My Level Zero System
Chapter 229 - 229: Negotiation

"Perhaps you are thinking that, Kain?"

Faith murmured, her eyes focused on the door.

His teammates saw his eyes and felt confused, because they did not know who Faith was waiting for.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

The others were startled and looked warily towards the door.

Only Faith raised her hand, signaling there was no need to panic, for this was exactly what he had been waiting for.

"Selena, go open the door for the guests."

Selena, the girl who had quarreled with Mera on the train to the academy, was now fearfully following Faith's orders and going to open the door.

What caught Selena's eyes was a tall figure with beautiful silver hair hanging down. A young man with a noble and somewhat divine beauty, but his golden pupils made Selena feel cold to the bone.

Kain.

What is he doing here?

Selena paused for a moment, but Kain ignored her and walked inside.

The rest of Faith's team also showed looks of surprise, obviously they all didn't know why Kain came here, however, on Faith's lips was still the familiar smile as proof that he had predicted this.

"Well well well, Kain, what brings you here?"

Faith laughed and said, while Kain sat down on the chair opposite without any courtesy.

"You know, why do you still ask?"

He sat down on the chair, arms crossed over his chest, golden pupils staring at Faith without hesitation.

"I want an alliance."

"Oh, this request. So you've thought of that too."

"Of course, we need to be one step ahead. Although the other two teams may not have people like us, it's not too difficult to guess that the other factions also have similar advantages."

"You're right, this is an independent dimension after all, there's no chance of cheating."

The people around listened to Kain and Faith's conversation as if they were in a fog, unable to understand anything. Although they understood what the alliance meant, both Kain and Faith spoke in a very half-hearted manner, as if only the two of them understood.

"If we are allies now, then we should share some things."

Faith laughed, Kain remained silent, showing no objection.

Seeing that, Faith said.

"Okay, now we should also tell each other about our team's advantages, right?"

"...you can say it first."

Kain waved his hand in invitation. But Faith wagged her finger.

"No no, isn't this too unfair to us? You're the one who came all the way here to propose an alliance, so you should be the one to show your sincerity first."

Kain was silent, his head slightly lowered, his gaze also leaving Faith in front of him, as if he was hesitating and thinking.

But in his mind, these things were all within Kain's plans.

It was all because Kain needed a reasonable situation to tell Faith his team's advantage without making Faith feel like this was a trap. That was what he wanted Faith to feel.

If he could easily hand over his team's existing advantage now, even ordinary people would doubt the authenticity of this information.

"Alright."

Kain sighed, acting as if he had just gone through an internal struggle.

Then he stopped talking again, glancing at the people around the room.

Faith understood what he meant, signaling that it was nothing.

"These people are all my people, they won't mess around."

"Then there is no problem."

Kain continued, then said.

"The thing inside the box that my team received were inlaid stone slabs, which can be attached to the designated object to control the target. Of course, the target that these inlaid stone slabs are attached to is not a human, but another weapon, the reason is probably understandable, right?"

"Yeah, that makes sense."

What Faith considered "make sense" was of course the advantage he had revealed, of course, whether Faith believed that or not was uncertain.

"What a coincidence, because what our team received was a map marking the location of something called... Golem."

"Golem? [Earth Golem]?"

"No, it's a special type, its combat power is roughly comparable to a mid-class Magus. The quantity is five, the reason is probably understandable, right?"

"Yeah, that makes sense."

Kain repeated exactly what Faith had just said.

The advantage that Faith revealed to him completely adhered to the advantage he had revealed before.

The number of five Golems was also very reasonable, equal to the number of members in a team. This was also very reasonable, because the team that gained this advantage was no different from getting unconditional help from another team.

Double the force.

It all fits, even with Kain's previous guess.

But whether this was just something Faith made up or whether he really had that advantage was uncertain.

But to Kain, whether this was true or not did not matter much, for he had already made his move.

Regardless of whether Faith was lying or not, once he learned about Kain's inlay stones, he would definitely want to make good use of that information.

Here, that means he will fetch the real map, in case he doesn't have one.

If there really is... it can only be said to be a fortunate coincidence.

This was the chain that Kain had intentionally placed around Faith's neck.

People like Kain and Faith tend to assess situations and strategize based on information.

Based on this premise, information is like a template that they cling to, from which they can come up with directions of thinking or even decisions. And it is also a trick to be able to manipulate them.

Even though this is difficult, extremely difficult.

Take for example the placement of Elna as a spy on Kain's team. On the surface, Faith seemed to be trying hard to build this up, but regardless of Elna or her trying to prove that she wasn't a spy, it wasn't Faith's true purpose, it was all just to blind Kain from his deeper goals.

And Kain, is doing the same.
