Above the starry sky.
Lin Chen and Zhang Wei stood facing each other.
Zhang Wei squinted slightly: "Lin Chen, the leader of the Cultivation World in the Sea of Abandonment, right?"
Lin Chen said with a laugh: "It seems you know quite a bit about me."
Zhang Wei sneered: "There’s no wall in the world impermeable to wind. The Wei Family lost face, although they covered it up tightly, how could they hide it from people?"
Lin Chen shrugged with a smile: "Since you know me, was pulling me up here just for a fight, or do you have something to say?"
Zhang Wei’s eyes flashed: "If you nod, you can gain the friendship of our Zhang Family and become an honored guest. Rest assured, we won’t be as foolish as the Wei Family, trying to control you. We can cooperate for mutual satisfaction."
Lin Chen laughed: "Is this an attempt to win me over? However, the Federation discovered our world long ago, and now that the official understanding is sufficient, they have clear management policies. At this point, trying to win me over seems pointless."
Zhang Wei said in a deep voice: "We don’t care about the resources or system of the Cultivation World. What we need is your group of Heaven Deities."
Lin Chen realized: "You’re not interested in our strength, but perhaps you value our lifespan, or our ability for space jumping."
Zhang Wei nodded frankly: "Yes, although your space jumping is not as effective as wormhole transmission, it has advantages within the Near Star Domain if utilized, it holds great value."
"I’ve looked into it, and all Divine Power Users who can space jump are gathered on Planet 49 and all concentrated in your logistics company."
"Using such divine power to help ordinary merchants deliver goods is a total waste. If you agree to cooperate with our Zhang Family, we can offer you better terms, whatever you want, we can agree."
Lin Chen shook his head: "We transport goods for ourselves, but if it comes to you, the situation might be different."
After a pause, Lin Chen frankly said: "I know you want to assimilate us. It’s not just you; I’m afraid none of the Imperial Star Thirty-six Elite Families don’t want it. I can only say you picked the wrong target; we don’t accept assimilation."
"As for the cooperation you mentioned, if you indeed have cooperative projects, you can bring them and discuss them with me. I’m not necessarily going to refuse, but if you want anything else, don’t bother thinking about it."
Zhang Wei frowned, understanding Lin Chen’s meaning.
Pure project cooperation is acceptable, but wanting assimilation or disguising it as cooperation is impossible.
Zhang Wei thought for a moment, Lin Chen didn’t outright refuse, which seemed like a decent outcome.
At least before him, it seems Lin Chen hasn’t cooperated with anyone.
"Alright, if we have suitable projects, we will visit you for discussions."
Lin Chen nodded: "Can."
Although Lin Chen currently doesn’t lack resources, having discussions is no problem.
As long as matters stay within control, and you can offer a sufficiently tempting bargaining chip, cooperation is no issue.
After all, the Zhang Family is one of the Thirty-six Elite Families in the Imperial City, holding immense energy.
While Lin Chen claims to be fearless, having one less enemy is always a good thing.
Lin Chen stared at Zhang Wei: "Having finished with that, shall we discuss the matter of your son’s campus bullying now?"
Zhang Wei answered straightforwardly: "Since he violated school rules, I’ll deal with him when I return!"
