Price?
Coming here to get sothing, and you still want a price?
“Tsk.” Lu Ce, disguised as Xie Antong, frowned impatiently.
“You’re an NPC and still so greedy for money—what a pain...”
“What did you say?” Know-it-All stared at him. “Don’t you think you’re being a bit disrespectful to ?”
“You disrespected first!” Lu Ce shot him a glare and slamd his hand down on the table with a loud bang.
“You want to talk about price with ?”
“Ha?! Price?!”
Know-it-All: ?
“...Do you have bipolar disorder or sothing? If there’s sothing wrong with your brain, you should get it treated early.”
“What? You think getting soone to do sothing for you doesn’t cost anything?”
“That’s not what I ant,” Lu Ce shook his head dramatically. “I an, do I look like soone who’s short on cash?”
“Saying that is straight-up insulting !”
“Let tell you, from childhood until now, I’ve never seen anyone richer than !”
Know-it-All was a little speechless. This guy’s character setting had suddenly shifted into a rich braggart.
But the key point was... what did that have to do with him?
This guy’s ntal issues ca in waves. Know-it-All couldn’t even tell if the other was having an episode, and besides, what he wanted wasn’t necessarily money.
Still, he went along and asked:
“Alright, you’ve got money. So how much are you planning to give ?”
“Why would I give you anything? Are you begging or sothing?”
Know-it-All: ......
He silently turned around and slapped himself on the forehead hard, cursing himself for not learning his lesson.
How could he still think this lunatic would say anything reasonable?!
His chest rose and fell violently. Then, his entire aura turned dark and aggressive, no weaker than the prison guard earlier.
Suddenly, he felt like instead of doing business, using force seed more appropriate.
He turned to “Xie Antong,” but just as he was about to speak, he got cut off again.
“I know you’re anxious, but hold on a sec.”
“As for the price, that’s not a problem, but I don’t trust you. I’m not sure you can actually pull it off.”
Know-it-All’s face darkened further as he said grimly:
“My reputation in this prison—do you really need to question that?”
“But I just asked you for a nuclear bomb, and you didn’t have it.”
“That’s a totally different matter, damn it!”
Know-it-All was stunned.
For so reason, facing this woman, he felt like he was losing his temper.
“So what do you want? Give a solution!”
“I’m warning you, this isn’t a place you can just co and go as you please. If you can’t give a proper explanation...”
“I’ll show you what happens when soone provokes .”
“Xie Antong” looked at him with a playful smirk. Watching him get worked up actually amused her, and she didn’t bother hiding her mockery:
“See, you’re getting all worked up again.”
“Here’s the deal. I don’t trust you. You didn’t fulfill my request earlier, so my condition is: money and goods exchanged simultaneously.”
“Sounds fair, right? When ‘I’ co over later, I’ll give you an earpiece. Keep it. Whatever terms or benefits you want, ask her.”
“Oh wait, I an, ask the version of who shows up later.”
Know-it-All: ......
As he listened to Lu Ce’s words, he actually felt a little relieved. Finally, this lunatic had said sothing that made sense.
Even though the whole thing was bizarre and unclear, he really didn’t want to argue with this psycho woman anymore.
Besides, there was no need to ask a prisoner’s purpose—especially one who was obviously ntally unwell!
Looks pretty on the outside, but too bad she opens her mouth.
Her sitting posture was awful too—why the h*ll was she putting her feet up on the chair?!
“Put your feet down.”
Lu Ce ignored him.
Know-it-All: ......
“Fine, we’ll leave it at that. When are you coming back?”
Lu Ce thought for a mont, his brows furrowing as he hesitated.
“... I’m just going to grab sothing. I should be back soon.”
“Okay, sounds good.”
Know-it-All thought to himself, You don’t even know your own schedule, huh?
But he didn’t say much more—just nodded and gestured toward the door.
He was tired.
But Lu Ce was in a great mood. Seeing the other guy annoyed made him feel amazing.
After stepping through the security door and watching the tal door close behind him, cutting off their view of each other, Lu Ce’s appearance shifted back to the tall prison guard’s form. He pushed the door and walked out.
When he said he’d return, he didn’t an himself. He ant the real Xie Antong.
Knowing her, her obsession with gathering intel made this perfectly predictable.
Inside this prison, if she didn’t know how to escape yet, she’d definitely try to gather info first—and “Know-it-All” would be her top choice.
She would absolutely find a way to et him!
Perfect—this way, he could get the communication earpiece to her and make contact first.
As for whether she’d get scamd... emmm, that’s not his problem.
As he exited the doorway and made his way from that inconspicuous path back to the plaza, Lu Ce—still in his prison guard disguise—grinned.
Because in the distance, a figure wearing a helt had stepped out of another shadowy cell.
“Heh heh...”
Lu Ce turned and lted into the crowd. After thinking for a mont, he headed toward his next destination.
anwhile, the real Xie Antong was cautiously glancing around, observing everything as she made her way toward Know-it-All’s room.
On the ga livestream, the comnt feed was strikingly uniform—full of ssages like 【It’s over】 and 【Dood】.
【: The Real and Fake Monkey King showdown is about to begin!】
Viewers watched as 【Blank】, totally unaware, walked straight toward that door.
Even Xie Antong herself was a bit surprised she’d made it this far so smoothly—she hadn’t run into any issues at all.
This ga was oddly going well this ti...
She took a deep breath and knocked gently on the door.
“Co in!”
A not-so-friendly voice replied. The door swung open, and several All-Seeing Eyes instantly flew in, scanning every corner of the room.
Inside, Know-it-All sat with an unfriendly expression. When he saw Xie Antong enter, his face grew even darker.
“Huh? You got here this fast?”
“Co in and let’s get this over with.”
As he spoke, he pointed toward the chair in front of him.
Xie Antong: ?
Tsk!......
