Chapter 438 Preliminary Intent for Cooperation

"Now, do you believe it?"

Yu Zhun was initially surprised, then looked at Xue Jiajia, who had an anxious expression, with a half-smile.

"I don't care, you just said you're the dungeon designer anyway." Xue Jiajia snorted. "I'm missing a piece, and I just can't get it."

"If you don't find one for me, I'll eliminate you right now."

"As expected of the strongest divine son recognized by the three divine regions after Ji Chen's silence." Yu Zhun was not intimidated by the other party's words at all. He clapped his hands and said with a half-smile, "What a great display of power."

"The piece you're missing, I can tell you right now where it is."

“But…” Yu Zhun paused slightly, “I don’t recommend that you enter the Tower of Eternal Sleep now.”

"Because the lamentations there can lull people into a deep sleep, and only by constantly killing players or dungeon monsters can one stay awake."

"But the higher you go, the fewer monsters there are in the dungeon."

"So if you go in now, you'll become the only player team that can be attacked by the twin gods."

At this point, Yu Zhun paused, "Of course, with your abilities, you should be able to keep those two in check, and there's no danger."

"But you yourself also need to kill other players to stay alert, so I suggest you take it easy."

"Wouldn't it be better to wait until more people get in before making a decision?"

After saying that, Yu Zhun casually tossed all the lyre fragments that he and the others had obtained during this period to Xue Jiajia.

"In addition, the lyre fragments are only found here. Piecing them together to form a complete lyre is the key to a perfect victory."

"The Tower of Eternal Sleep is a path of no return. Once you reach a higher level, you cannot return to a lower level, nor can you return here."

"So, are you still planning to rush in there?"

“You…” Xue Jiajia’s expression changed slightly.

Although she couldn't be sure whether Yu Zhun was telling the truth or not, Yu Zhun did describe the situation inside the instance in great detail.

Even though it's everyone's first time here...

With this in mind, Xue Jiajia had an idea.

"Get me the last clip first!"

"No problem." Yu Zhun nodded with a smile. "You want to verify whether what I said is true through this method?"

"as you wish."

After speaking, Yu Zhun turned and walked a distance, bypassing one "Land of Sorrow" after another, and finally stood in front of a certain area.

"There is a chance that it will appear in the area ahead."

"Really?" Seeing Yu Zhun so relaxed and carefree, Xue Jiajia's face was full of disbelief. She casually waved her hand, and the two of them followed her into the dungeon, quickly starting to kill dungeon monsters in rhythm.

Xue Jiajia kept a close eye on Yu Zhun the whole time, wanting to see what tricks he was going to play, but Yu Zhun kept his hands behind his back with a calm smile.

Soon, the song ended.

The person who killed the enemy rushed out excitedly, holding the newly appeared fragment number 9. "Sir, it really is the one we've been missing!"

Yu Zhun couldn't help but be taken aback.

Even if the location is found, the appearance of number 9 is a probability event.

He had already prepared his explanation for what would happen when other scenes appeared, but he didn't expect this special "Land of Elegy" to be so effective.

However, this makes it even more convincing.

Yu Zhun smiled faintly as he looked at Xue Jiajia, who was staring in disbelief.

"So, do you believe me now?"

"You...you really..." Xue Jiajia stammered, her eyes filled with shock and confusion.

In the eyes of other servers, the top 100 god-level servers are the most powerful servers, but in the eyes of the top three god-level servers, apart from those who control another 5A dungeon, all others, including the fourth god-level server, are inferior servers.

As a noble former Goddess of the Three Divine Districts, what kind of situation hasn't Xue Jiajia seen?

She had never seen such a scene before.

Although she claimed to believe that Yu Zhun was the designer, Xue Jiajia didn't actually believe it at all. She just intended to use it as an excuse to find fault and steal the fragments from Yu Zhun.

But now, Yu Zhunzhen has confirmed that he is the designer of the copy.

For a moment, Xue Jiajia's mind was in a mess.

Her mind, which was already unusually straightforward for a divine child, completely shut down at this moment, her small mouth slightly open for a long time, not knowing what to say.

Seeing her like this, Yu Zhun knew his chance had come.

"It seems you now believe I'm the designer of this dungeon," Yu Zhun chuckled. "So, do you want a perfect first clear?"

"Of course I want to!" Xue Jiajia nodded without hesitation. "As long as I can get a perfect first clear of this dungeon, I can..."

Huh?and many more!

Xue Jiajia glanced at Yu Zhun, and an idea suddenly popped into her not-so-clear mind.

Why did she want to achieve a perfect first clear of this dungeon?
The reason is that the teacher said this dungeon shouldn't have been a level 90 dungeon, but it has become one. There might be some secret hidden inside, and a perfect first clear will reveal that secret.

