Chapter 107 Unusual Activities at Behemoth Corporation!
"Boss, there's something fishy going on at Behemoth Corporation."
After resolving the market issue, the only remaining challenge was the decisive battle against Behemoth Corporation. While Lin Yu was waiting for Behemoth Corporation to launch their attack, Er Zhuang suddenly contacted him.
"Strange activity? What strange activity?"
Lin Yu asked, puzzled.
Lin Yu naturally wouldn't underestimate Behemoth Company, so he had Erzhuang keep an eye on their movements.
"They seem to be secretly mobilizing more resources."
"It seems? You didn't find any specific details either?"
"They seem to be wary of me, and they are very cautious in their communication with the outside world. I can only guess that they are mobilizing more forces based on their fragmented words."
Lin Yu fell into deep thought upon hearing this.
If Behemoth Corporation were to secretly mobilize more resources, that would be highly unusual. The amount of resources mobilized is not a decision made on a whim, but rather a decision made long ago after careful planning.
The sudden need to increase power at this time must mean that something has been discovered.
Was it because they realized their own strength was insufficient that they sent more men?
Lin Yu felt it was unlikely. Behemoth Corporation couldn't possibly know the exact combat strength of his group, so to them it was probably just a few more superhumans. They might pay some attention to them, but it wouldn't be anything to make a fuss about.
When making a plan, a margin of error is definitely included, and the plan will not be changed because of any unknown situation.
Even if they knew the exact combat strength of their group and were worried that their forces were insufficient and that they needed reinforcements, there was no need for them to be so cautious. Were they worried that someone would find out and run away?
Their most important symbol is the sacred tree, so even if King Nathan runs away, it won't have much of an impact, right?
Unless there is a more important target on the island than the Divine Tree, Behemoth Corporation is not only worried that the target will escape, but also that someone will rescue it. That is why they secretly mobilized more forces to take the target away without any chance of success before everyone could react!
Has anyone in the company betrayed us?
If Behemoth Corporation truly has other objectives, then the only thing Lin Yu can think of is that someone in the company has betrayed them, leaking his information to Behemoth Corporation and to them.
Although the company knows very little about Lin Yu and is unlikely to betray him, it wouldn't be difficult for any senior executive to figure out Lin Yu's situation if they investigated carefully. For example, the heads of various regions couldn't possibly be unaware that Lin Yu could easily mobilize temporary workers, so even if they didn't investigate, they could probably guess some of Lin Yu's situation. It wouldn't be difficult for other senior executives who knew of Lin Yu's existence to guess his situation as well.
[This is a bit of a problem!]
If Behemoth Corporation really knew about Lin Yu's situation, they certainly wouldn't remain indifferent; at the very least, they would have to "invite" Lin Yu over.
So, should we abandon the mission and leave Nathan Island directly?
After a moment's thought, Lin Yu abandoned the idea.
Firstly, Lin Yu did not want to give up the mission; secondly, if Behemoth Corporation really knew about Lin Yu's situation, they would probably have already laid a trap around Nathan Island, and it would be too late to leave now.
Looks like I need to make some preparations!
Regardless of whether Behemoth Corporation has actually changed its target to Lin Yu and laid a trap around Nathan Island, Lin Yu will assume it is true and therefore needs to make some preparations to avoid the worst-case scenario.
[Almighty Mage: Jackie Chan, how did your discussion with your father go about what we talked about last time?]
Lin Yu entered the chat group and tagged Jackie Chan.
If Behemoth Corporation really did secretly increase its forces, it certainly wouldn't be just a little bit. With Nathan Island's current strength, it's definitely no match for them, and the same goes for Lin Yu. Therefore, they need to seek external help, and in the chat group, the only ones who can help Lin Yu are Jackie Chan and Frillie.
Jackie Chan's world is full of powerful gadgets, and Frilian herself possesses formidable combat power. However, Lin Yu is unsure of the exact extent of Frilian's combat power or whether she can withstand modern firepower. Therefore, to be on the safe side, he should borrow a talisman from Jackie Chan. In any case, the power of the talisman should be sufficient to deal with the current crisis.
[I am Uncle Long: Dad has agreed. How many points are you prepared to buy the talismans?]
[They actually agreed!]
Lin Yu was quite surprised.
Lin Yu was quite happy to receive a positive answer, which was just a tentative inquiry.
Shortly after Jackie Chan joined the chat group following the last upgrade, Lin Yu suggested using points to buy the twelve zodiac talismans from Jackie Chan. However, Jackie Chan said he needed to discuss it with his father, and this discussion lasted for a month. During this time, Lin Yu asked many times but never received a definite answer, and had long given up hope. Today, he just wanted to borrow them, but unexpectedly, a pleasant surprise came.
[Almighty Archmage: Really? You were hesitating before, why did you suddenly agree today?]
[I am Uncle Long: Dad is right. Keeping the talismans here will only attract unwanted attention and cause a lot of trouble. It would be safer to sell them to another world.]
These were the words Lin Yu had used to persuade Jackie Chan to sell the talismans. Although they thought the words made sense at the time, they still didn't agree directly. Now they suddenly agreed, which means that the talismans had been stolen again recently, and Jackie Chan and his team had gone through a lot of trouble to find them. They didn't want to repeat the same thing, so they agreed to sell them to Lin Yu.
[Almighty Archmage: Of course, once the talisman is in my hands, even if the Holy Lord has immense power, he can't retrieve it.]
[Omnipotent Mage: As for the price of the talisman, how about 100,000 points per talisman?]
Lin Yu had already thought about the pricing of the talismans. They couldn't be too high, otherwise people wouldn't be able to afford them; they couldn't be too low, otherwise it would be a rip-off. After all, talismans were at least A-grade items. Lin Yu always insisted on cooperation and win-win situations with his group members, and he would never do anything like ripping people off.
One hundred thousand points is a reasonable price that both parties should be able to accept.
[I'm Uncle Long: No problem.]
Jackie Chan readily agreed, clearly the price had exceeded his expectations.
[Omnipotent Mage: However, I don't have that many points right now; it might take some time before I can collect them all.]
[I'm Uncle Long: Okay.]
Having joined the chat group for a month, Jackie Chan naturally knew the basic information of the group members and knew that only Lin Yu could gather 100,000 points. However, 100,000 points was still too much, and even Lin Yu would need time to gather it.
[Almighty Mage: I'm in a bit of trouble, Jackie Chan, could you lend me a few talismans?]
I can't afford to buy talismans right now, so I'll have to borrow some for now.
[I'm Uncle Long: No problem, which talismans do you want?]
Jackie Chan would naturally not refuse such a small request from a major future client.
[Almighty Sorcerer: I need Rabbit Charms and Chicken Charms.]
