Chapter 329: Giant Nurturing Insights

Bing Xiao was old and cunning. Seeing the slight change in the dragonman youngster's expression, he took the opportunity to hand him another scroll.

It was a contract scroll.

“As long as you, Commander Long Fu, sign this contract, then all the assets on the list will be yours!”

The dragonman youngster put down the asset list in his hand, and his expression returned to normal.

He did not take the contract scroll but looked at Bing Xiao: “Let me guess—the contract’s terms aren’t about making me abandon the heroic duel, are they?”

“That’s not the case,” Bing Xiao smiled, "We have fully considered your circumstances, Commander Long Fu.”

“The heroic duel was something you initiated voluntarily.”

“If, under the current circumstances, you suddenly take the initiative to give up your challenge to our gang leader, Teng Dong Lang, how will the outside world view you?”

“You will be misunderstood as cowardly, weak, and a loser who dares to talk but not act.”

“This will cause too much damage to your reputation!”

“I came here to sincerely seek cooperation with your group, so of course I won't do that.”

The dragonman youngster sneered, “If I accuse the Bayonet Gang of crimes and then suddenly announce that I am giving up the heroic duel, I'm afraid the outside world will guess that you threatened me.”

Bing Xiao hurriedly waved his hands and denied, “I have no intention of threatening you, Commander, during this visit!”

He continued, "We only need you to publicly clarify that the previous accusation was a misunderstanding. Our gang has never done anything to desecrate the heroic duel."

The dragonman youngster smiled and leaned back in his chair: “Are there any other requests?”

Bing Xiao hesitated for a moment before saying, “If you are willing to lose to our gang leader in the heroic duel, then I personally will give you a generous reward!”

The dragonman youngster looked strange: "Bribing your opponent to stage a fake fight—is that not a desecration of the honorable duel?"

Bing Xiao immediately replied, "Of course not! This is a mutually beneficial arrangement between both parties—how could it be considered a desecration?" 

The Bayonet Gang's demand hit the nail on the head. 

Without this accusation, the Bayonet Gang would be out of danger, with no longer any threat to the gang's survival.

Even if Teng Dong Lang was careless and lost to the dragonman youngster, it would not cause serious damage to the Bayonet Gang.

But how could the dragonman youngster agree to that?

This was the opportunity that the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord had been waiting for many years!

He had already made a contract with the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord, and based on the dragonman youngster's beliefs and values, he would not conspire with the Bayonet Gang.

However, the dragonman youngster remembered the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord's request to let him play along and paralyze the enemy as much as possible.

So, after thinking about it for a while, the dragonman youngster said carefully, “You want me to explain that this is a misunderstanding?”

“That request sounds easy, but it's actually very unreasonable!”

“You did interfere with the heroic duel and used the devil's eye outside the arena.”

Seeing that Bing Xiao wanted to speak, the dragonman youngster immediately waved his hand: “Don't deny it, because if you do, I definitely won't believe you.”

“If you do something wrong, you have to be punished!”

“The assets on the list alone are not enough, far from enough to compensate for the damage to my reputation.”

Hearing this, Bing Xiao suddenly felt a flash of hope.

Before he came, he had discussed it with Teng Dong Lang and felt that the dragonman youngster did not have any relevant evidence.

If there was sufficient evidence, the dragonman youngster would have brought it out immediately to nail down the blasphemy of the Bayonet Gang, which would be in the best interests of the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps.

Therefore, it was highly likely that the dragonman youngster had no evidence.

But in case he really did have it, considering that he did not bring it out and announce it directly, Bing Xiao naturally wondered: Was the dragonman youngster worried about the Bayonet Gang's desperate retaliation, so he deliberately left room for reconciliation in the end?

After all, the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps was far weaker than the Bayonet Gang.

Or there was another possibility.

The dragonman youngster was holding onto this evidence, waiting for the Bayonet Gang to negotiate, so that he could get what he wanted from the negotiating table.

Now, the dragonman youngster's answer confirmed Bing Xiao's previous guess.

There was hope!

Bing Xiao smiled and said, “Commander Long Fu, whatever you want, you can ask for it, and we can discuss it.”

These words sounded familiar to the dragonman youngster.

Not long ago, the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord had said something similar to him.

So, the dragonman youngster made an exorbitant demand, asking for a price so high that it made Bing Xiao's face turn solemn.

So, the dragonman youngster made an exorbitant demand, asking for a price so high that it made Bing Xiao's face turn solemn.

This time, it was the dragonman youngster's turn to smile: “Didn't you just say that we could discuss it?”

Bing Xiao was taken aback for a moment, and the look in his eyes changed slightly as he looked at the dragonman youngster.

I didn't expect you, with your honest-looking thick eyebrows and big eyes, to be such a cunning businessman!

