Chapter 561 Plan C! Top Pull!
"First"
"I think Lord Zhu Ling should know the significance of coal to us humans. We will not sit idly by and watch the dwarves continue to be so arrogant this winter. Frankly speaking, regardless of whether we can reach a cooperation with the tree people, we will conduct a pre-attack drill against the Blackstone Camp occupied by the dwarves to boost the prestige of the territory"
"Of course, whether it is a frontal attack or an attack in other ways cannot be disclosed for the time being, but our goal is certain, that is, to empty their coal storage"
"For this point, I hope the tree people can send 30 to 50 tree people to assist"
After a little thought, Zhu Ling nodded directly: "I can agree to your request, but you can't treat our tree brothers as meat shields and cannon fodder. If the casualties are too high or the plan is too risky, I will immediately stop the cooperation"
"That's no problem. I believe our lord will not see casualties, whether it is us or our allies!"
Taking the most important point to negotiate first is a small trick in the negotiation.
Seeing Zhu Ling agreed without a doubt, Su Mo was delighted and began to dig holes around the next big plan.
The land flower and the big royal flower are the few fine plants that the tree people can trade with the outside world.
Especially when talking about the big royal flower, Zhu Ling's deliberate emphasis has fully demonstrated that he knows the necessity of this thing to humans.
Asking for it directly, regardless of whether it will succeed or not, how much it will cost.
If the tree people do something in it, it will not be easy to wait for the next opportunity to go deep into the enemy camp.
Therefore, after a pause, Su Mo directly began to shift the focus of his conversation.
"Second, I believe that Lord Zhu Ling has already asked Elder Zhu Chuan in detail last time. You should know that we have not only fairy fruits in the Heavenly Court, but also other plants that are helpful to the Tree People."
"We can have these not only because of the great power of our Lord Su Mo, but also because we have some watering and cultivation methods similar to those of the Tree People."
"So, we are willing to reach a strategic agreement with the Tree People."
Speaking of this, Su Mo paused again and cast his eyes over.
Sure enough, on Zhu Ling's face, one can clearly see a trace of extremely interested and forcibly suppressed expression.
"What strategic agreement?"
"You give us a copy of all the seeds and finished products of the plants. If you can cultivate a suitable variant, we will share the future profits equally."
"This is impossible!"
Directly interrupting Su Mo's unfinished words, Zhu Ling forcibly suppressed the rising anger.
"There is no room for negotiation. Plants are the foundation of our tree people. No matter how advanced our alliance is, we will never give you the finished products and seeds."
"Even if Lord Su Mo is here today, there is no room for negotiation!"
Zhu Ling said "no room for negotiation" twice in a row. It was obvious that there was really no way to negotiate this matter, not that the relationship between the two was not good enough.
However, sitting opposite, after hearing this, Su Mo still said calmly:
"Lord Zhu Ling, don't be anxious. Everything has to have a good start, right?"
"In this way, we can start with a few small plants, how about using Hangcao, Dalinghua, Jiguo, and Wanweispore?"
"When we cultivate these four plants, we will talk about the cultivation of other plants at that time?"
Hangcao, a fast-growing herbaceous plant, was the first plant planted by the tree people when they enclosed the land.
It can not only be used as feed for herbivorous animals, but also in dishes. It tastes similar to bitter chrysanthemum. It is not delicious but has a unique flavor.
Dalinghua, a variant of the Malvaceae cotton genus, is a close relative of cotton.
Unlike regular cotton, which will produce rotten seeds and buds once the temperature drops below ten degrees.
Dalinghua can withstand temperatures as low as minus sixty degrees, as high as forty degrees, and some more extreme growth environments.
Because of its tenacious characteristics, it can be seen all over the mountains and plains when it matures, so it is named Dalinghua.
Jiguo, the only plant with a "soul" among the four proposed.
But although it is said to have a soul, its function is very simple.
Jiguo can simulate biological signs and take the initiative to eat the body. If the object is poisonous, Jiguo will automatically separate the poisoned part for early warning.
After proposing these four, Su Mo is very sure that Zhu Ling will agree.
After all, according to the level assessment of the tree people, plants are divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D.
The levels of these four plants are all at the lowest level D, not only with little effect, but also with the lowest trading value.
As long as Zhu Ling had a little bit of brains, he would know that taking out these plants for cooperation would be beneficial to the tree people!
Sure enough, after he finished speaking, Zhu Ling subconsciously wanted to repeat his previous words to refuse, but after reacting, he was stunned and couldn't believe it:
"Are you sure you only want these four?"
"Yes, cooperation is a long process of building mutual trust. Starting with these four, we will let the tree people see the sincerity and strength of the Heavenly Court"
Zhu Ling: "Can you help Lord Su Mo decide?"
"Yes, I have the authority to decide, as long as Lord Zhu Ling is willing!"
Between the question and the answer, Zhu Ling's face was already showing hesitation that was difficult to conceal, but in the end, looking at Su Mo's determined face and expression.
