Chapter 214: Their respective speculations

Standing on the cliff outside Mingdu, Su Yu looked at Mingdu and said slowly: "In fact, my father originally wanted to settle in the Sun Moon Empire and become a citizen of the Sun Moon Empire. Dong'er, do you know why?"

"It should be related to my aunt." Wang Dong'er didn't want to mention family matters in front of Su Yu. After all, some time ago, a large number of members of the Su family died at the hands of the Holy Spirit Church, including Su Yu's parents.

"You're still calling me auntie? You should call me mom." Su Yu scratched Wang Dong'er's nose lovingly. "A few years ago, when I came to the Sun Moon Empire from Shrek Academy, I knew that the future era's dominance was destined not to be in Shrek. In the more than two years of studying here, this is the place I come to the most. Because here, I can see the whole picture of Mingdu."

Mingdu, like a city that never sleeps, exudes a charm that is different from this world.

Mingdu is a magical place. Su Yu is often reminded of Blue Star. In this world full of soul power, there is also a technological Sun-Moon Empire. Its existence is like a bug. Rather than a bug, it is more like a technology left over from another time and space.

Thinking of this, Su Yu couldn't help but think of another possibility. Who was the first to create the Sun-Moon Empire, or the soul guide?

"Are you still brooding over the affairs of the Xingluo Empire?" Wang Dong'er asked, standing beside him.

Su Yu didn't say much. He gently reached out and touched Wang Dong'er's head, and said, "Let everything go. You will understand in the future. But, Dong'er, have you ever thought about our future?"

"Our future?" Wang Dong'er was a little confused. She didn't know where her future would lie.

Now her memory has not been fully awakened. The only thing she knows is that she does not belong to Douluo Continent. When Mu Lao left, he told Wang Donger that he had told the higher-ups about her. Shrek has the golden ancient tree, and Moon can also use the light of the sea god. What this means is self-evident.

"Yes, our future..."

The future, our future, where is it?

"What do you want to do? We didn't invite your Sun and Moon team, so please leave." Beibei tried his best to control his tone and not be so blunt. At that moment, the game hadn't started yet, so it was not appropriate to have a conflict with them.

Luo Yu did not say a word. He sat quietly in the elegant seat arranged in the lobby of Mingyue Hotel, savoring the fine wine brought to him by the lobby manager.

"Captain Beibei, please don't misunderstand. We are not here to pick a fight. We just think that today's game is too boring, so we want to ask you for advice. After all, our seniors lost to you last time. Our seniors also told us that you are strong enough and have a talented captain Su Yu who is both wise and brave. So, this time, we want to compete with you." Jing Peng said in a calm voice with a serious expression.

Xu Sanshi came over upon hearing the noise and said, "Are you really here to spar? Are you from the Sun Moon Empire really that kind?"

"No, no, no, handsome man, please don't misunderstand. As the new Sun and Moon Team, we also hope to see the strength of the previous champion team. So this time, we come here with sincerity. If this handsome man thinks we are not sincere, we can pay a price as a gift for this competition." Yan Lingshu looked at Xu Sanshi with a smile and explained politely.

Xu Sanshi was stunned by Yan Lingshu's call of "handsome guy" and his eyes widened immediately.

"You guys..." Before Jiang Nannan could speak, she was interrupted.

Huo Yuhao walked out of the room, looked at Yan Lingshu and said, "Does what you said mean what your captain meant?"

"The captain doesn't care about these things. I can make all the decisions on his behalf. If you don't believe it, you can go and verify it with our captain in person. Our captain Luo Yu is right there." Rachel was moved when she heard that Huo Yuhao was interested, and then she squeezed over and proceeded according to Luo Yu's previous plan.

Bei Bei looked around at everyone and slowly said, "I can't make the decision on this matter, so please let us discuss it first."

"Okay, we'll wait for your reply in the private room. By the way, if you think the price we offer is not sincere, I have a list here. I hope you can take a look at it. It won't be too late to make a decision after you have read the list." Lu Jiuyu took out a list from the storage soul guide and handed it over.

Huo Yuhao took the list and said, "We will consider this matter."

Afterwards, everyone from the Tang Sect retreated back to Huo Yuhao's room.

After some arrangement, the room was completely isolated from all outside perception.

