Chapter 937 Price
For a moment, Liz's eyes became colder and colder.
As the person in charge who has been given full power, if Huai Shi bypasses her and reaches an agreement directly with Izzy on this matter, no matter what the outcome, her position will probably be very embarrassing.
The simplest thing is that it is difficult to get rid of the "incompetent" hat.
Even if Izzy Hector is her uncle, he probably won't embarrass her, but who knows what his uncle will do when he has a brain convulsion?
You must know that Mamakyria is quite indulgent towards her high priest.
The noble goddess who is known as the doting mother likes nothing more than to raise the children she cares about, and she can be called a nurturing madman. And the people who can be valued by her are, without exception, almost all rare heroes and once-in-a-century villains. Otherwise there wouldn't be such a weirdo as Izzy.
What's worse is, what if, what if, what if... Mamakyria feels that Huai Shi has a "promising future" and wants to train her?
The American adoptive mother turned her elbows outward, something all children would suffer a little bit.
Liz frowned and asked solemnly: "Are you threatening me, Huai Shi?"
"You know, I have always respected you...Okay, I'm sorry, I can understand your displeasure with me. In fact, I really want to apologize to you, and it's okay to retreat.
But unfortunately, this is not just about me. "
Huaishi raised her hands in surrender, thought for a moment, and seriously suggested: "What do you think? For the second phase of Dambo's construction, I have decided to increase the number of loans to Bank of America, and give priority to your Rongguan Group when bidding. How about that?" ?I’ve wanted to build a luxury hotel in the city center for a long time.”
"Is this your price?"
Liz couldn't help but laugh.
Perhaps, this may be a huge ritual for ordinary people, but for American genealogy, it is not worth mentioning at all!
"Not to the American pedigree, just to you."
Huaishi replied solemnly, "No matter how you feel, I think that before we officially start, I must apologize to you - you can accept it, um, the old debt between you and me will be calculated separately and treated as interest." how?"
Liz was stunned.
"Wow, your name in my city? That sounds great!"
Outside the negotiation table, the hidden projection of Quetzalcoatl laughed softly, and sighed to Russell next to him: "Who did he learn this way of spending a lot of money to apologize?"
"This is not what I taught you."
The white bear holding the beer had an innocent look on his face and spread his hands: "It's probably the nature of a scumbag, he can teach himself without a teacher."
"But it's really beautiful, isn't it?"
Feathered Serpent clicked his tongue and sighed: "After expressing my position, I seized the opponent's weakness and tested the pressure. At the same time, I took the lead in making amends to prevent the opponent from using the excuse... If I were an ordinary girl, don't say Other than that, I will forgive him even if he cheats on me behind my back, haha."
"Don't look at everyone as a conspirator, okay?" Russell sighed: "I think he may just want to apologize."
"This is the most difficult part, Russell."
Feathered Serpent shook his head and said with emotion: "If it's just a conspiracy or a negotiation strategy, who can be easily moved by those who have a firm stance?
But it is this kind of unabashed kindness and sincerity that makes people feel scared... It's like the kind of guy who is kind to everyone and gentle to everyone. He obviously doesn't pay intentionally, but it makes people feel scared... People have the illusion that they are special. "
Such simple kindness, such sincere attitude, coupled with such terrifying contagion, in a sense, it is extremely dangerous.
Indifference and vicious intrigue are nothing new to sophisticated people. In this cruel world, this is the norm.
Therefore, everyone is accustomed to comparing every dollar and every penny, and is accustomed to intrigues.
And that kind of kindness is like a poison, causing people to unknowingly give up their guard, easily open the blocked door, and fall into passivity.
Even if the problem cannot be fundamentally solved.
But there are many things that, once we start talking about them, they are bound to be discussed...
Letting Liz preside over the negotiations is exactly the most disadvantageous thing for her!
The more familiar people are with Huai Shi, the more they should be able to understand the nature of this guy. Anyone who has never dealt with Huai Shi will probably not fall for his tricks.
"You guys are also evil-minded." Russell looked over sideways.
"To each other, aren't we?"
The feathered serpent shook his head indifferently: "I just left a piece of work on the American genealogy to my subordinates, but you bet the first appearance of the heavenly genealogy on your students. In terms of courage, I am not as good as you -"
"What can a rich man with a big family and a rich business do compared with a poor homeless man?"
Russell chuckled softly and looked at the negotiation table: "Now that the chips have been placed, it depends on the children. Whether it succeeds or not, we can always look forward to the future, right?"
"The future."
The feathered snake sighed softly and said no more.
At the negotiation table, Huai Shi asked again: "Now it seems that we can start the next stage of negotiations?"
"What? Are you going to make a bid and agree on the conditions?"
Liz seemed to have already understood the process taught by Russell and was not moved at all. "What price do you have to shake the American pedigree? Huaishi, don't think too highly of yourself."
"Don't worry, I always know how much I weigh."
Huai Shi smiled and suddenly asked: "I heard that the Ivy League seems to be working on something called a 'solar calendar stone' these years?"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a dead silence in the entire vault.
Not only Huai Shi, but also Douglas noticed the chill on Liz's body, as well as the vague... murderous intention!
