When Huaiyan finished his speech, Jing Yuan immediately took over, standing in front of the cameras in Huaiyan's place to explain matters regarding the Wardance Ceremony to the audience. Meanwhile, Huaiyan took the opportunity to pull Fu Zhu and the others into a blind spot away from the filming.
Xing glanced at the distant Jing Yuan, who was smiling and chatting freely, then glanced at the [Yamato] in Fu Zhu's hand.
"General Huaiyan, will this really not give the game away? Even if we deceive the Borisin, what if the winner of the Wardance gets the prize later and finds out the goods don't match the description?"
Huaiyan, however, stroked his white beard with a beaming smile, pretending not to understand.
"Is Little Friend Xing misunderstanding something? This old man never said from start to finish that the [Yamato] serving as the prize could open spatial passages like Little Friend Fu Zhu's can. Moreover, Little Friend Fu Zhu is an Envoy; many people know this. Those who have doubts about the prize, upon seeing the [Yamato] used by Little Friend Fu Zhu, will simply think it is a difference in strength."
Xing and March 7th were stunned into silence by the 'petty calculations' of an adult. Their mouths hung slightly open, utterly impressed that Huaiyan could say such black-hearted words while maintaining the appearance of a kind old grandfather.
Xing couldn't help but 'shiver', hugging herself tightly. "So scary. Is this the adult underworld? Mommy, I don't want to grow up!"
March 7th reached out to gently stroke her head, grinning mischievously.
"There, there. You'll have to grow up sooner or later. Getting exposure to it in advance is good for you too."
Xing slapped March 7th's hand off her head in annoyance.
"March, you're not my mommy."
March 7th wasn't annoyed at having her hand slapped away and kept smiling.
"As the saying goes, 'Eldest Sister is like a Mother', and I am your Sister-in-law (Saozi), which is equal to your Elder Sister. Zhang jie ru mu, so I am approximately equal to your Adoptive Mother!"
"Hiss..."
Xing looked at March 7th with a horrified expression, raising a hand to press against March's forehead in disbelief.
"When did you secretly grow a brain behind my back? What happened to being the silly duo of the Express? You suddenly became smart; how am I supposed to slack off now?"
March 7th rolled her eyes furiously, turning her head away to ignore her.
"Alright, let's talk business. Stop messing around."
Fu Zhu spoke up in time to interrupt their banter. Only then did Xing and March 7th straighten up. Xing couldn't help raising her hand to ask, "General Huaiyan, since we already know the Borisin's plan in advance, why don't we just go and catch them all in one net?"
Huaiyan didn't answer but looked at Fu Zhu with a smile, seemingly wanting him to answer, or perhaps wanting to hear how he thought about this question.
Receiving Huaiyan's look, Fu Zhu naturally began to explain it to his sworn sister.
"Xing, although we know their plan, we can't be sure if the enemy is gathered in one place. As long as there is a single fish that slips through the net, it's possible for them to cause harm to the civilians of the Luofu. We can't gamble with those Borisin on this point."
"Understood."
After explaining it to Xing, Fu Zhu looked at Huaiyan. "Elder Yan, what do you plan to do next?"
Huaiyan stroked his beard and said calmly, "To attract prey to take the bait, naturally, we need sufficient bait, as well as an environment that allows the prey to relax. If we cannot kill them in one strike, the timid prey might shrink back into its dark and damp hole."
Xing listened to Huaiyan's words and nodded in partial understanding, then covered her mouth with one hand and whispered to Fu Zhu and March 7th, "Truly an old senior; he scolds people without using dirty words."
Who knew that just as she finished complaining, Huaiyan would turn his head the next second to look at her with a beaming smile. Stared at by him, Xing felt a shiver run down her spine and silently pulled March 7th in front of her to block his view. She felt the old General's gaze was harboring malicious intent.
"Little Friend Xing, could I trouble you for a favor?"
Xing poked her head out from behind March 7th and asked weakly, "General, you don't intend to let me go act as the bait, do you?"
"No mistake."
Xing shook her chin desperately to refuse.
"No go, no go. Is it really okay to let someone else go for such an important matter? What if I mess it up?"
"Xing, you are currently the most suitable candidate."
This wasn't said by Huaiyan, but by Fu Zhu. Xing didn't question Fu Zhu's statement; instead, she looked at him with intrigue.
"Old Bro, do you have some 'Upper, Middle, and Lower Strategies' again?"
Huaiyan also looked at Fu Zhu, interested in the 'Upper, Middle, and Lower Strategies' Xing mentioned.
"Oh? Does Little Friend Fu Zhu have any good suggestions?"
Seeing everyone looking at his family, and wanting to resolve this chaos quickly so he could go do other things and stop being watched, Fu Zhu didn't hide it.
