Slap!

He slammed down the phone so hard his lungs almost burst.

“Thug!

Shameless!”

Zheng was furious.

Beside him, Wu Jie casually offered a cigarette.

“Why such fury?

As the top thugs, wouldn’t it be just like them to use some scheming tactics?”

Zheng chuckled.

“You seem pretty relaxed.

But what do we do now?”

Wu Jie replied with a playful smile, “I don’t mind!

Whatever Elder Tan says, I do!”

“That’s right!

For such a big issue, it’s best to let Elder Tan worry.

Our job is just to follow orders!”

Zheng pulled over a chair and sat down, mimicking Wu Jie, smoking leisurely.

Wu Jie, calm and composed, was neither due to strong mental resilience but because he had anticipated this.

The first auction at noon had seen Perrio walk away in defeat, humiliated by Watanabe Taizo, no doubt fuming with anger.

With their domineering nature, how could they swallow such an insult?

That they didn’t blow Watanabe Taizo’s transporter out of the sky mid-journey or forcefully intercept it was already commendable.

“Hey, aren’t you curious about what five conditions they proposed?” Zheng asked mysteriously.

Wu Jie shook his head and smiled, “I don’t care about the conditions.

We just need to do our part!”

“That’s also true.

We shouldn’t meddle in affairs that aren’t our responsibility.”

Zheng laughed and said no more, just waiting for the latest instructions.

Meanwhile, Wu Jie was browsing the internet without hurry, keeping an eye on public opinion.

Checking major traffic websites to see if any hackers had planted viruses or Trojan horses to secretly infect users’ computers and steal data.

Nowadays, people love to shop and entertain themselves online, so information security is paramount.

As people enjoy the conveniences offered by the internet, little do they know that someone is safeguarding their journey.

…

Time ticked away by the second.

Suddenly, the red phone rang.

Zheng quickly answered, his expression growing darker.

“It’s…

he’s right beside me, you talk to him!”

Passing the phone to Wu Jie, Zheng mouthed the words ‘Elder Tan’ silently.

Wu Jie smiled faintly.

Taking the phone, he asked, “Elder Tan, any instructions?”

Elder Tan sighed, “What instructions can I give?

I’m asking if you can, without affecting the normal artifact recovery and free auctions, provide Perrio with 150,000 Detox Pills within five days?”

“150,000 pills…” Wu Jie was slightly taken aback.

That’s a huge appetite!

No wonder Zheng’s face darkened so much upon hearing it.

After all, considering the auction’s starting bid of two-hundred thousand per pill, it valued at least thirty billion yuan.

But at today’s noon auction, Watanabe Taizo doubled the bidding price.

This showed how popular the Detox Pills were.

Thus, if Wu Jie were to auction these many Detox Pills, they could easily fetch four to five hundred billion yuan.

But…

Wu Jie knew the aggressive nature of the Star Federation.

It wasn’t easy for the global hegemon to agree to cooperate.

Even if it’s a piece of rotten meat, they would squeeze out the last drop of oil.

Most importantly…

Before leaving in the afternoon, Perrio had indirectly hinted to Wu Jie.

Though not explicitly stated, Wu Jie knew there’s no such thing as a free lunch.

Moreover, Perrio’s first auction loss against Watanabe Taizo, where they had to exchange artifacts for a few thousand Detox Pills, was incredibly humiliating for a world superpower.

Therefore.

It was only normal for them to try to extort something in this situation.

Wu Jie was utterly nonchalant, even contemplating having a late-night yellow braised chicken rice as a snack.

“Hey Jie, are you listening?

Can you do it or not?

Give me a definite answer!” Elder Tan urged.

Wu Jie sighed, “Since you asked me like this, even if I can’t, I have to!”

“Alright!

With your word, I feel reassured!”

As soon as Elder Tan finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

Bam!

Zheng slammed the table again.

“150,000 Detox Pills!

Worth billions!”

“Damn it, truly super thugs of the world!”

“They already signed the agreement, but suddenly they want to change it, adding five more conditions!”

“It sounds good in theory, each condition seems advantageous for us, but it still feels like they’re exploiting the situation!”

Zheng continued murmuring in anger.

Wu Jie tried to calm him:

“They just secured a handful of Detox Pills, they can’t possibly rip up the agreement and betray their word now.”

“Deploying an aircraft carrier battle group is just to make us pay attention, to let us know they can make things smooth or difficult for us, simply increasing their bargaining chip.”

Zheng sighed deeply.

Flicking the cigarette ashes, he looked at Wu Jie with a profound gaze.

“I know all this, I understand what the Star Federation is thinking.

Anyway, since the situation is set, any profit we can extract is good.”

Wu Jie gave a faint smile.

“Look at the bigger picture.

Even if they get the 150,000 Detox Pills, what can they do?

Can they completely eradicate the virus epidemic?

Can they successfully reverse-engineer it?”

“Instead, tasting the sweetness and recognizing its benefits, they will become dependent and never be able to part with the Detox Pills again!

Let’s just consider this thirty million spent on advertising!”

“These days, just running a TV ad online can cost way more than thirty million, right?

So spending a little to achieve a lot, did they really think they could trick me?

