Chapter 505: Chapter 505: You Have a Keen Eye for People

Zhu Rong spoke straightforwardly, "It’s like this, I have already entered the inner part of the Secret Realm to investigate and found that many places where Spirit Fruits exist have been picked by people ahead of time. I know that if they were picked, it must have been allowed by General Xiao."

"Rest assured, General Xiao, I am not an obstinate dinosaur. The act of picking is a normal human impulse, very common. I came to find General Xiao, actually, to propose a cooperation. I’ve observed that many of those Spirit Fruits are new varieties, which I would not dare to pick recklessly."

"But your group, General Xiao, not only did you pick them, you also caused no loss at all. Therefore, I suspect you must have some special ability. With such an ability, you can ensure no Spirit Fruits suffer any losses, which is a considerable recovery."

Having said that, Zhu Rong looked straight into Xiao Zhan’s eyes, waiting for his response.

"You guessed right, we indeed have ways, but I am not interested in cooperating with you," said Xiao Zhan indifferently.

There were still his own matters he hadn’t completed, what need was there for cooperation?

Zhu Rong was not irritated by the rejection, just gave a faint smile, looking very confident, "General Xiao, you picked so many Spirit Fruits ahead of time, surely you are interested in them. My talent is Seeking Dragon, which specializes in finding mystical treasures. If we cooperate, I can reveal to you the locations of all these mystical treasures."

"Do you think I need it?" Xiao Zhan asked with a light smile.

Her ability was indeed strong, but Xiao Zhan’s Perception was no mere show. Combined with the unmanned drone’s energy detection response device, ninety-nine percent of things in the Secret Realm couldn’t escape Xiao Zhan’s discerning eyes.

"I think you need it," Zhu Rong replied.

Finishing her words, she directly took out a photo.

Xiao Zhan looked at the photo and saw a Spirit Fruit resembling a gourd, with its colors split into black and white symmetrically—one side white, and the other black.

The two colors did not interfere with each other, clearly demarcated.

But at the center point of the gourd, the black and white entwined. Attracting each other, they slowly merged in a vortex-like manner.

It gave off a feeling of Taiji.

Xiao Zhan was seeing this kind of Spirit Fruit for the first time; he had never encountered it before.

He turned to Zhu Rong, asking curiously, "What is this Spirit Fruit?"

"I do not know either," Zhu Rong answered.

Xiao Zhan was astonished. You don’t know and yet you show it to me?

Probably she didn’t want to tell.

He turned his gaze toward Liu Xin beside him; surely Liu Xin would know what it was.

However, to Xiao Zhan’s surprise, Liu Xin shook her head as well.

She didn’t know either?

How could that be?

Just as Xiao Zhan was expressing his skepticism, Liu Xin leaned in and whispered, "My talent only works on the actual object. I can’t tell from a picture."

So that’s the case.

Xiao Zhan turned his gaze back to Zhu Rong, but he did not speak; since Zhu Rong brought it up, she must have her reasoning.

Sure enough, after locking eyes for two seconds, Zhu Rong began to speak.

"I truly do not know what this is, but this is the object with the strongest energy I found after traversing much of the Secret Realm. Preliminary judgment suggests it’s a Seventh Grade Spiritual Fruit. Seventh Grade, I think no matter what kind of Spirit Fruit it is, it’s worth agreeing to cooperate with me, right?"

"Are you saying you would give this Seventh Grade Spiritual Fruit to me?" Xiao Zhan asked.

"Yes."

Xiao Zhan smiled lightly, "Then bring it out for me to see first before I decide whether to cooperate with you."

First, let Liu Xin take a look; if it’s useful to him, then consider cooperating. If it’s of no use to him, then there is certainly no need to cooperate.

"It hasn’t been picked."

Not picked?

Then it is still in the Secret Realm.

Xiao Zhan sneered, "Then I might not be able to work with you."

Since it is still in the Secret Realm, Xiao Zhan could naturally find it himself.

However, Zhu Rong seemed to know what Xiao Zhan was thinking, she added, "You will not be able to find this Spirit Fruit, I know you have Perception Skill, but Perception can only sense the surface. Things hidden inside the mountain, you will not be able to detect."

Hearing this, Xiao Zhan’s expression turned colder.

He hadn’t expected this woman to understand him so thoroughly.

For a moment, Xiao Zhan did not know what decision to make.

Seeing Xiao Zhan’s hesitation, Zhu Rong was not in a hurry, "There’s plenty of time, you can think it over. A Seventh Grade Spiritual Fruit is not something one comes across every day, even if it’s not suitable for your use, it can still be traded with others."

Having said that, Zhu Rong left the decision making to Xiao Zhan.

After Zhu Rong left, Xiao Zhan posed the question to Liu Xin, "What do you think?"

"Why are you asking me?"

"You’re the key person, if not you, who else?"

If it was about cooperation, then it was about sending Liu Xin to help. Him going was of no use.

So the key was whether Liu Xin agreed or not.

"Yo, now you remember to ask my opinion, why didn’t you ask for my opinion before?" Liu Xin said sarcastically, rolling her eyes.

She still harbored resentment for Xiao Zhan compressing the two-month plan into one month.

Seeing her attitude, Xiao Zhan inexplicably thought of scolding her a bit. When did he not realize that Liu Xin could be so cheeky?

"Fine, you are right, then I agree to cooperate," Xiao Zhan said coldly.

"What? Damn, I haven’t agreed yet."

"It’s what you said, there’s no need to ask for your opinion."

"When did I say that?"

"Just now," Xiao Zhan remained indifferent.

You had the chance to express your opinion just now but chose to be sarcastic instead, well, forget it, I’ll decide for you.

"Damn, I’m not going; I don’t want to be a laborer!" Liu Xin protested, crossing her arms and turning her head away.

"It’s not up to you."

"Xiao Zhan, don’t be too much, I eat yours, I sleep yours, but I am also prolonging your life, the previous grudges were written off, if you don’t respect me, don’t blame me for quitting!"

"Ten jin of Secret Realm Origin Breathing Soil."

Xiao Zhan suddenly said this, and it caught Liu Xin off guard.

But soon, she understood the meaning of ten jin of Breathing Soil.

"This is not about the Breathing Soil, it’s that I inherently have no obligation to help you cooperate, I can help you find Life Essence supplements, but..."

"Twenty jin of Secret Realm Origin."

Liu Xin paused subconsciously, then a second later, "This matter concerns dignity, it’s not about how much Secret Realm Origin you give, it’s about..."

"Fifty jin of Secret Realm Origin."

"Hey, are you even listening to me? Being human requires dignity; dignity is a quality, more a bottom line, it’s very precious..."

"Two hundred jin of Secret Realm Origin."

"Two hundred jin to buy my dignity... you really know your people."
