The Doomsday Lord: Starting as a Insect Queen-Chapter 414 - 220: It Was Clearly Me First... (6k)

"How’s it going? Have you thought it over?"

"I’m not bluffing, [Chaos] has already signed a contract to establish cooperation."

"If you want to come to terms, the offer naturally has to be higher."

Meanwhile, in the other side’s bizarre instance, Bai Yi sat in a recliner in a room, legs crossed, with a playful look at another female contractor opposite her.

"No, no, no, how can you do this!"

"We were clearly the ones who approached first!"

"We were also the ones who surrendered first, the ones who proposed conditions first, how did it come to this..."

"Wuwuwu..."

At this moment, the contractor looked like she had been bullied, crying pitifully, at first glance appearing as if she had been teased by Bai Yi, the delinquent.

But judging by their height differences, their identities seemed humorously incongruous.

This female contractor had arrived shortly after the morning’s raid ended, before the war with the Demon Dynasty started on the other side’s instance.

She claimed to be Ellie and was here to surrender on behalf of [Fertility] Paradise.

Moreover, the resources she presented were indeed very abundant, consisting of various unique ores and alchemical materials.

Although Bai Yi didn’t recognize them, this didn’t affect her ability to see their usefulness through the panel.

Unfortunately, despite their quality, Bai Yi had little need for non-replicable pure resources, so after some haggling, they postponed until now.

It was precisely because of this fallback that Bai Yi on the other side was not in a rush to meet the two visitors.

Seeing Ellie’s expression at this moment, Bai Yi was instantly tempted to tease further.

"Oh dear, it’s your fault for taking so long to think about it. You happened to decide right after the other side agreed to finalize the contract."

"You can’t blame me for this misfortune; blame [Chaos] for agreeing so promptly."

Bai Yi wasn’t anxious about this at all, as this weird world wasn’t as fun.

The Beastmen only charge in stupidly into battle, bringing back what she desires.

At best, they’re straightforward; at worst, they’re too dull, and even the most direct fights become aesthetically tiring after a while.

The enemy’s abnormality was also a bunch of brains, with no tactics to speak of.

Though individually more powerful and strange than those mutant beasts on the other side, against the Beastmen, they were nothing, completely incomparable to the Insect Swarm battles on the other side.

Even those Beastman leaders, respected as Beast Lords by Beastmen, only possessed average intelligence levels.

Being out in command all the time, they weren’t really at home.

In the camp, apart from facing those mostly ugly and terrifying abnormal creatures, this contractor who actively came to surrender claiming to represent [Fertility] Paradise was the only source of entertainment.

You can’t help but continue teasing her playfully, letting the chaotic paradise on the other side offer enough conditions to finalize the cooperation.

Having one Paradise, the conditions offered by [Fertility] Paradise have to be significantly discounted.

For example, previously promised contractors, access to internal resource trades in Paradise, etc.

These unique conditions value must be reassessed.

Even if it was a profit either way, wouldn’t it be better to earn a bit more?

Especially as [Fertility] Paradise is officially endorsed by the game for being easy to bully.

Early on, when the contractor came to find her, the panel’s task was already updated.

"[Attention: Mainline task has changed, Paradise War has been settled early, no rewards received due to task completion (not started)]"

"[Current main task has changed to ’Negotiation’: Try to get more conditions in the negotiation, with at least the conditions (Appendix I), task reward: One complete World Core of this world]"

"[Note: Based on judgment records, [Fertility] Paradise is relatively weak and possesses extremely abundant resources, the lord can start from the resources themselves to gain more]"

With the game’s endorsement, Bai Yi naturally sets as many demands as possible.

This is why Bai Yi was so quick to relent when negotiating with Chaotic Paradise on the other side.

Based on Bai Yi’s current understanding, the strongest aspect of Chaos lay in its contractors, and now they’ve been mostly wiped out, there’s not much left they can offer.

But this [Fertility] Paradise is truly wealthy and is the real place to extort more resources.

"But, but I can’t decide either..."

Seeing the somewhat aggrieved expression of the person opposite her, Bai Yi wondered if she was bullying too much.

She didn’t force her to finalize immediately, as this contractor was merely a messenger, a communication medium for its Paradise behind.

Like many customer services, without higher-up instructions, they can’t make real decisions.

Moreover, according to information supplied by Blood Night in the instance, these Paradises have certain autonomous consciousness, but under large rule restrictions, they operate like a machine.

Oftentimes, slow reactions might not be unwillingness but waiting for "rule compliance queries" under load.

"No worries, after all, this time no one snatched away the opportunity, right?"

"This time, you guys can take your time to think."

"That’s what you said last time..."

"Ah no, my point is, I’ll think it over and present the perfect terms!"
