Chapter 80 Luo Sha’s Little Thoughts, Scorpion Meets Iron Man (4 more) (Ch 80)

“Huh…Finally, it’s over…”
In the inn where the Sand Village delegation was staying, Luo Sha returned very tired. He looked a little listless, but there was excitement in his eyes.
Because the illusion game deal with Konoha was finally reached.
Although both parties agreed to the general direction of the transaction on the second day after meeting with Sarutobi Hiruzen, the specific details of the transaction still needed to be discussed slowly, and this kind of negotiation was really tiring.
In the past few days, Rasa and his two deputies have been conducting long and laborious negotiations with the Konoha side, led by members of the Nara family.
Both sides are really very penny-grabbing and are trying to get every bit of benefit. On the Konoha side, it’s all about political achievements, so even the people from the Nara family have to work harder. On the other hand, the Sand Village is simply poor, so they have to fight for every bit of benefit and get the greatest result at the lowest cost.
Although the final result did not meet Luo Sha’s maximum requirements, it was not a costly one.
The main thing is that for Konoha, it is just a matter of how much profit they can make, so when the results were similar in the end, Sarutobi Hiruzen agreed directly – the Third Hokage always remembered that in the promotion plan for the illusion game provided by Uchiha Kei, it was emphasized that in the development period, occupying the market is more important than making money, because as long as the market is occupied, greater benefits will be gained in the future.
Although he didn’t know much about business matters, the think tank said that the plan’s approach of prioritizing market capture was the right one, so Sarutobi Hiruzen did just that.
For Rasa, this negotiation was more tiring than a fight, but fortunately the result was satisfactory. The Sand Village finally obtained the right to purchase the illusion game, and it was the uncut version, but the price was three times more expensive than that sold in Konoha, and the quantity that could be imported was limited. The Sand Village also had to allow the Konoha Game Chamber of Commerce to open a game hall in the Wind Country and provide protection to prevent the game hall from being destroyed.
However, the game hall will also pay mercenary fees to the Sand Village ninjas who serve as escorts, which can be considered a mercenary mission.
In Luo Sha’s opinion, the conditions behind this were quite generous. He was prepared for Konoha to ask their people to work as guards for free. As a result, the Konoha Game Chamber of Commerce was willing to pay for formal employment. This was definitely good news for the Sand Village, and it could solve some employment problems to a certain extent.
Yes, the poor Sand Village has actually always been troubled by employment problems. After all, as the weakest village, it has never been favored by those who issue tasks, so that there are very few tasks that the Sand Village can accept, which has created employment difficulties for ordinary ninjas.
If Konoha’s game halls could follow formal procedures and hire Sand Village ninjas as security guards, it would undoubtedly solve many employment problems.
Although most of the land of the Wind Kingdom is sand, there are still a few cities where game halls can be opened. If we calculate that each game hall employs ten Sand Ninjas, it can solve the employment problems of dozens of people.
Moreover, the Sand Village could simply run these vacancies in shifts to solve more employment problems – for the Sand Village ninjas who are so poor that the only thing worth commending is their spirit of hard work, getting little money is really not a problem, as long as there is a job.
After breathing a sigh of relief, Luo Sha was about to tell others the good news, but he found that most of the delegation were not in the hotel, which was very confusing.
Normally, Luo Sha would come back very late because of negotiations. After all, the ninja world that inherited Japanese culture also had the traditional social culture of “eating and drinking with clients”.
After completing the negotiations today, Luo Sha returned to the hotel early, only to find that no one was there.
After asking the few people who stayed behind, Luo Sha found out that most of them were taken by Scorpion to the game hall to play games.
Suddenly, Luo Sha’s face darkened.
Damn, I worked so hard to negotiate with Konoha, but these guys just went out to play and even spent the delegation’s activity funds. This is really too much!
Especially that guy Scorpion, who is obviously the second in command of the delegation, but he actually brought a large group of people to play games at public expense. It is simply insane and intolerable.
Although it has been confirmed that illusion games are beneficial to ninjas, Luo Sha has also gained some understanding of illusion games these days. He knows that the games in the game halls are all castrated and have little effect on ninjas. Their greater use is for entertainment. It is a pure waste of money for ninjas to play them.
If one wanted to investigate something like this, a ninja would only need two or three days. However, Scorpion went there every day, and stayed there for a whole day at a time, and he brought a large group of people with him.
grass!
What does Scorpion want to do? Does he want to drag down the entire elite group of Sand Village with him?
For a moment, Luo Sha’s face turned dark. He had accumulated a lot of resentment over the past few days. Now, seeing what Scorpion did, all the resentment was immediately transferred to Scorpion.
Because the leader of the delegation, Luo Sha, suppressed his emotions, the atmosphere of the entire delegation became very depressing. Those who stayed behind were very cautious, fearing that they would anger Luo Sha, who was on the verge of a volcanic eruption.