The dungeon designer is right in front of us, otherwise…

"Just tell me the secret hidden behind the dungeon!"

Xue Jiajia spoke without hesitation, secretly pleased with herself.

We don't even need a travel guide, isn't that wonderful?
Yu Zhun's expression immediately turned strange.

He suddenly began to doubt whether his decision to consult with this guy was the right one.

"You'll know the secrets behind the dungeon once you've perfectly cleared it." Yu Zhun shook his head slightly. "Besides, even if I told you now, would you really believe me?"

“That’s true.” Xue Jiajia nodded slightly. “In that case, tell me how to get a perfect score.”

"Oh, right." She suddenly remembered something, "When you said you wanted to cooperate with me, you weren't referring to Perfect World's first-time sales, were you?"

"What kind of cooperation is this, a perfect first clear of a dungeon?" Yu Zhun shook his head and chuckled, then his expression became slightly serious. "Have the people around you leave first. I only want to talk to you."

"No!" Xue Jiajia's teammates, who were standing right next to her, spoke up at the same time, their eyes turning wary as they looked at Yu Zhun.

"You can all go down now," Xue Jiajia waved her hand. "Am I not strong enough to handle the five of them on my own?"

Hearing Xue Jiajia's incredibly confident words, Yu Zhun smiled but remained silent.

Although Xue Jiajia's teammates were somewhat reluctant, they had no choice but to leave temporarily after Xue Jiajia spoke up.

After everyone left, Xue Jiajia looked at Yu Zhun and said, "Speak."

What exactly do you want to collaborate on?

Yu Zhun didn't speak directly, but looked Xue Jiajia up and down, and suddenly said, "If I'm not mistaken, you're not far from the third stage."

"Pretty much," Xue Jiajia said casually. "My teacher said that if I refine my approach, I might reach an even higher level in the future."

"Another purpose of my trip is to refine the road."

"After all, you can't just keep working behind closed doors."

After saying that, Xue Jiajia glanced at Yu Zhun and showed a smug expression, "You still haven't found the way? How about I give you some pointers?" "No need." Yu Zhun shook his head, both amused and exasperated.

Talking to Xue Jiajia is so easy; she'll steer the conversation to other topics in just a few sentences. It's easy for most people to be led astray.

“You are now a high-ranking god-child of the top three god zones, but after you reach the third level, things won’t be as easy as they are now,” Yu Zhun said calmly. “After all, all the third-level powerhouses have to enter the 5A dungeon.”

"Therefore, the advantage of the top three god zones independently controlling a 5A dungeon is almost negligible for you."

Upon hearing this, Xue Jiajia's expression froze slightly.

She was naturally aware of this.

Once you reach the third tier, you'll have to compete with other third-tier powerhouses from within the Divine Demon Palace and other forces of all sizes. The advantage of the top three divine zones is almost nonexistent. In fact, because they've been improving without danger in the 5A dungeons under their control, they're more likely to suffer losses once they leave.

Xue Jiajia doesn't want to think about these things for now, but that doesn't mean these situations won't occur in the future.

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Xue Jiajia couldn't help but ask.

"Your teacher must be that supreme expert at the ninth level of divine transformation in the Second Divine District, right?" Yu Zhun said casually. "Having such a teacher can certainly provide you with a certain degree of protection."

"But ultimately, after the third job advancement, you'll still have to rely on yourself."

“There’s an old saying, ‘Prepare for a rainy day,’ so…” Yu Zhun paused slightly, a smile appearing in his eyes.

"Would you like to save up some resources for your future third job advancement?"

"Gather resources for third-tier advancement?" After hearing Yu Zhun's analysis, Xue Jiajia was immediately intrigued. "How do we do that?"

"Let's do something big together." Yu Zhun grinned slightly.

"What do you think about wiping out the Fifth Divine District?"

"They destroyed the Fifth Divine District?!"

Xue Jiajia's eyes widened immediately. "Are you crazy?"

Although it cannot compare to the Second Divine District, the Fifth Divine District is quite powerful. For one thing, its strongest members are at the eighth level of divine transformation, and the total number of third-level experts is close to one thousand.

Is this something they can just wipe out as they please?

Yu Zhun didn't answer, but just said to himself, "That's an entire divine region, it's incredibly lucrative. If we wipe them out, even a small portion of the spoils would be enough to sustain us for a long time during our third transformation stage, right?"

"This..." Upon hearing this, Xue Jiajia immediately felt that it made sense...

What a ghost!
"You'll have to be able to wipe them out first!" Xue Jiajia couldn't help but roll her eyes. "How about you kill an eighth-stage Divine Transformation cultivator and show me?"

