Urban Legends: The Legacy of Ancient Civilizations

Chapter 240 Double Hooks for Hanging Bait

"You think a lot.

If I tell you everything, is there any need to cooperate? "

Captain Dong showed a tight-lipped attitude, seemingly trying to force Bai Ning to give in.

This sudden ambiguity seems to indicate that the negotiation situation in the field is heading towards a final collapse.

However, in Bai Ning's eyes, this was nothing more than Captain Dong's last desperate struggle.

"Are you mistaken? The number of words you speak only means that you talk a lot of nonsense, but it does not mean that the information you provide is valuable.

These crystal products can cause the poisoned person to be in a state of dissociation. This is an established fact that does not require you to emphasize it repeatedly.

As for the elucidation of the near-death state, there are a lot of similar urban rumors. Some people even boldly stated that the cylindrical light passage seen in the near-death state is the channel leading to the divine world.

Why, whether the near-death state is related to life and death, whether it leads to the divine world, these meaningless information, and the fantasy that has no actual research results, are thrown out by you as an important bargaining chip. Don't you think it's ridiculous? "

Bai Ning's words negated the value of Captain Dong's previous words from the underlying logical level, and completely reduced Captain Dong's sincerity in throwing chips into dust.

In this clear analysis, the layer of confusion used by Captain Dong is like a fig leaf for self-deception, not covering up any dirty thoughts.

His idea of ​​perfunctory and blackmailing the actual value also completely disappeared in this offensive.

Captain Dong gritted his teeth as if he was angry, and the tight muscles of his jaw caused his fluffy beard to fluctuate greatly.

“I want this thing to hunt for dragons, what do you want it for?

For something that has nothing to do with you, risking your life to fight me, there must be some primitive interests as the driving force, right?

But judging from the current factual results, you don't seem to have any demands for dragon hunting, and you don't even cherish things like Liu Cheng and the dragon core.

You can't come here just to make trouble, like a street kid looking for trouble, right? "

As if he was completely irritated by Bai Ning, Captain Dong's tone at this time was very unkind, as if an innocent explorer was being troubled by an idle gangster, so that he seemed a little angry.

Another words that could completely collapse the negotiation situation made the situation further tense, like a bowstring stretched to its limit.

But in Bai Ning's eyes, this kind of performance is just like the noisy crying of a child, which is a meaningless self-deception.

"As you said, I am not here to find dragons, so, as I said before, there is actually no substantial conflict of interest between us.

That being the case, why did you design me into your plan to hunt for the dragon?

In the Undersea Dragon Palace, you want to sacrifice me with the blood to summon the dragon, and here, you want to induce me to overcome obstacles for you.

Although you have a rough and unruly face, you always like to do some insidious and calculating things.

In your overall expectation, you always seem to like to attribute everything you see to cannon fodder.

Therefore, in a strange relationship with no conflict of interest, you always play a role that actively harms other people.

As for me, it seems that I have always only protected myself, and I have never taken the initiative to kill you.

So, in this relationship where you are the main aggressive force, why are you still so aggrieved? "

Faced with Captain Dong's remarks that were akin to moral kidnapping, Bai Ning hit back hard with a loud mouth.

In this naked analysis, Captain Dong's unscrupulous selfish face is vividly exposed under the scorching sun.

The subsequent offensive continued to be perfectly resolved. Whether it was from the exchange of chips or from the overall moral standpoint, Captain Dong was in an absolute headwind.

Based on such a comprehensive comparison, Bai Ning's generous cooperation with Captain Dong seems to be a top-notch gift in the style of repaying evil with Germany.

His face was livid with anger, and his disordered breathing rhythm made Captain Dong's beard flutter and tremble. In the blink of an eye, Captain Dong burst out laughing again.

It looked like he was laughing out of anger, but from the sound of it, it sounded like a carefree and cheerful laugh.

At this time, Captain Dong was just like his appearance, a bold and open-minded person, and he was already amused by Bai Ning's slightly calculating thinking.

"Okay, okay.

So tell me, what secrets should I tell you to arouse your most sincere desire to cooperate? "

Captain Dong has an easy-going demeanor and a friendly tone, as if he is really an open-minded and good man.

However, this look in Bai Ning's eyes made alarm bells ring in his heart.

Because Bai Ning knew that this was Captain Dong's final test!

Captain Dong already feels that he cannot control the situation on the field. If he cannot obtain a basic sense of security during a cooperation, then he will definitely give up any possible risky attempts.

Just like what happened in the Undersea Dragon Palace, even if Bai Ning knew clearly that what he was holding was the Dragon Soul Crystal Core, once things developed beyond Captain Dong's expectations, he would still act without delay.

This is interesting. Is it too suppressed?

“Your own cautious character also makes you completely unable to trust other people, so you usually judge other people from the opposite perspective.

Therefore, cooperation is actually a difficult thing for you.

However, as you said, there is really no need for any conflict between us.

You want to hunt for dragons, and I also have things I want to do. There is no conflict between the two, and there is a need for cooperation at the current stage.

I think these two points are actually the basic premise for our cooperation and the most stable fundamentals.

As for your interpretation of sincerity in cooperation, I think you may have had some overreactions and some misunderstandings of the basic exchange logic.

I can give you the hostages you want, but there is a basic premise, that is, you must tell me the secrets related to these crystal products.

In this way, everyone has a trump card in their hands.

Control has the confidence to check and balance the other party. This is the basis for healthy cooperation.

As for the cooperation method in which one party has the upper hand, this is not cooperation, but coercion and slavery. "

Bai Ning's previous tit-for-tat actions were intended to create an overall image that was not easy to mess with. Only in this way would the two parties' understanding of the exchange of interests become equal.

In this way, even if Captain Dong wants to lie about the functional characteristics of crystal products, he must carefully weigh the cost of lying and the value of the benefits he can obtain by lying.

Bai Ning has a strong ability to analyze details, and he has the variable trump card of Liu Cheng, who is sober, which further restricts the possibility of Captain Dong lying about details.

Such a comprehensive sense of oppression made Captain Dong feel that he could not take any advantage at all, so he began to retreat.

In this case, Bai Ning simply let it go a little bit to make it feel profitable and have a control range for further operations.

As soon as Bai Ning said this, Captain Dong immediately fell into a state of silence, like a difficult choice and thinking, but its characteristics of not leaving showed that the bait released by Bai Ning was effective.

The fish bites the hook again, and the double hook hangs in its mouth, so he cannot escape if he wants to.
