Chapter 123 - He Has Accomplices
Chapter 123: He Has Accomplices
“Wang Hao, you’re too outrageous!” Jin Wei’s face was awful as the little jackass raised the price again and again.
Wang Hao pulled Bing Qiao’s sleeve and said pitifully, “Sister Bing Qiao, you must support me!”
Bing Qiao rolled her eyes. If Wang Hao hadn’t asked for the infinite energy crystal, she would’ve thought that Jin Wei was trying to rob Wang Hao of his antidote. Wang Hao’s intention was too obvious for anyone who was not an idiot.
However, more and more people were watching the argument. As a deputy president of the Guild of Pharmacists, she couldn’t side with the Military Department, could she?
Thinking about that, Bing Qiao sighed, knowing that she couldn’t get rid of Wang Hao now.
“I stand by what I said. Wang Hao belongs to the Guild of Pharmacists.” Bing Qiao knocked Wang Hao’s head and left, too ashamed to watch this any longer.
“One knock on the head for an infinite energy crystal. It’s a great bargain.” Wang Hao smiled and declared to Jin Wei cockily, “General, you heard her. Just tell me if you’re going to compensate me.”
“You, you…” Jin Wei breathed heavily, furious. The Guild of Pharmacists was known as the wealthiest force in the Universal Federation. It was truly unworthy of its deputy president to blackmail a minor lieutenant general with such a jackass like Wang Hao.
A soldier hurried to pull Jin Wei aside and said, “General, just keep an open mind. You will definitely be rewarded if you get the space gem. Chances are that you will even be promoted as a colonel general.”
“Hu… Hu…” Jin Wei took a few deep breaths and said coldly, “Wang Hao, you are good. Get the antidotes prepared. I’ll have someone take them later.”
He stormed off with the soldiers, unwilling to see Wang Hao again. He even regretted meeting with Wang Hao. Not only did he fail to get a discount, but he even lost an infinite energy crystal. He was truly unlucky.
At this moment, Ling Ling came to Wang Hao and pulled at his clothes pitifully.
“What’s wrong?” asked Wang Hao curiously.
Ling Ling pointed at her body and then at Jin Wei who was leaving.
Wang Hao understood what she meant. “You want the unique, high-precision cyborg bodies of the Military Department?”
Ling Ling nodded quickly and looked at Wang Hao with hope.
Wang Hao scratched his chin. “I can help you, but if you run away someday, wouldn’t I lose everything?”
“I promise that I won’t run away. I’ll be stuck with you,” Ling Ling promised.
Wang Hao looked at Ling Ling thoughtfully and said, “All right, I believe you!”
Qian Wanyang and Chen Yao looked at each other, finding it hard to believe that their boss was going to raise the price yet again. Their boss was truly a master in the art of blackmailing!
“General, wait a moment.” Wang Hao stopped Jin Wei. “As I said just now, the infinite energy crystal is a compensation for my mental losses. As for the antidote, you’re going to exchange for it with a female, high-precision cyborg body that is equipped with more than fifty weapons including ten or more level-four damage ones.”
Jin Wei nearly fell over. This shameless jackass was demanding more? Did he have no conscience at all?
Qian Wanyang and Chen Yao were dumbfounded. Their boss’s shamelessness—no, shrewdness—was truly astounding!
The general was only here to buy a cure for the zombie virus, but he was almost bankrupt. Wang Hao’s moves were truly brilliant!
Ling Ling’s eyes shined brighter than ever while she nodded her head quickly.
“Wang Hao, that’s too outrageous!” Jin Wei gnashed his teeth, trying to hold back his temper.
“Who’s outrageous?” Wang Hao snorted. “I told you that we’re in the middle of hyperinflation. Nobody knows what the price will be in the next second. If you don’t want it anymore, just tell me.”
Sweating hard, Jin Wei said coldly, “I don’t want it anymore!”
Wang Hao was slightly surprised that the general gave up. Was he going to watch the thousand soldiers die?
Ling Ling was more or less disappointed. Would she lose the high-precision body?
Thinking about that, Ling Ling pulled at Wang Hao’s clothes pitifully again.
Wang Hao looked at Ling Ling reassuringly. At this point, it was impossible that he would let Jin Wei go.
“You don’t want it anymore?” Wang Hao turned cold. “So you’re only here to mess with me? You think you can make fun of a brilliant genius of the Guild of Pharmaceutics?”
Jin Wei was even more infuriated. This little bastard was obviously forcing him to buy it.
Jin Wei was caught in a dilemma. If he refused the antidote, he would be admitting that he was only here to tease Wang Hao, which would be a slap on Wang Hao’s face and enrage Bing Qiao.
But if he were to buy the antidote, the price would be too high. Who would exchange such an advanced cyborg body for a thousand bottles of antidotes?
Wang Hao looked around and dropped a hint at Le Xuan, asking her to help.
Le Xuan rolled her eyes but did not refuse him. She was willing to help since it was for Ling Ling, so she whispered something to Mai Mengmeng.
Mai Mengmeng, blushing, nodded and said to Jin Wei, “I’m going to tell my master that you have no respect for the Guild of Pharmaceutics.”
Then, she ran to the temporary camp of the Guild of Pharmaceutics with a red face.
Jin Wei completely lost his temper; shameless Wang Hao even had accomplices to help him. He did not know what to do except to pay for the antidote right now.
If he hesitated any longer, Bing Qiao would arrive in no time.
In that case, he would lose both money and his title as a lieutenant general.
If he lost the money, he could make it back later, but if he lost his rank, he would be doomed.
“All right, Wang Hao, you are good. I’ll buy your antidote…” Jin Wei waved his hand sorrowfully and ran with his soldiers, fearing that Wang Hao would raise the price again.
After Jin Wei left, the System’s voice echoed in Wang Hao’s head. 〈〈Ding-dong. The host has conducted a successful extortion. Reward: 10,000,000 Villain Points.〉〉
Wang Hao narrowed his eyes as he watched Jin Wei leave and murmured, “Ten million points. This guy must be of a high level!”
Qian Wanyang and Chen Yao looked at Wang Hao in admiration. It was impossible for them to live a poor life with such an awesome boss!
