Fu Qingyao's story left Xu Qi looking distressed and helpless.
Zheng Ya smiled faintly and said, "Wu Wei is quite cunning, managing to scheme against everyone and gain all the advantages. That's impossible."
"Hmm, what are your thoughts?" Fu Qingyao realized that Wu Wei's true nemesis was this kid.
Zheng Ya leaned back on the sofa, took the teacup Xu Qi handed him, played with it in his hand, and smiled, "This is simple."
We can accept Wu Wei's plan, but we need to modify it.
First, in order to achieve the expected win-win cooperation, we require the Eagle King faction to submit a deposit of five million points. Is that unreasonable?
"Hey, you know what, this is a good idea." Fu Qingyao raised her eyebrows and perked up.
Xu Qi nodded slightly in agreement: "That's a good idea."
After all, we can't guarantee that the Eagle King faction won't have bad intentions while carrying out Wu Wei's plan, and might even cause us to become mortal enemies with the Ning King faction.
This forces us to rely on the Eagle King's faction in order to face the wrath of the Ning King's faction, and we have already defended our base.
At that time, we will be at the mercy of the Eagle King's faction.
"Collecting a deposit from the Eagle King's faction beforehand will ensure they don't act recklessly. Otherwise, we could simply offer five million points to the Ning King's faction, accusing the Eagle King's faction of forcing and bribing us to break off the marriage alliance, and then withdraw to watch them fight amongst themselves, offending neither side."
"Hmm, not a bad idea, but it won't be easy to get the Eagle King faction to come up with a deposit of five million points." Fu Qingyao was not optimistic.
Zheng Ya smiled: "This is Wu Wei's responsibility and mission."
She only dreams big and doesn't take any responsibility. Who knows what kind of trouble she'll cause?
"Yes, that's right, it's putting a tight rein on Wu Wei." Fu Qingyao had nothing more to say this time.
Whether the plan will work or not, let Wu Wei go and talk to the Eagle King's faction.
Zheng Ya took a sip of fragrant tea and said with a lingering taste, "Secondly, Wu Wei wants to act as our underground envoy for transactions with the Eagle King's faction, which is acceptable."
However, there is a prerequisite.
Wu Wei must become independent and from now on stay within her fortress, forbidden to go anywhere else, for a period of ten years.
"Hey, that's a divisive tactic, no, not entirely correct."
By sowing discord between Wu Wei and the Eagle King's faction, they can prevent Wu Wei from causing any trouble and fostering mutual suspicion. Over time, this will lead to estrangement and make Wu Wei easier to control.
Isolating Wu Wei also serves as an explanation to the Ning Prince's faction for the unexpected pregnancy, ensuring that Wu Wei is pregnant with your child, suppressing the status and role of the Ning Prince's marriage partner, and giving them a glimmer of hope.
In this way, the marriage partner can deceive the Prince of Ning's faction by conceiving a fake child, appease the Prince of Ying's faction, and at the same time win back the marriage partner's heart. It's a win-win situation. Fu Qingyao became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke, feeling that controlling Wu Wei was not a difficult task.
Imprisoning Wu Wei will save a lot of trouble.
She can finally relax.
Little did they know that Zheng Ya smiled wickedly and once again made an outrageous demand: "Third, if Wu Wei wants to gain my trust, she must complete a task for me."
"Uh, you're worried about her, aren't you?" Fu Qingyao could tell that this kid was quite annoyed with Wu Wei.
I've only tolerated Wu Wei's existence because of her being my mother.
Otherwise, they might have already killed Wu Wei.
This is a real headache!
Zheng Ya nodded slightly, tacitly agreeing: "The task I gave her was to persuade the Eagle King's lineage to purchase more than 10,000 sets of the Five Elements War Puppet components from me..."
"What? How many points do I need?" Xu Qi couldn't help but exclaim in surprise. This is robbery!
