Especially one Level 5 Contractor, who had actually visited the headquarters once and had met Ye Lin, if only briefly, so he knew that this Ye Lin was indeed real.
Then they were also curious as to who Mu Rufeng really was, to possess such energy that even made Ye Lin, the head of the headquarters, rush to appoint him as deputy minister.
This was a deputy minister of the headquarters, not of those branch ministers scattered across the country, their powers could not be more different.
One could tell just by listening to what Ye Lin, the head of the headquarters, had said.
He really wanted to speak, but considering the current situation, he could only suppress the urge, waiting for an opportune moment.
At this moment, Mu Rufeng slowly raised his head and said, "Honestly, these ores are worth around three billion in the market."
"Although I got them slightly cheaper, I did pay in real cash."
"Head of the headquarters, your demands, are almost equivalent to getting a huge advantage for nothing, I think, any fool would refuse."
Upon hearing this, Ye Lin sighed in his heart, indeed, he had asked too much.
After all, the value of the items involved was truly immense.
A mere deputy minister, in front of someone like Mu Rufeng, really counted for nothing.
Tian Youdao wanted to say something, but realizing that he didn't have much of a relationship with Mu Rufeng, he ultimately kept silent.
Han Chen's eyes, however, were constantly flashing with sharpness; he had never expected Mu Rufeng to be so wealthy.
So wealthy that it even tempted him.
"According to the records in the notebook, this guy is so powerful, not to mention me, even Ye Lin might not be his match."
"This guy is also this rich, and a shareholder of the Gluttonous Cruise, this kid must have no small secrets. I can't beat him, nor suppress him; since ancient times heroes have struggled to overcome the allure of a beautiful woman. It seems I can only resort to using a honey trap..."
Han Chen's mind conjured a perfect plan.
"However, I am not a selfish person, so, Head Ye of the headquarters, I agree to your terms."
Everyone originally thought Mu Rufeng had settled the issue, but unexpectedly, Mu Rufeng changed his tune and agreed right away.
"That's great, thank you, really, thank you so much." Ye Lin immediately became excited and stepped forward to grasp both of Mu Rufeng's hands.
Ye Lin was so young, how come he felt like one of the older generation?
Could it be that Ye Lin was also an old guy who had become young because of the Contract Demon?
"The price of these ores, just go by the market price. Issuing an IOU is no problem. However, I need some items that can increase Luck Value and enhance attributes."
"You can help me collect them on a global scale. Some special items are also fine; consider that as interest. How about it?" Mu Rufeng said.
The terms were actually unequal, but Mu Rufeng could not turn a blind eye to the nation.
Having the ability, wouldn't he help the country? Or should he just watch helplessly as countless ordinary people perish when the Mysterious World descends?
He did not want to become the Great Xia's Mu Rufeng, a person so powerful yet alone in a world where he stood as the only survivor, a loneliness and misery beyond imagination.
Even if Mu Rufeng later became an existence surpassing Level 9, what would that matter? Could he bring the dead back to life?
Could he destroy the Mysterious World and bring about the rebirth of the real world?
"Agreed." Ye Lin almost immediately responded without hesitation.
"Then, Zhao Xize, you can have them start moving it." Mu Rufeng said.
"Alrighty, did you hear that? Hurry up and move, get all these ores onto the ship." Zhao Xize instructed the Mysterious Affairs Bureau employees.
The Mysterious Affairs Bureau employees called out in response and hurried towards the warehouse.
"Deputy Director Liu Hao, you go to the Mysterious Affairs Bureau and get some people over. After these ores are moved down, keep an eye on them," Ye Lin instructed the head of the Mysterious Affairs Bureau.
"Yes, head of the headquarters, I will take good care of it. There won't be any loss at all," Liu Hao nodded, his face filled with excitement.
So many ores, such a vast quantity! It would increase production and allow for new items to be researched. He was truly too happy, too excited.
"You ten people, come over here." At that moment, Mu Rufeng suddenly called out to the ten players who were about to move the goods.
"Are you deaf? Come here quickly, didn't you hear what Boss Mu said?" Zhao Xize immediately rebuked them.
The ten Contractors immediately approached.
"Minister Mu, Head Ye, I am Mu Shou, chief of the Ha City headquarters," one Contractor introduced himself first.
"Minister Mu, Head Ye, I am Yang Chun, deputy chief of the Xiantao City headquarters."
The other Contractors from the relevant departments also hurried to introduce themselves, fearing they'd be silenced if they were too late.
"Mu Shou from Ha City headquarters? I remember I've seen you," Ye Lin spoke up.
"I visited the Capital headquarters during National Day; I never expected Head Ye to still remember me," Mu Shou was honestly surprised that Ye Lin still remembered him.
After all, it had only been a brief encounter, and they hadn't even spoken.
"You all heard what we were just discussing, right?" Mu Rufeng suddenly said.
"Heard...We heard," a player nodded.
"Minister Mu, Head Ye, rest assured, we definitely, definitely won't say anything."
"Yeah, we will keep it to ourselves."
The Contractors spoke up one after another.
