Regarding this proposal, Ma En's main reaction was worry and wariness. Although he did want to get the anti-psychic metal, what was happening now was not a good thing for him.
Because it was only a matter of time before he obtained the anti-psychic metal according to his own plan, and there was no need to have any contact with dangerous level V ability users like Taoist Xiaoyao. After all, his motives were too difficult to speculate.
Ma En doesn't believe in luck. He doesn't think that he will suddenly have any special cultivation physique. Even if Xiaoyao really sees that there is something different about him that is different from ordinary people, it must be something he already has.
And there are indeed things in him that can attract level V ability users, but no matter which one Taoist Taoist Xiaoyao takes a fancy to, it will not be a good thing for him, especially the "Blood of God's Sky" and his control. Bureaus themselves, their existence is a nuisance.
But this is not the worst part. The real problem is what Shadow just said to "stop what you are doing", and what he is doing is obviously the negotiation with Shenxiao. Ma En even suspects that Shadow said that on purpose. of.
Regardless of whether this is intentional or not, I cannot directly propose accepting this proposal and continuing the job at the same time, because even if it does not completely reveal my desire to stay in this task, it will leave doubts in their hearts. seed.
If the Federation is willing to directly hand over the anti-psychic metal to him, then he can consider agreeing and running away. Unfortunately, neither Xiaoyao nor the Federation can be so stupid, and they have no trust in him at all.
If Xiaoyao was really planning something on him, he would definitely not give himself a chance to get away with it.
"This condition is quite good." Faced with everyone's enthusiastic proposal, Ma En did not directly agree or reject, "But this news is a bit too sudden for me. I may need some time to think about it carefully."
Since he can't directly propose to perform two tasks at the same time, and looking at the current situation, if he directly refuses, it will be difficult to get the anti-psychic metal, then delaying the time until the end of this task is the best choice.
Ma En also showed a bit of resistance when he said this, and at the same time there was a bit of hesitation mixed with the generous reward, which made everyone looking at him realize that he was actually still wary of this proposal.
Seeing this, the shadow responsible for communication did not put pressure on Ma En, but nodded and said:
"I can also understand your thoughts. This is not something that requires an immediate answer. As long as you make up your mind, you can become a disciple of Taoist Master Xiaoyao through us at any time. As long as you are a little happy and determined, there will be no problem. You can obtain the anti-psychic metal.
"We won't hide it. This is actually a deal between Xiaoyao and the Federation. He knows that you want our anti-psychic metal, and he also knows that the Federation wants his life-extension technology, so he made this win-win-win with us. transaction.
"And I can see that he really wants to ask you to be his disciple. You will definitely doubt whether he has ulterior motives, but to be honest, you should be able to realize that there is nothing in you that is worthy of being coveted by a V-level ability user.
"You can think about it carefully and don't refuse in a hurry. If you have other conditions you want, you can negotiate with the Federation through me or Tang Xueluan. I believe many politicians are willing to make concessions to you in this regard."
At this time, the shadow also sent a complete message to the edge of Ma En's mind:
'I just said that the Federation will not allow politicians to arbitrarily transfer benefits in exchange for their own longevity, but they have proposed a demanding "Fountain of Youth Plan" through quite subtle and magical means. The main reason why politicians proposed this plan is The purpose is naturally to extend their own life, but they have made the plan itself in line with the interests of the federation through various complicated conditions.
'But there are very few abnormal life-extending items that fit into the Fountain of Youth plan. The need for repeatability itself has blocked most of the abnormal items. I think you should also know that there were politicians who wanted to gain eternity by transforming into vampires, but they encountered Shenxiao's obstruct.
'In a sense, it can be regarded as an obstruction to the Federation itself, because Shenxiao was also a very important part of the Federation at that time, but the Longevity Pill is one of the very few abnormal items that meets the requirements of the "Fountain of Youth Project". They come from There is another civilization that we have not yet discovered and even have some doubts about its existence.
