Ai Xiaolu looked into Wang Zheng's eyes. "How short of money are you? Do you want me to lend it to you? "
Wang Zheng smiled. "Thanks for the offer, but I don't think it's possible."
"Why not? Are you afraid I can't afford it? " Ai Xiaolu smiled. If Wang Zheng opened a life and death match, he would earn at least a few hundred thousand. He would definitely not care about small amounts.
"Ai Xiaolu's family runs a bank." De Fulei smiled and added.
"Really?"
Wang Zheng's eyes lit up. The space project was at its most critical moment. The Solar System's bankers had tightened their monetary stance. There were signs that the chronos family had intervened. Actually, the business world was like a battlefield. Once a flaw was exposed, the capital would definitely not be polite.
"Of course it's true. How much do you want to borrow?"
"About one billion." Wang Zheng smiled shyly. Although Xiao Fei had not said anything, Marcus had secretly told him that the experiments had failed consecutively and the funds were insufficient. The situation must have been more serious. Otherwise, Marcus would not have told Wang Zheng so shamelessly.
Wang Zheng thought that there was no value in opening a life and death match. After all, the World of Saints was not CT. There was not that much entertainment value. Knowing that they would lose, fewer people would come. Without enough people, there was no value in itself.
Ai Xiaolu was stunned. She had thought that Charcoal would at most borrow tens of millions. She did not expect him to ask for one billion!
"What do you want so much money for?"
Such a large sum of money was clearly not for personal consumption, but for some large-scale economic activity.
Ai Xiaolu's family ran a bank. Her concept of money was different from ordinary people. Most people's concept of money was reflected in "earning money", but Ai Xiaolu was more sensitive to "spending money".
To be honest, as long as it was not a gamble, giving a normal person 1 billion was no different from giving him 50 million. Because he would not be able to finish spending it.
"I wonder if you have heard of KING Universal Space Technology Company?" Wang Zheng rubbed his nose.
"Yes we have, but what has that got to do with you?" De Fulei tilted her head.
Snow Lee also looked at Wang Zheng curiously. KING Universal Space Technology Company had a very high reputation in the Milky Way Alliance. Its future potential was huge. Once the technology matured, it could change the entire universe. Now, everyone wanted to have a share in it. However, the top management of KING company had no intention of releasing their shares.
At the moment, all the major capitalists had only one request for KING Company's financing: to release their shares and let everyone in. Of course, their request wasn't just to get in and play around. They had plans to take advantage of the opportunity to swallow KING Company up.
Wang Zheng smiled sincerely. "Actually, I've participated in this project before. Xiao Fei is my teacher, and I have some shares in it. If it's possible, according to the normal rules, the interest will be calculated as it should be. It's just that it might take a little longer to get back the money. You guys also know that doing research is a money-burning thing."
Ai Xiaolu glanced at Snow Lee. She must have received some hint and smiled. "In your own name, one billion, with 30% interest. However, we're doing things according to the rules. If you can't get it back, hehe, you can pay with your body."
Actually, regarding this project, Ai Xiaolu had only heard of it. Every year, there were many of these so-called major projects that could affect the development of mankind. However, if this person was Wang Zheng, then it was completely different. Although Ai Xiaolu hadn't participated in IG, she had heard a lot about this person.
"However, I have a condition. Can you take off your mask for a look, Student Wang Zheng?" Ai Xiaolu smiled.
Snow Lee didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Xiaolu, don't mess around. We'll definitely meet in school. We'll talk about this after the trial ends. Right now, we have to focus on the trial."
"Dear Student Snow, it's not good to help an outsider."
"You little girl, are you looking for a beating …"
Clearly, as Snow Lee's best friend, Ai Xiaolu had heard a lot about Wang Zheng. Of course, there were also some private secrets that shouldn't be told to outsiders.
This person … could make Princess Aina fall in love with him???
Ai Xiaolu's gossipy fire was burning.
30 minutes later.
At the entrance of the Ice Territory trial.
Wang Zheng, who had just borrowed one billion from Snow Lee, also didn't know what to say. He had seen the contract, and it was indeed straightforward. It seemed that Ai Xiaolu's family was indeed good enough. He also had no choice. Marcus had opened his mouth, and it could only be said that the situation was worse. Otherwise, he wouldn't have looked for Wang Zheng again. Wang Zheng also knew in his heart that if he really couldn't get the money, he would do what he had to do. Mortgaging his shares was the same. He wouldn't renege on his debt. It was just that he didn't expect his former opponent to be so straightforward.
