Jiang Wu shook his head and said calmly, "I don't know, but I think what you said made sense, so I've decided to keep some to see."
This answer caused a flicker of disappointment to cross Phoenix's eyes.
Even a powerful figure like him doesn't know?
But that disappointment was quickly replaced by coquettishness.
She pointed towards the door and instructed, "Go and calculate the value of that batch of supplies, and convert it into level three crystal cores."
"Yes, Sister Phoenix." The subordinate outside the door responded respectfully, and the sound of footsteps gradually faded away.
Fire Phoenix refocused her attention on Jiang Wu, her massage becoming increasingly gentle and suggestive: "Brother~ do you know how precious level three crystal cores are? The entire base can only get a few dozen level three crystal cores each month, sometimes only a few or a dozen."
"If it were anyone else, I definitely wouldn't trade with him for a level-three crystal core, but since you want it, I'm certainly willing to."
She leaned down, her red lips almost touching Jiang Wu's ear, her breath sweet as orchids: "Also, how about you spend the night with me, and I'll give you 20 more level-three crystal cores. You know, 20 level-three crystal cores can be exchanged for 10 tons of rice~ That's not a small amount~ 20 for one night~"
Jiang Wu's lips twitched slightly; this woman was getting bolder and bolder.
What kind of person does this guy think he is?
He pushed away Fire Phoenix's hand and said calmly, "Don't act out in front of me."
The phoenix pressed closer, her eyes burning with desire: "Don't be so cold~ Just for one night, okay~ Maybe you'll like me like this soon~"
Jiang Wu's lips twitched, and he stood up, avoiding her approach.
Instead of throwing her out like the first time.
He walked directly to the window and looked out at the street: "I'm going to the Misty Zone tomorrow morning. While I'm gone, please protect Engineer Chen for me. I will remember your kindness."
This sudden change of topic startled Phoenix.
She dropped her flirtatious manner and said seriously, "Do you really have to go? It's really dangerous there. After all, some things are truly unpredictable. No matter how capable you are, you're still just one person."
Jiang Wu turned to look at Fire Phoenix and said calmly, "Just trust that I can come back safely. If I wanted to escape, there's probably nothing in this world that could stop me."
Although his tone was calm, there was a strong sense of confidence in his words.
To Phoenix, this confidence, however, was a kind of domineering air of looking down on the world.
Fire Phoenix stared blankly at Jiang Wu.
His gaze slowly turned fiery again.
Taking a deep breath, she suddenly said, "If you insist on going there, I recommend you find someone! Blood Rose!"
Jiang Wu calmly asked, "Why are you looking for her?"
Fire Phoenix hesitated for a moment, and did not answer the question directly.
A few seconds later, she said seriously, "Because I swore I wouldn't say anything more, I can't tell you why, but if she agrees to go with you, you'll be much safer."
Jiang Wu seemed to be deep in thought.
It seems that Fire Phoenix definitely knows what's going on inside.
She just didn't want to say it.
If it were an enemy, Jiang Wu would definitely have captured her and tortured her to extract a confession.
But given the current situation...
Jiang Wu didn't force her to tell him what happened inside. Instead, he said calmly, "Could you help me contact that Blood Rose?"
Fire Phoenix fell silent again, staring at Jiang Wu without saying a word.
Suddenly, she gritted her teeth, stomped her foot, and said, "I've really lost my mind! We were complete strangers before! And now I'm doing all this for you! You just wait!"
After saying that, she got up and walked towards the door.
Jiang Wu turned around and watched the Fire Phoenix's departing figure; he could see her hesitation.
This made Jiang Wu even more curious about the Fog Zone.
Jiang Wu looked out the window again.
Just as he was deep in thought, the door to the private room was gently pushed open, and two beautiful women walked in, saying respectfully, "Sir, Sister Phoenix asked us to come and give you a massage."
Jiang Wu didn't turn his head and said indifferently, "No need, I want to be alone. You can all leave and close the door for me."
"Yes." The two women dared not say more and quietly left the room.
On the other side.
The Fire Phoenix had already arrived at a building not far away.
This is where Blood Rose often comes from, a quiet teahouse that is almost completely isolated from the world.
Blood Rose sat alone by the window, a cup of tea that had long since gone cold in front of her.
When she saw the Fire Phoenix enter, her cold eyes remained calm and undisturbed, showing no sign of anything amiss.
"What is it?" Blood Rose's voice was as cold as ever.
Fire Phoenix sat down opposite her, abandoning her usual seductive demeanor, and said seriously, "Have you heard about how that mysterious powerhouse recently severed the Dragon Scale Chariot with a single strike and forced the Dragon King Sect to admit defeat?"
Blood Rose nodded, her eyes filled with complex emotions: "I saw it with my own eyes."
"What do you think?" Fire Phoenix pressed.
Blood Rose was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "His speed has far surpassed that of me and the Dragon King. He should have already reached the level of a fourth-level evolver."
She paused, then continued, "And the weapon in his hand was most likely made from materials from a level four mutated beast, which is why it is so sharp."
Upon receiving this answer from Blood Rose, Fire Phoenix was utterly stunned.
She muttered to herself, "Level 4... How is this possible..."
Blood Rose sighed, her tone tinged with a rare melancholy: "I've only just realized that I'm just a frog in a well. There are already people in this world who have walked far ahead of us."
