Chapter 235: Chapter 234: What if it’s the True Qi Pill Formula (Subscribe Please)

"Chang Fei, are you an idiot?" Elder Tang couldn’t hold back anymore, "Three billion contribution points, isn’t that price high enough?"

"High, but it’s still not enough."

Chang Fei sighed lightly.

"What do you mean?"

Elder Tang was puzzled, then loudly said, "Chang Fei, stop playing word games with me here, just say what you mean directly."

Chang Fei showed a hint of helplessness on his face.

This Elder Tang, in front of so many people, doesn’t even know to leave him some dignity.

Luckily, he’s already used to it, this is just how it is.

Besides, Elder Tang’s advocacy for choosing the second option was also from the association’s perspective, to strive for more benefits for the association.

Only, at this time, choosing the second option might be a short-sighted act.

He squinted his eyes and gazed at Chen Fan: "Brother Chen, if I’m not mistaken, you dare to propose the second condition, you must have already prepared a countermeasure in your heart?"

"Does the president think that I would tamper with the pill formula?" Chen Fan asked.

"This should not be the case."

Chang Fei shook his head, "Whether the pill formula is authentic or not can be seen at a glance, and I see that your every move is genuine, unlike someone who would resort to unscrupulous activities."

"The president has a good eye." Chen Fan smiled.

"..."

Xia Tian and the others felt a bit speechless upon hearing this.

This is praising both oneself and the other party.

A bit shameless.

"Brother Chen, praise indeed."

Chang Fei smiled, "Honestly speaking, when you proposed the second condition, I was immediately tempted, even at the price of three billion, acquiring the pill formula from An Ning is a profitable deal for the headquarters."

"Then why did the president change his mind?"

"To recruit talent, of course."

Chang Fei said, "Your asking price is indeed high, even unique within the association, but it truly is worth it, the headquarters is willing to do this to earn your trust in the association."

Elder Tang, listening with a sour heart, couldn’t help but lament the changing times.

He, and those few, all worked with the intention of benefiting the association and fighting for the rise of the human race. The association had expressed willingness to share profits from the Top-grade Qi Blood Pills with them, but they all refused without exception.

Yet this young man, with such high talent in alchemy, is so engrossed in money!

If everyone were like this, would the human race still prosper? Would there still be a future?

Chen Fan nodded.

"Moreover, I have a feeling."

Chang Fei’s voice continued: "If we choose the second condition this time, next time, I fear we won’t have the same choice opportunity."

"No same choice opportunity as today?"

"What do you mean?"

Xia Tian and Ye Ling frowned upon hearing this.

If the second condition is chosen, isn’t it already chosen?

"Chang Fei, can’t you be a bit clearer?" Elder Tang was also annoyed, "That young fellow Shi Tao is the same, always saying ambiguous things."

Chang Fei smiled, "Brother Chen should know what I’m talking about."

Chen Fan shook his head, "President, I don’t understand what you just said."

"Really?"

Chang Fei’s smile deepened.

It seems this young man is far more cunning than he imagined.

However, this confirms that his previous choice was correct.

"The headquarters president is indeed hard to handle."

Chen Fan thought to himself.

How could he not understand what Chang Fei meant?

The other side likely guessed his countermeasure.

Yes, the True Qi Pill.

If the association chooses not to share profits and directly buys out with three billion contribution points, he wouldn’t say anything.

But the True Qi Pill, after fusion, he would never hand it to the association.

After all, one must consider each other’s position, right?

"Brother Chen, if you have nothing more to add, then as per your previous proposal, the association will share thirty percent of the profits for each Top-grade Qi Blood Pill sold into your account."

"Alright."

Chen Fan agreed, "Then I will record the pill formula and specific procedures into a video and send it to the headquarters later."

"No need."

"Hmm?"

Chen Fan was puzzled, staring at Chang Fei, "No need?"

"That’s right."

Chang Fei smiled and looked at Xia Tian and Ye Ling behind him.

"Pack your things, later go back to the headquarters with Xia Tian and Ye Ling. Xia Tian, Ye Ling, put aside your current tasks, the priority is to ensure Brother Chen arrives at the headquarters safely. Can you do that?"

"No problem, President!" Ye Ling said with a serious expression.

