It felt like a major event!
Luo Nan recalled the information he had gathered since his meeting with Blood Demon. Putting everything else aside, just the people mentioned in the Blood Demon's words … actually, only one of them was needed.
The person who provided the secret deed to Blood Demon and agreed to act as his artist was High Lord Secretdeed. Even with Luo Nan's meager knowledge, he knew of this powerful Extraordinary who stood at the peak of the world.
If the Extraordinary of Earth had to be ranked, it was impossible for this old man to fall out of the top five, no matter how restrictive the conditions were.
In comparison, Blood Demon's weight was a bit lacking.
Of course, Blood Demon's words could be trusted, but they could not be completely trusted. Luo Nan would still be skeptical if he rewound the clock five minutes ago. The problem was that Wan Liuhua, whom Blood Demon had privately invited, had appeared. This dispelled most of Luo Nan's suspicions.
The remaining suspicions were merely remnants due to Luo Nan's unfamiliarity with Wan Liuhua.
This bit of residue was nothing. He did not recognize Wan Liuhua before this, but the Extraordinary itself could not be faked. Moreover, the Blood Demon would not go so far as to use such an easily exposed lie to sway him. He could ask Her Majesty Empress Wu later, or even Zhang Yingying.
Since most of what Blood Demon said was true, then the matter he described was a major event that clearly exceeded the scope of personal grudges...
Could Luo Nan's own body contain it?
Luo Nan did not even need to think about it. He already knew the answer.
Sure enough, it was easier to maintain an intimate distance with callous reality compared to a pie that would never be delivered to the mouth.
Luo Nan was unable to guess the plans of High Lord Secretdeed and Blood Demon for a time. He could only rely on the fragments of information he had obtained before to make a wild guess.
"Are you guys preparing to take advantage of the situation and make a stunning appearance? Are you guys preparing to unleash a great internal strife technique and have everyone beat each other's dog brains out?"
Blood Demon did not react to these words, but Wan Liuhua, who appeared to be more reserved and calm to the side, coughed and laughed. "Oh my. You're much cuter than the rumors say."
"...."
Blood Demon did not deny it. Perhaps he was purely following along with Luo Nan's words and spouting nonsense. "You might not be able to see the dog brains. Actually, we just want to poke a few pustules and expose a few scars. We want to urge everyone to treat them sooner. That's all."
Luo Nan just stared at him.
The Blood Demon shrugged. "Fine. No matter what the situation is, only masochists and bootlickers will be satisfied in the end if they do things according to other people's rules. From this point of view, it wouldn't be wrong to say that we just want the world to be in chaos … It's just that the current rules are too unfriendly.
"We need to change him. This kind of thing can't be done by one person, and we can't support it. Moreover, to gather hundreds of millions of people, not to mention the success rate, we aren't cut out for it either.
"This way, we can't return to the original point, and we can't achieve the ultimate universality. So, we might as well pursue a small circle of temporary perfection … This choice is the most normal one."
Luo Nan ignored Blood Demon's ultimate explanation. He just asked, "How do you want to change it?"
"Hehe, this is a core secret." Blood Demon gave Luo Nan a wink. Luo Nan responded with a chill, and Blood Demon cackled. "Actually, it's not that mysterious. It's just that for the sake of respecting my current companions and for the sake of results, I need to limit the scope of those who know as much as possible. Of course, if you're also a 'companion', then there's definitely no problem! What do you think? Want to join? "
Since you said so …
"I'm not joining." Luo Nan's answer was simple and direct.
Blood Demon clicked his tongue, but he wasn't particularly surprised. "Why don't we talk a bit more? Give me a reason?"
Luo Nan grunted, "Mr. Blood Demon, what you said is indeed extremely useful information. It's also a very good train of thought. However, I'm thinking that the things you proposed, whether it's a circle or a backdoor, all of them require an exchange of benefits in the end, right? "
"More or less."
"Then it just so happens that tonight, I won't … I won't allow anyone to place any of my grandfather's laboratory equipment, notes, and other related items on the shelf."
"Hey, these things aren't within the scope of our exchange of benefits. We really respect the bottom line of our companions."
"Then it's even more unfortunate … … I'm very young. I'm immature. So my bottom line might be extremely willful."
