Chapter 561 Plan C! Top pull!
"First"
"I think Lord Zhuling should know the significance of coal to us humans. We will not sit back and watch the dwarves continue to be so arrogant this winter. Frankly speaking, no matter what happens next and Whether the tree people can cooperate, we will conduct a pre-attack drill on the Blackstone Camp occupied by the dwarves to boost the prestige of the territory."
"Of course, we cannot reveal whether it will be a frontal attack or other methods. But our goal is certain, that is to empty out their stored coal”
“In view of this, I hope that the tree people can send 30 to 50 tree people to assist”
After thinking for a while, Zhu Ling nodded directly: "I can agree to your request, but you can't use our tree brothers as human shields and cannon fodder. If the battle damage and casualties are too high, or the plan risk is too high, I will stop it immediately. Cooperation"
"There is no problem with this. I believe that our lords will not see any casualties, whether it is us or our allies!"
Get the most important point first! Consultation is a small tool in negotiations.
Seeing Zhu Ling agree directly without any doubt, Sumo felt happy, and then began to dig holes around the next big plan.
The earth flower, the giant flower, is one of the few exquisite plants that the tree people can trade with foreign countries.
Especially when talking about the Great Emperor Flower, Zhu Ling's deliberate emphasis fully demonstrated that he knew the necessity of this thing for human beings.
Ask for it directly, regardless of whether it can succeed or how much it will cost.
If the tree people do something inside, it will not be easy to wait for the next opportunity to go deep into the enemy camp.
So, after a pause, Sumo directly began to change the focus of his conversation.
"Second, Lord Zhu Ling must have asked Elder Zhu Chuan in detail last time. You should know that we have not only fairy fruits in heaven, but also other plants that are helpful to the tree people."
"We can have these not only because of the power of our Lord Soma, but also because we have some watering and cultivation methods similar to the tree people"
"So, we are willing to reach a strategic agreement with the tree people"
Speaking of this, Sumo paused again and cast his gaze over.
Sure enough, on Zhu Ling's face, one can clearly see a look of extreme interest but forced suppression.
“What strategic agreement?”
"You will give us a share of the seeds and finished products of all plants. If you can cultivate suitable mutants, we will share the future profits equally"
"This is impossible!"
Directly interrupting Su Mo's unfinished words, Zhu Ling suppressed the rising anger.
"There is no need to talk about it. Plants are the foundation for our tree race to settle down and live. No matter how advanced the alliance between us is, we will never be able to hand over the finished products and seeds to you"
< br>"Even if Lord Soma is here today, there is no need to talk about this matter!"
After saying that there was nothing to talk about twice in a row, Zhu Ling's meaning was very clear. It was because there was really no way to talk about this matter, not because the relationship between the two was not enough.
However, sitting opposite, after hearing this, Sumo still said unhurriedly:
“Lord Zhuling, don’t be anxious, everything must be done well. Is the beginning right?"
"In this way, we can start with a few small plants, how about we start with four kinds: Hangcao, Dalinghua, Jiguo, and Wanweisi"
"When we have achieved results with these four plants, then we will talk about the cultivation of other plants?"
Hangcao, a very fast-growing herbaceous plant, was the first plant used by the tree people when they were enclosing land.
It can not only be used as feed for herbivorous animals, but can also be used in dishes. The taste is similar to bitter chrysanthemum. It is not delicious but has a unique flavor.
Daling flower, a variant of the genus Gossypium in the family Malvaceae, is a close relative of cotton.
It is different from conventional cotton, which will produce rotten seeds and buds once the temperature reaches below ten degrees.
Daling flowers can withstand low temperatures of minus 60 degrees, high temperatures of above 40 degrees, and some more extreme growth environments.
Because of its tenacious nature, it can be seen all over the mountains and plains once it reaches maturity, hence the name Dalinghua.
Jiguo, the only plant with a "soul" among the four proposed.
But although it has a soul, its function is very simple.
Jiguo can simulate biological signs and actively eat objects. If the object is poisonous, Jiguo will automatically separate the poisoned parts to give an early warning.
Sumo was very confident that Zhu Ling would agree to these four suggestions.
After all, plants are divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D according to the tree-human classification.
The grades of these four plants are all at the lowest level D, which not only has little effect, but also has the lowest trading value.
As long as Zhu Ling has a little bit of brains and knows how to bring these plants out for cooperation, it will be of great benefit to the tree people without any harm!
Sure enough, after his words fell, Zhu Ling subconsciously wanted to repeat his previous words to refuse, but after reacting, he was suddenly startled and couldn't believe it and said:
< br>“Are you sure you only want these four?”
"Yes, cooperation is a long process of establishing mutual trust. Starting from these four, we will let the tree people see the sincerity and strength of Heavenly Court"
Zhu Ling: "Can you help Lord Sumo decide? ?”
“Yes, I have the authority to decide, as long as Lord Zhu Ling is willing!”
Between the questions and answers, there was an undisguised hesitation on Zhu Ling’s face. , but in the end, looking at Sumo's determined face and expression.