Time just kept passing by, and Luo Sha’s anger not only did not subside with the passage of time, but became more and more intense.
Because this man kept watching the time, wanting to see when Scorpion would bring people back – he also forbade others to notify, so that everyone had to wait in the hotel, causing others to suffer a miserable day.
So, Luosha and a group of Sand Village ninjas waited until after seven o’clock in the evening, when Scorpion returned with a large group of Sand Village ninjas who were still not satisfied, did not want to come back, and were still discussing the content of the game.
That kind of face gave people the feeling of those ghost-fire teenagers who lingered in Internet cafes and game halls on Earth returning home.
Then, he saw Luo Sha sitting at the door of the room with a cold expression.
In an instant, the originally relaxed and happy atmosphere disappeared, and the atmosphere became depressing and tense.
The group of Sand Ninjas who ran out to play all felt unsteady in their hands and feet, and had a sense of panic as if they were caught doing bad things as a child and were uncomfortable all over.
Only Scorpion remained calm and asked, “What’s wrong? Senior Luosha, you are sitting here. Do you want to tell us something?”
This calm attitude directly irritated Luo Sha, and he could no longer suppress his anger. He stood up and said sternly: “You’re still asking me? How dare you ask me? Scorpion, do you know what you are doing? You actually brought so many people to play an illusion game together, are you crazy?”
Being yelled at like this, Scorpion frowned slightly, and glanced at Luo Sha’s fiery eyes with his cold eyes: “Any questions? I am taking everyone to understand the situation in the illusion game and conduct an in-depth investigation.”
Luo Sha: “Investigate? Does this kind of thing need to be investigated like this? We can find out what’s in the illusion game with just a little research. Why do we need a large group of people to play it?”
“Scorpion, don’t tell me you can’t tell that those illusion games released to the public are all censored versions. They are not very useful to us ninjas, and are mostly used for entertainment!”
“For something like this, you still need to go out early and come back late to investigate? You need to bring a group of people to investigate? What a joke! You are just wasting your time!”
“Scorpion! You are simply dereliction of duty!”
Then he burst into a roar, leaving everyone at the scene so silent that you could hear a pin drop.
Then, Luo Sha seemed to realize that he had lost his composure. He took a few deep breaths and said in a deep voice, “I will report this matter to Master Fengying truthfully. Master Fengying will make the final decision.”
After saying that, Luo Sha returned to his room.
Seeing this, the others returned to their houses. Only a few people came forward to comfort Scorpion, and then they all returned to their rooms.
Scorpion remained silent throughout, and finally returned to his room in silence, leaving behind a comment.
“boring……”
Yes, boring, very boring.
Although Scorpio is young, he is not stupid. He can even be said to be very sharp in some aspects.
For example, Luo Sha’s behavior of losing his temper in public was actually largely acting. It was just a means to damage Scorpion’s reputation and to reasonably put on an eye drop in front of the Third Kazekage.
After all, the two are competitors for the position of the fourth Kazekage, and although Luo Sha hid it very well, among those who are qualified and have the potential to inherit the position of Kazekage, Luo Sha is the one who desires it the most.
If given the chance, Luo Sha naturally wouldn’t mind giving Scorpion a blow. Although his methods were not very sophisticated, they were enough for the Sand Village, which was also at a very low level.
In fact, some people in the delegation had already seen through Luo Sha’s intention, but this was a matter between the two Kazekage heirs, and it was not easy for them, the little Karami, to intervene, so they all chose to watch.
However, for Scorpion, this kind of thing is really boring, because he has never had any interest in the position of Kazekage.
Scorpion returned to the house in silence, and quietly opened the sealed scroll of “Left 4 Dead” that he had purchased, ready to play the game alone – of course, he would directly choose the levels with mechanical puppets.
However, this time, Scorpion failed to start the game. When his consciousness entered the game, he came to an endless grassland with nothing around.
Moreover, he did not transform into a game character, but came to this area in his original form.
Scorpion frowned deeply and observed the surrounding situation vigilantly. At this moment, a voice with a synthesized electronic sound sounded.
“Scorpion, the genius of the Sand Village, has unrivaled attainments in puppetry at a young age. He has the ultimate pursuit of puppetry in his heart and wants to make his puppetry an eternal art.”
“Hmm… You are indeed a boy with aspirations and ideals. So, young man with artistic talent, do you really understand what the ultimate puppetry represents?”
Hearing the sound, Scorpion suddenly turned around and looked towards the source of the sound.
When he saw the person who was speaking clearly, Scorpion was stunned, because he saw a tin man not far away, and the tin man was actually wearing an extremely exquisite red metal armor on the outside, with a “light” on the chest, and golden electronic eyes were flashing on the cold mask.
The entire iron surface is made up of countless exquisite parts that are perfectly combined to form a set of black technology creations that Scorpion thinks are ingenious and cannot be compared with the puppetry of the ninja world.
If anyone on Earth saw this scene, he would definitely exclaim – Damn, Iron Man!
