211: The Art of Compromise

“Isn’t this blatant bribery?” Pan Han nearly laughed.

“Oh, Mr. Pan, you can’t say that. In business, this is called the art of compromise,” the Black Suit Zombie said nonchalantly.

Pan Han fell into contemplation upon hearing this.

He vaguely felt that this Trial was specifically tailored for him by the Twelve Palaces!

Previously, he had taken over Dawn Base and established the Dawn Army, wanting to create a better world.

Not a place full of gambling, fraud, and assassination.

Moreover, the cockroach cakes and human meat factories he just mentioned were undoubtedly black-hearted factories.

It was highly probable that humans were being captured and forced to work 996, or even 10107!

The Black Suit Zombie seemed to read Pan Han’s mind, extending both hands, palms up, forming a scale, swaying left and right, up and down.

“How about it, Mr. Pan, do you want me to add more chips for you?”

“What else can you add?” Pan Han was startled, not expecting this Trial Boss to play such a hand.

“Points! I’ll add another 100,000 points for you.”

“You have that much power?”

“One phone call, that’s all it takes! I call the shots in this Trial!”

“Not bad, 200,000 points in total is indeed not low,” Pan Han calculated. If he agreed to it, he would return to the top of the rankings and be very stable.

“Exactly! And how easy it is to get these points, you just need to nod your head.”

Temptation! Absolute temptation!

Pan Han now understood why there were so many corrupt officials in his world!

It really was hard to resist!

As long as you are a normal person, you will have desires, and with desires come temptations, so there will always be someone trying to exploit your weaknesses.

However, Pan Han had a change of heart. This Black Suit Zombie was quite interesting, and there should be other things, so he couldn't agree yet; he would continue to play around.

“Not enough!” Pan Han collected his thoughts and put on a serious expression.

“Haha, Mr. Pan, I like you. Smart enough! Alright, I’ll give you something else.”

“Tell me!” Pan Han’s ears perked up, confirming there was more to come.

“I’ll give you a piece of intelligence.” The Black Suit Zombie took a manila envelope from a drawer and tossed it in front of Pan Han.

Pan Han unsealed it and took out the information inside, which turned out to be an introduction to the Boss on the ninetieth floor.

Boss Name: Venomous Spider

Description: A giant mutated spider creature with a horrifying appearance and deadly attack capabilities.

Appearance: Its body is massive, about three meters tall. Its body is covered in a hard, smooth black exoskeleton with grotesque patterns and sharp spines. It has eight strong tentacles, each growing sharp poison barbs. The Venomous Spider’s eyes emit a malevolent red glow that can cause blindness.

Characteristics: Possesses high mobility and swift movement capabilities. It can freely walk on walls and ceilings and move quickly through the combat arena. Its body emits a highly toxic aura; contact with its tentacles or poison barbs will cause the target to be poisoned, suffering extreme pain and weakness.

Attack Capabilities: It can spray highly toxic spider silk to entangle enemies and move quickly, thereby restricting their movement. It can also use the poison barbs on its tentacles for fierce close-range attacks, quickly piercing through enemy defenses and releasing potent venom. The Venomous Spider can also trigger massive venom explosions by vibrating the ground, causing area-of-effect toxic damage.

“Indeed, it’s not easy to deal with!” As Pan Han said this, he wasn’t sure if he was talking about the Venomous Spider or the Black Suit Zombie.

This guy, to save his own life, directly betrayed other floor Bosses. It seemed his attack method was to exchange benefits for benefits!

After reading the intelligence, Pan Han admitted to himself that if he had directly killed the Black Suit Zombie and rushed to the ninetieth floor, he would most likely have died.

“How about it, Mr. Pan, are you satisfied with this condition?”

“Not enough!” Pan Han closed the intelligence, feigning a relaxed demeanor.

The Black Suit Zombie was startled, narrowing his eyes and staring at Pan Han for a moment.

Being stared at like that made Pan Han feel a bit uneasy.

“Hahaha! Very good, Mr. Pan, you are greedy enough! You are a man who can achieve great things.”

“Alright, I’ll make one last offer! I’ll give you a set of mecha! With it, that spider monster upstairs won’t be able to do anything to you.”

Pan Han raised an eyebrow, greatly surprised by the Black Suit Zombie’s final offer. Mecha! This was a very tempting condition.

Damn, the feeling of temptation!

Pan Han had worn mecha before and knew how powerful they were.

If he could get one in the Trial grounds, he could absolutely sweep away all monsters and demons!

Forget about a small poisonous spider, even if a Tyrannosaurus Rex were reborn, he could easily take it down!

This condition was much better than 200,000 points.

He could agree to it.

Pan Han finally nodded and said, “The mecha is fine! Deal.”

Clap! Clap! The Black Suit Zombie clapped twice on the table and said, “That’s right! We’re all trying to survive the apocalypse, who has a big grudge against whom, right?”

Pan Han gave a wry smile. He finally understood why this guy called it the art of compromise.

Whether one could compromise depended entirely on the price!

Oh well, combining long-term and short-term goals, one shouldn’t be too fixated on minor details when doing big things. Pan Han comforted himself.

There are no invincible people in this world, only people who act according to the rules!

There is nothing difficult in the world, only causality!

If Pan Han were just one person, only wanting to kill zombies in the apocalypse, he could be completely carefree.

But as long as he wanted to accomplish anything, he would instantly fall into the apocalypse survival trap.

If you’re not strong, don’t show off!

“I want the 20 points too.” After figuring it out, Pan Han activated his bold and ruthless mode.

“Of course! Don’t worry.”

“Let’s go see the mecha. If there are no issues, I’ll head straight upstairs.”

“Hehe! Mr. Pan, I guarantee you’ll be satisfied! Please…”

The Black Suit Zombie led Pan Han to a storeroom, pulled back a black cloth, and a gleaming golden mecha appeared before his eyes.

The mecha was predominantly light gold, covered in sturdy alloy armor, with shining energy crystals embedded in its surface.

Its design was full of futuristic appeal, with sleek and exquisite lines; every armor plate was precisely machined and polished, emitting a brilliant golden glow.

The mecha’s head had a unique design, resembling a bird’s head, with clear energy eyes embedded on both sides, flickering with powerful energy fluctuations.

“It looks even more powerful than the one Mo Li gave me!” Pan Han secretly sighed.

“Mr. Pan, this mecha was also built by the Twelve Palaces, and it has an exclusive name: Scarlet Angel!” The Black Suit Zombie caressed the mecha, his eyes filled with envy.

As a zombie, he would never have the chance to wear it in this lifetime.

“Come, please try it on!” The Black Suit Zombie pulled Pan Han to stand in front of the mecha.

First, biological information registration and identification, then he could get inside.

“Confirming mecha owner, Trial participant Pan Han, now available for use.” The mecha’s AI voice sounded, and the screen inside the face shield immediately displayed various images and information.

Pan Han first confirmed the information, then immediately climbed out, ready to bid farewell to the Black Suit Zombie.

“Mr. Pan, I wish you good luck! I’ll be leaving now, I have other things to attend to.” The Black Suit Zombie smiled slightly and turned to leave.

He wasn’t afraid of Pan Han going back on his word at all.

It was just a human, he had done this before!
