195: Eye of Fortune
"Why did this guy come here?"
Crimson frowned slightly, slowly stood up, then walked straight to the door and opened it. What met her eyes was that annoying guy.
Wang Lin wore a kind smile on his face, trying his best to look as handsome as possible.
"Crimson, long time no see."
Crimson did not react at all; she just waved at him and turned to walk inside. The moment she turned her back, she did not notice that the smile on Wang Lin's face vanished completely, leaving behind only endless coldness.
"Brother Wang, what inspired you to visit me? Has something happened?"
Wang Lin had just sat down at the table when he heard Li Haotian's question; the other party was clearly probing for his purpose.
"Naturally, there's a good thing, and I thought of Chief Li first."
Wang Lin was smiling, but Li Haotian sensed something was wrong.
"If there is something, Brother Wang, just say it directly. Since it's a good thing, why not share it with everyone at the meeting? Should I help you convene a meeting of all parties?"
Li Haotian's words made Wang Lin's expression look a bit unpleasant, but he quickly recovered.
"I'm only telling the two of you about this matter. Actually, I want to cooperate with you both. I discovered a huge mineral deposit outside the city, which contains many crystal cores that can significantly enhance our Sect's foundation."
"If we can mine it all, we should be able to make a fortune."
Wang Lin rubbed his hands excitedly, and a trace of ruddiness appeared on his pale face.
Li Haotian frowned and looked at Crimson beside him, who was also confused.
"With such a good thing, since you already know about it, why tell us? You could completely organize your own Elder to do it yourself. Our strength seems to be only at the Saint and Heaven Monarch levels."
When Wang Lin heard this, his expression became a bit unnatural, but he still tried to smile and nodded.
"Such a mineral deposit is also a huge temptation for the alien race. In order to mine it, they specially dispatched a Great Emperor Powerhouse to guard it, along with several quasi-Emperors and Heaven Monarchs."
"I have a way to hold off that Great Emperor, and I can handle the quasi-Emperors around the Powerhouse, but I need the two of you to bring people to help me hold the line."
"The alien race has been mining this deposit for a long time, and a large amount of resources has already been mined into their Storage Rings. They haven't had time to transport it back yet. We only need to strike on their marching route, and we can eliminate them all. At that time, I will take 40%, and you two will each take 30%. How about it?"
Wang Lin looked a bit urgent; he had almost staked his reputation on this.
Such a great temptation made both of them curious. Although Li Haotian's expression didn't change, he had long sensed in his heart that this guy was definitely up to no good. It was impossible for him to be so kind as to tell them both about such a good thing.
Before this, the other party had always regarded him as a love rival. Suddenly changing his face, he must have some dirty tricks hidden.
Li Haotian intended to face it head-on. The other party might not be his opponent, but if he wanted to get him to move, there had to be enough profit. Even if he knew it was a trap, he would still jump into it.
As long as the money is there, everything is negotiable. Anyway, a Great Emperor Powerhouse couldn't do anything to him, as long as he didn't go to the rear of the alien race.
Li Haotian did not hesitate at all and immediately agreed to the matter.
The System's voice suddenly rang in his mind.
【Detected that the Host is deliberately walking into the other party's trap, triggering a reward mission: Kill Wang Lin, frame the alien race. Mission Reward: Super Gift Package】
Li Haotian raised an eyebrow. This Super Gift Package would randomly offer three different rewards, and the quantities would vary.
It could be some Cultivation resources, or it could be some Magic Treasures.
Li Haotian was quite curious about this.
This was the first time the System had distributed rewards in the form of a gift package.
After receiving a positive reply, Wang Lin left contentedly. Crimson, who was on the side, frowned. She had just wanted to ask for more details, but was stopped by Li Haotian.
"He prepared this trap, so we'll just walk into it. Without thinking, I know this guy definitely doesn't have good intentions, but you don't need to worry too much. After all, my strength is not weak, and I have a Peak Great Emperor Realm Expert sitting by my side, so there is no need to worry at all."
"If we refuse this matter, he might go back and sabotage us behind our backs, or even threaten the safety of the city wall, which could lead to the city falling. It's better to just..."
After Li Haotian's voice fell, he made a slicing motion across his own neck. Crimson frowned and hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.
This guy was malicious and really might commit extreme acts. Threatening the two of them was nothing, but the main thing was not to threaten the safety of the city wall.
Once the safety of the city wall was threatened, it could lead to a large-scale invasion of the Human Race by the alien race.
Crimson returned to her room, preparing to arrange for an Elder to accompany her.
Just as Li Haotian was about to turn and leave, he was suddenly grabbed by the arm.
"Don't go."
Xue You spoke slowly, her voice very soft but sonorous and powerful.
"What's wrong?"
Li Haotian looked at her, not understanding why she was stopping him.
"He is indeed ill-intentioned. This operation should be very dangerous for you, so I hope you don't go."
Xue You did not give any reason, just looking at Li Haotian with determined eyes.
"How did you judge this? Can you tell me? If it's not convenient, never mind."
Li Haotian spread his hands, looking a bit curious.
"I am a descendant of the Human Race and the Blood Fox Clan, and I seem to have awakened some special talents."
"I can see the Luck above everyone's head. For example, the Luck on you is like a golden Dragon soaring straight into the sky. If I use my arts to look at you even one more time, I will feel uncomfortable."
"However, after you just made the decision to go there, the Luck on you seems to have decreased a little, and at the same time, it emitted a faint red light. I'm afraid you will get hurt if you go this time."
Li Haotian was slightly startled. The System had not given any prompts for this situation, so it shouldn't endanger his life, but it would cause him to sustain some injuries.
"The Luck on you has recovered. It seems you have made your decision. Since that's the case, I will..."
As Xue You spoke, she fell backward, blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.
Changing the fate of others at will would make her bear the Karma. Blood and tears flowed from the corners of her eyes, clearly the price for her abusing her ability.
"Damn it!"
Li Haotian hurriedly supported her and helped her back to the room to rest.
This ability is indeed very Heaven-Defying. If she can find the right method, it might become a very powerful asset.
