Chapter 195 The Devil's Deal [Seeking Monthly Tickets]

As the captain of the Devil Team, Reinhardt is able to receive the message of "newcomer's arrival".

Although there's a very high probability that the annoying Zheng Zha will be in the Main God Space, he still plans to try his luck.

After all, Zheng Zha has certain quality requirements for newcomers. If they're not Asian and their quality is relatively poor... then it'll be his turn to lead them.

Furthermore, information about the next horror movie... is worth sharing.

Since the Legend of the Condor Heroes, the relationship between the two sides has actually eased to some extent.

Because, in the legend of gods and ghosts, as they were rolling around, they ended up pulling out the Dragon Emperor.

The Dragon Emperor is far too terrifying; there's no way to deal with him using brute force alone. Even following the plot-driven kill route from the original story would be extremely difficult!

However, failure to complete the mission would result in the deduction of one A-level side quest for everyone. Apart from Zheng Zha, no one in Zheng Zha's team could afford such a price.

Reinhardt's side... faced a similar situation.

Finally, at Chu Xuan's urging, Zheng Zha contacted Zhao Zhuikong and Reinhardt and proposed a temporary alliance.

In fact, Chu Xuan also proposed a "bait plan" to harm the other two parties. However, Zheng Zha, as the decision-maker, did not adopt it.

That's not in line with Zheng Zha's style. Since we're going to form an alliance, let's put aside our grudges and get through this difficult time first.

After careful consideration, Reinhardt and Zhao Zhuikong agreed to Chu Xuan's plan.

The three parties fought a pretty good battle. Relying on Reinhardt's immortality and dark flames, Zhao Zhuikong's inch-foot technique, and Zheng Zha's activation of the fourth-order gene lock at the crucial moment, he entered a state of inner demon transformation...

After suffering some casualties, they barely managed to complete the Dragon Emperor side quest using story items.

Of course, as a result, they didn't get anything extra.

The cultivation manuals that Chu Xuan was talking about, the Five Elements cultivation techniques on the Dragon Emperor's body... even the Fountain of Youth in Shangri-La, all returned to dust.

However, it's already quite remarkable that we survived.

After this incident, although the three parties continued to live their own lives, they also agreed to keep to themselves in the next Lord of the Rings adventure.

They were like three peacefully coexisting teams in a team battle, exchanging information with each other and then doing their own missions and side quests.

While they harbor mutual animosity and could potentially clash at any moment, their conflict has not reached the point of being irreconcilable.

Moreover, unlike Zheng Zha's faction which continues to grow, Reinhard's faction is also decreasing as expected, and will only become less and less of a threat over time.

"Yo, Reinhardt." Zheng Zha greeted him casually upon seeing him.

"...Looks like this is none of my business."

Reinhardt saw the bewildered Zhang Jie... He knew that his luck had indeed run out this time.

But since we've met again, why not propose some deals?

He smiled elegantly and said, "Do you want to know information about the next horror movie? You know, as the captain, I have that kind of information."

"Wait a moment... I need some means to determine its authenticity," Zheng Zha said cautiously, his body tense.

"Please go ahead." Reinhardt bowed slightly, like a true gentleman.

Unfortunately, Zheng Zha had already witnessed his fangs.

Zheng Zha told Luo Gandao to knock on Chu Xuan's door, while he remained seated, wary of Reinhardt.

Soon, Chu Xuan, whose hairstyle, clothes, and expression were all disheveled, appeared under the large ball of light and exchanged for an anti-fatigue potion to drink.

Reinhardt waited patiently and showed no signs of impatience.

This means that what he's about to say is really important... even Zheng Zha can realize that.

"Sorry to keep you waiting. What do we need to trade this time?" Chu Xuan's tone was calm.

"Here's some free information for you..."

Reinhardt grinned bloodthirstyly, revealing his fangs: "You guys spend a lot of time in the God's Space, so you must have seen what's on that stone tablet, right?" "The next horror movie is a team battle. In team battles, besides kill rewards, every kill or death within the team will count towards your score. The final score will be multiplied by two thousand as the settlement reward."

"So if we get too many negative scores... we're all going to die."

Chu Xuan silently recorded this information, and Zheng Zha couldn't help but ask, "How credible is it?"

"More than 90%"

Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses: "The numerical values ​​may vary slightly. But this clearly aligns with the God's incentive mechanism and coincides with his current behavior."

"He didn't want too many people to die in the next horror movie... so he proposed the alliance."

“…Don’t make decisions for others without their consent.” Reinhardt put his hands behind his back and narrowed his eyes.

"Although they haven't experienced team battles, the difference in strength between the Samsara teams that can engage in team battles must be very limited."

Ignoring Reinhardt, Chu Xuan continued, "And if we don't unite... the threat from the other side will increase dramatically."

"Let's talk about the details of the transaction... What do you want to exchange?"

Reinhardt's breath hitched at Chu Xuan's directness before he said, "I'll use the name of the next horror movie to give you an answer... Zheng Zha, where does your power come from?"

"My power?" Zheng Zha's expression was strange as he cast a questioning glance at Chu Xuan.

Chu Xuan replied, "To ensure the accuracy and effectiveness of the intelligence from both sides, some methods are needed."

“This is easy... God, exchange for the [Soul Contract].

Reinhardt, with his deep pockets, directly purchased lie detectors: "Draft the contract on this, and it will become effective once both parties sign it. After signing, one will be unable to violate the contract subjectively... forcibly violating it will lead to a mental breakdown."

He wrote down the details of the transaction in great detail and signed his name.

Then, he gestured for Zheng Zha to sign his name as well. After Chu Xuan and the main god translated and confirmed that everything was correct, Zheng Zha signed his name.

"The contract is now complete." Reinhardt looked expectant. "The next horror movie will be Chinese Paladin."

Zheng Zha nodded and stated frankly, "My power comes from the clash of different types of energy."

"What did you say!" Reinhardt's face contorted with rage. He didn't believe the other's nonsense at all. "Are you willing to risk a mental breakdown to break the contract?"

"I'm telling the truth," Zheng Zha said, then activated the Zhu Rong Xiang and Qiang Liang Xiang, wielding wind and thunder in his left hand and manifesting raging flames in his right.

Then, to Reinhard's astonishment, he clapped his hands together, unleashing an awe-inspiring power!

Zheng Zha's hands, however, only had very minor abrasions.

Previous explosions were not as visually striking as this one.

Reinhardt can now confirm that the other party did not deceive him.

It was precisely because his bloodline and skills had reached their limits, and his weaponry and equipment were extremely luxurious, that he was struggling to find a path to further advancement...

It's a rare opportunity to trade such important information with Zheng Zha... and yet I received such a ridiculous answer.

Damn it! What's the use of this kind of information! No wonder Zheng Zha was willing to tell him!
"Oh!"

With a loud slam of the door closing, Reinhardt returned to the room.

Zheng Zha watched as the other party broke down and left, secretly pleased, and laughed, "Chu Xuan, what should we do next?"

"Since it's a team battle, we must find a way to continue improving our strength in the interlude. We just happened to get a skeleton warhorse, and with the rune set on the Spear of Judgment... we might be able to make some modifications."

Chu Xuan pushed up his glasses. "Besides the Celestials, the only ones who can team up with us are probably from Central Continent, right?"

"Zhongzhou?" Zheng Zha's eyes lit up. "Such a good thing?"

“It might not be a good thing…” Luo Gandao weakly raised his hand: “I can vouch for them, they won’t hold back at all when it comes to team fights.”
