No doubt about it.
This trick Yun Xiayang used was learned from Wang Fugui.
Previously, Wang Shouzhe had already learned through [Wu Mingyan] how persistent the Yincha Demonic God was in trying to rescue the Demon Lord. Before Wang Fugui went beyond the realm, Wang Shouzhe had already provided him with all the potentially useful information, including these details.
Wang Fugui leveraged this point, having Yun Xiayang, transford into [Dragon Blood Demon God], falsely claim he was a vanguard sent out ticulously by the Demon Lord, and he displayed an unwavering loyalty toward the Demon Lord.
Currently, Yincha Demonic God is in desperate need of allies. Upon encountering a "kindred spirit" with aligned goals, she naturally hopes for the swift recovery of the Dragon Blood Demon God’s powers to assist her in welcoming back the Demon Lord.
Of course, the reason Yincha Demonic God trusts Yun Xiayang’s words so much is that Dragon Blood Demon God was once a renowned vanguard warlord of the Demon Lord, known not only for its bravery and fearlessness but also for its recklessness and lack of wisdom, a typical representative of brute force over intelligence.
According to fragnted historical records of the Demonic Clan, Dragon Blood Demon God was indeed a trusted subordinate of the Demon Lord, at least, it appeared so on the surface.
Upon hearing what Yun Xiayang said, Yincha Demonic God’s face flickered several tis: "But I have already given you all the Demonic God Crystals I had; there’s no more stock with ."
"Really?" Yun Xiayang appeared "shocked," as if hearing sothing unbelievable, "You, the mighty Yincha Demonic God, only have twenty Demonic God Crystals in storage? So poor?"
"Dragon Blood, tis have changed since ancient tis." On Yincha Demonic God’s stunning face, a trace of embarrassnt and anger flickered, "The resources today are far from what they were in ancient tis. I managed to produce twenty Demonic God Crystals in one go only because I’ve been intentionally saving them for the past few years, intending to offer them to the Demon Lord for restoring his power."
"Sorry, sorry, I didn’t understand the situation. I realize how unwaveringly loyal you are to the Demon Lord. Rest assured, I’ll make sure to speak highly of you in front of the Demon Lord when the ti cos." Yun Xiayang admired her openly, "I trust the Demon Lord will be pleased to know of your efforts over the years."
At that mont, Yun Xiayang paused, a look of frustration appeared on his fierce demon face: "It’s all my fault for being too foolish, having used up so many resources and still hadn’t restored my strength."
Then, he looked pleadingly at Yincha Demonic God: "You’re a Demonic God Supre, couldn’t you borrow so from sowhere?"
"Borrow? Who would lend Demonic God Crystals?" Yincha Demonic God bit her lip harshly, "If necessary, I’ll sell so assets and trade with other Demonic Gods to get so Demonic God Crystals. Dragon Blood, tell honestly, how many more do you approximately need?"
"I feel like another twenty should just about do it."
"What? Twenty?! You can drop dead!"
"Fifteen, no less."
"Ten, at most I can trade for ten more. If you still can’t make a breakthrough after this, I’ll kill you myself."
"Alright, alright, ten it is. Yinchan, hurry up, I’m afraid the Demon Lord will wait for too long."
"..."
Yincha Demonic God gave Yun Xiayang a fierce glare and turned to leave.
Watching the back of the departing Yincha Demonic God, Yun Xiayang felt a complicated mix of emotions.
In fact, to restore the Demonic God’s strength, twenty Demonic God Crystals are entirely sufficient. The reason for the current situation is that he used half and stored half from the initial twenty crystals.
Despite their opposing stances, the deception of Yincha Demonic God left him feeling a bit guilty.
Alas, compared to that brat Wang Fugui, Yincha Demonic God is still too naive~
Even he thought that Fugui’s sches were shalessly cunning and deceitful to the extre. It’s not a plan that normal people could conceive.
Yet, the plan worked pretty well.
Fugui had said, as Yincha Demonic God’s investnt deepened, as long as she saw hope, no matter how much she cursed or complained, even if she appeared to hate him enough to kill him, she wouldn’t give up.
It’s the nature of all sentient beings, even Demonic Gods can’t escape it.
What is the term for this phenonon?
[Sunk Cost]?
Yes, [Sunk Cost].
