Chapter 498: Chapter 497 Playing Dead
Dala Star.
The Human Army had arrived.
Wang Hao was holding Little White, whispering some instructions.
Upon meeting, Jian Taifeng erupted in curses, “Wang Hao, you little stinker, I just thought you’d developed a conscience and risked your life to blow up Demon Evil Star, but then you turn around and start playing the crook, are you trying to anger us to death!?”
Wang Hao curled his lip, “Stop nagging, how much are you planning to pay me to rent those five epic carriers!?”
Jian Taifeng was driven mad by fury. This kid clearly wasn’t listening to a word he said. If only he didn’t have to find out where the epic carriers were hidden, he’d give this kid’s backside a good whack to teach him some respect for his elders and betters.
Shui Yao massaged her temples, helplessly saying, “Wang Hao, we’ve already shown you a lot of face by not holding it against you for stealing the epic carriers, stop being unreasonable.”
The big shots present all nodded repeatedly, urging him in unison.
“Wang Hao, the tide of battle is currently in our favor; you can’t let petty squabbles lead to major loss.”
“Exactly, hurry up and bring out the epic carriers so we can defeat the Dark Elves sooner.”
“Wang Hao, as long as the Dark Elves are repelled, you’ll be the hero, a young hero.”
“Good kid, listen up, bring out the epic carriers, and we’ll overlook your past theft of the carriers.”
“If you like the epic carriers so much, once we defeat the Dark Elves, we’ll give them all to you, okay!?”
“…”
“Who’s being unreasonable? Who stole the epic carriers? Be careful, or I might sue you for slander.” Wang Hao was not pleased, huffing and puffing, “The ones who stole the epic carriers were clearly Guan Xinxiong and his lot. I was just outraged when I found out, so I snatched them back from them to recuperate losses for the Human Race. I can’t believe this is how you see me. Now I’m really not happy, so I’m going to raise the price.”
The crowd rolled their eyes; this guy was still as shameless as ever. They tried reasoning with him, but when that fell on deaf ears, he had the audacity to raise the price.

If Wang Tianyi hadn’t been so powerful, they really would have loved to give this kid a beating to vent their frustration—he was infuriating.
Qian Wanyang and Chen Yao, his two underlings, hung their heads, counting ants. They realized more and more that their boss was getting shameless. Now with little hope of Guan Xinxiong and his two companions returning, he was pinning all the blame on them. This was clearly intending to leave no witnesses!
Wang Tianyi stepped forward, “Haoer, in the face of national integrity, you should be thinking about what you can contribute, not what you can take.”
Wang Hao looked with distaste, “Which is why you’ve been poor all your life.”
“Cough, cough…”
Wang Tianyi was immediately choked up. He was talking about national righteousness, but this kid insisted on talking about the supremacy of money.
Wang Hao pinched Little White’s belly as if signaling something, then suddenly spat out froth, his body convulsing wildly as he fell to the ground.
“Haoer, what’s wrong with you!?” Wang Tianyi exclaimed, rushing over to check.
Zhao Yiling was also scared out of her wits, “Wang Hao, what happened to you? Don’t scare me!”
Huddled onto Wang Hao, Little White began to wail loudly, “Brother Wang Hao, don’t leave your precious bunny behind! Why put yourself through this? You knew these people wouldn’t appreciate you, yet you had to go to the Dark Elves, and look how that turned out: not only did you get poisoned, but there’s also no cure. Now you’re looking to get some money for your dad’s retirement, but these people still don’t understand you. They speak of you as if you were some sort of monster. Wuu wuu, Brother Wang Hao, you’re more wronged than Dou E…”
“Poisoned!!”
Everyone present was shocked, their hearts inexplicably filling with a deep sense of guilt.
What a good kid!
Not only did he sacrifice himself for the Human Race, but he also thought to leave some money for his old dad after death, truly a paragon of loyalty and filial piety!
Jian Taifeng stepped forward, his face serious as he said, “Given Wang Hao’s loyalty and filial piety, I agree to rent the epic starship.”
The big shots repeatedly nodded in agreement, sharing the sentiment that such a loyal and filial person must be immortalized in history, to let future generations remember what it means to love one’s nation and family.
Little White raised its head, looking absolutely heartbroken, “If you decide not to rent it later, you’re all spineless turtles.”
The big shots rolled their eyes, feeling that this rabbit was not the least bit cute.
Shui Yao frowned, sensing something was off-set wasn’t the face of a poisoned person supposed to be pale rather than rosy?
Qian Wanyang, Chen Yao, and Ling Xiao twitched at the corners of their eyes, feeling they were losing track of the pace set by this man and rabbit duo.
Still poisoned!?
When had that happened, and how come they were unaware!?
Even more wronged than Dou E!?
That was clearly more heartless than Zhou Bapi.
Zhao Yiling’s tears gushed forth instantly as she cried on top of Wang Hao, “Wang Hao, get up! As long as you get up, I’ll agree to anything…”
Little White suddenly became agitated, pointing at Wang Tianyi while crying out heart-wrenchingly, “And especially you, his old man, you’re even worse. We used to live so carefree, but ever since you came into the picture, he’s been trying to prove himself, and now he has gambled with his life…”
Wang Tianyi was moved, thinking to himself, could it be that Wang Hao’s solo mission deep into the Dark Elf tribe, blowing up the Demon Evil Star, was all just to seek his approval!?
With this thought, Wang Tianyi channelled his True Qi into Wang Hao, focused on a single thought: he must save his son. He hadn’t fulfilled his responsibilities as a father since his son was young. Now he absolutely couldn’t let anything happen to Wang Hao.
“Ding-dong, congratulations to the host for evoking unprecedented feelings of guilt in the son of Heavenly Dao, resulting in the acquisition of 2000 Heavenly Dao Destiny Value.”
Wang Hao’s eyes suddenly snapped open, and he leapt to his feet, dusting off his backside. He wore a smug smile on his face. Faking death and fabricating a little story had not only earned him Heavenly Dao Destiny Value, but it had also sealed a deal. He mentally praised his own cleverness.
The crowd was stunned; hadn’t he been on the verge of death due to poison!? Why had he suddenly recovered!?
Little White jumped onto Wang Hao’s shoulder, looking displeased, “Why did you get up? My performance wasn’t over yet.”
“What performance!?” Wang Hao scoffed, “You don’t have any acting skills at all, you know. You cried for ages without shedding a single tear.”
Little White huffed indignantly, “Who says you need tears to act? I dabbed saliva on, look, the fur at the corner of my eye is still wet…”
Qian Wanyang, Chen Yao, and Ling Xiao rubbed their temples, realizing they needed to re-evaluate the shamelessness of this man and rabbit pair.
“Hao’er, what is this…” Wang Tianyi was bewildered.
“Can’t you see I’m still busy!? Let’s talk later.” Wang Hao waved his hand, continuing to argue with Little White, “No excuses, accept that your acting was poor. You only get half the payment this time.”
Little White wouldn’t have it, stating, with a huff, “Wang Hao, you’re depriving me of my hard-earned results.”
Wang Hao snorted, “I’m paying for the performance, and that’s all you’re worth.”
The onlookers grew even more irritated, feeling they had reached their limit. They had initially thought they were dealing with a paragon of loyalty and filial piety, but it turned out he was just an unashamed scoundrel…