He suddenly picked up the wine bottle on the table and drank it down, then stood up and said continuously: "Okay, since you can decide, then we are willing to give the seeds and finished products of these four plants to you in heaven for free research. , if you can make breakthroughs in these four aspects, we will not take any of the profits and give them all to you."
"Even if these breakthroughs can meet our expectations, more collaborative plant research is not impossible!"
A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest.
The best way to break through a person's psychological defense line is to try to enter through the smallest gap, and then slowly expand the gap after entering.
On the one hand, Zhu Ling hopes that plants can achieve breakthrough mutations, so that the strength of the tree people can be greatly improved, and they will not have to remain in the current embarrassing situation.
On the other hand, he was worried about giving others the authority and leaving the tree people's greatest support in the hands of others.
But at the moment, no matter what Somo gives is a delicious pie or a poison that seals the throat after seeing blood.
As the lord of the ancient tree race, he had to eat everything without any room for resistance!
While continuing to extend the third supplementary cooperation agreement, Sumo also provided some supplementary explanations for the first two cooperation agreements.
He waited until the sun set and dusk arrived before he stood up and stretched out his hand with satisfaction.
"Then it's settled. Lord Zhuling, please hurry up and prepare. Time waits for no one. I have to return to the territory in the evening to resume my life."
Zhu Ling also smiled, stretched out his branch and held it with Sumo: "Well, the botanical garden that I just came over has what you want. In this way, I will have someone take you there, and let him help guide you. The transplantation and cultivation method of plants also allows you to have close contact with other plants."
"As for the specific details of cooperation, according to the agreed time, I will arrange the manpower in place as soon as possible to complete our cooperation before winter comes!"
After finishing speaking, Zhu Ling tapped the ground with another branch.
Zhu Xia, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, walked in in time, and after being whispered to by him for a while, she nodded respectfully.
"Distinguished guests from heaven, please come this way!"
Throughout the whole process, the atmosphere in the room was surprisingly harmonious except for a moment when the two were tit-for-tat when the second point was raised.
It was as if the two had not met for the first time, but had truly been allies for a long time.
Seeing this scene, Sun Di and the four others were amazed, and they felt that they were indeed capable of operating in other people's territory.
But after walking outside the door and completely disappearing from Zhu Ling's sight, only Sumo knew that his back had been completely soaked.
"Zhu Ling is indeed an old fox. I'm afraid this is one of the baits he planted."
"I wanted to see if I really had no intention, and I deliberately used this trick to test. Unfortunately, my goal is not here at all!"
Following Zhu Xia's footsteps, Su Mo thought to himself, with a hint of thought on his face.
Although Zhu Ling is a bit silly and has fallen into many designed traps, it does not mean that his IQ is really just a decoration and can only be seen but not used.
As early as the second item proposed that only four D-class plants were needed, he had already begun to give secret guidance and used other methods to signal that the guards in the botanical garden were lax.
Even at the end, he told everyone in an almost explicit way:
There are many opportunities for you to "shoplift" in the botanical garden, so hurry up!
Knowing that humans have storage space, such a hint would most likely be taken by someone else.
But for now.
After following the tree man Zhu Xia and continuing back to the botanical garden along the original path, Somo looked at his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose. He was like the old monk who was in trance the whole time and didn't look anywhere else.
When the other villagers who were still about to make a move saw him like this, they quickly followed him in a dignified manner.
Today's botanical gardens look unguarded, with all kinds of plants happily enjoying the sun inside.
But in fact, vaguely, relying on his sixth sense, Somo could feel that there were several eyes looking at everyone, and it felt like everyone would immediately swarm him if they made any move.
"The next step is free time. All distinguished guests have ten minutes to visit the botanical garden."
"I'm going to help pack the plants. I'll meet you at the door later!"
After introducing the four plants and looking at the five honest people thoughtfully, Zhu Xia slowly moved her body and disappeared from sight.
The huge botanical garden also became deserted at this moment.
With the sun setting in the west, looking around, it feels like we have landed on an alien planet.
"Director, what should I do? Do you want to take action?"
After carefully glancing around to make sure no one was around, Sun Di stepped forward in two steps.
The other three villagers also heard the words and stepped forward quickly, surrounding Somo directly in the middle.
"The plan has changed. According to plan C, Sun Di is responsible for attracting firepower, and the others are responsible for covering."
"Then it will still be the old plan. If you delay, you have to delay it for twenty minutes."
Feeling the gaze that was still like a gangrene attached to the bones, Soma spoke in a low voice and gave quick instructions.
With the others nodding, and without waiting for Zhu Xia's ten minutes to expire, the group of people walked directly to the door.
Throughout the whole process, until everyone arrived at the door, there were only two less monitoring eyes, leaving only one.
"Hey, you're not visiting anymore?"
Su Mo waved his hand: "No, no, this is the first time we come to Qianshu King City. We still want to take some time to go to the city outside to take a look and appreciate the customs and customs of the tree people. Let's not waste time here!"
