Lin Yi nodded and didn't say anything else. Lingshan and Yutian, on the other hand, started to admire Lin Yi! The more Lin Yi was so calculative, the more he fit the image of a thief couple. These people wouldn't suspect anything!
"Sparrow girl, what about you? Do you have any objections? " Old Hei turned to Xiaoke. "I'll give you ten percent, and that's according to the rules. Nothing more, nothing less! Technological foreign aid is 10% of the profits! "
"No problem!" Xiaoke nodded agreeably. In fact, Old Hei was very fair, since everyone was paying the same price.
"But let's get this straight upfront. If you can't solve anything, then I'll just give you some money and let you go back!" Old Hei said. "This ten percent is still valuable!"
"I understand." Xiaoke said confidently. "You know Feiyan Sect's reputation, right? They keep their word! But I want cash for this ten percent, not items! "
What Xiaoke lacked was money, and she had no use for the treasures in the tomb. It would be hard to get rid of them, so she suggested it directly.
"Sure, but you know the rules. The discount rule is 20% off the market price!" Old Hei said. "We can't get rid of them immediately. There's always a risk if we keep them in our hands!"
"Understood!" Xiaoke nodded. "But if you don't want them, I can pick them up, right?"
"That's up to you." Old Hei nodded.
Lin Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry at Xiaoke's words- this girl really was a little money grubber! She didn't want to let go of anything at all! Why would she want to pick up things that other people didn't want? But no matter how small a mosquito was, it was still meat. These grave robbers had very high standards, and they wouldn't be interested in normal things. Picking them up would take up too much space, and some small things like gold and silver would be good for Xiaoke.
After confirming the division of benefits, there was nothing else to talk about. Old Hei said, "Since no one has anything to say, then it's settled. I don't want any conflicts of interest. I think with Old Hao here, everyone can follow the rules!"
Everyone nodded, but no one knew how much sincerity was in this nod. When the benefits were not big enough, everyone could naturally abide by the rules, but once the benefits were to the point of making people jealous, then it was hard to say!
"I'll head back first." Lin Yi said faintly as he stood up and walked out of the tent, Lingshan and Yutian following closely behind.
"Let's all get some rest. We'll enter the tomb together tomorrow morning!" Old Black nodded and said.
Back in the tent, Lingshan said immediately, "That Feiyan Sect …"
But Lin Yi put a hand over her mouth and made a shushing gesture. Lin Yi, on the other hand, continued. "Hmph, the Feiyan School might not be able to do that- we have some key information about this tomb in our hands! Even if they could solve it before, the last step is still up to us. Otherwise, everyone will die! "
With that, Lin Yi pointed at a corner of the tent. Lingshan and Yutian looked at where Lin Yi was pointing, and saw that there was a listening device installed on the side of the tent.
Lingshan's heart skipped a beat. She was lucky! She had been too rash, and if it weren't for Lin Yi's quick reaction, she would've been exposed! She wanted to say that Feiyan Sect's Flying Sparrow Girl was Xiaoke, wasn't that the female thief she was after?
Her identity would've been exposed if she said that, and Old Black's assault rifles would've surrounded them! Even if the three of them managed to escape, the mission would've been a failure!
"Tian, check the inside of the tent, see if anyone did anything to it!" After saying that, Lin Yi seemed to have remembered something, ordering Yutian.
"Yes!" Yutian pretended to check the insides of the tent. It'd be too fake if he found the listening device right away. He wanted to search for a while before taking it out!
He'd also check the other parts of the tent to see if anyone had done anything to it.
Old Black was listening to Lin Yi and Lingshan's conversation with a listening device, and he heard Lin Yi telling Yutian to check if anyone had done anything to the tent. He was troubled! He thought to himself that this couple was still on guard against others.
But that was to be expected. Who wouldn't be on guard in this line of work? He'd asked his men to put a listening device in someone else's tent when they were discussing. Wasn't that to guard against others as well?
After hearing Lin Yi's words, Old Black finally understood why Lin Yi was so confident in asking for twenty percent. He had a trump card! He actually had information on this tomb! Old Black's heart palpitated as he listened to Lin Yi talk about the mechanism. Luckily, he'd agreed to Lin Yi's request. Otherwise, wouldn't they all be dead in the tomb? Wouldn't it be a huge loss if Lin Yi took advantage of them all?
Not long after, it was obvious that the male thief's subordinate, Xiao Tian, had found the listening device. There was only a creaking sound, and there was no sound from the earpiece. The listening device had been destroyed.
"Didn't expect this couple to have a trump card up their sleeves. No wonder they were so cocky!" One of Old Black's underlings said. He was in charge of listening to the other tomb robbers, but the others didn't say anything important, and he carefully removed the listening device.
Evidently, no one here was an idiot. They were all people with some tricks up their sleeves!
Old Black shook his head. This was the only thing he could do. Everyone had spoken nicely, and there wasn't anything wrong with the distribution of benefits, but who knew what would happen tomorrow?
Yu Xiaoke didn't bring a tent, but Old Black gave her one. She didn't have the money to buy things from the supply truck, which belonged to another faction in the Steal Sect.
There was a group of people in the Steal Sect who didn't participate in tomb robberies, but would go wherever there were tomb robberies to sell their daily necessities. They had everything, but the price was ridiculously high. This line of work had been around for a long time, and they'd gotten permission from a few respected seniors in the sect.
