Chapter 510: Chapter 510: Luring the Enemy into the Jar

"What’s the plan?" Xiao Zhan asked.

Liu Xin said, "The essence of Mind Control is Spiritual Control. As long as your spiritual power is higher than his, he naturally can’t affect you. With this Silvano’s ability, he can’t affect us."

"So you’re saying that this Silvano’s actions are to control you?"

"Correct." Liu Xin nodded, then added, "But I didn’t give him a chance to control me, not even pretending to."

"I actually think it’s okay to pretend for a bit."

"You mean counter-plot with his own scheme?"

"Yeah." Xiao Zhan nodded.

Liu Xin was a bit worried, "If we counter-plot, I’m so beautiful, what if he wants to take advantage of me without contributing anything?"

As she said this, she looked into Xiao Zhan’s eyes, then glanced at Ye Youlong next to her, "You can’t possibly protect me 24 hours a day, right?"

Xiao Zhan thought about it; this indeed was a problem.

But it was not that big of a problem.

"Don’t worry, I don’t need to protect you 24 hours a day, just during the day is enough. If he can get anything off of you without giving anything in return, even a single strand of your hair, I’ll admit he’s talented!"

"Admit he’s talented? If I get taken advantage of by him, you’ll just admit he’s talented? Are you just showing off with words?"

Xiao Zhan gave her a look, do you not understand the competition between men?

Do you not understand what the utmost honor means?

I’ll admit he’s talented.

Is that even more sincere than falling to the ground in admiration and singing a song of conquest?

"Anyway, rest assured, I’ve got this taken care of, I won’t let you get hurt." Xiao Zhan assured confidently.

"What if something happens?" Liu Xin was still a bit scared.

But no matter how you looked at her expression, that trace of fear seemed feigned.

Xiao Zhan knew she was about to set her conditions, "What should be done?"

"This concerns my innocence, what do you think should be done?"

"So you’re saying this is your chance to set the conditions."

"I don’t want to go."

"..." Xiao Zhan was speechless.

However, he was the one seeking help; he really could not be tough about it.

"You know my ability. If I say something will get done, it absolutely gets done. If I say you won’t get hurt, you absolutely won’t get hurt. I put my life on the line as the guarantee."

"Mm, I believe you." Liu Xin said, "But what if something happens?"

A whole herd of grass mud horses galloped through Xiao Zhan’s mind.

So you’re intentionally playing with me here?

Believe in me, but not completely trust me.

Just when Xiao Zhan felt like breaking down, Liu Xin suddenly relaxed her tone, "Forget it, I’ll just trust you."

A sly glint flashed through her eyes.

Xiao Zhan, with his sharp senses, caught this glint of slyness and instantly knew that this woman was just messing with him deliberately.

He was angry, but he paradoxically had no way to deal with Liu Xin.

He directly sent Liu Xin to go back to sleep, "Chernokov and his people won’t give up, but they won’t be in a hurry either. You take a rest these two days, and if there’s anything you need, you can find me."

After finishing, Xiao Zhan went back to his room to sleep.

The next day after waking up, Xiao Zhan gathered Hose and Zhu Rong to tell them his plan and had Hose analyze the feasibility of the plan.

After the final analysis, Hose also offered several detailed suggestions, and in the end, they confirmed the plan was viable.

Zhu Rong, after hearing it, also felt that the plan was doable.

Thus, they all waited for the opportunity to arrive.

Three days passed by just like that.

Chernokov sought out Xiao Zhan again; he got straight to the point, engaging in a private conversation with Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan cooperated with him for the performance, first resolutely refusing to work with him, then under the temptation of profit sharing from Chernokov, hesitantly entered into conflict.

In the end, the two engaged in a fierce round of price negotiation, ultimately not reaching a consensus on cooperation.

Chernokov returned to his defensive zone.

Even though he left, Xiao Zhan was not worried at all, because he knew Chernokov would come back.

But Xiao Zhan also couldn’t let him come back too late. The Seventh Grade Spiritual Fruits were about to ripen, and once ripened, they would attract some Demon Beasts. Missing the timing would indeed be regrettable.

Therefore, he deliberately had someone expose the shiny, intact Spirit Fruits while harvesting them.

Chernokov, seeing these brightly shining, undamaged Spirit Fruits through surveillance, would definitely be unable to resist.

Sure enough, just two days passed, and Chernokov came knocking again.

"General Xiao Zhan, fifty percent is already my limit; I also need to plug the holes down below, I really can’t back down further," Chernokov stated earnestly at the negotiation table.

Xiao Zhan of course didn’t believe his nonsense, but his goal wasn’t that. So, after pretending to agonize for a moment, he said, "Fifty percent it is, but I have a condition, that is, during the harvesting process, all commands must be ours to give, you can’t interfere."

"I’ll try my best."

"It’s not about trying, it’s a must!"

Chernokov’s brow furrowed slightly, "How about this: as long as we can ensure the safety of my side, everything will be up to you guys?"

"Agreed."

Xiao Zhan knew that they were all military men; although one might act a bit dishonestly, they still had to strictly adhere to their bottom lines.

Agreement reached.

Thus, on the following day, Liu Xin led Zhu Rong and others to the Northern Bear Federation’s harvesting area.

To ensure their safety, and also to better achieve his own goals, Xiao Zhan used the Face-Changing technique from Ghost Abacus to blend into the security team.

Why not appear personally?

The reason is simple, harvesting a resource, and you, a district chief, personally coming to protect, isn’t that telling others you’re up to something?

After entering the harvesting zone, based on Zhu Rong’s hints, the group approached a location not too far from the Seventh Grade Spiritual Fruit.

There was still one day until the Spiritual Fruits would ripen.

Today was the first day of cooperation, and it also provided a time buffer to lower the Northern Bear Federation’s guard.

"Let’s start harvesting this area first, our General needs the varieties here," Liu Xin said straightforwardly to Chernokov.

This remark of Liu Xin dispelled the doubts in Chernokov’s mind.

Today was the first day of cooperation, and Chernokov did not feel at ease, so he followed personally and kept observing covertly.

After Liu Xin entered the harvesting area, she went straight to this place without looking anywhere else. He thought there was some treasure here that he was unaware of, which aroused his suspicion.

It turned out to be the type of Spiritual Fruits that Xiao Zhan needed.

Xiao Zhan had mentioned this during negotiations - they were to harvest the Spiritual Fruits Xiao Zhan required first before going after what they needed.

Chernokov had agreed to it at the time.

"You should be very clear about the quantity of the Spiritual Fruits. The harvesting method is a Federation secret, which you cannot know. So your people can’t follow us for the harvesting; they just need to handle the transport and the records outside," Liu Xin said.