The old man in the wheelchair suddenly changed his expression.
Heart twitching.
The look in Huai Shi's eyes was extremely shocked and angry.
Even if he doesn't know what a 'solar calendar stone' is, it is obviously an important project involving the American genealogy, and it is definitely a secret among secrets!
It was obvious that what Huai Shi said was no longer within the scope of what they, a wallflower, could hear.
Talking about this in front of them is tantamount to putting a knife on their necks. No matter what the consequences are, I am afraid that these people present will have to pay a heavy price.
Don’t you people of the heavenly lineage have any martial virtues at all?
He spoke in a trembling voice: "Your Highness, please request for withdrawal..."
"No need, Mr. Douglas."
Liz glanced at him and said expressionlessly: "Just cooperate with Ivy to do a memory screening later. I just hope you can know how precious my compassion is."
It is true that as Huai Shi said, the [Solar Calendar Stone] is a huge project that Ivy has been secretly carrying out slowly over the years. It essentially involves a huge exploration of the major secrets of the American genealogy and future strategic plans.
It is impossible to keep such a huge project completely airtight, but the rumors are only limited to a few people at the top of the Wuchang and the top of the Astronomical Society.
Just like the location of the Dragon Veins of Eastern Xia, the location of the Holy Coffin of the Russian Federation, the Land of Wolf Blood in Rome and the secret rituals of the tombs of the Egyptian pharaohs... Let alone knowing the content, if you are not qualified, even if you hear this name All are sentenced to life imprisonment or even physical destruction.
The smiling guy opposite knew this very well.
He just saw that the old man was unhappy and wanted to torment them a few times.
But Liz had no intention of letting him get his wish.
"Huai Shi, I admire the intelligence channels of Ivory Tower, but this is not something that can be discussed casually." Liz warned word for word: "You have to know what you are talking about."
"Then say something you can say."
Huai Shi held her chin up and happily changed the topic: "For example, that... immortality machine you took away from the Land of Twilight?"
He personally participated in the entire finishing process of Twilight Village.
Is there any reason why I don’t know what the Ivy League did and what it took away? It's just that after destroying the heart of the eternal freezing furnace, I'm too lazy to pursue those details.
Moreover, he was not worried that Ivy would misuse such technology.
Behind the American lineage stands one and a half living gods, who secretly have their own hells. Abnormal things that can be seen everywhere consume them without any psychological pressure at all.
You would only do experiments on living people if your brain is crazy.
In this regard, he has already deduced after communicating with Grand Master Mikhail that the Ivy League probably wants to crack these technologies and apply them on the solar calendar stone.
But as for the true body of the solar calendar stone, the Grand Master was also at a loss. He only guessed based on long-term clues that it was probably a strategic-level hell weapon with the lowest pedigree in America.
If it could be combined with an energy device like the 'Eternal Life Machine', it would definitely be of great benefit, right?
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in that kind of thing, and I don't plan to recover it from America - don't look at me like this, there are still people in the Survival Institute who owe me favors."
Huai Shi knocked on the table and continued: "But you must have a headache, right? There is no progress in reverse cracking or anything.
Although the art of casting and alchemy are at the same level, the accessory equipment of the immortal machine, which is highly connected to the core of the eternal freezing furnace, is not so easy to handle. "
When he smiled, his expression was extremely gloating.
As the only caster in the current situation, Huaishi knows it too well!
It is true that the 'immortal machine' cannot bring true immortality, it only transforms the user into eternal pain and mire from which he cannot escape.
But in essence, this is a technology that turns solidified souls into source matter batteries, a method of producing renewable, pollution-free energy... It definitely involves the technology of more than one casting king.
Not to mention how difficult it would be to recreate all of this without the collaboration of the Suncasters.
"It's been so long, how much have you mastered?" Huaishi guessed: "Ten percent? Twenty? No, with Ivy's technical ability, it should be around 70%, right?"
He paused and said solemnly: "Please tell the researchers that we have reached the limit of what alchemy can simulate and understand so quickly, which is worthy of the Ivy League.
It's a pity that from now on, it will no longer be the field of alchemy..."
That is a great crystallization that belongs to the casters!
If you want to reproduce it, it is not easy to do.
Liz retorted coldly, "We can handle it."
"Yes, it can certainly be done. Nothing is difficult in the world, as long as it is cost-effective. But are you willing to invest such a large amount of resources and gamble on the outcome?
In fact, as long as there is a great master with the corresponding major, it will be no problem at all, but which great master would be willing to change his research direction because of this kind of thing, and then spend more than forty years studying it again? "
Especially recently there have been two missing Grand Masters.
There is simply a shortage of manpower.
No matter how great the American family is, it is impossible for them to squander and consume the great master like a tool man like the sublimator on this kind of thing.
“So, a good Samaritan who was passing by and happened to be the only caster in the world made a suggestion.”
Huai Shi smiled, showing eight teeth, so standard and shining: "Want to help?"
In an instant, Douglas's expression suddenly changed and he opened his mouth to speak.
But the invisible pressure in the air came, oppressing his declining consciousness, making it difficult for him to make a sound.
Only the heart is cold.
