Divine Beast Lord: 10000 Amplifier From The Start

90 It’s Easy for a Mountain and River To Change, but It’s Hard To Change One’s Nature

Hearing Chen Jinrong’s words, Wang Xiao thought of something. “You want to understand the situation of the Crimson Star through him?”

Chen Jinrong nodded noncommittally. “I have plans for this, but that’s not the most important part.”

Without waiting for Wang Xiao to ask further, Chen Jinrong continued, “I can’t tell you much about Andu for the time being, but I can tell you that the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] was one of the resources in his territory. In fact, it was the only mutated beast egg.”

“That’s why you said that this might be a mutated beast of the Crimson Star.”

!!

Wang Xiao nodded in realization, then revealed a puzzled expression. “But why did Andu leave behind a beast egg? Aren’t his soldiers demons?”

“That’s what we’re working on.”

Chen Jinrong narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, “But Andu is tight-lipped about this matter. We can’t get any more information and can only study it ourselves.”

“The process in the middle is not important. In the end, we think that this might not be a beast egg. It just looks more similar, so we plan to do an experiment to see if this beast egg can really hatch.”

Hearing this, Wang Xiao vaguely revealed a displeased expression. “Are you using me?”

“The other nine beast eggs were not given for nothing.”

Chen Jinrong smiled and did not answer Wang Xiao’s question directly. He paused for a moment and continued, “Now that you hatched that beast egg, it means that our guesses are all wrong. Now, we’re back to the original question—”

Chen Jinrong looked straight at the ice sculpture in the room. “If you want to figure out why Andu kept a beast egg, you can only ask him.”

Wang Xiao did not listen to Chen Jinrong and continued to stare fixedly at the other party as he asked coldly, “Why didn’t you inform me in advance? This is a Crimson Star mutated beast! What if the contract fails? You’re gambling with my life!”

Chen Jinrong glanced at Wang Xiao and said indifferently, “That’s right. We’re gambling, so what do you want to do about it?”

“I—”

Wang Xiao opened his mouth but realized that he did not know what to say.

He originally thought that Chen Jinrong would explain or that the military had done a lot of research to ensure its safety.

However, there was nothing. Chen Jinrong admitted it openly, but Wang Xiao could do nothing but be angry. Was he going to become enemies with the Blue Planet’s military?

As if knowing Wang Xiao’s thoughts, Chen Jinrong patted his shoulder again. “I know you’re very angry, but I had no choice. If I told you that it’s a mutated beast of the Crimson Star, would you still choose to hatch it?”

Wang Xiao did not say anything, but he knew what he would have chosen.

The long war had long made the danger of the Crimson Star deeply ingrained in the hearts of every lord of the Blue Planet. If he knew that the [Dark Swamp Crocodile Dragon] came from the Crimson Star, he would most likely abandon it.

Seeing that Wang Xiao did not speak, Chen Jinrong smiled as if he had long expected it. Then, he patted Wang Xiao’s shoulder for the third time.

“Don’t worry, we won’t treat you badly. As long as you help us with another small favor, I can give you a considerable reward.”

Wang Xiao looked confused. Chen Jinrong blinked and said it so that only the two of them could hear, “Mechanical beast.”

“What?”

Wang Xiao’s eyes lit up. He had long wanted the production method of the mechanical beast, but Chen Jinrong had gone back on his word last time. He did not expect the other party to take the initiative to mention it again!

However, after being happy for a while, Wang Xiao immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Previously, he had contributed so much to resisting the invasion of the Crimson Star but had not been able to obtain the production method of the mechanical beast. This time, the “a small favor” that Chen Jinrong said was most likely not a small matter!

Thinking of this, Wang Xiao immediately resisted the urge to agree. He looked at Chen Jinrong and asked warily, “What do you want me to do?”

Chen Jinrong smiled mysteriously and stretched out his finger to knock on the cold observation window. “If a Crimson Star person saves Andu, perhaps he will unintentionally reveal something?”

“Uh…”

Wang Xiao took a full ten seconds to finally understand what Chen Jinrong meant. “You want me to pretend to be a member of the Crimson Star to save Andu?”

Chen Jinrong shook his head when he heard this. However, before Wang Xiao could heave a sigh of relief, Chen Jinrong continued, “You’re too young and have no experience in doing such things. I just want to borrow an item from you.”

As he spoke, Chen Jinrong retracted his hand and casually brushed his fingertips across Wang Xiao’s face. “I don’t know what method you used, but since you could pretend to be me and sneak in here, you must have used some high-level item, right?”

“Uh…”

After another ten seconds of hesitation, Wang Xiao finally wiped his face and a crystal mask as thin as a cicada’s wing appeared in his hand.

“It’s actually orange quality?”

When Chen Jinrong saw the [Nirvana Mask], he immediately revealed a shocked expression. He had thought that Wang Xiao definitely had a high-level item, but he did not expect it to be orange quality!

“You…”

As soon as Chen Jinrong spoke, Wang Xiao said coldly, “This is my secret. If you want to use it, don’t ask me how I got it.”

“…Alright.”

Chen Jinrong chuckled and reached out to take the [Nirvana Mask], but Wang Xiao suddenly retracted his hand.

“This is an orange item. I can’t lend it to you for nothing.”

Wang Xiao said with a stubborn expression, “I want 10,000 star coins and we have to sign a contract. Otherwise, I’m afraid you won’t return it to me!”

Chen Jinrong could not help but laugh when he heard this. “You sure know how to do business. Your nature is really hard to change! Alright!”

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Jinrong raised his hand and scooped in the air. A [Contract Scroll] appeared in his hand. It stated that he would borrow the [Nirvana Mask] for three days. After paying the rent of 10,000 star coins, he handed the scroll to Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao checked and signed the contract without any mistakes, but he still held the [Nirvana Mask] tightly in his hand.

Seeing this, Chen Jinrong’s expression finally darkened. “The contract has been signed. What else do you want?”

“And the spoils of war of the Crimson Star.”

Wang Xiao met Chen Jinrong’s gaze and said without showing any weakness, “I know that your research will take time, so I don’t want it now, but you have to give me a date.”

“That’s it?!”

Chen Jinrong sneered and thought for a moment before saying, “Then three days. Come and retrieve the items three days later and take away the spoils of war!”

“Sure!”

Wang Xiao did not bargain this time. After all, Chen Jinrong was a big shot in the military. If he continued to push his luck, if he really angered the other party, he would probably suffer more than a loss.

...

After warning Wang Xiao to keep everything here absolutely secret, Chen Jinrong asked Qi Lianjun to send him out.

After leaving the military building, Wang Xiao stood by the street and looked at the traffic and voices everywhere. He suddenly had a strange feeling.

If not for the fact that he had seen it with his own eyes, who would believe that a Crimson Star royal family was imprisoned here?

Moreover, this was only what Wang Xiao had seen. How many secrets were hidden in those places that he could not see?
