Mu Jin finally spoke, asking, "Do you want to make weapons?"
Fifth Zhen looked at Mu Jin and said, "Hehe, I knew you were very perceptive, Jin Er. That's right, you want to make weapons. Only the Eight Gates can make them, right?"
"How should we calculate the money?" Mu Jin asked.
Fifth Zhen glanced at Mu Jin, then at Maomao. Why did this couple keep talking about money? Were they just taking advantage of his lack of funds? His head was throbbing with pain.
However, Fifth Zhen still took out a stack of documents and handed them to Mu Jin, "These are weapon blueprints and a budget from the design department. You set the price, after all, you're the one who will ultimately implement it... Don't set it too high!"
Cat leaned over and glanced at the blueprints. She only flipped through them briefly before saying disdainfully, "With weapons like these, you think you can fight monsters? If you encounter a demon, you'll be done for."
Fifth Zhen paused for a moment, then said, "Kitty, have some mercy on your mouth."
“I didn’t say anything wrong,” the cat said.
Gu Xiaoliu's expression suddenly became extremely solemn, and his face turned a little pale. He said, "Yes, what Maomao said is right. The monster's defense is very terrifying. With those weapons, even concentrated fire might not be able to cause it any damage."
He still vividly remembered the demon summoned at sea that day; if it weren't for the cat, everyone present would have died.
Fifth Zhen frowned and looked at Gu Xiaoliu.
Suddenly, the cat laughed and said, "Fifth True, if you promise me one thing, I will design a few weapons for you, practical weapons for different types of combat."
Fifth Zhen asked with skepticism, "You have such an ability?"
Cat: "Of course."
Fifth Zhen almost agreed, but he still cautiously asked, "What is it?"
The cat laughed and said, "Give me your newly formed special department for a year."
"What?!"
Fifth Zhen immediately stood up! The solid wood chair made a heavy thud on the ground, and Fifth Zhen could hardly believe what she heard.
"The members of the newly formed special department are all drawn from the special forces, and their overall quality is extremely high. I haven't even used them yet, and you're already giving them to me? And for another year! Isn't lending Ren Shuai enough for you?!"
No one else expected that Cat would make such an outrageous demand. Fifth Zhen only had so few cards in his hand, and Cat had already taken them all.
However, they weren't in a hurry; instead, they seemed to be watching the show with a sense of anticipation.
Cat said, "First of all, I didn't borrow Ren Shuai; he owes me, and he said he would pay me back. Secondly, I only want your newly established special department; I didn't want your veterans."
"Third, think about it carefully. You want people with special combat abilities. Do you think you can train them? After I borrow them, I will definitely train them. At that time, they will be able to easily kill monsters. Don't you think you have made a huge profit?"
"All you need to do is leave your people with me, and you'll get an invincible army. Where else can you find such a bargain?"
Jiu Yebai bit his chopsticks and exclaimed, "Holy crap, the cat was right! This is an incredible bargain!"
Gu Xiaoliu was also very tempted, "Fifth Zhen, I think it's feasible, agree!"
Kino couldn't help but laugh. His sister-in-law was really good at fooling people.
Gu Qiuyan, you've struck at the heart! What a brilliant tactic.
Only Mu Jin remained calm, even eating his food slowly and methodically... The island needed people, especially strong people, and soldiers were naturally the best option.
Mercenaries are definitely unreliable. They come from regular troops, and they're our own people. You can trust them completely.
As for the one-year timeframe, that's enough. One year is sufficient for the island's ecosystem to start cycling, and there's enough time to train successors before they leave.
Cat urged Fifth True, "Hurry up and decide, it's not a big deal."
Fifth, I'm speechless. This is a huge deal! He's been planning this for over three months! He just finished setting it up, and now he's going to lend it out to someone else?
Seeing his hesitation, Maomao took a step back and said, "Okay, I'll add another condition: if you have a very important mission and have to use this team, I can lend it to you temporarily."
Fifth Zhen immediately agreed: "Deal!"
He said it through gritted teeth, feeling a deep pain for the first time in his life, as if his heart was bleeding.
This is much worse than being ripped off.
This is sabotaging his own son...
Cat was delighted and threw the documents back to Fifth True. "These things are no longer needed. Even if the trial period is one year, I will definitely equip my people with the best."
“My people…”
This was like adding insult to injury for Fifth True Heart. "That...that's wonderful."
Kino laughed and said, "Today is a triple celebration! Let's open another bottle of wine and drink until we're drunk!"
Mu Jin had already finished eating. He glanced at Gu Xiaoliu and then went out.
Gu Xiaoliu paused, then followed him out.
He walked forward and, sure enough, saw Mu Jin standing on the terrace waiting for him.
"What's going on with you acting so suspiciously?" Mu Jin asked him.
Gu Xiaoliu hesitated for two seconds before telling the story of that day.
He crouched down on the ground, holding his head. "Jin Er, I don't know what happened... The situation was too urgent that day. Maomao told me to do it, and I just did it."
Who would have thought that the cat had that thing on its neck? It looks really weird.
"Does anyone else know?" Mu Jin asked casually.
Gu Xiaoliu said, "There should be... but I'm not sure. I brought about twenty people, and Maomao brought four."
Mu Jin: "Give me the list."
Gu Xiaoliu immediately looked up, "Jin Er, you're not going to kill me to cover your tracks, are you? That won't do..."
Mu Jin glanced at him coldly, "To deal with a group of ordinary people, I would need to kill them to silence them, but silencing them is also necessary."
Gu Xiaoliu was relieved. "I'll send it to your phone in a bit."
Since he said so, Gu Xiaoliu believed him.
"The incantation? Do you remember it?"
Gu Xiaoliu was taken aback, then immediately shook his head, "I don't remember. That incantation was so long. I only managed to memorize it for a short while because of a burst of potential. I swear, I really forgot."
Mu Jin looked away.
Gu Xiaoliu felt the pressure that had been weighing him down vanish instantly. He felt that he had passed the test with Mu Jin.
Mu Jin asked again, "You've been suspended from your post?"
Gu Xiaoliu nodded, "Yes, I'll resign after the review is over. It's too boring working there."
"You should go back first."
Gu Xiaoliu left without hesitation.
Mu Jin suddenly felt a little irritated. She took out a cigarette from her pocket, put it in her mouth, but didn't light it.
The chain around the cat's neck is a Flameheart Lock...
