Chapter 100: Moonlight (In honor of adrian_fufu, the alliance leader)
Emerging from the Devil’s Grand Canyon, Fang Xing pulled out his phone.
‘I deliberately showed myself here… and then disappeared for so long, those who should come should have arrived, right?’
Beep beep!
Sure enough, the next instant, his text messages and emails were flooded with notifications.
These included greetings from classmates and some meaningless advertisements, as well as some very important emails.
For example… recruitment offers from various forces, and contact requests from university professors.
“For now, I’m only considering special admissions from top-tier universities; the rest are unnecessary…”
“As for contracts, I need to compare the terms one by one…”
Fang Xing found a well-located restaurant, enjoying the colorful aurora above the canyon while dining and checking emails, responding one by one.
“Regarding schools, several top-tier universities are willing to give me a chance. I’ll arrange meetings through the school after the start of the semester…”
“This ‘Gemstone Academy’ is quite sincere; they’ve already sent a teacher who tracked me all the way to the Devil’s Grand Canyon…”
Fang Xing checked and found that Gemstone Academy was a second-tier institution, but a very good one among its peers, currently striving to become a top-tier university. Therefore, they were very keen on cultivating talented individuals and achieving various awards and honors.
“Unfortunately, it’s not suitable for me… If it were a special admission from a top-tier university, I’d accept immediately…”
He sighed and continued his leisurely meal.
“As for those consortiums and other forces… currently, three have sent representatives: Green God Group, Shadow Dragon Group, and the Blue Star Mercenary Alliance. Their sincerity is apparent.”
“Besides that, many have sent contract templates. I can contact them if I want to sign…”
Fang Xing looked them over one by one.
These forces wanted to sponsor him, and it didn’t much matter which university he eventually attended.
However, some might have attached conditions.
Therefore, university special admissions and these forces’ contracts were two separate matters.
Fang Xing first determined that he wasn’t interested in university special admissions; he would at most inquire about the intentions and conditions of top-tier universities at the start of the semester.
Currently, what needed his attention were the recruitment offers from these consortiums and forces.
“Contracts… they all seem similar; basically, they offer several million Star Coins annually, then stipulate a return after graduation for a certain number of years, and require joining a certain force, etc…”
“Hmm, there are some special resources, like ‘Kunpeng Blood,’ but they also set corresponding conditions, either requiring admission to a certain university or achieving a certain goal… otherwise, you have to pay a penalty for breach of contract…”
To be honest, Fang Xing didn’t like any of them.
After all, he wasn’t a truly impoverished bio-engineered human; he had the resources of a whole world backing him.
Not to mention, just the Spirit Rice and monster meat he’d eaten in this period were far superior to any high-grade nutrient solution.
‘These conditions… are all scams.’
‘How do I refuse? Hmm… should I act selfish or arrogant?’
Fang Xing stroked his chin.
There’s a saying: Investment is about investing in people!
The Star Coins of these large forces weren’t blown in by the wind; investment certainly requires a return.
But what large force would invest in a selfish person?
Isn’t that inviting a time bomb into your own organization?
It must be said that even bad people like to make friends with good people, and even hope that the world is full of good people, with only themselves as the bad one!
After finishing his meal, Fang Xing ordered a drink and savored it slowly.
Just then, a young man carrying red wine approached: “Are you Fang Xing? I’m Liang Yucheng from the Green God Group!”
“Hello. Please sit…”
Fang Xing responded politely. They had already found him, yet waited until he finished his meal to discuss business; they were very polite.
As the saying goes, you don’t hit someone who is smiling at you, so he naturally acted courteously.
“Thank you!”
Liang Yucheng sat down and said with a wry smile: “Fang Xing, you made me wait a long time. Have you read the contract from our Green God Group? I’m specifically here to discuss this matter. If you’re dissatisfied with anything, just say so. I can modify it on the spot within my authority… If I can’t decide, I’ll report it immediately.”
“I’ve heard of the Green God Group’s reputation…”
Fang Xing offered a few polite remarks.
“Six million Star Coins annually is indeed a bit low…” Just then, another voice chimed in.
A waiter led a Caucasian man in a black suit to the table.
“Sir, your bill has been paid by this gentleman.” The waiter gestured to Wright, indicating that he’d paid the bill.
“Paying for my meal? That’s too much…”
Fang Xing politely stood up: “Please, have a seat.”
