Hilton admitted her mistake, but the dark-skinned man was focused on something else.
"If the force he belongs to is really that powerful, why did he come to us to buy supernatural rice and crystals?"
Hilton pondered for a moment and found a reason, "Maybe... it's not short of money?"
The dark-skinned man hesitated and shook his head, "How can someone who is not short of money be short of channels?"
Hilton replied nonchalantly, "In life, there are always one kind or another, so how can we live up to our expectations?"
The dark-skinned man glanced sideways at him, "I've heard a lot of famous quotes, are you... mentally affected?"
Hilton replied casually, "I'm glad it didn't lead to a big fight in the end. You still want to deal with him, right?"
The dark-skinned man pondered for a moment and nodded slowly, "A little bit. I didn't think much about it at first, but now I'm a little jealous."
"But, I really don't have the courage, and I don't know if there will be anyone in the organization who can't hold his breath."
Hilton could understand this feeling. He pondered for a moment and said, "Do you think he is wild?"
"Are you kidding?" the dark-skinned man smiled disdainfully, "Wild... can he know as much as this guy?"
The next night, the two came to Qu Jianlei's villa again.
This time they brought five thousand kilograms of supernatural rice, rice from the following year, and ten A-grade crystals.
Five thousand kilograms of supernatural rice is not much, but the energy fluctuations released are very noisy, so they used the talismans.
Qu Jianlei didn't show any surprise. His expression didn't change at all when he saw hundreds of bags of supernatural rice appearing in the reception room.
It is really easy for people to look down upon such a large organization if it does not even have a talisman for holding things.
The supernatural rice is sold at 30 yuan per pound, and the crystals are sold at 80,000 yuan each, for a total of 950,000 yuan.
Qu Jianlei's net worth shrank by one-third in an instant, but he was very satisfied with the price, which was much lower than on the black market.
He will not consider the cost and profit of the other party. If he cares about such trivial matters, the pattern will be too small.
Next, the two sides discussed cooperation. This time, the direction of the talks was a bit strange—formation.
This organization has an ancient book on formations in hand, which is not a divine book but an imperial text.
The ancient book is damaged, and the other party hopes that Qu Jianlei can help repair it, and then both parties will share the harvest.
The two of them did not bring books, but they still brought two pictures.
Qu Jianlei took a brief look at the remaining text and found that it was about a defensive formation.
There was too little information and he couldn't analyze anything else, so he simply shook his head and refused.
"Sorry, I don't know much about formations...otherwise I wouldn't have bought this fake "Fundamentals of Formations"."
Doesn't he want it? Really not, he is very interested in the strategy, but at times like this, he can't be too impatient.
The dark-skinned man tried his best to sell, "Even if you don't understand, there are others who can help, right?"
"A defensive array that can be built easily, as long as there are energy blocks, you can protect yourself infinitely."
"Sorry, I'm really not interested," Qu Jianlei shook his head, "Aren't all major buildings now protected?"
"There is already a finished product in reality, why do we need to repeat the research? And I really don't understand any formations."
Then why did you buy "Fundamentals of Formation"? Hilton knew it well and took the initiative to increase the price.
"The organization can provide you with some basic knowledge of formations... this kind of stuff is strictly prohibited from spreading."
Are you so kind? Qu Jianlei narrowed his eyes and vaguely sensed a hint of conspiracy.
His formations are not unreasonable at all. The protective shields of buildings, the firing of Gauss guns, etc. all have the shadow of formations.
But those are all transformed into ways that can be explained by science and technology through various high-tech means and displayed to everyone.
Now the other party actually wants to give me the knowledge of the formation. Does he want to be deeply bound?
However, this deep binding does not apply to him. Strictly speaking, he does not have a real identity in the empire.
If the matter really gets serious, he can just run away, but can he still accept the other party's blackmail?
Therefore, he can eat the sugar coating and throw the cannonball back!
A peaceful life is what Qu Jianlei yearns for, but the formation... is too tempting. This is the real metaphysics!
Moreover, he had never had any knowledge of formations on the first two planets. You can imagine how strict the barriers are.
It would be a pity if we couldn't seize such a good opportunity.
But now he can't accept it calmly, and always has to pretend to decline to hide his true psychology.
He pondered for a moment before asking, "May I know the full name of your organization?"
Taken the bait! The two A-levels across from them had expressionless faces, but they were secretly happy in their hearts.
How valuable is the knowledge of formations? If someone said they would take the initiative to show it, neither of them would believe it.
The reason why the organization can throw out such a big bait is that the panda's eyes are too high and it is too difficult to reach.
