Li Xin'er, seeing the two looking at her pitifully with pleading eyes, involuntarily crossed her arms over her chest.
"That's a different price."
Seeing that there was room for discussion, Qi Hongshen immediately put on a fawning smile and moved closer.
"Miss Li, please feel free to ask. We will do what we can."
Qi Hongshen is thick-skinned and speaks bluntly. He's already made it clear that Li Xin'er should name her price as soon as possible, but whether they can deliver depends on their capabilities.
In other words, to sum it all up, you should think carefully before you speak.
Lu Chen couldn't stand it any longer and chimed in from the side:
"The lives of the mission team are the most important. I promise on behalf of my superiors that I will provide some assistance in this matter."
This meant they could reimburse a portion of the expenses. Hearing this, Qi Hongshen spoke with even more confidence.
"Look, Mr. Lu has already spoken, Ms. Li, please feel free to make any requests you may have."
As he spoke, he urged him on with an anxious expression.
"But look at the urgency of the situation now, we really can't delay."
He was genuinely afraid of Li Xin'er, who might tell him, "I'll go back and think about it..."
The two of them had said everything, good and bad, leaving Li Xin'er somewhat at a loss for words.
"It seems I'm not that heartless. How come I'm being treated like a ruthless businessman who only gets things done for profit?"
Qi Hongshen and his companion forced awkward smiles.
"Not at all, you're joking. Miss Li is absolutely kind-hearted."
Li Xin'er quickly raised her hand to stop them; she had just heard it.
"No, I really don't want to be a Bodhisattva. I have the information, but I don't need much, just 100,000. If it works out, great; if not, I'm moving right now."
Since the higher-ups are going to reimburse them, 100,000 crystal cores are really not much for the official authorities, not to mention that her information could lead them down many detours.
Understanding mutated beasts directly can double your combat power in the future.
"One hundred thousand..."
Qi Hongshen repeated, his tone hesitant, his expectant gaze fixed on Lu Chen, waiting for the big shot to speak.
Don't be fooled by the fact that he's talking about 100,000 at a time. It may not sound like much, but for his base, it still takes some effort.
Lu Chen received Qi Hongshen's pitiful look, which was almost unbearable to look at. Was he really that stingy?
Without hesitation, the wealthy and powerful man readily agreed.
"Okay, 100,000 it is."
Seeing that she had made another profit, Li Xin'er smiled and joked with Qi Hongshen:
"Then, base commander, you should add this to the IOU."
She didn't expect to receive it immediately, but she wasn't afraid they would renege on their promise.
Qi Hongshen immediately assured him, "Don't worry, definitely, that's for sure."
The three of them stood there chatting, while the other superhumans nearby weren't deliberately eavesdropping; they were just passively listening.
Those who are unaware of the situation are still wondering, 100,000? 100,000 yuan? Or 100,000 what?
What good is money now?
Is this Ms. Li the female celebrity who's been making headlines all over the place?
Why are the base chief and that Lu family member with special status both so respectful and polite to her?
This Miss Li is no ordinary person!
Li Xin'er looked around and saw the people around her: the soldiers standing guard at the gate, the people in the safe zone who were watching the excitement from afar, the hundreds of soldiers who had come to assemble at the gate, and so on. There were quite a lot of people.
Lu Chen followed her gaze and was the first to react, suggesting:
"We can talk somewhere else."
"No need." Li Xin'er deliberately raised her hand slightly, making a feigned gesture.
Using his soul power, he created a protective shield around the three of them, effectively isolating them from sound.
"That's enough, they can't hear you now."
Li Xin'er's move surprised Qi Hongshen and Lu Chen once again; they found it hard to believe.
Qi Hongshen's eyes were still fixed on Li Xin'er's hand as he gestured in her place.
"Is that all?"
Li Xin'er didn't explain, but instead spoke directly, loudly calling out to Assistant Wang who was standing next to her.
"Assistant Wang, Assistant Wang!"
She continued to call out to Lu Chen and the other man, without looking towards Assistant Wang.
Assistant Wang and the others were outside the protective shield. They could see the three people's movements, but they couldn't hear a sound.
Therefore, even though Li Xin'er's voice was loud, Assistant Wang stood there without reacting at all.
It was Lu Chen and the other person who looked curiously toward Assistant Wang, which made him look puzzled, awkward, and finally even fearful.
At this moment, Li Xin'er said something that was still unclear to her.
"Assistant Wang seems quite flustered being stared at like this by you all."
After saying that, without caring whether Lu Chen took it to heart, he began to talk about information about the mutated beasts.
"Animal beings, like humans, are infected with the virus and have no thoughts. Like zombies, they can be called zombie beasts."
Animals that are alive and just like ordinary people are just ordinary animals, without any change.
Animals that awaken supernatural abilities will have their bodies mutate and become stronger.
Besides possessing superpowers like other supernatural beings, the most obvious difference is that their physique increases several times in size. Furthermore, the intelligence of these mutated beasts also increases, with most reaching the level of a young child.
Li Xin'er's series of words left the two of them stunned, unable to process what she had said for a long time.
"Mutant beast..."
"Zombie beast..."
The two of them, one in front of the other, murmured to each other in a low voice.
Li Xin'er reminded again: "Therefore, mutated beasts can become human partners or enemies. Ultimately, it depends on how humans interact with them."
After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen raised a question.
