Both parties were satisfied with the deal.
For Camille, 75,000 psionic energy points was already a lot higher than the bottom line in her heart. She originally thought that she would be ripped off. As for high-grade Psionic Crystals, they were often sold for 4,000 to 5,000 Psionic Points each. That was relatively rare.
As for what Luke said at the beginning, it was at least 5,000 Psionic Points each. That was even less believable.
Under normal circumstances, Psionic Crystals were inferior to items and equipment. It was mainly a matter of applicability.
Seeing Bai Xiaowen give her 75,000 spiritual energy points without even blinking, Camille's heart skipped a beat.
"Captain Bai, I want to ask, do you have any extra Psionic Points to lend me?"
Camille was not shy at all. She said generously, "I know too few people in Hua Xia. I really can't find anyone to lend me Psionic Points."
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes and thought for 0.1 seconds.
"Our White Phoenix Squad does have a surplus of Psionic Points," Bai Xiaowen said, "but you need to convince me to lend you a reason."
Camille blinked. "You will gain the friendship of the Rockefeller family."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and shook his head. "Say something practical."
"Okay, I'm willing to pay interest." Camille accepted her fate.
"Ordinary interest rates can't move me," Bai Xiaowen reminded her.
"Please, can you be a little gentlemanly in front of a lady?" Camille shouted in dissatisfaction. Two indescribable objects swayed up and down with her movements.
Luke's eyes widened. Of course, it was not because of Camille's swaying skills, but because he rarely saw Captain Camille's coquettish look, except when she was facing his grandfather.
"We have an old saying in Hua Xia. First the villain, then the gentleman," Bai Xiaowen said calmly with a smile.
"Okay!"
Camille thought for a moment. "I'll borrow 100,000 Psionic Points for six months. I'll repay 110,000 Psionic Points when it's due."
"Okay." Bai Xiaowen actually did not care about the interest of 10,000 to 20,000 Psionic Points. "However, I have two conditions."
"Say it." Camille was a little overjoyed. She did not expect Bai Xiaowen to be willing to accept such conditions.
"Firstly, the loan and repayment contracts between us need to be notarized by the rules of the Spirit Realm. If you do not take the initiative to repay when the time comes, or if you are unable to repay the debt, you will have to use your spiritual property, including but not limited to equipment and items, as compensation. "
"Of course." Camille heaved a sigh of relief. This was very normal.
"Secondly, after you get the loan, you can only purchase the Redbud Flag after four o 'clock in the afternoon on the last day of the meeting. Also, your meeting with me has to be confidential. This point has to be included in the contract as well, and it will be notarized by the rules of the Spirit Realm, "Bai Xiaowen said.
"Why did you set such a strange restriction?" Camille asked with a frown.
"You can think of it as a … quirk." Bai Xiaowen was too lazy to explain.
"Okay, I agree." Camille had seen a lot of these strange notarial contracts.
Soon, the two sides reached an agreement. Camille borrowed 100,000 Psionic Points from Bai Xiaowen. Together with the 75,000 Psionic Points from selling the high-grade Psionic Crystals and Enhancement Cards, she had a lot of money in her pocket. She also became very confident.
The two sides stood up and shook hands. Camille suddenly blinked her eyes. "Captain Bai, if I am unable to repay the debt when the time comes, and the items I have are not enough to repay the debt, can you really bear to fulfill the contract and make me lose the favor of the Psionic Particles?"
"What else? Do you have other ways to repay the debt? "Bai Xiaowen raised his eyebrows.
"Let me borrow a story from Hua Xia." Camille suddenly moved closer to Bai Xiaowen's ear. Her warm breath brushed past Bai Xiaowen's ear. She whispered, "How about A Thousand Miles of River Mausoleum?"
Qiao Rui and Li Shuyi were a little confused.
Bai Xiaowen reacted and coughed. "I'm a serious person. I don't joke."
"Hey, don't be so shy." Camille took advantage of her age to tease Bai Xiaowen. When she saw Bai Xiaowen's slightly embarrassed look, she felt a sense of accomplishment. "If you think it's not enough, A Thousand Miles of River Mausoleum is not impossible."
"I didn't expect that not only are you good at speaking Chinese, but you are also quite knowledgeable about Hua Xia culture."
Qiao Rui's voice sounded a little cold. She had already reacted, and the smile on her face disappeared. "Miss Camille, please conduct yourself with dignity."
"Okay, okay … I was just joking to liven up the atmosphere. Don't be so serious." Camille felt a little pressured by Qiao Rui's stare. She quickly waved her hand and returned to being serious. "I look forward to working with you."
"Remember to abide by the contract, including Luoke," Bai Xiaowen said.
Luoke, who was at the side, was confused. "???"
"I understand. For the sake of my future, I will restrain him." Camille patted Luoke's shoulder. "Follow me!"
"You don't need me to follow Bai Xiaowen?" Luoke asked in English.
"No need. Although I really want that wrist guard, the Redbud Army flag is more important. Captain Bai, thank you for your help. If that wrist guard doesn't sell, I will definitely buy it when I have the funds, "Camille said.
"I look forward to it," Bai Xiaowen said with a smile.
Both parties had a simple lunch at the cafe and went their separate ways.
Li Shuyi asked in surprise, "Xiaowen, what's the code for A Thousand Miles of River Mausoleum and A Thousand Miles of River Mausoleum?"
Bai Xiaowen smiled mischievously.
Qiao Rui pulled Li Shuyi over and whispered a few words in his ear, "Don't ask him. It's not interesting."
Li Shuyi was instantly filled with righteous indignation. "That's too much! That Camille is dreaming! But she's really big … "
"What's so good about her being like a cow and affecting her combat movements?" Qiao Rui advised. Then, he said, "But her Chinese is really good. She even knows such unorthodox allusions."
This was normal. In the Era of Psionic Abilities, the Awakened often had to master many languages, and Chinese was becoming more and more important. If it wasn't for the fact that Chinese was too difficult to learn, it might have become a universal language like English.
As for studying Chinese allusions, it was normal because the Awakened from other countries would also be matched to the Ancient Hua Xia dimension.
The spiritual world figures of the Ancient Hua Xia dimension often spoke in a roundabout way. They were particular about being reserved, unlike many other dimensions that were straightforward.
It had to be said that many foreigners were screwed over. In the ancient Huaxia dimension, they had the ability to automatically translate into Chinese, but they had only spoken a few words before they were inexplicably despised by the people of the Spirit Realm, especially the scholars …
