Zhao Jingguo waited anxiously.

Zhao Lu just sent him a message saying that Ye Li will take the initiative to contact him.

He was staring intently at the screen.

"Ding~"

A private chat notification sounded.

The name that he both loathed and longed for finally appeared on the screen.

Zhao Jingguo didn't dare to delay for a moment and immediately edited a message to reply: "I want to buy something from you."

What do you want to buy?

Ye Li asked curiously.

"Mysterious Iron".

Zhao Jingguo didn't beat around the bush and spoke directly.

He was afraid that beating around the bush would displease Ye Li and cause her to blacklist him again.

"Mysterious Iron?"

Ye Li frowned slightly.

He quickly recalled that back at the Ascension Platform, Zhao Jingguo seemed to have obtained a legendary blueprint.

This might be needed for the materials mentioned above.

"I do have two pieces, but what can you offer in exchange?"

Ye Li asked.

Upon seeing that Ye Li possessed Xuan Tie, Zhao Jingguo's heart began to beat faster.

But he also knew in his heart that obtaining such a thing would definitely not be an easy task.

Suppressing his anxiety, he typed a message: "I'm willing to trade my entire security fleet for it."

"The entire security convoy?"

Upon seeing Zhao Jingguo's message, Ye Li asked in confusion, "What would I need your convoy for?"

“There are over 900,000 people in the entire region right now. And with your high-profile gun sales, countless people are eyeing your resources. In just over an hour, several groups have already contacted our convoy asking for your information…”

"You are indeed very strong, but you are ultimately alone. Trouble will keep coming your way. If you cooperate with our team, our security team can be your gun and shield, and can protect you from some of the trouble..."

"As long as you cooperate with our team, I am willing to share 30% of the resources that our team obtains with you."

Zhao Jingguo sent a voice message directly.

"Tsk tsk tsk... Don't you feel embarrassed?"

Ye Li sent a message.

"What's the meaning?"

When Zhao Jingguo saw the message from Ye Li, he asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Based on the price of refined gold, how much can your caravan give me per day?"

Ye Li asked expressionlessly.

"Everyone has just been teleported to a new area and isn't very familiar with it yet. For now, you can probably... earn 10 to 20 coins per day..."

"But this is only a preliminary estimate. The exact number will be calculated based on the actual output of the resource boxes. Once everyone adapts to the environment, the output will increase."

Zhao Jingguo scratched his head and answered somewhat awkwardly.

Upon hearing this number, Ye Li couldn't help but roll her eyes.

He quickly typed a message on the screen: "Do you know how many resources I acquired in just one hour?"

"..."

Zhao Jingguo remained silent for a while before replying, "Many..."

The auction prices for those dozen or so guns were displayed in real time, and the final resources can only be calculated in massive quantities.

"I just earned 30,000 adamantium from selling bullets alone. So, do you think I would care about your team's mere 30% share of resources?"

Ye Li replied calmly.

The private chat interface fell silent for a long time.

Ye Li wasn't in a hurry and continued to check other people's private chat messages.

Zhao Jingguo remained silent for a long time before replying with a message: "In this world, one person's strength is ultimately limited..."

"The weak flock together, the strong always walk alone. You know nothing about power."

Zhao Jingguo's teeth were grinding together.

On Earth, as a bodyguard for a high-ranking official in the Dragon Kingdom's Security Bureau, although his strength wasn't top-tier in the industry, few dared to tell him he knew nothing about power.

These people all possess genuine killing skills.

Unlike those martial arts practitioners who only show off their skills.

Zhao Jingguo took several deep breaths before swallowing his anger.
