Chapter 602 - 434: Mission Complete, Generous Rewards

"Mm."

The Origin Divine Lord nodded. "Team Leader Xu is correct."

"Divine Lord!"

At that moment,

the one sitting in the center of the three members of the Blue Skin Race spoke up. "If you choose our Blue Skin Race, we can offer eleven thousand Ten Thousand Years Longevity Crystals!"

And so,

the Blue Skin Race had started a price war.

In fact,

a price war was the most direct and effective method.

"!!!"

Xu Qing frowned.

Because

he could only offer ten thousand Ten Thousand Years Longevity Crystals. This was the maximum funding the Langya Branch Tower had allocated him, so Xu Qing had no authority to raise the purchase price.

"Eleven thousand!"

Yuan Tiankong’s eyes lit up.

Evidently,

Yuan Tiankong was genuinely tempted.

HUFF...

Xu Qing took a deep breath.

Just then,

among the nine procurement officers,

Lin Feifei, one of the two members of the Human Race, suddenly spoke.

"Honorable Divine Lord!"

Lin Feifei took a deep breath, her tone calm as she began to speak slowly. "It is undeniable that the price offered by the Blue Skin Race is one-tenth higher than ours."

"However,"

"our Langya Branch Tower has an advantage that the Blue Skin Race can never hope to match."

"And that is!"

"Power! And comprehensiveness!"

"Our Langya Branch Tower is part of the True Realm Tower, and within the True Realm Tower, there is a saying: as long as you have enough Longevity Crystals, you can buy anything!"

"Therefore!"

"If you partner with our Langya Branch Tower, you will be able to learn about and purchase things you never even knew existed!"

"Furthermore..."

As you could see,

Lin Feifei stood up and spoke with a torrent of eloquence, endlessly listing the numerous benefits of partnering with the Langya Branch Tower. Her words flowed on and on.

"You..."

The expressions of the three members of the Blue Skin Race turned very ugly.

From this, it was clear

that the business skills of these three Blue Skins were far inferior to Lin Feifei’s.

As a result,

Yuan Tiankong was obviously swayed by Lin Feifei.

In truth,

from the very beginning,

Yuan Tiankong had wanted to cooperate with the Blue Skin Race. But he also wanted to drive up the price, so he invited the people from the Langya Branch Tower to make the Blue Skins raise their offer.

Sure enough,

Yuan Tiankong had achieved his goal.

However,

he never imagined that among Xu Qing’s nine procurement officers, there would be such a capable person who could actually persuade him.

After all,

Yuan Tiankong was the Divine Lord of the Origin Divine Country.

"Divine Lord!"

The faces of the Blue Skin Race members grew even uglier.

"My sincerest apologies,"

Yuan Tiankong said to the three members of the Blue Skin Race. "I’m afraid I must disappoint you."

"So be it!"

With that,

the three members of the Blue Skin Race stood up. "If, one day, you wish to cooperate with our Blue Skin Race, Divine Lord, you can contact us at any time."

"I will."

Yuan Tiankong smiled.

Afterward,

the three members of the Blue Skin Race departed.

Next,

Yuan Tiankong once again hosted Xu Qing and his team with great enthusiasm. After the banquet, Xu Qing and Yuan Tiankong conducted their first transaction: the purchase of ten thousand Stones of Origin for ten thousand Ten Thousand Years Longevity Crystals.

「The next day.」

"Divine Lord, until we meet again."

Xu Qing clasped his hands and bowed respectfully to Yuan Tiankong before walking toward the Level 1 Langya Flying Cabin. "I look forward to a long and lasting partnership with you, Divine Lord."

"Good."

Yuan Tiankong smiled. "I look forward to that as well."

SWOOSH!

In the next moment,

Xu Qing and his team all entered the Level 1 Langya Flying Cabin. It transformed into a streak of light, pierced through the sky, and vanished into the Void.

Soon,

Xu Qing and his team were on their way back to the Langya Branch Tower.

"Lin Feifei, you did well this time."

Inside the Flying Cabin,

Xu Qing’s gaze fell upon Lin Feifei, and his tone was full of praise. "If you hadn’t persuaded Yuan Tiankong, this deal never would have happened."

