Chapter 275 Krypton Gold Warrior
Chapter 275: The Pay-to-Win Warrior
Zhang Chi had already prepared lines for Zi Mian, but he didn't plan on using them right from the start for this particular part.
The most important aspect of the script he arranged was for it to be harmonious and natural. Everyone present was experienced, and he didn't want anyone to suspect him of intentionally setting traps.
If Miao Renlong confronted him, he would fight back. That would be reasonable.
However, he only said this much and didn't continue on with the topic.
But the seed he planted with this remark was enough to spark associations in people's minds.
The most important thing about this sentence was that it gave Western Emperor an inspiration.
She could only clear her own suspicions by labeling others as villains.
"The Master is right. If we talk about interests, the Ten Thousand Spirit Cave and the Dragon Transformation Palace may not be unrelated.
As we all know, the Dragon Transformation Palace and the Ten Thousand Spirit Cave have been competing for the fourth position within the Western State Alliance. If Ao Long were to disappear within the Dragon Transformation Palace's territory, the Dragon Transformation Palace would inevitably face a calamity. At that time, wouldn't the Ten Thousand Spirit Cave be worry-free?"
As the guardian of the sea route in the Western Emperor Palace, Western Emperor was naturally well-informed. Unlike the Black Emperor Palace, which had limited access to information, Western Emperor placed great importance on intelligence.
Thanks to this, she was able to confidently and logically shift the blame onto the Ten Thousand Spirit Cave at this moment.
And it made sense.
As the saying goes, "If you want to add a crime, there is no lack of evidence."
She had already decided to make the Ten Thousand Spirit Cave the scapegoat and then found a reason for it. As long as it was plausible, she could throw this dirty water.
Unless "Zhen Shan" explicitly stated that she was the one who plotted against Ao Long, but judging from the current situation, not to mention whether "Zhen Shan" knew the specific details, even if he did, with the Ten Thousand Spirit Cave's attitude, he might not speak up.
Sure enough, when Western Emperor questioned the Ten Thousand Spirit Cave, "Zhen Shan" didn't say a word.
Miao Renlong's face immediately darkened, especially when Ao Mo and Long Yi looked at him with suspicious eyes, he felt even more wronged.
He never expected that things could turn out like this!
He had thought of doing this a long time ago, so why would he have to bear this blame?
The look in Ao Mo's eyes was truly murderous!
"Are you saying that I captured Princess Sea Sovereign based on these groundless speculations?
Although the Ten Thousand Spirit Cave's power is weak, we wouldn't allow others to bully and trample on us like this!"
Miao Renlong's words were not bad. Evidence must be presented in everything. After all, the Ten Thousand Spirit Cave was a force with a Dao Integration expert. It was impossible to determine the guilt of the Ten Thousand Spirit Cave based solely on suspicion without any evidence.
Venerable Fuhu also immediately spoke up, saying, "Indeed, I hope Junior Brother Zhen Shan will take responsibility for what he said."
The meaning of this threat was quite clear, but under Zhang Chi's instruction, Zi Mian chose to ignore it.
"There's no need for idle talk. My secret technique has already pointed out the direction. Follow me!"
Hearing is false, seeing is believing.
No matter how perfect his arguments were, no matter how much Ao Mo trusted him, it would be useless to throw more dirt on Miao Renlong without substantial evidence.
So he didn't need to say much. While Miao Renlong was still unaware of the trap, he led them to the scene.
On the way, Zhang Chi instructed Zi Mian to control the other puppet avatars to meet with "Zhen Shan" without any concealment, completing the transfer of the treasure openly. He also stated that if any of the other puppets were being tracked, he would not continue to lead the way.
Helpless, Miao Renlong and Venerable Fuhu had to suppress their greed and let Zi Mian's puppet take away the treasure.
At this point, if they wanted to find the other avatars of "Zhen Shan" and retrieve the treasure, it would be like finding a needle in a haystack.
Gu Youyou didn't expect the solution to be so simple. She thought Zhang Chi had prepared a particularly clever plan, but it turned out to be easily achieved.
Fortunately, she didn't make a bet with Zhang Chi. After losing so many times, she had become smarter.
To be safe, the puppet carrying the treasure changed hands several times, avoiding people's attention as much as possible. After repeatedly changing hands, Gu Youyou finally regained control of her body and personally went to retrieve the storage ring. Then she quietly returned to Zi Mian's residence.
Even if someone was tracking them, they would lose track after several transfers. The final handover was completed by Gu Youyou, ensuring the highest level of safety.
Looking at the ten treasures in hand, Zhang Chi's favorite was still the Sea Spirit Pearl.
This treasure was easy to carry and didn't attract attention. It could be hidden on the body and used when needed, then hidden again.
As long as it wasn't exposed in front of others, no one could connect him to the true and good.
As for the other treasures, Zhang Chi decided to give them to Zi Mian as he saw fit.
The Undersea Flame Ice Stone and the Thousand-Year Ice Crystal Stone were both excellent materials for artifact refining, but their properties were too special. If Zhang Chi used them to refine his own weapons, he could definitely create excellent divine weapons.
However, using such weapons would expose him.
It was better to give them to Zi Mian.
She also contributed, and her contributions should not go unrewarded.
Therefore, Zhang Chi entrusted these two risky artifact refining materials to Zi Mian.
Zhang Chi couldn't use them, but Zi Mian could use them to create puppets. Even if the puppets were exposed, it wouldn't matter.
As far as Zhang Chi knew, the strength of Zi Mian's puppets was directly proportional to the quality of the artifact refining materials used. The better the materials, the stronger the puppets' combat power.
When Zi Mian was still at Stormwind Tower, she became one of the Masked Assassins because her puppets were powerful. Each one was at the peak of the Divine Soul level and had special abilities comparable to Divine Ability.
Because of this, she truly possessed the combat power of the Divine Ability level.
However, when Stormwind Tower was destroyed, although she managed to hide herself, her puppets were all damaged. It would be difficult for her to gather such good materials and create well-refined puppets in a short period of time, so her combat power naturally declined.
It could be said that Zi Mian was actually a "pay-to-win" warrior.
The more money she spent, the higher her combat power would be.
Zi Mian also didn't expect that Zhang Chi would give her such good artifact refining materials. These were materials that even Dao Integration experts would be tempted by, with lifespans of thousands of years.
If she used these to refine puppets, she estimated that she could create puppets with the true Divine Ability Realm.
"You...really giving them to me?"
"Could they be fake? But don't get too excited yet. These things can't see the light of day. They're perfect for you to refine your clones. Besides these two puppets, everything else is yours. Give your puppets some good equipment!"
Speaking of this, Zi Mian blushed a little.
She was indeed a bit poor, but being a puppet master really burned through money!
"Thank you."
"What did you call me?"
"Thank you, Master..."
Zi Mian blushed, but she didn't actually resist calling him "Master."
She just felt embarrassed to say it herself, as if she had developed a liking for this coerced feeling.
Looking at Zi Mian, whose face was unusually flushed and her eyes shimmering, Zhang Chi couldn't help but feel that this little maid was a bit abnormal.
But it didn't matter. She was just a little servant, and even if she was abnormal, it wouldn't have much of an impact.
While the master and servant were dividing the spoils, the puppet Zhen Shan had already arrived at the scene set up by Zhang Chi...
