Matrix Survival: I Get A Random Chest Every Day-Chapter 686 - 498: Ten Thousand Words Update (Makeup for Yesterday)_4
Liu Jiale turned around and laughed.
"Isn't this Little Phoenix? What brings you here?"
The visitor was indeed Phoenix Mountain, one of the deputy commanders of the Starting Point Legion.
Phoenix Mountain, wearing boxing gloves, clashed his fists in front of him a few times and said nonchalantly, "I am here on the orders of our commander to collect the remaining half of the reward."
"Is that all?"
Liu Jiale chuckled helplessly, "I was just about to finish decomposing the Boss and head over to the Endless Ocean to settle the payment."
"No, no, no." Phoenix Mountain tilted his head, revealing a wild smile, "Our commander said that the transaction was completed the moment the Boss died. To avoid unnecessary disputes, we hope Penglai can settle what's due before decomposing the Boss."
"After all, some things are best kept safe in your pocket, don't you think?"
Phoenix Mountain's gaze swept across the faces of the four legion commanders, and as his eyes met theirs, they all showed awkward expressions.
They had rushed over the moment the Boss was killed because they were worried Penglai might pocket the decomposition materials and then refuse to pay.
These people were unaware of the restriction that prevented the holder of the 'High-Energy Core' from leaving the current scene. They just thought once something was in the pocket, it's hard to get it back out. So when they knew about the Boss being snatched by Kunlun, they only offered a reminder to let someone from Penglai guard the entrance.
On the issue of decomposing the Boss first, they kept their mouths shut. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
"You see, it's not just our commander who thinks this way; even these four beside you have similar concerns." Phoenix Mountain's merciless exposure of the four commanders' thoughts made them even more embarrassed.
How is this guy's emotional intelligence so low?
Some things are best kept quiet, talking about them out in the open just makes people lose face, doesn't it?
A short, chubby commander felt that Phoenix Mountain's actions were truly humiliating and couldn't help but show a look of indignation.
Phoenix Mountain quickly caught this and smirked, "That fatty, yes, you! Acting so arrogant, are you unconvinced?"
The chubby commander: "..."
Who exactly is being arrogant here?
In my long life, I've never seen anyone more arrogant than you!
Seeing the atmosphere getting tense, Liu Jiale came out to mediate, "We're all on the same side, no need to make things unpleasant. Our commander is fishing in the Lava Mountain Range and is on his way here, will arrive soon, please be patient."
Standing in the middle, even if someone deliberately tried to stir trouble, it would be hard to start a fight.
Phoenix Mountain was a bit disappointed, he still wanted to provoke and anger a few people, then seize the Boss amidst the chaos.
Although Li Zheng didn't instruct him to do so, Phoenix Mountain thought that, as the deputy commander of the Starting Point, for such a rare mission, he might as well complete it more "brilliantly."
What could be more brilliant than winning a King Level item for the legion?
Unfortunately, with Liu Jiale present, it seemed like just wishful thinking.
Phoenix Mountain reluctantly said, "Since old Liu spoke, this matter is settled."
The chubby commander: "..."
What do you mean, this matter is settled?
Are you implying that you're being magnanimous?
Who's actually stirring up trouble here?
Don't play the victim!
Damn it!
Of course, he only dared to grumble internally and wouldn't say it out loud.
He's not stupid; he could see that this guy named Phoenix was just looking to cause trouble.
Fortunately, it wasn't long before Xu Ying appeared at the entrance with a few people, and the situation was defused.
Under Liu Jiale's direction, Xu Ying took out a dozen blueprints and distributed them to everyone as per their prior agreement.
They were still not very valuable types of blueprints. It could be said that the most scarce kinds in the Matrix right now, no one would take them out for trade.
Phoenix Mountain put away ten USB sticks with satisfaction and said, "Transaction completed. I'll be leaving first."
After saying this, he left through the Teleportation Gate without any hesitation.
In contrast, the four legion commanders stood there with their faces full of concerns.
"Go decompose the Boss first," Liu Jiale told Xu Ying, then blocked the commanders, "Do you still have any business?"
"Well... it's not really a big deal."
The group exchanged glances, and the chubby commander hesitated before speaking, "It's just that now the Tropical Rainforest has been conquered, it's considered a safe zone, which can allow players participating in the fishing event to come and fish, so..."
"Oh..." Liu Jiale's face lit up with understanding, "You mean you want your legion members to fish here, right?"
Liu Jiale generously expressed, "No problem! The Tropical Rainforest will be open free of charge to members of your legions. Rest assured!"
"No, no, no!" The chubby commander waved his hands vigorously, "Vice-Commander Liu misunderstood."
"Oh? Where did I misunderstand? Do you want to pay points for entry?" Liu Jiale feigned confusion, as if not understanding the subtext at all.
The chubby commander looked at the other three, who had no intention of speaking up, so he had to steel himself and continue, "Actually, it's like this: the Tropical Rainforest was conquered with our contribution too. If Penglai is selling tickets... we'd like to participate in the ticket revenue sharing!"
After he finished, the other three nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Yes, yes, we contributed too, didn't we?"
