In Wang Lu’s opinion, before the Beast Tide erupted, how could it take 1 million points to recruit an A-level Awakened?
Tens of thousands would have been enough.
Especially for A-level Awakened in small cities, what is better about staying in a small city compared to moving to a big city?
But now is an unusual time.
More than ten big cities are scrambling for people, even powerful B-level Awakened. Indeed, there is no need to say more about A-level Awakened. As long as there are no ulterior motives, green lights all the way.
Three million points, that’s a lot of sincerity. If she were Li Ping, hearing this offer would certainly be tempting.
"Chairmen, Li Ping is not just an ordinary A-level Awakened."
Upon hearing Li Jian and Wang Lu’s words, Han Xu got a bit anxious. He didn’t expect this kind of result.
"Chairmen, what I said earlier is absolutely true. There were indeed two Beast King-level Fierce Beasts that attacked Anshan City, and he killed them both. Twenty million points is really high, but I believe it’s absolutely worth it."
"You make it sound so easy."
Wang Lu gave him a cool look, "Do you even know what twenty million points mean?"
"That’s right, with that many points, you could recruit more than ten A-level Awakened from other big cities." Li Jian’s lips twitched.
The points from their two Branch Offices didn’t come out of thin air.
Being able to offer one million points was already a concession to Shao Yuandong. Otherwise, they would have ended the video call a long time ago.
Han Xu opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
He was a bit regretful.
If he had known this would happen, he should have let Qin Jin and the others record a video and present it to the two Chairmen, to see if they would still doubt it then.
But this couldn’t be blamed on Qin Jin and the others.
If he were on the scene, he would probably have gone pale with fear, let alone have the mind to take a video.
"I trust our branch’s people."
Shao Yuandong spoke, "Since they said there were two Beast King-level Fierce Beasts, which were killed by Li Ping alone, then this must be true because they have no reason to lie about such a thing. Two Chairmen, I hope you reconsider. Li Ping is not an A-level Awakened, but a Quasi-S-Class Awakened. I even have a premonition that he will certainly become an S-Class in the future."
"....."
Li Jian and Wang Lu exchanged glances.
They both felt Shao Yuandong was exaggerating.
Quasi-S-Class Awakened, the whole Yan Country doesn’t have much more than S-Class Awakened.
That an unknown small city could have an A-level Awakened was already unbelievable to them.
A Quasi-S-Class?
That would be a fantasy.
"Old Shao, there is no need to consider it any further."
Li Jian shook his head, "The same as before, our Branch Office can offer at most one million points, and we also need a day or two to discuss it. You know, this is an unusual time, and our branch’s points are also tight."
Shao Yuandong heard this and a trace of disappointment appeared on his face.
He looked at Wang Lu, "Chairman Wang, do you agree?"
"Yes."
Wang Lu nodded.
"Alright then," Shao Yuandong nodded reluctantly, "I am really sorry for disturbing you so late."
"It’s fine, you did this for the sake of Juque City, we understand." Li Jian smiled, glanced at the time, "Old Shao, if you have no other matters, let’s end the meeting here?"
"Alright."
Shao Yuandong nodded.
"I’ll hang up first."
Wang Lu finished and cut off the communication.
Li Jian hesitated for a moment and then said, "Old Shao, that Li Ping might not be as powerful as you think. I think you acted a bit hastily. Twenty million points is not a small amount. Even if our three Branch Offices share the cost, each branch would have to come up with six to seven million points. That’s quite a lot. You need to think it over seriously."
After speaking, he too cut off the communication.
"Sorry, Chairman."
Han Xu apologized.
"Why are you telling me this now?"
"If I hadn’t told you this news, nothing would have happened." Han Xu said.
Anyone with eyes could see that the negotiation had fallen through.
Due to this incident’s influence, if anything significant happens in the future, it is highly likely that the other two Chairmen will not agree with their Chairman’s opinions.
Shao Yuandong remained silent.
Suddenly, he looked sharply at Han Xu.
"Are you sure that this Li Ping is really that powerful?"
"Chairman, I am very sure."
Han Xu nodded like a pecking chick, "I called him earlier. He said he would come over tomorrow morning. By then, Chairman, you can meet him yourself. He is truly extraordinary."
"Alright, I will meet him tomorrow."
Shao Yuandong squinted his eyes.
If the person is as Han Xu said, then twenty million points is not too much for him to offer, because in the event of a future crisis in Juque City, having this person would be an extra layer of insurance.
But if the person doesn’t give him a good impression, then he would follow Han Xu’s suggestions.
...
After his True Essence fully recovered, Chen Fan left several smaller Flying Centipedes to continue guarding the underground of Anshan City to prevent any stray Fierce Beasts from attacking people on the surface after his departure.
The remaining three larger Flying Centipedes followed him as he left Anshan City, heading towards the Secret Realm.