"Elder Yan, I'll embarrass myself then. If there is anything inappropriate in the plan, please point it out, Elder Yan."
Fu Zhu's modest behavior made Xing rub her arms in discomfort, complaining to March 7th, "First time seeing Old Bro being so modest. Doesn't look like him at all."
March 7th giggled and said, "Maintaining humility in front of an elder is a form of etiquette. You should learn a bit!"
While the two were whispering, Fu Zhu laid out the three strategies he had calculated in his mind.
"Lower Strategy: Let the Nameless go first and be beaten into the Borisin group by that Borisin spy, acting from the inside and outside to guide the Borisin to actively jump into our trap."
"Middle Strategy: Since they want to save Hulei, then we take out Hulei first, then have someone disguise themselves as Hulei, and then lie in ambush to catch them off guard."
"Upper Strategy: Previously, I discovered that Borisin have a hard time resisting the temptation of the [Bone]. Why don't we just take the [Bone] and go find the Borisin directly? We can just tame them all right then and there, and then gather them up and eliminate them all."
After listening to Fu Zhu's Upper, Middle, and Lower strategies, Huaiyan nodded in appreciation.
Although there were still imprudent aspects to Fu Zhu's three strategies, for him to come up with these three in such a short time was already outstanding. However, what puzzled him was why [Bones] were used in the plan recommended as the Upper Strategy?
Although Borisin were similar to wolves, they were not the same species. Even for wolves or dogs, it was impossible for their attention to be attracted by a bone when encountering an enemy.
Huaiyan couldn't figure it out, so he simply voiced the doubt in his heart.
"Little Friend Fu Zhu, in your Upper Strategy, why must you use a bone? Are you perhaps looking down on the Borisin a bit too much?"
Fu Zhu directly took out a [Bone] from his backpack and tossed it to Huaiyan. Huaiyan reached out to catch it, glanced at the bone in his hand, and from the appearance, it looked more like the leg bone of some creature.
Holding a rigorous attitude, Huaiyan moved closer to sniff it. The smell was no different from an ordinary bone. What did he rely on to achieve the hooking of Borisin?
Could it be that the Borisin species had undergone some mutation in recent years and had a fanatical love for bones?
"Old General Yan, allow me to explain this matter."
Just as Huaiyan was still sizing up the bone in his hand with a bewildered face, Jing Yuan, who had finished recording the video, walked over leading Feixiao, Huaiyan, and Yanqing.
As soon as Feixiao and the others came over and saw this old General holding a bone and studying it, they also revealed looks of curiosity. Coincidentally, Jing Yuan, who had walked over with them, shifted his gaze to Fu Zhu.
Jing Yuan smiled and pointed from a distance at the root bone held in Huaiyan's hand.
"That bone isn't an ordinary bone. If I'm not mistaken, it should be a type of magical item belonging to Little Friend Fu Zhu, right?"
Jing Yuan cast a confident, inquiring gaze at Fu Zhu. Fu Zhu nodded, and the smile at the corner of Jing Yuan's mouth grew wider.
"Before this, Xing used this root bone to tame a Borisin that accidentally broke free from its restraints during transport. This happened before the investigation, so I hadn't had time to tell you yet, General Yan."
After speaking, Jing Yuan clapped his hands. Immediately, several Cloud Knights walked over bringing two Borisin. Huaiyan, Feixiao, and the others turned to look and were surprised to find that the Cloud Knights had not placed any restrictions on those two Borisin, and the two Cloud Knights walking in front even boldly exposed their defenseless backs to the Borisin behind them.
One of the Borisin, after walking over and seeing Xing standing in the crowd, immediately rushed over. Then, under the stunned gazes of the crowd, it squatted in front of Xing like a dog, sticking out its tongue.
Seeing it, Xing also giggled and reached out to rub the wolf's head, then extended her hand.
"Good dog, shake hands."
The Borisin obediently extended its claw and placed it on Xing's hand.
Seeing this scene, Feixiao couldn't sit still anymore. She looked at Fu Zhu with burning eyes.
"Fu Zhu, this bone... can it be mass-produced?"
A tool capable of taming Borisin... this was especially important for the Xianzhou Alliance, and for the Xianzhou Yaoqing!
Even the knowledgeable Feixiao was a bit impatient at this moment.
"Mass production..."
Fu Zhu pondered slightly, then gave an affirmative answer.
"Yes."
The main source of [Bones] in MC was naturally to go kill Skeletons (Xiao Bai). Although it couldn't be as high-yield as the Gold Farm and Iron Farm, the output of a Mob Grinder was definitely sufficient. However, if he wanted to make a deal with the Xianzhou Yaoqing, he certainly wouldn't use that method.
Using the System's conversion ability, he could have them provide him with a large amount of ordinary bones. He only needed to collect and extract them to complete the conversion between real objects and MC items. In the short term, the efficiency was definitely higher than farming inside the Mob Grinder honestly.
