Chapter 78 Ah, Don’t Take It
As soon as Zuo An raised his eyes, he saw four standard military salutes. Zuo An quickly stood at attention and returned the salute.
It didn't look like the most standard military salute, but it was a proper one. It moved the four men's hearts and they lowered their hands.
"Mr. Zuo An, thank you for everything you have done for us." The leader of the four was a middle-aged man with a crew cut. He had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a square face. He had the kind of decent look that mothers liked very much.
"No need to thank me, no need to thank me. It's just a matter of mutual benefit." Zuo An felt that he didn't deserve it. He had already accepted the money.
"No matter what, I'm truly grateful to Mr. Zuo An and his companions." The square-faced man glanced at the ball on Zuo An's shoulder. "You've brought us endless hope."
Faced with the sincere thanks, Zuo An could only accept it with a smile.
"I wonder if you are willing to make a deal with us, Mr. Zuo An?" The square-faced man suddenly asked in a low voice.
"What's the deal?"
"Can we change places?" the square-faced man asked cautiously.
"Of course." Zuo An came out directly from the service desk and took a few people to the bathroom, where Yuanqiu had opened a secret door.
When Zuo An pushed open the secret door and stepped in first, the square-faced man nodded to his comrades beside him, and the two comrades stayed outside. Although they believed that with the capabilities of the Marriage House of All Worlds, the security would definitely not be weak, but taking precautions before it happens is a must in their training.
Especially this time there are sixty or seventy people. Even those who get out alive will be asked by people from the country to sign a confidentiality agreement. But there will always be people who will take risks for money. Therefore, for the benefit of the country, they must maintain the utmost confidentiality.
After entering the secret door, there was a spacious and bright conference room. There was even an open window. Looking out, there was the sound of birds singing and flowers blooming. The square-faced man and his comrades were stunned for a moment. Where did they enter?
"These are holographic projections." Zuo An explained with a smile, then asked the two to sit down.
This was something Yuanqiu had specially done to show off his abilities. Even after the square-faced man sat down, Yuanqiu conjured up a cup of steaming hot tea for the two of them on the table.
This move was shown very well, and it made the square-faced man's evaluation of them rise to a higher level.
"I wonder what kind of deal you want to make with us?" Zuo An looked at the two of them with a smile.
"It's not us." The square-faced man took out the tactical backpack on the ground, then took out a document from it. He stood up and handed it to Zuo An with both hands, "It's with our country."
Zuo An also took the document with both hands. The red font at the top made this little commoner's heart tremble. Could this be the legendary national red-headed document?
[Don't get excited, stay calm.] The ball sensed Zuo An's mood change.
[You don't understand. This is a national document. How can I be worthy of reading a national-level document?] Zuo An tried to remain calm on the surface, but he was screaming in his heart.
"Why are you so excited? This isn't your country. This is just a parallel dimension." The sphere scoffed.
[Humph, you don't understand.] How could Yuanqiu, an alien, possibly understand the excitement of ordinary Chinese citizens upon encountering a state-level secret?
This is even more exciting than passing the civil service exam. If it really is Blue Star, Zuo An can help the country so much that their village will have to raise funds to build a ancestral hall for him.
"Mr. Zuo An, you can take a look at the conditions above. If you are not satisfied with anything, you can raise it and everything can be negotiated." The square-faced man had been observing Zuo An's expression.
For the square-faced man, no matter how much Zuo An tried to remain calm, the emotions in his eyes could not escape his observation. However, even though he had some guesses about his identity, he did not dare to take any gamble until he was sure.
"Okay, I'm watching." Zuo An called the ball in his mind.
[Hurry up and take a look. Is there anything you want to change? Don't be too harsh. It's hard enough for humans here to survive.] Zuo An couldn't help but speak well of the humans.
[Don't waste your time talking nonsense.] With a quick scan, the ball summarized the lengthy document.
As long as Wanjie Marriage House is willing, the state will help the Marriage House to conduct a nationwide personnel screening (initial screening with flyers) and then send them to the Marriage House in batches.
But the prerequisite is that the House of Marriage between All Worlds can be moved outside the Strange Domain, so that they can bring people here safely.
[It's funny, are they helping me or themselves?] Yuanqiu was unhappy.
"Win-win, win-win." Zuo An quickly reassured Yuanqiu, "With the power of the nation, we don't have to run around all over the Ghost Domain. This way, not only is the risk lower, but the guests don't have to find them themselves. What's not good about that?"
Their tone of voice really irritated me.
Zuo An looked down at the document. While it was a bit formulaic, it was still full of compliments. What was wrong with the tone? Never mind. Yuanqiu was an alien, how could he understand the art of Chinese language? [You're overthinking it. Look at them. Aren't they particularly respectful and humble to you?]
Zuo An gestured to Yuanqiu to look at the square-faced man opposite him and his comrade-in-arms. The two men sat upright waiting for Zuo An and Yuanqiu's answer.
【Okay.】The ball agreed.
"That's fine, but we can't go outside the strange domain this time. We have to wait until next time." Zuo An handed the document back to the square-faced man.
The square-faced man's eyes lit up. After taking the document, he asked, "Where will you be staying next time? So we can prepare in advance!"
【where? 】
[Ask him to give a specific coordinate, not a name.]
"Give me a coordinate. We need to locate it using the longitude and latitude of the planet."
"Okay." The square-faced man immediately took out another document from his backpack. It was obvious that he had made preparations long ago.
It should be said that the military leaders who have recently entered the Strange Territory have all carried documents prepared by the state with them, hoping that whoever encounters this magical House of Marriage between All Worlds in the Strange Territory will take the initiative to negotiate with the owner.
To be honest, it wasn't really a negotiation at all. They were just showing their sincerity to see if the Wanjie Marriage House was willing to take it. After all, they didn't seem to have anything better to offer the Wanjie Marriage House.
But the appearance of the task bracelet let the square-faced man know what the Wanjie Marriage House wanted. After Zuo An circled a coordinate on the document he took out, the square-faced man enthusiastically took out a few things from his backpack and placed them on the table.
"What is this?" Zuo An asked curiously?
"The things in here are several very dangerous and strange items." The square-faced man pushed forward, "These items are actually one of our most powerful weapons in dealing with strange things."
"They're just very difficult to control. If you're not careful, they'll assimilate or devour the operator." But for them, when offensive means are insufficient, drinking poison to quench thirst is also very necessary. "I see that Mr. Zuo An and you are collecting strange body parts and strange items. These are my personal gifts to you. I hope you don't mind."
[Energy, energy.] The ball took a deep breath. The energy in this strange object was far greater than that in the strange limb.
"In that case, I'd better obey your command..." Seeing that Yuanqiu was so greedy, Zuo An reached out and took those strange items.
"Ah, don't take it..." The ball screamed, flew up and knocked Zuo An's hand away.
Zuo An was stunned. The square-faced man was also stunned. The other man, who was taking out a pen and paper to discuss a deal with Zuo An and the others, was also stunned...
