"First"

"Lord Zhuling must know the significance of coal to us humans. We will not sit back and watch the dwarves continue to be so arrogant this winter. Frankly speaking, no matter whether we can reach cooperation with the tree people in the future, we will fight against the Blackstone Camp occupied by the dwarves.

Conduct a pre-attack drill to boost the prestige of the territory."

"Of course, we cannot reveal whether it will be a frontal attack or another attack, but our goal is certain, which is to empty out their coal reserves."

"In view of this, I hope that the tree people can send 30 to 50 tree people to assist."

After thinking for a while, Zhu Ling nodded directly: "I can agree to your request, but you can't use our tree brothers as human shields and cannon fodder. If the battle damage and casualties are too high, or the risk of the plan is too high, I will stop it immediately.

cooperate"

"There is no problem with this. I believe our lords will not see any casualties, whether it is us or our allies!"

Putting the most important points first for negotiation is a small technique in negotiations.

Seeing Zhu Ling agree directly without any doubt, Sumo felt happy, and then began to dig holes around the next big plan.

The earth flower, the giant flower, is one of the few exquisite plants that the tree people can trade with the outside world.

Especially when talking about the Great Emperor Flower, Zhu Ling's deliberate emphasis fully demonstrated that he knew the necessity of this thing to human beings.

Ask directly, regardless of whether it can succeed or how much it will cost.

If the tree people do something inside, it will not be easy to wait for the next opportunity to go deep into the enemy camp.

Therefore, after a pause, Sumo directly began to change the focus of his conversation.

"Second, Lord Zhu Ling must have asked Elder Zhu Chuan in detail last time. You should know that there are not only fairy fruits in our heaven, but also other plants that are helpful to the tree people."

"We can have these not only because of the power of our Lord Soma, but also because we have some watering and cultivation methods similar to those of the tree people."

"So, we are willing to reach a strategic agreement with the tree people"

Having said this, Sumo paused again and cast his gaze over.

Sure enough, on Zhu Ling's face, one could clearly see a look of extreme interest but forced suppression.

"What strategic agreement?"

"You will give us a share of the seeds and finished products of all plants. If you can cultivate suitable variants, we will share the future profits equally."

"This is impossible!"

Directly interrupting what Su Mo had not finished, Zhu Ling suppressed the rising anger.

"There is no need to talk about it. Plants are the foundation for our tree race to live and work. No matter how advanced our alliance is, we will never be able to hand over the finished products and seeds to you."

"Even if Lord Soma is here today, there is no need to talk about this matter!"

After saying that there was nothing to talk about twice in a row, Zhu Ling's meaning was very clear. It was because there was really no way to talk about this matter, not because the relationship between the two was not enough.

However, sitting opposite, after hearing this, Soma still said calmly:

"Lord Zhuling, don't be anxious, everything must have a good beginning, right?"

"In this way, we can start with a few small plants, how about we start with four types: Hangzhou grass, Daling flower, Jiguo, and Wanweisi?"

"When we have achieved results with these four plants, then we will talk about the cultivation of other plants?"

Hangcao, a very fast-growing herbaceous plant, was the first plant used by the tree people when they enclosure.

Not only can it be used as feed for herbivorous animals, but it can also be used in dishes. The taste is similar to bitter chrysanthemum. It is not delicious but has a unique flavor.

Dalinghua, a variant of the genus Gossypium in the family Malvaceae, is a close relative of cotton.

Unlike conventional cotton, once the temperature reaches below ten degrees, rotten seeds and buds will occur.

Dalinghua can withstand low temperatures of minus 60 degrees Celsius, high temperatures of over 40 degrees Celsius, and some more extreme growth environments.

Because of its tenacious nature, it can be seen all over the mountains and plains once it reaches maturity, hence the name Dalinghua.

Jiguo, the only plant with a "soul" among the four proposed.

But even though it has a soul, its function is very simple.

Jiguo can simulate biological signs and actively eat objects. If the object is poisonous, Jiguo will automatically separate the poisoned parts to provide an early warning.

By proposing these four options, Sumo was very confident that Zhu Ling would agree.

After all, plants are divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D according to the level evaluation of the tree people.

The grades of these four plants are all at the lowest level D, which not only has little effect, but also has the lowest trading value.

As long as Zhu Ling has a little bit of brains and knows how to bring these plants out for cooperation, it will be of great benefit to the tree people without any harm!

Sure enough, after his words fell, Zhu Ling subconsciously wanted to repeat his previous words to refuse, but after reacting, he was suddenly startled and couldn't believe it:

"Are you sure you only want these four?"

