Chapter 215 Everyone has their own agenda
"Let me say this. Actually, my plan is very simple. It consists of three points. First, I want the Tang Sect to think that we are the prey, so the list I gave just hits their bottom line. Think about it, when the Tang Sect keeps increasing the stakes and maximizing the benefits, if we choose to give up and turn around to invite other teams to compete, what will the people of the Tang Sect think?"

"Secondly, why do I say that we cannot give the initiative to those guys from the Tang Sect? It's just a simple question. I want to maximize the benefits at the lowest cost. The price of that list is actually tripled, and it's not that expensive. And it doesn't cost much in the Sun Moon Empire. Since we know this problem, the Tang Sect naturally knows this problem, so they will undoubtedly reject us and say that we are not sincere enough. At this time, Rachel and Yan Lingshu need to take the initiative to propose to increase the chips. As for increasing the chips, we must suffer a small loss once, otherwise the people of the Tang Sect will not be fooled."

"First of all, we were the ones who took the initiative to propose a sparring match, and we also took the initiative to jump into the trap they dug. Rachel also said before that he could represent the captain, and the captain didn't care about these things, so they would conclude that I didn't understand the situation of the team, and would try to get information from me during the sparring match. So from now on, when you communicate, you must inadvertently let out the news that the captain is good for nothing except his strong strength, and you must also express your dissatisfaction with me. And this inadvertentness cannot be too deliberate. You must take the initiative to leave loopholes for them to break through our soul guides. This process must not be too easy. Otherwise, we will fail."

"The second point is that after we've made a mistake, they'll start to raise the stakes. Once they start to raise the stakes, we'll immediately withdraw. I'll act as a mediator to persuade you to continue, but you'll have to object and disagree with me. This will give them a wrong perception, and it's also the beginning of the plan. When we no longer compete with them, we'll compete with other teams with lower stakes than them. This move is for no other reason than to make them feel that they've lost the benefits that were delivered to them in vain."

"As long as they can't sit still, you should say that you have already experienced their strength, so there is no need to continue, and reveal that if they can show stronger strength, you are still willing to continue. At this time, they will show stronger and stronger strength. Of course, this process will also increase gradually, because they will not let you fat sheep run away all at once. Therefore, at this time, you must learn to lower the price. The highest upper limit is to increase the list by 50%. Once they say the price is not enough, you should tell them that there are only so many controlled metals, and the others are simply unavailable, so as to cut off their thoughts."

"The last point is very simple. Use the plan I developed to continuously test the strength of the Tang Sect. This outcome will only be beneficial to the growth of your strength, so this is a win-win cooperation. However, we are the biggest winners, and what they get is not too much for us."

Luo Yu finished speaking his plan in one breath, and everyone felt that this plan was flawless. It was not a conspiracy at all, but an open conspiracy.

It was a clear trap for the Tang Sect to fall into. Even if it was Shrek, they would not be able to break it, let alone the Tang Sect. Because of the incident with the Body Sect, the three empires are now in a state of extreme shortage of rare metals. Luo Yu's plan undoubtedly blocked their weak spot, leaving them no room for counterattack.

Either you obey, or you refuse.

If you behave yourself, you might get meat to eat and soup to drink. If you don't cooperate, you will get nothing and have to watch those who cooperate eat meat and drink soup.

Many times there is no harm without comparison. Once there is comparison, many things will become unbalanced in the mind.

To make the simplest analogy, if you choose to cooperate, you can get the reward you want without paying any price or losing anything. Although you know that this kind of cooperation will help your opponents grow, if you refuse, you will have nothing and can only watch others take away what should belong to you.

There is no solution to this blatant conspiracy, unless you have absolutely no shortage of resources.

"But, Captain, what if the Tang Sect doesn't follow your plan? Are we just going to give up on them?" Jing Peng is a steady person. No matter what happens, he will always seek the safest method.

Rachel stood up and patted Jing Peng on the shoulder, saying, "In fact, it's understandable that the Tang Sect's people didn't fall for it, but what about Shrek? There are also a lot of teams from the three empires lining up, so one more or one less won't make a difference. What we need is a competition between strong people. It's their business whether they come or not, because what we are pursuing this time is just a pure trial. It would be better if there are unexpected gains, but forget it if there are none. The captain is actually very clear about this."

