Chapter 008 Agreement

In truth, Gandalf's visit this time was not only on his own behalf but also on behalf of other human nations, such as Rohan and Gondor.

There were even traces of dwarves and elves among them.

Thus, Gandalf's journey this time carried the hopes of many.

Of course, they would not expect Wang Bo to hand over the super rice for free; they were willing to pay a huge price for it, and even offered a series of conditions.

In a word, as long as Wang Bo was willing, everything was negotiable.

Having been away from Middle-earth for a long time, Wang Bo was unaware of the intricacies involved. When he heard Gandalf say that other nations were willing to purchase the super rice, he couldn't help but laugh.

"Is this something that required you to make a special trip? Have you become an errand boy now, Gandalf?"

Gandalf took a puff from his pipe and asked in surprise, "You agree?"

"They're willing to pay, so why wouldn't I sell?" Wang Bo retorted.

The super rice was a product Wang Bo had brought from another world, yielding a thousand kilograms per mu, enough to solve the problem of low productivity.

Perhaps others valued such a thing highly.

But Wang Bo did not care.

He could have as much of it as he wanted; if others wanted it, they just had to pay for it.

Gandalf breathed a sigh of relief. "I thank you on behalf of Middle-earth for your generosity, O King of the Lonely Mountain."

Wang Bo waved his hand and said, "You're welcome, Gandalf. It's nothing."

"Perhaps it is nothing to you, but for other nations, it will completely change their fate. You are a great king."

"Thank you for the compliment," Wang Bo said dismissively.

Seeing Wang Bo's attitude, Gandalf said no more and decisively raised his glass to drink with Wang Bo.

The next day, after waking up, Gandalf carried a bag of fine seeds and left the Lonely Mountain to bring the good news to other nations.

After seeing Gandalf off, Wang Bo stayed in the Lonely Mountain for a few more days before leaving.

This time, Wang Bo came to the Saint Seiya world.

When Wang Bo entered the Scorpio Temple, Milo happened to be away, and the temple was empty, which made Wang Bo curious—where had Milo gone?

So Wang Bo left the Scorpio Temple and arrived at the Capricorn Temple, where he encountered another Gold Saint, Shura.

"Yo," Wang Bo greeted. "Shura, have you seen Milo?"

Shura was sitting cross-legged, seemingly meditating, and did not rise to greet Wang Bo, but he answered his question. "Milo is protecting Athena."

"Is Athena not in the Sanctuary?"

Shura nodded. "Athena recently left the Sanctuary and went to the mortal world. Milo is guarding her closely."

Wang Bo said, "Oh," and then asked, "Do you know where Milo's apprentice is?"

Since Milo was not around, Wang Bo decided to go see Shizuka Todo instead.

Without lifting his head, Shura said, "Milo's apprentice is serving as Athena's attendant and has gone with her."

Wang Bo: ...

Thinking it over, Milo had always stayed in the Sanctuary and lacked common sense about the mortal world, while Athena, also known as Saori Kido, was a typical heiress of the world-famous Kido Zaibatsu and similarly lacked some common sense.

Shizuka Todo, on the other hand, was the daughter of an ordinary family who had grown up in the mortal world. Indeed, they needed someone with common sense to attend to them.

Of course, this was just Wang Bo's assumption.

In reality, the Kido Zaibatsu had all kinds of people; with a single word from Saori Kido, anything could be handled properly.

There was no need for Shizuka Todo to run around serving them; perhaps she herself was the one being served.

Since both women were away, Wang Bo couldn't be bothered to go to the mortal world to find them. He could always come another time.

So Wang Bo returned the same way he came, back to Middle-earth.

Then, from Middle-earth, Wang Bo entered the DC world.

At this time, the DC world was as peaceful as ever. Because General Zod had entered another world, the plot of Man of Steel had not unfolded.

And since Superman Clark was serving as president in the Resident Evil world, the plot of Batman v Superman had also not taken place.

Thus, the people of the DC world did not know that there was a Superman in this world.

Lex Luthor was still adding bricks to his own enterprise.

And since there was still some time before Steppenwolf's invasion, the entire DC world remained very peaceful, except for the simple-minded Gotham City, everything seemed calm.

Since parting with Diana last time, Wang Bo had not seen her for a long time.

So, taking advantage of this vacation, Wang Bo came to visit Diana.

After entering the DC world, the first thing Wang Bo did was head to Themyscira.

Because he knew Diana was there now.

When Wang Bo entered Themyscira, Diana immediately sensed his presence and came to greet him.

"Welcome, my friend."

"Thank you." Wang Bo warmly embraced Diana, and then they parted.

Diana asked, "What brings you here today? Do you need my help?"

"No," Wang Bo shook his head. "I'm just here on vacation."

"Well, that's..." Diana was also surprised. "That stingy cheat of yours actually gave you a vacation."

Having known Wang Bo for so long, she had heard him complain more than once about how that thing called a cheat exploited its employees.

Hearing the word 'vacation' today, Diana was quite surprised.

Wang Bo did not hide anything and said bluntly, "Because I'm about to go to a relatively dangerous world, it gave me two months off."

Diana was startled. "How dangerous?"

"I'm not entirely sure yet, but I think I can handle it." Wang Bo felt that although the cheat liked to exploit him, it wouldn't send him to his death.

Diana said seriously, "If you run into trouble, you can come to me anytime. Just as you were willing to help me back then, I am very willing to help you."

"I will."

Wang Bo was not the type to be too proud to ask for help. If he really encountered trouble, he would not only seek Diana but also Athena, and even the Tathagata Buddha, since the latter owed him a favor.

In his view, safety always came first.

Diana patted Wang Bo on the shoulder. "Alright, let's drop this topic. Let me show you the new changes on Themyscira over the years."

Wang Bo naturally would not refuse. He was also curious to know what new changes had occurred on Themyscira after so many years.

So he followed Diana and strolled around Themyscira.

Then Wang Bo realized that Diana had tricked him. Themyscira had indeed changed, but not much.
