“Interesting.”

Monroe Brisegio reacted with his usual phrase, intrigued by Link’s theory,

“Go on, elaborate.”

Saying this, Monroe Brisegio quickly drew out a full set of commonly used botany experiment equipment from a leather bag on his left waist and put it on the ground, “Here’s the down payment, hang on to it. If the rest of your idea proves more valuable, there’s more coming.”

This casual behavior highlighted one thing – he was flaunting his wealth!

Link, having no qualms, directly packed up the miniaturized botany equipment (professionally compressed for easy carrying and ready for use at full size when needed) into his larger bag.

He had several reasons to see Elise.

Seeking cooperation (?) was one, trying to gather the experiment equipment was another.

He was not going to let misguided pride get in the way of the opportunity to acquire the equipment, even if he was dealing with a well-off second generation, given the significant difference in the amount of wealth at their disposal.

It was not charity.

It was a fair gain that was the result of a collective brainstorm within his team.

Real, tangible fruits of labor, very sweet.

It felt great to have it.

He would tailor his words according to whom he was speaking with.

Since Monroe was so generous with the “money”, Link decided not to beat around the bush.

Link weighed up his thoughts and candidly laid it out to Monroe:

“We infer from the gross enlargement of carnivorious animals, contrasted with the relatively normal size of herbivores, as well as the mutations in some plants, that the fallen gods’ flesh and blood in this world have most likely been largely consumed by carnivorous animals, with a small portion absorbed by some plants, and the rest seeping into the soil and water.

The current state of this world, is as a result of the World’s origin being severely damaged in the battle between the God Slayer and the gods, with carnivorous animals, some plants, and a very small portion of herbivores undergoing rapid mutation and evolution, increasingly extracting more resources from the world.

With the origin damaged and resources exhausted, this world has lost the time for slow recovery, the real destruction is not far away.”

Monroe pondered over Link’s words.

Their elite squad had a reason for hiding in the dense forest after they regrouped.

They had noticed the mutations in some of the trees, shrubs, and flowers and wanted to research the cause of these mutations.

They had no knowledge of the so-called ‘relics’, or ‘God Slayer’ and the battle with the gods.

One of the reasons why Monroe generously gave a full set of commonly used botany experiment equipment earlier, was because of this realization.

And now, the value of what Link had just revealed was clearly more significant.

In essence, he had completely divulged his approach towards solving the main task 3, which is also the main objective of the camp mission.

This information would greatly influence and inform their squad’s future strategy.

Therefore, Monroe didn’t hesitate to dig out two sets of miniaturized commonly used zoology experiment equipment, and microbiology experiment equipment.

He was never stingy with “money,” anything that could be resolved with “money” and resources, he didn’t skimp on.

This time, Monroe did not put the miniaturized equipment on the ground, he handed it over personally.

Compared to the last time, this demonstrated his respect towards Link.

Respect stems from both position and power.

The core strength of a wizard comes from their level and knowledge.

Link Grande’s wizard’s level was not low, his knowledge was abundant, he deserved Monroe Brisegio’s respect.

“Thank you.”

With a light smile, Link received the two sets of miniaturized equipment and put them in his bag.

Respect was not Link’s primary concern.

That being said, Monroe’s change of attitude didn’t affect Link’s mood.

“Pleasant transaction.”

Having finished handing over the equipment, Monroe extended his right hand once more.

Link didn’t hesitate and gave a light handshake in return.

Their hands touched and immediately loosened, showing superficial politeness, superficial respect.

Having achieved his goal, and with Monroe clearly being cautious of Elise having a private conversation with Link,

Link, not being oblivious, promptly took his leave: “I’ll head off first. Contact me if there’s anything.”

“Okay. Safe journey.”

Monroe didn’t try to hold him back, he watched Link leave.

It wasn’t until Link was quite a distance away that Monroe notified Elise.

With a whoosh, Elise flew over, took a glance at the retreating figure of Link, and gave a grim smirk, “So, you just let him leave? Not waiting for me to say goodbye?”

Monroe noticed Elise’s crazed state, a flicker of helplessness appeared in his eyes, and he explained, “This man is deep, I don’t think you would have an upper hand if you were to deal with him.”

“What advantage could he take of me?”

Rolling her eyes, Elise scornfully retorted, “What advantage could he have over me? As you say, using me as an enforcer to deal with his enemies? That would be a pleasure. If I wasn’t up for it, I’d blow him up right then and there!”

“Yes, yes, you’d biowhim right off.”

Having been at the receiving end of Elise’s temper before, Monroe chose not to delve further into the topic. He reiterated Link’s analysis and said,

“What he just told us does make sense. He has indeed shown sincerity in this regard. However, his motive is to incite us into conflict with the opposition camp, buying time for himself.”

“Is there a problem?”

A look of madness flickered in Elise’s eyes, and she laughed sarcastically,

“Hahahaha… There is no one that is not selfish, including me, including you.

If it weren’t for the high sum of inheritance saying that whoever marries me when I come of age will obtain half, would you have cared so much about someone as deranged as me?”
