"and."
Zhang Hao continued, "It doesn't even qualify as a transaction, let alone an exchange of value. If you're thinking of using this level-six crystal core to trade for the video, you're being a bit reckless."
Onimaru was dumbfounded.
Return it to its rightful owner?
It doesn't even qualify as a transaction?
Zhang Hao's words made so much sense that he was speechless.
So all that effort was for nothing?
"No... Chairman Zhang, that's a bit unreasonable of you."
Onimaru almost got caught up in the mess: "You did kill the one-eyed one, but you lost the crystal core yourself, so it's not our fault. How can this be considered returning it to its rightful owner? Isn't that the logic?"
"Why not? What I killed is mine. If I didn't care, I could just lose it. But since you found it, it's naturally still mine."
Zhang Hao said calmly, "Back in the days of the rule of law, it was against the law to return something you found. Don't you think it should be returned to me?"
"But this isn't a society governed by the rule of law; there aren't even any rules."
“Then I, Zhang Hao, will set this rule for you: if you find my things, you have to return them to me. You are free to disregard this rule.”
Zhang Hao remained expressionless.
Onimaru shuddered at the sight.
Could this be any more obvious?
It's simply a matter of accepting it whether you want to or not; you're destined to suffer this loss.
Is this guy a skinflint?
If it weren't a zombie, it would have burst into tears of grievance long ago.
Guiwan said with a wronged expression, "President Zhang, I spent a lot of money to trade this level-six crystal core with Ranfan. You can't just take it for free, can you? At least give me something in return!"
"Hmm~~"
Upon hearing this, Zhang Hao...
That does seem to be the case.
We've made several deals, but it seems that apart from the action videos, we haven't given them any substantial benefits.
Moreover, it's too exploitative of Onimaru.
It's also inevitable that they will develop a rebellious mentality in the future.
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Hao pondered, "How about this, since you want to expand the Little Ghost Alliance, I can give you a batch of 50,000 level-two crystal cores and 50 refined weapons. Is that alright?"
"Thank you, Chairman Zhang."
Onimaru nodded.
Whether they meant it or not, they all showed expressions of satisfaction.
Fifty thousand level-two crystal cores are almost insignificant, but fifty refined weapons are extremely useful, even though the quantity is not large.
But at least this was the first time Zhang Hao had given her a benefit.
It was already quite an achievement to be able to get some supplies from "Zhang the Skinflint".
"Where's the crystal core?" Zhang Hao got straight to the point.
"Um... Ranfan hopes to seek peace."
"Give me the crystal core and we'll talk."
"Uh, okay."
Onimaru was reluctant to leave.
He handed the level 6 crystal core to the other party.
After observing it for a few moments to confirm it wasn't a fake, Zhang Hao looked at Gui Wan with satisfaction and said, "Tell me, how does Ran Fan want to make peace?"
"It says it can provide you with a batch of crystal cores, as long as you don't enter the first ring road, you can kill any zombies in other areas," Onimaru said.
"What is the exact quantity?"
"Three hundred thousand level-three crystal cores."
"Too little."
"Those 350,000."
"not enough."
A human and a zombie began haggling.
After several rounds of negotiation, the final number was set at 800,000 level-3 crystal cores, 150,000 level-4 crystal cores, and 10,000 level-5 crystal cores.
The number of tertiary crystal nuclei is not too large.
However, it can save a lot of effort, and the most crucial part is the fourth-level crystal nucleus.
Because level four crystal cores are extremely rare, it is estimated that there are only a few hundred thousand level four zombies among tens of millions of zombies.
150,000 level-four crystal cores is already quite a generous offer.
If Zhang Hao could train them, the time required to become level 5 elite members would be shortened many times over, and the number of level 5 crystal cores would be even more astonishing.
A full ten thousand!
There aren't many Level 5 crystal cores left in the inventory.
There are very few level 5 zombies in the zombie horde. At least before the [Extreme Cold] completely descends, it is estimated that there will be tens of thousands of level 5 zombies.
Ranfan has really gone all out this time.
This is enough to prove that the other party is very eager to seek peace.
After the deal was completed.
Onimaru finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, saying, "Thank you for your sentiments. Ranfan, who was lucky enough to survive, will be grateful to you."
“I never said I was going to let him off the hook.”
"Huh? But didn't you accept a level six crystal core?"
"I did accept it, but wasn't this a deal between us? What does it have to do with Ranfan? You didn't even plead for it on my behalf."
"???"
Onimaru was dumbfounded.
Isn't this the default setting?
How could someone like Zhang Pi be so shameless?
Zombies have personalities too, oops—zombie personalities!
If you keep bullying us like this, be careful we'll fight you to the death! But for now, the fish might die, but the net won't break.
So this idea is pretty useless.
Onimaru pleaded, "No... Chairman Zhang, you can't do this! I'm just a small business owner. I only brought this level six crystal core so that you would spare its life."
"I know."
Zhang Hao smiled and said, "Ghost Maru, putting aside a businessman's professional ethics, do you really want it to live? Let's keep it simple, I'll ask you—do you want to be the zombie king?"
"Well……"
Onimaru was stunned.
It didn't know how to answer for a moment.
"If you want, I can kill it. I'll take care of any zombies that are not convinced, and the throne of the Zombie King will be yours."
These are Zhang Hao's words.
Like a demon from hell, it deeply tempted it.
Zombie King!
Who wouldn't want to be the zombie king?
With a single call, tens of millions of zombies would readily offer themselves; who wouldn't be willing?
But the problem is...
Can I really do it?
Do I, Onimaru, really have the ability to become the Zombie King?
Its breathing became rapid.
After a long while, Onimaru finally calmed down: "Thank you for your support. I really want to be the Zombie King, but I know my own limitations, so I won't get involved in this mess."
"Ranfan is the most suitable."
