Chapter 26: Cooperation? Trade! 3

Translator: 549690339 |

“It depends on your choice.”

Link spoke lightly, completely unfazed by his intentions being punctured.

“Oh?”

Monroe became somewhat interested.

To be honest, if Elise wasn’t playing negotiator, he wouldn’t even contemplate seeing Link, let alone collaborating with him.

Yesterday, he saw the four announcements Link posted in the camp channel, saw the private messages between Elise and Link, and saw the similar information another comrade received later.

Monroe had noticed Link’s deep caution towards students from the North District, even those from the same camp.

How could he collaborate with someone who was suspicious?

There was no way to speak of cooperation in such a context.

Nevertheless, Elise insisted on meeting after receiving a private message from Link this morning.

This provided a basis for dialogue.

Monroe put aside his hostility and asked, “Can you elaborate?”

Link replied:

“If you are willing to conduct research and experiments, I can share some ideas with you. Of course, this is not free – it requires exchange for some valuable information or artifacts.

If you don’t want to do research or experiments, I can also share other ideas with you for free to help you deal with the opposition camp.”

“Interesting.”

Feeling Link’s confidence while speaking stirred Monroe’s interest, “I want both sets of ideas! Name your price!”

What did it mean when Monroe so boldly asked Link to name his price, looking ready to “pay” at any time?

It means Monroe Brisegio isn’t looking for cooperation, but transactions.

Cooperation creates bonds.

When it eventually came down to the wire and the camp won, and it was time to vie for personal achievements, it would be hard to backstab!

Pure transactions were better.

At that time, there would be no burden on his conscience, regardless of how ruthless or malevolent the methods used were.

Link caught onto Monroe’s intention immediately and was not in the least bit surprised.

Wasn’t he thinking the same way?

“I need some experimental equipment. Anything related to botany, zoology, or microbiology will help.”

Link began by stating his needs.

“No problem.”

Monroe waved his hand indifferently – the tycoon’s demeanor was fully on display. “I can provide you with a full set, as long as the ideas you provide are worth the cost.”

Link smiled and then, instead of beating around the bush, went straight to the point: “I wonder if you’ve found any ruins that describe the process and cause of this world’s impending destruction.

We discovered that this world once gave rise to a God Slayer, who waged a thousand-year-long war against the gods of this world.

In the end, the gods fell, humanity was annihilated, the origin of the world suffered a heavy blow, and it’s now on the brink of destruction.

This has caused the current imbalance in this world’s ecology and the emergence of various anomalies.

For example, this forest behind you is a manifestation of this.”

As he talked, Link kept a close watch on Monroe’s eyes and facial expression, trying to discern any reactions.

But Monroe kept his smile, revealing nothing.

A strong mentality with deep schemes.

Link gave up trying to see through Monroe’s intentions and threw out his real thoughts:

“The relationship between the ‘Save the World’ and ‘Destroy the World’ tasks are ultimately two sides of the same coin.

The crux of the opposition camp’s mission is to destroy first, then save.

While our mission, as the opposition, can be to destroy and save simultaneously.

I call this ‘Destructive Rescue’.”

After a pause, Link emphasized:

“As long as we destroy everything that needs to be destroyed before the opposition camp, we are sure to win.”

Take their road and leave them nowhere to go!
