Chapter 1349 I Originally Wanted to Refuse, But He Offered Too Much (3)
Although Lin Kelei came from the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom, he knew about connate divine weapons.
Connate divine weapons were not ordinary existences even in the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom. Most soldiers didn"t have a connate divine weapon.
If a connate divine weapon was placed in the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom, people would fight to the death for it.
Not to mention anything else, just a connate divine weapon was enough to make ordinary soldiers of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom fight for the ancestral land.
"Connate divine weapons are only a deposit?" Lin Kelei tried his best not to show any emotion on his face.
"Only a deposit." Zhou Shu nodded solemnly.
"After this matter is done, if they still want connate divine weapons, I will give them three to ten connate divine weapons according to their contributions. If they don"t want connate divine weapons, I will pay them an equivalent amount."
Zhou Shu said in a low voice, "Of course, the spoils of war will belong to them as well. It"s not part of the offer!"
Lin Kelei took a deep breath. It had to be said that this offer was enough for him to make a move! As expected of remnants of the Heavenly Court! The Heavenly Court has already declined for so many years, yet there are so many good things!
Back then, the Heavenly Court"s treasure vault had disappeared without a trace. It seemed that it was indeed still in the ancestral land!
Lin Kelei didn"t think that Zhou Shu, a forger, had the ability to forge so many connate divine weapons. He only felt that these remnants of the Heavenly Court had indeed discovered the Heavenly Court"s treasure vault back then.
Otherwise, why would Zhou Shu be so arrogant?
Even he, Lin Kelei, didn"t dare to boast like this.
"How can I trust you to pay this price?" Lin Kelei asked.
Zhou Shu asked back. "Brother Lin, do you think anyone in the world dares to lie to you? Aren"t I afraid that your Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom will destroy us humans?"
Lin Kelei nodded slightly. What he said made sense.
Indeed, who in the world would dare to lie to him, Lin Kelei? Were they tired of living?
Lin Kelei pondered and said, "Then, Brother Zhou, how many warriors can you hire from our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom?
"If it"s just two or three, then you don"t have to say anything. In addition, the price is different for different cultivation levels."
Lin Kelei now felt that this method wasn"t bad. The main thing was that Zhou Shu"s price was too high.
Let"s not worry about anything else. Let"s earn some money first! Lin Kelei thought.
"Two or three is useless to us," Zhou Shu said. "I don"t know the strength of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom, but to me, the more, the better."
Zhou Shu thought for a moment and said, "I"ll hire a hundred thousand people first."
"How many?" Lin Kelei"s eyes widened.
"A hundred thousand." Zhou Shu said calmly.
"A hundred thousand?" Lin Kelei said in disbelief. "Brother Zhou, you have to think carefully. If there are a hundred thousand people, just the deposit will cost you a hundred thousand connate divine weapons!"
Lin Kelei said with an ugly expression, "Don"t tell me you don"t know what this means. It"s definitely impossible for anyone in this world to be able to take out 100,000 connate divine weapons at once!
"Even the Heavenly Court back then couldn"t do it! Brother Zhou, if you want to play a trick on me, don"t blame me for falling out with you."
"Why would I play a trick on you?" Zhou Shu shook his head. "Just because others can"t take them out doesn"t mean I can"t.
"Brother Lin, didn"t I tell you before? I"m a forger."
"So what if you"re a forger? Can you forge a hundred thousand connate divine weapons alone?" Lin Kelei said. "Don"t think I don"t know. Our Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom also has forgers."
Lin Kelei said firmly, "A hundred thousand is impossible. Even if you can take out a hundred thousand connate divine weapons to pay the deposit, I don"t believe you can afford it!"
"Alright," Zhou Shu said. "Your Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom might not be able to mobilize a hundred thousand people easily."
Zhou Shu said casually, "Then, let"s start with thirty thousand."
Lin Kelei frowned. "Thirty thousand won"t do either! Ten thousand at most!
"Apart from the deposit of a connate divine weapon for each person, I want to confirm that the humans of your ancestral land can afford the rest!"
Although Lin Kelei was sure that no one would dare to lie to him, he was a little hesitant now.
According to Zhou Shu"s offer, hiring 10,000 people was an astronomical price.
Even the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom couldn"t easily afford it.
He was worried that Zhou Shu would trick him.
"It"s easy." Zhou Shu smiled at Lin Kelei. "Brother Lin, take a look."
Zhou Shu pointed forward. The dense white fog in front of him automatically parted, revealing a straight path.
At the end of the road, there was a mountain that stretched as far as the eye could see.
The mountain was all made of various heavenly treasures.
Lin Kelei"s breathing suddenly became heavy.
d.a.m.n it, there"s really a mountain of treasures!
These poor remnants of the Heavenly Court are actually so rich?
Even the treasures of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom for countless years are nothing.
The value of these treasures is indeed not inferior to tens of thousands of connate divine weapons.
"Brother Lin, do you believe me now?" Zhou Shu smiled indifferently. "In terms of strength, I might not be comparable to you. But in terms of wealth, I"m really not bragging. Among the five heavenly kingdoms, there are probably not many people who can compare to me.
"Brother Lin, I"ll have to trouble you to hire the warriors of the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom. It"s just a small gift. Please accept it."
Zhou Shu flipped his wrist, and a long sandalwood box appeared in his hand.
He handed the sandalwood box to my Lin Kelei.
"No—" Lin Kelei was about to say that there was no need. What kind of person was he? He was under one person in the Gou Mang Heavenly Kingdom and above countless others. Why would he covet such a small benefit from him?
But Zhou Shu then opened the wooden box. There were three connate divine weapons inside.
The connate divine weapons made a clanging sound in the box. Their sharpness a.s.saulted him.
With just a glance, Lin Kelei could no longer refuse.
What good divine weapons!
As long as one was a martial artist, they couldn"t refuse.
It"s not that I, Lin Kelei, have never seen anything good before. It"s just that he"s giving me exactly what I want.
I, Lin Kelei, am also the savior of the human race. Isn"t it only right for me to accept some things from them?
