, but rather aggravated it.
After all, Zheng Shu's statement is too much like the appearance of some crazy scientists inside.
"I'm sorry, but even though Lebrary and Jane are superiors and subordinates, I still don't have the authority to make decisions for her." Stephen casually found a reason.
Anyway, in his opinion, it is definitely impossible for Jane to take the initiative to be an experiment.
"This surprise visit is really disturbing Your Excellency, so we will leave now. As for your broken rug, I'll be sending someone to replace it with a new one soon. ”
Not wanting to stay here too much longer, Stephen planned to leave this room quickly, although this Zheng Shu seemed to have no malicious intentions, but the other party seemed to be different from ordinary people in some concepts.
The Warlock Guild's support for the space warlock will be a little later, so I have to wait, it always feels like it's better than the current mad scientist.
"Oh...... Okay, it's a pity, in fact, my experiment will not only not cause harm to the human wolf, but if you are lucky, you can also increase the strength of the human wolf's talent. ”
Zheng Shu showed some regret, but he didn't feel any pity.
After all, even if Jane doesn't cooperate much, he can slowly obtain relevant information by simply relying on his observation ability, but in this way, the speed is much slower.
Fortunately, Zheng Shu himself is not short of things like lifespan, so slow down.
"It's more reassuring to rely on your own training for this thing." Stephen tugged at the corners of his mouth and smiled politely, "Then I won't bother Your Excellency." ”
"Wait."
Just as Stephen was about to leave, a woman's voice appeared in the room.
Zheng Shu looked at Jane with interest, although the two have met many times, but this is the first time to say that they have really met.
Jane is a beautiful woman with short hair and purple eyes, and she is also quite in shape, wearing a black suit, and she looks exceptionally capable.
Being looked at by Zheng Shu, although Zhen still maintained her expressionless appearance, her mental power had become a little cramped and flustered.
She glanced at Stephen, who looked shocked at the door, but quickly settled down: "Is it true that what you said can strengthen my abilities?" ”
"No, no, no, I didn't say that, I said that it was possible to strengthen your abilities." Zheng Shu shook his finger and corrected, "Although I already have a certain level of understanding of the relevant abilities, I can't be completely sure before I draw conclusions. ”
Zheng Shu's denial did not make Jane retreat, but made her fall into thought.
If Zheng Shu directly said that she would definitely be able to improve her ability, she might be confused, but since this attitude is like this, it shows the truth of what the other party said.
The combat power of the human wolf itself is not very strong, and if you really want to say that the more powerful offensive ability is probably the ability to sneak the arm into the enemy's body and hold their heart or brain to kill them in a diluted situation.
However, the moment you pinch and explode your heart or brain, the dilution of the human wolf's arm itself will drop a lot, and if you are unlucky, you will be injured or even killed if you are hit by an attack during this period.
After all, the physical fitness of human wolves is only at the level of ordinary people, and even if they only show a few fingers, it is dangerous enough.
Therefore, even with such an ability to defy the sky, what humans and wolves can do is quite limited, and what they can do can basically only be concentrated in the intelligence area without violating public order and good customs.
The two contacts with Zheng Shu gave Jane a considerable sense of crisis, and less than a year after being connected to the other world, monsters that could see through their dilution appeared, and even a genius like Jane among human wolves needed to be diluted to the point that his existence disappeared in order to escape.
So Jane now has to think about the possibility of encountering the same type of enemy in the future, the only ability of the human wolf is "invisible", and if even this ability is cracked by the enemy, then she will lose her only role.
"Jane? Are you sure? It's going to be studied as an experiment! Stephen turned back from the doorway, his face worried.
Zheng Shu blinked his eyes and decided to talk to the fan in front of him:
"I have a feeling that you have a misunderstanding of the 'research' thing, and that very few people do destructive examinations on cherished samples, and generally do it as little as possible to do any damage to it."
Stephen narrowed his eyes and stared at Zheng Shu, his face full of disbelief, he didn't think that a "mad scientist" like the other party would really follow this principle.
"I always feel like you guys have inexplicably added a strange label to me, and I'm inexplicably a little unhappy." Zheng Shu pinched the bridge of his nose.
After thinking about it, Zheng Shu proposed again: "In this way, if you are really not at ease, how about I invite you to watch every time I let this Miss Human Wolf assist in research?" Or simply do your research at the premises you provide. ”
"Huh? Is that okay? ”
Stephen's eyes lit up, and Jane, who was originally a little hesitant next to him, was also a little moved.
If this is the case, then at least you can make sure that the "sent" research topic you are involved in is not something too scary.
"Ah, no problem, anyway, with the level of knowledge you just showed, you shouldn't be able to understand what I want to study."
Zheng Shu waved his hand very generously, but the words he said made Stephen's muscles burst out involuntarily.
However, although he was flattened by the other party, Stephen had to start thinking carefully about the feasibility of this matter.
After struggling for a moment, he still gave up the choice to Jane: "What do you think?" ”
From the perspective of the Lebra organization, Stephen certainly hopes that Jane can stay and assist in the research, after all, the risk is controllable and there is a good return, and the reward saved alone is quite considerable.
And if she's lucky, Jen's abilities may also improve.
As Zhen thought, because Zheng Shu's insight was too amazing, Stephen also discovered the limitations of the human wolf's ability.
Zhen didn't think about it for too long, after all, the conditions given by Zheng Shu were generous enough: "Okay, I agreed!" ”
"Okay! Then the time to assist in the research will be after I help you complete the space technique! Well...... What do you think of three months? ”
"No way, Jane is an important intelligence agent of Lebra, it is impossible to spend so long researching with you!"
Now that the two sides have reached an agreement, the next time for bargaining comes where Stephen does best:
"One week! And assist with research for up to four hours a day. ”
"Twenty-eight hours I can make a fart! Are you going to bargain?! Twelve hours a day for two months! Zheng Shu stretched out two fingers.
"No! During the research process, we need to be accompanied by someone from Leibra, which is equivalent to holding two people at a time, and we can't take such a long time! Stephen shook his head firmly, "Two weeks, six hours a day!" ”
"I don't think you're planning to close this deal! No......"
……
……
The two finally agreed on the condition that Jane would assist Zheng Shu in his research for one month, and no more than six hours a day.
Both sides are very happy with the result.
In fact, with the assistance of the Wolf Bureau, Lebra's side will not lack intelligence-related support, but after all, he has to make a certain gesture.
As for Zheng Shu...... He's just playing.
For Zheng Shu, as long as this matter is done, the goal has been achieved, even if the other party only asks Zhen to assist him for one day.
The focus of Zheng Shu's proposal is not to study the ability of human wolves, but to "study other creatures" itself.
With this cooperation, it means that the relevant cooperation between the two parties has improved from 0 to 1, and the next time Zheng Shu meets other things that he wants to study, it will be easier to make a similar proposal to be accepted.
Once this goal is accomplished, nothing else matters.
Stephen's movements were fast, and the next day Zheng Shu was led by the old butler Gilbert to the headquarters building in Lebra.
"Yes, your Lebra's economic strength is considerable, and you can buy such a building." Zheng Shu looked at the high-rise building hidden in the dense fog on the top floor in front of him with some admiration.
He could feel that the interior of this high-rise building had a large number of protective techniques, and when the firepower was fully opened, the defense and firepower would definitely not be inferior to the Hanging Gardens he had seen in the Moon World.
This is not an edifice at all, but a fortress of war!
Thank you Taishang Daluo Tianxian Wanshou Emperor readers for the two rewards, thank you for your support.