“Let me introduce myself, I’m Wright from the Shadow Dragon Group… Our group is a military enterprise with extensive connections and influence in the Federation’s political circles…”
Wright adjusted his bow tie, glancing at Liang Yucheng: “Green God Group only offers six million Star Coins annually; they completely underestimate Fang Xing’s value… Our Shadow Dragon Group is willing to offer an A-level contract, with an annual allowance and resources of ten million Star Coins. Fang Xing, you are exceptionally gifted; you’ve cultivated to this level with minimal resources. With more resources, you can undoubtedly aim for a top-tier university.”
Liang Yucheng frowned, feeling that his company had a commercial spy; even their offer had been leaked to an outsider. However, he still said: “Star Coins are only the most basic clause… Our Green God Group is a pharmaceutical giant; our high-grade nutrient solutions, even top-grade ones, are of the best quality, incomparable to those on the market… If Fang Xing is willing to join, I can provide some truly cutting-edge products…”
“Oh? Besides nutrient solutions, are there any special cultivation resources?”
Fang Xing held his straw, finishing his drink: “For example, I’m already at the Brave Warrior Realm… In the future, comprehending a realm will be a matter of course. Does the Green God Group have any medicinal resources to help break through to the next realm, or even to the Golden Core stage?”
“This…”
Liang Yucheng was speechless.
Nutritional supplements for daily martial arts training were one thing, but special resources for breakthroughs in major realms were very rare.
Especially those aiding the breakthrough from the Brave Warrior Realm to the next realm; even he had difficulty obtaining them.
As for Golden Core resources?
That was simply wishful thinking.
‘It seems this genius is ultimately from a commoner background, his vision is narrow… and he’s greedy, likely an insatiable ingrate.’
Liang Yucheng felt a little hesitant.
He had interacted with several geniuses before; which one hadn’t treated him with utmost respect when discussing contracts?
It was truly rare to encounter one who dared to ask for Golden Core resources right off the bat.
Wright’s eyes flickered, unsure of what he was thinking, but he also lowered his assessment of Fang Xing.
To obtain such top-tier resources, you’d at least have to join a large force, then perform exceptionally well to be competitive, right?
Asking for them right away was rather clueless.
‘This Fang Xing… will never know what he’s missing…’
‘Without resources, even the most talented martial artist will become useless…’
Liang Yucheng and Wright exchanged glances, just about to get up, when they suddenly looked towards the outside with changed expressions.
“Hmm?”
Fang Xing also looked over and saw that above the sky of colorful aurora, a flying vehicle was piercing through the clouds!
‘Isn’t this a magnetic field disturbance zone?’
‘No, it’s not deep inside the canyon, it won’t be greatly affected… but flying is also dangerous, unless it’s one of the most advanced flying vehicles or a military anti-interference model?’
Fang Xing’s expression shifted, realizing that an important figure had arrived.
“It seems to be a private aircraft.”
Liang Yucheng stared at the flying vehicle, his expression becoming quite serious.
That flying vehicle was much smaller than the Azure Falls craft Fang Xing had ridden in; it had azure armor resembling the ocean. It now hovered above the restaurant and suddenly projected a beam of light!
Buzz!
A figure slowly descended from the light beam.
This figure was wearing a short business suit, revealing a large expanse of fair and smooth skin, with a curvaceous figure and a shapely peach-shaped bottom.
More importantly… Fang Xing was very familiar with her!
“Fang Xing, it’s finally a real meeting.”
The professional woman walked into the restaurant, came before Fang Xing, showed a slight smile, and offered her hand.
“You’re really… Teacher Lan Fei?”
Fang Xing shook Teacher Lan Fei’s hand; the delicate and real feel of her skin told him that this was not a projection, but a real person!
‘If Liu Wei from before knew I shook hands with the real Lan Fei, he’d probably be so envious and jealous he’d bash his head against a wall…’
His thoughts raced, but a smile appeared on his face: “Teacher Lan Fei, what’s the matter?”
“That’s it, I was just hired by the Jushen Corporation to become a staff member; this time, I’m responsible for contacting you…”
Teacher Lan Fei smiled: “Mr. Yin Zhenzhen from the corporation has already arrived and is waiting for you in the flying vehicle…”
“It’s actually the Jushen Corporation?”
Liang Yucheng and Wright exchanged glances, seeing the shock in each other’s eyes.
Although their two companies were considered giants in the Federation, they were insignificant compared to the Jushen Corporation.
“Oh? Then please lead the way, Teacher.”
Fang Xing wiped his mouth with a napkin and casually stood up.
In his heart, however, he was somewhat surprised:
‘The real Lan Fei should be an educator, capable of multitasking and teaching many classes… she’s probably a Fourth Realm martial artist.’
