#428 - Chapter 428 The Prince of the Empire
“What can you do?”
A male voice, completely different from the silver-masked man in front of him, came from the next room.
As he spoke, a man pushed open the side door of the room Wu Wei was in and walked in.
This man had long black hair and eyes identical to Shi Yinuo.
Only...
Unlike the slightly thin Shi Yinuo.
This man was a bit more muscular.
Okay, actually, it was a lot more.
Even as a man, this man's figure was extremely robust.
His arms were a bit thicker than Wu Wei's thighs.
When he walked into the room, Wu Wei felt like a bear had barged in.
If he wasn't wearing the royal uniform, his long hair would easily lead to misunderstandings...
————————
“Kill me?”
Shi Renjun crossed his arms, smiling as he sat on the sofa in the room, looking at Wu Wei.
“Yes.”
“That's right...”
But strangely.
Even when facing Shi Renjun, the empire's prince, Wu Wei showed no fear.
On the contrary, he was looking at Shi Renjun with extremely indifferent eyes, as coldly as he had looked at the silver-masked man before.
Their gazes collided in the room.
The atmosphere was becoming tense.
However...
“Pfft... Hahahaha!”
“Interesting!”
“You're an interesting kid!”
Suddenly, Shi Renjun burst into laughter, seeming very happy.
Laughing, the bear-like man stood up and extended a hand to the silver-masked man who was still coughing on the ground.
“Alright, my old friend.”
“Get up quickly.”
“Hahaha, I didn't expect you to be taken down by a kid like this.”
“And physically taken down!”
The silver-masked man, after being helped up, said helplessly.
“Your Highness, it's my fault for being useless.”
“Because I'm not a Lord, my physical fitness in the real world is far inferior to his...”
He said this because the real world and the Lord Era were connected.
All humans who had attribute bonuses in the Lord Era also had slight attribute bonuses in the real world.
Although these bonuses were unstable and not significant.
But Lords generally had more attributes than ordinary people, which was why Wu Wei could easily handle him.
“It's alright, it's alright, my old friend...”
Shi Renjun said with a smile, then had the man sit on the sofa next to him.
For a long time, neither of them spoke to Wu Wei, as if he didn't exist.
However, after all of that, Shi Renjun finally spoke to Wu Wei.
“Kid, oh no, Wu Wei.”
“Sit down.”
“Let's talk again.”
“Talk about what?”
Wu Wei narrowed his eyes, speaking warily, showing no intention of sitting down.
“Hey, hey, hey!”
Seeing Wu Wei so wary, Shi Renjun laughed again.
He really had an infectious smile.
Despite his bear-like physique, his smile gave off a harmless feeling.
“I just gave you someone worth over ten billion, okay?”
“Putting everything else aside, just for the sake of these ten billion, do you think asking you to chat is too much to ask?”
“What if we have a good chat and I give you another ten billion?”
“After all, I'm one of the richest people in the entire empire.”
“Oh?”
Hearing this, Wu Wei's expression changed.
“Then let's chat a little.”
“Ahem, let me state in advance that my acceptance of resource points is far higher than world coordinates.”
“In other words, if you're willing to exchange those world coordinates for resource points, then I don't mind listening.”
“Haha, you brat, you're indeed a profit-driven guy, just like the information said!”
Shi Renjun laughed again.
He really loved to laugh.
But in Wu Wei's eyes, every time this guy laughed, he was "disguising" something.
He could tell this through the Vision of War.
“But since you're a profit-driven guy, just like the information said, then I think we can talk.”
“I won't waste any more words.”
“Wu Wei, I need to cooperate with you!”
“Cooperate?”
Wu Wei narrowed his eyes and glanced at the man next to him.
“Are you sure it's not a pawn?”
“Of course not!”
“Pawns are pawns! Cooperation is cooperation!”
Shi Renjun said with a smile.
“My old friend doesn't know much about the Lord Era.”
“So his meaning is not entirely equal to mine.”
“My view of pawns is a bit different from his.”
“In my eyes, those who wholeheartedly want to be pawns and whose abilities only allow them to be pawns are the ones I see as pawns.”
“But those who are unwilling to be pawns and have the ability to escape the fate of becoming pawns are not pawns.”
“I see those people as partners!”
“And you are that kind of person!”
Faced with Shi Renjun's flattery, Wu Wei was not moved in the slightest.
Coming for money, he didn't care about these comments that sounded like empty promises.
He opened his mouth and said coldly.
“Alright, these things are not important to me.”
“I just want to know how I can cooperate with you, no.”
“To be precise, how can I get the second ten billion that belongs to me from your hands!”
Although Wu Wei extremely detested power struggles.
But when power struggles involved money, especially money that Wu Wei might get, Wu Wei was not so resistant to power struggles.
“Good, I like your straightforward way of speaking.”
Shi Renjun nodded in satisfaction upon hearing Wu Wei say this.
“Since you've figured it out, then I'll be direct.”
“I'm going to give you a few tasks, and as long as you can complete them, I'll pay you!”
“You don't need to understand the causes and consequences of these tasks.”
“But as long as you complete them, you'll get a lot of objective wealth!”
“Don't get me wrong, the large amount of wealth I'm talking about is a large amount of wealth in my eyes.”
“In your eyes, this large amount of wealth is likely to be a terrifying number.”
“Is that so?”
“But I won't agree.”
Wu Wei shook his head, refusing him.
“Why do you say that?”
“You don't even know what these tasks are yet.”
Shi Renjun said.
“Because...”
“As the empire's eldest prince, your strength should far exceed mine.”
“I can't understand why you wouldn't take this money yourself, but instead give it to me to complete these tasks?”
“It doesn't make sense!”
“I see....” Shi Renjun looked at Wu Wei, who had a serious face, and nodded.
“Just like it says in the information, Wu Wei, you really are an idiot!”
“Huh?”
