Chapter 1495: Adding More Stakes
Faced with these requests, Shui Xisheng refused without hesitation. He knew that Digital Phantom was used to keeping a low profile and he did not like these.
But then, he faced a new temptation.
Hook of the Dyson Consortium offered a high price of 50 billion and wanted to name and host a reception banquet - all of which would be paid for with energy blocks.
Shui Xisheng was very determined, but... the other party gave too much, so he asked the two distinguished guests.
Jing Yuexin was a little hesitant, "Boss, just one meal... If you kill ten supremes, you may not be able to get 50 billion easily."
A person with the highest net worth is likely to exceed 5 billion, but it is not easy to realize it...
The team has trillions of energy stone mines, but it takes years and months to mine them, and this is just one meal.
It’s actually more expensive than Buffett’s meal! Qu Jianlei smiled, "Where is the supreme dignity?"
The invitation from the Dyson consortium is not difficult to refuse, but it is very difficult to refuse the invitation from the Carnegie consortium.
This consortium ranks among the top ten in the empire. They directly took out a magic weapon and planned to host a banquet to receive the Digital Phantom.
The magic weapon currently in the empire is not only extremely expensive, but also cannot be bought with money at all!
Of course, it is impossible for the Carnegie Corporation to bring out a magic weapon worth trillions just for a banquet.
Not only did they ask for a title, but they also invited Digital Phantom to become their partner.
They did not promise related income - since they are partners, the annual income is not a commission, but a share.
This is a means of deep binding, but it does not rule out that it is a way of publicity.
Qu Jianlei has seen this kind of marketing routine before on Blue Star, and in the Empire, this is not a rare thing.
The left and right are just building momentum. Although the empire pays attention to information barriers, this is the Internet age after all.
However, Qu Jianlei was not interested, but he could feel that Jing Yuexin was a little moved.
It's not a matter of a magic weapon. The key is that the Carnegie Corporation expressed its willingness to donate to a university.
They also knew that it was impossible for a college to be named after a digital phantom, so they planned to name it - Yuexin College.
Or Jingyue Academy. Anyway, it was Jing Yuexin’s idea.
After all, among the people who have been exposed by Digital Phantom, Shu Jing Yuexin is the most popular.
Dogan is also well-known, and is highly regarded in the highest circles.
But compared to Jing Yuexin's statistics and legend, that's not even close, not to mention that she is famous for her beauty.
As for naming it after Zhenshan Fort? This person's resume in the military... Anyway, the Carnegie Corporation does not want to irritate the military.
The key is that everyone knows that Jing Yuexin came to Panshi this time.
Qu Jianlei thought for a while and finally said, "If you really want to be the principal, I will support it... and you can pass it on to future generations."
It may be difficult for such privately built institutions of higher learning to be completely hereditary, but it is normal for them to be passed down to two or three generations.
In particular, Jing Yuexin still has five hundred years to live, enough to leave a deep enough personal mark on the college.
"Heh," Jing Yuexin chuckled, "What about you?"
"Of course I will protect you," Qu Jianlei replied lightly, "Even if I go to the world of immortality, I may come back."
Jing Yuexin stood up suddenly, "I'm going to kill those bastards from the Carnegie Foundation!"
"Come on," Qu Jianlei shook his head, "It's all just acting... Life is like a drama, if you take it seriously, you will lose."
Jing Yuexin turned her head and asked seriously, "What about you? Are you acting too?"
"I can't act," Qu Jianlei spread his hands, "I can only enjoy grudges."
"Me too," Jing Yuexin looked at him seriously, "If you dare to leave me behind, I will overextend all my lifespan and I will kill you!"
Qu Jianlei shook his head helplessly, "You'll be a real Nascent Soul soon, okay? You have a lot of life to live, so why don't you have some!"
At this moment, Shui Xisheng came in, "That, that, that, that... Lord Put is here."
"Just come," Qu Jianlei said nonchalantly, "It's nothing more than a supreme leader, let's see what you can do."
"He's pretty good," Putt said, pushing the door open and entering without looking outside.
"When other people see me, if they can speak, they are considered to be very bold. Don't you have such a high level of vision, okay?"
Qu Jianlei rolled his eyes at him, "Go out, knock on the door and then come in!"
Put was really obedient. Although he was stunned for a moment, he still knocked on the door after going out and got permission before coming in again.
This guy, even though he was the top military expert in the past, has a higher eye than his head, but he is not the kind of blind and arrogant person.
When it was time to let go, he would definitely... at least be able to let it go appropriately.
Anyway, after he came in, he sat down quietly and spoke with a smile.
"We have preliminarily tested the formation you provided...it is cleverly conceived and has great potential, very great!"
