"You should at least bargain for a price. How can you just flip the table?" Hearing this, Luo Shu chuckled, then walked back to the table, sat down, asked the waiter to bring another cup of coffee, and then continued to say to Iwanaga Kotoko: "Since this is a bargain, then my request is very simple. Please tell me your purpose of lurking in the Phoenix Society." Hearing this, Iwanaga Kotoko hesitated for a moment and wanted to refuse, but she chose to explain: "I need Phoenix's tears!" "My promotion ceremony still lacks this auxiliary material. In the current world, the most likely place to find Phoenix Tears is the Phoenix Society, which targets Phoenix." “Is this reason enough?” The material for promotion is Revel's tears? Luo Shu was somewhat surprised to hear this. Although Phoenix's tears can cure all diseases, they are not qualified as the main material for becoming a demigod, right? Luo Shu frowned and asked curiously:

"Excuse me, is there any requirement for Phoenix's own strength for these tears?" "For example, to reach the level of a demigod or even higher?" When Iwanaga Kotoko heard this, she looked at Luo Shu in surprise and her tone started to become strange: "No, the tears of the pure-blooded Phoenix will do. If the target is a demigod, I would never come to you, Minister Luo, to cooperate, would I?" "Let's not talk about the price of asking Minister Luo Shu to help. Just considering your identity, you can't be persuaded with just a few chips, right?" "I know the situation very well." Iwanaga Kotoko said this with a rather subtle look: "SDS's possession of a demigod has always been a legend, so in reality, you don't want the identity of that demigod to be exposed to the outside world, right?" "Please ask the demigod who doesn't want to reveal his identity to take action. Do you think I can afford the price?" The implication of Iwanaga Kotoko's words was almost to say directly that Luo Shu, you are the demigod with a hidden identity in SDS. Of course, she didn't say it directly. Apart from that, Iwanaga Kotoko was teasing Luo Shu a lot. It's because he 'can't afford the price' and 'he's a demigod who doesn't want to reveal his identity'. He almost said, "Don't use the fact that I'm hiding my identity as a bargaining chip. I won't pay such a high price." However, in the face of Iwanaga Kotoko's teasing, Luo Shu was indeed thinking about the information revealed by Iwanaga Kotoko. All we need is a pure-blooded Phoenix... Luo Shu paused for a moment, then said: "Although it may be a little offensive, Miss Iwanaga, you should not be promoted to the demigod level, but the hero level, right?" "Please don't say such ignorant things." Iwanaga Kotoko sighed and looked at Luo Shu with a somewhat helpless expression: "If there are demigods in the SDS, then they should understand that only when demigods are promoted will they need the assistance of rituals, right?"

Luo Shu narrowed his eyes upon hearing this and said meaningfully: "But some special, higher-level heroic classes also require the assistance of rituals." "You know, there are people like this in SDS!" Iwanaga Kotoko was speechless. She just stared at Luo Shu quietly for about ten seconds, then grabbed her hair like crazy and said: "Ahhhhh!!" "Is there something wrong with you?" "Why do you have to dig to the bottom of it?" "Is it necessary to be so careful when I advance to the hero level and the demigod level?" "We just have the intention to cooperate, not a blind date. If we want to cooperate, then we will cooperate. Why are you asking about my family background? Are you here to cause trouble?" Luo Shu listened to Iwanaga Kotoko's complaints, snapped his fingers, and used the power of Mist Flame to reinforce the illusion in the coffee shop to prevent Iwanaga Kotoko's terrible true feelings from being exposed to others. After Iwanaga Kotoko's madness ended, Luo Shu turned around and said with a smile: "I think we can cooperate openly now!" "Be honest with yourself!" Iwanaga Kotoko grumbled, then crossed her legs and said unhappily: "Really? It's normal for a hero to be promoted to a demigod with one or two heroic materials. Why did you think it was a special class?" "Even if there is the same person inside SDS, why is it so easy for you to associate him with someone like him...huh?!!" Iwanaga Kotoko suddenly realized something and looked at Luo Shu in shock: "Could it be that you, too?" "I didn't say anything." Luo Shu took the second cup of coffee handed over by the waiter, raised the cup with a smile, and then took a sip. He did not admit it, but did not deny it either: "Maybe it's because I'm familiar with people with special ranks inside~" "Very familiar..." Iwanaga Kotoko laughed, and then said with a playful look: "So familiar that you can see each other's face every day when you wash your face and look in the mirror, right?" "I should have thought of it earlier. Only someone with similar experience could tell so quickly that I was preparing to be promoted to a special class of hero." "Come to think of it, is it okay to expose it to me like this? The price of asking a hero to help is different from that of asking a demigod to help." Luo Shu smiled and said, "I told you, be honest, right?" "Be honest!" Iwanaga Kotoko suddenly realized, and then couldn't help but chuckle: "Besides your face, there is another thing I like about you." "Although your previous questioning was annoying, the fact that you took the initiative to lower the fee is really cool." "But, having said that..."

