Chapter 122: How Do You Know My Natal Item!
Seeing the old rogue’s demeanor, Bai Yu couldn’t really fault Wang Wen.
It was more important to discuss business first!
He considered it carefully; Yuan Guofeng had been busy with the Black Demon Ancestor’s affairs for ten years.
One thing was clear about such a person: he wasn’t a traitor possessed by a Blood Demon.
Judging by the ambush, the Human Race would be at a significant disadvantage after ten years. Those who could still serve the country must have sound principles.
With that thought, Bai Yu decided to be direct and said, “Old Wang, you must have sensed that I have some secrets, right?”
Hearing this, Wang Wen immediately became serious and replied, “Yes, that’s true! But what do you want to say, kid? Are you leaving a will or…?”
“Heh heh~ What if I told you that I already know the secret behind the Black Blood Case, and even more than those Sakura Island people! I can even handle the follow-up to the Black Blood Case. How important do you think such intelligence is?”
Wang Wen’s eyes changed instantly. He clutched his beard so hard it felt like it was about to fall out.
His mind raced with thoughts. He was very curious about what kind of abilities this Bai Yu possessed.
Initially, he thought it was research-related, perhaps a miraculous talent for understanding medicinal properties and celestial inscriptions, or he had obtained some special Ancient God inheritance, like Shennong! He just hadn’t revealed it.
But he had also vaguely heard that Bai Yu was doing very well in the Seventh Investigation Team. He didn’t know how, but he certainly had capabilities.
Bai Yu clearly had secrets.
Perhaps he had even learned Fuxi’s Bagua.
However, he didn’t dwell on what kind of abilities Bai Yu possessed.
Because understanding it would be meaningless, and prying into someone else’s secrets would only lead to losing a friend he considered a confidant.
After considering it, he decided not to delve into why Bai Yu knew how to handle the Black Blood Case and its underlying secrets.
He simply confirmed, “Is that true?”
“Yes. But I don’t know much about the current enemies. I only know a few key targets; the rest will have to be handled by specialists.”
Wang Wen found this to be even more normal.
After some thought, he said seriously, “Yuan Guofeng’s team is specifically tasked with dealing with the Evil God, the Black Demon Ancestor.”
“I can’t guarantee the others in his team, but I’ve known Old Yuan for 20 years and have kept in touch all these years.”
“I can vouch for his character!”
“If you know how to handle the Black Blood Disease, I can call Old Yuan over.”
“Then, you tell him how to handle the Black Blood Case, and leave the rest to him.”
Then he changed the subject, “Of course! We can’t help for free, can we? Old Yuan is much richer than I am! You can make any demands you want; five hundred million is not too much, and two billion is not too little.”
Hearing this, Bai Yu smiled.
Then he thought of something and asked, “By the way, when will you give me that 150 million?”
“Within a week. Once the research funds from above are released, I’ll give it to you. My funds this time are quite substantial!”
“Alright, once you give me the money, I’ll discuss the industrialization of Open Acupoint Pills with you.”
Wang Wen’s eyes widened. “What are you talking about?”
“The industrialization of Open Acupoint Pills.”
“Are you sure about industrialization? You know, current alchemy hasn’t really gotten on track yet. First-tier pills like Qi and Blood Pills are at most semi-industrialized. You’re saying you’ve mastered industrialization technology?”
“I’m sure! I’m just asking if you want it or not?”
“Hahaha~! Yes! Yes, yes, yes! Come, let’s find a place to talk. We’re not in a hurry about Old Yuan’s matter.”
“Hey! This is about thousands of lives. Be careful, I’ll report you for speaking carelessly.”
“Uh, okay. You tell me the situation first, and then I’ll contact Old Yuan.”
“Alright!”
Bai Yu briefly explained the key information.
Wang Wen frowned as he listened, but his brow instantly relaxed upon hearing about celestial phenomena migration and the method for calculating landing positions.
“Hahaha, good! What you’re saying makes a lot of sense.”
But then he suddenly realized something, and his smile froze slightly.
Didn’t this brat Bai Yu say he only knew one or two key targets?
He thought it was just about catching a criminal, but you’ve already discussed so much!
‘Never mind, that’s not my concern.’
‘Later, I’ll have Old Yuan help this kid hide it well. We can’t let it get out.’
With that, he took out his phone.
Since Yuan Guofeng was still in the hospital, he arrived very quickly.
As soon as Yuan Guofeng walked into the office, he said, “Speak, what’s the matter?”
As he spoke, he walked to the sofa, leisurely making himself a pot of tea, clearly indicating a comfortable acquaintance.
Seeing this, Wang Wen instantly smiled, thinking: There will come a day when you’ll admit you were wrong, you brat!
He first signaled Bai Yu not to act rashly; revealing all your cards at once wasn’t good.
Let me make my entrance first and test him!
“Cough~”
Wang Wen coughed lightly and then said, “Old Yuan, how do you plan to discuss the Black Blood Disease with those people from the Eleventh Administrative Region?”
