Liz glanced at Huai Shi and suddenly asked, "What, is the Sunmaker behind you bound by fate and willing to join the American lineage?
Or are you planning to change your allegiance? If that's the case, I don't mind helping you write a report. "
"You're already bargaining?"
Huai Shi spread his hands regretfully. "Sorry, don't even think about the Sunmaker. I'm quite comfortable in the Ivory Tower … Sending an employee like me out may be the limit of what the boss can accept.
If you know too many corporate secrets and want to change jobs, you'll be hunted down by the Espionage Eradication Team. Let's take a step back. How about I give you a complete set of secret manuals and guides? The kind that you can easily clear the level by following the instructions? "
"Then it seems that you can't make all the decisions," Liz mocked.
Liz mocked, before suddenly saying, "Sixty Blacksmiths, we will provide you with Apprentice Alchemists. You only need to train them into Blacksmiths, you don't need to win the rest."
"Isn't there an archive of Sunmakers' techniques in the Astronomy Society?" Huai Shi asked. "Can't you just read that?"
"If reading books is useful, what do we need teachers for?" Liz asked. "Besides, don't tell me you think that others can't see that you're hiding something?"
Huai Shi shook his head. "Look at what you're saying. I've already given you the foundation and information for free. There's no reason for me to hand over my unique application techniques, right? Also, sixty is too many. What's the use of having so many? If you want to focus on training, ten is enough. "
"This isn't a market haggling, Huai Shi."
Liz had no intention of backing down.
It wasn't as if the Ivy League hadn't trained their own Sunmakers. Benefiting from the excellent potential that Huai Shi had shown, everyone had more or less arranged for some people to study him.
Anyway, the family business was big, and some people had nothing to do. Arranging some after-school activities could also enrich the fun of their lives.
Then, everyone realized that they might not be playing the same game as Huai Shi.
Without the Alchemy Fire, Metal Specialization, and all kinds of blessings, even the first obstacle needed time to overcome. Without a mature Forger to make a Forgery Furnace for the apprentices, they could only endure more than ten times the time and slow efficiency, crawling at the speed of a tortoise.
As for the techniques and high-end application methods that were not recorded in the basic teaching materials, who knew how long it would take to figure them out.
Fifty to seventy was the best range that Ivy League came up with after considering the time and manpower. Too much of it was useless, and too little of it was useless.
"If that's the case, it's impossible for everyone to have a casting furnace, Liz." Huai Shi said, "And you have to provide the materials, many of which even the Ivory Tower doesn't have in stock."
"Then, how many times do you want me to reimburse you?"
"How is this possible?"
Huai Shi patted his chest sincerely. "You have to believe in my character."
"Hehe." Liz sneered.
"To be honest, I don't mind such a small amount of things, and I don't intend to hide these techniques in a drawer as treasures, but it's not cost-effective for you to do this."
Huai Shi sighed. "It will take at least a few decades to train your own people and wait for them to understand the King of Forgery's techniques and be able to cooperate with your scholars and Alchemists to reverse engineer it. Look at me, I've done it in a few seconds. Why bother?"
But under Liz's insistence, Huai Shi could only give in helplessly.
She doesn't even understand that it's better to buy than to buy, and it's better to rent than to buy!
This wastrel woman!
Forget it, I'll just sell them a few castrated versions. They won't be able to tell anyway …
"Then, let's talk about something else."
After settling this cooperation project between the Ivy League and the Ivory Tower, Huai Shi casually reminded, "The assets of the Utopia should not be abused."
Treasures of heaven and earth should be owned by the virtuous.
Good things should be held in the hands of good people.
Liz looked at him deeply and emphasized, "America will not sell its land."
"Of course. Strengthening ties, deep cooperation, and close cooperation will definitely be the main theme of both sides."
Huai Shi understood and suggested with a smile, "As an outsider, Celestial genealogy has no intention of telling America's cities what to do … As an investor, I prefer to do nothing and just take money. Of course, for the sake of a win-win situation for both sides, some chaos in the city must be rectified. "
As long as there's money, there's no land.
The seat of the independent city-states in the United States of America is open to all who want it, but only if I give my consent.
Liz immediately emphasized, "The property of America's citizens is sacred and inviolable."
"Of course, the interests of investors should be guaranteed. I even think that we should get more investment from the outside world to come up with something new here. It's boring to always be in the casino!
If you ask me, we should develop in all aspects of morality, intelligence, physical beauty, and labor! To be honest, I've already started planning for the greening of the desert … "
Huai Shi raised his hands high, full of sunshine. "We are willing to join hands with the residents to build a more colorful dream city!"
The investment of the nobles remained unchanged and could even be increased.
Don't worry, fellow townsfolk, we Celestial genealogy only want money, we don't kill people.
If there's money, everyone earns it together.
How shameful is it to eat alone? The more people who drink the soup, the harder it is to overturn the pot.
But don't think that you can control my project too much, right?
Liz solemnly emphasized again, "Traditions and human rights must be protected."
"Of course, every soul is born free and noble."
Huai Shi answered without hesitation, "We respect every skin color and every ethnic group. Even the beast-type will be treated fairly here."
It doesn't matter if you move Native Americans, Aztecs, or even Roman immigrants here. I have the beast-type here, are you afraid?
Huai Shi wasn't sleepy. As the King of Danbo, he was born to stand on the moral high ground of political correctness. He looked down and hit whoever he wanted.
