Chapter 288 Lao Deng, the honorific title of the God of War

"..."

Zheng Yu and Mark looked at each other speechlessly.

After a long time, Mark held down the wrench in Zheng Yu's hand and said, "Don't be impulsive. You forgot. You just told me that you would cooperate."

"Besides, I have already told you that you have a problem, but I haven't told anyone about it. This is enough to represent my sincerity."

"Besides, I am very intolerant of temptation."

"If you take that spicy and delicious dish you don't know what it's called and try to corrupt me again, I will definitely keep it secret."

"..."

Zheng Yu took back the wrench.

"You actually know my identity already?"

Mark immediately shook his head: "No, it's just suspicion. After all, people as ignorant as you are still very rare."

"Like you, I'm very surprised by the other person's identity. You have doubted a skeletal creature like me because your world doesn't have such high-end technology as mine."

"As for me, when you asked me the first question and you didn't know that it is forbidden to study history in this world, I had some doubts."

"The reason why I don't say it is..."

Mark hesitated.

Zheng Yu said: "Whatever you say, we have already shown our cards to this point. It will not be a good thing for you and me to hide it anymore."

Mark smiled and said: "I'm worried... that when you know that I am not a human being, you will treat me like an object and ignore my thoughts like those people."

"I would rather follow you as a human."

"Because... I'm very curious, what do you want to do, and what is the purpose of coming to our world?"

Mark spoke very slowly, and every time he said a word, he would look at Zheng Yu's expression.

"Then why do you dare to tell the truth to me now?"

"It's not just because of the wrench in my hand, is it?"

Mark looked at the swordsman-looking villain standing on Zheng Yu's shoulder. He looked like a Q version, but he was observing the surroundings seriously, like a sentry on Zheng Yu's shoulder.

"because of them."

"They are neither human."

"Not your slave either."

"I can feel the bond between you. They trust you and you are responsible for them."

Zheng Yu said with a complicated expression: "You don't think I'm a kind person, do you?"

Mark shook his head, "Actually, the most important point is...except for my former master, no one has ever stood in my position and negotiated with me."

"I...after all, I'm just a...thing made of skeleton technology."

"I just felt like a human being for the first time."

Mark lowered his head, then raised his head, and asked Zheng Yu with a hint of confusion in his eyes, "What do you think... is a person?"

"Forehead……"

Zheng Yu was speechless for a long time.

He has indeed never thought about this problem. Who would think about this problem?

"Tsk, it seems you don't know either."

"That's right. After all, you are not a human race. I can't tell you what race you are?"

Zheng Yu: "..."

Good guy, I was expelled for the first time.

"There's no point in talking about this anymore." Mark took the initiative to change the topic. He was more curious about Zheng Yu's future plans, "By the way, didn't you just say you wanted to blow up this city? Why are you acting as a smuggler again?"

Zheng Yu explained: "The reason for inciting the war in this city is to verify some things and get some benefits."

"The purpose of smuggling the resources of this foundry is to accumulate Crow coins faster."

Mark thought deeply and said, "Then you can only choose one."

"Either incite war or make money, because once a war breaks out, it is impossible for us to profit from it."

Zheng Yu smiled and said, "Only an old man like you can make choices."

"We young people choose to have it all."

"..."

Mark originally wanted to dissuade Zheng Yu because it was too dangerous, but when he thought about what they were going to do, it seemed that what they were going to do was no simpler than war, so there was no reason to dissuade Zheng Yu.

He was only interested in one thing, "Old... what does Deng mean?"

Zheng Yu said casually: "The honorific title of a war god in our world."

"Oh~"

A satisfied smile appeared on Mark's lips, and he was obviously honored that Zheng Yu could use Lao Deng to describe him.

After all, he knew the word God of War, and he was designated to be a big shot.

It is an honor to be ranked among the big shots.

…

The wealthy area of ​​Sand City.

The highest office.

The skeleton warrior carrying the cannon barrel on his right shoulder came to the door of the office.

Dang Dang Dang!

"Enter."

A deep and powerful voice came from inside the door.

"Report, I have something very important to report to you."

Hudson put down the pen in his hand and looked at the guard captain of Sand City, "Has the riot outside the city been resolved?"

The gun barrel skeleton warrior immediately said: "The guards have been replaced and the patrols have been asked to explore a hundred kilometers away. No enemy has been found. It is estimated that they have evacuated."

"Um."

Hudson nodded, and then asked: "Tell me, something important."

The Skeleton Warrior took out a photo and placed it on Henderson's desk, "It was discovered that a suspected high-ranking member of the empire appeared in Sand City."

In the photo, it is Zheng Yu!

"Did he identify himself?"

"No."

"Then how do you judge that the other party is an upper echelon of the empire?"

The skeleton warrior pointed to Mark, who was also photographed in the photo, "Second generation Mark type skeleton technology."

Henderson nodded, "That's right. This kind of high-end humanoid skeleton technology that has been restricted in production and out of print is not something that ordinary people can get."

Hudson looked at Mark with envy. He also wanted a skeleton butler worth tens of millions of Krona.

He pointed at Zheng Yu in the photo and asked, "Tell me, what is his purpose here?"

The cannon skeleton warrior rolled his eyes and said to Henderson, "I'm very smart. I would venture to guess that this high-ranking official from the empire is here to inspect."

"It should be that our Sand City's income accounts in recent years have not been good, and the empire has become suspicious."

"Um……"

Hudson rubbed his chin and nodded slowly, "What you said makes sense..."

"and……"

The gun barrel skeleton warrior hesitated to speak.

"Stop whining," Henderson scolded.

The skeleton warrior then said: "I think that the attack by the unknown creature outside just now was probably caused by this empire's upper echelon."

The captain of the escort named "Digi" made a bold and rigorous guess.

…
