Aoki frowned. That was impolite, especially for trainers.
Every trainer would have their own experiments to some extent, and they would create their own formulas. That rash question was trespassing on a trainer's privacy. If the trainer were powerful or influential, he would have turned hostile and started a fight.
"Grandpa!!" Before Aoki could say anything, Xiao Qian was the first to shout.
Xiao Qian was a sensible girl. She knew how rude her grandpa was. Besides, Aoki was a friend she had brought home. How could her grandpa question him like that?
Xiao Qian's grandpa didn't answer her. He stared at Aoki, waiting for an answer.
"Hmm! Grandpa! I'm not talking to you anymore! "Xiao Qian snorted and crossed her arms in front of her chest.
Aoki looked back at her grandpa without hesitation. There was no emotion in his eyes.
That was the weakness of a civilian trainer. When faced with a large family, there was no equal status. Even an intermediate trainer would only be a little bit better than an average trainer, but only by a little bit.
"I developed it myself." Aoki's voice was somewhat cold.
Anyone would be angry after being treated like that. That was why the old man didn't get angry.
He stared at Aoki as if trying to remember everything about him.
"Ha, ha, I'm sorry. I'm old and I like to ask stupid questions. Young man, please don't mind." All of a sudden, the old man laughed. He changed from a fierce warrior to a kind grandpa.
Aoki sneered to himself. But he didn't show it on his face. The old man had apologized, but Aoki knew perfectly well what the old man's intention was.
"Ahem, ahem. Well, my name is Havard. I'm the current owner of the training hall in Manjin City. I'm Xiao Qian's grandpa."
Havard coughed a few times to ease the awkwardness. For someone of his age, he had seen all kinds of situations.
"I know about the deal between Little Qian and you. I've also seen the Intermediate Energy Cube. It's indeed very suitable for our milk jug. After eating it, our milk jug's milk output has increased by 30%."
Aoki's Energy Cube was so powerful that even he was a little surprised. This was the first time he had heard of an Energy Cube that could specifically increase a sprite's milk production.
"I'd like to ask if you're willing to sell your formula. I'm willing to buy it for 30 million Alliance dollars!" Havard said after beating around the bush.
Thirty million Alliance coins!
For those civilian trainers who had not seen the world, this was a huge sum of money. As long as they had 30 million Alliance dollars as a starting fund, it was possible for them to reach the level of an elite trainer if they put all their efforts into training one sprite, even if they didn't dare to say too much.
If they actively participated in some missions in the Alliance, they might be able to change their fate and become a direct trainer of the Alliance. However, the difficulty of doing so stopped 99% of the sprite trainers.
Aoki shook his head. Although 30 million Alliance dollars was a huge sum of money, he knew that if he continued to make money, he would definitely earn more than that. Moreover, he was not lacking in money. The total assets that he had now were more than 30 million Alliance dollars.
Havard was a little surprised that Aoki rejected him without hesitation. 30 million Alliance dollars was definitely a huge sum of money for civilians.
However, Aoki rejected him. What could he do? He couldn't possibly snatch it from him, right? If no one knew about this, it would be fine. However, if this matter was exposed, the Alliance would not be a monolithic block. Their political opponents would be very willing to hit them when they were down. Who knew how many people were resentful towards them for controlling the milk jug race?
They weren't like the Joey and Jun Sha Clans, who were influential in the entire Alliance. They only had some say in Manjin City.
After pondering for a while, Havard continued, "How about this, young man? No matter how many energy cubes you make in the future, we will buy all of them. As a condition, we can buy them for 120 Alliance dollars each."
Some of the excellent milk cans they nurtured had to eat a lot of energy cubes every day. This way, the milk produced would have a higher value. It was specially targeted at the high-end crowd. The moo milk that existed on the market was only produced by ordinary milk cans after eating grass. The nutritional value was not at that level.
The profits from this were not something that could be offset by 20 Alliance dollars. That was why Havard was very good at doing business.
"I want a copy of the milk jug's training manual."
It could be said that no family in the world knew how to train the milk jugs better than Aoki. They had done a lot of research in all aspects. Although they wouldn't give him their most precious training methods, even if it was the most basic, it would be much better than Aoki trying to figure it out himself.
Originally, Aoki didn't have to say what he wanted directly. However, since the other party wanted to make a deal with him, Aoki wouldn't reject.
Those big families often had too many scruples. Even if he was a commoner with no background, they wouldn't choose to make a move directly. If they could solve it peacefully, they wouldn't use violence.
The premise was that it didn't affect their fundamental interests.
"Okay!" Havard didn't hesitate and agreed to Aoki's request.
Anyway, it was just a simple training manual. He believed that Aoki wouldn't ask for the secret stuff.
"Hmph! Are you done? Are you happy? Are you done talking? Aoki, let's go! "At this moment, Little Qian jumped up and pulled Aoki out.
Aoki didn't resist and followed them out. He saw through this benevolent-looking old man better than anyone else. There were many people like him in the Alliance. They occupied half of the Alliance's territory. It could be said that the Alliance's corruption had a lot to do with them. They were already rotten and were the Alliance's parasites!
After Little Qian and Aoki left the study room, Uncle Li walked in and looked at Havard. He asked softly, "Master, is this okay?"
Havard kept the smile on his face and took out a detailed document from the drawer. If Aoki was here, he would be able to see it. This was the complete information about his identity in the Alliance. In just one afternoon, everything was investigated.
"It's just a small amount of money. This kid is really something. The youngsters in the Alliance are getting more and more impressive. The distant ones are like that kid from the Yu Long Family and the recent ones are like that kid just now. He must be hiding something. However, with our strength, we can't find the real information. It's better not to go overboard." Havard looked at Aoki's information and sighed.
