411 The Legend of the Dark Sec (2/2)

Why does he sound like my dad when he's not my dad! Besides, I'm already so slim, why do I need to go on a diet?

With doubts and grievance in his heart, Wang Baole and Jin Duoming followed the illusory girl and toured another three labs. However, the last three labs seemed more focused on the research and lab work, so they couldn't really understand what was going on. At the same time, they were still reeling from their knowledge of the Dark Sect. They were in no mood to check out what was going on in the last three labs. The illusory girl soon led them away and out of the research facility.

Only when they stepped into the teleportation array formation did Wang Baole finally feel his heart calm down. He turned and stared at the illusory girl who looked exactly like Little Missy. He turned and stared at the endless research facility, which seemed to hide countless secrets. He could sense that… there must be more secrets the Federation was hiding inside that it didn't wish to make public!

Maybe there's a Nascent Soul here. Who's to know? Wang Baole muttered secretly. He teleported alongside Jin Duoming and left with questions plaguing him.

When both of them appeared in the main Martian city again, they both released their breath at the same time. They didn't linger in the city. They boarded a cruiser and headed straight for the new city.

Jin Duoming was very satisfied with the visit. He had learned many pieces of secret information. The most important thing was that their proposal for a research facility was approved. He felt he had made a smart move by bringing Wang Baole along for this trip.

He hadn't told Wang Baole, but he had previously requested to visit Zhao Pinfang before, but the latter had ignored him. That was why Jin Duoming had thought hard about it. When he had applied again, he had included Wang Baole's name.

This round, Zhao Pinfang had agreed to have them over.

Jin Duoming had done quite a lot of preparations after obtaining the approval. He had thought about how Wang Baole might be embarrassed in front of Zhao Pinfang. He would have done something good if that had happened. The great Master Zhao didn't seem like the sort to kill the donkey when the grinding was done.

But Master Zhao only did a visual assessment without making any other moves… maybe he thinks that Wang Baole's not bad? That can't be possible. But if that's not the case, why would he reveal so many secrets, and even indirectly help Wang Baole come to an understanding of how to refine Dharmic Armaments… Jin Duoming had many doubts, but he was still happy with his gains.

As for Wang Baole, he felt that he had gained much as well. He had learned about a part of the Dark Sect's history and gained enlightenment on the Heavenly Evocation of Dharmic Armaments.

The former expanded Wang Baole's horizons while the latter was an immense practical help to his current stage in studying Dharmic Armaments.

But Wang Baole still felt that the way Zhao Pinfang had looked at him, and his final words, had been slightly strange. He thought about how Jin Duoming had invited him along. Even though he couldn't discern the details, he could still tell that Jin Duoming had made use of something special he had to gain an opportunity for the visit and also the approval for his request.

At that thought, Wang Baole raised his eyebrow. He suddenly patted Jin Duoming on the shoulder. He had something resembling a smile on his face as he spoke.

”Old Jin, you know, I've been studying Dharmic Armaments recently. I lack proper samples. Why don't you lend me fifty of those?”

Jin Duoming, who had been in a good mood, instinctively and hastily voiced his refusal when he heard Wang Baole's tone of voice.

”You might as well rob me blind. Do I look like I have so many Dharmic Armaments? No!”

”Really? Well, actually, I feel that there isn't really a need for a research facility in the new city, and I think Master Zhao seems to have some misunderstanding about me. It's alright, I'll just speak to the Governor when I get back. We won't go ahead with the research facility,” Wang Baole said casually while snorting inwardly. He thought about how Jin Duoming had been planning to use his influence for his pet project. Why would Wang Baole agree to that without him coughing up something in return?

As soon as Wang Baole said that, Jin Duoming smiled wryly. He finally realized that Wang Baole was expressing his discontent. He was adamant about getting something out of this, by hook or by crook.

”One, I swear… I only have two on me. My family's not going to give me anymore. I can only lend you one!”

”You're giving me one? That's not appropriate. It's such a valuable thing. Fine, fine, since you're so sincere, I can't turn the gift down. It'll hurt your heart. Fine, I'll accept the gift. There's no next time.” Wang Baole patted his tummy and shrugged. He had a look of exasperation on his face.

Jin Duoming was about to go crazy. He said he would lend it to him, not give it to him… but this wasn't the first time he had witnessed Wang Baole's complete lack of shame. Still, he couldn't bear the pain of losing a Dharmic Armament. He knew though, that if Wang Baole didn't get what he wanted, this jerk would really do something like send a voice transmission to the Governor. He thanked the heavens that Wang Baole didn't know the truth. Else, he would be asking for more in return… Jin Duoming gritted his teeth.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
