?55: Chapter 55 Odd Character 55: Chapter 55 Odd Character “Surprised, aren’t you?

    You never thought I’d look this way, did you?” Seeing the astonished look on Zhou Tian’s face, the puppet maker appeared very calm, floating to the main chair at the side of the room and signaled Zhou Tian to sit and talk.

    Although Zhou Tian had been surprised several times today, he was here to ask for help this time.

    Thus, he was quite respectful when facing the puppet maker.

    After listening to the latter, Zhou Tian honestly sat in the guest chair.

    “I know why you’re here.

    You’ve taken a piece of land outside the NPC city because you fight the undead monsters under the Lord of Hades.

    Then you secretly moved all the military power, providing an opportunity for these NPCs to occupy the land.

    Now the NPCs are trying to take over, so you become anxious and come to me, presumably for help!” Without giving Zhou Tian a chance to speak, the puppet maker preemptively revealed Zhou Tian’s purpose of being here.

    Zhou Tian was not surprised that the puppet maker knew why he was here.

    With the puppet maker’s influence in the beginner’s area and his obviously high IQ, understanding Zhou Tian’s purpose was not a difficult task from any perspective.

    Zhou Tian wasn’t worried that the puppet maker understood his intention.

    He had anticipated this situation before he came.

    After hearing the puppet maker’s words, Zhou Tian’s expression naturally remained calm.

    “You’re right.

    I am here for help.”

    “Why should I help you?

    If I were to fight against the NPC side, I don’t know how many of my children I’d lose.

    My children are not there to make up for your mistakes.

    If you want to send my beloved children to the battlefield, give me a convincing reason!”

    “As you said, I caused this.

    But you should also know, if I had not, the undead army under the Lord of Hades would have taken over the Skeleton Cave by now.

    Even worse, they might have broken out of Skeleton Cave, and their strength is well-known!

    I am not aggrandizing others.

    If their main force enters our beginner’s area, none of our branches, including your Puppet House, can be their opponent.

    So I don’t regret my decision in the previous matter.

    As for this time, I indeed need your help, but I won’t let you help me for nothing.

    Sending troops this time to deal with those NPCs is beneficial to you.”

    “Nonsense.

    Someone, show our guest out!” Just like any other lobbyist, Zhou Tian originally planned to whet the puppet maker’s appetite a bit before revealing his main point.

    However, he hadn’t expected the maker to be so straightforward and dismiss him without even listening to his further explanations and order other puppets to usher Zhou Tian out.

    “Hold on, I still have something to say.” Fearing that he would really end up being thrown out like this, Zhou Tian quickly said, “Even if you don’t help me this time, when the NPCs take over my territory, you will still have to launch an attack on them according to the rules.

    Comparatively, it’s less damaging and there will be more chances for merits if you deal with them now than after they’ve built their city.

    As for which one to chose, you should be very clear.”

    “What a nuisance, it has nothing to do with me.” Zhou Tian had never expected the puppet maker to be so quirky.

    Even after he had laid everything out so clearly, he still couldn’t win the maker over.

    Seeing the maker’s impassive face, Zhou Tian felt helpless.

    He recalled the maker’s power, and reluctantly followed the puppets out of the room.

    “Damn it!” Zhou Tian had been very confident when he left, but he hadn’t expected such an outcome.

    Considering his current situation, Zhou Tian began to doubt his previous decision.

    “If I go back like this, I’m finished.” In his heart, Zhou Tian was anxious.

    Seeing the two puppets ahead of him, he made up his mind.

    “I might as well give it a shot!” Zhou Tian couldn’t figure out a solution.

    Even though he knew very clearly that most of the monsters in this world had very limited intelligence, he couldn’t help but ask the two puppets in front of him, “Do you two know what your mother treasures most?”

    “Father!”

    “No, it should be Alice!”

    “No….”

    As the puppets began to argue because of different concepts, Zhou Tian showed a hint of joy.

    No matter what the reason, the fact that the puppets had such reactions was enough.

    Through their conversation, Zhou Tian had already obtained several pieces of important information.

    To Zhou Tian, the puppet maker was definitely an erratic person and typically difficult to deal with.

    However, in his view, dealing poorly with such people only meant he hadn’t found the right method.

    As long as he used the correct strategy, even the most recalcitrant person could eventually communicate successfully.

    From what Zhou Tian knew, if he wanted to get along with these difficult people, he had no choice but to tap into what interested them.

    And right now, Zhou Tian had already obtained relevant pieces of information from the mouths of the puppets.

    Now all he needed to do was complete these pieces of information.

    After obtaining enough information and finding the right angle, Zhou Tian was confident that he could talk with the puppet maker again.

    If Zhou Tian wanted to gather information right now, no other place could be more comprehensive and reliable than the information from the puppets’ mouths.

    “Wait, can you tell me about the father and Alice you mentioned?

    I might be able to help you judge, to see who your mother treasures most.”

    “Mother gave us bodies, but couldn’t give us souls.

    The soul must be created by father.

    Mother is looking for a father, so father is the most important.” S~ea??h the novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    “No, mother wants to create a puppet, Alice, who can exist like a normal life.

    Father is just a tool, so Alice is the most important.”

    “…”

    Looking at the puppets who had started to argue, Zhou Tian was taken aback.

    However, he was hopeful again about how to negotiate with the puppet maker a second time.
