CHAPTER 911: CHAPTER 344 WIN-WIN NEGOTIATION (6K)_2

However, while they were engaged in a staring contest, Bai Yi wasn’t fooled into merely being a spectator.

The conditions they had just proposed were already being calculated in his mind.

"Though it differs slightly from what Shang Ji guessed, it’s largely not far off...

It appears to be an invitation for my involvement, but in reality, they’re hiding their true intentions in the unassuming conditions.

It seems to offer me convenience, saying they’ll help with the retail end, but isn’t it just a disguised way to control the sale of potions...

Even though the potion monopoly has been made public, they still want to secretly regain control. As expected, they are indeed the ones behind the ultimate control of the potion monopoly.

But fortunately, I’m not someone who feels compelled to uphold justice for the Transcendents of Starry Sky.

They’re using this to confuse me, but am I not doing the same..."

Returning to reality, the staring contest among the three continued.

The current state of affairs seemed to be gradually becoming clear, with the Radiant Envoy showing equal disdain for the other two, while the envoy of the Twins appeared to have somehow let Radiant Envoy off and was instead glaring at Saien’s envoy alongside the Radiant Envoy.

It seemed victory or defeat was about to be decided.

However, Bai Yi did not intend to wait for their "battle" to conclude and directly interrupted.

"I agree, but you will need to discuss the specific cooperation agreement with Shang Ji."

The attendants behind the three envoys let out a sigh of relief, thankful they no longer had to watch their bosses engage in this childish game, but the next second they suddenly realized they needed to negotiate with Shang Ji, who had just tricked them earlier, and their relief vanished.

"Great, on behalf of the Transcendents of Starry Sky, we thank Miss Fan Mao for her contribution."

"Ha, don’t celebrate too soon.

Since all three of you have already proposed cooperation, why not listen to mine as well?"

"Miss Fan Mao must be referring to those Transcendent plants outside.

In fact, we were just planning to propose this to you."

The Radiant Envoy quickly responded.

The three factions had indeed formulated a plan, which involved the previous cooperation, aiming to probe and use Fan Mao to regain control of high-level Transcendent forces.

Only by controlling the Transcendents could they maintain their dominance; and the simplest and most direct way to control the Transcendents was by controlling the resources that created them.

However, when they arrived on this planet and felt the effects of those Transcendent plants, they realized the situation had changed.

The potions they originally intended to control were utterly insignificant compared to these Transcendent plants.

The potions merely enhanced the abilities of individual Transcendents.

But the magical environment created by these Transcendent plants could directly produce more Transcendents on a large scale, incomparable in terms of influence.

They were uncertain whether this was Fan Mao deliberately revealing it as a protest after seeing through their plan, or simply trying to use it as a promotion for another product.

However, after reporting back to their superiors, they were instructed to continue testing, although the conditions were raised considerably from the original tests.

Now, based on Fan Mao’s full acceptance of their conditions and proactive proposal for cooperation, their initial assessment of Fan Mao might have been correct, and perhaps they had overthought it.

If that’s the case, then let’s proceed with the original plan to discuss terms...

The Radiant Envoy exchanged a glance with the other two, this time confirming that all had understood each other’s intentions.

"We have indeed taken note of the Transcendent plants you showcased.

To be honest, their effects indeed surprised us, and we were planning to propose related cooperation to you.

Who would have thought that before we could speak, Miss Fan Mao, you already brought it up."

"Oh? Then why not tell me, how do you plan to cooperate?"

Bai Yi leaned back, arms crossed, with a look that said ’let’s see what you can do.’

"We have thoroughly studied your Transcendent plants and found that you have previously sold similar Transcendent plants in the transit area.

However, compared to the magic power concentration here, only the core area can compare to the ordinary environment here.

So we reasonably speculate that these Transcendent plants likely only achieve this effect after reaching a certain quantity. Am I right?"

Seeing Bai Yi neither affirm nor oppose, feeling he tacitly agreed with his theory, the Radiant Envoy continued:

"Therefore, on one hand, we hope to purchase enough Transcendent plants from you to construct a magic power field.

However, we believe replicating the wonders of this planet is impossible, so we also hope to dispatch some troops here for cultivation and training.

Of course, we will offer you a reasonable price for all of these."

"Sounds good." No need for me to supplement it...

"I indeed think so, the price is negotiable.

However...

My energy is limited, I certainly can’t supply Transcendent plants in unlimited quantities.

Including the quota for training is not without restrictions, as you all, mostly Transcendents, should know that the magic power of a place is also limited.

No matter how dense the magic power field is, it cannot support too many Transcendents at once.

So, how much each of you three factions need to purchase depends on your capabilities..."

The three envoys exchanged glances, aware that indeed the statement was true, and their gazes suddenly turned dangerous.

Their probing had concluded, and each had obtained the results they desired as representatives of the three major civilizations, thus all cooperation had concluded.
