Iris may not even remember it, but Su Mingan clearly remembers her performance in the fourth world.
Although it was well concealed, he could clearly see the disgust in her eyes and the condescension unique to the living aristocrats.
He looked at the Iris in front of him with a slightly frozen expression.
...It’s the same routine as Mizushima Kawaharu again.
No one seemed to listen to what he said to Mizushima Kawaharu in the fifth world.
Do those people think that he is young and energetic and doesn't care about money, so they always like to use this kind of beauty to seduce him?
"It seems that you don't remember, and neither does the person behind you." Su Mingan looked directly at her: "It doesn't matter, I'm running the live broadcast now, let me take a look..."
His gaze glanced up and to the right for a moment, then moved back before the barrage went crazy.
"With 400 million views, I'll start the live broadcast and repeat what I said before. Listen carefully."
Facing Iris who bit her lip slightly and looked aggrieved, he repeated what he said in the fifth world.
"...The so-called feelings are never that simple."
It doesn’t mean that if a woman is put in front of me and let me sleep with her, I will earn more. Such a measure of value is no different than that of a wild beast. "
Iris, I have seen your pride, and I have also seen you at your peak... You must remember that feelings are a very precious thing, and never turn yourself into a commodity to please anyone at any time. "
If this is your method of contacting me, this method is quite vulgar, and I have no good impression of you at all. "
After he said this, he ignored Iris who was tied in place and put the resource stones that were overturned on the ground into the backpack compartment one by one.
In the eyes of most people, Iris's seductive routine is simple but effective.
If he really agreed, then the other party might use the screen recording function to record the whole process and then threaten him with something like this.
...At that point, it would be difficult for him to refuse.
When he straightened up, he heard Iris say: "Player No. 1, please turn off the live broadcast first."
Su Mingan glanced at her.
"How about we talk about business?" The charming expression on Iris's face has completely disappeared.
"It should have been like this a long time ago." Su Mingan closed the live broadcast and started recording the screen.
"...Before this, can you please stop recording the screen?" Iris also noticed his screen recording gesture.
"Don't talk nonsense, I'll give you three minutes."
"..." Iris did not show a special expression, but maintained a peaceful attitude.
However, this attitude combined with her tied posture looked very funny.
"Su Ming'an, the number one player, I am Iris, from the Yuguo Storm Division, and I am the minister of the Skylark Faction," she said.
Su Mingan nodded.
"In the name of the Storm Division, we sincerely invite you to join..."
"If you don't want to join, come up with other conditions." Su Mingan interrupted.
"Perhaps you can listen to our conditions?" Before he could refuse, Iris popped out a series of conditions like popping beans: "As long as you grant us the right to use the name of the first player, every instance of your dungeon mission , we can send someone to give you the equipment and props you need. These include, but are not limited to, red-level equipment, space teleportation scrolls, large-scale blood recovery potions, etc. In addition, the Storm Branch has quite a comprehensive range of players. We have analyzed, You lack clue-exploring teammates, and we have a clear advantage in this regard..."
Su Ming'an sat on a chair nearby and listened patiently to what she said. Then he saw her say that they had also made a paper version of the treaty, and she could share it as long as he untied her restraints.
Su Mingan listened and then laughed.
He remembered that in the fourth world, Iris was still like a proud princess, with a superior attitude.
Until now, she was no different from Mizushima Kawaharu. She told him the conditions almost to please him and remained silent even if she was angry.
Her self-cultivation is indeed better than Mizushima Kawaharu, and her tone sounds very kind. But combined with the contrast before and after, he just found it funny.
...This is the changed world.
This is the world game.
Listening to his sarcastic laughter, Iris stopped speaking slightly.
She looked at Su Ming'an with slight confusion in her eyes.
"Personally, I don't understand your neutral behavior." Iris said: "Profilers and psychologists have analyzed the changes in your mentality. We believe that you actually need help in your heart. And From the facts, you do need help. So, what’s the point of mutual benefit..."
"I have listened to many people's conditions for me and read many emails." Su Mingan said calmly: "The benefits offered to me are nothing more than two, one is to give props, and the other is to give teammates."
Iris looked at him.
