Chapter 222 -215 This is our Sky Eye! [3/3!]
Trade is about willingness on both sides—one to strike and the other to endure.
If Anderson were to turn his head, indicating that their Supernatural Warfare Department had no interest in these potions whatsoever, then, Emberfire would be powerless against them.
But the allure of these potions was simply too great!
No one could resist the temptation of such miraculous potions, especially when they were available for bulk purchase.
If they didn’t buy, the people from Sunset Country might do so.
The people from Dong Huang Country might have already bought them.
Not buying meant falling behind the times.
Furthermore,
Energy Recovery Potion, Purification Potion, Calming Potion… setting aside the competition between nations, he couldn’t resist the magical potions himself.
Faced with a single Physical Fitness Elixir, he could negotiate and haggle, but with so many potions presented all at once, it was like him throwing out a pair of kings while the other party laid down four twos and the jokers—how could this be negotiated? By comparison, the chips held by their Supernatural Warfare Department were far too few.
Mere Mysterious Crystals, mystical materials, oddities—they’d only cause a small splash when thrown into the fray.
After discussing with Katrina and others, Anderson had no choice but to grit his teeth and put more chips on the table.
Modern weapons, land, information, and some promises, and so on.
After the negotiations, Anderson was sweating profusely, but he still managed to smile.
This outcome wasn’t bad!
Not being slaughtered was a great victory!
However, it seemed it was not just because of his superior negotiating skills, but because Mr. Pei had intended to make concessions?
Compared to the dry-mouthed and tense Anderson, Pei Hongjing, who held the initiative throughout, was much more relaxed.
He took a sip of tea, leaned back in his chair, and swept his gaze over the Supernatural Warfare Department members, his casual demeanor like that of a magnate who controlled the fates of countless people.
In fact, he did.
Pei Hongjing’s rank within the organization might not be at the very top, but in the outside world, his strength alone placed him at the peak. Not to mention that he usually led business negotiations. Under the tremendous advantage Emberfire held, if he wished, he could decimate the representatives of the Supernatural Warfare Department and Wavemist Nation, leaving them disarmed and stripped of their gear.
A single word from him could determine the rise and fall of a country.
Of course, that was because he had the backing of the ancient and magnificent Emberfire.
And indeed, he had intentionally gone easy on them; otherwise, he could have seized much more from Wavemist Nation.
The initial request from his mentor was merely to agree to several conditions while selling potions and equipment to Wavemist Nation.
Among them was to assist in building an Emberfire branch and to agree to them recruiting potential talents within Wavemist Nation.
These two conditions were part of the just-concluded negotiations.
They were just two of many conditions.
The benefits Pei Hongjing had fought for far exceeded the basic requirements of the mission, but he considered that there was no need to completely shear Wavemist Nation; sustainability in harvesting crops was important.
On the other hand, they had a common enemy.
Wavemist Nation was also one of Emberfire’s allies… although Pei Hongjing didn’t place much importance on them, he still held back.
He didn’t take everything, even their undergarments.
Besides the two aforementioned conditions, his mentor had another important instruction: to have the Supernatural Warfare Department rely on the ‘Detective Map’ to exterminate the Mysterious Evil within Wavemist Nation.
Pei Hongjing didn’t bring it up.
His mentor had the well-being of all humanity in mind, but Pei Hongjing knew human nature better.
If he brought it up proactively, not only might the Supernatural Warfare Department not take it seriously, but as with the previous Red Moon Heretical Cult calamity, it would put Emberfire at a disadvantage during negotiations.
Pei Hongjing didn’t mention it at all.
However, he had already had people investigate the current situation in Wavemist Nation, which could be described as fraught both internally and externally.
Inside, there was civil unrest, officials blamed each other.
Outside, Mysterious Evil proliferated, and heretical cultists still lurked in the shadows.
Now that the potion trade was concluded, Anderson and the core members of the busy Supernatural Warfare Department showed no signs of leaving, and they chatted casually.
Pei Hongjing also joined in the conversation.
He was even more immovable.
As expected, it was the people from the Supernatural Warfare Department who couldn’t hold on any longer. Looking at the carefree Mr. Pei and the other Emberfire personnel, they felt that these Emberfire people could spend all day here drinking tea and lazing about without a problem.
But they couldn’t.
If they delayed any longer, they reckoned the council above would start hurrying them.
A representative of a faction within the Supernatural Warfare Department couldn’t help but speak up, inquiring about Dong Huang Country’s Sky Net warning system.
“Ah, the Sky Net warning against Mysterious Evil in Dong Huang…”
Upon hearing this, Pei Hongjing leaned slightly back.
He had been waiting for someone from the Supernatural Warfare Department to mention it. Since they finally did, he stopped pretending, “Yes, it’s provided by Emberfire.”
“!!!”
“???”
Anderson internally cursed as he heard his colleague ask the question without authorization.
Revealing one’s ultimate goal during negotiations is akin to inviting disaster.
He had imagined that the more they asked, the more Pei Hongjing would speak vaguely, without any real answer. Now that their goal had been exposed, they had no bargaining chips left.
But,
Huh? He just admitted it?!?
For a moment, Anderson, Katrina, and the Supernatural Warfare Department’s senior official who had asked the question, were all stunned.
Could it really be that easy?
Since Pei Hongjing had laid his cards on the table, Anderson didn’t beat around the bush either.
They in the Supernatural Warfare Department didn’t have many chips left, so he straightforwardly asked, “If Wavemist Nation wants to acquire a system like this, what would be the cost?”
Pei Hongjing counter-asked, “Mr. Anderson may first want to consider what else Wavemist Nation can pay.”
