Dimensional Store System In Apocalypse-Chapter 344: (EDT) Second Part - Negotiation (2)

"In Mr. Hoya's opinion, what would be attractive to the residents? Perhaps you can give me some clue?" Zhang Qin Feng decided to play this discussion game a little slow to read their mind.

Zhang Qin Feng believes he could quickly bring out more than ten different things to buy their service. Still, nothing would be more satisfying than peeling the words out from them like an onion.

Furthermore, this method would definitely put Zhang Qin Feng's position higher in this mutual relationship.

"I'm not trying to boast here, but I find this hardly a fair exchange because our control over the technology is much more advanced than what you have now," Hoya-2231 replied. Again, Hoya-2231 had this smile of confidence when responding to Zhang Qin Feng.

But he had no idea that the hint of insecurity in his tone had betrayed him. This discovery quickly allowed Zhang Qin Feng to plan a step or two ahead of his opponent with Stein's support.

A sentence that could instantly turn this discussion to his favor came into Zhang Qin Feng's mind.

"Possessing an advanced technology is essential, but from what I see, you people were on your last string as well. If that wasn't the case, would you deliver all the broken equipment and remains out of the shelter instead of reusing them?" Zhang Qin Feng said.

"Indeed. What a good perception of your surroundings. But I still don't see enough reason for us to surrender the right over this facility to you. I'm sorry, but this is going to be a disappointing trip for you," said Hoya-2231.

The tone from his reply seems to be relentlessly stable like Zhang Qin Feng just stepped on the sore part around his wound. But while he managed to control his eagerness here, the others didn't seem to share the same sentiment as Hoya-2231.

The monitoring from Stein also allowed Zhang Qin Feng to noticed their individuality and characteristic. And how Hoya-2231 behaves verifies his suspicion even further.

If he had to use a word to describe the feeling they gave him, it would be "humane." These clones here seem to behave more humanly than the others. And this reason alone should be part of the reason behind the serial number after their names.

"That might not be the case. What if I make a proposal here for now?" Zhang Qin Feng knew that he underestimated Hoya a little. It seems that this opponent of his is quite experienced in negotiation.

And knowing his strength made Zhang Qin Feng getting more interested in him. If he could employ someone like Hoya to serve him, it would be like getting a Jason Deng on steroids and AI assistance in managing his Wind Base.

It's not like Satella, Victor, Marvin wasn't good, but management wasn't their strong point after all. But suppose the responsibility was given to someone like Hoya-2231 here. In that case, Zhang Qin Feng has no doubt that he could have prevented what happened to Wind Base from happening the second time.

"What about we have a deal here. Let's start with what we need and go from there?" Zhang Qin Feng flicked his finger towards his soldier.

Because the discussion room was not soundproofed, their conversation could be heard by those waiting outside.

In response to Zhang Qin Feng's finger flicking, three soldiers immediately brought out a few resources unique to Wind Base, such as the plant-based protein, recovery serum, Atom Battery Cell, etc.

Bringing those resources out and handed to the male and female residents that did the body search on Zhang Qin Feng, the item was brought into the room for Hoya-2231 to take a look.

The resident's attention immediately stopped at the Grade G and H serum vials manufactured with Duranium Shards. Some tried to hide how obvious they looked, but it was apparent that they couldn't shift their gaze away from the serum.

Even if Zhang Qin Feng wished to unseen this sight, he couldn't because of how evident is their attention on towards the serum. But again, this was actually planned by Zhang Qin Feng before coming here.

In fact, Valerian's report was the main reason Zhang Qin Feng decided to create this "goodie bag." It was already planned even before they made their trip over here.

From what was explained in the report, the Blood Petrification disease was the cause of their death for those skeletal remains Zhang Qin Feng collected on his first trip. And there's only one answer for this.

This shelter likely has zero access towards the Duranium Shard formed by the Seed Crystal Virus after infection. And that is what leads to so many deaths throughout the years. f𝚛e𝗲𝔀e𝚋𝑛o𝘃𝒆𝗹.c𝗼𝒎

Using this knowledge as a weapon in this discussion, Zhang Qin Feng was sure that he'll be victorious, no matter what kind of request he brought up to their attention.

Hoya-2231 was speechless by Zhang Qin Feng's move. A trump card like this would definitely bring all the shelter residents to stand by his side. Furthermore, this could even implicate him if he fails to handle this matter professionally.

'Ai…' Hoya-2231 sighed. Evidently, he had more in his mind, but Zhang Qin Feng's move was too ruthless, and it even caught him by surprise. The confident smile on him soon turned sour as he looked defeated by Zhang Qin Feng.

"I wonder, what request do Mr. Zhang have in exchange?" Hoya-2231 had no choice but to take a bite on this bait.

"It depends. But as this was our first cooperation, can I know what facility can you can offer us?" Zhang Qin Feng smiled. But instead of pulling the fishing rod back immediately, Zhang Qin Feng decided to take his time to reel the strings.

"What kind of facilities you're looking for?" Hoya-2231 asked.

"Since this is a facility suitable to run a test, have you considered creating a variant of the outbreak's virus for our own benefit?" Zhang Qin Feng stood and came to Hoya's side before he whispered beside him.

His whisper is like a temptation of a devil that would bring people to ruin. But what Hoya couldn't deny is that temptation was too sweet to reject. 𝘧𝚛𝗲𝘦𝚠𝙚𝙗𝙣o𝙫𝗲𝚕.𝐜o𝓂

"Variant of the Virus that benefit us? Can that even be possible?" Hoya curiously asked.