"As for these two benefits, for now, I don't need them at all." Su Mingan raised his eyelids: "Currently, I don't lack powerful equipment, and my teammates are also quite outstanding. So why did I agree to your invitation to join the third team? Lend a player's 'name' to you?"
"Humanity needs the future, and the future needs leadership." Iris said: "And we think that you don't know how to use your honor as a leader. There are still doubts about you on the forum."
"So, you just want my name to help me 'operate these'?" Su Mingan laughed again.
He was not one to laugh because of anything, but what Iris said really made him want to laugh.
But this is a common situation.
- It sounds so absurd and reasonable.
"Do you think I'm a star? Do I still need a studio to manage my name?" Su Mingan asked with a smile.
"In my opinion, you are a great, leader-like star." Iris said: "We have studied your lighthouse theory. You want to use the name of the number one player to lead everyone, right? So, let us further help you, arm you, and truly carry forward this name, there is nothing wrong with it. After the game is over, if you can stand to the end, you will have the most powerful strength, why do you care about us?"
Listening to Iris's words, Su Mingan's smile faded slightly.
...In fact, what Iris said "after the game is over" was exactly what Su Mingan was worried about.
These organizations... they want to win over him so much, he has the most powerful strength and the highest influence, so it is impossible for them not to have a back-up plan.
Although he was confident that he could stand to the end, it was really difficult for him to discover what these backhands were. If these people suddenly do something like this before the end of the game, it will be difficult for him to come back.
Before the final copy, he didn't want to pay attention to these messy things.
Humanity should not be consumed by internal fighting.
He did not trust the benefits promised by these unfamiliar people. The actions of Edward and others have worn away his trust.
The player is an isolated island. He only trusts players who are in a similar situation to him, but does not trust this guy who hides behind the player and looks down on the player's adventures like a commander. Their mentality and stance are fundamentally inconsistent.
Why should he give his trust to some guys who don't dare to leave the field and will only hide behind them?
The lighthouse theory he mentioned was not a fabrication, but he really looked down on those who dared not go down. Although there are heroes among them, most are just cowards.
So far, he doesn't trust anyone except Yue Yue and Lu Shu.
Including Noel, they only have temporary trust. He completely disagreed with the riddle-like "new world" in Noel's mouth and his remarks about embracing high dimensions.
He dare not believe in the evil of human nature.
"That's it." Su Mingan said, "I hope you continue to stand."
"..." Iris restrained her smile slightly, but she was not too disappointed: "It's a sorry answer, but I'm honored that I actually got your blessing?"
Su Mingan turned around: "Sevia, let her go."
Sevia, who was originally in a standby state, seemed to suddenly come to life. He stretched out his hand, and the white electricity on Iris disappeared in an instant.
She stretched out her hands and moved her body to highlight her exquisite curves.
"I don't want to kill everyone. Compared with the hopeless Mizushima Kawaharu, you can listen to people's words." Su Mingan said: "You are the 'lighthouse' of the past. I think you are a capable person and recover as soon as possible." , seize the opportunity in the next nine months, this is a rare opportunity to make a leap, and you don’t have to be anyone’s vassal.”
He could tell that Iris was also being coerced by someone.
After all, most people are different from him. They have friends, relatives, family, and ties behind them. It's impossible for him to be as careless as he is.
For a being like Iris who "reforms from evil" and learns to talk to people well, he has no intention of enmity. The other party is just a talking machine.
Iris moved her body, and then suddenly came slightly closer.
"Can I understand that you are showing mercy?" she asked.
"'Benevolence and righteousness cannot be achieved without buying and selling', have you heard this saying from the Dragon Kingdom?" Su Mingan responded calmly.
She took another step closer.
Bathed in the golden sunlight, her whole body seemed to be plated with a layer of metallic light.
The mottled light and shadow were like flexible fish surging on her body. Her body had a unique awe-inspiring temperament belonging to the nobility of the old times.
She came closer and whispered: "Although you gave me some suggestions to stabilize your state, in my opinion, your mental state is not very good."
Su Mingan frowned slightly.
He didn't expect that the other party still saw it.
Although he did take a good rest, the after-effects of the Sixth World still remained. Sometimes, he would have nightmares about dying repeatedly in the rain.
