Secretary Zhao was on the verge of tears.
The higher-ups of the Awakened Association were all martial artists who would flip the table over the slightest disagreement. Unfortunately, the association was only a loose organization and did not have a strict hierarchy.
If it was any other government department, as the top secretary, he would not be threatened by the fist of a committee member …
Fortunately, President Yang Yongkang's voice sounded from inside the room, "Committee Member Li, don't make things difficult for Xiao Zhao. Come in."
Li Beihai put Secretary Zhao down and patted his shoulder. He helped him straighten out the creases on his suit and tried to make a kind smile, "Hey, I was just joking with you. Hahaha …"
Without mentioning the crying Secretary Zhao, the three of them rushed into the President's office.
Just as Secretary Zhao said, there were four people in the President's office. Other than President Yang Yongkang and Wu Chonglian, the two Vice Presidents, Fu Yiping and Xiang Tian were also present.
These two Vice Presidents were not simple. They were the only two Class A Guild Presidents in Jinghai City. The Giant Gods Guild had deep roots and was an old guild. On the other hand, the Radiant Guild was a rising star and had just entered the Class A Guild last year.
Wu Chonglian frowned and said, "Committee Member Li, you are too presumptuous."
"Why, only you can look for the President, but I can't?" Li Beihai was not to be outdone, "I am also a committee member. We are all of the same height. Who is afraid of who?"
Wu Chonglian snorted, "Why don't you take a look at the Super Gods Guild and see how badly you defeated them? Do you think you are worthy of being compared to us? "
"Nonsense!" Li Beihai glared.
Yang Yongkang rubbed his white hair, "Alright, alright, stop arguing … Committee Member Li, why are you looking for me?"
Li Beihai smiled like a grizzly bear, "Nothing much, just a small matter. President, have you seen the application I submitted the day before yesterday? "
"Application?" Yang Yongkang was slightly confused.
Li Beihai frowned, "The application to participate in the exploration of the North Qiu Desert. Why, didn't you see it?"
Yang Yongkang frowned and said, "Is there such a thing?" He looked at the two Vice Presidents.
Fu Yiping coughed and said, "Yes, I was the one who handled it. Super Gods are not up to standard, so I rejected them. "
Li Beihai glared at him. "Fu Yiping! What right do you have to reject my application? " Originally, Fu Yiping was one generation older than him and belonged to the same generation as Old Master Li. However, when Li Beihai's temper flared up, he didn't care about anything else.
Fu Yiping frowned. Beside him, Wu Chonglian sneered and said, "Why? I should be asking you this question instead. What qualifications do you Super Gods have to accept a B-rank guild quest? Last year, your guild's main team ranked last in the B-division. Don't you know? "
Li Beihai shouted angrily, "Yes, last year we were ranked last, but so what? Was there a rule that stated that the lower ranked guilds in the B-Division Tournament couldn't accept B-Rank missions? Fu Yiping, my application is for the president. Remember, it's for the real president, not you, the deputy! What qualifications do you have to unilaterally reject my application? "
Originally, Fu Yiping didn't want to bicker with Li Beihai due to his status. However, after being pointed at by Li Beihai time and time again, Fu Yiping could no longer keep his face. He coldly scolded, "According to the rules, other than the A-division guilds, only the B-division guilds are qualified to accept a B-rank guild quest. As for the bottom-ranked guilds, it would be best for them to recognize the gap between them and stop looking for trouble. "
"Bullshit! You are clearly abusing your position to avenge a private grudge!" Li Beihai said.
Old Yao chimed in, "The Awakened Association does not have any written rule stating that only the B-division guilds can accept a B-rank guild quest …"
Wu Chonglian rudely interrupted, "Do you have the right to speak here?"
Yang Yongkang waved his hand and said, "Enough … … stop arguing!"
The Guild Leader's office fell silent.
Yang Yongkang turned to Li Beihai and said, "Beihai, Guild Leader Fu is only doing this for the sake of safety. After all, you also know that the first round of exploration of the new treasure zone contains unknown dangers. Additionally, you cannot return at will. If you do not have sufficient strength, you might encounter mishaps when you enter. "
Li Beihai said, "Guild Leader, I know there is danger. However, in terms of strength, our Super Gods are not weak this year! Have you seen the competition half a month ago? Our guild's White Phoenix Battle Team has a total of four high-level Hero Class players! Such a configuration is unique in the entire B-division. What's wrong with exploring the treasure zone? "
Wu Chonglian sneered and said, "After just one match, your tail is already wagging to the sky? A temporary team formed by a few rookies will show its true colors after a few matches. "
Knock knock.
