Chapter 307: I admit that I was a little too loud just now

“Yes, so why did you gluttonous fellow only come now?” Upon hearing this, Hongfu looked at Lili, who was shaking his body, and asked.

This gluttonous cat shouldn’t think that he could escape responsibility just by acting cute. Even if he acted cute, he still had to give them an explanation.

“This cat naturally had something to do. At this time, who would still come out to work?” Lili, who was asked, said, and took out AD calcium milk from his spatial backpack and distributed it to everyone. “Let’s not talk about this so much, everyone drink milk and calm down first.”

“So, you were late just to buy this?” Looking at the AD calcium milk in her hand, Hongfu said angrily.

But the speed of her hand was still very quick as she tore open the packaging and inserted the straw.

Don’t tell me, this thing was actually quite delicious, both sour and sweet.

“Of course not, this cat had a more important task, so I delayed things.” Lili slurped the AD calcium milk and said, speaking to Mathew who was on the side. “Mathew, didn’t the other party say they wanted to see us? Where are they?”

Didn’t they say they wanted to see them? Why didn’t he see anyone here?

“They are currently in their own lair, Cat Bro. If we want to see them, we have to go find them.” Mathew replied, hugging the AD calcium milk like he was holding a hot water bottle.

“Really? That’s really troublesome.” Hearing this, Lili couldn’t help but mutter.

These guys wanted to see them and made them wait here, which was really outrageous. Logically speaking, they should have come to pick them up.

How could they do things this way? They really didn’t understand the rules at all.

“It’s alright, who told us that we want to earn their money? We have to work a little harder.” Mathew said upon hearing this.

It was definitely troublesome, but there was nothing they could do. Who told them that they wanted to earn other people’s money?

“Alright, then let’s go see this employer now and ask about her requirements by the way.” Lili nodded and said.

Since they were already here, they might as well take a look.

“En.” Mathew replied and led Lili and the others towards the Dragon Nest.

“Queen, Queen, the short one who went out just now has returned, with a group of people behind him.”

Inside the cave that radiated scorching heat, a goblin trotted in and reported the information he had gathered.

“Oh? That short one brought his teammates so quickly?” The queen, lying on the scorching lava throne, couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this. “Inform the subordinates to prepare to welcome them, don’t let people see and say that we don’t understand the rules.”

“Yes, Queen.” The goblin replied and immediately informed his subordinates to do so.

Soon, the entire Red Flame Dragon Nest became lively. Goblins, dwarves, and trolls began to appear one after another.

“There are quite a few small creatures in this forest.” Lili said, looking at the surroundings. Were they just kobolds, dwarves, and trolls? They looked quite interesting.

He just didn’t know how they would feel when he beat them up.

“Greetings, esteemed guests! We have come to receive you under the queen’s orders. Please follow us this way.” A tall, two-headed troll said to Lili and the others, his eyes filled with curiosity.

He seemed to be sizing them up as different from himself.

“Okay, this cat understands.” Lili nodded his big head and, while taking steps to follow the other party, said, “I say, isn’t your Dragon Nest a bit too simple? Such a large territory and there are actually so few magical beasts to serve as mounts. Do you usually just walk on foot during battles?”

This World of Warcraft was too backward, right? There wasn’t even any means of transportation to welcome them? Making them walk on foot, this was a bit too backward, right?

“Excuse me, esteemed guests, but this is the situation.” The troll couldn’t help but show an embarrassed expression upon hearing this.

How could they have thought of this? And for esteemed guests like them, walking on foot or riding mounts was probably the same, right?

“Alright!” Lili said helplessly. “As one of the most powerful organizations in the Warcraft continent, you need to learn about this thing called a ‘filter,’ you know? Don’t be complacent, go out and see the world more, and you will find that this world is very different.”

“Yes, yes!” The troll nodded upon hearing this, almost not knowing how to respond to these words. This Warcraft was too long-winded, wasn’t he?

“For example, if you want to develop and grow, you need to build roads first, you know? Look at your place, overgrown with weeds, not even a wide road. How can you guarantee marching speed during future military operations? Don’t end up with the war being over before your troops even arrive.”

“And there’s no lookout tower built there. Your place is overgrown with trees. You won’t be able to see enemies hiding in the bushes, and if someone slits your throat, you won’t even react.”

“Wow, why are you all naked? You look like a bunch of brutes. This is an era that emphasizes equipment, understand? At least wear some armor. And you, such a small guy, jumping around, aren’t you afraid of dying too quickly?” Lili shook his head as he walked, his head almost breaking after seeing this Warcraft army. No wonder they had to hire outside help, just look at their appearance, they didn’t look like guys who could fight.

The two heads of the troll beside him were getting bigger from listening. Although their legion wasn’t the strongest, it wasn’t weak either, right? Why did it sound like they were completely useless in the other party’s words?

“Speaking of which, Cat Cat Captain, do you actually understand these things about marching and fighting?” Feng Ruxue asked curiously.

Wasn’t it a bit out of line for a cat to know so much?

“Of course he understands a bit, after all, you can learn a lot of things just by watching TV every day, but it’s unclear how much of what he knows is true.” Xiong Guang said from the side.

