Chapter 93 Do you think you can escape?
soon.
Only Himeko, Riku, Topa, and Sajin remained in the carriage.
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward.
Toppa got straight to the point, "So, Mr. Lu Li."
"What are your thoughts on the collaboration we discussed in our previous communications?"
"This..." Lu Li scratched his head and glanced at Ji Zi beside him.
Himeko gave him a reassuring look.
"Miss Toppa, Mr. Sand Gold." Lu Li took a deep breath and decided to use the old method.
"Thank you very much for your company's high regard for me, but..."
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you."
"Oh?" Toppa raised an eyebrow slightly. "Could you explain your reasoning?"
"The reason is simple." Lu Li shrugged, his face full of sincerity.
"I'm not an ambitious person. My only dream is to live a carefree life and retire peacefully."
"I have absolutely no interest in saving the world or being a great hero."
"You've really picked the wrong person to work with."
"I'm just a salted fish with a combat power of only 5; I can't lift anything with my hands or carry anything on my shoulders."
"Besides cooking and making coffee, she's really good for nothing."
"All those things you've said about 'pure love god of war' and 'divine strategy' are just misunderstandings, just netizens' imaginations."
"I'm really not as amazing as you guys think."
Lu Li poured out all her thoughts in one breath, then looked at the two of them expectantly.
Hopefully, they will believe their own "heartfelt words".
however.
After hearing his words, Topa and Sandkin exchanged a glance.
They both saw a hint of...understanding in each other's eyes.
"I see." Toppa nodded, with an expression that said, "I understand."
"Mr. Lu Li, we understand your concerns."
"Are you worried about..." Topa looked at Lu Li.
Then, she smiled slightly.
"Are you worried that working with a company will make you lose your freedom and be tied down by all sorts of tasks and responsibilities?"
Lu Li: "?"
No, that's not what I meant!
"Don't worry," Topa continued, "We've said before that cooperation is free and equal."
We will never force you to do anything you don't want to do.
"Furthermore, to show our sincerity, we can also offer you a reward that you can't refuse."
As he spoke, Toppa took a document out of his briefcase and handed it to Lu Li.
"This is a cooperation plan tailored for you by our company. You can take a look at it first."
Lu Li took the document with suspicion and opened it.
The document was covered with a dense array of clauses and terms.
But the most eye-catching number is the last one.
"Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands..."
Lu Li counted them one by one, until her eyes were almost blurry.
"This...this is...annual salary?"
"No." Toppa shook his head. "This is... weekly wages."
Lu Li: "!"
He felt his heart skip a beat.
Weekly salary... what an unfamiliar term.
An unfamiliar word followed by a long string of zeros.
Lu Li felt his breathing become rapid.
He had never seen so much money in his life, no, in either of his two lives.
This isn't just a simple case of "unable to refuse," it's practically throwing money at someone!
Interstellar Peace Corporation truly lives up to its reputation as the universe's number one "rich woman".
"How is it, Mr. Lu Li?" Toppa looked at his shocked expression and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.
"Are you satisfied with this compensation?"
"Gulp." Lu Li swallowed hard.
To be honest, he was tempted.
I'm really tempted.
With this money, he could no longer afford to be a salted fish.
He could even buy a planet and build a giant saltfish farm on it, where he could lie and sunbathe every day.
But... reason told him.
This money is not easy to get.
The saying goes well.
He who takes a bribe is bound to do his bidding; he who eats another's food is obligated to do his bidding.
If he really accepts this money, it would be tantamount to selling himself to the company.
By then, he won't just be a couch potato anymore; he'll probably become the company's most ambitious and hardworking person.
He's either saving the world or on his way to save the world every day.
Those days... just thinking about them sent chills down his spine.
"Ahem." Lu Li forcibly looked away from the tempting string of numbers and handed the document back to Topa.
"Thank you very much for your kindness, but..."
"I still can't agree."
Upon hearing this answer, Topa's smile finally crumbled.
She looked at Lu Li with disbelief.
Why?
She couldn't understand how anyone in this world could resist such a huge temptation.
Does he really have absolutely no interest in money?
"I've already explained the reason," Lu Li said, shrugging with a helpless expression.
"I'm just a fish by nature, I'm not cut out for great things."
"You're giving me so much money, but I don't know where to spend it."
"Besides, enough money is enough for me; too much would just be a burden."
"I still prefer my current life, where I drink coffee, watch movies, and occasionally explore new worlds with my friends."
Lu Li's words plunged Topa and Sand Gold into silence once again.
They discovered that their previously infallible negotiation skills were completely ineffective in front of this man.
Using incentives?
He was unmoved.
Using reputation to exert pressure?
He doesn't care.
Threatening with force?
Putting aside whether they could win, the fact that Himeko was sitting next to them was enough to give them a headache.
This Lu Li is like an impenetrable hedgehog, making it impossible for them to find a way to attack him.
Since none of these work...
Toppa gave Sand Gold a look.
"hehe……"
Sand Gold suddenly laughed.
He stood up, walked up to Lu Li, bent down, and brought his face close to Lu Li's ear.
"Mr. Lu Li, do you know what you look like right now?"
His voice was soft, with a touch of bewitching magic.
"Like what?" Lu Li asked subconsciously.
"Like a kitten that has the sharpest claws in the world but chooses to hide them and pretends to be a gentle and harmless kitten."
Sand Gold straightened up and walked around Lu Li once, as if admiring a rare treasure.
"The more you try to hide, the more attention you attract."
"The more you try to slack off, the more people...want to drag you off that comfortable sofa."
"You, and the secrets in the sky, are like a huge treasure, attracting countless explorers to come and find out."
"Do you think you can continue your leisurely, lazy life just because you rejected us?"
Sand Gold stopped and stood in front of Lu Li, looking down at him.
"I'm telling you, it's impossible."
"Even without us, there will be Star Core Hunters, Masked Fools, and all sorts of unimaginable troubles coming to us."
"You, this huge piece of fat, have fallen into a school of sharks."
Do you think you can escape?
Lu Li: "..."
He knew that what Sand Gold said was true.
From the moment the sky appeared, he was caught in a huge vortex.
He wanted to stay out of it, but he couldn't help it.
"So?" Lu Li's smile faded, and he looked up to meet Sha Jin's gaze calmly. "What are you trying to say?"
"What I want to say is..." Sand Gold's smile grew even brighter.
"Since you can't avoid it, why not choose..."
"Why don't you join us?"
