Hearing Zhang Mu's answer, the silver-haired leader frowned slightly. He didn't know what Zhang Mu's plan was, but Zhang Mu's calm appearance and calm state of mind made him feel unsure. However, he could do nothing about Zhang Mu's current state of mind, so he smiled and asked, "Really?"
"I can only say that most of my abilities came from the Epoch Store. Are you willing to give up this safe way to increase your abilities? Besides, you have read the memory of an unlucky guy whose rank is unknown to me. You should know that there are a limited number of Epoch Merchant Agents. There are only five branches in a city. If one dies, there will naturally be a vacant position. This is your chance."
Even though Zhang Mu was being held in the air and couldn't move, he was still calm as always while talking to the person who held his life in his hands. His tone suddenly became relaxed, "Oh, I forgot to tell you that the Epoch Store will automatically select the nearest Evolver as a candidate. Think carefully. Now it should be a few days away from the death of the Epoch Agent you killed. Every second you hesitate, an Evolver may be summoned by the Epoch Store. You can doubt, but think about your quota. Do you still want it?"
The silver-haired leader's suspicion grew stronger and stronger. He slowly put Zhang Mu down and gave him a light shake, freeing him. Without even looking at him, he turned his back and said, "I have a question. Why do I have no memory of what you said? If you made it up, you should have done it with some quality."
Zhang Mu twisted his stiff neck with his hands. He had just regained control of his body and had not yet adapted to the situation. He had a feeling that the person in front of him might have run out of mental strength, but he did not dare to guarantee it, because Zhang Mu did not know whether this person was exactly the same as an ordinary mental evolver.
He now had a more reliable method, so he didn't want to gamble anymore. His voice became confident and loud, "No reason, because I am the top pick among the Jiyuan agents!"
"You devoured only a small merchant at the bottom of the list. You can see the difference between me, who is ranked first, and him, who is ranked fourth or fifth, from the priority selection rights of goods in the Epoch Store.
I know, he has no right to know, what is there to doubt?"
The silver-haired leader could not find any rebuttal to Zhang Mu's half-truthful words. The first one was indeed much more serious than the latter.
This is the truth since ancient times.
So after Zhang Mu said this, the doubts in his heart dissipated a little, but he still did not agree easily.
Seeing this, Zhang Mu calmed down and continued, "Besides, if you were really determined and sure that eating my brain and obtaining my memory would allow you to safely transform yourself into an agent of Jiyuan, you would have done it a long time ago.
But you didn't. You were afraid that after you devoured me, you would find out that what I told you was true. Without the recommendation of an existing Epoch Agent, you would not have any chance to directly obtain the position of Epoch Agent. You would surely regret it at that time."
The silver-haired leader slowly turned around, looked directly at Zhang Mu, and said with his white teeth, "I have one last question. If you can give me a satisfactory answer, I will believe you this time."
Zhang Mu motioned him to continue, so he stared into Zhang Mu's eyes and asked, "You just said that when there is a vacancy in the Epoch Store, it will automatically choose the nearest Evolver as a substitute. Then, I just need to stay by the Epoch Store, or kill all the Evolvers nearby and let them choose me, then I will be the only one who can get the status, right?"
Zhang Mu smiled dumbly, "I don't know if it's because the Epoch Store agent you ate was ranked too low in the order, so all he saw were mechanical lists and stuff. You don't think this Epoch Store really has no judgment at all, do you? If you do this, you will only be rejected by the Epoch Store and completely deprived of the qualification to step into the Epoch Store."
"Era Agent Merchants are mainly selected for personal reasons, but they can also be said to be chosen by God. After three days before the end of the world, he will only select randomly, not according to first come first served."
The silver-haired leader tried to find a hint of suspicious emotion in Zhang Mu's eyes, but not only did he not find any, but Zhang Mu's words were flawless, very logical, and his speaking speed was also very fast, which did not sound like random fabrication at all.
Seeing that the other party was silent in deep thought, Zhang Mu added, "If you don't believe me, you can go with me to the Jiyuan Store to have a look. I believe you have been there according to your memory, so why didn't you go in? If the method you said works.
I can tell you very clearly that if the Epoch Store does not choose you on its own, you don’t have me.
If you don’t have such an Epoch Agent as your referral, then even if you stay in hiding for your whole life, it will be impossible.”
Zhang Mu's words really touched the silver-haired leader's mind. It was not that he was afraid of Zhang Mu, but he knew Zhang Mu's full strength very clearly. Moreover, he could now verify that he was no match for him. He couldn't even summon his extremely domineering vines.
However, Zhang Mu was too calm, so calm that it was scary. Even though the silver-haired leader had changed his tone just now in order to deliberately provoke him, he still felt that Zhang Mu was extremely calm, and what had been alarmed was only the emotional fluctuations that he had deliberately created.
This kind of calmness was beyond his comprehension, and he even sensed a hint of danger, a danger that he had never experienced even in large groups of mutant beasts.
But there was no way out. It seemed that the truth might really be the same as what Zhang Mu said. Every second of delay would make the possibility of achieving his goal weaker. Moreover, he had indeed found the location of the Epoch Store according to his memory, but it was like a place that was obviously empty but already filled with things. He could not get in at all, and as soon as his mental power reached out, it was swallowed up completely.
After analyzing it for a while, the cautious man finally confirmed Zhang Mu's words from the bottom of his heart.
Anyway, he could give it a try first. If Zhang Mu lied, he could just kill him. Although he originally planned to kill Zhang Mu after getting the position of Epoch Agent, to see if he could seize his first-rank Epoch Agent status.
He felt that the brain of a smart man like Zhang Mu must be particularly delicious.
"Let's go. You lead the way. If I find anything inconsistent with what you said, I will use you as a snack tonight. It seems that I haven't eaten the meat of an evolver for a while.
Although I am still worried about whether my power will increase too quickly, I think it should be no problem for me to eat you alone."
"Okay, let's go. If you want to dawdle, I can't do anything about it."
Zhang Mu didn't care what the silver-haired leader thought and just turned around and left.
"You stay here." The silver-haired leader ordered the people behind him who dared not move at all.
Hearing the footsteps gradually catching up from behind, Zhang Mu's facial expression did not change at all, but he was still delighted.
Have you finally been fooled?
