263: I told you to study more, but you chose to raise pigs

Having finished their discussion, Shen Mo and Tina immediately left.

After he left, Solo frowned and looked at Tina, saying, "Do you really believe his nonsense?"

What Great Saint Relic?

How is that possible?!

That Wood Slave just now clearly wasn't telling the truth; he was intentionally trying to trick them.

No!

Perhaps he wasn't really trying to trick them, but rather some people outside, but he was still using them as pawns.

What surprised him most was that Tina actually agreed?

Tina basically made all the decisions for the entire Mission Bar.

Solo was only responsible for other external affairs, such as fighting.

But Tina was too outrageous this time, wasn't she?

Did she take a liking to that Wood Slave just now?

Thinking this, Solo immediately earnestly warned Tina, "Tina, I know you've always wanted to compete with Yuan Tianyin."

"But there's no need to compete in this, right?"

He felt a headache coming on.

What the heck, even men have to be compared? What kind of situation is this?

When Solo spoke, Tina's expression froze, and then she glared at him angrily, saying, "What are you thinking?"

"Do I need to compete with her in that?!"

When she said this, she proudly puffed out her chest—with her, what could Yuan Tianyin compare to?

Tina was speechless.

However, she did indeed enjoy competing with Yuan Tianyin both openly and secretly. The two belonged to different races; Yuan Tianyin was pure and gentle, exuding a delicate and sacred aura.

While Tina exuded an innate charm and seductive allure.

If Nangong Mingyue's allure was that of a fully ripened charm, then Tina's was a charm that seemed to be bursting with juice.

These were two completely different feelings.

Tina's charm came from her very bones, while Nangong Mingyue's charm carried a more mature elegance.

As Tina spoke, she gave Solo a sidelong glance, then lowered her head and swirled the crimson wine in her hand, saying, "He wasn't lying."

"He does indeed possess a secret."

"I told you to read more, but you insisted on raising pigs, fighting and killing every day. The Shadow Snake Clan's brains have all been thrown away by you."

"Is your brain full of nothing but muscles now?"

She snorted lightly, then said, "Those Black Sea people around him listen to him so much, why do you think that is?"

"Is it because he's good at tricking people?" Solo smacked his lips.

Tina: "...They're not as foolish as you!"

She looked at Solo speechlessly, saying, "Not long after he separated from Yuan Tianyin, the Black Sea people rebelled with him."

"Do you really think he only knows how to trick people? If you go with him, you'll only be tricked to death!"

Tina tapped her finger lightly on the table, saying, "The Black Sea Star Pirates' power is immense; they even dared to kidnap Yuan Tianyin. No one would believe that they don't have ulterior motives behind it."

"However, that's not our main point of investigation."

"The key is how Shen Mo persuaded the Black Sea people to rebel."

"Don't they know that once the Black Sea Star Pirates come to their senses, they will annihilate them immediately?"

The reason the other party isn't making a move right now is because they just kidnapped Yuan Tianyin and are being closely watched by the Yin Feng Clan and Wind Eagle Clan.

It could be said that after this period, the Black Sea Star Pirates could crush the Black Sea people however they wanted.

Shen Mo and that Wanmu Clan person don't know about this crisis, but are the people on the Black Sea all dead?

Don't they know their own fate?

"So, there must be something that is enough to drive them to abandon this fate, or rather, no longer fear the Black Sea Star Pirates."

"So, if you say it's not a secret comparable to a Great Saint, then what is it?"

When Tina finished speaking, Solo immediately exclaimed, "So, you believed him just now?"

"Then why did you let him go?!"

Holy cow, that's a Great Saint-level secret!

"That's why I said you have a pig's brain!"

"I was just guessing!"

Tina rolled her eyes at him speechlessly, "Besides, didn't you hear him say that this secret is in the hands of the Wanmu Clan?"

"He might not even know the truth or the exact location of this secret."

Solo: "...Then isn't he just trying to get something for nothing?"

Holy cow, he's using a secret he doesn't even know about to talk to them, and he wants them to protect him, and he wants them to share the profits.

Tina didn't even know how to talk to him anymore.

Being stupid isn't a mistake, but can you please not show it off.

"Did he sell you a piece of information? Did he?"

Tina asked.

Solo: "He did!"

"Then isn't it right for him to ask for compensation?"

Tina looked at him, speechless.

"From beginning to end, besides asking our Mission Bar to protect him, did he propose any other immediate demands?"

Solo: "...No."

The demand Shen Mo made was to give him 30% after they obtained the item.

He even added a precondition, which was if he led them to obtain the items from the Great Saint Relic.

Then this...

"Isn't it us who are getting something for nothing from him?"

Solo said blankly.

Holy cow, Tina is so good at this!

He always thought she was good at business, but he never expected her to be so good at tricking people too.

That Wood Slave was so powerful, he tricked a whole ship of Black Sea people to help him.

As a result, Tina tricked him back!

"What are you thinking?" Tina rolled her eyes at him, "It's a good thing you don't manage the Mission Bar, otherwise I'd lose a fortune."

"Didn't we pay compensation? What about the forty elite experts from the Mission Bar that he took with him?"

"We provided protection! Are you stupid?"

"Furthermore, Shen Mo and that Wanmu Clan person carry such a big secret, do you think the Black Sea people and the Wanmu Clan people will tolerate him?"

"He came to our Mission Bar with the idea of doing business, which is to borrow manpower!"

"He just came under the guise of taking on a mission, and now his goal has been achieved. No one can force him or plot against him, do you know that?"

Tina looked at Solo's confused expression and couldn't help but rub her forehead, saying, "Forget it, I can't explain it to you."

"You just need to know that he came to borrow manpower, and now his goal has been achieved, and that's all that matters."

"As for our efforts, we will soon be rewarded."

After all, since Shen Mo borrowed manpower, won't he make other moves?

There are some things that their Mission Bar people can't easily do, but Shen Mo is different!

In short, this information was very worth buying; it just depends on whether Shen Mo has the ability to extract the specific secret from the Wanmu Clan.

Tina thought about Shen Mo's performance so far and felt that this problem shouldn't be too big.

"No wonder Yuan Feng and Yuan Tianyin both told me to pay attention to him; he's quite interesting."

"His master probably also deliberately put him in the forefront for this reason, right?"

"Using him as a shield, this idea is probably just my wishful thinking."

Thinking of this, Tina smiled faintly.
