Weirdness is coming: Chen Mu Nugui started with trillions of ghost coins

Chapter 1394 A Kind Reminder

Chen Mu continued, "Will you only name a price after you've shown my sincerity?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xingyu quickly explained, "Mr. Chen, please don't misunderstand. That's absolutely not what we meant."

As for the Lake of Fallen Gods, they were also forced by circumstances and truly had nothing left to offer.

We shared part of the results from the previous irrigation with you, Mr. Chen, and the other part was used for revival purposes.

So right now we have almost nothing to offer, we really have nothing to give up.

The effects of this irrigation are uncertain.

This is not due to your influence, Mr. Chen, but rather the inherent uncertainty of the Lake of Fallen Gods.

Even we don't know what the effect will be after this irrigation.

Therefore, the return we will give you can only be determined after this irrigation. So it's definitely not a free lunch; we simply don't have any stock on hand.

It's not a veiled threat, because Mr. Chen has always done his best. This uncertainty is on our side.

Zhao Xingyu spoke very sincerely, his words filled with heartfelt sincerity.

Chen Mu didn't notice anything unusual from Zhao Xingyu's expression.

No matter how nicely he spoke, he couldn't hide the truth that Chen Mu had said.

In reality, the other party would only pay after the irrigation was completed.

Moreover, there is no coercive force to guarantee that the revived Lake of Fallen Gods will definitely stand on Chen Mu's side.

However, the current details all suggest to Chen Mu that the Lake of Fallen Gods seems to be on the side of allies.

For example, Zhao Xingyu clearly told Chen Mu that this was the last irrigation.

Logically speaking, if the Lake of Fallen Gods is an enemy trying to trick Chen Mu into reviving it, then...

Therefore, it shouldn't tell Chen Mu that this is the last time, but should pretend it's just a normal one to avoid making Chen Mu suspicious.

Zhao Xingyu also mentioned the probability of recovery, the irrigation effect, and so on.

In addition to previous assessments and understanding of Zhao Xingyu's character...

Overall, Chen Mu felt there was an 80% chance they were in the friendly camp.

But with a 20% chance, would you dare to gamble? Is it worth the gamble?

What Chen Mu was considering was whether it was worth it.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Mu finally decided that when the situation was unclear, the best strategy was to "delay"!

Regardless, I'll wait until I've conquered the next eerie scene, collected all the Hell Fragments, and gained some leverage before dealing with the Lake of Fallen Gods.

It can even be used as a bargaining chip, so that when I enter the tenth mysterious gate, I can use it to make the Lake of Fallen Gods protect Wangjiang Watch when I am not there.

After all, regardless of whether the Lake of Fallen Gods is friend or foe, it is definitely Chen Mu's friend before it is fully restored.

"Is there a time requirement for the last irrigation over there?" Chen Mu asked. "For example, if the irrigation is delayed beyond a certain time, it will be ineffective."

Zhao Xingyu shook his head. "There's no time limit, but given the current situation, the sooner the better! The sooner the better!"

Zhao Xingyu was an honest man; he didn't argue with Chen Mu anymore and went straight to the point, emphasizing twice that the sooner the better.

Since there is no deadline, it means that the Lake of Fallen Gods will not be a fight to the death.

I was worried that the Lake of Fallen Gods would go all out at the last minute, but it seems there's no need to worry now.

With this understanding, Chen Mu gained the upper hand.

Zhao Xingyu, sent by the Lake of Fallen Gods to negotiate, was ultimately too inexperienced. He couldn't outsmart Chen Mu and was completely outmaneuvered by him.

Chen Mu frowned, pretending to be struggling with the decision-making process.

A moment later, Chen Mu looked up, gritted his teeth, and said:

"Last time, in order to prepare pure and strange energy for you, my Wangjiang Guardian was almost completely drained."

Chief Zhao, you should know this as well.

And less than a month had passed since then.

To be honest, we haven't recovered at all, and it's simply impossible for us to raise that much money in a short period of time.

So, please give us a few days. I'll have Xu Yueji take immediate action.

I will let you know once the funds have been raised sufficiently.

After receiving Chen Mu's reply, Zhao Xingyu did not press Chen Mu any further.

He didn't expect to convince Chen Mu in one go. He had made many trips back and forth for the previous irrigations and had also contributed to the "floods from all directions".

I didn't bring anything with me this time, and I can only distribute the rewards after the irrigation is completed.

Making a few more trips was entirely within Chief Zhao's expectations.

"Then I'll have to trouble Mr. Chen to take good care of things," Zhao Xingyu said gratefully.

After saying this, Zhao Xingyu lowered his voice and whispered:

"Mr. Chen, I'd also like to remind you that you should take some time to reorganize your military equipment during this period."

"Take some time to organize military equipment?" Chen Mu was taken aback. He didn't know why Zhao Xingyu would suddenly bring this up.

Zhao Xingyu's expression was somewhat serious as he said, "I am also aware of your power, Mr. Chen. It is indeed a large and powerful enterprise, with each department being very strong."

However, from an outsider's perspective, I would still like to offer you a reminder.

In the past two years, Wangjiang Shouwang has actually experienced a kind of brutal expansion.

This rapid development phase is common in the early stages of many organizations and is perfectly normal.

However, by now, the Wangjiang Watchhouse has too many departments.

The violent departments alone include the court, the puppet army, the beast cavalry, the giant cannon of Wangjiang City... and a whole host of others.

The relationships between the leaders of these departments and between the departments themselves are not apparent in normal times, but they are potential hidden dangers that need to be clarified as soon as possible.

Only when rights and responsibilities are commensurate and responsibilities are clearly defined can the fighting capacity of each department be stimulated.

Especially in the current situation, if a major crisis were to break out, interdepartmental coordination and cooperation would become particularly important.

I'm just offering a friendly reminder; whether or not to do it, and how to do it, is up to you, Mr. Chen, to decide. I won't interfere.

Hearing Zhao Xingyu's kind reminder, Chen Mu took a sip of his drink and couldn't help but think.

Zhao Xingyu's words were all hinting to Chen Mu that a major crisis was about to unfold.

Zhao Xingyu's suggestion was also aimed at this unknown crisis.

He suggested that Chen Mu reorganize the military equipment and clarify the various combat forces of Wangjiang Guard.

Only when all departments have clearly defined responsibilities and cooperate fully can the full potential of the Wangjiang Watchtower be realized.

Chen Mu agreed, saying that even if it wasn't for crisis management, streamlining internal departments was extremely important.

Due to the rampant and unchecked growth of Wangjiang Shouwang, Chen Mu has now become unable to distinguish between some departments.

"Thank you very much, Chief Zhao. That was indeed the right thing to do," Chen Mu said gratefully.

"It's alright, we're all in the same boat, we'll get through this crisis together. We're all in this together," Zhao Xingyu said.

Zhao Xingyu's words were also a signal to Chen Mu once again—the Lake of Fallen Gods stands with you.

Constantly sending signals is also to prevent Chen Mu from making strategic misjudgments.
