Bai Ye was stunned, what was going on?
Jin Sha patted Nianmei Long's head and said, "This child's temperament is very gentle, a bit fragile and sensitive. Your words made it mistake you for abandoning it, so it's very sad right now."
Bai Ye was speechless, "Is raising spirit beasts this troublesome?"
"You'll get used to it," Jin Sha suddenly felt emotional and sighed, "You said before that there can't be companions in the world battlefield? Perhaps you were right. This is a bloody world where people scheme against each other, are crazed and cruel. But spirit beasts are different. No matter where, no matter what the situation, as long as you don't abandon them, they are your best companions."
Bai Ye said, "Can you get it up before you get sentimental?"
Jin Sha shrugged with a smile, "I'm not its owner anymore, you are!"
Bai Ye couldn't help but bare his teeth, then reached out and stroked Nianmei Long's head, "I was just joking, I didn't intend to abandon you, it's just that my injuries haven't healed yet, so I told you not to hug me."
Although Nianmei Long couldn't speak human language, it seemed to understand human speech. It immediately stopped crying and burst into laughter, its eyes turning into smiling slits again. It obediently climbed off Bai Ye and sat beside him.
Bai Ye got up from the ground, looking at his body covered in slime, and said helplessly, "What should I do about this?"
Jin Sha said helplessly, "So, I wanted to tell you that you need to be prepared before releasing this child. You released it without listening to me finish. Now, we just have to find a way to bathe."
Bai Ye was speechless, "Where am I supposed to get water?"
Jin Sha smiled, "Actually, it's fine if you don't wash. Nianmei Long's slime is very clean. Once it dries, it's equivalent to taking a bath."
Bai Ye wanted to say he felt uncomfortable, but he glanced at Nianmei Long beside him. Saying that might hurt its fragile and sensitive heart again. He thought about it and decided not to say anything, treating it as a slime spa.
Jin Sha said, "The transaction is complete. Are you still interested in discussing anything else?"
Bai Ye asked doubtfully, "Huh?"
Jin Sha said, "I know of a large-scale forbidden zone..."
"A large-scale forbidden zone?" Bai Ye directly interrupted with a laugh, "Impossible."
A large-scale forbidden zone, as the name suggests, is huge and has many people. Of course, there are other details, but those are not important.
What's important is that no one can currently open a large-scale forbidden zone. The appearance of a large-scale forbidden zone signifies that the world battlefield has passed its initial stage and officially entered its middle stage. Everyone's current strength is far from enough, and to complete a large-scale forbidden zone, personal strength alone is usually not enough; the strength of many people needs to reach a certain standard.
Bai Ye clearly remembered that the first time a large-scale forbidden zone was opened in his previous life was nearly two years after the world battlefield began. Coincidentally, that large-scale forbidden zone was called Jing Ling Ting.
Jin Sha said, "It's very large in scale, and different from ordinary forbidden zones."
Bai Ye still shook his head, but he still said, "You can tell me about it."
Jin Sha said, "The background of the forbidden zone is a modern civilized world. The police arrested a major drug lord. Before going to prison, that major drug lord..."
"Wait a minute!" Bai Ye couldn't help but interrupt, "That major drug lord made a public statement to the media, saying that whoever could rescue him would be paid one hundred million. As a result, the city was in chaos, and all the villains wanted to rescue him. On the side of the chosen ones, a total of one hundred chosen ones accepted the mission to open the forbidden zone. The mission was simple: rescue the drug lord, and the reward would be one hundred million. This one hundred million was not currency for the chosen ones, but after completion, a reward exchange would be opened. Different rewards required different amounts of money."
Jin Sha was surprised, "You know this forbidden zone too?"
Bai Ye said, "This is indeed different from ordinary forbidden zones, but it's not a large-scale forbidden zone, it's a hidden forbidden zone."
How could a large-scale forbidden zone only have a mere hundred people?
Jin Sha said, "A hidden forbidden zone?"
Bai Ye said, "Yes. Ordinary forbidden zones are usually about searching for them or meeting the conditions to enter them. Once you enter, it means the forbidden zone has been opened, and others within the area are forcibly teleported in. However, hidden forbidden zones require an item and do not forcibly teleport chosen ones into the forbidden zone. If those hundred people don't gather, this forbidden zone can never be opened. In comparison, hidden forbidden zones are more difficult. No, to be precise, the conflict in hidden forbidden zones is more intense, the death rate is higher, and sometimes, regardless of how many people enter the forbidden zone, only one survives in the end. Of course, the rewards are also better."
This was a coincidence. Bai Ye had participated in the hidden forbidden zone Jin Sha was talking about in his previous life. Therefore, Bai Ye not only knew the background story of the forbidden zone but also knew that God Stone fragments were exchanged for three million each. With one hundred million, he could get thirty fragments and still have some left over.
However, in his previous life, Bai Ye obtained the item for participating in the hidden forbidden zone through a chance trade, so he didn't know where to get it and didn't have the hidden forbidden zone in mind.
"Since you know, it's easier," Jin Sha took out two banknotes and said, "These are the items for participating in the hidden forbidden zone. I have two. Are you interested in cooperating? I'll give you the items for free, fifty million each."
Bai Ye grinned mischievously, "If I kill you, I get a hundred million."
Jin Sha said, "Although you say there are no companions in the world battlefield, beneficial cooperation still exists. I think we can establish this kind of relationship for a long time. I can provide you with some things and information, and importantly, I am not as strong as you."
Jin Sha's last sentence was a bit strange, but Bai Ye understood.
Bai Ye was stronger, so Bai Ye could choose not to share information and things with Jin Sha. But Jin Sha needed to share information and things with Bai Ye to help herself gain benefits. In return, she would have to share the benefits with Bai Ye.
Therefore, the potential meaning was to establish a beneficial cooperative relationship. Bai Ye would lose almost nothing, but Bai Ye would have the opportunity to gain benefits from Jin Sha, while Jin Sha would be able to leverage Bai Ye's strength.
Jin Sha said, "Are you planning to let fifty million sit in your safe and go moldy? Or keep it in the bank and collect interest every month?"
Bai Ye couldn't help but smile.
Jin Sha still had kindness in her heart, but that didn't mean she was stupid.
These two words were not equivalent.
Bai Ye said, "You are willing to weaken your strength and give Nianmei Long to me for this reason, right? If we cooperate, it's equivalent to not weakening your strength. Afterwards, you can use this fifty million to restore your strength and then proceed with reviving Aerodactyl."
Jin Sha said, "Do you think that's why?"
"Whether it's true or not doesn't matter to me, but the fifty million does," Bai Ye extended his hand, "Cooperation, agreed?"
Jin Sha couldn't help but laugh and high-fived Bai Ye, "Cooperation, agreed!"
