“Why don’t we establish a long-term deal with Lin Qiye?”

Qi Baishi’s master suggested.

Everyone’s eyes lit up.

“That makes sense.”

“But it is a huge sum of money.”

“Our Science and Technology Association doesn’t lack money! Now, let’s not talk about it!”

Chief Zheng’s gaze was cold.

“We only need to ensure one thing. Our safety!”

Chief Zheng seemed to have made a decision.

“This time, let’s finalize our future cooperation. We’ll give Lin Qiye 100 platinum-tier weapons a year and let him help with the screening yearly. Wouldn’t that be the best of both worlds?”

Once his words fell, the experts of the Science and Technology Association nodded one after another.

Indeed, if they established a long-term cooperative relationship, even if demons appeared in the future and they asked Lin Qiye to help, they wouldn’t have to pay such a huge price as today.

“Chief Zheng is wise!” Everyone flattered.

“Alright, since everyone has no objections, we’ll ask Lin Qiye to help us at a high price and then finalize the long-term cooperation. Although it’ll cost a lot, overall, it’ll be a bloody profit!”

As he said, Chief Zheng removed the anti-eavesdropping shield.

He led everyone and entered the hall of Lin Qiye’s villa.

“Mr. Lin, we’ve already discussed it. We’re willing to give 300 platinum-tier weapons and two diamond-tier defensive items. How about it?”

Lin Qiye looked troubled. “I’m a person who values honesty the most…”

Qi Baishi was speechless.

That’s not right. Didn’t Brother Ye say that 300 was enough?

Why did he want to add more?

Chief Zheng also looked pissed, but he had no choice but to lower his head.

“350 platinum weapons, plus two diamond-tier armor. We can’t add on, Mr. Lin. We’ve already sent 50 platinum-tier weapons before.”

Hearing that, Lin Qiye nodded.

“Actually, I care about the people. I also feel sorry for the Science and Technology Association, which was invaded by demons. So, I will reluctantly agree to this.

“I’ll pay a little price.”

Lin Qiye acted as if he was the one sacrificing.

Chief Zheng hurriedly nodded.

Finally, he revealed a smile. “But, Mr. Lin, we have another request…”

Upon hearing that, Lin Qiye’s expression suddenly changed.

His tone was extremely cold. “However? Are there additional conditions? Are you bargaining with me?

“Little Baishi, send the guests out!”

Before Chief Zheng could finish his words, Lin Qiye looked impatient as he waved his hand to dismiss the guest.

Chief Zheng could not help but be flustered as he hurriedly explained, “No, Mr. Lin, you’ve misunderstood what I meant.

“What I wanted to say was that this time, we will give you every cent of the remuneration for helping us clear out the demons.

“But apart from that, our Science and Technology Association also wants to establish a long-term cooperative relationship with you. In the future, we’d like to invite you to our association to conduct a yearly internal investigation of the demons. When that time comes, we will pay you another 150 platinum-tier weapons as remuneration! How is it?”

Hearing that, Lin Qiye raised his eyebrows.

“Oh? Once a year?”

It was a bargain he had picked up for free.

Why wouldn’t he take it?

When Qi Baishi heard Zheng Ding’s promise, she was stunned.

How could Lin Qiye bargain with others like that?

Not only did he ask for 350 high-quality weapons, but he even got an additional 150 weapons every year.

What kind of logic was this?

Qi Baishi’s heart skipped a beat as she felt dizzy.

However, Lin Qiye frowned slightly and looked hesitant.

“I…”

“Don’t! Don’t say anymore. Do you think 200 weapons per year is enough? It is already the limit of our association!”

Upon seeing Lin Qiye still wanted to add more weapons, Chief Zheng’s legs started to go soft.

What a businessman!

He offered such a generous deal, yet Lin Qiye still wanted to rip him off.

What was the difference between this and robbery?

Hearing Chief Zheng raises the price, Lin Qiye finally understood and smiled.

“Alright, seeing that Chief Zheng is full of sincerity, I’ll sacrifice a little more and help you eliminate the demons today!

“However, the items have to be sent over first. I’ll also advance the weapons for next year.

“It’s 550 platinum-tier weapons and two diamond-tier defensive equipment.”

“Send them over, and I’ll start helping.”

“No problem! Mr. Lin, please wait a moment. It won’t take too long!”

Chief Zheng waved his hand and led everyone away, leaving behind Lin Qiye, who sent them off calmly.

As for Qi Baishi, she covered her pounding heart and walked to Lin Qiye’s side.

“Brother Ye, they… they really agreed to 550 platinum-tier weapons and two diamond-tier defensive items?”