Originally, he just wanted to give it a try. If he failed, then he failed. Now it was different. He had to succeed.
Redington wanted to say a few words of sarcasm. If you don't have money, don't learn from others and start a research company. You even have to borrow money so shamefully. However, in the end, he didn't open his mouth. He wasn't stupid. Opening his mouth would only lower his status. However, the aristocratic smile on his face was saying, I have a lot of money, but I just won't lend it to you.
The Ice Territory trial was divided into 12 realms, also known as the 12 Palaces of Ice and Snow.
Every palace had a different test. The first 11 realms, through the intelligence card, followed the prescribed order. There was no danger along the way. Actually, Wang Zheng was basically just an assistant. Everyone's cooperation was very perfect.
Redington's Ability X was ice, but he had a very strong creative ability. Ice arrows, ice shields. The micro-control that Jiang Feng had mentioned was displayed incisively and vividly here. He was indeed an expert. No wonder he was from Class Xuan-1.
Ai Xiaolu and De Fulei were both from Class Xuan-3. Their abilities were also quite good. On the contrary, as the leader, Snow Lee might be the weakest. Of course, Snow Lee's identity was of great significance. Her potential was also far beyond the rest.
Ai Xiaolu's and De Fulei's abilities were also ice. It felt like they should have reached the level of upper C rank. As for Redington, it was very likely that he was an early B rank expert. It was no wonder that he was arrogant. He was so handsome that he could cause the downfall of countries and people. His ability was also strong. He was a typical tall, handsome, and rich person. His target was naturally only Snow Lee. If not, why would he have the time to waste in the World of Saints.
Although this thing had a certain amount of help in improving one's spiritual power, but it was after all a virtual thing. It was said that it was brought out by some martial arts. However, many people did not believe it. Even more people were full of doubts about the martial arts itself.
Those who could accept martial arts were actually only the people of the Solar System. This was the origin of civilization. The others did not take it seriously from the start. They only thought that this was a gimmick to train one's spiritual power in disguise.
However, when they reached the 11th realm, there was a change. There was an obvious flaw in Wang Zheng's spiritual power. This caused everyone to almost fail at the last step.
Luckily, Snow Lee used the Icebound Country and calmed Wang Zheng down.
This was simply an unbelievable thing. As an Ability X user, especially an Ability X user who could enter the Elite Academy X, willpower was the most important thing. A mere fantasy in the illusory world could make Wang Zheng lose his mind. This was too …
Wang Zheng was wearing a mask and no expression could be seen. However, he was very clear in his heart that all along, Wang Zheng's inner world was indeed without any blind spots. It was in a very perfect realm. Confidence, determination, perseverance. However, Aina's matter had indeed broken this realm.
What you firmly believed and persevered in the end could not withstand reality. Although it was your own choice, but there was indeed helplessness in it.
And for a practitioner, this could become a flaw. All along, Wang Zheng did not pay much attention to this matter. That was why he almost suffered a big loss in the illusory trial.
The last stage, the 12th realm. In front of the 10,000 mirrors maze, De Fulei looked at Wang Zheng coldly. Even with Snow Lee's orders, she no longer trusted Wang Zheng. On the information card, the 11th realm was the easiest to pass. Even though he knew that it was fake, as long as his willpower was a little stronger, there would not be a problem. However, there was a problem.
He really did not understand why Snow Lee would insist on bringing him to the Ice Territory trial. She even trusted him unconditionally.
Ai Xiaolu and Redington did not look good either. Snow Lee's Icebound Country was one of their trump cards to pass the 10,000 mirrors maze. They did not expect to use it in advance. Ai Xiaolu had heard of Wang Zheng's name. However, there were also many people who did not live up to their name.
Snow Lee was a little surprised, but did not care too much. She still looked at Wang Zheng with trust. "Next, it's all up to you."
Wang Zheng took off his mask. They were all classmates of the Elite Academy. There was no need to wear it. He did not expect that a trial that he did not care much about would find a flaw in his heart. This was because he did care. However, with Wang Zheng's ability, as long as he knew, it would not be a flaw anymore.