'But if Xiaoyao didn't lie in this regard, then although the cost of this kind of thing itself is quite high, it is unusually highly reproducible, and the technology to make these things can even be mastered through learning.
'So if you are willing to slowly pull with them, you can definitely get better conditions than this. Or if you really just want anti-psychic metal, you can also get a bigger metal than the original one. You must know the inside of Level V There are also huge gaps in the anomalous entities themselves.
'This matter has nothing to do with me, so my suggestion is purely a small reward for your help. '
Ma En quickly received this information, and a few seconds after Shadow's words fell, the old man who had always behaved relatively calmly no longer remained silent and said to Ma En:
"Although we have reached a three-party deal with Xiaoyao, you can get more than just these things on the surface. What Xiaoyao has mastered are advanced technologies from other civilizations. If you can learn the essence, it will be of great benefit to you. High benefits.
"You also heard what Xiaoyao just said. With your talent, as long as you can get good teaching, it is quite possible to be promoted to level V through this technology. I don't think a smart person like you will miss this. opportunities—even if there are real risks involved.
"After all, it is extremely dangerous for most people to advance to Level V."
When he finished saying this, the shadow immediately transmitted a message from Zhao Guanwu to Ma En's mind.
The old man's voice quickly passed through Ma En's mind:
'And let's assume that Xiaoyao really wants to deal with you - although the possibility is low, it's not entirely a bad thing for you.
'Because even if he really has bad intentions, you will have learned the life-extending techniques that the Federation desires before you are promoted to Level V. So even if you are really in danger by then, it is not impossible to fight back. The existence of the Federation is yours. fuse.
'If you can also master the technology of extending lifespan, we can also provide you with shelter, and even work together to kill him, and give his relics to you who have mastered the technology of another civilization to interpret.
'You are clearly a better partner for us. '
The old man's statement is not completely unreasonable, but it is slightly idealistic. Xiaoyao may not give himself the opportunity to do this. After all, he actually knows very well what is important to the Federation.
But what Zhao Guanwu said in front of Xiaoyao was very reasonable. Since becoming a disciple of Xiaoyao has the possibility of being promoted to Level V, then the risks that may not be real may not seem so bad, and in fact, if If he is "confident", then using the federation to deal with Xiaoyao is actually a reasonable last resort.
It's a pity that the premise for this statement to be meaningful is that Ma En himself cannot be promoted, but unfortunately he is one of the rare exceptions.
In reality, Ma En showed a struggling expression after Zhao Guanwu finished speaking, but slowly calmed down after a few seconds, and then said with the same firmness as before:
"What you said makes some sense, but I still need to think it over carefully. Faced with such a proposal, I cannot and am unwilling to give a hasty answer anyway. Give me some time and space to think about it.
"Don't worry, I will give you an answer sooner or later."
At this point, Shadow and Zhao Guanwu had nothing to say. As for Shen Zongdao, Tang Xueluan and Kania were not suitable to speak under the current situation - even though they were worried about things in their hearts at the moment.
The protagonist of this incident, Xiaoyao, also walked towards Ma En, then looked at him and said sincerely:
"I know you will definitely suspect that I want to avenge Du Jin. I also understand that you don't understand our concepts and culture. You can't understand why I am angry about Du Jin's behavior of killing a killer. But this is You and I don't matter either.
"The reason why I want to accept you as a disciple is very simple. You are the most talented young man I have seen since I entered this world. You also have a physique that is extremely suitable for practicing and passing on my skills, not to mention your... Excellent character.
"You once followed the innate god and demon that the Federation was afraid of without hesitation, and I also heard her philosophy. To be honest, in a place like yours where etiquette is broken, she has many famous and decent disciples and masters who can't compare to you. Your noble character, so just following her to go to war with the Federation is enough for me to trust your character.