"Come, have some coffee." The dragonman youngster took the initiative to make coffee for Bing Xiao.

"Do you have tea? I'm getting old, so I prefer to drink that."

“Of course.”

The dragonman youngster and Bing Xiao then engaged in a difficult negotiation.

The best outcome of Bing Xiao's trip would be to get the dragonman youngster to sign a contract and publicly state that the previous accusation was a misunderstanding.

Therefore, Bing Xiao was prepared to make a big sacrifice.

He already had a plan.

“Even if Long Fu demands a high price, I can agree to it for the time being.”

“As long as he signs the contract, we can stabilize him and have him clarify that his previous accusation was a misunderstanding, and the Bayonet Gang will be safe.”

"After that, how we deal with him and the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps will depend on our mood, right? "

“Even if these assets fall into his hands, there will always be countless ways to get them back.”

"But we have to be careful with the gold coins, potions, equipment, and so on that can be taken away. I have to minimize the scale of such transactions to prevent the difficulty of recovering the losses in the future."

Although Bing Xiao's plan was very good, the dragonman youngster didn't want to reach an agreement with him!

The dragonman youngster deliberately made things difficult, even though Bing Xiao repeatedly said that the Bayonet Gang really didn't have that many assets. He spoke with sincerity, almost to the point of tears.

The dragonman youngster relented a little, but only very slightly.

Bing Xiao gradually felt despair at the deadlock in the negotiations, which were difficult to move forward.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration: “Commander Long Fu, I have something that you will definitely be interested in.”

"Oh? Tell me about it," said the dragonman youngster.

Bing Xiao's smile was a little forced, and his face showed a look of pain: “As everyone knows, I have experience in training giant slaves.”

“When I was in the Bayonet Gang, I trained a gold level giant slave.”

“After I retired, I had more time to study and refine my skills, and I summarized a set of unique training techniques.”

“With these techniques, I am about to train my second gold level giant slave.”

“Commander Long Fu, since you are pursuing giant-type intelligence potions, and your group also has a giant... this knowledge will definitely be of great help to you!”

“Commander Long Fu, since you are pursuing giant-type intelligence potions, and your group also has a giant... this knowledge will definitely be of great help to you!”

The dragonman youngster instantly thought of the big guy.

He was moved.

Although the big guy's bloodline had not been tested for the final results, it was at least legendary.

This represented his bright future!

But to grow up, a lot of investment was needed.

If there was a unique insight into cultivating giants, it would allow the dragonman youngster to have a higher return on his subsequent investment in the big guy.

Not to mention anything else, just the time saved was enough to tempt the dragonman youngster.

The survivors' time was very tight.

What they needed was to continuously and rapidly strengthen their own power, communicate with the upper echelons of the empire, and successfully atone for their sins.

The future of the survivors was also uncertain.

As their leader, the dragonman youngster had to consider the consequences of failing to atone for their sins.

That was why he had risked a minor conflict with Bing Xiao in order to obtain the giant-type intelligence potion.

As for the conflict escalating to its current state, it was not a normal development and was beyond the dragonman youngster's expectations.

If the dragonman youngster had known at the time that such a small conflict would lead to a life-and-death struggle between the Dragon Lion Mercenary Corps and the Bayonet Gang, he would not have done it.

Even if he knew about the help of the Snow Bird Harbor City Lord.

It was an unnecessary risk.

It had nothing to do with their main purpose.

But since it had already happened, the dragonman youngster naturally had to go with the flow.

Time would not give him a chance to regret it!

Similarly, since the giant cultivation insight had been shown to the dragonman youngster by Bing Xiao in such a strange way, he naturally had to get his hands on it.

So, the dragonman youngster said bluntly, “Then tell me, how can I cultivate a gold level giant slave?”

“Commander Long Fu, I can't go into detail about that,” Bing Xiao smiled.

He mentioned a few minor points that were relatively unimportant.

But even these points were very useful to the dragonman youngster, who eagerly memorized them.

Seeing that the dragonman youngster was interested, Bing Xiao took advantage of the moment and tempted him, “Commander, I heard that your group has a giant member who seems to be of mixed race.”

“You can use my unique knowledge and insight.”

“The bloodline of giants is very excellent, comparable to that of dragons in terms of bloodline grade.”

"The prerequisite for cultivating a gold level giant is to find a giant with gold level talent. This is much easier than finding a snow elf or human with gold level talent."

“The most important point is, once we have cultivated a gold level giant, how do we control him

“The bloodline of giants is excellent. To make a gold level giant obey us, to keep the slave contract in effect, and to make him listen to our every word, it requires our spirit power to be much higher than that of the giant slave.”

"The core of my insights is to skillfully suppress the spirit of the giant slave so that we can firmly control him. Even if we are only at the silver level!"