Luo Nan faced the two Extraordinaries and spread his hands. Soon, he clenched his fists and waved them up and down like a scale. "Actually, there's another reason for this. Mr. Blood Demon, the things you've described and discussed before aren't in my domain of expertise. This makes it impossible for me to make a judgment that I can convince myself of."
"The problem is that you're very young. You can learn …."
Luo Nan interrupted him. "Mr. Blood Demon, do you think I'm a genius?"
Blood Demon was a bit stunned, then he laughed loudly. "If you're not a genius, then you can erase this concept from human language right now."
Luo Nan just shook his head in the face of such overpraise. "In fact, just researching configuration and superconfiguration has pretty much pushed my mental energy and computing power to the limit. I'm still unable to reach perfection in the domain I'm good at and continue to research. How can I rashly open up a new and equally profound domain? "
Blood Demon was still persuading. "Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. Everyone can learn from each other's strengths to make up for their weaknesses. We can rely on each other!"
"This brings us back to a more fundamental question. Mr. Blood Demon, do you think I should rely on you? Can I trust you unconditionally? "
Blood Demon was a bit startled before he laughed. But his answer turned vague in the end. "Trust itself is an illusory thing …."
"Making a judgment in a domain you're not good at is equally illusory. Then let's find something more practical. Mrs. Wan just said that Her Majesty Empress Wu has just become a core member of the Club. Is she involved in this matter? "
"... She isn't."
"I think so as well. Then I'll target this substantial frame of reference." Luo Nan used a very casual yet rather persuasive reason to nail this matter down.
"Whether it's the auction or the Round Table Conference, I'm happy to see everyone smash tonight's impromptu agenda into smithereens. You don't need to do anything. It's the same if I do it. Everyone will be able to maintain a tacit understanding …. As for whether or not we can achieve the greatest results, whether or not we can keep up with each other's tempo, that will depend on our level of tacit understanding. I believe that Mr. Blood Demon is most likely thinking the same thing. "
Blood Demon looked at Wan Liuhua. Wan Liuhua smiled without saying a word.
At their level, as long as they wanted a bit of face, clinging to each other didn't exist at all. Plus, Luo Nan had pretty much pointed out the key points here.
Did Blood Demon really want to pull Luo Nan into their circle?
He was afraid not.
Even if Blood Demon could really spout lotus flowers and break the heavens with his words, everyone was just meeting for the first time. Why should Luo Nan listen to him, believe him, and do as he said?
As long as Blood Demon had the slightest bit of self-awareness, he wouldn't have such extravagant hopes.
In the end, this was just a 'briefing' before a major event.
Luo Nan wasn't fooled by Blood Demon, but Blood Demon was putting on an act to the end. It was as if it was real. Blood Demon said, "All right. Brother, you have your own ideas. There's no reason for us to be stubborn. However, Master Wan has come. The conditions are complete. It shouldn't be a problem to simply join the Starry Sky Club, right? Even though this circle is a bit messy, we can enter like Wu Huang. Everyone can share some resources and information, slowly increasing friendship and trust. Isn't that good? "
"Of course." Luo Nan was still straightforward.
Blood Demon clapped his hands. "Good. We didn't get the bonus point question. But this result is more than a step ahead of our expectations …. Brother, we really hit it off. "
Luo Nan lowered his head and laughed.
However, the Blood Demon soon brought up another topic. "If we really want to form a circle and form a clique, there's still a process to go through. However, before that happens, we can choose to do a few things to increase our friendship. "
"Huh?"
"Brother, you're already here, and Nephew Gu has acknowledged you as a member of the circle. You should make use of your connections as much as you can …"
Nephew Big Takar had been eating melons until he was stuffed. He always felt that he knew too much. He was frowning in distress as to how he should digest this information when he was suddenly called out. He was stunned on the spot.
Blood Demon extended his hand. He didn't point at Takar. Instead, he pointed at the auction catalog page in the projection area. His words had nothing to do with it. "How can we increase our friendship? We've been through the same window together. We've been through a gun together. We've been together …. Ah, snatch!"
Blood Demon forcefully changed his words under Wan Liuhua's gaze. His smile grew more and more radiant, revealing his dense white teeth.
"Of course. How can you call it snatching when it comes to Extraordinaries?"
