Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from these people, the middle-aged steward smiled helplessly: "Everyone, please calm down and listen to my explanation."
He knew that although Weige was the leader in the local intelligence industry, its strength was limited to its intelligence capabilities. As for military force, it was not bad at best. Compared with the configuration of monsters per capita like Lin Yi and others, it was obviously not good enough. of.
After all, Jianghai College is now targeting god-level colleges. Even if it does not join the college alliance in the end, there is still no doubt about its strength.
Even if there are many powerful people in the Kingdom of God on land, not just any local force can compare with the god-level academy.
The only one that can compete with a divine college is another divine college.
This is common sense in the Kingdom of God on land.
Lin Yi sat down leisurely: "Tell me about it."
The middle-aged manager explained sternly: "Actually, the price given by our boss for this information is one thousand divine crystals."
One thousand divine crystals is equivalent to 100 million top grade spiritual jade.
Although there are suspicions of robbing people, it is not that exaggerated. Considering the importance of this information, Lin Yi may not accept it.
With the foundation of Jianghai Academy, it is not difficult to come up with 100 million top-grade spiritual jade. We have made sufficient financial preparations before coming this time, so that we will not be unable to come up with this.
"But this morning, a special guest came, and he bought out this information with 10,000 divine crystals."
The middle-aged manager continued to explain: "According to our Zhiweige rules, once the information is bought out, it cannot be sold to a third party unless it is at the same buyout price."
Lin Yi and the others suddenly realized: "If you are rich and powerful, you are going to use the divine crystal to crush people to death. Can you tell me who bought it out?"
"Sorry, this is guest privacy and we have no right to disclose it."
The middle-aged steward showed a stylized apology and asked: "What do you think? If you are not satisfied, I can provide some information on the transfer of ownership. Although it is not as detailed and direct as this information, it still has a lot of reference value. And the price is negotiable.”
"It doesn't matter if the information is changed hands, it doesn't mean much."
Lin Yi refused on the spot.
If you have enough time, it's not impossible to get some roundabout information about the change of hands. As long as you analyze it carefully, you can indeed dig out some useful information.
But the problem is, you have to select people in three days, so how can you have time to do this kind of slow work and meticulous work?
The middle-aged steward was not surprised by this and stood up to see off the guests with a look of regret.
Business cannot be done without benevolence and righteousness. With his eyesight, he can naturally see the importance of Lin Yi and others. No matter whether the transaction is successful or not, he must show his attitude. This is also the minimum professional quality when opening a business.
But when she was approaching the door, the little girl suddenly exclaimed: "Grandma!"
Everyone looked at the sound and saw that the old woman who had been helped up by the little girl was standing at the door with surprise. She was also surprised and happy when she saw the little girl running over.
The middle-aged steward was more surprised than everyone else: "Do you know my mother?"
"More than just knowing each other, Xian'er, they are my benefactors!"
The old woman quickly introduced the ins and outs of what happened in the teleportation array before, and took the little girl and said gratefully: "If they hadn't helped me, Xian'er, you might not have been able to see my mother."
These words are by no means alarmist. Given the situation at that time, if the Queen hadn't taken action and allowed the collective aura of the fanatical fans to crush her, even if the old woman was lucky enough to survive, she would have at least been seriously injured.
"There is such a thing!"
The middle-aged steward's face turned pale.
Although he is in an intelligence agency like Zhiweige, he should be able to see everything in the eyes of outsiders, especially things that are under the nose and related to his own mother. It is really unreasonable to say that he is not aware of it.
But in fact, as a steward, his authority in Zhiweige is quite limited. Except for some corresponding information within the scope of his authority, he is just like an ordinary person in other matters and cannot interfere at all.
Even for the information that was traded through his hands, he was unable to know the specific content, only a general outline.
Without him, this is the internal check and balance of Zhiweige.
The bigger the intelligence agency, the more stringent it is in protecting intelligence, both to outsiders and even more to internal personnel.
The middle-aged steward quickly bowed deeply to Lin Yi and the others: "Thank you all for your help. Zhao Xian bursts into tears with gratitude. There were so many mistakes just now. I am really ashamed and ashamed."
The queen couldn't help but laugh playfully: "It seems that the fight just now was not in vain. There have been twists and turns. Can the information be sold to us cheaper now?"
The middle-aged manager named Zhao Xian was very embarrassed. He held up his hands with a look of shame on his face and said: "Zhao Xian is incompetent. I really dare not violate the rules set by the cabinet master. The price of that information is not within my scope of authority. I am really powerless."
.”
The queen was speechless: "Even if I didn't say anything, saving her would still mean not saving her."
Everyone was also a little disappointed.
With their eyesight, they could naturally see that Zhao Xian's gratitude was not pretended, but showed his true feelings. They thought that with this relationship, it would be at least a little different, but they didn't expect that it was still business.
Lin Yi was not disappointed. He smiled and comforted the other party: "Brother Zhao, there is no need to have any psychological burden. Since we are here to buy information, we must naturally follow the rules. I understand."
"Thank you so much for your understanding."
Zhao Xian became increasingly grateful. After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, "Actually, that person not only bought out my Zhiweige intelligence, he also bought out similar intelligence from other large local mainstream intelligence agencies."
"..."
Lin Yi couldn't help but be surprised: "Buy them all together? Such a big deal?"
If it were just to buy out the Zhiweige family, it would be a big deal, but it would still be understandable. But to buy out all the mainstream intelligence agencies at once would be a bit exaggerated.
Although new information is important, it is not to the point where relying on just one piece of information can directly determine the final outcome.
When the other party did this, it was obvious that he was so wealthy that he no longer regarded money as money, and would use money to beat people to death.
"So, we still have to pay the sky-high price of 10,000 divine crystals?"
Lin Yi shook his head and laughed.
It's not like he can't afford ten thousand divine crystals, but the problem is that this is just the beginning. After that, there will be more places to spend money. Even with the foundation of Jianghai Academy, it can't afford such unscrupulous burning of money.
Zhao Xian said sternly in a low voice: "If my benefactor can trust me, please don't spend this unjust money now. It's dinner time now, why don't you let me serve as the host and go to the Yushan Tower to have something to eat first, so that we, mother and son, can talk about our feelings."
.”
Lin Yi and Xu Anshan looked at each other and then nodded: "Since it is Brother Zhao's wish, then we should be respectful and obey him."