"Others may think your behavior in front of Shenxiao just now is a bit embarrassing, but I can feel that you behave like this just because you are kind-hearted and a little confused due to experience, but this is the character I value.
"If you are speechless in front of her today, then you will not be able to do the evil deeds of deceiving your master and destroying your ancestors in the future.
"So you are a young talent with outstanding talents and good character, while my incompetent disciple Du Jin is a despicable villain with mediocre talents who can kill people during sparring. Do you think I will take revenge on Du Jin?" You?
"I heard from people in the Federation that you want that kind of anti-psychic metal. As long as you are willing to join my sect, that will be your apprenticeship ceremony. And you will definitely not be short of geniuses and treasures in the future. As a teacher, I can personally help you." How about casting a life-protecting magic weapon?"
Facing the enthusiastic Xiaoyao, Ma En's choice was to take two steps back slightly:
"Thank you for your interest, but I really can't agree with you right away. I have already decided to live an ordinary life. This is why I came to seek federal asylum. I really can't make up my mind..."
Seeing this, Xiaoyao did not chase him to become his disciple:
"What I practice is the path of freedom. If you worship, you don't need to worry about anything. Just concentrate on practice. But I won't force a fate that cannot be achieved. Since you haven't made up your mind yet, think about it again. .
"But if you are a little doubtful, you can just show me where I live. Maybe seeing it with your own eyes can dispel your doubts."
Ma En nodded:
"If I have time, I will definitely visit."
Since Xiaoyao has no intention of letting him go, he can't really escape blindly. Moreover, if he can obtain the sea-overturning scepter according to the original plan, he may not be unable to deal with the potential conspiracy.
Seeing this, the other people didn't say anything. Shadow and Zhao Guanwu didn't show their true thoughts. Kania looked at him with a little more curiosity, as if she wanted to know what Ma En was thinking. .
Shen Zongdao also smiled and nodded at him. He was actually a little gloating about Ma En's rejection. Although he was a member of the Federation and could not stop this matter, he definitely did not want to see Ma En get anything. Anti-psychic metal.
If he really joins the Xiaoyao family, the power of the Shu family of the Rongbang sect will increase again.
As for Xiaoyao's life-extending technology, Shen Zongdao doesn't think it is that important. After all, Ma En's not joining his sect does not mean that the federation will not be able to obtain life-extending technology from Xiaoyao again in the future. Of course, this is also because he is still young.
In fact, he did not expect that Ma En would really disagree with this request. If Ma En accepted, then Shen Zongdao felt that he might not be qualified to trouble him anymore, but if Ma En really refused, then I am afraid that he would not even It is impossible to get back the anti-psychic metal.
Mahn would be either stupid or cowardly to make such a decision.
Anyway, Shen Zongdao felt that if he were in Ma En's position, he would definitely not miss this opportunity to advance to Level V.
"Let's go too," Tang Xueluan said after they all left, and glanced at him with a vague look.
'You seem to have something to say. 'Marn established a telepathic channel.
Tang Xueluan replied in his heart:
'Sorry, I couldn't say it just now, but in fact they have already discussed it and asked me to inform you that the Federation will not let you obtain the anti-psychic metal under the original conditions, even if our Shu family uses our own connections and resources. .
'This point was first brought up by Shen Zongdao, but I think they all know it deep down - you obviously want anti-psychic metal so much that you want to betray Shenxiao and come here, so they plan to take advantage of your Weaknesses come to "force" you to accept Xiaoyao's invitation.
'If you really want to reject me, I can reject them forcefully for you, but this will definitely anger many capable people in the Federation, and I guess Shen Zongdao was already expecting your rejection when he said this. .
'Because if you still want to get the anti-psychic metal, you must at least let the federation get the same benefits as now. In other words, we will have to pay a huge price, but your vigilance is not unreasonable.
'So the final choice is yours. '
Faced with her sincere words, Ma En just replied:
'I think we need to talk about this some more. '