Take the question being asked now as an example. The two parties have been in contact for so long, but the other party has never asked about the name of the organization.
Some disdain is feigned, and some contempt is real contempt.
The two organizers had been talking to each other for several days, but the other party didn't ask the question until now, which shows that it was really not an act.
In view of the difficulty of contacting pandas, the organization also decided to drag people into the water first.
Now the other party has finally started asking for the name of the organization, which is a welcome step.
Hilton hesitated for a moment, then answered with a look of embarrassment.
"Ordinarily, it should be kept confidential, but cooperation must be carried out with a cooperative attitude. The whole process of the organization is an 'archaeological enthusiast'."
When Qu Jianlei heard this, he couldn't help but frown, "Why does it smell so strong of a native?"
"Tufuzi?" the dark-skinned man repeated in surprise, "What is that?"
"This is not important," Qu Jianlei shook his head, "I just want to ask, what is the purpose of you being so persistent in cooperation?"
"What purpose could it have?" Hilton smiled calmly.
He is not worried about the other party changing his mind, because this is Chi Xinguo Xinguo's conspiracy. As long as the other party has this hobby, it will be difficult to refuse.
"There are people behind Mr. Panda. We believe that with your strength, you can complete the formation soon."
"Everyone benefits from sharing resources. Isn't it a proper division of labor?"
Qu Jianlei stared at him for a while, until he looked a little embarrassed, and then spoke slowly.
"After ten or eight years, I finally said that I was unable to complete the task... Do you choose to believe it or not?"
In fact, this is still a question of gaining trust, and both parties have been struggling with this from the beginning.
But at this moment, Hilton really doesn't care about this... ten or eight years? Haha, you are really thinking long term!
Regardless of whether it has been studied or not, it has already dragged you into the water, hasn’t it?
The organization has not yet decided what to do after dragging the other party into the water.
The strength of the other party cannot be underestimated. In future contacts, we should take it one step at a time, and first get to know him slowly.
Of course, he couldn't answer so directly, so he hesitated and said, "So... the covenant book?"
"Sorry, it still doesn't work," Qu Jianlei shook his head simply, "The covenant cannot be guaranteed, and inherent knowledge is not counted."
Hilton spread his hands and said, "Then tell me what to do."
Qu Jianlei thought about it and asked, "You local masters...archeology enthusiasts organization, where did you get those antiquities?"
The dark-skinned man answered simply, "There are all kinds of things. There are no certain rules, as long as you can get them."
Qu Jianlei asked again, "Are there any investors behind it...just like the financial backers."
The empire also has various investments, including a lot of venture capital. Many of the many pioneering groups on Zarif are supported by consortiums.
The dark-skinned man understood clearly. He shook his head simply, "No, there are many wealthy businessmen in the organization."
"Let's put it this way, we got together because of the same hobbies and want to improve the superpower training system through archaeology."
People with dreams are always worthy of respect. Qu Jianlei doubted this statement, but he still maintained enough respect.
"So, your organization is non-profit?"
If you ask this question on Blue Star, Bajiu will most likely get an affirmative answer. No matter what the nature of it is, you should first deceive people.
But people in the empire are upright after all. Hilton's face turned a little red and his voice became louder.
"This question is meaningless... Does it matter whether an organization is profitable or not?"
“If there is not enough financial resources, how can we start to develop our organization and how can we turn our dreams into reality?”
Qu Jianlei nodded calmly. He likes to see his negotiating opponents lose their composure, "So it's still profitable?"
"It has nothing to do with profit, it's all about dreams," Hilton replied sternly, "What we do is that most people can practice cultivation."
"Is the dream so big?" Qu Jianlei raised his eyebrows, "In that case, I have some other suggestions."
The two A-levels across from them exchanged glances upon hearing this, and both felt something bad in their hearts.
In the end, the dark-skinned man nodded, "Your Excellency, please speak."
Qu Jianlei spoke in a deep voice, "Bring over the ancient books and formations first, and I'll see if I can complete them."
"If it is not completed within half a year, the cooperation will end, and you must not question it..."
"As compensation, I will give you a new set of cultivation methods."
The other two were a little bit aloof at first, but they did a good job of concealing the mockery in their eyes.
But at the end, their mouths opened into an "O" shape.
After a while, the dark-skinned man gasped and asked, "How new is the new cultivation method?"
"Of course it's the latest," Qu Jianlei replied casually, "but I don't allow you to spread it for a fee."
"You all said it was to benefit the public...right?"
After a while, the dark-skinned man looked struggling, "But our promotion process also requires expenses."
"Anyway, I won't charge extra money, you can do it yourself," Qu Jianlei would not insist fearlessly.