"Yes, cooperation is a long process of establishing mutual trust. Starting from these four kinds, we will let the tree people see the sincerity and strength of Heavenly Court."

Zhu Ling: "Can you help Lord Somo decide?"

"Yes, I have the authority to decide, as long as Lord Zhuling is willing!"

As he asked and answered, Zhu Ling's face already showed hesitation that was difficult to conceal, but in the end, he looked at Sumo's determined face and expression.

He suddenly picked up the wine bottle on the table and drank it down, then stood up and said continuously: "Okay, since you can decide, then we are willing to give the seeds and finished products of these four plants to you in heaven for free research.

, if you can make breakthroughs in these four aspects, we will not take any of the profits and give them all to you."

"Even if these breakthroughs can meet our expectations, more collaborative plant research is not impossible!"

A thousand-mile embankment was destroyed by an ant nest.

The best way to break through a person's psychological defense line is to try to enter through the smallest gap, and then slowly expand the gap after entering.

On the one hand, Zhu Ling hopes that plants can achieve breakthrough mutations, so that the strength of the tree people can be greatly improved, and they will not have to remain in the current embarrassing situation.

On the other hand, he was worried about giving others the authority and leaving the tree people's greatest support in the hands of others.

But at the moment, no matter what Somo gives is a delicious pie or a poison that seals the throat after seeing blood.

As the lord of the ancient tree race, he had to eat everything without any room for resistance!

While continuing to extend the third supplementary cooperation agreement, Sumo also gave some supplementary explanations for the first two cooperation agreements.

He waited until the sun set in the west and dusk arrived, then he stood up and stretched out his hand with satisfaction.

"Then it's settled. Lord Zhuling, please hurry up and prepare. Time waits for no one. I have to return to the territory in the evening to resume my life."

Zhu Ling also smiled, stretched out his branch and held it with Sumo: "Well, the botanical garden that I just came over has what you want. In this way, I will have someone take you there, and let him help guide you.

The transplantation and cultivation method of plants also allows you to have close contact with other plants.”

"As for the specific details of cooperation, according to the agreed time, I will arrange the manpower in place as soon as possible to complete our cooperation before winter comes!"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Ling tapped the ground with another branch.

Zhu Xia, who had been waiting at the door for a long time, walked in in time, and after being whispered to by him for a while, she nodded respectfully.

"Distinguished guests from heaven, please come this way!"

Throughout the whole process, the atmosphere in the room was surprisingly harmonious except for a moment when the two were tit-for-tat when the second point was raised.

It was as if the two had not met for the first time, but had truly been allies for a long time.

Seeing this scene, Sun Di and the other two people were amazed, and they thought that they were indeed capable of operating in other people's territory.

But after he walked outside the door and completely disappeared from Zhu Ling's sight, only Sumo knew that his back had been completely soaked.

"Zhu Ling is indeed an old fox. I'm afraid this is one of the baits he planted."

"I wanted to see if I really had no intention, and I deliberately used this trick to test. Unfortunately, my goal is not here at all!"

Following Zhu Xia's footsteps, Su Mo thought to himself, with a hint of thought on his face.

Although Zhu Ling is a bit silly and has fallen into many designed traps, it does not mean that his IQ is really just a decoration and can only be seen but not used.

As early as the second item proposed that only four D-class plants were needed, he had already begun to give secret guidance and used other methods to signal that the guards in the botanical garden were lax.

Even at the end, he told everyone in an almost explicit way:

There are many opportunities for you to "shoplift" in the botanical garden, so hurry up!

Knowing that humans have storage space, such a hint would most likely be taken by someone else.

But right now.

Following the tree man Zhu Xia, he continued back to the botanical garden along the original path. Soma looked at his nose with his eyes and his mind with his nose. During the whole process, he was in trance like the old monk and didn't look anywhere else.

When the other villagers who were still about to make a move saw him like this, they quickly followed him in a dignified manner.

Today's botanical gardens look unattended, with all kinds of plants happily enjoying the sun inside.

But in fact, vaguely, relying on his sixth sense, Somo could feel that there were several eyes looking at everyone, and there was a feeling that if everyone made some movement, they would immediately swarm him.

"The next step is free time. All distinguished guests have ten minutes to visit the botanical garden at will."

"I'm going to help pack the plants, and I'll meet you at the door later!"

After introducing the four plants, Zhu Xia looked at the five honest people with deep meaning, then slowly moved her body and disappeared from sight.