"Team Leader,"

Lin Feifei said, "Actually, I could already tell that Yuan Tiankong had no intention of working with our True Realm Tower from the start."

"He was worried that the True Realm Tower was too powerful and that we might turn from guest to host. At the same time, he wanted to drive up the price to maximize his own profit."

"So,"

"all I had to do was ease his concerns and show him that the benefits of partnering with us couldn’t be compared to a mere one thousand Ten Thousand Years Longevity Crystals. Then, he would naturally choose to work with us."

"After all,"

"we are the Langya Branch Tower, which belongs to the True Realm Tower. And the True Realm Tower is one of the Nine Great Forces of the Unique True Realm. That is an undeniable fact."

"Good, good, good,"

Xu Qing said with a smile, patting Lin Feifei’s shoulder. "When we get back, I will report your contribution. As for the rest of you, your performance this time was terrible. If this happens again, don’t blame me for being harsh."

"Yes."

"Understood, Team Leader."

"It was indeed our fault this time."

The other eight members quickly nodded.

「One day later.」

Xu Qing and his team returned to the Langya Branch Tower without incident. The Blue Skin Race wouldn’t dare ambush people from the Langya Branch Tower; they knew the price of doing so.

Because,

long ago,

someone had ambushed members of the True Realm Tower. The consequences were terrifying: an entire Top-tier Influence was completely uprooted within seven days.

Moreover,

even the other Nine Great Forces would face the True Realm Tower’s insane wrath.

Immediately,

Xu Qing reported the results of the mission. After everything was confirmed, he received a reward of ten Ten Thousand Years Longevity Crystals.

Additionally,

now that the Langya Branch Tower had established a long-term trade agreement with the Origin Divine Country, Xu Qing would receive one-ten-thousandth of all profits from their trades.

One should not underestimate this one-ten-thousandth share.

It was a permanent arrangement.

Furthermore,

the Origin Divine Country was, after all, a Tier One Influence, and ten thousand years ago, it had even been a Top-tier Influence. Its foundations were deep, meaning future transaction volumes would be terrifyingly large.

Therefore,

for Xu Qing, this represented a long-term, stable source of True Points.

In addition,

Xu Qing naturally reported Lin Feifei’s performance and contribution as well, which received approval from his superiors. Lin Feifei also obtained a corresponding reward.

Specifically,

Lin Feifei was rewarded with ten Thousand Years Longevity Crystals.

And,

she was promoted to Deputy Team Leader of Procurement Team One.

"This is great!"

When Lin Feifei heard the news and received her reward, she was instantly thrilled and excited, clearly overjoyed.

"Thank you, Team Leader! Thank you, Team Leader!"

Lin Feifei cried out gratefully.

"It’s nothing."

Xu Qing waved his hand. "You earned it."

At the same time,

the other eight members were extremely envious, their gazes on Xu Qing complicated.

Previously,

Procurement Team One had a different team leader, but that leader would take all the credit for any achievements, keeping all the benefits for himself.

One could say

that Xu Qing proactively reporting Lin Feifei’s contribution was utterly shocking to the nine members of the procurement team. They could hardly believe it.

Now,

the proof was right before their eyes, forcing them to finally believe it.

In fact,

during the trip to the Origin Divine Country, it had seemed like the others were dazed by Yuan Tiankong’s "sugar-coated bullets," but the truth was they simply didn’t want to put in any effort.

They were worried that if they put their hearts and souls into it, they wouldn’t get any credit in the end.

Therefore,

they had decided to just phone it in from the very beginning.

As it turned out,

they hadn’t expected Xu Qing to be nothing like that. Because Lin Feifei had performed well, he had even personally reported her contribution.

After this mission,

Procurement Team One had some time to rest.

However,

the other eight members were already rubbing their hands in anticipation.

"Team Leader, when’s our next mission?"

asked Golden Snake Tiger.

The other seven looked at Xu Qing expectantly.

"Just wait."

Xu Qing waved his hand. He was going into seclusion for Cultivation.
