Dragon's Origin

Chapter 311: Selling Information (Part 1)

The long-dormant Worry-Free City once again welcomed a wave of turmoil. The news that Wang Sheng sent back a month ago about wanting to enter the core area attracted attention from all sides.

The news of Wang Sheng, Tang Lao Wu, and the red-badge assassin's successful return to Worry-Free City immediately excited everyone.

The experiences in the core of the Perpetual Killing Zone, especially obtained by sixteen people, with thirteen eighth and ninth-stage experts dying, how valuable would that be?

The returned news indicated that only Wang Sheng, a Tang family expert, and a bodyguard arranged by Yu Baozhai returned safely. There was no need to ask about the others; they must have died inside.

People from various principalities immediately released carrier pigeons, regardless of the cost, to consult their respective rulers on how to handle the situation. After all, each family had sent people in, but giving free information to the surviving Tang family and Yu Baozhai members would inevitably make the other families feel unfair.

As a result, before these people could find a compelling reason for the unfairness, the Worry-Free City Lord's Mansion directly announced its support for Wang Sheng's decision. The reason was simple: if the families' people had returned and Wang Sheng had not, would the families be so forthcoming about the situation inside, considering that other families' members had died?

This reason was powerful and somewhat rogue-like, but it could appease the various parties. Although they were unwilling to accept it, if the situation were reversed, they would never be willing to reveal the inside information to other families. Moreover, Wang Sheng was already being quite generous, willing to give them a chance to understand the situation.

Additionally, Wang Sheng had an even more compelling reason. Those people were not hired by Wang Sheng, nor did they hire Wang Sheng; they主动(zhudong: took the initiative to) followed Wang Sheng. Wang Sheng had already shown righteousness by not abandoning them halfway. Wanting to obtain information for free after inviting themselves along was unheard of, even in the Yuan Soul World.

The Tang family and Yu Baozhai resolutely supported Wang Sheng's decision. Anyway, their families could obtain the information for free, so naturally, they didn't care about the lives of others.

For other families, what was a little gold compared to the secrets inside the Perpetual Killing Zone? It was precisely because they had contributed manpower and lives that Wang Sheng gave them this opportunity.

It should be known that only the forces that participated could exchange gold coins for information. Those who did not send people in didn't even have the chance. In other words, this information sale was limited to fifteen forces, or rather, sixteen. Yu Baozhai and Worry-Free City were considered one.

Wang Sheng, Tang Lao Wu, and the red-badge assassin were still on the road, but preparations had already begun in Worry-Free City. How much each party would pay, where it would take place, and so on.

On the way back to Worry-Free City, Wang Sheng no longer maintained vigilance. The Yu Baozhai people had traveled this road many times, so it was considered a safe route.

Tang Lao Wu and the red-badge assassin were well taken care of. Their eyes had been carefully examined by the camp's doctors, but the doctors didn't know what had happened. Wang Sheng, with his experience, simply told them not to move around and to continue resting for a few days. Snow blindness could heal itself in a few days with sufficient rest.

The two firmly remembered Wang Sheng's instructions and didn't say a word, no matter who asked. Even to their own family members, they remained silent. By not speaking, there was no possibility of leaking secrets, so the information could be sold for a high price.

In any case, the forces behind them would definitely inquire about the details later. It was only a matter of a day or two, which wouldn't affect the overall situation. On the contrary, cooperating with Wang Sheng could also earn Wang Sheng's favor.

Others might not know, but they were very clear that with Wang Sheng around, at least 80% of the demonic beast attacks in the core of the Perpetual Killing Zone could be avoided. In that core area where even a random mouse could injure an eighth-stage expert, what was the concept of reducing demonic beast attacks by 80%?

If this favor was used well, the benefits would be enormous, and the price was simply cooperating with Wang Sheng by not speaking. Only a fool would not cooperate.

Thirteen forces, Wang Sheng didn't favor any one. Each family had to hand over two million gold coins and a sixth-stage cultivation method first. No one had any objection. If this were an auction, it would definitely sell for more. Later, it was changed to a uniform price, which saved everyone a lot of money. If they still complained about the price, they could just drop out!

Before Wang Sheng even arrived at Worry-Free City, the steward of the Worry-Free City Lord's Mansion had to worry about how to find a new house for Wang Sheng. The problem was that the gold coins were about to overflow. The share from the Yu Baozhai camp, plus this time's twenty million gold coins, could fill several houses. The two little maids and the cook were almost out of space to live.

After rushing back to Worry-Free City, Tang Lao Wu and the red-badge assassin's eyes had almost recovered. As soon as they returned to the city, the three of them were taken to the small auction house that Wang Sheng was familiar with. After a short rest, the three began to face the dozens of people who had been waiting anxiously in the small auction house.

Sixteen forces, each force was allowed to send three people, for a total of forty-eight. The auction house was heavily guarded, and all idlers were cleared out. The formation was activated, and Wang Sheng, Tang Lao Wu, and their words could only be heard by the people inside, and there would be no leakage. At least two hundred experts surrounded the auction house, not even a fly could get in.

Wang Sheng began to narrate the entire process. Starting from the discovery of the first explosion of expert aura, of course, at that time, Wang Sheng was definitely cultivating in the Perpetual Killing Zone. After discovering the aura, he immediately rushed to the camp to prepare supplies to go in and explore. Then the second explosion of expert aura occurred, and the experts from all sides insisted on following him in.

Tang Lao Wu could prove this point. Wang Sheng did not invite them. Moreover, not only Tang Lao Wu, but many people in the camp could also prove that Tang Lao Wu and the others insisted on following him in, and Wang Sheng had always been persuading them that the risk factor was very high. When they were about to leave the camp, he even hinted that they could give up. Many people had seen this with their own eyes, and they couldn't lie.

The crowd didn't care about this; they cared about the situation inside the core of the Perpetual Killing Zone. Compared to these things they were eager to know, these details of the ins and outs could simply be ignored, and even the deaths of their own disciples could be put aside.

However, from the point where Wang Sheng and the others chose a point along the edge of the core area to enter, everyone perked up. These were all top-secret experiences exchanged for the lives of their own disciples, and they must not be easily given up.

With only a line separating it from the core area, the spiritual energy was twice as rich as outside. The environment inside was similar to the outside at first, but after going ten miles deep, it turned into a snowy basin. Everyone imagined the scene, and they were all stunned.