Fu Qingyao was stunned and speechless. Zheng Ya smiled and said, "Not much, eighty thousand a set..."
"What? A set of five elements components for a battle puppet costs 80,000. Ten thousand sets would cost 800 million points. Are the aristocratic families willing to waste that kind of money?" Xu Qi felt that he was being a bit delusional.
With these 800 million points, you can purchase rare and precious materials to cultivate a group of elite talents. Why waste them on battle puppets?
Battle puppets, being high-level consumables, are mostly purchased to protect the safety of legitimate sons and daughters.
Because battle puppets never betray you until they die, are easy to carry, can be stored in storage space, and can be summoned to fight with a thought when needed, there are not many people who buy the five elements components of battle puppets.
The battle puppet is useful and practical, that's for sure, but it's ridiculously expensive. Those who are willing to buy it have plenty of money, while those who are short of money can't afford it.
Scamming a powerful family into buying 800 million worth of War Puppet Five Elements components is like treating them like suckers to be slaughtered.
After regaining her senses, Fu Qingyao shook her head in rejection: "Your money-grabbing method won't work. They won't be stupid enough to waste 800 million points on a bunch of junk..."
"Who said it's junk?"
"Mom, didn't you also achieve peak sixth-tier strength using scrap materials?" Zheng Ya said meaningfully. Fu Qingyao exclaimed thoughtfully, "You want to tell them about the ability to mass-produce sixth-tier ability users? No, that's too dangerous..."
"Mom, if I told you that the sixth-tier ability users I created would never resist my will again, would you still say it's dangerous?" Zheng Ya revealed an objective fact.
Originally, the five elements of the battle puppet were only used to assemble battle puppets, replace damaged parts of battle puppets, or process as materials, and had no other use.
However, Zheng Ya could plan and implant the five elements components of the battle puppet into the corresponding five elements parts of the human body, thus replacing the battle puppet's physique, which was cheating in itself.
While this method limits a person's future achievements, let's not forget that the vast majority of people with superpowers will never reach the peak of the sixth rank even if they spend their entire lives doing so.
Once Zheng Ya uses the five elements components of the battle puppet to strengthen it to the sixth level, whether it extends lifespan by thousands of years or instantly elevates combat power to the highest level, these are things that the vast majority of superpowered individuals dream of.
Once this news spreads, who knows how many superhumans will flock to join us.
However, it cannot be denied that 80,000 points is a wealth that most people cannot afford.
But it's not a big deal for aristocratic families.
This was a sure-fire deal, but Fu Qingyao felt her head buzzing, a little confused, and a little painful: "Are you trying to pull a fast one? Won't something bad happen?"
"No mistakes will be made."
"This belongs to me..." Zheng Ya wanted to explain, but Fu Qingyao raised her hand to stop him: "You only need to know how to control the war puppets."
Do you think I'd worry that you'd harm me or my own people?
"Alright then, thank you for your trouble, Mom, to make the trip to Wuwei's place." Zheng Ya, on the contrary, was impatient and got up to urge them on.
Fu Qingyao rolled her eyes: "You're always causing trouble for me, do I owe you anything?"
Despite his reluctance, his body language betrayed him as he walked out.
Zheng Ya and Xu Qi had just seen their mother off when they were greeted by an envoy sent by Prince Ning. They met in the living room for tea: "Does Prince Ning have any instructions?"
"Prince Ning sent me to urge the marriage..." the envoy said, putting down his teacup. Zheng Ya raised his hand to stop him: "I know what Prince Ning means, but I'm worried that the marriage alliance will anger the Eagle King's faction. Does Prince Ning have any way to prevent this?"
"Are you planning to back out of the engagement, or are you trying to play both sides?" the envoy stood up and retorted angrily. Zheng Ya remained seated: "I have a business deal to make..."
"Don't even think about it. Haven't you had enough of ripping us off? Now you want to start a war?" The envoy directly objected, making the stance of the Prince of Ning's faction clear...