Hearing this, Yuan Guofeng became angry and snorted, “Hmph! How dare they make such an outrageous demand. They’re living in a dream! When the Alien Gods officially invade, what island nation will survive? Who can they rely on? Besides us, who else!?”
“And who knows what they’ve figured out.”
“They even claim that the Black Demon creatures born here are the descendants of their Black Demon King.”
“Bah! A tiny island nation! Their Ancient God System is a thousand miles behind ours. In my opinion, it’s nothing like that!”
“Either they investigated for three years and didn’t understand clearly, or they are lying now!”
Hearing this, Bai Yu’s heart stirred.
It seemed Yuan Guofeng also had some information; he wasn’t being completely led by the nose by the Miyamoto Family.
At the first meeting, neither side could possibly reveal all their cards.
Professor Wang Wen then asked, “Do you have any news on your end? Based on the current situation, how do you plan to negotiate with them?”
Considering that Professor Wang Wen had provided the Clear Blood Powder, it had greatly eased the pressure of the case.
Yuan Guofeng thought for a moment and glanced at Bai Yu, his look suggesting he wanted Bai Yu to leave so he could speak freely.
Hmph~!
Bai Yu, with his fiery temper.
Wang Wen also knew Bai Yu, who absolutely refused to suffer any losses, and immediately said, “Haha, Old Yuan, just speak directly. Speaking of which, this kid gave me the Clear Blood Powder. He’s a key figure in this case.”
Hearing this, Yuan Guofeng was stunned and asked, “He developed the Clear Blood Powder?”
“Yes, there’s no need to lie to you. And he might be able to help you completely resolve the matter of the Black Demon Ancestor.”
Yuan Guofeng frowned.
From his professional perspective, this was clearly an exaggeration!
However, he didn’t intend to refute it for now. He just considered that Wang Wen saying this young man had handed over the Clear Blood Powder was likely true.
If that was the case, there was no problem with him knowing how he planned to negotiate with Sakura Island.
After all, his greatest bargaining chip was the Clear Blood Powder!
Although the Sakura Island people hadn’t mentioned the Clear Blood Powder in their demands, he knew clearly that the Black Demon King on their side was still spreading the Black Blood Disease and had even developed a legion.
The Sakura Island people appeared confident, but in reality, they were outwardly strong but inwardly weak!
With that thought, Yuan Guofeng said, “The Sakura Island people indeed have something we want.”
“During the descent of their Black Demon King, several key Black Samurai appeared, all extremely powerful. These Black Samurai were also crucial in assisting the Black Demon King’s descent.”
“And the Black Blood Case we are responsible for likely has similar key figures that need to be investigated thoroughly.”
“If we can successfully eliminate them, we might be able to prevent a greater disaster.”
“However… we are not familiar with the key attributes of our second-generation Black Demon King. The Sakura Island people, having researched for so long, might have some important information. This is one of their key bargaining chips, the first one.”
“Secondly, they are still withholding their treatment methods. If we can have another treatment method, it would undoubtedly be a good thing.”
“Thirdly, they have some special means to deal with the Black Demon King, which should also be applicable to the second-generation Black Demon King.”
“Although their overall strength is not as great as ours, if they have people in this field, it would be beneficial for us. For example, the Abe no Seimei successor they mentioned for dealing with the Black Demon King.”
“Fourthly, they seem to be researching methods to detect the descent locations of the third and even fourth-generation Black Demon Kings. They haven’t succeeded yet, but we definitely need it to prevent similar disasters in the future.”
After listening to these words, Wang Wen looked at Bai Yu and thought, ‘Except for the third point, Bai Yu knows all the other information.’
‘This kid is truly amazing!’
“You, kid, come on, educate Old Yuan properly.”
“Uh, shouldn’t we ask for more money?”
“Oh, right, right! I’ll handle the negotiation for that.”
Seeing the two of them acting like this, Yuan Guofeng said, “No, what are you two up to? You didn’t call me over to waste my time, did you?”
Wang Wen slapped the table and said, “Hey! Just based on your attitude, let’s add at least 50 million.”
“What 50 million?”
“Didn’t I tell you? This kid might be able to help you solve the Black Blood Case, or even the subsequent Black Blood Cases.”
Yuan Guofeng looked at Bai Yu with a strange expression, confused, “Him?”
Bai Yu: ???
What do you mean by that?
You look down on me, don’t you?
Fine, fine, fine! You are courting death!
“Old Wang, I think based on his attitude, we should add another 50 million.”
“Yes, indeed.”
Yuan Guofeng frowned and thought for a moment, “If you have a method to solve the Black Blood Case, then reveal a little. I’m not completely clueless either. Tell me, and I’ll judge if you’re right.”
Bai Yu considered it and tentatively asked, “Natal items born during descent?”
Yuan Guofeng immediately stood up excitedly, “How do you know about Natal Items?”
Seeing this, Bai Yu smiled.
He hadn’t expected Yuan Guofeng to know so much at this point!