The sunny days in Praia soothed his body and mind, but some wounds left behind would never heal.
Just like mental illness.
Even if there is a cure, it will still be there for a long time.
"Sevia, hold her down and don't let her go," Su Mingan said.
He knew that his identity would definitely be exposed, and there must be a teammate of Praia who could tip off the information.
But he still couldn't let the person go.
Iris smiled softly beside him as he left.
"Although it was a mission before." She said: "But I have changed my mind now... You are indeed a good person. If you want to be together tonight..."
After hearing this, Sevia stopped moving and looked at Su Mingan, as if he was questioning him.
After all, from his aesthetic point of view, this little human girl is indeed good, and it is inevitable that Su Lin will...
"Take her away." Su Mingan waved her hand with a headache, and then ignored Iris' gaze.
…
Iris was seized and imprisoned in the dungeon. Unlike Mizushima Kawaharu back then, he didn't kill her. After all, she is a smart person who can understand people.
But no matter how tempting Iris is, Su Mingan will never believe her.
He returned to Praia with the Detection Stone and the Soul Clan's stronghold information.
With the cover of Sevia, no one was discovered along the way.
After bidding farewell to Sevia, he immediately went to the Central Soul Hunting Department to meet Elras.
Elras seemed to be busy, chatting constantly. He didn't show any strange expression when he saw Su Ming'an coming, nor did he ask anyone to take him down. It was as if he didn't know he was with the Soul Clan at all. It was like running away.
"Su Lin, why are you here? Has the secondary cleaning task been completed?" Ellas quickly signed the document in his hand, looking like a social animal.
"Not yet." Su Mingan said.
He tried using Confusion on Elras, but did not get any hint that the current resource points were insufficient.
The system prompts that Ellas is a human being, so he cannot use the "Confusion" skill.
If you need to use "Confusion" on it, you must first use "Transformation" to turn the opponent into a soul.
Su Mingan glanced at the conversion cost, 5,000 resource points...
A rough calculation shows that if you want to completely bring the other party under your control, you will need at least 6,500 resource points.
I don’t know if he can earn so much in the next few levels...it doesn’t seem to be very cost-effective. If he really invested so many resource points in Elras, he doubted that he would be able to pass the final level of the brave battle.
The other party is either a soul clan or troublesome.
"Well...then you'd better hurry up. The feast will start in two days. By then, the east and west districts will be cleared, and the soul clan hidden among the residents of Thirteenth Street will also move its position." Alras didn't even look up. He asked: "Are you looking for me for something?"
Su Mingan paid attention to the other party's tone, and the other party seemed to have no doubts about him.
"I feel like the items at the exchange point in the East District are almost finished. Is there anything good left?" He gave a casual reason.
"The Central Soul Hunting Department also has good things. You can go downstairs and take a look." Ellas said.
In order to avoid arousing suspicion, Su Mingan discussed the soul hunting situation with the other party again, and then went downstairs.
He took a look at the exchange point on the way and saw that the things exchanged at the Central Soul Hunting Department were different from those at the East District. It's also a potion and a weapon.
However, that weapon is a purple-level elemental staff, and it seems that it can only be used as a gift. The potion was the same as the potion in the East District. He planned to wait until the second cleaning task was completed before collecting some camp points to replace the things.
After reading the things at the exchange point, he returned all the way to the East District.
He had already discovered that those players were like cannon fodder, and even Elras didn't care much about them.
Elras let them go out without permission, let them all be wiped out, and then didn't even bother to mention it.
It seems that the Soul Hunting ruler has long discovered the internal discord within Soul Hunting. It is estimated that this was done deliberately, in order to clean up the disobedient people.
The rulers on both sides don't seem to be simple things.
He walked past small farmland and across waterways to his house.
The grandmother next door was weaving, and the squeaking sound of the sewing machine came through the window. When she saw him coming back, she raised her head and smiled at him.
"Back." She said softly, then lowered her head and stopped asking questions enthusiastically.
Su Mingan saw it.
There was a muddy silence in the old lady's eyes.
It was as if any hope had been shattered.
He suddenly remembered.
The letter that said "No need to wait for me" arrived safely in her hands this week.