"Don't rush," Yu Zhun chuckled. "Although I am the planner, it doesn't mean I will personally eliminate the enemy."

"After all, the opponent's strength is undeniable."

"You even know that!" Xue Jiajia couldn't help but complain.

Immediately afterwards, she saw Yu Zhun pat Helmod on the shoulder.

“Although I am not strong enough, he is,” Yu Zhun said with a smile. “To be precise, it is the Fourth Divine District behind Helmod that is capable.”

"The Fourth Divine Region..." Xue Jiajia's eyes lit up, then dimmed again. "The Fourth Divine Region and the Fifth Divine Region are not much different in strength. If the two regions fight each other, they will most likely suffer heavy losses."

"When the Fifth Divine District is destroyed, the Fourth Divine District will also be crippled."

“Even if Helmod is a god, he doesn’t have such a big face.”

“What you’re saying is outdated,” Yu Zhun shook his head. “Now we have a new way to allow the Fourth Divine District to destroy the Fifth Divine District with minimal cost in this battle.”

The Heavenly Demon Pearl is the key that Yu Zhun plans to use to break the deadlock.

The third-tier powerhouses in the Fourth Divine Zone are mainly of the divine system. Divine system powerhouses cannot use the Heavenly Demon Pearl, but that doesn't mean they can't make some adjustments.

After all, the Fourth Divine District has gotten to know quite a few demonic third-tier powerhouses over the years. Even if that's not enough, Yu Zhun can still summon the Crimson Demon Lord.

All we need to do is have the Fourth God Zone pay the appearance fee.

As the planners and participants behind the scenes, Yu Zhun and his group were naturally able to get a share of the profits in this process.

As mentioned earlier, the Fifth God District is incredibly wealthy.

Even a tiny bit leaking through the fingers is enough.

"Is there really a way?" Xue Jiajia suddenly thought of something and her expression immediately lit up with excitement. "Is it your special formation for ten people?"

"Even a third-stage powerhouse can use that thing?"

“Not bad.” Yu Zhun nodded slightly. “A formation of ten people can cross a level of divine power, but that’s not all it has to offer.”

"As for the rest, you will naturally find out later."

"Alright then." Xue Jiajia nodded understandingly, then couldn't help but say, "But even if you could get the Fourth Divine District to destroy the Fifth Divine District..."

"What does this have to do with me?"

"This brings us to the First God District." Yu Zhun chuckled. "You should know the relationship between the Fifth God District and the First God District better than I do. The First God District cannot stand by and watch the Fifth God District be destroyed."

"At this point, the Second Divine District is needed to restrain them from the sidelines."

"At the very least, we must prevent the First God District from having a chance to make a move."

"...Huh?" Upon hearing Yu Zhun's words, Xue Jiajia's face immediately showed hesitation and conflict. "Should we take action to restrain the First God District?"

"The difference in strength between you two shouldn't be that great, right?" Yu Zhun said with a half-smile. "The Fifth Divine District is also a very important existence for the First Divine District."

“I have investigated carefully. Over the years, the Fifth Divine District has plundered various resources from other places, most of which have been given to the First Divine District in order to seek the protection of the First Divine District. It is an important source of resources for the First Divine District.”

"It can be said that without the Fifth Divine District, the First Divine District might not be as powerful as your Second Divine District."

"Therefore, with the destruction of the Fifth God District, the strength of the First God District will inevitably be affected in the short term." Yu Zhun paused slightly. "Although your three top God Districts jointly control a 5A instance, they are probably not in a harmonious and monolithic situation, are they?"

"So, do you want your world to become the number one god-tier region?"

Xue Jiajia's eyes were now filled with a spark of attraction.

Seeing the change in her expression, Yu Zhun knew the time was right, so he played his final card.

"The Second God District will take 40% of what it gained from the destruction of the Fifth God District."

"As for how much you can get, that depends on your own efforts."

"make a deal!"

Xue Jiajia spoke without hesitation, her eyes shining with excitement.

Fight for it yourself?

This collaboration was brought about by her, coupled with the teacher's consistent care for her and her status in the Second God District.

She can easily take a quarter of the 40% that the Second God Zone obtained!
That's one-tenth of all the resources in the Fifth Divine District!

With such a vast amount of resources, Xue Jiajia could already imagine the scene of her strength soaring in a short period of time after breaking through to the third stage!

Seeing Xue Jiajia agree immediately, Yu Zhun finally felt relieved, and a smile appeared on his face.

Although Xue Jiajia cannot represent the Second God District, as long as she agrees to cooperate, Yu Zhun can come up with a way to force the Second God District to get involved.

"Pleasant to work with."