Halfway through the conversation, Iwanaga Kotoko suddenly looked at Luo Shu with a look of resentment: "That's great~ Your heroic ritual must be very simple, right?" "Unlike me, my youth has been stuck for six years, and until now, I still have no absolute certainty..." "I was the first person to get access to class information, but now I haven't even been promoted to Hero level..." "Not to mention that old man Ma Cang Ye Wang, the European Bi Yi also successfully advanced recently. I heard that a few people from the big country in the west successfully advanced. In the end, I am the only one who is stuck..." Luo Shu ignored the resentful remarks of the woman, but looked directly at Iwanaga Kotoko, and then said calmly: "I can assist you, Miss Iwanaga, in completing the ritual of advancement, but I have a small condition that I hope you can agree to." Hearing this, Iwanaga Kotoko restrained her expression, looked at Luo Shu seriously and solemnly, and waited quietly for his speech. At this time, Luo Shu showed a sincere smile and said directly: "Ms. Kotoko, please be mine!!" Chapter 233 I won! "Huh?" Iwanaga Kotoko's eyes dulled for a moment, as if she had never expected Luo Shu to say such a thing. Become his? Wait, wait, is this a proposal?!! "Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute. Although I am quite satisfied with your appearance, you are not really a lolita complex, right?" Kotoko Iwanaga was a little panicked now. She was really - a little panicked. If Luo Shu is really a lolita complex, then wouldn't she be in danger? I'm so excited just thinking about it... No, I'm so scared. Kotoko Iwanaga tried her best to look scared, but the expression that came out was more like a weird laugh. Seeing Iwanaga Kotoko's awkward reaction, Luo Shu immediately smiled and said: "I'm just kidding." All of Iwanaga Kotoko's expressions froze at this moment. It lasted for five seconds before she came back to her senses and looked at Luo Shu expressionlessly: "I see. Are you returning my 'joke'?" "He's really a man who won't take any loss!" "Even if it's really a proposal, you'll be rejected on the grounds that you don't want to date a man who's been dating multiple times, right?" Hearing Luo Shu say this, Iwanaga Kotoko nodded in agreement: "That's exactly what I said! It seems like you really understand me!" “It’s just a little bit of empathy.”

Luo Shu responded with a smile, and then asked: "So, Ms. Iwanaga, have you already decided on your target within the Phoenix Company?" "Are you talking about Phoenix's whereabouts?" Iwanaga Kotoko frowned at this time: "I have tried to confirm it several times, but there has been no accurate information. Both the president and other executives have kept their mouths shut. Apart from the Phoenix codenamed Flame Demon that exists in the Akihabara Abyss, I have not received any relevant information." You went to the president and still want news? Luo Shu glanced at Iwanaga Kotoko subtly. You're really good at letting President Revel know that you were looking for Phoenix! In front of Phoenix, you said you would track her down and make her shed blood and tears? Luo Shu, feeling quite confused, glanced at Iwanaga Qinzi and said: "So, the reason why Ms. Iwanaga agreed to meet is because she wanted to use the power of SDS to capture the Phoenix and get her tears?" "Capture is not necessary, the tears are what's important." Iwanaga Kotoko sighed, rubbed her temples, and said with a distressed look: "According to my investigation, this thing can only be produced voluntarily by Phoenix, which is very troublesome." "To be honest, my goal is to establish a relationship with the Phoenix in the abyss and exchange for a portion of the Phoenix's tears." "If you want to do this, you must spend some time with Phoenix, build a relationship, or at least find the other party's interests and pain points, and this is impossible without long-term contact." Iwanaga Kotoko said this, turned her head and looked at the glass window beside her, and sighed slightly: "But Minister Luo Shu is also aware of my situation. If Phoenix really existed by my side, she and I would probably be killed by the endless stream of evil-minded people." Luo Shu was somewhat surprised at this time: "It shouldn't be the case, right? Don't you have many monsters working for you?" Iwanaga Kotoko sighed at this time, propped up her cheek with one hand, and said helplessly: "Although I am served as a princess of a monster, this recognition is actually a very casual connection." "There are many monsters who are willing to give me face and lend a hand when it is not dangerous, but there are very few who are willing to fight for me." "In the final analysis, although I am treated as a princess, I am actually just a lonely person. When the risk is not big, there are still people willing to listen to me. But when the risk is big and I have no big power to protect me, in the eyes of those secret organizations, I am basically a talking abyss tool." “This is what bothers me the most right now.” Listening to Iwanaga Kotoko's description, Luo Shu pondered for a moment, bit his nails and said: "In other words, your request is actually to provide you with the convenience of obtaining Phoenix Tears and getting what you want, while the Phoenix itself can be given to us SDS for processing." "So, in the Phoenix incident, you probably mean to leave the military matters to us, and you can only handle other matters that can be solved with intelligence, right?" "That's pretty much it." Iwanaga Kotoko sighed, then said distressedly:

"Because I personally don't like the use of force, when I was a kid, I chose a support class." "But in this world, without fighting ability, it is impossible to survive in this mysterious world." “Then, I was tricked.” Iwanaga Kotoko looked helpless at this time:
