The First Order Chapter 731 - Instigating Wang Yun’s defection

Chapter 731 Instigating Wang Yun’s defection

If it were someone else’s skill, Ren Xiaosu would definitely not waste two additional Perfect Skill Duplication Scrolls just so he could learn a specific skill. After all, three scrolls would allow him to learn three separate skills. Although he might end up learning some useless skills, they could still prove useful in the future.
Of course, Ren Xiaosu was not referring to the jumping rope skill.
Ren Xiaosu asked the palace in his mind, “When are you going to assign the rest of the quests?”
The voice from the palace answered, “Unauthorized to answer.”
Ren Xiaosu pondered this for a moment. The answer from the palace this time seemed to be implying, “Well, that would have to depend on my mood.”
Alright, since he could not do anything about the palace’s temperament, he could only patiently wait for it to assign the quests to him.
While Ren Xiaosu was pondering, a wounded person looked at Ren Xiaosu. “Is that medicine of yours… for sale?”
“I guess there’s still smart people around here.” Ren Xiaosu chuckled and said, “There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch in this world. Tell me, how much are you willing to offer for this medicine?”
Just as Luo Lan had said, this group of people only came to the Sacred Mountains for the sake of their own interests. It wasn’t like they were here for the sake of the common folk of the world, so their fate was none of Ren Xiaosu’s concern.
As such, he could give them the medicine, but not without a price.
“Is 20,000 yuan enough?” the wounded man asked.
“No.” Ren Xiaosu shook his head. “This medicine was created with ingredients harvested from extremely dangerous locations. 20,000 yuan won’t even cover the costs to make it. I’ll charge a million yuan per person and not a cent less. Y’all should have opened anonymous bank accounts in case of emergencies, right? So don’t give me excuses that you don’t have any money on you. Think carefully about whether your life or your money is more important.”
When the wounded person heard that, his expression turned bitter. “Can you make it cheaper on account that we used to be in the same trade?”
In the end, it was Ren Xiaosu who got stunned. “Same trade? You were a doctor too?”
The wounded person explained, “Oh, that’s not it. I used to rob people….”
Ren Xiaosu was left speechless. His expression darkened. “Do you still want to get treated?”
Before the wounded person could reply, Wang Yun, who was standing nearby, suddenly said, “How about this? Tell me first how many vials of medicine you have left?”
“Three.” Ren Xiaosu looked at Wang Yun and said, “It’s more than enough to treat these people. Why?”
“Then I’ll offer six million yuan and buy them all for everyone. What do you say?” Wang Yun said, “That’s my final offer. This way, it’ll also save you some trouble.”
“Sure.” Ren Xiaosu threw the three porcelain vials right into Wang Yun’s hands.
At this moment, the wounded person eagerly looked at Wang Yun. It was far too difficult to encounter a good person in places like these these days.
But after Wang Yun handed an anonymous bank card to Ren Xiaosu, he waved the vials teasingly in front of the wounded people and said with a smile, “Look, I have the medicine now, but I don’t mind selling it to you all for cheaper. He demanded one million yuan for it, but I’ll only ask for 500,000. However, all of you here are no ordinary people. How can your lives be so cheap? Therefore, I’ll allow you to use a piece of information worth 500,000 yuan in exchange for it.”
Wang Yun was in the field of intelligence work himself. Usually, he would have to pay a huge price just to get his hands on some valuable intel. But now, it would be much easier to take advantage of these people’s desire to live in exchange for some useful information.
It was not that Wang Yun was so dedicated to his job that he was still thinking about his responsibilities as an intelligence officer. But after he realized there were so many powerful people who had come to the Sacred Mountains, he felt he might not be able to get ahold of the No. 001 Experimental. After learning about Ren Xiaosu’s identity, he was no longer confident of getting ahead of the Stronghold Destroyer and White Mask to get his hands on the target.
Moreover, Cheng Yu also mentioned the Demon Whisperer had joined one of the other groups for this expedition. His presence would only make it more difficult for Wang Yun to achieve his objective.
Wang Yun thought the Demon Whisperer and the Stronghold Destroyer actually sounded quite compatible and wondered if they knew each other. It would, of course, be wonderful if they could start fighting each other instead. If they didn’t, Wang Yun would definitely not be a match for either of them.
So, in order not to go back empty-handed, he would have to make some backup plans for himself.
Even if he did not manage to seize the No. 001 Experimental, with such important intel, he could still gain a promotion when he returned to the Kong Consortium. Kong Donghai would understand at that time who was the most competent.
“Everyone should already know that I have an excellent memory and analytical ability.” Wang Yun said with a smile, “So don’t try to fool me with some unimportant or false information.”
Ren Xiaosu observed from the sidelines and thought Wang Yun was pretty quick-witted.
Next to him, the Great Hoodwinker whispered, “Future Commander, do you still have any of that medicine left? You can compete with him and gain some intel from the others instead.”
However, Wang Yun turned to look at Ren Xiaosu. “I know you still have some of the medicine on you, but I’ll share the intel that I gain here with you, so please don’t make things difficult. You might be stronger than me, but I’m better at analyzing the authenticity of the information they provide. Why don’t we work together?”
Ren Xiaosu nodded and stored the black medicine he had just traded for.
The Great Hoodwinker said with a sigh, “Wang Yun is a smart person. Why did he choose to work for the Kong Consortium of all places? A talented person like him should head to the Prosperous Northwest. The bureaucratic order in the Kong Consortium is too strong, and smart people will probably not live for long over there. However, things are different in the Northwest. Wang Fengyuan likes to recruit people such as him. Judging by how he saved his own teammates first, it at least shows he has good character. Someone like him is best suited to head to the Northwest where he can be edified by our fellow comrades.”
“Then why don’t you go and read his fortune for him?” Ren Xiaosu said with a smile.
“There’s no need to read his fortune.” The Great Hoodwinker muttered, “Future Commander, when you do the information exchange with him later, you should position yourself cleverly so that I can get a picture of Luo Lan and Wang Yun in the same frame with my spy camera. Make him look like he’s whispering to Luo Lan. Kong Haidong is a suspicious person. If the Kong Consortium gets ahold of this photo, Wang Yun won’t be able to command any important position in the consortium for the rest of his life. How can a person like him be willing to work under someone for long? When that time comes, our old fellow, Wang Fengyuan, will get a chance to instigate Wang Yun’s defection.”
Ren Xiaosu looked at the Great Hoodwinker in surprise. Wasn’t this as good as forcing Wang Yun into a corner? “Do you often do such things?”
Embarrassed, the Great Hoodwinker said, “I can’t always be going on and on about the ‘Prosperous Northwest,’ right?” But at this moment, a seriously wounded person could no longer cling to life. Before he could wait for the black medicine to treat his wounds, he died.
Wang Yun did not feel any pity either. The team members who had been traveling together were his competitors after all, so it did not matter if they died.
However, something unexpected happened. Right as this wounded person died, gray, mossy tentacles extended out from the weeds on the ground and stabbed right into the corpse. It melted like a wax statue and quickly disintegrated.
Everyone stood up in shock and looked at the ground in fear, afraid something would pierce them under their feet as well.
But after waiting for a long time, there was still no movement.
Soon after, the corpse completely disappeared. Even the clothes had completely disintegrated to dust.
This sight was so strange Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin looked at each other in dismay. The two of them remembered almost at once the mystery of the missing corpse and the fish meat and bones back in the Jing Mountains.