The other party’s world was relatively open when it came to knowledge, and coupled with the fact that programs were often shown on TV, it was normal for ordinary people to have access to this kind of knowledge.

Moreover, Cat Cat Captain wasn’t an ordinary cat, so it was only natural for him to know a bit about this.

“I see, then it seems that what Cat Cat Captain said is indeed useful.” Feng Ruxue nodded involuntarily after listening.

“It seems that this friend is quite knowledgeable about marching and fighting.” Just as they were about to reach the entrance of the cave, a huge figure walked out from inside and said to Lili with a smile.

“Of course, this cat wouldn’t dare to say anything else, but I do have some knowledge about this kind of thing.”

Looking at the tall figure in front of him, covered in scales and armor, Lili said, “I can help you train them and teach them some professional knowledge. I can definitely help you turn them into a powerful army. What do you think? Are you interested in giving it a try?”

“That’s a good idea, but you’re probably not helping for free, right?” The Dragon Queen said, her gaze fixed on Lili. She noticed that his eyes were shining with a faint golden light, which was exactly the same as when she saw treasure.

“Of course, as the saying goes, even brothers settle accounts clearly, right? You are such a great lord, if I don’t charge a little money, wouldn’t that be looking down on you too much?” As Lili spoke, he took out a calculator from his spatial backpack, preparing to calculate the price for her.

“Cough cough~”

Feng Ruxue and the others were dumbfounded when they saw this. This cat, was he really that shrewd?

He actually started calculating the bill for her directly.

“I can handle this kind of thing myself, no need to trouble you, friend. I invited you all here for something else.” Seeing this scene, the Dragon Queen said speechlessly.

As for the things the other party mentioned, she could buy them directly from the mall, there was no need for the other party to help, right? The other party saying this clearly meant that he wanted to rip her off.

“I know, but the quality of your troops is really worrying. I think if this matter isn’t resolved, it will become a big problem.” Lili said, showing a look of concern for her.

The Dragon Queen, upon seeing this, couldn’t help but say speechlessly, “If you keep pestering me, then we don’t need to talk about our business anymore.”

“Don’t, don’t! Don’t be so angry, this cat is just kindly reminding you, there’s no other meaning, don’t be like this.” Lili hurriedly said upon hearing this.

He just wanted to do some extra business, did she have to be like this?

“I appreciate your kindness, but I don’t need it. I hope you can put this kindness away.” The Dragon Queen said and made a “please” gesture.

“Alright then!” Lili could only helplessly follow after seeing this. He didn’t expect the other party to be so decisive.

She could have at least haggled with him a bit, bargained or something. Why reject him directly? The price he offered wasn’t expensive.

“Gluttonous cat, you still want to learn from Little Mathew how to do business? Unfortunately, your talent is really too poor. I think you still need to learn for a while longer.” Hongfu, seeing this, walked over to Lili with a smile and said.

This gluttonous cat really thought that business was so easy to do? This thing depended on talent, and he clearly didn’t have much talent.

“What do you mean by ‘learn for a while longer’? This cat’s talent is very strong, okay? It’s just that the other party didn’t give this cat the chance, otherwise, this cat would definitely make her bleed.” Upon hearing this, Lili immediately retorted.

What did she mean by saying that his business talent wasn’t high? His talent was clearly very high, it was just that the other party was too difficult to deal with.

“I think, out of your whole body, your mouth is the hardest.” Hongfu said with a scolding smile and followed Mingmin inside.

“Hmph!” Lili snorted coldly and looked at the somewhat dilapidated walls, saying angrily, “Aren’t you afraid of this cave collapsing? She’s a great lord after all. Can’t she be a bit more refined?”

“Uh, Cat Bro, you’re speaking too soon. You’ll understand when you go inside.” Mathew couldn’t help but say upon hearing this.

From Cat Bro’s current perspective at the entrance of the cave, this place did seem a bit unrefined, but he would discover something different once he went inside.

“Oh? Could there be a hidden world inside?” Lili muttered curiously and walked inside.

Soon, his eyes were almost blinded. He saw that the Dragon Nest was filled with gold, silver, and jewels, as well as walls made of large diamonds and agates.

He could say that he had never seen such a luxurious place before. He really never expected this Dragon Nest to be so well-hidden.

“Cat Bro, pay attention to your image, your drool is about to drip down.” Seeing Lili’s sparkling eyes, Mathew reminded him.

Look at Cat Bro’s appearance, it was as if he had written “greedy for money” all over his face.

“This cat also wants to hold back the drool, but there are really too many things here, making this cat’s mouth dry.” Lili couldn’t help but say upon hearing this.

It was true that dragons were greedy for money. Look at her collection, it almost made him envious to death. If there weren’t people here, he would have wanted to move all these things back home.

“Please sit down, if there’s anything, let’s talk about it after we sit down.” The Dragon Queen said to the group with a smile.

“Okay.” Mingmin and the others sat down on the chairs after hearing this, waiting for the other party’s next words.

“As expected, everyone is as strong as Mathew’s friend said. Now I can rest assured about the commission I’m entrusting to you all.” The Dragon Queen looked at everyone and smiled.

