Strictly speaking, it wasn't that he had come to an agreement with that country, but rather with Liu Yueyan.
After much thought, Lin Tian finally agreed. He expressed his willingness to provide them with Golden Apples, and even a small number of enchanted weapons or armor, but the condition was that they had to give him one of every type of weapon they had, including newly developed ones.
Moreover, they also had to protect Liu Yueyan's family and ensure no harm came to them.
The officials on their side naturally agreed. It was another world, after all. What did their weapons have to do with them? They would even give him some core data if he asked for it. As long as their own world didn't find out, it was fine.
Besides, they couldn't even analyze the Golden Apples. Even if they were to be auctioned off later, it wouldn't matter. In short, they had actually come out ahead.
Lin Tian, of course, knew that these weapons wouldn't be of much help to him. He wasn't trying to be greedy; it was just to give them an excuse to take his offer. Liu Yueyan's value was far greater than theirs!
When Liu Yueyan found out it was Lin Tian's request, she was so moved she almost cried. No one had ever been so good to her since she was born (aside from her parents).
She immediately spammed him with private messages to thank him. Lin Tian didn't mind. He was only doing it for himself anyway. It wouldn't kill him to help out with such a small matter.
And besides, was there a problem with helping such a legal-age girl with a loli figure? Weren't they all group members?
(Lin Tian: 'I'm really not just after the white stockings, really!')
In summary, Lin Tian and they had come to an agreement, and both sides felt they had gotten the better end of the deal.
......
"Wahoo~!" A pink figure swooped down from the sky, landing precisely in front of Lin Tian.
"Hehe, this is so much fun!" Mitsuri Kanroji's face was full of excitement. She had never flown like this before!
"Sister Mitsuri! Sister Shinobu! Brother Lin Tian!" Another figure flew down. Aoi Kanzaki, also with an excited face, landed beside Lin Tian.
"Slow down, don't fall," Shinobu Kocho, standing at Lin Tian's side, said to Aoi.
"It's fine! I know how to fly now!" Aoi said with a confident expression.
"You have the nerve to say that. I wonder who it was last time that took a firework and charged straight for the ground. If there hadn't been water there, you might have gotten hurt!" Lin Tian said helplessly, looking at the mischievous Aoi.
The last time Aoi almost got into an accident, it had scared him to death. If he hadn't known that she had a Totem of Undying, and that she was just unfamiliar with flying, he would have absolutely forbidden her from using an Elytra again.
"Last time was an accident! I wasn't skilled back then. I just need to fly a few more times!" Aoi was all smiles. They had already become familiar with Lin Tian, so they dared to joke around with him freely.
Seeing Aoi like this, Lin Tian was helpless and could only reach out and tap her on the head.
Aoi didn't dodge. It didn't hurt anyway!
"Alright, let's get down to business. It's time to go to the Nether today."
Lin Tian's expression turned serious. A week had passed, and they had all familiarized themselves with this world. It was time to go to the Nether!
Hearing Lin Tian's words, the girls also became serious.
The Nether! They had only ever heard about it. The portal was even on the balcony of the second floor of Lin Tian's house, but they had only heard about it and had never been there themselves.
Now, they could finally go and see it for themselves!
After having seen the monsters of this world, everyone was actually a little nervous. Some of the monsters were indeed very scary, but they had heard that the monsters in the Nether were even scarier!
But in the end, curiosity won over fear. Everyone present raised their hands.
"We all want to go!"
Lin Tian raised his hand and gestured for everyone to calm down first, then said, "I'll take you all there. If anyone can't stand it, it's not too late to come back. But the three little ones will have to sit this one out. They aren't suited for combat."
The girls present nodded. Indeed, the three little ones were not needed for combat; they could handle it.
"Then I'll go get Kanao first." As he spoke, Lin Tian teleported to the emerald and totem farm. In front of him, a young girl was standing guard. She was holding a sword and was in the middle of killing the Vindicators and Evokers that were falling down.
"Kanao." Lin Tian walked to the girl's side and called out.
Hearing him, Kanao stopped what she was doing and turned to look at the person who had arrived.
"Lord Lin Tian, what brings you here?" Kanao Tsuyuri asked with confusion.
"I've told you, just call me Lin Tian. There's no need to add 'Lord'."
Lin Tian said helplessly. He just couldn't correct this girl's habit.
"I came this time mainly for the trip to the Nether."
Lin Tian's expression turned serious as he spoke to Kanao.
Hearing this, Kanao's eyes lit up and she asked, "Do you need me to help you?"
"That's right. I plan to take you, Mitsuri, Nezuko, Shinobu, and Aoi with me."
Lin Tian listed the people he was planning to take.
"Nezuko?"
Hearing that Nezuko was also going, Kanao looked at Lin Tian with confusion.
Lin Tian naturally understood her meaning and said helplessly, "I have no choice. She insisted that I take her. What can I do? And her strength is not weak either. Don't underestimate her."
He remembered a time before when Nezuko had suddenly turned into an adult. Her height and bust size were almost on par with Mitsuri Kanroji's! She was even a little taller than her!
At the time, it had completely stunned Mitsuri, who from then on acknowledged that Nezuko was indeed qualified to be her rival. And Nezuko could be big or small, mature or cute. She was truly a strong opponent!
It was just a pity that Nezuko's form didn't last for even three minutes before it faded. Maybe she ran out of stamina?
Kanao nodded and said no more. She couldn't control other people's thoughts.
"Let's go." Seeing Kanao nod, Lin Tian also came to her side and took her hand.
A flash of light passed, and the two vanished from the spot. The next moment, they reappeared in front of Mitsuri and the others.
This was a new discovery of his: Set-Point Teleportation could actually bring people along! This was a very good feature.
"Everyone, get ready. Bring everything you need to bring, and arrange everything that needs to be arranged. After that, we'll prepare to go to the Nether!"
Lin Tian said to the girls.
"By the way, everyone, prepare at least 5 or more Totems of Undying. If you don't have enough, just ask me for them!"
Hearing this, the girls nodded and each went back to their rooms to prepare.
Lin Tian also prepared a few Potions of Fire Resistance, and at the same time, brought a few enchanted swords, Enchanted Golden Apples, and the like.
As he was packing, Lin Tian's inventory was almost full.
"Looks like I'll have to go to the End to kill some Shulkers. Shulker boxes are very useful things too."
Lin Tian muttered to himself, but his hands didn't stop. He didn't need to leave that many slots open anyway. The primary task of this trip to the Nether was to obtain Wither Skeleton Skulls. The secondary task was to let the girls see the environment of the Nether so they could get used to it.
After about 25 minutes, the six of them gathered in front of the Nether Portal.
"Everyone, are you all ready?"
"Ready!" the five replied.
"Alright, then let's set off for the Nether!"