He suddenly picked up the wine bottle on the table and drank it down. Then he stood up and said continuously: "Okay, since you can decide, we are willing to give away the seeds and finished products of these four plants. We will give you free research in heaven. If you can make breakthroughs in these four areas, we will not take any of the profits and give them all to you."
"Even if these breakthroughs can meet our expectations, more cooperative plant research is not impossible!"
A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest.
The best way to break through a person's psychological defense line is to try to enter through the smallest gap, and then slowly expand the gap after entering.
On the one hand, Zhu Ling hopes that plants can achieve breakthrough mutations, so that the strength of the tree people will be greatly improved, and they will not have to remain in the current embarrassing situation.
On the other hand, he was worried about giving others control, leaving the tree people's greatest support in the hands of others.
But at the moment, no matter what Somo gives is a delicious pie or a poison that seals the throat after seeing blood.
As the lord of the ancient tree race, he has to eat everything, and there is no room for resistance!
While continuing to extend the third supplementary cooperation agreement, Sumo also gave some supplementary explanations for the first two cooperation agreements.
Waiting until the sun set in the west and dusk arrived, he stood up and stretched out his hand with satisfaction.
"Then it's settled, Lord Zhuling, please hurry up and prepare. Time waits for no one. I have to return to the territory at night to resume my life."
Zhu Ling also smiled, stretched out his branch and held it with Sumo: "Well, the botanical garden that I just came over has what you want. In this way, I will have someone take you there, and let him help guide you. The plant transplantation and cultivation method also allows you to have close contact with other plants."
"As for the specific cooperation details, according to the agreed time, I will arrange the manpower in place as soon as possible to complete it before winter comes. Cooperation between us!”
After speaking, Zhu Ling knocked on the ground with another branch.
Zhu Xia, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, walked in in time, and after being whispered to by him for a while, he nodded respectfully.
“Dignified guests from heaven, please come this way!”
Throughout the whole process, the atmosphere in the room was surprisingly harmonious except for a moment when the two were tit-for-tat when the second point was raised.
It was as if the two had not met for the first time, but had been allies who had been working together for a long time.
Seeing this scene, Sun Di and the four others were amazed, and they felt that they were worthy of being a director, and they were able to operate with ease in other people's territory.
But after walking outside the door and completely disappearing from Zhu Ling's sight, only Sumo knew that his back had been completely soaked.
“Zhu Ling is indeed an old fox, I’m afraid this is one of the baits he planted”
"I wanted to see if I really had no intention, and I deliberately used this trick to test. Unfortunately, my goal is not here at all!"
Following Zhu Xia's footsteps, Su Mo thought to himself, There was a hint of thought on his face.
Although Zhu Ling is a bit silly and has fallen into many designed traps, it does not mean that his IQ is really just a decoration and can only be seen but not used. As early as the second item proposed that only four D-class plants were needed, he had already begun to give secret guidance and used other methods to signal that the guards in the botanical garden were lax.
Even at the end, he told everyone in an almost explicit way:
There are many opportunities for you to "shoplift" in the botanical garden, so hurry up!
Knowing that humans have storage space, such a hint would most likely be taken by someone else.
But for now.
Following the tree man Zhu Xia and continuing back to the botanical garden along the original path, Soma looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose. During the whole process, he was in trance like the old monk and did not look away.
When the other villagers who were still ready to make a move saw him like this, they quickly followed suit and followed him.
Today's botanical gardens look unguarded, with all kinds of plants happily enjoying the sun inside.
But in fact, vaguely, relying on his sixth sense, Somo could feel that there were several eyes looking at everyone, and there was a feeling that if everyone made some movement, they would immediately swarm him.
"The next step is free time. You have ten minutes to visit the botanical garden."
"I will help pack the plants and I will wait for you at the door!"< br>
After introducing the four plants, Zhu Xia looked at the five honest people with deep meaning, then slowly moved his body and disappeared from sight.
The huge botanical garden also became deserted at this moment.
With the sun setting in the west, looking around, it feels like you have landed on an alien planet.
"Director, what should I do? Do you want to take action?"
After carefully glancing around to make sure there was no one around, Sun Di stepped forward in two steps.
The other three villagers also heard the words and stepped forward quickly, surrounding Somo directly in the middle.
"The plan has changed. According to Plan C, Sun Di is responsible for attracting firepower, and others are responsible for covering."
"It will still be the old plan. If you delay, you have to delay it for twenty minutes."
Feeling the gaze that was still like a gangrene attached to the bones, Somo spoke in a low voice and gave quick instructions.
With the others nodding, and without waiting for Zhu Xia's ten minutes to expire, the group of people walked directly to the door.
The whole process, until everyone arrived at the door, there were only two less monitoring eyes, leaving only one.
"Hey, you're not visiting anymore?"
Sumo waved his hand: "No, no, it's our first time in the Thousand Trees King's City, and we want to leave some time to wander around the city outside. , appreciate the customs and customs of the tree people, don’t waste time here!”
