T/N - Oh, it looks like this Liu Muxiao has another reason for choosing the MC. What’s the story behind the cartoon coin?
Having said that, I think that the MC can take both Liu Muxiao and Li Changkong’s granddaughter in as his players. After all, I think it’s very much possible for the MC to level up and get another player slot within 3 months.
One hundred million?
Hearing this number, Ye Mo couldn't help but suck in a large breath of cold air.
This price was almost catching up to the market price of the Six Saint Sanctuaries' SSS-Rank Class Cards.
And Ye Mo's initial expectation was only around fifty to sixty million.
The most crucial point was that Li Changkong's granddaughter wasn’t a child of an aristocratic family.
Nor had she joined the Six Saint Sanctuaries. Her identity could be said to be very clean.
"May I ask what your granddaughter's Path is?"
Suppressing the excitement in his heart, Ye Mo smiled and poured a cup of tea for the old man.
Money didn't matter much here. The main thing was that the virtue of respecting the old and loving the young couldn't be lacking.
"She just awakened the Tank Path a few days ago. I wonder if Mr. Ye has a suitable Class Card for her.
If possible… this old man hopes it's best if it can be SSS-Rank."
Li Changkong took the tea and spoke with a smile.
"Then that's really a coincidence. I happen to have an SSS-Rank Tank Path Class Card right here. And I can guarantee that the quality of this card won’t be worse than that of my two players.
If you confirm to sign the contract here, I can craft the Class Card tomorrow."
Ye Mo spoke immediately.
"No rush. My granddaughter hasn't awakened for long, and she's still learning basic knowledge at the academy recently. We have to wait until three full months later before she can sign the contract with you, little friend."
Li Changkong took a sip of tea and then continued.
"But I have to give you a heads-up. At this price of one hundred million, I won't be paying it off in a lump sum. Even according to the contracts of the Six Saint Sanctuaries, it's usually paid in installments over 3 to 5 years.
This old man's income is limited. I wonder if it's possible to pay in installments for over 7 years.
As for the installment interest, it can be calculated at 10% annually. As for the share of dungeon materials, we can just follow the market rate of a 30% share."
Li Changkong was indeed an old fox.
First, stating the price, laying out the advantage of not involving factions, and then negotiating terms with Ye Mo.
But the conditions he stated were also considered reasonable.
The Six Saint Sanctuaries' SSS-Rank Class Cards indeed offered installment payments.
Or rather, any high-quality class could be paid in installments.
This was considered common sense in this world. As for the annual interest, it was between 6% and 15%.
The larger the principal amount, the lower the annual interest rate could be.
Among them, the annual interest rate of the Six Saint Sanctuaries was fixed at around 20%.
If one hundred million was paid in installments over five years, it would directly become two hundred million.
So, this 10% interest of Li Changkong's was considered a reasonable market price.
"Installments over 7 years, huh…?"
Ye Mo quickly calculated in his mind.
If the principal included 10% interest over seven years, that would be 1.7 small goals!
He could get about 2 million or so every month.
Honestly, the installment period was a bit long, but the total increased by 70%!
"If you accept, then please reserve a spot for my granddaughter first.
After three months, I’ll bring her to sign the contract with you.
Of course, if someone offers a higher price than me within these three months, you can also just sell it to the highest bidder."
Seeing Ye Mo silent, Li Changkong continued to speak.
His attitude was quite sincere. He didn't directly propose signing a contract; Instead, he gave Ye Mo time to compare prices.
At the same time, he was also hinting that this was the maximum he could afford.
After sending Li Changkong away…
Just as Ye Mo was about to return to the office, he saw an expensive black commercial vehicle stop at the door.
An old butler wearing a suit jogged from the driver's seat to the back.
With a ‘click’, he pulled open the back door very gentlemanly.
An icy clean, and jade-like beautiful girl wearing a pure white dress stepped out of the car with a smile.
"Mr. Ye, congratulations on winning the championship."
Liu Muxiao walked up to Ye Mo and congratulated him politely.