"President, I, Xia Tian, promise that unless I die, I won’t let Brother Chen get hurt." Xia Tian said firmly.

Sun Wei showed a bit of reluctance, but also some relief.

He had long known this day would come.

With Chen Fan’s talent, how could he stay in the small Anshan City forever?

The headquarters is where he should go, where he can truly shine.

"Wait a minute."

Chen Fan raised his hand, puzzled, "President, when did I say I’m going to the headquarters?"

"???"

Everyone was stunned, even Chang Fei.

What’s going on? People always aim for higher places, this era has someone refusing to leave a small city for a large one?

"Brother Chen," Xia Tian smiled warmly, "The headquarters is in Jiangnan City, in terms of safety, Anshan City is nowhere close."

"Indeed, Brother Chen, Jiangnan City is heavily guarded, with A-level Awakened stationed there. Even if a Beast King-level fierce beast arrives, it can’t do anything. If you’re worried about not having friends there, don’t be, there are many Martial Artists your age at the headquarters, you won’t feel lonely." Ye Ling also smiled and advised.

"Young man," Although Elder Tang was displeased, his heart still hoped Chen Fan would come, partly to master the improved alchemy skills quickly, partly to save Chen Fan’s soul from being ’tainted’ by money.

"Do you know how many people, breaking their heads, still can’t enter Jiangnan City? I know you may feel comfortable in Anshan City now, but when you come to the headquarters, you’ll know what true comfort is."

"Brother Chen, if you have family in the city, the headquarters will also send someone to bring them here. You can be assured of that." Chang Fei smiled.

"Sorry, President."

Chen Fan still refused, "I can’t leave here now because I have unfinished business."

They looked at each other.

"Unfinished business?" Chang Fei was surprised, "Tell us, what it is. If the association can help, we’ll definitely assist you."

Sun Wei was also anxious, "Brother Chen, what could be more important than going to the headquarters? Tell me, I’ll handle it, you pack and go with Elder Xia to the headquarters."

Chen Fan shook his head.

What he referred to naturally was saving Meng Yu’s sister, Meng Xue.

A man’s promise cannot be left hanging.

As for letting the association handle this, it’s quite difficult since both parties aren’t from the same faction. Even if negotiations succeed, would the Awakened Association’s upper echelons ensure Anshan City’s people hand over Meng Xue obediently? No chance of a covert approach?

Besides, he didn’t feel at ease about his family and friends in the village.

More importantly, staying here allows him to refine the True Qi Pill peacefully, without worrying about interruptions.

At the headquarters...

Can he still refine pills peacefully? It’s questionable.

"President, I appreciate your kindness, but right now, I really can’t leave here."

"Kid, why are you so ungrateful?" Elder Tang was indignant, "Isn’t the headquarters a thousand times better than here? Huh? Isn’t it a thousand times better?"

"Alright, Elder Tang."

Chang Fei shook his head, sighed, "Brother Chen, have you really thought this through? Although Anshan City seems peaceful now, how long can this peace last? That’s the question."

"Sorry, President."

Chen Fan still chose to refuse.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Xia Tian and others didn’t know what to say.

Honestly, Chen Fan is the most unique person they have ever met.

Sun Wei was also anxious and couldn’t help but advise, "Brother Chen, the President and the others mean well, you..."

Chen Fan smiled at him.

"Sigh."

Sun Wei sighed, swallowing what he was about to say.

"Fine." Chang Fei was helpless, "If you ever change your mind, just let me know anytime, I’ll send someone to pick you up."

"Alright, thank you, President." Chen Fan said.

"No need."

Chang Fei waved, his eyes filled with regret and worry.

He was genuinely concerned about the possibility of unforeseen incidents with Chen Fan staying in Anshan City.

"Looks like I need to keep an eye on Anshan City’s situation. If there’s any sign of a beast tide outbreak, I’ll immediately send someone to fetch him."

He made up his mind.

After discussing more details, this video call finally ended.

As soon as it disconnected, Elder Tang couldn’t help but complain, "Chang Fei, what was up with you before? Why insist on agreeing to his first condition?"

"Elder Tang."

Chang Fei, anticipating this question, sighed with a bitter smile, "Have you ever thought that one day he might improve the True Qi Pill formula just like today?"

"What! Improve the True Qi Pill formula?" Elder Tang’s breath instantly became rapid.
