“What did you say?
Wang Xiao was stunned and doubted his ears. “You mean... you want to kick me out of the team?” The link to the origin of this information rests in n0v3lb!n★
Chen Jinrong did not say anything and only nodded casually.
Wang Xiao immediately lost his composure. He stood up and asked in shock, “Commander Chen, why would you do this? A few days ago, you insisted that I go. Now, you want to kick out. What do you take me for? Are you playing games?”
“Watch your words!”
Chen Jinrong glared at Wang Xiao with a hint of displeasure on his face. “I chose to let you lead the team because I value your ability, but you used this to threaten me. What do you take me for?”
Before Wang Xiao could open his mouth and say anything, Chen Jinrong’s expression darkened and he continued, “This school exchange is very important. There can’t be any mistakes.”
“Since you threatened to cause trouble on the road and I don’t want to be threatened by you, the easiest way is to kick you out of the team and nip the uncertainty in the bud—what do you think?”
Wang Xiao opened his mouth and did not say anything. He mainly did not know what to say.
Only now did he realize that he seemed to have overlooked an important question. Was he that important in this matter?
In tne previous rew Incidents, Decause wang Mao was Das1ca11Y tne mam party involved, no matter what request he made, Chen Jinrong would basically satisfy it. Even if he really could not satisfy it, he would find another way to compensate him.
However, this school exchange was different. This event was initiated by Chen Jinrong, and the initiative was completely not in Wang Xiao’s hands.
Looking at the stubborn Chen Jinrong, Wang Xiao pursed his lips and thought for a moment. He decisively squeezed out a bright smile. “Commander Chen, perhaps I didn’t make it clear. Actually, it’s not much of a threat. I just want to discuss something with you.”
“You changed your mind so quickly?”
Chen Jinrong looked at Wang Xiao with a faint smile. It was obvious that he did not believe his words. However, he then nodded. “Tell me about it first.”
“Then I’ll say it?”
It was also because of this that even if the Lord’s Shop needed the [Black Gold Ore], they could only spend a large sum of money to buy it from the military. This was only because the Lord’s Shop was extremely powerful. If it were anyone else, they would probably not even be able to find this method.
As for Wang Xiao, who had the [Metal Devouring Ant], even in a secret realm with less abundant [Black Gold Ore] reserves, he could still mine a few units. At that time, he could use the “ten thousandfold quantity increase” to repay the
CleDt.
However, speaking of which, if there was a chance to earn money in front of him, who would despise having more money?
If he could enter a secret realm with abundant reserves because of Chen Jinrong, even if he only mined 100 units of black gold ore, it would still be a million units after the ten thousandfold enhancement.
At that time, not only could Wang Xiao settle his debt, but he could also buy another batch of resources to advance to level five. He could even obtain the resources for Zhou Xiruo to advance to level five!
Of course, all of this had to be based on the smoothness of the negotiations.
Moreover, from Chen Jinrong’s clearly gloomy expression at this moment, this “discussion” did not seem to be as smooth as Wang Xiao had imagined.
As expected.
The moment Wang Xiao finished speaking, Chen Jinrong’s palm slapped the table heavily with a bang!
The teacup and pen bounced high. Chen Jinrong frowned and glared at Wang Xiao. “Black Gold Ore? You really dare to open your mouth! Do you know that this is a global strategic resource? Even I have to apply to the military headquarters to mobilize it?”
Wang Xiao did not expect Chen Jinrong to have such a huge reaction. He was stunned for a moment before hurriedly saying, “Commander Chen, don’t be agitated first. I know that the [Black Gold Ore] is a rare resource. I’m just discussing it with you!”
“There’s nothing to discuss!”
Chen Jinrong waved his hand without any explanation. “If you lack money, I can give you 500,000 star coins in my personal name. If you want the [Black Gold Ore], don’t even think about it!”
“What’s 500,000 yuan for? I owe more than 100 billion!”
Wang Xiao thought to himself, but he still had a smile on his face. “Commander Chen, actually, I have a win-win solution. Not only can I obtain the [Black Gold Ore], but I might also be able to let you make a small contribution... Why don’t you listen to me first?”
“Do you think I need a small contribution?”
Chen Jinrong snorted coldly, but when he saw Wang Xiao’s persistent expression, he finally waved his hand.. “Tell me about it first!”