"It seems that I worried too much." Jing Peng nodded ashamedly.

"The follow-up matters will be led by Rachel. As for Xiao Hongchen and Meng Hongchen, they should not get involved in this matter. Let them go to Mingde Hall to meditate for a while. I will not interfere in the follow-up matters. If you mess up, Rachel and Lu Jiuyu, you two will be punished. If you succeed, I will take you to the base of experimental subject No. 3 for further training for two months." Luo Yu smiled and knocked on the table, offering a chip that no one could refuse.

Rachel perked up when she heard that. She stood up and said vigorously, "Did you hear that? I'm the captain now. If anyone disobeys my orders, don't blame me for being rude."

Luo Yu smiled and said, "It's getting late. I have to report the recent situation to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so the rest of the matter will be handed over to you. Remember to work hard and don't let my plan go to waste."

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

………………“Yuhao, do you think we should accept their invitation?”

In Huo Yuhao's room, everyone gathered together to discuss the sudden visit of the Sun and Moon Team and their request for a sparring match.

Beibei was a little unsure about this matter, so he planned to discuss it with everyone.

"I think the competition is fake, the real thing is to understand our strength in advance." Huo Yuhao spoke up and pointed out the Sun Moon Team's thoughts.

Xu Sanshi said, "Should we reject them?"

Beibei shook her head and said, "In fact, we don't have to reject them. After all, they are the ones sparring with us. Now the initiative is in our hands, so we don't have to give up. But I still need to verify one thing before I can come to a conclusion."

"Big Brother, you want to talk about this list, right?" He Caitou took the list of materials, looked at it carefully, and replied.

Bei Bei continued to ask: "What about the materials above? Are they the rare metals and other materials for soul guides that we need?"

"These are indeed the materials we need. Moreover, they are rare metals that are strictly controlled by the Sun-Moon Empire on the three empires. There are also some materials that are extremely difficult for the three empires to obtain now." He Caitou also knew the value of this list.

“If that’s the case, then it proves one thing.” Huo Yuhao paused and looked around. “Since those people from the Sun Moon Empire can produce this list, they must think they have us in their hands. So we absolutely cannot agree to them immediately, otherwise we won’t be able to get these materials so easily again.”

“Yuhao, do you mean that we should continue to refuse until the other party raises the price until we are satisfied?” Tang Ya looked at Huo Yuhao, thought about it, and then joined in.

"Yes, that's right. Since those people from the Sun-Moon Empire can come up with such a list, it means they know nothing about our strength. Even though we participated in the last session, five years have passed now. It is impossible for them to know our situation well, so they have to exchange information with us in exchange for benefits. They think they have us in their hands because we really lack rare metals, but we also have them in our hands. As long as they don't understand our strength, they will definitely agree to our request for the sake of subsequent competitions." Huo Yuhao's eyes flashed with a hint of cunning, with a hint of success.

Bei Bei was a little worried and said, "Yuhao, do you think they will really agree? What if the conditions we offer are too high and they don't agree?"

"The price can be negotiated. Isn't that how business works? As long as they still want to win the championship, they will not give up the great opportunity to understand our strength. Because they have lost to us before, they will definitely exchange benefits with us at all costs to defend their past glory."

Huo Yuhao told his plan. Actually, Bei Bei also guessed what Huo Yuhao meant, but he had the illusion that things seemed a little too simple. However, Bei Bei did not ignore it, but instead added a trace of vigilance in his heart.

"Whether our plan will succeed or not depends on the outcome of our negotiations tomorrow. If we reject their proposal and they no longer come to discuss with me, it means that my guess is partially wrong. The really important thing is still to come, which is whether they will agree to our conditions. If they agree, then it means that my guess is correct."

Seeing Huo Yuhao's confident look, Bei Bei nodded and chose to wait and see how things would develop.

Right or wrong, success or failure, let’s see what happens tomorrow.
