Bernhard had indeed combined biotechnology and superpowers. Now, he had created monsters and mass-produced superpowered troops, and Gao Qi had contributed to all of this.
Just the thought of it was disgusting.
But now that things had come to this, it was too late to say anything. It was better to think carefully about how to defeat Bernhard.
Improving his strength was still the most important thing, because in today's era of personal strength, it was not impossible to defeat an entire city alone. If Gao Qi still had the strength of an Archmage, then thousands of troops would not be able to withstand a single blow from him.
Times had changed, the pattern of war had changed, and everything was changing, but strength was the most important thing.
It was just that cultivating behind closed doors required time, and Bernhard's expansion was progressing at a rapid pace. The biggest problem now was time.
Gao Qi always felt like he was being pushed. When his plan did not go smoothly, it was as if he had to make a big choice, and Bernhard would definitely force him to make a bad choice.
This feeling that made Gao Qi unhappy appeared again.
"In addition, the Bounty Hunter Guild's first aid to the Red Square is ten million standard gold coins. After purchasing weapons from City One, they will be transferred to the Red Square. In addition, there are 100 doses of genetic modification fluid. Whether it is weapons or genetic modification fluid, they can increase the strength of the Red Square in a short period of time. This is only the first aid. Also, we are willing to provide you with a large number of energy cores to use!"
John's expression was as if he had been greatly wronged. Then, he said to Gao Qi in an extremely sad tone, "I bought and stored a large number of energy cores. I wanted to make a big profit, but now, only you and Bernhard can use the energy cores."
Gao Qi did not say anything, because he knew that John must have something else to say.
Sure enough, John said helplessly, "Bernhard is willing to buy the energy cores at a high price, but I can't sell them to him. But you, you don't have to spend money to buy them. As long as you are willing to go to the Red Square and help resist Bernhard's attack, the Bounty Hunter Guild is willing to give you all the energy cores I have stored here for free. This is your reward for helping."
Gao Qi thought for a moment and said, "You mean, I have to be the middleman on the surface, and I have to go to the Red Square personally to participate in the battle, and in the end, I will get the energy cores you provide."
"Yes."
Gao Qi shook his head and said, "If you want to say that, then find someone else. I don't want the energy cores, and I won't help you."
John was stunned for a moment and said, "You just said that you were willing to help."
Gao Qi said calmly, "Since you want to insult my intelligence, then don't blame me for not keeping my word. Let me put it this way. Bernhard is my mortal enemy, but we have a personal grudge. I just want to improve my strength now. When I am sure that I can kill him, then I will seek revenge on him. As for what has happened in the world during this period of time, does it affect me at all?"
John frowned and said, "But you have to stop Bernhard. You can't let his strength increase rapidly."
Gao Qi could not be bothered to talk nonsense with John, because what he needed now was to quickly improve his strength, not to go to the Red Square and help Rosario Novich fight to the death.
It was a very simple problem. Bernhard was a scientist and an ambitious man, but Bernhard would definitely not go to the Red Square personally. No matter how hard Gao Qi fought in the Red Square, he would not have a chance to kill Bernhard.
If it was just to be a middleman, Gao Qi would be willing to do it. However, he would definitely not participate in the battle personally, because it would be giving up what was near at hand to seek what was far away.
Gao Qi was now determined. He did not want to get any benefits from John, but he did not want his plans to be disrupted again.
In particular, Gao Qi was surprised to find that every time John appeared, his plans would definitely be disrupted. He began to suspect that John was deliberately sent by Bernhard to cause trouble.
"I'll be frank. I'll do my best to help, even if it's just to make Bernhard feel disgusted. However, I can't let you disrupt my plans. Do you understand? I can't go to the Red Square now, and I can't help you get chestnuts out of the fire. If you want to stop Bernhard, you'd better do it yourself."
After clearly expressing his position, Gao Qi said to John, "I don't want your energy cores, and I don't want money. Now, you can't give me what I want, so that's it. I can help you, but only as a middleman. It's impossible for me to fight to the death for you. It has nothing to do with benefits."
John frowned, and then he finally said, "You can choose not to go to the Red Square, and you can choose not to participate in the battle. However, we can still give you the energy cores, because we don't have any use for them, but you can use them."
Gao Qi thought for a while, and then he shook his head gently. "No, I don't want them."
John said with a look of astonishment, "Free. I'm talking about giving them to you for free, without any conditions."
Gao Qi said firmly, "I don't want them even if you give them to me for free."
Huang Fei finally could not hold it in. He said anxiously, "Why don't you want them for free? A Screwdriver, are you stupid? "
Gao Qi's strength was built on the energy cores, but that was in the past. Now, Gao Qi had finally touched on elemental energy, and he saw another world. It did not seem like a good thing to have too many energy cores now.
An endless supply of energy cores was a huge fortune, but Gao Qi felt that this was a trap. A trap to make him indulge in the current power system, so that he could continue to use magic and give up on exploring elemental energy. Even if it was just to slow him down, it was still a trap.
Instinctively, Gao Qi resisted all possibilities of slowing down his exploration. Therefore, he did not want any benefits that were given to him for free, no matter how great the benefits were.
At this moment, Han Ruofeng suddenly said, "Are you disappointed that Gao Qi doesn't want your energy cores? Why are you disappointed?"
Han Ruofeng could read other people's thoughts.
John frowned. "Of course I'm disappointed. This is not in line with our plan. Now, the strongest individuals are all here. If Gao Qi doesn't want to fight, and if all of you don't want to fight, then … we won't be able to defend the Red Square."
Han Ruofeng was still looking at John with a scrutinizing gaze. Then he suddenly took a step forward, pressed his hand on John's shoulder, and said in a low voice, "Tell me, what exactly are you here for?"
John's gaze became unfocused. He said without hesitation, "Persuade Gao Qi to go to the Red Square to fight against Bernhard."
"Why must we let Gao Qi go to the Red Square?"
John seemed to resist, but he quickly said, "Because only Gao Qi can fight against Bernhard. As long as he goes, Dongfang Shu will go, and so will Nadak. They are the strongest individuals in the world now. One against two. With a small price, we can gather the strongest individuals in the world to stop Bernhard's advance."
Han Ruofeng seemed to be struggling. He said in a low voice, "Tell me all the reasons. Don't hide anything!"
John seemed to be resisting. Then he finally said in a low voice, "If Gao Qi goes to the Red Square, Bernhard will definitely go. The best result is for both Bernhard and Gao Qi to die in the Red Square. Because the two of them are the biggest unstable factors in the world!"