“No problem, you can leave this kind of thing to us.” Lili nodded his big head and replied, “But I don’t know how the payment will be made? Will it be given now or after the fight?”

The other party was so rich, she probably wouldn’t renege on their little bit of payment, right?

Could she give it to them earlier? Of course, he didn’t mean anything else, it was mainly that he would feel more at ease if he got the money earlier.

“The payment will definitely not be less for you all, you can rest assured about this.” The Dragon Queen smiled at everyone upon hearing this. “The reason I invited you all here, besides wanting to see your strength, is also to discuss the plan for this operation.”

As she spoke, she had the troll hold up a large map inside for everyone to see.

“Please look at the map, everyone. This is the terrain of the Bone Kingdom. They are located in the largest underground cave in the Warcraft continent and have tens of millions of skeleton soldiers.”

“And most importantly, as long as their soul fire doesn’t extinguish, they can easily find a corpse to revive in a short period of time. They are very difficult opponents to deal with.” The Dragon Queen pointed at the map and said to everyone.

“If they are so difficult to deal with, then why should we deal with them? Wouldn’t it be better to leave these tough bones to the other guys in the Warcraft continent?” Lili raised his paw and said.

These guys were so difficult to deal with, so why bother with them? It couldn’t be for something like upholding justice, right? No one would believe that if they said it out loud.

“Because I have my eyes on something, and these old skeletons are unwilling to hand it over obediently, so I can only use some means.” The Dragon Queen said calmly, not intending to hide anything.

Anyway, once the commotion here spread out after the fight, they would know anyway, so it was better to be honest and explain it clearly to them.

“Really? Then it seems that this thing is very important.” Lili couldn’t help but ponder upon hearing this.

For this thing, the other party wanted to fight an underground cave with tens of millions of skeletons, so it seemed that this thing wasn’t simple.

“Yes, otherwise, I wouldn’t have invited you here to help.” The Dragon Queen said and pointed to the red dot marked on the Bone Kingdom. “This is the location of another Skeleton King. What you need to do is hold them back and prevent them from sending troops to support. As for the other place, I can handle it myself, no need for you to come.”

“No problem, as long as you’re happy, I have no objections to this.” Lili nodded and replied. The other party was taking one place and leaving the other to them, and they didn’t even need to help. Of course, he was happy, so how could he possibly refuse?

“That’s good, then we can sign the agreement now.” The Dragon Queen said and took out a parchment.

No matter how nice she sounded, if there was no agreement signed, she still felt uneasy. After all, things like backstabbing had happened many times in the Jianghu. If there were no binding measures, no matter how eloquently the other party spoke, it was untrustworthy.

“Okay, then you write it. But after you finish writing, we have to take a look. We can only sign after confirming that there are no problems.” Lili said, indicating that the other party could write whatever they wanted, and as long as it wasn’t too outrageous, they could consider it.

“En.” The Dragon Queen nodded and began to write.

Lili, seeing this, looked towards the wall and began to ponder how many treasures were on the other party’s wall and how much they were worth.

“The agreement has been written, you can take a look. If there are no problems, then we can prepare to set off.”

The Dragon Queen handed the contract to Mathew and said.

“Okay.” Mathew nodded after taking the contract, confirming that there were no problems with the time, date, and general content. Then he handed the contract to the others to read.

“Gluttonous cat, what are you looking at? Hurry up and look at this.” Seeing that Lili was still looking around, Hongfu couldn’t help but scold him with a smile.

Why didn’t she notice that this gluttonous cat was so greedy for money before? He was almost sticking his eyeballs to the wall.

“Oh, oh.” Upon hearing this, Lili turned his head. “What’s there to see in this contract? Anyway, if you think there are no problems, then we can sign it. No need to ask me specifically for my opinion.”

What was there to ask about signing a contract? If Little Sister and the others thought it was okay, then they could just sign it directly.

Anyway, they had all read it, so it didn’t matter if he read it or not.

“Alright then, we’ll sign it.” Hongfu said with a smile and signed her name on the parchment. The others followed suit and signed their names after seeing it.

In a short while, the contract was filled with densely packed names.

“Very good! From now on, we are on the same side. Happy cooperation.” Looking at the contract, the Dragon Queen said with a smile.

With this contract, she wasn’t worried about the other party betraying them and could focus on other things with peace of mind.

“En, en.” Lili nodded his big head and then said, “Can I pick a small red stone off your wall? I suddenly remembered that I have a sister who really likes these flashy little things. If she sees me bring it back, she will definitely be very happy.”

“Of course, no problem, but only one. These little things are what I use to tile the wall. If you take them all away, my wall will be empty.” The Dragon Queen said.

Since they were so straightforward, she would reluctantly let him dig out a gemstone.

“Okay, thank you.” Upon hearing this, Lili immediately dug out the ruby.

Seeing this scene, Hongfu and the others couldn’t help but twitch their eyelids.

As expected, it was better to be shameless, otherwise, you wouldn’t get any benefits. Look at this rascal, how shameless he was, he immediately got the benefit.
