“Are you interested in a win-win deal?”
When Allen asked that question to the protagonist, he didn’t forget to use his and other talents that would prove him any aid in convincing the protagonist.
“But before we proceed with the deal, can I ask for your name? I am Allen Walker, a student at Manipulator’s Academy, nice to meet you.”
Allen asked again and this time, he asked about his name to build rapport with him while introducing himself afterward.
“Deus S. Zero. To be honest, I am quite interested in the Manipulator’s Academy then your deal.”
“You didn’t even hear of my deal and trust me, it is several times better than enrolling at Manipulator’s Academy.”
In reply to Deus’s question, Allen snorted as he replied to him by giving him more suspense on what his deal was.
When striking a deal, it was best to have the other party interested in the deal first and the deal could either be revealed or not since it depends on the negotiator. Of course, Allen approached Deus using the latter method.
Not that it mattered to Allen which method he would use since as long as the other party was below Highest Realm Peak Stage, then his talents could easily affect them without them knowing about it.
“Then I’ll take your word for it. Just for the sake that you didn’t attack me despite me being hostile to you first. Mind telling me about this deal of yours?”
Deus said as he asked Allen about the win-win deal that he was talking about. He might as well know about it since he had nothing to lose.
“I can tell you about it. But if you reject, then I will have to kill you.”
When Deus heard of Allen’s reply, he couldn’t help but gulp his saliva down his throat as he took Allen seriously now. He knew that Allen wasn’t the type of person to joke around if he talks about business. Although he didn’t know anything about Allen, Deus just felt that Allen gave off that kind of aura.
“I accept. But your deal better is good or else one way or another, I’ll have to kill you as well.”
Deus threatened Allen that if he wasn’t satisfied with the deal, he would attempt to kill Allen which Allen just shrugged off as nothing but the empty threat of a weakling.
If Deus was at least as strong as the Headmaster of the Manipulator’s Academy, then Allen wouldn’t think of it as an empty threat but since Deus was even weaker than Axel, Allen didn’t have to take Deus’ threat seriously.
Even if Deus became stronger in the future, it doesn’t mean that Allen also wouldn’t become stronger. After all, Deus wasn’t the only protagonist as Allen was also a protagonist of his universe.
“Have you ever read any novels or fanfictions about protagonists receiving a chat group that allows them to communicate with otherworldly beings from other universes?”
When Deus heard such a question from Allen, he already knew where this was going so he cut Allen and told his findings to him.
“So what you are saying is that you will invite me to this chat group of yours?”
Hearing Deus’ question, Allen knew that Deus wasn’t as dumb as he had thought he was which was a plus since he didn’t want a dumb protagonist in their group that would ruin every plan of their group.
Imagine having the best plan only for it to be ruined by one of your chat group members because he didn’t follow the plan and messed it up to the point that couldn’t be recycled and salvaged.
Yeah, not fun at all. Allen didn’t want such a thing to happen since, for him, he was the type to say ‘all according to plan’ and if it doesn’t go according to plan, he would make it go according to plan.
But since the rewards from the Major Task were quite lucrative, then even if Deus was the dumb type of protagonist, Allen didn’t mind inviting him. After all, he was the admin and he has the privilege to kick members if he wanted to.
He could even mute them for an infinite duration to the point that even if he can’t kick them, he can just act as if they weren’t members of the chat group.
Allen didn’t waste his time when he was in this world as he had examined some of the capabilities of his Administration Privilege. It was when Allen was at the mansion on the mountainside.
“You are spot on. I indeed plan to invite you to the chat group of protagonists from other universes. A chat group that spans across the entire Katake Multiverse.”
When Allen said that to Deus, Deus acted as if he had already expected such a reply from Allen.
“I am in. I have nothing to lose anyway and from what I have read from novels and fanfictions about chat groups, it wasn’t entirely bad since the system gives rewards for every completion of the tasks.”
“I bet my money that inviting me was one of the tasks that were issued by the chat group, right?”
Allen nodded at Deus’s words as in Allen’s mind, he was satisfied with Deus’ IQ as he wasn’t that dumb. Deus instantly understood the hints that Allen had given to him which was a plus that made Allen have a good impression of Deus.
Using his Administration Privilege, Allen sent an invitation to Deus which Deus accepted in an instant.
*Ding!*
[Idle Zenchillionare Tycoon has joined the chat group!]
[Reality’s Bitch: Good work, Allen. We can finally have the travel feature unlocked.]
[Self-Proclaimed Genius Goblin Hero: Yeah, good work. Now I can enjoy a 10% discount from the AMCG shop.]
When Allen had read Axel’s reply, he couldn’t help but have thoughts inside his mind.
‘Only if you knew that the Administration Privilege gives me 50% discount in the AMCG Shop while the Moderator Privilege gives 25% discount.’
Of course, Allen didn’t say that as he read the responses of his fellow chat group members.
[Lolicon Shota Cultivator With Soul Fetish: You guys invited another member that fasts?]
[Idle Zenchillionare Tycoon:…]
Deus didn’t know what to say.
A Bitch, Self-Proclaimed Genius, and a Lolicon Shota. Did he join a shady chat group?