Bai Xiaowen gently knocked on the table. Psionic power field spread out and a powerful wave of psionic particles was emitted.
The few people in the room all looked over.
If a low-level Awakened's Psionic Particle fluctuations were a gentle breeze, then a Level 7 Hero class' Psionic Force Field emitted a Psionic Force Field at full strength was like a howling gale. The pressure it exuded was like a volcano that was about to erupt. It was heart-palpitating.
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "I shouldn't be speaking. However, since Guild Leader Wu mentioned the White Phoenix Battle Team, I have to say something."
Yang Yongkang's attitude towards Bai Xiaowen was surprisingly good. "Captain Xiao Bai is the rising star of our Jinghai Base City. If you have anything to say, feel free to say it."
Bai Xiaowen nodded to Yang Yongkang to express his gratitude. He then said, "First of all, there is no explicit rule stating that guilds with poor results in previous years cannot accept B-rank guild missions. The Guild Leader has just said that the reason for such an unspoken rule is for safety reasons. In other words, based on the current strength of a guild, it will determine whether or not they have the qualifications to accept B-rank missions. "
Yang Yongkang nodded and then said with a wry smile, "Captain Xiao Bai, there is one thing you don't know. The number of people who can enter the new treasure land in the first round is limited. The spatial stone in the new treasure land has not been activated yet. The portal formed by the spatial rift is not stable. According to the current psionic particle intensity monitoring, it will allow at most three teams, which is 15 people, to enter. Any more and it may cause the spatial rift to collapse. "
Bai Xiaowen's eyes flashed. "Three teams? Which three? "
Yang Yongkang said, "The Giant Gods Guild and the Radiance Guild have already applied. Other than these two A-rank guilds, there is Guild Leader Wu's Guild of Excellence. According to the past results, the Guild of Excellence's main team is the strongest team below A-rank in Jinghai City. Therefore, I have already approved their application. "
If an A-rank guild had also accepted this B-rank mission, it meant that the rewards of this mission were indeed rich. Even the A-rank guilds with large businesses were tempted.
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about the two A-rank guilds for now. However, isn't it too early to say who will be the strongest team below A-rank in Jinghai City?"
"Arrogant!" Wu Chonglian shouted. "Your White Phoenix team, compared to the main team of the Super Gods, is only a little stronger. You will not be able to enter the playoffs at all!"
"Guild Leader Wu thinks that my team's strength is not good enough?" Bai Xiaowen smiled. "What a coincidence. I think the main team of the Guild of Excellence is just a bunch of trash. If the Guild of Excellence is qualified to participate in the treasure land exploration, then the White Phoenix team is of course even more qualified. "
"Ignorant." Wu Chonglian heavily snorted. "Bai Xiaowen, you can only be proud for these few days. The Guild of Excellence and your White Phoenix team will meet at the end of this month. When that time comes, let's see if you can still smile. "
The Guild of Excellence and the White Phoenix team both belonged to the southeast division and were from the same city. It was only a matter of time before they met.
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "I didn't expect Guild Leader Wu to be so concerned about our new team. You even remember the competition schedule so clearly. You must have spent a lot of effort to collect information on us, right? "
Wu Chonglian was slightly startled. He then snorted and said, "Is a team like yours worth our Guild of Excellence's effort? Don't be so full of yourself. "
Bai Xiaowen said leisurely, "Why don't we make a bet? At the competition at the end of the month, if our White Phoenix team wins, the Guild of Excellence will give up the exploration of the new treasure land and transfer the authority to our Super Gods. Guild Leader Wu, do you dare to bet? "
Wu Chonglian hesitated for a second and said, "What will you do if you lose?"
Bai Xiaowen said, "Super Gods will give up the application for this B-rank mission."
Wu Chonglian shook his head. "You don't have the qualifications to begin with. If you lose, you won't lose anything. Only a fool would bet with you."
"Then how do you want to bet?" Bai Xiaowen said.
Wu Chonglian shook his head. "Bai Xiaowen, you opened a shop in the virtual lobby, right? If our Guild of Excellence wins, we can choose an item from your shop for free. Do you dare to bet? "
Bai Xiaowen narrowed his eyes. "Okay."
Li Beihai and Old Monster's expressions changed. They said almost at the same time, "No!"
Bai Xiaowen waved his hand to stop them. He said calmly, "I agree to this bet. President, please be the witness. "
Yang Yongkang's white eyebrows frowned slightly. He said, "Captain Xiao Bai, don't you want to think about it more?"