Seeing the girl, Ye Mo was slightly stunned.
He really didn't expect Liu Muxiao to actually come looking for him.
"Thank you. May I ask what business Miss Liu has with me this time?"
"There are too many eyes outside. Let's go in and talk."
Soon…
Ye Mo led Liu Muxiao into the office.
"I wonder if Mr. Ye has an SSS-Rank Control Path Class Card on hand?"
As soon as Liu Muxiao sat down, she got straight to the point.
'She's also here to buy a player Class Card from me?'
"I do happen to have one, but... who are you using this for?"
Ye Mo looked at her in confusion.
"For myself."
"What?"
Ye Mo thought he had heard wrong.
It should be known that Liu Muxiao was already an SSS-Rank class card holder. There was no need for her to retrain, right?
"I won't explain my specific reasons. I'm someone who doesn't like complicated small talk, so let's get straight to the point."
Liu Muxiao took a sip of tea and offered a price.
"I offer 500 million, 10% annual interest in installments over 4 years. No player share is needed."
"Five hundred million?"
Hearing these words, Ye Mo's heart skipped a beat.
If five hundred million was paid in installments over 4 years, that would be 700 million in total!
In other words, he could get more than 14.58 million every month!
This price was already comparable to the SSS-Rank Class Cards of the Six Saint Sanctuaries.
The key was that she didn't even want a player share.
She was absolutely working for free!
Of course, she was a child of an aristocratic family, so she probably didn't care about that little money.
Entering dungeons was purely for leveling up.
Honestly, Ye Mo really wanted to agree.
But it was a pity that the other party was a child of an aristocratic family. Agreeing to her request was equivalent to taking her side.
It might attract the prying eyes of other aristocratic families.
And it might even implicate his family members.
"I know what Mr. Ye's worried about. You don’t want to get involved in disputes between aristocratic families, right?
Please rest assured, I can promise the safety of you and your family. I’ll send people to protect them 24 hours a day, uninterrupted."
As long as one signed a player contract with her, involvement in the struggles of aristocratic families was unavoidable.
Liu Muxiao was very clear about this.
So the only thing she could offer was a guarantee of safety.
"Miss Liu, as a child of an aristocratic family, you should be clear that verbal guarantees mean nothing at all. I admit that the price you offered is very high, and you’re very sincere.
But as long as I sign a player contract with you, I must bear the risks brought by your competitors!"
Ye Mo smiled, not believing Liu Muxiao's guarantee at all.
Every child of an aristocratic family had considerable connections. Getting rid of two ordinary people was very simple for them.
And trying to stop a child of an aristocratic family from getting rid of an ordinary person… The cost was far greater than the former.
So, Ye Mo didn't believe her guarantee at all.
"It seems that you don't believe in my character."
Liu Muxiao shook her head helplessly and continued.
"But it doesn't matter. Not believing is because you don't understand me yet."
Saying that, Liu Muxiao placed a business card on the table.
"This is my business card. You can call me anytime. Of course...
If you encounter any thorny problems, I'm also happy to help you.
I hope we can become the most loyal allies."
After saying this, she directly left with the butler.
"Truly someone who doesn't like nonsense."
Looking at Liu Muxiao's crisp and neat appearance, Ye Mo sized up the business card on the desk and sighed helplessly.
On the other side.
"Miss, you're just ending it like this?"
The butler driving the car glanced sideways at Liu Muxiao in the rearview mirror and asked somewhat unwillingly.
"En. What needed to be said has been said, and the stance that needed to be expressed has been expressed. Later… we just need to wait for him to express his own stance."
"Are you so sure that he’ll definitely choose you?"
"Not certain, but..."
Speaking of this, Liu Muxiao leaned back in her seat and stroked her beautiful hair by her ear.
Her ice-blue, beautiful eyes flickered with light. Looking at the retreating scenery outside the car, she murmured.
"I’ll be his best choice."
Saying that, her gaze fell on the cartoon coin tied with a red string on her wrist, a smile appearing on her face.
