As soon as he heard Wang Baole's words, the little fatty's expression changed. He was furious. He felt that this guy was too greedy. How could there be such a greedy person in this world other than him?
The little fatty was not the only one who felt this way. The other geniuses outside all had ugly expressions on their faces when they heard Wang Baole's public asking price. They didn't care about 100,000 red crystals, but they were being extorted like this, and it seemed that they had no choice but to buy it. This went against their pride. While they felt helpless, they were also very angry with Wang Baole.
But there was nothing they could do. Five days seemed to be a long time, but they also knew that the longer they delayed, the less likely they would be able to reach the shore in the end. Especially when Wang Baole flew out of the boat at such a high speed that they knew very well that he was not someone to be trifled with.
It would be fine if they joined forces, but if they fought alone, they would most likely not be a match for him. Even if they could join forces, they couldn't force him to help. Although it was advantageous to have more people, they were not a whole, so it was inevitable that they would have all kinds of thoughts.
These thoughts flashed through everyone's minds quickly. For the sake of face, even if some of them were tempted, they were a little unwilling to be the first to bow their heads, so none of them spoke.
Seeing this, the little fatty breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Wang Baole. Just as he was about to discuss how to ease the atmosphere just now, Wang Baole also saw the conflict in the people outside. He snorted in his heart and simply added two more flames.
"The boat can only carry a limited number of people, and the time you can help is also limited. I will only grab 30 people in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. If you are too slow and can't get on the boat, don't blame me!"
As soon as he said this, the people outside immediately became anxious. This was related to the good fortune of the Graveyard of Stars. They had worked hard in their respective families and forces to obtain this qualification. If they failed because of 100,000 red crystals, they would feel that it was not worth it when they returned. Therefore, when they heard Wang Baole's time limit, how could they not be anxious? Immediately, voices came out of the crowd.
"I'll buy! One! "
The first person to speak was a skinny young man. He was clearly a quick-witted person, and as he spoke, he also shouted a number. Because of that, even if more than thirty people spoke at the same time as him, he would still be able to obtain the right to join the competition.
Wang Baole also had a good impression of this guy, and a pleased smile appeared on his face. He was just about to nod his head when everyone else began to get anxious. More and more people began to shout out in alarm.
"Yes, two!"
"Buy, three!!"
Those who agreed with Wang Baole's bid rose to seventy or eighty within a few breaths' time. However, the number of people who agreed with Wang Baole's bid didn't exceed thirty. Naturally, there were many who disagreed with each other. Even though it caused some people to glare at each other in anger, Wang Baole was still very pleased with such a lively scene.
He was happy, but Fatty was trembling. By now, he knew that it didn't matter whether he agreed or not. If he continued to be greedy and refuse to pay, the consequences could be imagined. Therefore, he took advantage of the fact that the people outside were calling out the numbers to produce a red crystal card. Without hesitation, he pulled it out of his pocket and quickly tossed it to Wang Baole.
"Fellow Daoist, this is the greatest kindness in the world. In order to support you, I, Zhou Linfeng, will be the first to agree!"
After receiving the red crystal, Wang Baole looked at Fatty with an enigmatic smile. Then he sighed.
"I hope that everyone in the world can understand me as well as you do. How could I, Xie Dalu, be greedy for such a small amount of money? I'm trying to help you. However, the Dao of Heaven harms the Dao of Man. I'm trying to defy the Dao of Heaven, so I have to use some material objects to resist the invisible tribulation. "
Looking at Wang Baole's emotional outburst, Fatty's face twitched. He thought to himself that this person was too thick-skinned, and his words were too disgusting. However, he knew when to yield and when not to yield. He was afraid that Wang Baole would go back on his word, so he put on a sincere expression and nodded continuously.
At the same time, Li Linzi and the others on the ship saw that they could earn so much money. Although they knew that Wang Baole was special on the ship, they were still a bit moved. This was especially true for Li Linzi. He wasn't doing this for the money, but because he felt that if he could be like Wang Baole, then he could use this opportunity to gain the gratitude of others. If he did well, then it wouldn't be impossible to have hundreds of people respond to his call in the future.