Zhu Xia’s smile did not diminish when he heard this: “Oh? That’s okay, the things haven’t been packed yet, I’ll take you there first! Let’s take a walk around the city!”
Fifteen minutes have passed.
After everyone completely walked out of the inner city, the eyes that had been keeping watch finally disappeared.
But it was at this moment that Sumo glanced at the streets around him where people were still coming and going. He covered his stomach and said, "Oh, my stomach hurts so much. Elder Zhu Xia, I wonder if there is, uh, convenience in the outer city. "A convenient place?"
Zhu Xia was confused: "A convenient place?"
"Well, the so-called three urgent needs of people are that the food at noon today was too rich. I ate too much, and I didn't expect this. I can’t live up to my expectations, oh, it hurts me so much.”
Holding his stomach, Somo simply sat down on the ground. Mixed with his miserable howl, in a very short period of time, it attracted the attention of the surrounding trees. human gaze.
Seeing more and more tree people surrounding them, Zhu Xia finally figured out why and said quickly:
"Quick, quick, just say you want to go to the toilet, and you are so polite."
"Come, hold him up, I will take you there!"
Walking in front, Zhu Xia kept walking, and the other tree people did not dare to follow him after he shouted at him.
After walking for about four or five minutes, as everyone came to a slightly secluded street, Zhu Xia stepped forward and opened the back door of one of the stores.
“This is my shop in the city, yes, go to that place, you have to make do with it first!”
The place Zhu Xia was pointing to was a small house inside the garden used to store tools.
It is somewhat similar to the dry toilets in rural areas on earth. The small house reaches above the waist, with a long gap, so people standing outside can clearly see inside.
As if afraid of Sumo's embarrassment, Zhu Xia immediately waved his hand and spread all the warning vines surrounding the garden, and turned his head to indicate that he would never peek.
"Excuse me, Elder Zhu Xia!"
He rushed forward eagerly, and "accidentally" stepped on the warning vine on the way. After confirming again that this thing had been temporarily disabled, Sumo I was secretly happy and rushed to the toilet!
The next moment, as Somo squatted down, the palm-sized Adventurer Terminal automatically slipped out of his trouser pocket and fell into his hand.
"Start the holographic decoy projection module?"
"Start!"
Quickly click on the app, and after confirming that various camouflage information has been collected, the silver-white terminal starts It automatically transformed and finally fell to the ground, emitting a faint blue light.
In just a few breaths, the same figure suddenly appeared again where Somo was squatting.
"Sorry to trouble you!"
"Leave it to me!"
The holographic decoy with some artificial intelligence can imitate the user as long as the user's information is completely entered. gesture, and execute some simple commands.
As long as you don’t come close and actually touch it with your hands, no one can be sure that this thing is fake from a distance!
Everything was ready, and after carefully sticking his head out to confirm the "escape" route, Sumo's eyes narrowed, his muscles tightened and exploded, and he ran straight out of the house like a cheetah.
Wow!
Wow!
At the peak of the fifth level, due to the unique mechanism of the human body, at this moment, Soma's speed was no worse than that of the sixth level, reaching 100 meters in about five seconds!
Zhu Xiacai had just heard the sound of wind and heavy footsteps, and his figure had already crossed the wall and arrived at another part of the street in the blind spot.
“Hey, what’s the sound?”
Zhu Xia turned his head in confusion and looked in the direction of the voice.
But wherever you can see, apart from the flowers, plants and trees growing everywhere, you can only see Somo still squatting in the "pit" with a constipated look on his face.
“Did I hear wrongly?”
Looking at Sumo’s painful expression, and then thinking that lunch was arranged by himself, Zhu Xia quickly shrank his head and turned his gaze again They placed it on the street and looked at the four Sun Di and others with strange expressions on their faces.
“Oh, don’t run around, not everyone in the Thousand Tree King City has our good character”
"Look, if you encounter this kind of tree man with thorns in the city in the future, you have to walk around. This kind of tree man has the worst temper!"
Use the branches to pull Sun Di away After the four of them were dragged back to their side, Zhu Xia's eyes showed a hint of fear as they looked at the Thorn Tree Man walking away slowly.
Both are fifth-level tree people. Unless they risk their lives, the companion plants will determine their strength.
As if the distance is getting further and further away, the tree man with the thousands of thorns mutated from the vigilance vine is the best among them. Even the three of the fifth level are difficult to match.
“Ah? Is Mr. Thorn also very strong among the tree people?”
Looking at the cautious Zhu Xia with a strange look on his face, after getting a confirmed nod from the other party, Sun Di and the other two looked at each other with a bit of surprise.
Before executing Plan C, even though they knew the complete steps of the plan, they still had some doubts about whether Sumo could successfully sneak in and carry out the subsequent tasks.
But now, with Zhu Xia's personal verification, when they think that their own directors have such "strength" in the other party's territory.
The four people immediately felt hot in their foreheads and directly faced each other. Zhu Xia rushed up:
"Elder Zhu Xia, what is the cultivation method of Jiguo? I can't seem to remember it clearly!"
"Elder, we have that multiflavored spore"