Hearing that it could be mass-produced, Feixiao immediately slammed the table.
"Fu Zhu, can we of the Xianzhou Yaoqing make a deal with you? The content of the deal is this kind of bone of yours that can tame and attract Borisin. You can name the price."
Standing beside her, Jing Yuan and Huaiyan heard Feixiao make such a decision and weren't surprised. Instead, they also proposed a transaction application to Fu Zhu.
"If possible, the Xianzhou Luofu also needs this item."
" The Xianzhou Zhuming is the same."
Fu Zhu agreed without hesitation.
"Sure, but I don't need money. Moreover, I hope you will provide the raw materials."
"No need for money?" x3
Jing Yuan was the first to react, asking in return, "Then you need something else?"
"Yes, I hope the three Xianzhou ships can provide technical assistance to a planet."
Hearing this, Xing was the first to react. Somewhat surprised, she hesitated to speak.
"Old Bro, you can't be talking about Jarilo-VI, right?"
Fu Zhu glanced at Xing. She should have guessed why he was doing this, so he nodded generously and admitted it.
"Yeah, that's right."
March 7th and Dan Heng, knowing that Fu Zhu wanted to get the three ships to aid Jarilo-VI, couldn't help but reveal looks of surprise. But they could understand; after all, they had many friends on Jarilo-VI. Fu Zhu helping out was also a truly decent thought.
"Alright, the Luofu agrees to this proposal."
Jing Yuan was the first to agree. Fu Zhu was the Luofu's great benefactor; the Luofu owed him many favors. This condition was naturally no problem, not to mention the Luofu could also obtain a divine artifact specifically for dealing with Borisin. It was an absolute steal (Blood Profit)!
"The Xianzhou Yaoqing also agrees to this proposal."
"The Zhuming also agrees."
After Jing Yuan expressed his stance, Feixiao and Huaiyan closely followed suit.
Fu Zhu also breathed a sigh of relief. The Luofu agreeing was within his expectations, but he hadn't expected the Zhuming and Yaoqing to agree as well.
Originally, he had been a bit worried. After all, although the [Bone] could deal with Borisin, it had limitations. Compared to the technical assistance of three Xianzhou ships, it obviously seemed a bit lacking. The reason they would agree was probably partly because of himself.
"Thanks."
Reasonably speaking, they were all worthy of this thank you.
Fu Zhu directly took out the only two sets of [Bones] he had in his backpack. "I don't have many bones on hand now, but it's more than enough to deal with the few Borisin on the Luofu."
Fu Zhu handed both sets of bones to Jing Yuan, then said to Feixiao, "Later, you only need to provide me with ordinary bones, and I can manufacture the special bones capable of dealing with Borisin."
"Easy to say."
Jade, who was at the side, seeing that the deal between them had been reached, spoke up in time to remind them.
"Then regarding the matter of the Borisin... how do we arrange it? Should I go be the bait?"
Huaiyan looked at her with some surprise. "Little Friend Xing is agreeing to it?"
Xing crossed her arms, the corners of her mouth curling into a smile.
"The Nameless are duty-bound."
Saying this, she winked at Fu Zhu. She wasn't stupid; she could naturally figure out that this deal was actually Fu Zhu making a massive profit. Since she had taken advantage of someone, she naturally had to help with this small favor, not to mention they were the warm-hearted Nameless!
"Then this old man will thank Little Friend Xing on behalf of the common people. When the time comes, I ask everyone from the Astral Express to help deal with the rescue squad heading to the Shackling Prison. Feixiao will be responsible for the Borisin waiting to receive them outside."
Huaiyan roughly explained the arrangement to everyone. The Wardance Ceremony was imminent. The group didn't plan to wait for the Borisin to start moving on their own. Instead, they planned to let the undercover agent spread a false message, forcing the Borisin to start their operation ahead of time.
As for Jing Yuan's job, Huaiyan didn't arrange it, but Jing Yuan himself was clear that he should do it. Since the Borisin could sneak into the Shackling Prison, there must be a mole within the Luofu. His mission was to drag that mole out.
After listening to Huaiyan's arrangement, Fu Zhu rubbed his chin and tentatively suggested, "Really not going to consider my 'Upper Strategy'? Clicking directly isn't good?"
Huaiyan replied with a chuckle, "If Little Friend Fu Zhu can guarantee that no common people will be hurt, then you may do as you please."
Anyway, the ones dying would be Borisin. He wouldn't feel heartache at all; instead, he would only feel delighted!
Fu Zhu snapped his fingers, a smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.
"Do as I please? You said it."
Jing Yuan, on the side, suddenly furrowed his brows. This dialogue... seemed vaguely familiar!
