Central Province Region, Holy Capital, Lord’s Shop headquarters.
Under Lin Xiang’s lead, Wang Xiao arrived at the storage department of the Lord’s Shop. Although he had been to the headquarters more than once before, this was the first time he had come to such an important place.
The two of them first went underground through a small door. After walking for a few minutes, they encountered a staircase that went up.
After exiting from the end of the stairs, the two of them stood beside a street. The tall wall of the round field had already arrived behind them.
Wang Xiao turned around and reacted. They should have left the grand circle filled with the [Ancient Teleportation Gate] underground.
Looking at the bustling scene of tall buildings and heavy traffic in front of him, even Wang Xiao, who had seen the world, could not help but be a little stunned. As he looked around, he said, “As expected of the Holy Capital. It’s indeed much more prosperous than Kaiyang City!”
Lin Xiang, who was at the side, burst into laughter. “Brother Wang, what are you saying? How can the dignified Holy Capital of the Blue Planet not be as prosperous as Kaiyang City?”
Wang Xiao pondered and realized that this was true. His face immediately revealed some embarrassment.
Lin Xiang saw this and continued to smile. “Moreover, you’re saying this too early. The city you’re looking at now isn’t the true Holy Capital!”
“It’s not the real Holy Capital?”
Wang Xiao was stunned when he heard this, but he immediately reacted. “I understand. This is the edge of the Holy Capital, right? After all, the land in the Holy Capital is so precious, and the headquarters of the Lord’s Shop covers a large area. It definitely can’t be built in the center of the Holy Capital.”
“Yes… you’re right and wrong.”
Lin Xiang smiled strangely. “The headquarters of our Lord’s Shop is indeed not in the center of the Holy Capital, but this is not the edge of the Holy Capital—”
At this point, Lin Xiang pointed at the “prosperous city” across the street with tall buildings. He could not help but reveal a proud expression. ‘What you’re seeing now is only the storage area of our headquarters!”
“Storage, storage area?!”
Wang Xiao’s eyes instantly widened when he heard this. His first reaction was disbelief. The area of this city in front of him was almost the same as Kaiyang City. How could it only be a “sector” of the Lord’s Shop’s headquarters?
However, after taking a closer look, Wang Xiao felt that it was not impossible.
Although the surrounding streets were filled with traffic and people coming and going, the cars were basically delivery trucks. The pedestrians were also wearing the same clothes. Compared to shopping, they looked more like they were busy working…
Without waiting for Wang Xiao to recover from his shock, Lin Xiang pointed in a few more directions and introduced, “Our previous location is the transportation area. Our main purpose is to let the staff of the various branches come and go to the headquarters.”
“After passing through the storage area, there’s a training area. The security guards at headquarters will train there. Sometimes, it will be used by customers to test the power of the props.”
“The north side of the storage area is a resort. It’s used to entertain important customers. I’ll go and greet the person in charge of the storage department later. Then, we can go to the resort and wait.”
Wang Xiao nodded as if he understood. “Looks like the scale of the Lord’s Shop’s headquarters is even larger than I expected!”
“Of course. After all, we’ve been operating on the Blue Planet for so many years!”
Lin Xiang chuckled proudly, as if he was the one who opened the Lord’s Shop.
Wang Xiao smiled and did not expose him. He followed Lin Xiang to see the person-in-charge of the Storage Department and then headed straight to the resort.
After passing through a door nearly ten meters tall, another city with a different style appeared in front of him.
Compared to the busy warehouse area, the resort area exuded a comfortable silence from the environment to the personnel. Even though the air was mixed with some smoke from the warehouse area, it still made people feel relaxed and happy.
Lin Xiang originally wanted to bring Wang Xiao to the reception room, but Wang Xiao said that he wanted to take a breath of fresh air, so he found an elegant small pavilion nearby.
A few minutes after they sat down, they saw Shen Tianlin hurriedly walk over.
“Brother Wang! It’s done!”
Shen Tianlin even waved his hand from afar and shouted, “The boss has already agreed to the deal. As long as you sign the [Gold Contract], you can get the storage area to prepare to pick up the goods!”
“Already?”
Wang Xiao could not help but be a little surprised when he heard this. Although he had followed Lin Xiang for a while, it had only been about half an hour. Shen Tianlin had actually settled the matter with his boss?
As he spoke, Shen Tianlin had already walked into the pavilion and took out the [Gold Contract]. He waved it and said excitedly, “Not only did I settle this business, but I also helped you fight for a free gift!”
“A free gift?”
Wang Xiao was stunned again. “What gift?”
Shen Tianlin revealed a mysterious expression. “Aren’t you very interested in that diamond quality beast egg? I asked the boss to give you that beast egg as a gift. The boss agreed!”
“Diamond quality beast egg?!”
Wang Xiao was shocked when he heard this. The corners of his mouth had already subconsciously curled up. “Minister Shen! Are you serious?”
Wang Xiao was indeed very interested in that beast egg. He originally planned to ask for the price after settling this business. He did not expect the Lord’s Shop to actually give it to him directly!
Although the price of beast eggs was generally not high, this was a diamond quality beast egg! Even if it was trash, with the label “diamond quality”, it would still become the overlord of trash!
“Really! Why would I lie to you?!”
Shen Tianlin patted his chest sincerely and promised. Then, he handed the [Gold Contract] to Wang Xiao. “I’ve already informed the Warehouse Department to send that beast egg over. As long as you sign the contract, you can take it away later!
“Alright! I’ll sign it now!”
As Wang Xiao spoke, he took the [Gold Contract] and was about to leave behind the lord mark when a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed through his mind. Then, he decisively stopped and carefully checked the contents of the contract.
Seeing Wang Xiao’s reaction, Shen Tianlin’s expression immediately became a little unnatural. Just as he was about to say something to change the topic, Wang Xiao had already discovered that something was wrong.
“Minister Shen, what’s going on?”
Wang Xiao held the contract with one hand and frowned as he asked, “The price we agreed on was 115 billion. Why did it become 118.5 billion?”
Before Shen Tianlin could say anything, Wang Xiao waved his hand magnanimously. “Of course, this is already much cheaper than the original price, so I won’t say anything, but this…”
Wang Xiao pointed at one of the contracts and his expression had already darkened. “The conditions we discussed previously were that I would use the [Lord’s Skill] to nurture three mutated beasts for the Lord’s Shop. Why did it become five in the contract now?”
“Well…
Shen Tianlin became even more embarrassed. “Brother Wang, listen to my explanation…”
“What else is there to explain? If I didn’t erase my lord’s mark, this modified [Golden Contract] would have already been signed, right?”
Wang Xiao sneered and slammed the [Gold Contract] on the stone table. “I’ve said it before. If you feel that the conditions are unreasonable, you can refuse the deal. Now, you’re using such a sneaky trick.. Is this how you do business?!”