‘She could be hired by Yucai High School, and her royalties alone must be substantial… yet she was brought here as a negotiator?’
‘From learning about me to taking action to recruit me, it was decisive… and she also demonstrated terrifying power and network of connections!’
Fang Xing was secretly amazed.
This Yin Zhenzhen was clearly at a much higher level than Liang Yucheng and the others.
‘An ordinary beauty trick is just a beautiful woman using seduction… A true beauty trick is to send the moonlight you can never get to you… Today was really an eye-opening experience, I’ve received a lesson from a true top-tier figure in the Federation.’
He muttered to himself and followed Lan Fei to the azure flying vehicle.
A radiant light enveloped him, accompanied by a feeling of being lifted.
Fang Xing’s vision flashed, and when he regained his senses, he was already in an office.
A young man with silver hair and a youthful face was engrossed in playing a game.
“Wait a moment…”
The young man remained focused, without looking up.
A voice that made one’s heart race was coming from his phone.
‘Huh? It’s an adult game?’
Fang Xing’s eyes lit up; he felt like he’d found a fellow enthusiast.
Just hearing the voice, he instantly guessed which voice actress’ masterpiece it was and identified the game’s name.
A few minutes later, the young man finally finished the game and looked up.
He had delicate features, abnormally pale skin, and eyes that held a hint of world-weariness.
“Fang Xing, Aquila Star bio-engineered human, ID number…”
Yin Zhenzhen recited Fang Xing’s basic information: “He showed outstanding performance in high school, topping the final exams… in his second year, he ranked third in the Hundred Star Joint Examination… He’s quite talented. Our company has prepared an S-level contract for you. Would you like to learn about it?”
“Please do…”
Fang Xing gestured invitingly.
Yin Zhenzhen nodded, and Lan Fei explained: “The S-level contract is tailor-made by our Jushen Corporation for top-tier geniuses. You’ll receive an annual allowance of twenty million Star Coins, along with various rare resources, such as ‘Yuanguo Liquid,’ which benefits breakthroughs to the next realm…”
“The next realm has never been a challenge for me…”
Fang Xing stood tall and proud, absolute confidence in his eyes: “What about Golden Core resources? Do you have any?”
“Haha… That’s bold, I like it!”
Yin Zhenzhen looked at Fang Xing with some surprise, then showed a slight smile: “A Golden Core martial artist is a top-tier figure anywhere, but if you can get into a top-tier university, I believe the Jushen Corporation is willing to provide these resources.”
“Good, what’s the price?”
Fang Xing took a deep breath.
With such generous terms, the price must be extraordinary.
“This contract is actually a gamble. If you don’t get into a top-tier university, the contract is immediately void, and you have to compensate me double for my previous investment…”
Yin Zhenzhen’s face showed a playful smile: “How about it? Feeling pressured?”
“Then?”
Fang Xing remained unmoved; he never thought he would fail.
“I forgot to mention, you can only apply to Blue Star University, because I’ll be applying there too.”
Yin Zhenzhen’s smile widened: “Once we’re at university, you have an obligation to assist me with matters… don’t worry, it won’t violate school rules.”
“I need to consider this carefully…”
Fang Xing’s eyes were deep, feeling that this was similar to the ancient practice of taking on a servant boy.
Or even… a death squad member?!
“Of course, but I believe no one will offer you better conditions.” Yin Zhenzhen clapped his hands: “In the Federation, if martial artists want to advance, to break through to the Diamond or even Martial God level… they can’t do without top-tier special resources… Well, while you’re considering, Lan Fei will stay with you, acting as our liaison, and she can also be your secretary and housekeeper…”
He waved his hand, clearly ready to start another game.
After Fang Xing left, Yin Zhenzhen immediately started another game and piloted the flying vehicle away from the Devil’s Grand Canyon.
Half an hour later, a communication request came in, revealing a middle-aged man with graying temples.
“Zhenzhen, how did it go?”
He looked at Yin Zhenzhen with a concerned expression.
“I’ve scouted eighty-seven planets, checking out some geniuses…”
Yin Zhenzhen was still playing his game, but he was also multitasking, talking: “I’ve signed three S-class seeds; hopefully, they’ll all get into Blue Star University.”
“So fast? You must know, this is your future team… You might even go to war together, so you must be cautious.”
The middle-aged man said.
“Relax, I know what I’m doing, don’t disturb my game…”
Yin Zhenzhen impatiently waved his hand, the adult game’s sound suddenly rising in pitch.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth…
