Upon hearing this, Brother Wang's expression changed slightly, but since he was inside the wall, Qiao He and the others naturally couldn't see it.
“I don’t know this person,” Brother Wang said coldly.
Qiao He raised an eyebrow slightly; she had gained deception points from Brother Wang.
The "go-it-or-leave-it" system is really useful; it's practically a lie detector.
"Brother Wang, my cat was taken away by Lin Xun. He is really important to me. I just want to find my cat. If you tell us the information, we will exchange it for supplies." Qiao He had no choice but to bring out the supplies.
Surprisingly, Brother Wang wasn't very interested when he heard this.
“We have plenty of supplies, while you’re empty-handed. I’d have to be a fool to believe you have any,” Brother Wang said coldly.
"Don't treat me like an idiot, and get out of here as soon as possible!" Brother Wang's tone gradually became impatient.
It seems the defenses here have been strengthened again, otherwise he might be the one assassinated one day.
Qiao He's beautiful eyes darted around. "Then what do you need? It's okay if you don't care about supplies. With our capabilities, don't you have anything you need someone capable to do?"
These words piqued Brother Wang's curiosity.
He stepped out of the wall and squinted slightly at the enormous robot.
It's very stylish and cool, and it looks very strong.
Brother Wang stroked his chin. "Yes, we do, but can you handle it?"
Qiao He chuckled, "Why not? Tell me, we can help you with the task and then get clues about Lin Xun in return, how about it?"
Brother Wang asked, puzzled, "It's just a cat. Why are you still so concerned about it at a time like this?"
Qiao He said seriously, "They may just be a cat in your eyes, but they are my family."
Brother Wang paused, then smiled: "Good, I admire someone as loyal and righteous as you!"
"There is one thing that requires the help of quite a few people with superpowers..."
Brother Wang said calmly, "I just don't know what your special abilities are."
Qiao He raised an eyebrow slightly and said without hesitation, "You've seen my special ability too. I can summon large robots and such, and these robots only obey me."
"And him, his superpower is superhuman strength!"
After saying that, he pinched Bo Shiwu's arm.
Bo Shiwu nodded and said in a cold voice, "Yes."
Then he stood in front of Qiao He and continued to protect her.
Brother Wang hummed in agreement, "It is somewhat useful. In fact, we need some resources from the neighboring city."
"We need someone strong. How about it, interested? I do know a bit about Lin Xun, the one you mentioned."
"He was an eccentric scientist who built an underground laboratory, but I heard he ran away later."
"I don't know if we're talking about the same person," Brother Wang said in a low voice.
Qiao He's eyes lit up, "Of course it's the same one!"
"Oh, I thought you weren't an easy person to talk to, Brother Wang. Tell me, what do you need us to do? What resources do you need us to find?" Qiao He asked with a smile.
Brother Wang said in a deep voice, "My name is Wang Ge. You don't need to keep calling me brother. Ge is the same as in Gobi."
Qiao He: "..." No wonder he always called him Brother Wang, so his real name is Wang Ge.
The man looked mature and didn't seem like a kind person at all; he even seemed like a smiling tiger.
However, avoiding conflict is the best course of action right now.
Wang Ge is like a tiger.
If you pet it against its natural instincts, it might suddenly bite you.
A hardline approach might not work; some form of exchange of benefits is necessary.
"Okay, Brother Wang Ge, what do you want to do?" Qiao He asked with a smile.
Don't hit someone who smiles at you.
Wang Ge's attitude also changed slightly. He said in a low voice, "It's like this, the city's power resources are not enough to sustain the operation. I want you to go to the neighboring city and bring back some coal for power generation."
"Of course, it's not just about sending you there. I'll also send other people with you."
"After the deed is done, I will reward you with generous supplies, of course—"
"I will also tell you where Lin Xun is going," Wang Ge said calmly, a smile playing at the corners of his eyes.
Qiao He was trying to determine whether what Wang Ge said was true.
The results showed that it was indeed the truth.
If they can bring the resources back, Wang Ge should tell her where Lin Xun went.
Qiao He raised her head slightly. "Okay."
"It's just transporting supplies, so it's not a big problem."
Wang Ge laughed: "Don't underestimate the people in other cities. There's no law or social order anymore; it's all about the strong ruling."
"The people in the neighboring city are not easy to deal with, and we may also be attacked or ambushed on our way back."
"So this is easier said than done," Wang Ge said calmly.
Qiao He nodded and said, "That's true, but don't worry, we guarantee we'll get the resources back for you!"
Actually, Qiao He only needs to take Qiao Yin with him; that should be enough to get the things back.
But she absolutely cannot reveal that they have a spatial ability, otherwise the other party will definitely be jealous and might take the kittens hostage, threatening them to stay here and serve him!
Qiao He would not allow such a thing to happen.
"Come with me. You all look tired. Let's go eat first." With that, Wang Ge waved his hand slightly, and a door appeared in the wall.
Qiao He: "..." 6, so what kind of superpower is this?
Wang Ge took them out for a rather lavish meal, at least for now, it was quite lavish.
Qiao He and Bo Shiwu also saw Wang Ge's sincerity, and Wang Ge even arranged accommodation for them.
A suite, with two bedrooms and a living room.
It's just enough for the three of them to rest.
After Qiao He went inside, he began to check for cameras and listening devices.
Relieved to find there was no one there, he asked, "Hey kid, wanna go?"
Bo Shiwu said in a deep voice, "We can go, but it will take up time. What if Lin Xun leaves again by then?"
Qiao He was frustrated. "I don't know either, but there's no other way now, unless..."
Bo Shiwu had the same idea as her: "Unless we can subdue Wang Ge and force him to tell the truth."
Qiao He had a bit of a headache; she felt that Wang Ge wasn't the kind of person who would passively accept whatever came his way.
Even if he were captured and facing death, if he truly didn't want to talk, he absolutely wouldn't.
She just had that intuition.
Dealing with someone like Wang Ge by force is probably not going to work.
Qiao He rubbed her temples. "It looks like it's going to be tough. Wang Ge is too goal-oriented and difficult to deal with."
Bo Shiwu also fell silent. "Then let's set off tomorrow to find resources for generating electricity and bring the things back as soon as possible, so that we can find out where Lin Xun is."
Qiao He nodded gently, "Yes, that's the only way."
Then, fearing that Lin Qiao and the kittens would worry, Qiao He quickly used her emotional points from the system to buy the skill of telepathy.
Tell Lin Qiao and the others about their situation, and tell them not to worry. Just hide well and don't let the patrol team find you!
