On the top floor of the military building.
Wang Xiao had already changed back to his original appearance. As soon as he walked out of the elevator, he saw Chen Jinrong walk out of the office neatly dressed, as if he was going to a formal occasion.
“Commander Chen! ”
Wang Xiao greeted him and jogged over. “Where are you going?”
“A meeting.”
Chen Jinrong replied casually. Then, he frowned and revealed a hint of confusion. “Didn’t you already go back? Why are you still here?” “Adjutant Qi brought me to get the reward just now.”
Wang Xiao replied sarcastically. When he mentioned the “reward”, he deliberately emphasized it a little. As expected, he successfully diverted Chen Jinrong’s attention away from the time.
Chen Jinrong smiled faintly and said, “Oh? How is it? Are you satisfied with this reward?”
“I’m not satisfied.”
Wang Xiao shook his head very honestly. Without waiting for Chen Jinrong to reply, he complained, “I originally thought that you would give me those star coins as a reward. Who knew that it was actually two lousy boxes? What’s the use of having so many boxes?”
“Have you really struck it rich? You’re actually calling an orange-quality item a ‘broken box’?”
Chen Jinrong glared at Wang Xiao and frowned unhappily. “Besides, you can only blame yourself for this. Who asked you not to make things clear? Now that the money has been allocated to the finance department, it’s too late for me to give it to you.”
The corners of Wang Xiao’s mouth curled up. “From what you’re saying, if I had made my request clear previously, you would have given me those star coins?”
Chen Jinrong shook his head without thinking. “The bounty we issued on Lan Dahai is only 10 million. How can we give you those 3 billion star coins? If you really lack money… I can ask the finance department to transfer 20 million to you. This is already the limit.”
“20 million? Are you trying to dismiss a beggar?”
Wang Xiao rolled his eyes angrily and went straight to the point. “In any case, there’s something I have to make clear to you. I captured Lan Dahai alone. If not for my principles, the three billion yuan would have long been in my pocket! ”
Without waiting for Chen Jinrong to speak, Wang Xiao waved his hand and said, “Of course, I still have my principles now. I don’t want 3 billion star coins, but isn’t it a little too much to send me away with two lousy boxes?”
Chen Jinrong narrowed his eyes. He could already hear the hidden meaning in Wang Xiao’s words. After thinking for a moment, he asked directly, “Then what else do you want?”
“Weapons!”
Wang Xiao directly threw out his goal. “I want a weapon -type item.”
“Weapon-type items?”
Chen Jinrong was stunned when he heard this. He looked at Wang Xiao with a strange gaze. “You don’t seem to have the habit of using weapons and tools, right? Moreover, the strength of your soldiers has already far exceeded your peers. Do you still need to attack yourself?”
“MV soldiers indeed far exceed mv Deers. but mv enemies might not all be mv
peers.”
Wang Xiao replied with a depressed expression. Then, he waved his fingers and calculated, “During the initial Crimson Star invasion and encounters with Wu Yan, Turk, and the Lang brothers this time, there were a few times when my mutated beasts were not a match.”
“Moreover, some battles might not have happen in the secret realm. Take this morning for example. Lan Dahai was not a specialized combatant. I almost died in his hands. If I had a weapon, I would definitely be safer!”
“And the last time Andu broke out of prison, a group of us were chased by him..
“Alright, alright! Stop!”
Chen Jinrong raised his hand to interrupt Wang Xiao’s chatter. He sighed and said helplessly, “I understand what you’re saying… How about this? I’ll get the finance department to transfer 20 million star coins to you later. Tomorrow, you can buy it yourself at the trading market.”
“No, the goods in the trading market are too ordinary!”
Wang Xiao shook his head and pursed his lips before asking “shyly”, “I want the military…”
“No way!”
Chen Jinrong did not wait for Wang Xiao to finish speaking and directly waved his hand. “The military’s weapons and tools are extremely powerful. They have always been strictly controlled. It’s impossible for them to be given to the common people!”
“What’s the hurry? I didn’t say I wanted your standard weapons!”
Wang Xiao shouted aggrievedly. Before Chen Jinrong could speak, he said, “I heard that the military has confiscated many foreign race items on the battlefield and wanted to ask if there’s anything suitable for me to use?”
“Foreign race item?”
Chen Jinrong frowned slightly, and his eyes slowly lit up. “What kind do you want?”
Seeing that Chen Jinrong had relented, Wang Xiao immediately pretended to be in deep thought. “I realized today that my accuracy is a little average. It would be best if I could have a cold weapon. It probably has to be this long…”
Wang Xiao gestured a length and said as he thought, “It’s best if it’s black. I don’t like to be too high-profile… but it’s not good to be too low-key, so it’s best to have some gem decorations on it.”
“Why do I feel that this item sounds a little familiar?”
Chen Jinrong looked at Wang Xiao suspiciously. “Did you walk around in the storage room?”
Wang Xiao’s heart skipped a beat, but his expression remained unchanged. “What are you talking about? Didn’t you ask me what kind of weapon and item I
wanted?”
Chen Jinrong did not speak. He only narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Xiao. His sharp gaze seemed to be able to see straight into the depths of Wang Xiao’s soul, causing Wang Xiao’s back to tremble!
Wang Xiao did not know how to clear his name and could only keep a straight face. Just as he was about to lose his composure, Chen Jinrong finally retracted his interrogation-like gaze.
“I think I know what you want.”
Chen Jinrong waved his hand and returned to his usual kind appearance. ‘Go to my office first. I’ll get someone to bring the item over.”
With that said, Chen Jinrong turned around and walked towards the office. Only then did Wang Xiao heave a sigh of relief. He gently patted his chest a few times and followed him in.
About ten minutes later, someone knocked on the office door. Qi Lianjun walked in with four soldiers, each carrying two metal boxes.
Seeing Wang Xiao here, Qi Lianjun was clearly stunned for a moment.
However, he did not ask further. He only put down the metal box and reported,
“Commander, I’ve brought the things you wanted.”
Chen Jinrong nodded and raised his hand at Wang Xiao. “Go and choose.”
“Choose?”
Wang Xiao revealed a confused expression. “Aren’t you going to give these to
Chen Jinrong put on a straight face. “If you continue to take advantage of me like this, do you believe that I’ll kick you?”
Seeing that Chen Jinrong seemed to be really a little angry, Wang Xiao hurriedly put away his mischievous thoughts. He thanked him and stood up to go to the metal boxes.
He casually opened the first one. Inside was a short black spear inlaid with gems. It was completely carved from black crystal and was crystal clear under the light. It was very beautiful.
Although Wang Xiao already had a weapon in his heart, in order to make his goal less obvious, he still took it out and carefully observed it for a while. Then, he shook his head and sighed before putting it back.
He pretended to move on reluctantly and quickly arrived at the next box.
Wang Xiao’s heart gradually rose because if the black saber was not in this box, it would really be awkward this time!
With this thought in mind, Wang Xiao slowly opened the clasp and lifted the lid of the box.. Then, his pupils suddenly constricted—the black saber he had dreamed of finally came into view!
