Chapter 824 192: Change
Tiptoeing to the window, Wen Yu filled his glass, then downed it in one gulp, barely suppressing the gloom in his heart.
The evaluation of Rahal's value resurfaced in his mind once again.
The Star Praying ability is indeed impressive----even the shocking price in Rahal's memory, that's only relevant for now, once the Level Lock is broken, acquiring high-level magic crystals would become much easier.
200 pieces of Level 10 magic crystals, considered astronomical at Level 5, but at Level 10?
200 pieces of Level 10 magic crystals to buy one Esoteric Level skill with Limit Breaking Abilities.
Cheaper than cheap!
Moreover, the greatest value of this skill lies not in the skill itself, but in other aspects of intelligence...
Such as the movements of Demon Legions worldwide.
Such as the tracks of hidden powerful experts worldwide.
Such as intelligence on opposing forces.
Such as the location of a specific skill holder.
So many usable aspects...
According to Wen Yu's estimation, the cost of detecting some already occurred intelligence won't be too high----after all, the way Star Praying provides skill origins is nothing different from trading!
But if you also consider the skill cool down restrictions...
After a brief contemplation, Wen Yu shook his head with a wry smile.
For major forces, Rahal is undoubtedly a treasure, but for him, it's dispensable.
A simple choice----a monthly costly prayer, but needing to be a nanny for life, and also offending the military and Tang Haofei...
It just doesn't seem worth it.
Therefore, how to deal with Rahal becomes clear and evident!
...
Adding a soundproof barrier for Rahal's bed, Wen Yu leisurely took out the communicator.
"Let me go, Dog Bro, I beg you, let me go..."
The pleading, mixed with sobbing, came from downstairs, causing Wen Yu to curl his lips.
Where were you before...
The energetic sound of barking surrounded him, as Wen Yu pressed a few numbers on the communicator.
"Beep...beep..."
The busy signal had just rung twice when Lin Na's pleasant voice came through the communicator immediately.
"Sir."
Lin Na's voice was still respectful, but her surrounding environment could hardly be considered good----Wen Yu could even hear the rude, wild barking of Cyclops from the other end of the communicator.
"What? Are you also here to surveil me?"
The tone was not angry, just a simple jest, as Wen Yu distrusted the military, likewise, the military would not trust Wen Yu, after seeing Rahal wandering freely with Wen Yu, it was indeed expected for Cathay's military to monitor Wen Yu.
Lin Na on the other side of the microphone was momentarily speechless, evidently unable to answer such an awkward question.
Wen Yu didn't dwell on such a trivial matter.
"Tomorrow, I'll send Rahal back domestically, let the military personnel wait for me at the Cathay-Indian border."
Lin Na's breath immediately became slightly rapid on the other end of the line, barely suppressing the ecstatic feeling of mission completion, and respectfully replied, "Understood, sir."
Then disconnected the communication.
Seeing Lin Na hang up the call first, Wen Yu smiled and shook his head, pouring himself another glass of red wine.
The seemingly simple issue for Wen Yu, but indeed it troubled the Cathay's operatives, hearing the news of mission completion at this moment, Lin Na's response indeed appeared eager.
Promotion?
Raise?
A beautiful resume?
An untroubled career path?
Probably all of these.
In general, it's a small goal, a little progress for a small person.
The sounds of battle below became a bit more intense, and from Wen Yu's perspective, he could clearly see a large squad of government troops in Indian military uniforms, lining up in neat steps, setting up guns and artillery a few hundred meters away from the hotel, busy and bustling.
However, what use is that...
Even if it's confirmed that India has a Breakthrough Achiever here, what good would it do?
Those insignificant fellows cautiously observing my every move from downstairs, while I stand upstairs, overlooking sceneries they will never see.
The growing disparity in power, increasingly terrifying destructive power, one person's deterrence over a nation, or even the super-strong influence to destroy a nation, all subtly changing one's personality and character.
Suddenly, Lin Haifeng's words echoed in his mind: "Tang Haofei, after returning this time, seems to have a bit of a problem with his personality..."
In a daze, Wen Yu seemed to see that tall human-shaped monster sitting in a sea of corpses and blood, vaguely grasping the so-called "cost of power" outline.
Multiply, multiply, and multiply again, the frenzied physical quality after multiplying five times in a row, even now when Wen Yu recalls, he still feels fear at Tang Haofei's strength!
In fact, the exponential increase in actual combat power will always lead to some changes, just like a sudden myriad-fold increase in assets overnight, even the best-tempered person will inevitably have some changes in mentality.
And power, is more valuable than assets!
So...
"It's not that we changed, it's that you changed too slowly."
The deep murmur resonated through the entire room, as if in response to Wen Yu's whispers, outside Cyclops let out a war cry akin to a mating call.
Perhaps due to the stimulation of alcohol, or perhaps today's "negative effect" of peaceful living all day, Wen Yu under the night appeared somewhat melancholy.
Downstairs, the large gray dog seemed to be toying, easily tearing apart the Indian Government Army's isolation line, and its fierce actions even shook the whole hotel twice. Seeing the Indian Government Army retreating helter-skelter, rolling and crawling, withdrawing their defense line nearly 1 kilometer away, with negotiators specifically waving white flags, loudly shouting "We just want to talk with Sequence Number 2" and so on, Wen Yu slowly closed the curtains.
A farce.
...
The morning sunlight lazily spilled over, with a temperature around 16°C, making Wen Yu feel like he wanted to lie in bed.
A strong biological clock took effect at this moment.
Getting dressed, getting up, washing up, after a series of daily routines, Wen Yu opened the curtains again.
Everything outside remained exactly as when Wen Yu closed the curtains, needless to say, a whole full day was enough for all powers coveting Rahal to realize what they were truly up against.
No more battles occurred----for these powers, it was indeed a wise choice.
Seeing Cyclops sitting triumphantly in front of the isolation line of the Indian Government Army outside, enjoying the Demon's Flesh and Blood specifically sent by the Indian Government, there were even negotiation experts propping up ladders, enthusiastically speaking by Cyclops' ear with clichés like "We are all members of the Earth Community, we and Sequence Number 2 are all humans, and we should unite", Wen Yu couldn't help feeling deeply impatient.
Dealing with these guys is the most boring.