“Of course, no need to rush that. Let me first introduce our system to you—the Sky Eye System.”
“This system can penetrate illusions and accurately capture the positions of Mysterious Evil.”
“To avoid empty words, like with the previous potions, we offer a trial service.”
Pei Hongjing produced a tablet.
After a few manipulations, a map of Snowmantle City appeared on the tablet’s screen.
He continued, “This Sky Eye System requires a significant investment to deploy, capable of monitoring a city. By tracing the unique corrupt breath of Mysterious Evil, it can pinpoint their real-time locations, accurate to within a few meters.”
Anderson looked over.
The map of Snow Drift City shrank before his eyes, resembling a common satellite map, except that it had several conspicuous red dots added to it.
They were scattered across the suburbs of Snow Drift City.
This number…
“There aren’t many Mysterious Evils in the city.”
“It seems like Snow Drift City is doing well, there aren’t as many disasters as the public says, and the environment is quite safe.”
One of the elite task force members of the Super Battle Department muttered.
Anderson nodded slightly, but as he kept looking, suddenly felt something was off.
How could a small city like Snow Drift City be so thoroughly cleaned of Mysterious Evils by the local branch of the Super Battle Department?
“Was it you guys?”
He turned to Pei Hongjing and the others.
Pei Hongjing smiled without saying a word.
Next to him, Sun Hao, who had spent some time in Wavemist Nation, said, “We had some free time, so we occasionally went out on patrol and cleaned up some Mysterious Evils for your Wavemist Nation.”
This!
The proud elite of the Super Battle Department who had just spoken was now red-faced with embarrassment.
It seemed like Pei Hongjing also realized something. “Now that Mysterious Evils are rare in Snow Drift City, it’s not very suitable for experiencing our Sky Eye System, but that’s okay, because we have also installed the Sky Eye System in another city.”
He lightly tapped and switched the map on the tablet.
Anderson saw that apart from Snow Drift City, there was indeed another city—Wind Helmet City.
Just next to Snow Drift City.
As Pei Hongjing opened Wind Helmet City’s ‘Sky Eye Detection Map,’ a map with which the elite task force of the Super Battle Department was all too familiar slowly appeared before their eyes.
But at the same time, there were countless blood-red dots marked on the map!
These all represented Mysterious Evils active within Wind Helmet City.
“My God, how can there be so many?”
“Is this for real? This can’t be! It’s impossible for there to be so many Mysterious Evils!”
An elite of the Super Battle Department murmured.
He couldn’t believe it and even presented evidence to the contrary, “If there were really so many Mysterious Evils, Wind Helmet City would be in complete chaos by now, but there’s still order.”
Pei Hongjing smiled faintly and shook his head, “Mysterious Evils are adept at hiding; not discovering them does not mean they don’t exist. Often, Mysterious Evils consume humans, become active, then you find them.”
“But talk is cheap. It’s better to experience it yourself, isn’t it?”
Anderson nodded with difficulty.
Wind Helmet City was only a hundred kilometers away from Snow Drift City, and soon, they drove to this ancient city. Compared with Snow Drift City, the atmosphere of Wind Helmet City was even more oppressive, as if a cold wind was blowing through the streets.
The team from the Super Battle Department didn’t hesitate and went straight to the nearest location of a Mysterious Evil on the tablet map.
This was a powerful two-star Mysterious Evil, located in a deserted park.
Anderson didn’t make a move.
Several elite members of the Super Battle Department went into action and killed the Mysterious Evil in a matter of moments.
“This is a large Mysterious Evil. The Wind Helmet City branch actually has a record of it but has not removed it yet as the impact was not significant.”
One of the executives in charge of this area in Wind Helmet City spoke out.
Yes, that’s right. Discovering this Mysterious Evil wasn’t anything special; it was very conspicuously located, and they, the Super Battle Department, had also discovered it!
What they truly cared about was whether there really were so many Mysterious Evils in the entire Wind Helmet City?
There shouldn’t be.
The local branches of the Super Battle Department were clearing out a lot of Mysterious Evils every day.
This time, Anderson didn’t pick the nearest one, but marked a Mysterious Evil located in the downtown area.
A Mysterious Evil in the bustling commercial district of Wind Helmet City!
In places with dense crowds, the chances of Mysterious Evils emerging are very low, and even if they really exist, they would be discovered and eradicated very quickly.
That’s impossible!
Yet, the Sky Eye map marked three Mysterious Evils in the commercial district.
Fake, this is impossible!
They drove to the location, quickly arriving at the first target—a women’s restroom on the second floor of a supermarket.
A group of men in black burst in noisily, gathering in front of stall number six, eyes fixed.
Bang—
The restroom door was kicked open.
An elite member of the Super Battle Department scattered a special powder, “Sure enough, there’s nothing—what?”
There was nothing on the floor or walls, but a plume of green smoke drifted out of the toilet bowl.
The Super Battle Department elite stood stunned as a group of them focused their ability and smashed the toilet to pieces.
They rushed to the second target location without delay.
Upon flipping open the trash can lid, they found a Mysterious Evil x1!
Arriving at the third location, an air vent, they found a Mysterious Evil x1!

At the fourth,

sixth locations!
Throughout the day, the team from the Super Battle Department rushed back and forth, clearing over twenty Mysterious Evils without a single miss!
Anderson even saw the information of the target Mysterious Evils on the tablet computer’s map.
One star, two stars, three stars!
Representing ordinary, large, and extra-large! And there were never any mistakes!
They could even detect the strength of the Mysterious Evils!
Anderson’s expression was complex.
Pei Hongjing smiled and spoke, “What do you think of our Sky Eye technology?”