Back in the private room, Lu Jiuyu, Yan Lingshu, Sheng Hongyun, Fang Wei, Rachel, Jing Peng and their captain Luo Yu, seven people gathered in the private room. Luo Yu waved his hand and said, "You can leave. You know the rules."

The messengers around nodded and then left the private room. The entire private room was completely isolated from the outside world. Only two waitresses in work clothes were standing on both sides of the door.

"Captain, do you think they will really agree to it? Isn't that list a bit shabby? I feel this matter is a little uncertain." Fang Wei looked at Luo Yu with some concern.

Yan Lingshu continued, "Captain, I think you may have miscalculated this time. Although some of those metals are indeed rare metals, they also have people who understand soul guides. He Caitou is one of them. He once studied abroad in our Sun Moon Royal Soul Guide Academy for more than two years. He must understand the list."

Luo Yu looked at Jing Peng and said, "Jing Peng, please don't be silent. Let's gather our collective wisdom and share our opinions. You can also say a few words."

After being called by Luo Yu, Jing Peng finally said, "I agree with Fang Wei's idea."

"Gone?" Luo Yu frowned.

"No more." Jing Peng answered very honestly.

Luo Yu looked at the other person again and said, "Rachel, you go ahead and talk."

"Captain, you said it. Don't blame me if I'm wrong." As he spoke, a curve began to appear at the corners of Rachel's mouth, which made people feel that his next words would be a little ominous.

Luo Yu nodded and said, "Go ahead, let me hear your opinion and see how your ideas differ from theirs."

"Then let me tell you, judging from the current situation, those guys from the Tang Clan won't agree, because to be fair, the price we offered is indeed a bit low. However, we started by keeping a low profile and didn't force them aggressively, so even if they don't agree, we still have room to maneuver." Having said this, Rachel had no more to say, and just looked at Lu Jiuyu with a sly smile.

Lu Jiuyu was looked at by Rachel, and shook his head helplessly, saying, "Rachel, I know you have bad intentions, but since you want me to say it, then I will add something. First of all, you may not know the extent of the captain's investigation into the details of those people in the Tang Sect. The three major empires have long been restricted from trading rare metals by the Sun-Moon Empire. In the list given by the captain, almost the vast majority of metals are metals unique to the Sun-Moon Empire, and these metals are controlled by the empire. Since the three major empires were restricted from trading metals, the circulation of these metals has been greatly reduced."

"Of course, the captain's plan is not just this. From the perspective of interests, if we offer a price that satisfies them right from the start, they will think that we are not confident enough and need to urgently verify their strength, thus being slaughtered by them. I even guarantee that they will deliberately show weakness in subsequent competitions to make us underestimate the enemy." Lu Jiuyu stopped talking here.

"What you mean is that the price our captain is offering now just hits their bottom line, so no matter what happens next, they will not refuse. They will only ask us to increase the price so as to maximize their benefits, right?" Fang Wei followed closely and expressed his own guess.

Luo Yu nodded. "Smart, but I guarantee that they won't agree. Instead, they will ask for an exorbitant amount of money to put pressure on us. Rachel, I know you have guessed my plan. Tell me."

Luo Yu was too lazy to continue explaining. It would be better to leave the explanation to the right person. The most he could do was correct their mistakes.

Rachel's past was exposed, but she didn't dare to refute it. She could only smile awkwardly and said, "In fact, the captain's plan is not that complicated. At most, it is a strategy of playing hard to get. Those guys from the Tang Sect naturally know that we understand their weaknesses, and they also think that we have them in their hands. So they will continue to raise the price to maximize their interests. However, the captain said before that no matter whether the other party agrees or not, once the other party's price exceeds more than 50% of the list we gave at the beginning, we will look for another team."

"Why should we give up? Are we really going to give up this opportunity just for those rare metals that are not much for us? If so, won't we be the ones who suffer?" Jing Peng was a little puzzled and still didn't understand what Rachel meant.

Lu Jiuyu said at this time: "Jing Peng's idea is actually the same as many people. Once we show our desire to compete, we will lose the initiative. Once we lose the initiative, we will not be able to carry out this plan. Let the captain tell you the details. After all, Rachel and I can only guess part of it."

"Captain, please." Rachel smiled and looked at Luoyu with admiration.
