I Don't Agree to the Terms-Chapter 1027 - 540: Reversal, Prelude to the Cleanup

"You're here just in time, you're not planning to mess with a Grand Celestial on purpose, are you?" Shura teased Gu Shanhai.

The two of them were standing atop a high-rise building at the moment.

Half an hour earlier, Shura and the Grand Celestial had used some small tricks to repair and reinstall a node underneath the Throne of the Corpse King.

However, before they could reach the area where the gray fog was born, they encountered Gu Shanhai halfway.

Gu Shanhai, having recovered, said he was ready to give the Grand Celestial a temporary boost to let him go for the installation.

After hearing this, the Grand Celestial didn't object. He understood Gu Shanhai's meaning, which was that the one who gains the most benefits should do the work.

After looking at the attributes and situation of the temporary boost, the Grand Celestial could only obediently proceed.

"How could I be that kind of person? If he wants more, he'll definitely have to do more. After all, Tai Sui Gu needs Zombie Crystals." Gu Shanhai didn't mind Shura's teasing. In fact, he saw that as the division of interests dwindled, their temporary team had started to drift apart.

With no more profits, it's time to pack up and go back to your Gao Village, while he goes back to his Huaguo Mountain.

The next time there's profit in an instance, they'll be laughing again and back to being old acquaintances.

They were brought together by interests after all, so how can there be any feelings involved?

"I thought he refused your octopus, so you came and played this move on purpose." Shura also understood Gu Shanhai's meaning, but he pretended to play dumb, as it wasn't a big deal anyway.

"How could that be? I'd already grilled it, yes, just now, I ate it alone." Gu Shanhai followed suit, bantering with him.

Anyway, if you pretend to be dumb, Gu Shanhai will just go along with the nonsense.

Shura actually intended to proceed with the task, being the rightful owner of the invitation, naturally he didn't want the task to fail.

Compared to the Grand Celestial who was just getting by due to the high difficulty, Gu Shanhai's attitude was the most unpredictable for him.

Especially since Gu Shanhai was the main force in this battle, he had to further gauge his attitude, if nothing else, at least make Gu Shanhai inclined to complete the task.

"Tsk tsk, eating alone, didn't even save a tentacle for me." Shura replied with this, before finally putting away his smile and asking, "How confident are you?"

His question was naturally about dealing with the ghostly safe zone.

"Ninety percent, no more." Gu Shanhai's attention was actually not here, but in the ghostly safe zone, analyzing the data through Spiritual Sense.

The entire ghostly safe zone actually already belonged as a part of the All Ghosts Survival Platform; it's just that this part was more like human hair and nails, something detached.

Even if it were destroyed, it wouldn't greatly impact the All Ghosts Survival Platform, but with it in Gu Shanhai's hands, he could gain more understanding of the platform.

"That high?!" Shura was also startled; he thought the odds were at most fifty percent, not expecting Gu Shanhai's chances to be so high.

"It's okay, how about you? After all, the gray fog isn't easily dealt with. Even if you have the treasure you bought from me, to want a one-hit kill, you'd have to destroy the entire city." Gu Shanhai asked.

Destroying the entire city wasn't much of a challenge for Shura, even without Gu Shanhai's treasure.

However, this whole city could very well be a part of the gray fog or even its main body, so destroying it wouldn't be that easy.

Whether the task would be considered complete if the city was gone was actually inconsequential. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

As long as this city, which had become an outpost for the Ghost World, could be cleared out, it wasn't necessary to keep the city's integrity, even if it became a barren land.

"I'm only seventy percent sure, not that high." Shura didn't hide the truth.

The reason being the peculiar form of the gray fog and its immense power; the difference in levels between them was just too great, how could Shura be completely confident?

But no worries, with Gu Shanhai backing them up this time, it should be alright.

"That high a confidence level? Not bad." Gu Shanhai thought that Shura's own estimate was at most thirty percent, not expecting him to reach seventy percent.

It seems his analysis of intelligence and data is quite powerful; to transcend hundreds of levels is not possible otherwise, to give such an accurate success rate.

In Gu Shanhai's view, Shura only had about seventy percent success rate.

The remaining thirty percent failure wasn't Shura's fault, but rather the Grand Celestial's burden.

Since the Grand Celestial was going to handle the Corpse King, with Tai Sui Gu's assistance, winning is unlikely, it would be good enough to hold the opponent, waiting for Gu Shanhai or Shura to finish and then take action.

The only factor causing this big gap was the Grand Celestial's insufficient spending.

Someone like Shura, who had invested vast resources to get something from Gu Shanhai, was naturally more valued by Gu Shanhai, considering he was willing to spend big.

The Grand Celestial also could, but he hesitated, unwilling to give too much.

Thus, Gu Shanhai couldn't interfere much with the other; if you lack the strength and can't swallow the benefits given to you, what else could be done?

"We'll have to see specifically how the Grand Celestial performs." Shura didn't want to overly commit with his words. This task's difficulty, after Gu Shanhai handles the strongest boss, the ghostly safe zone, was only left with clearing out all the zombies.
