Lin Qiye acted as if he was an honest and trustworthy young man.
“Chief Zheng, you don’t want me to be a person who doesn’t keep his word, right?”
Chief Zheng: “…”
How could he not know the underlying meaning?
He’s an old fox. He could understand Lin Qiye’s intention clearly.
Wasn’t this a classic case of extortion?
Chief Zheng grumbled in his heart, but on the surface, he said very sincerely, “Mr. Lin, I’m willing to pay 50 pieces of platinum-tier weapons as a reward. Mr. Lin, please help us in advance.”
Chief Zheng extended five fingers.
Lin Qiye glanced at him.
50 pieces?
Is he trying to send a beggar away?
Lin Qiye had an uninterested expression on his face. “I’ve said it before. I’m a person of integrity. If I promise something to someone, I must act according to the rules.”
Chief Zheng: “…”
Like hell, he’d believe Lin Qiye!
He promised the Seven Cities Alliance Army that he would use 70 million points to catch the demons for them.
And in the end, he took 10 million more from Alliance Leader Wang, an extra 5 million from the other families, and many gifts.
Lin Qiye doesn’t have integrity! He only wants more benefits!
Chief Zheng was speechless.
The other Science and Technology Association experts also had gloomy expressions, but they could only swallow it.
They were the ones asking for help now.
Chief Zheng took a deep breath. He gritted his teeth and probed, “Then how about 100 platinum-tier weapons> How about it? Can Mr. Lin agree?”
A hundred platinum-tier weapons were already worth a billion.
If that weren’t enough, Lin Qiye would be doing daylight robbery!
Regarding this, Lin Qiye shook his head with an indifferent expression.
“Chief Zheng, this isn’t a matter of quantity. Credibility is the most important!”
“I, Lin Qiye, am an honest and trustworthy person. I keep my word, and I abide by the rules. The reason why I agreed to meet with you was out of respect for Little Baishi.
“After all, I don’t want to rashly agree to the Science and Technology Association because the demons in your association are the most troublesome. I need to rest for a few days before I can make a move.”
Lin Qiye shook his head. He looked like he wasn’t strong enough.
Chief Zheng was shocked. The experts behind him also felt their scalps go numb.
“Mr. Lin, what did you say?”
“The demons in our Science and Technology Association are the most troublesome?”
“Could they even parasitize peak Diamond Practitioners?”
Hearing these words, Chief Zheng was also shocked.
“Mr. Lin, is it true?”
Lin Qiye nodded. “Yes. It’s very troublesome! Let me rest for a while first.”
Chief Zheng quickly said, “Mr. Lin, how about 200 platinum-tier weapons and one diamond-tier armor? I know you’re lacking armor!
“A diamond-tier armor is worth tens of millions. If it wasn’t our association, nobody else could take it out so easily!”
Lin Qiye was expressionless.
And behind him, Qi Baishi was stunned.
“Chief Zheng, don’t force me. To me, catching demons is not that easy.”
Seeing that Lin Qiye could reject 200 platinum-tier weapons and one diamond-tier armor, Chief Zheng’s heart sank.
He knew that he had met an opponent.
Lin Qiye’s appetite was too big.
But in the current situation, even if Lin Qiye was too greedy, he could not do anything to him.
Chief Zheng looked behind him.
“Let us discuss it. What do you think?”
Lin Qiye waved his hand, indicating for them to do whatever they wanted.
And so, the group of people walked out of the villa.
Chief Zheng took out a light ball and opened the anti-eavesdropping shield.
They started a heated discussion inside.
“Should we increase the stakes?”
“No, it’s only two days. In two days, we’ll save a few hundred million movement points. Why Not?”
“But what if Lin Qiye thinks we’re not giving him enough gifts and delays it by ten days?”
“This brat can really do such a foolish thing!”
“Right. Lin Qiye is too disgusting. He doesn’t even care about the morals of the pugilistic world. He’s a money-grubbing slave.”
“Then we can only let him rip us off?”
“What else can we do?”
“The Seven Cities Alliance Army has thousands of demons lurking in the shadows. Today, another peak Diamond Level demon has been discovered. The situation is too grave. We can’t afford to delay!”
“A few hundred platinum weapons and one or two diamond-tier weapons. Although they are expensive, it is nothing for the association’s safety!”
“That’s right. If our forging genius is infected by demons, our losses would be incalculable! We can’t let the demons continue to infect us!”
“That’s right. Although it seems like we have paid a huge price this time, it will undoubtedly be beneficial to us in the long run.”
“Only by saving people can we save the land! If we disregard long-term interests for the sake of a little wealth, that would be vulgar!”
“Why don’t we offer a price Lin Qiye is satisfied with and wipe out all the demons in the Science and Technology Association?”
“Seconded.”
“Seconded!”
Soon, the high-level officials of the Science and Technology Association discussed and agreed to this deal.
However, at this moment, Chief Zheng raised another concern.
“The elimination of the demons will certainly allow the association to settle down for a period, but isn’t there something that everyone has overlooked? What if the demons invade again in the future?”
“This…”
When this question was raised, everyone present looked at each other in dismay.
Yes, the invasion of the demons was impossible to guard against. If they could invade once, they could naturally invade a hundred times.
If they are invaded by demons again in the future, do they still need to pay such a huge price to hire Lin Qiye?
