92: The rich prince who just wants to play soy sauce! (3rd update)
"Prince Singh? That Prince Singh from the Three Settlement?"
Kim Geun-seok was speechless.
He naturally knew Prince Singh; he was the prince of the Brahmin caste in the Three Settlement, known for his immense wealth.
The Jin family was indeed very rich, but compared to Prince Singh, they seemed inferior.
Those Asan Clan people were all rolling in money, buying technology with points. As long as you were willing to sell, there was nothing they couldn't afford.
Most importantly, Singh's Hero Ranking was above his; he had already dropped to 51st, while Singh was stably ranked 48th.
He was even above Lin Ye.
Little did they know, anyone with a bit of status knew that Singh was a complete good-for-nothing, with no talent for dungeon design whatsoever.
But even so, he could still rank in the Top 50, which showed how incredibly rich he was, simply overflowing with wealth.
Although he knew this guy had no real ability, according to the unwritten rules of dungeons, those with higher ranks indeed had command authority.
Now that Singh was here to object, he truly had a point.
"How is he everywhere? Why is he in this dungeon too?"
"Young Master... he said he also signed up to come in."
Kim Geun-seok felt a headache coming on, but he still steadied himself.
"Go and invite Prince Singh over. Remember to invite him respectfully, with the etiquette due to a prince."
Even if he looked down on him, Kim Geun-seok knew that Singh had many good weapons, possibly even a larger weapon reserve than himself.
If Singh could cooperate well, the probability of clearing the dungeon would greatly increase.
At this moment, for someone so foolishly rich, it was necessary to show goodwill; who knows, the Jin family might need him in the future.
...
Soon, a strong smell of curry wafted through the crack in the door.
Prince Singh, adorned in gold and silver, swaggered into the President's Office in the Blue House.
"Prince Singh, long time no see."
"I really didn't expect you to be in the dungeon too." Kim Geun-seok forced a smile and extended his hand to Singh.
"Heh, Jin Shao Ye certainly puts on a grand air. Are you assuming you're the overall commander of this dungeon?" Singh plonked himself directly onto the chair opposite Kim Geun-seok, then lazily shook Kim Geun-seok's hand.
"Prince Singh, you should know that this dungeon is a duel between Lin Ye and me. Who is more suitable for this position than me?"
"Instead, I'm very curious, why would Prince Singh appear in this dungeon? Don't tell me it was a random draw?"
"Your luck would be too bad then."
Singh pouted, then took out a small teapot from his waist and leisurely drank the golden Masala tea exclusive to the Asan Clan royal family.
"This prince tells you, actually, this prince is just here for tourism."
"Is that not allowed?"
Hearing this, Kim Geun-seok gave an awkward, fake laugh.
Someone coming to someone else's dungeon for tourism? That's outrageous! And it's an Infernal Grade dungeon; even if you're rich, you can't play like this.
"Prince, you're really joking..."
"I'm not joking." Singh smiled somewhat smugly. "The royal family gave me a shopping list. Soon, my Brahmin royal family plans to purchase a batch of weapons and technology from Lin Ye at a high price."
"I entered this dungeon to see Lin Ye's weapons for myself. After all, experiencing them directly is much better than watching them on a live stream."
Kim Geun-seok's face immediately darkened, and he barely managed to restrain himself from exploding.
So, for his decisive battle dungeon with Lin Ye, this guy was here for sightseeing and procurement.
In terms of being disgusting, this Asan Clan truly wasn't any worse than their Korean clan.
"However... business always has variables. If Jin Shao Ye has the ability to clear the dungeon, then I can save a large sum of points, which is actually not bad."
"I want to hear Jin Shao Ye's strategic plan now. Don't be like that Ito Hidekazu before, full of big talk and no real ability. He really caused me a lot of trouble back then."
As soon as Kim Geun-seok heard Singh's change in tone, he started to scheme.
So-called purchasing weapons and technology also requires both parties to be willing. Singh wanted to buy technology, but Lin Ye might not sell it to him.
This guy's greater possibility for entering this dungeon was to reap the benefits from it, thereby obtaining Lin Ye's technology by conquering the dungeon!
Each one was more calculating than the last.
However, at this moment, it wasn't impossible to use each other.
Having an extra armory was always a gain.
"Heh heh, Prince Singh, comparing me to that Ito Hidekazu is the biggest joke in the world."
"What is that Ito Hidekazu? Just a Level 2 good-for-nothing. You and I both know he's just a tool cultivated by the Da He Settlement."
As he spoke, Kim Geun-seok slowly walked over to Prince Singh's side and whispered in his ear:
"This time, my combat plan is air combat..."
Afterward, Kim Geun-seok told Singh his entire combat plan and battle analysis.
He didn't expect a good-for-nothing like Singh to fully understand; a general idea was enough.
What he wanted to show was more of an aura of strategic planning.
Indeed, at first, Singh still looked disdainful, but as Kim Geun-seok spoke more deeply, Singh's eyes gradually lit up.
"Jin Shao Ye, your plan is very strategic, and I am willing to trust your Korean air combat." Singh slowly nodded.
"But now I want to know, how do you determine that Lin Ye's air combat power is inferior to yours? Lin Ye actually showed good air combat power in Raging Sea."
Kim Geun-seok smiled, then shook his head with a hint of disdain.
"Firstly, the fighter jets in Raging Sea were indeed formidable, but they were Aircraft Carrier fighter jets that relied on the Extinguish Country Fleet. If we choose air combat mode, the Aircraft Carriers will be blockaded..."
"Furthermore, the mission states that occupying any main city counts as victory! It doesn't say we must confront Lin Ye head-on."
"Lin Ye needs to use fighter jets to block us, while we only need to bomb one main city. Prince, you should know very well that there are no fighter jets specifically for anti-air strikes in this world yet; all fighter jets are basically specialized in ground strikes."
"Looking at it this way, do you still think we can't win?"
Kim Geun-seok's words indeed convinced Singh.
After another cup of tea, Singh clapped his hands lightly.
"Good! Jin Shao Ye's strategy is indeed much stronger than that Ito Hidekazu's."
"Well-reasoned and convincing!"
"This prince didn't bring too many things into the dungeon this time, but I do have over 100 top-tier planes that Jin Shao Ye can deploy!"
"I hope we can cooperate happily."
