I Only Wanted A Class In The Apocalypse

Chapter 1558 The Map Problem

If it was at other times, then Iʼd prefer to stay the night lying on my back, watching such a piece of art forever.

But I got shitload of issues that wouldnʼt let me even think about doing any of that.

[Iʼm not your lackey! You do know that, right?]

”But you are the one who placed me in all this,” I evilly smirked, ”give me a reason why you wonʼt help us in such a trivial matter.”

[If itʼs trivial, why ask for my help then?]

”Because itʼs trivial to you,” I laughed, ”you can get a map, a full and detailed map by using the help of the system, right?”

[Thatʼs correct]

”Then help me out here.”

[In exchange for… What exactly?]

”Come on, for old times sake!”

[Go f*ck yourself!]

”Hahahaha! Hearing this makes you more human than anything else, hahaha!”

[This isnʼt a charity! You have to pay something to get what you need]

”But…”

[You always dealt with us on such a basis, and thereʼs nothing to make us change in such a way. Just state your price, and Iʼll see if it suits us or not]

”Why wonʼt you tell me the price you got in your mind?” I knew this dude wasnʼt bluffing or fooling around. If he mentioned a price, then he must have something ready in his mind for that.

[How about letting other races share the new world with you?]

”Not a chance!”

[Then the one hundred peace period is cancelled!]

”Screw you! No way! I wonʼt accept even this!”

[Then there is nothing we can agree on to do this deal]

”Hmm… How about this… I know you are interested in our enemies, right?”

[And?]

”How about I give you part of my loot here?”

[I can get anything I want without your help!]

”No, you donʼt get me,” I took something out of my inventory, ”there are things that you canʼt even dream to have.”

[Hmm… Interesting offer… But only one bomb wonʼt do]

I took out one of the bombs I already deactivated. These didnʼt exist in our universe, an alien presence, and it was something that no one else but me could provide.

If I tried to use the card of races fighting under the enemy, then this dude would bargain and might not agree.

As he said it, he could get anything he wanted from here. So I got to find something that even he couldnʼt get, something like this bomb.

”I can add any number of forces gained from the enemies,” I shrugged. If not for the importance and crucial role of this map at this stage, I wouldnʼt even waste my breath over this dude.

A map? A single piece of paper? It wouldnʼt work a penny at another time. And if I got enough time here, Iʼd have let my forces go all over the place and draw this map in a matter of a few weeks or even months.

But just like what Lily said, without the map at this moment, we were totally blind.

We wouldnʼt tell where our forces were from each other, which places were more important than others, which zones were strategically more important than others, which places needed more troops than others.

Without this map, fighting this war would be a hellish nightmare and a big gamble. Even if I got lots of forces and weapons, lots of preparations on my side, the enemy made sure to negate all this by all this.

And getting this map would be the missing piece, the single brilliant move that would turn over all this, turn around the entire situation, and let me and others on my side fight an advantageous battle.

With this map, weʼd regain our advantage again. And that is what made this piece of paper worth more than its weight in gold.

And that was something that dude out there knew about.

[Agreed] that dude finally accepted, [on one condition]

”I wonʼt let go of any race, no matter what, not even the Hescos!” I roared, as I already guessed what he wanted to say.

[Then add more gears and itʼll do] I felt like I fell into his trap. But I couldnʼt help it. After all, I was the one who needed his help here, desperately needed it.

”Deal!”

[Iʼm sending a contract over]

”You never did that at any of our previous agreements?!!”

[Thatʼs because these agreements were secured by the system announcements. Didnʼt you read any of the notifications I sent before?]

I rolled my eyes, feeling like this dude didnʼt trust me at all. ”It hurts!”

[What hurts?]

”You, not trusting me, it hurts!”

[You are a very dangerous man, you know that? How can I trust you?]

I laughed at his words. ”Send the contract over then,” I asked for it, and it appeared just the next instant. ”Wow! Impressive! You have a very fast hand! Hahahaha!”

[Just sign the damn thing!]

”Let me read it first,” I knew that dude already prepared the contract beforehand, ”I donʼt trust you.”

[Fair enough!]

I read the content of this contract under the shocked gazes of everyone. They saw me shout like crazy in the air, and the next moment a contract appeared.

That meant one thing, I wasnʼt talking to myself or going crazy. I was talking to someone, someone they couldnʼt see, someone who could send a contract out of thin air even if he wasnʼt here.

I knew they wouldnʼt guess the true identity of this dude. And they wouldnʼt even believe me even if I told them his identity.

The best thing they could think about right now was that I was talking to someone from a higher race, from Toranks, someone like Silverlining for example.

I didnʼt care about their gazes and started to read the content quite carefully. That dude was honest and didnʼt do any cheap tricks here or there.

”Itʼs signed,” I left my signature after reading the contract twice, ”where is my goddamn map?”