Bai Xiaowen smiled. "I've already thought about it very clearly."
Yang Yongkang wanted to say something more, but Wu Chonglian interrupted and said, "Then it's settled. President Yang and President Fu, please be the witnesses. On the 28th of this month, the Guild of Excellence and the White Phoenix team will make a bet. If the White Phoenix team wins, the Guild of Excellence will withdraw from this B-rank mission and give the right to participate to the White Phoenix team. If our Guild of Excellence wins, we can choose an item from Bai Xiaowen's shop for free. "
Fu Yiping coughed. His lips moved as if he was whispering into Wu Chonglian's ear.
Wu Chonglian immediately added, "Also, to prevent people from taking advantage of this loophole, Bai Xiaowen's shop's current inventory will be used as the basis. During this period of time, Bai Xiaowen is not allowed to take the goods off the shelves without permission!"
Yang Yongkang saw Bai Xiaowen's determined face. He could only shake his head and agree to be the witness. The bet was established.
Wu Chonglian was in a good mood. He chuckled. "Li Beihai, let's wait and see about the competition on the 28th."
Everyone split into two groups and left President Yang Yongkang's office.
Li Beihai, Old Monster, and Bai Xiaowen left first. They started the car downstairs. After there were no outsiders, Li Beihai sighed. "Xiao Bai, you've been too rash in this bet."
Old Monster said, "Wu Chonglian's goal is very clear."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "Yes, he probably has his eyes on the dark gold shoulder pads hanging in my shop."
"Who wouldn't be envious of such top-grade dark gold equipment?" Old Monster sighed. "Speaking of which, the qualification for a B-rank mission is far less valuable than dark gold equipment. Xiao Bai, this bet is a bit of a loss. "
Although exploring a treasure trove and obtaining a Space Stone would give them a very high profit in the future, it was just the qualification. There was no guarantee that they would be able to obtain a Space Stone. After all, there were still two teams from A-rank guilds competing.
"Actually, I've already used that dark gold shoulder pads," Bai Xiaowen said honestly.
"Ah?!" Li Beihai and Old Monster widened their eyes.
Bai Xiaowen looked innocent. "I fed it to Butcher. All attributes + 20 for 24 hours. I relied on Butcher's help to kill the Level 8 leader, Zuo Yunxuan. "
Hiss, hiss …
Two gasps of cold air.
Li Beihai said, "Kid, you're really generous. You threw away more than a million Psionic Energy points just like that."
Bai Xiaowen chuckled. "This is called investment."
"You're gambling, right? What if you don't kill that Lord? Won't you suffer a huge loss?" Li Beihai stared and said, "The golden beeswax used for that dark gold shoulder pads is worth 200,000 Psionic Energy points. You worked so hard to seal it, only to feed it to the dogs."
Bai Xiaowen smiled and said, "I have no choice. If I don't seal it, I can't scan it and put it on the shelves. Actually, after such a long time, the number of customers and popularity attracted by the dark gold shoulder pads has far exceeded 200,000 Psionic Energy points. Without such a treasure, how could my shop become an A-rank shop in just a year? "
After a pause, Bai Xiaowen said, "Guild Master, you said it was a gamble. I agree with that … Anyway, I've never lost a bet."
Old Monster said worriedly, "Although you've used the actual equipment, you still have the dark gold equipment in your virtual shop. The bet requires you to not take it off the shelves. If you lose and the other party asks for the equipment, you won't be able to produce it. In the end, you'll have to pay the equivalent Psionic Energy points or Psionic items. "
Bai Xiaowen nodded and said, "Yes, if I lose, of course I won't go back on my word. But … I can't lose. "
Bai Xiaowen continued, "Since there's no possibility of losing, can't you bet whatever you want? Even if it's my head, I'll agree. "
"Go, go, go. Nonsense."
Li Beihai thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I stopped you because other than thinking that it's too rash to bet a dark gold equipment, I also felt that it's a little inappropriate."
"Why is it inappropriate?" Bai Xiaowen asked.
"If you win the bet, it's the guild's profit. If you lose, it's your loss. So, I feel that it's not right. "Li Beihai was indeed an honest person, or rather, he was very honest in front of Bai Xiaowen." How about this, if you lose, the guild will pay for it. "
Bai Xiaowen shook his head and said, "Guild Master, you're wrong. If I win the bet, it's also my team's profit. In the end, the qualification to join the elite team will be transferred to the White Phoenix team. "
"Okay …"