As long as he was willing, he could spit at the top of the mountain and say that this place was too high, and there would be hundreds of thousands of beast-type beast-types coming out to help him flatten it.
Following the two's questions and answers, Douglas' heart sank to the bottom of the valley little by little.
It was as if he was witnessing the interrogation of his son-in-law and father-in-law with his own eyes.
It looked serious, cold, and hostile, but in fact, with every question the father-in-law asked and every answer the son-in-law gave, everyone was one step closer to a predetermined result.
How much is your income? Do you have a house? Do you have a car? What are your job prospects?
The answers to every question were above standard, and even beyond expectations.
Next, they only needed to match their birthdays and see their horoscopes. Then, everyone could happily and harmoniously imagine a beautiful future together.
Other than the fact that the daughter to be married off was from the Douglas family, there was no problem at all!
Both parties didn't seem to care about this at all …
When Liz stood in front of the negotiating table, the result was no longer in his control.
Finally, when the conversation at the negotiating table came to an end, Liz looked deeply at Huai Shi and reminded him, "In this land, every transaction will be witnessed by the gods. Huai Shi, I hope you can keep your promise —"
"Celestial genealogy will not let any friend down."
Huai Shi smiled and reached out his hand. "Happy working with you!"
Liz's fingers were slender and strong, as firm as iron. She retracted her hand after touching Huai Shi. But before she left, she looked at him one last time. "I hope so."
From this moment on, the American genealogy was the first to end their observation.
They chose to bet.
They participated in this huge gamble triggered by Russell.
Ten minutes later, this news would spread throughout the world and be placed in front of every observer. The reconstruction of Celestial genealogy took a crucial step forward, and it was in Huai Shi's hands. It was in his control.
And now, the war had not yet come, and this city that was born because of a mistake seventy years ago was about to welcome its new owner!
For many people, there was no doubt that dark clouds covered the sky and a storm was coming. And some people seemed to see an opportunity to make a move in ecstasy.
However, Huai Shi did not care about the endless glory and extravagance that came with it.
Was it fun?
Could it be more fun than tricking students?
He had to think about it for five minutes just to buy a monthly card.
Financial numbers games had never meant anything to Huai Shi, just like this city in front of him.
It belonged to him.
Then, he would take a look at it after opening the box and putting it in the cabinet. Its purpose was to put it together with other things.
Such a troublesome matter, he would leave it to Russell to deal with.
Anyway, he did not want to get involved at all.
However, before leaving the vault, he suddenly remembered that there was one last thing he had to do.
Thus, Huai Shi stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at the weak old man in the wheelchair beside him.
Beside the wheelchair, the young man with a livid face stared at him. After a long time, he no longer had the courage to look away.
In the silence, only the old man's tired and difficult breathing could be heard under the oxygen mask.
"This is your last chance, Old Sir."
Huai Shi reminded him calmly. "If you want to fight to the death, now is the only time."
In the wheelchair, Douglas closed his eyes in despair.
There was only one choice left.
Thus, he no longer hesitated.
When his turbid eyes looked up again, Douglas had already knelt at Huai Shi's feet and praised him sincerely, "Mr. Huai Shi, Las Vegas will swear loyalty to you!"
"Very good."
Huai Shi nodded approvingly. He reached out and pressed on his skinny shoulders, announcing softly, "Then remember, Mr. Douglas. The current you is already stepping on the land of the utopia.
Perhaps you will be dissatisfied and resentful of everything that happens in the future, but you have to understand one thing. “
Huai Shi lowered his head and reminded him kindly in his ear,
"You are living because of this."
In the long silence, Huai Shi turned around and her footsteps faded into the distance.
On the ground, Douglas dragged the cumbersome oxygen equipment. He was sweating profusely and lowered his head deeply, not daring to raise it again.
.
.
When Huai Shi walked out of the base with his suit jacket, he saw Russell leaning against the car and whistling. In the vast desert, the polar bear was smoking a cigar and humming an old jazz song happily.
Huai Shi rolled his eyes at him and asked angrily, "Haven't you thought about what if I fail?"
"Then wait for the right time and try again."
Russell waved his hand casually. "You are still young. There will definitely be a chance in the future."
"What if I fail too?" Huai Shi asked.
"Ha, don't you have students of your own? But forget about that brat from the Lin family. I think more highly of that girl, Yuanyuan. You should increase your efforts to nurture her. "
"It can't be because she's a girl, right?" Huai Shi glanced at him from the corner of his eyes.
Russell was stunned and looked over with a puzzled expression. "Why can't a girl be the king of the pedigree? Huai Shi, you are prejudiced! Two generations of our Celestial genealogy have been ruled by queens. Hurry up and change the deep-rooted straight thinking in your mind. Otherwise, you will be at a disadvantage in the future! "
Arguing with this old bastard would always lead to a cerebral hemorrhage.
Huai Shi didn't want to talk to him anymore.
Russell had already opened the door of the driver's seat and waved to him. "Let's go, Huai Shi. I heard that there is a lot of good wine here. I'll buy you a drink!
What do you want to drink? Tequila? Whiskey? "
"Whatever you want to drink, just don't swipe my card at the end …"
Huai Shi leaned against the passenger seat and closed his eyes. Only then did he feel a heavy exhaustion.
He fell into a deep sleep.
The car started again and drove toward the city of bubbles in the distant desert, gradually disappearing in the old blues song.