Do they think the title ‘King of Tricksters’ came for free?”

Zheng nodded repeatedly, but then he suddenly paused.

“Hey!

Something’s not right!

It’s supposed to be a loss of thirty billion, how come…

Oh my!

You…”

Zheng looked around and lowered his voice to ask:

“Seriously, bro?

What kind of divine maneuver is this?”

“Fifteen thousand Detox Pills, only costing thirty million to produce, doesn’t that make the cost per pill twenty yuan?”

Wu Jie sneered, “Exactly!

Did you think selling them at two hundred thousand yuan each, the cost would actually be tens of thousands?

Nonsense!”

“If it wasn’t for a ten thousand times profit, do you think Tang Xiao and I would be willing to burn the midnight oil these days?”

“Getting up early and working late, overtime all the way, we both didn’t even have time for sweet nothings.

If it wasn’t massively lucrative, why would we bother?”

Upon hearing this, Zheng was utterly astonished.

Damn!

A ten thousand times profit!

King of Tricksters indeed lived up to his reputation!

From ancient times until now, who could out-trick Wu Jie?

A drug costing twenty yuan being sold for two hundred thousand yuan!

And still, it has high demand, causing crazy international bidding!

Even leading the Star Federation to resort to military threats and extorting fifteen thousand pills.

Now thinking about it…

Who’s the greatest con?

Who’s the cruelest?

“Insanely cool and awesome, this is simply defying the heavens!”

Zheng took a fierce drag of his cigarette and couldn’t help but laugh:

“If they knew the Detox Pills they haggled and extorted for were actually so cheap…

I guess they’d collectively vomit blood and explode on the spot, right?”

Wu Jie shook his head, “No, no, no, the first to explode would definitely be Watanabe Taizo!”

Zheng paused, then burst out laughing:

“Right!

They’ve already spent 19.2 billion yuan, what would they feel if they knew your cost was less than a million?

They’d definitely feel screwed over!”

Wu Jie just smiled faintly.

Keeping quiet and making a fortune would definitely thrill most people.

But Wu Jie wasn’t actually satisfied.

Because this had to be kept secret, or if other countries knew they were being massively conned, the hatred would let him rake in energy points like crazy.

Unfortunately, he could only keep a low profile!

…

The time was quietly approaching eleven-thirty.

Not much time was left before the second bidding began.

Some national pharmaceutical companies were already preparing for the second auction, especially the twenty that didn’t get any Detox Pills in the first round.

This time, they had learned their lesson.

Several national pharmaceutical companies teamed up, joining forces to pool financial resources for a fierce bid.

Of course, some were not so proactive.

They were contemplating if there was another way to get Detox Pills cheaply, or even for free.

Perrio, who first got the Detox Pills, had early on passed those three pills to his brother Hittory.

The release of the Sakuragi Hana virus was an accident.

Originally, the Rosdelle Auxiliary Business Association planned to collaborate with the Muto Conglomerate to make money.

But who could have expected?

The Muto Conglomerate’s medicine couldn’t control, and was useless against the new virus mutation.

Instead, it paved the way for Wu Jie’s Detox Pills to shine brightly, turning it into the only Life-saving Elixir, and he reaped the benefits.

And they immediately used those three obtained Detox Pills for reverse engineering.

Analyzing the chemical components, studying the bacterial colonies, conjecturing the cultivation and production processes…

But such reverse engineering was obviously very time consuming.

Many scientists, after rapid analysis and research, thought the difficulty was too high.

It was even harder than winning the jackpot lottery, no matter how many resources were invested, the success of deciphering was uncertain.

Therefore, they needed to find a way to make Wu Jie reveal the formula and process.

Otherwise, continually bidding high prices would just make Wu Jie richer.

Once Hittory learned the Detox Pills couldn’t be decoded, he quickly began preparing and launched a second plan.

And Perrio, informed of this development, took a tougher stance in negotiations, insisting on all one hundred and fifty thousand Detox Pills, not one less.

As long as they were willing to pay, anything else was negotiable.

…

At eleven-forty.

Suddenly!

The phone rang.

Zheng put on his headset and Wu Jie immediately answered, with Elder Tan’s voice coming through.

“Confirmed, one hundred fifty thousand Detox Pills within five days!

No problem, right?”

Wu Jie laughed, “Of course, no problem!

But, how do we settle the costs?

You can’t expect me to take a loss, right?”

Elder Tan asked briskly, “How about a subsidy of twenty billion?

Is that enough?”

“Just twenty billion?

Well… oh!

For the greater good, I’ll take a loss, okay then!”

Looking at Wu Jie’s pretend sigh of pain, Zheng was utterly speechless.

“I hear your tone, you seem to be at a real loss, huh?” Elder Tan teased.

Wu Jie immediately spoke with firmness:

“No, no, no!

You misunderstood!

The greater cause is important, my personal losses, they’re nothing at all!”

Zheng rolled his eyes at the side.

What kind of divine maneuver is this?

Conning your own people and still acting so noble and shameless, your skin must be bulletproof now, right?

Good thing, Elder Tan’s next words comforted Zheng.

“Hurry up and get your work arranged, head over to Base No.

1!”

“This big show, how can it go on without you?”