"Idiot, networking is the most important thing!" Li Linzi narrowed his eyes. At the moment, he didn't want to offend Wang Baole too much, so he had no choice but to give up on the idea of scolding others to make himself look better. After all, the people on the outside weren't stupid. If he had a way to get them in, then scolding them would naturally be a plus.
But if he didn't have a way and just talked, then the suspicion of giving out empty favors would be too great. Not only would he fail to achieve his goal, he would also be looked down upon.
Having reached this point in his train of thought, he suddenly rose to his feet and spoke to the people on the outside.
"Fellow Daoists, I am Li Linzi of the Frigid Cloud Sect. Please don't be in a hurry to pay up. I want to try and see if, like us, those who are already on the ship can invite others onto the ship like Xie Dalu.
"Fellow Daoists, if I succeed, then I won't ask for anything in return. By standing out, I have already offended Fellow Daoist Xie. If I fail, then please don't blame me."
When they heard Li Linzi's words, the people on the outside immediately responded. Their words were filled with gratitude and understanding. Even Wang Baole narrowed his eyes and looked at Li Linzi. He instantly understood what this person was thinking.
"Whether or not he succeeds, he can sell favors and establish a foundation for networking? This Li Linzi's plan is pretty good. " As Wang Baole was lost in thought, Li Linzi's eyes flickered. After gaining the support of the people on the outside, he turned to Wang Baole and clasped hands.
"Fellow Daoist Xie, please don't stop me from trying!"
These words immediately caused killing intent to flicker in Wang Baole's heart. Li Linzi's words were incredibly vicious. If he hadn't said anything, it wouldn't have been a big deal. The resentment of the others toward Wang Baole wouldn't have lessened, but it wouldn't have increased either.
However, no matter how Wang Baole responded, it would be wrong. If he tried to stop him, the resentment would increase. If he didn't, then he would be helping Li Linzi establish his network.
"This Li Linzi's brain works pretty fast!" Thought Wang Baole, narrowing his eyes. Actually, he had considered recruiting people onto the ship to establish his network. However, he knew that networking was the most stable thing in the world, but also the most fragile. The reason it was stable was because if the exchange continued, it would last until the end of one's life.
This kind of exchange was nothing more than emotions, value, interests, and so on.
The reason it was fragile was that without the exchange of connections, it was just an illusion. The effect was minimal, and it was very likely to be a failure point!
Therefore, just recruiting people onto the ship and establishing a network was simply not enough. Once it was done, it was equivalent to setting a character setting for oneself. In the future, one would have to constantly contribute like this.
If Wang Baole was really a genius of a big force, he would naturally have the spare energy to do it and the means to make this matter perfect. However, he wasn't.
The resources he had obtained were what he needed the most now!
Therefore, in the face of Li Linzi's behavior, Wang Baole just smiled slightly and didn't say anything. He allowed Li Linzi, who was proud of himself, to step forward and start trying to recruit people.
The result was obvious. Of course, he failed. Li Linzi was a little depressed. After all, if he failed, although his previous words had some effect, it couldn't be used to establish his network. It could only be regarded as a small foundation.
Seeing this, Wang Baole suddenly spoke.
"Do you want to give me 10 million red crystals, and I'll help you recruit people from the outside for free?" The degree of ruthlessness in his words surpassed that of Li Linzi's previous words. At this moment, Li Linzi's body trembled and his expression turned ugly. He was conflicted for a moment. Of course, he wouldn't take out 10 million red crystals in exchange for connections. He felt that it wasn't worth it. Therefore, he snorted coldly and ignored Wang Baole. Instead, he cupped his fists toward the people outside.
"Fellow cultivators, it's not that I don't agree, but I'm really embarrassed …"
Although there was a response, it was obvious that the geniuses from the outside were a little colder toward Li Linzi. They weren't fools. They had seen through this matter and Li Linzi's thoughts before. If Li Linzi succeeded, it would be fine. However, if he failed at this moment, it was naturally useless to them.
Naturally, Wang Baole's words had some effect on him.
At the same time, although he offered a very high price, at least it was possible to succeed. Therefore, this deal of 100,000 red crystals for a handful began to move quickly.
Seeing this, Wang Baole glanced at Li Linzi and shook his head secretly. If the other party really agreed, he would treat him as a real person. Now, it seemed that he was just playing to the gallery.
