#968 - Chapter 968: Stop Cheating Me

"Enter the Iron Mountain Small World? When did this happen?" Dongfang Chen Er pretended to know nothing.

"The day before yesterday." Gui Guzi glanced at him, but still cooperated in answering.

"Is that so?" Dongfang Chen Er looked at Nata.

"I don't know, I've been here these past few days and haven't gone out." Nata spread his hands, indicating he didn't know.

"You see, Mr. Gui Gu, we really don't know. Could there be some misunderstanding?" Dongfang Chen Er asked.

Gui Guzi glanced at Mongka and sneered:

"Heh heh, so be it. Since that's the case, there's no need for cooperation between us!"

After saying that, he turned to leave.

"Hey, hey, hey, Mr. Gui Gu, don't be in such a hurry to leave! Let's not talk about cooperation for now, but since you've come to question us, you should at least let me understand what's going on, right?" Dongfang Chen Er quickly stopped him.

"Immediately stop the cleanup of the Iron Mountain Small World and release the Silicon-Based Octopus. This is the prerequisite for us to continue cooperating." Gui Guzi didn't waste words and sternly stated his demands.

It seemed like he was really anxious.

"I really didn't capture the Silicon-Based Octopus!" Dongfang Chen Er put on a very innocent expression.

The reason he did this was partly to test Gui Guzi's bottom line and partly to figure out if Gui Guzi could detect what was happening inside the small world.

Because the battle with the Silicon-Based Octopus took place inside the small world.

And the Silicon-Based Octopus's small world had been moved to the small world managed by Mongka.

So, if Gui Guzi couldn't detect the small world, he would at most know that the Iron Mountain Small World had been taken into his small world, but he wouldn't know the details of the battle with the Silicon-Based Octopus. Of course, he wouldn't know about the conversation between Dongfang Chen Er and the other two in this small world.

Conversely, if Gui Guzi knew everything about these things, then he could most likely detect the small world.

In that case, even posting tasks in the small world wouldn't be safe.

"What, do you think that just because I can't detect the small world, I can't know your little thoughts?" Gui Guzi seemed to see through his intentions.

"Little thoughts? You've misunderstood me. I don't like playing little tricks." Dongfang Chen Er didn't admit it.

Their conversation was a mix of truth and lies.

Whoever revealed their hand first would lose.

"I ask you, was the Iron Mountain Small World taken away by you?" Gui Guzi asked.

"That's right. But I can explain this." Dongfang Chen Er had to admit this point.

The process of taking the small world had to be completed in the real world, so this couldn't be hidden.

"No need. Since you took the small world, who else could have captured the Silicon-Based Octopus if not you?" Gui Guzi's words didn't reveal how he knew.

Since Gui Guzi didn't say, then he would take the initiative to ask.

"How is that possible? Are you really sure the Silicon-Based Octopus was captured?" Dongfang Chen Er pretended not to believe it, but was actually trying to get information.

"Naturally certain." Gui Guzi replied simply.

"Could you have seen wrong?" Dongfang Chen Er further "pressed" him.

"I personally went in to investigate, could it be fake?" Gui Guzi replied.

This sentence revealed important information: he personally went in.

This meant that he didn't obtain the results from outside exploration.

But this answer couldn't directly dispel Dongfang Chen Er's concerns.

Because this Gui Guzi might be lying.

He looked at Mongka beside him.

"Don't look at me, I don't know." Mongka knew what he meant and waved his hand, indicating he didn't know.

Dongfang Chen Er looked at the Mongka behind Gui Guzi again.

This Mongka came from the Black Death Star base and might know if Gui Guzi had really gone in to investigate.

"I don't know either." This Mongka also waved his hand.

"Mr. Gui Gu, stop trying to trick me. If I hadn't deployed a large number of subspace sentry towers in the small world, I would have believed you." Dongfang Chen Er continued to deny it stubbornly, not getting the results he wanted.

"Heh heh, cunning!" Gui Guzi was amused and pointed at him.

He wasn't saying that Dongfang Chen Er was cunning for deploying sentry towers, but that he was cunning for pretending to be innocent to probe his bottom line.

"Why do you say that, Mr. Gui Gu?" Dongfang Chen Er asked, fluttering his big eyes.

"So be it, since you're so curious, then I'll tell you, in fact, the Transformers were created by me," Gui Guzi said.

"Ah?" Nata and Mongka were both stunned when they heard this.

"What do you mean you created them?" Dongfang Chen Er asked.

"It's obvious, they're not living beings, just robots," Gui Guzi replied.

"Robots? Robots with the ability to evolve?" Dongfang Chen Er was a little skeptical.
