“Yes, something is missing. But do you know what is missing?”Colonel Kono asked.
“I’m not sure about the details. It seems to be something important or valuable,”Jiang Fei said casually.
“Alright, it’s good that you don’t know.”Colonel Kono nodded and then changed the topic to something else.
“The consul will see you tomorrow, right?”Colonel Kono asked.
“HMM, I think so.”Jiang Fei nodded. If he did not know that the consul was planning to recruit him, he would not be in such a hurry to go down to the eleventh underground floor.
Although the adventure this time had yielded nothing, Jiang Fei had at least eliminated one suspicious location. Now, it seemed that the most likely place for the snow beast to exist was underground in the Life Extension Center.
Actually, it made sense. In the beginning, there was no development team. When there was no such game, the Life Extension Center was the only place to communicate with the three-dimensional world. Although the channel they used was not quite the same as the development team.., however, it was also achieved through the snow beasts. Therefore, it was very reasonable for the Snow Beasts to be in the Life Extension Center.
Now that he had eliminated a suspicious location, Jiang Fei’s goal became clearer.
“Then, do you have any plans?”Colonel Kono asked after a moment of silence.
“Who knows why the Archon is looking for me? What plans could I have?”Jiang Fei pretended to be stupid.
“Let’s not beat around the bush. Although you are from a poor family, I know that you are a smart person. Do you not know why the Archon is looking for you?”Colonel Kono did not want to beat around the bush with Jiang Fei anymore.
“Hehe…”Jiang Fei laughed, but he did not continue the conversation.
“Since you are pretending to be ignorant, then let me be the one to start this matter.”Colonel Kono shook his head helplessly, then, he said to Jiang Fei, “I don’t care if you are really ignorant or pretending to be ignorant. Anyway, the Archon wants to see you tomorrow. He definitely wants to recruit you. The purpose of his recruitment of you is very simple. That is to help you to balance me.”
“Oh!”Jiang Fei replied foolishly.
“Although the consul is playing the game of balance, I hope you can understand that we are not enemies,”Colonel Kono said to Jiang Fei.
“We are not enemies in the first place!”Jiang Fei laughed.
“That’s right. We are not enemies. However, the consul wants us to be able to fight against him. Therefore, we have to give him face. On the surface, we have to fight head-on. However, in private, I hope that if we have any conflicts, we can communicate with each other first to avoid unnecessary conflicts,”Colonel Kono said.
“Sure!”Jiang Fei nodded. Since Kono had already said so much, if he continued to play dumb, he would be looked down upon.
“Then, it’s a deal! You have just started. If there’s anything you need, you can tell me,”Colonel Kono said to Jiang Fei.
Because the magistrate would definitely not sit idly by and watch Colonel Kono take over. This was the balance of power of a ruler. Especially after he had suffered at the hands of the magistrate, the magistrate would pay more attention to balancing the strength of his subordinates, this was to prevent them from threatening his own rule.
Therefore, even without Jiang Fei, the Archon would still groom another person to be his opponent to prevent Colonel Kono from taking over.
Under such circumstances, Colonel Kono was of course willing to sell Jiang Fei out in advance. If the two of them just acted out their discord in front of the Archon, their lives would be much better.
After a simple verbal agreement, Colonel Kono chatted with Jiang Fei for a while. The two of them did not sign any agreement. After all, this was something that could only be understood in the dark. If they really had to produce any evidence.., the two of them would be in big trouble.
“Alright, I still have some matters to attend to. The underground 11th floor is very troublesome. I have to focus on this matter for the time being. If you have any needs, let Chinook come to me,”Colonel Kono finally stood up and said.
“Alright, Go and do your thing,”said Jiang Fei with a smile.
From the beginning to the end, Kono did not ask Jiang Fei much about the underground 11th floor robbery because in his eyes, Jiang Fei was not capable at all. There was no reason for him to do such a thing. In fact, in Kono’s eyes.., it was impossible for a country bumpkin like Jiang Fei to know the secret of the underground 11th floor.
Actually, it was not only Kono who had such thoughts. It was the same for everyone else. Jiang Fei’s identity as a member of the slums had actually made him the first person to be eliminated as a suspect. After all, he was from the slums, moreover, Jiang Fei did not even have the qualifications to enter the 10th underground floor. It was even more impossible for him to know about the existence of the 11th underground floor.
After sending Colonel Kono away, Jiang Fei’s lips curled into a smile. This result was within his expectations. Moreover, he had stolen these moon spirit crystals in order to make the gamma dimension chaotic. Therefore, Jiang Fei planned to spread the news of the Moon Spirit Crystals being stolen in two days, he would find an opportunity to spread the news that the moon crystals had been stolen. This was so that the citizens of the gamma dimension would panic. They would then rush to the bank and withdraw the Moon Crystals in their inventory.
This way, all the eyes of the ruling class, including the magistrate, would be focused on this place. This way, Jiang Fei would have a chance to sneak into the Life Extension Center.
Of course, Jiang Fei would not blindly release the news. After all, the lunar crystals had been stored in the inheritance space. Even if these people went to the heavens, they would not be able to find them again, therefore, it was impossible for them to make up for the deficit of the lunar crystals this month. The only thing the ruling class of the gamma space could do was to keep this secret. Only then would society remain stable. Once the news was leaked.., then, there would be chaos.
Therefore, Jiang Fei did not have to worry at all. The initiative had already fallen into his hands. He could first talk to the magistrate. If he could directly obtain higher authority.., moreover, he had the right to freely enter and exit the core of the Life Extension Center. Then, he could immediately release the news and create chaos. If he could not obtain the authority for the time being, then Jiang Fei could slowly run the business, he could gain the trust of the magistrate.
When he obtained these rights, Jiang Fei released the news. Anyway, the moon crystals would never be recovered. Therefore, the remote-controlled bomb in Jiang Fei’s hand would never lose its effect, he had the right to detonate it at any time!
On the other hand, Colonel Kono had brought his men to investigate everywhere. They had almost turned the entire life building upside down. However, they had not found anything. This was because Jiang Fei had long used the rights in his hands to clean up the traces that he had left behind, now that Colonel Kono had brought his men over, what else could they find?
Therefore, Colonel Kono and the higher-ups of the building of life were all anxious like ants on a hot pan. However, Jiang Fei was happy. He should eat and work. In the eyes of those people.., he was a country bumpkin who did not know anything. Ignorance made him fearless.