Zhu Xia smiled and said: "Oh? That's fine. The things are not packed yet. I will take you to the city first!"
Fifteen minutes passed.
As everyone walked out of the inner city, the surveillance finally disappeared.
But it was at this moment that Su Mo covered his stomach and looked at the streets around him where people were still coming and going. He said: "Ouch, my stomach hurts so much, Elder Zhu Xia, I wonder if there is a convenient place in the outer city."
Zhu Xia was confused: "Convenient place?"
"Uh, as the saying goes, people have three urgent needs. The food at noon today was too rich. I ate a lot. I didn't expect that my stomach would not be able to keep up. Oh, it hurts so much."
Holding his stomach, Su Mo simply sat down on the ground with his buttocks, mixed with his miserable howling, and attracted the attention of the surrounding tree people in a very short time.
Seeing more and more tree people gathered around, Zhu Xia finally figured out why, and hurriedly said:
"Quick, quick, just say you want to go to the toilet, why are you so polite?"
"Come on, you hold him, I'll take you there!"
Walking in front, Zhu Xia kept walking, and the other tree people didn't dare to follow him after he shouted.
After walking for about four or five minutes, they came to a slightly remote street. Zhu Xia took two steps forward and directly opened the back door of one of the shops.
"This is my shop in the city. Yes, go to that place, you can make do with it for now!"
The place where Zhu Xia pointed was a small house inside the garden for storing tools.
It was a bit similar to the dry toilets in rural areas on Earth. The small house was above the waist, with a long gap, and people standing outside could clearly see inside.
As if afraid of Su Mo's embarrassment, Zhu Xia immediately waved his hand, dispersed all the warning vines surrounding the garden, and turned his head to indicate that he would never peek.
"Sorry to bother Elder Zhu Xia!"
He rushed forward eagerly, and "accidentally" stepped on the warning vine on the way. After confirming that this thing had temporarily failed, Su Mo was secretly happy and ran to the toilet!
The next moment, as Su Mo squatted down, the palm-sized adventurer terminal automatically slipped out of his trouser pocket and fell into his hand.
"Do you want to start the holographic bait projection module?"
"Start!"
Quickly click on the app, and after confirming that various camouflage information has been collected, the silver-white terminal began to deform automatically, and finally fell to the ground and emitted a faint blue light.
In just a few breaths, the same figure appeared again at the place where Su Mo squatted.
"Sorry to bother you!"
"Leave it to me!"
The holographic bait with some artificial intelligence can imitate the user's posture and execute some simple commands as long as the user's information is fully entered.
As long as you don't get close and really touch it with your hand, no one can be sure that this thing is fake from a distance!
Everything was ready. After carefully sticking his head out to confirm the "escape" route, Su Mo's eyes condensed, and his muscles instantly tightened and exploded, and he rushed out of the house like a cheetah.
Wow!
Wow!
Under the full burst of the peak of the fifth level, due to the unique mechanism of the human body, at this moment, the speed reflected in Su Mo was not inferior to that of the sixth level at all, reaching about 100 meters in 5 seconds!
Zhu Xia just heard the sound of wind and heavy footsteps, and his figure had already crossed the wall and came to the other side of the street in the blind spot of vision.
"Hey, what's the sound?"
Zhu Xia turned his head in confusion and looked in the direction of the sound.
But as far as the field of vision reached, in addition to the flowers, plants and trees growing everywhere, he could only see Su Mo, who was still squatting in the "pit" with a constipated look on his face.
"Did I hear wrong?"
Looking at Su Mo's painful expression, and thinking that he had arranged lunch, Zhu Xia quickly shrank his head and put his eyes back on the street, looking at Sun Di and the other four around him with a curious look.
"Hey, don't run around, not everyone in Qianshu King City has such a good character as us"
"Look, if you meet this kind of tree man with thorns in the city in the future, you have to go around it, this kind of tree man has the worst temper!"
After using the branches to pull Sun Di and the other four back to his side, Zhu Xia looked at the thorn tree man who was slowly leaving, and a trace of fear appeared in his eyes.
As fifth-level tree men, if they don't fight for their lives, the companion plants will determine the strength.
The tree man with a thousand thorns that has mutated from the warning vine, which is gradually moving away in the distance, is one of the best. It is difficult for ordinary fifth-level three to be its opponent.
"Ah? Is this Mr. Thorn also very strong among the tree people?"
Looking at the cautious Zhu Xia with a strange face, after getting the other party's affirmative nod, Sun Di and the other four looked at each other, all a little stunned.
Before executing Plan C, even though they knew the complete steps of the plan, they still had some doubts about whether Su Mo could successfully infiltrate and execute the subsequent tasks.
But now, after getting Zhu Xia's personal verification, when they thought that their director had such "strength" in the other party's territory
The four people immediately rushed to Zhu Xia:
"Elder Zhu Xia, what is the cultivation method of Jiguo? I don't seem to remember it clearly!"
"Elder, we have the Wanwei Spore"
