The next day, when Shao Qing went out to set up her stall, she saw Meng Shen again. He gave Shao Qing a booklet. Shao Qing flipped through it and asked, "What's this?"
"My experience on spiritual power cultivation." Meng Shen smiled and said, "I organized it into a booklet last night. You can take it back and show it to your companions."
"Thank you." Shao Qing paused for a moment. She didn't know how to react. She originally thought that Meng Shen was a stupid, rich, and strange pervert. However, Meng Shen's behavior made her feel a little embarrassed.
"I like your … character very much. I want to be friends with you. You don't have to thank your friends." Meng Shen quickly recalled the booklet Yan Pingshen gave him before he came here. His memory was very good. He memorized that long booklet in a short while.
What a strange person. Shao Qing silently changed the label of Meng Shen from a stupid, rich pervert to a strange pervert. Then, from a strange pervert to a pervert that she could probably get in touch with.
Meng Shen said dryly, "There's one more thing. I came from Jiangbei Survivor Base. We're about to return to Jiangbei Survivor Base. I want to invite you … Um … Do you have a team of ability users?"
Shao Qing nodded and said, "My team is just a level-2 ability user team. Moreover, it's just formed not long ago. You'd better think about what you want to invite us to do first."
"It's like this. Many of the guards who escorted us here were injured along the way. It might be a little difficult for them to escort us back. Therefore, I want to invite your team to escort us back. You can treat it as a mission. I'll pay you according to the usual mission of the same level." Meng Shen said carefully, "I can also pay you half of the reward before the mission. The other half will be paid when we arrive at the destination. How about it?"
Shao Qing didn't agree rashly. Instead, she asked, "Why did you choose our team? I believe that you should have investigated in advance. In S City's survivor base, there are many powerful ability user teams. There are even three level-3 ability user teams. We're just a newly formed level-2 ability user team. If a normal person were to make a choice, they would choose from the three level-3 ability user teams, right? "
"You're very cautious." He was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which covered the sharpness of his eyes and softened his aura. "That's right. I did my research beforehand. My initial choice was one of the three level-three ability user teams. Later, you brought your team and the Storm team back. The Storm team was considered one of the more experienced and powerful ability user teams in your base. However, they were almost completely annihilated, and none of you were missing. Don't talk to me about luck. I don't believe in that. In my opinion, even luck is a part of strength."
"There's more." Shao Qing looked at Meng Shen calmly. Perhaps it was because Meng Shen had been trying to wash away his bad image in Shao Qing's mind, but he had failed. What he said just now changed Shao Qing's impression of him.
He was insightful, attentive, observant, and analytical. If he was strong, he would be rational when he needed to be. He would be a good friend.
Meng Shen continued, "I have analyzed your operation in detail. It is very difficult to not lose a single person. The requirements for a team leader are also very high. You need to have enough foresight, rationality, decisiveness, and a certain amount of luck. Of course, you must have enough strength and teamwork. I have tried to bring in several top esper teams from our base, but I found that none of them could guarantee that they could complete the mission without losing a single person. So, I chose you. Is this reason enough?"
Meng Shen was very smart. He chose to say 80% of the truth and 20% of the lies. This way, it was much harder to expose than a pure lie.
Shao Qing shook her head. "Even if I believe that you are sincerely inviting our team, I can't agree."
"Why?" Meng Shen frowned. "We can discuss the reward."
"As you said before, I have enough foresight, rationality, and decisiveness. It is because of this that I choose to refuse. A wise person should learn to give up appropriately. This mission is very difficult. I can't guarantee that I won't lose any of my teammates because of this mission. This is the main reason why I refuse." Shao Qing was very calm. "My team is different from others. All my teammates are my family and the closest people to me. I can't accept losing even one of them."
Meng Shen was anxious. "Your thinking is very wrong. Do you want to choose a mission that is not dangerous at all in the future? All the paranormals break through their limits in danger, and then progress little by little. You are protecting them like this, and also preventing them from becoming strong. "
Shao Qing didn't explain anything. She just said lightly, "I am a very strong person, so I must protect everyone under my wings. You may think that my decision is not good for their future, but I think that I don't need them to be strong and unstoppable. I just want them to live safely and healthily until the end of the world, or until the end of the world."
Meng Shen took a deep breath and couldn't help but say, "What if one day, even you can't protect them?"
"If there comes a day when I am unable to protect them, it will definitely be because of my death. Before I die, I will make proper arrangements for everyone. If they are about to be humiliated, I will take the first step and kill them. We will die together." Shao Qing curled her lips and said with a smile that was not a smile.
Meng Shen opened his eyes wide. He had never seen someone like Shao Qing. "You are simply unreasonable …"
Shao Qing smiled. "Thank you for the compliment."
