Chapter 1405 Unprecedented sobriety!
"That's a pretty straightforward answer..."
Shi Bashi twitched the corners of his mouth, and the smile on his face faded a little:
"But I have to be frank. Don't underestimate this mission. If you fail to complete it, you will be severely punished!"
"At that time, you might feel that death is a relief."
There was no way the fox man Smir could keep up with Shi Bashi's train of thought.
Thinking that the other party was trying to intimidate him, he quickly responded again:
"Yes! Promise to complete the mission!"
"but……"
Hearing Smil's change of tone, Shi Bashi was delighted, thinking that this guy had finally come to his senses.
Just as he was about to imitate Song Siming, he cleared his throat and started pretending to be cool.
But I heard another irrelevant question in my ear:
"...As a mere slave owner, I'm not even qualified to mobilize the group's mercenaries. I'm afraid I'm powerless to create obstacles for Xu Xiao to liberate the Palu Star Belt."
"Master, would you mind giving me some military power?"
Shi Bashi “…”
Give you military power?
If I give you military power, you, a mere slave owner, can defeat that stupid Chosen One?
Are you kidding me?!
Even if you could mobilize the entire slave group's mercenaries, you might not be a match for the Chosen One!
"How many mercenaries do you want to mobilize?" Shi Bashi suppressed his dissatisfaction and said calmly:
"How many mercenaries are needed to complete this small mission?"
Smil rolled his eyes and immediately gave an answer that made Shi Bashi even more confused:
"Eight hundred."
"If I could mobilize eight hundred mercenaries at will, I would definitely be able to cause considerable trouble to the Chosen One!"
"Eight hundred?" Shi Bashi sneered.
"How long can you rely on these group mercenaries to stop Xu Xiao?"
"If it can only hold out for seven or eight days, it's better not to speak at all."
"How long does the Colonial Master want me to hold him off?" Smil bravely asked.
"Six months, at least three thousand cosmic hours." Shi Bashi directly relayed the requirements Song Siming had given him:
"I'll give you another four thousand and two, to make it five thousand."
"Can it be done?"
"It's just to stop Xu Xiao from liberating the Palu Belt, right?" Smil asked again:
"No other requests?"
"Can you still kill her?" Shi Bashi's face showed even more mockery.
Perhaps because his desire to show off was not satisfied, after saying this, he immediately followed it up with:
"If you can kill Xu Xiao, you will be the one sitting under me."
"Uh, haha..." Smil saw the dissatisfaction on Shi Bashi's face and smiled awkwardly.
Then he promised:
"Killing the Chosen One is definitely impossible, but with 5,000 mercenaries, stopping her from liberating the Palu Star Belt shouldn't be a problem."
When Shi Bashi saw that Smil had really accepted the task, his desire to have fun completely disappeared:
"You should know the consequences of bragging."
"I know." The fox man Smir seemed to have been completely certain at this moment, and responded confidently:
"If I, with only 5,000 mercenaries, cannot stop Xu Xiao from liberating the Palu Belt, I will die as an apology without the Colonial Lord's intervention!"
The other end.
Star-catching tower.
"Taowu, are you crazy? The Star-Picking Tower has only just arrived in the Palu star belt, and you're moving again already?"
"Although the star we captured is young, the damage caused by two long-distance voyages in such a short period of time is irreversible!"
"If something goes wrong and the star turns into a white dwarf prematurely, the entire Star Picking Tower will lose its power source."
"How do you find alternatives in a remote area like Earth?"
Taotie spoke rapidly, danced with his hands, and was very excited.
Taowu just leaned quietly in the chair, tapping the mask on his face with his bandaged index finger, making a sound that was neither light nor heavy.
The tall and thin Qiongqi stood between the two of them, obviously trying to persuade them.
But after racking my brains for a while, I found that I also felt that Taotie was right.
He could only stand there awkwardly, paying attention to Taowu's emotions all the time. Fortunately, he stopped him before he went crazy.
However, it was not Taowu who went berserk.
Instead, it was the Taotie who was dancing all the time.
"Would you please stop knocking on that mask of yours, look me in the eyes, and answer me!"
The roar, tinged with murderous intent, continued to echo in the rather spacious room.
Taowu finally stopped tapping the mask with his fingers.
Then, he clenched his fists and began to tap the table beside him rhythmically.
Taotie, who was almost furious, exploded on the spot, pulled out a long-handled copper hammer, and was about to smash it on the mask decorated with fangs.
"Hey hey hey, Taotie, what are you doing? Calm down!"
Fortunately, Qiongqi was quick-witted and stopped the man in time, thus avoiding a fight.
"Taowu, after your trip to Earth, you suddenly decided to move the Star-Picking Tower again. That was indeed a bit hasty."
"It's fine for Taotie and I to cooperate with you, but can you at least explain the reason to us?"
"Otherwise, if we are so confused, there might be a big problem!"
"That's true..." Taowu suddenly raised his head and looked at Qiongqi intently:
"It seems you still don't trust my intuition?"
"Intuition, intuition! You always rely on your intuition!" Before Qiongqi could react, Taotie couldn't help but say:
"Yes, your intuition is pretty accurate most of the time, but there are times when it goes wrong, right?"
"The closer we get to the end, the more weird your behavior becomes!"
"I now reasonably suspect that you have lost your mind and are messing with the hard work we have put into our business over the years!"
"Unconscious? Haha..." Upon hearing this, Taowu suddenly chuckled.
The clenched fists no longer pounded the table.
Instead, it slowly stretched towards his face.
At the same time, black flames ignited from Taowu's body surface, and in the silent burning, they emitted bursts of pungent burnt smell.
The mask decorated with ferocious fangs was slowly removed, revealing the scarred and ugly face underneath.
"I am sober, more sober than ever before!"
"You don't think that when I set up the interference formation in Zhaixing Tower earlier, I really confused the Fate Abyss Battlefield awakened in the Palu cat-man with that stinky bitch, do you?"
Taotie was startled and subconsciously asked:
"Is not it?"
"Of course not, that's just an excuse." Taowu grinned with his broken mouth.
Blood oozed out of the wound and quickly coagulated under the burning flames, forming a black scab.
Then it carbonized and shattered, exposing new wounds and spurting blood again.
It goes on and on, constantly creating pain.
"If I don't do this, how can I naturally establish a relationship with the Earth?"
"If I don't let the Earth side know that my target is that Paloo cat-person named Alyssa, how can I make them let down their guard and reveal the thing I really want?"