Or should I say that this guy has something up his sleeve? The initial version of the formation was definitely not satisfactory, and the energy conversion efficiency was still too low.
He did not blindly praise it, but emphasized that it was cleverly conceived, but he also pointed out that it has huge development potential.
When scratching, you must scratch the itch, and the intensity must be moderate. If it bleeds, that would be too much.
Even if Qu Jianlei has a weird temperament, he won't be able to get angry when facing this kind of master - everything they said is right!
So he just said lightly, "We can continue to study in the future, but it will consume too much manpower and material resources, and it is not worth it."
"Anyway, it's the empire's business, not our family's, so I dedicated it to the empire."
"Dedicate to the Empire?" Put's face sank when he heard it, "Boss, I don't like what you said."
"You can come up with this set of things. Not to mention how you fight in the front, the expenses in the rear are inevitable, right?"
"How can the Empire take such things for free? There must be some expression, otherwise, won't it make everyone feel disappointed?"
"Hehe," Qu Jianlei smiled disapprovingly and was too lazy to answer.
When I was Jian Lei, Heitian, Panda or Ran Bingluan, wouldn't such things be taken away for free?
At that time, I was hiding my identity and fleeing to the ends of the earth, okay?
It's only when the Empire finds that the cost of robbing is too high that it will take the initiative to express something, right?
But this kind of thing can't be calculated, the jungle society is originally like this.
However, Put said that he was not talking nonsense, "Well, the military intends to give you some rewards, please don't refuse."
"Let me say one thing," Jing Yuexin spoke. She was just arguing with the boss and was in a bad mood.
"Whether to give or not is your business, whether to take or not is our business... Don't refuse, is this an order to us?"
"You worry too much," Putt smiled, "I know, you must think I'm being polite, right?"
"Then let's do something practical, two magic weapons?" Jing Yuexin smiled slightly.
The Carnegie Consortium announced that it would take out a magic weapon and cooperate with Digital Phantom, and the news has spread to the upper echelons.
"We can't afford magic weapons," Putt said very bluntly, "but don't you lack other resources?"
"Who dares to say that they don't lack resources?" Jing Yuexin said lightly.
Then she raised her chin, "But you can't afford it, and we don't plan to ask for money for the formation, just take it, don't talk nonsense!"
She really didn't want to make anything from the military-the military's hand is not bad, but it can't give too much.
The key is that this set of formations was designed to resist alien races and to contribute to the human race.
If the military took it for nothing, she would definitely be unhappy, but she really didn't care about anything.
All she wanted was an attitude. It was enough for the military to have this attitude.
"Don't," Putt waved his hand and said seriously, "This time we are serious."
"You asked the military for a planet for testing, but isn't it a bit desolate there?"
"We can contact them on your behalf and designate you as the ruling chief of a habitable planet."
Qu Jianlei and Jing Yuexin were stunned when they heard this. Is there such a good thing?
After a long time, Jing Yuexin frowned and asked, "Is the ruling chief of the planet... so casual?"
Although she is above the highest, cultivation is cultivation, and the ability and recognition of governing society are purely two systems.
Putt replied disapprovingly, "It's just a false name, mainly to facilitate your actions on the habitable planet."
"We are all focused on cultivation, and we can't have time to deal with those social affairs."
"Specific affairs can be handled by the deputy ruling chief. Of course, if you are interested, you can also take care of it yourself."
He said "I can take care of it myself", but the three people in the conversation knew that this was simply impossible.
Let alone whether there is time or not, the ability to manage official institutions cannot be cultivated overnight.
So what he meant was that Digital Phantom could become the emperor of that planet.
Not only would he not be influenced by others, but if there was a need, he could also arrange for the government to cooperate with them.
But Jing Yuexin was not a rookie, she asked in a deep voice, "What about our responsibilities and obligations to the planet?"
"No requirements," Putt waved his hand and answered very straightforwardly, "It all depends on your mood."
This issue has been seriously discussed within the military. As the governor of a planet, it is impossible to just enjoy rights!
Even if Digital Phantom only enjoys a false name, it is impossible - when you encounter trouble, you must be responsible.
In fact, the military has taken a lot of risks in making this suggestion.
A team that is so strong that it controls a planet, will it become an uncontrolled local force over time?
After they carefully analyzed the style of Digital Phantom, they were finally sure that the team did not have such ambitions.
In essence, it is a force with super strength and research capabilities, and its main concern is to improve itself and research the cultivation system.
Unless necessary, they basically don't care about anything outside.
It is precisely because of this cognition that the military will make suggestions to the government to consider such operations.
When the planet they are on encounters something... It's not necessary to talk about small things, but if it's a big thing, these people will not sit idly by.
