Chapter 89

After all, if she weren't proficient in these methods, she would have been caught long ago.

But even so, Sparkle still fell into the net here.

Just like he, Sampo, was.

"Did you capture her before getting the information?" Sampo said dejectedly.

"Not at all, she sold you out directly, just to get my guards away." Lin Qi smiled.

"..."

Sampo was silent again, not knowing what to say.

It wasn't until his mood calmed down that he spoke again.

"Great Commander, you caught me, it shouldn't just be to announce that Sparkle was captured, right?"

"Of course not, I'm not that bored."

Lin Qi continued, "I don't want Jarilo-VI under my rule to have existences I don't control. You Masked Fools are this hidden danger. So, even for this purpose, I have always issued a wanted order for you until you leave or are caught."

"So that's how it is." Sampo nodded, considering he understood Lin Qi's personality.

How should I put it.

Doesn't look like a genius, more like a ruler? Or a dictator?

No wonder the rumor says Lin Qi is an Emanator of Destruction.

That makes sense.

Without waiting for Sampo to continue, Lin Qi spoke again, "So, you only have two choices before you."

"First, leave Jarilo-VI forever. I remember that you did many good deeds in the Underworld before, and you didn't cause much chaos after I took over, so I can let bygones be bygones. But as long as I find out you are still on Jarilo, it won't be as simple as today."

Sampo breathed a sigh of relief.

If he had a choice, he definitely wouldn't want to die.

Being able to leave is fine.

But for now, let's listen to the second choice.

"Then... what's the second one?"

"The second one is for you to work for me."

Lin Qi's answer surprised Sampo.

Letting a Masked Fool work for you, aren't you afraid of being cheated?

Sampo was just thinking.

As a result, Lin Qi's next words surprised him even more.

"I heard that you can often get some scarce resources and do some small business, so you must have some insights into trading. Then have you ever thought about doing it bigger? Being a real interstellar merchant, trading with a planet, or even a faction? Instead of playing small like this?"

"Ah?"

At this moment.

Sampo was stunned.

He never expected Lin Qi to let him do this.

Could it be that he doesn't know his identity?

No.

Lin Qi knows.

But he is a Masked Fool.

How dare he?

Seemingly seeing Sampo's doubt, Lin Qi explained.

"Didn't I say it before? I've investigated your background. I know you're a Masked Fool, and I also know you're a Masked Fool with a bottom line."

"Otherwise, why would you do good deeds in the Underworld?"

"I suppose you have your own persistence and bottom line. I don't know how you became a Masked Fool, but I'm willing to give you a chance to turn over a new leaf."

"Of course, this doesn't mean you have to discard your identity as a Masked Fool."

"After all, letting an Elation follower be a merchant is quite Elated in itself. If you do quite well... then it's even more Elated, isn't it?"

Lin Qi's words left Sampo speechless.

But he had to admit that what Lin Qi said made a lot of sense.

This matter is indeed quite Elated.

Just thinking about it, he knew how loud his peers would laugh after learning about this.

Sampo didn't agree, nor did he refuse.

Asked, "Great Commander, I want to ask one last question, are you... really not afraid of being cheated by me?"

"Not afraid."

Lin Qi shook his head and said, "I might be cheated, but you only have one chance. And if you don't intend to cheat me, then I think... it's unlikely my chamber of commerce will be cheated by others? Don't you think?"

"You really have eyes like torches."

Sampo laughed dryly.

Because when Lin Qi said the first half, he felt pressure.

Obviously.

As long as he deceived Lin Qi, he had to be prepared to pay the price.

It is certain.

At that time, it definitely wouldn't be as easy to talk to as it is now.

As for the second half.

It was indeed as Lin Qi said.

After all...

Only a Masked Fool can cheat a Masked Fool.

"I'll take this job!" Sampo nodded and agreed.

Lin Qi didn't hesitate and said directly, "Xueyi, untie him."

"Understood, Doctor." Xueyi nodded.

After the ropes were untied, Sampo rubbed his wrists, not intending to run, but continued to ask.

"Great Commander, what should I sell now?"

"You've already seen the item, maybe you've even been injected with it." Lin Qi replied.

"Desperate Gospel injection? This thing shouldn't be sold!" Sampo shook his head repeatedly.

"I know, many planets have it as a controlled item, not allowing genetic enhancement agents to be listed, fearing that ordinary people will cause chaos after gaining power."

Saying this.

Lin Qi took out a sample, "I don't intend to sell the full version; this thing isn't suitable for everyone in the universe, and this is the future advantage of Jariloans, how could I weaken it? So I'm selling a low-profile version, which greatly reduces the effect, whether it's self-healing ability or physical enhancement, not even one-tenth of the original, but it has extremely excellent adaptability and basically no side effects."

Lin Qi paused and continued, "So, you can completely sell it as a health product, understand?"

After Sampo finished listening, he could only sigh and say, "Great Commander, you are the true Elation!"

"Hahaha, actually I am Aha." Lin Qi laughed loudly.

The subsequent matters were just some details.

This wasn't something Lin Qi needed to worry about; he was mainly responsible for controlling the general direction.

Specific matters could be completely left to the people below to discuss.

For example, this time was like this.

Therefore, Sampo left soon.

Speaking of which.

Lin Qi actually has many things that can be used to exchange for a large amount of Credits in interstellar trade.

But there are not many suitable ones at the moment.

Those Curios he can mass-produce are either too powerful, and with Jarilo's current industrial level, they can't be built at all, or they can be built, but the patents have already been sold to the IPC.

As for why they were sold to the IPC...

If he didn't sell them to the IPC in exchange for astronomical Credits, how could Lin Qi build his own stellar megastructures?

And twenty-eight of them?

Those twenty-eight stellar-level megastructures not only emptied Lin Qi's family fortune but even added quite a bit.

And because they are not all mines, some are disguises for weapons, so it is also difficult to convert them into money, and it's good enough to barely maintain them.
