Secret Records of the Leader of the Beichen Sword Sect-Chapter 961 - 495: Worth the Money (Part 2)
Thus, the company's lapdog, the Taiyin Heavenly Demon, Yingtao, whom I had met in the Ye Capital and Suiyang, suddenly projected her face from the void, like a soul leaping out of a water curtain and emerging from a mirror.
Tie Dan coldly looked at the face; as Yingtao opened her tiny mouth, a suffocating stench of Demon Qi spread over everything, as if her belly was filled with Corpse Mountain and Blood Sea, chewing countless souls in her fragrant mouth.
"What are you?"
"Ha, ha ha ha..."
Then, the entity walked slowly out of the void, naked, human-faced, horse-footed, resembling an ox, with a shoulder height of ten feet. Its smooth, pink, almost translucent skin seemed like that of a maiden, and its powerful, graceful muscles hid monster power as profound as the depths of an abyss. The dense pores on its body emitted steaming heat waves, and from the instant it appeared in reality, it began to breathe spontaneously, gathering radiant sweat from the world, which was clearly the Dao Breath extracted during Body Refining.
Odd, everything defied logic and was not a creation naturally conceivable in this world.
"Nice to meet you, I'm the manager of the company's fringe department. You might understand me as Yingtao's supervisor's supervisor. Or, you can call me Yuyu, the native dialect for me."
Tie Dan stared at its neck without speaking.
Yuyu smiled,
"Don't be so uptight, you must have dealt with the company before.
Both the Control Department and Sales Department have set you up with profiles, and should have privately contacted you by now.
The local natives are particularly smart, you understand my words quite well, right?"
Tie Dan paused for a moment,
"What is the fringe department? Isn't that guy from some Monster Department?"
Yuyu smiled,
"That's a general term from those below. The full name is the Fringe Technology Development Department. Yingtao belongs to the Infiltration and Investigation Section under my jurisdiction, responsible for investigating anything in this plane that cannot be replicated using scientific principles, which means, 'monsters.'
Tie Dan looked at this oddly shaped fellow, calculated in his mind, and then pondered,
"She asked me to find a faceless statue in Suiyang, why? Is there one in Jiangdu City as well?"
Yuyu nodded,
"Talking to smart people is refreshing; I hope you can sneak into the South King Mansion in Jiangdu City to find something for me. But it's not a god statue; rather, it's a piece of Jade. With your perception, you should be able to recognize it once you see it.
That thing was once brought into Ziwei Constellation by the concubines of the Vassal State as part of the dowry, beyond our department's investigation boundaries, never had a chance to acquire it.
It is hard to sketch amidst today's chaos and confusion, the internal defense must have lapses. Such an Imperial Artifact of great value should be temporarily stored in the Southern King's Treasure Vault.
Currently, my subordinates are all busy, and the city has eyes from other departments, making it inconvenient for me to appear.
You were recommended by Yingtao as temporary help, now that you're here, if you can help me accomplish this, there's surely a reward waiting for you."
Tie Dan was silent for a moment, raised his hand to retrieve the Blood Coin, and coldly said,
"What's inconvenient for you? Stone Dragon is your client, and the Immortal Palace is your dog.
Just walk in grandly and search, what's all this nonsense? Do you plan to ambush and trick me?"
Yuyu maintained his smile, seeming to have no other expressions,
"Ha ha, you might not know, our company isn't like your hierarchy where a word settles things.
Departments and sections engage in open and secret battles for performance indicators, while the sales unit plots against each other for performance ratings.
Plus, any organization runs for a long time with entangled factions, everyone has their own agenda.
The same business, if I were to handle it personally, I might need to cut interests hard to let go, owing a great many favors.
But should an irrelevant native steal away, it affects the Control Department's performance, and I only need to apply for more social funds, signing a few reimbursement forms.
Ha ha, seeing you run around these days from up there, is it not for those trivial gains?
I can arrange other helpers to create chaos, offering you the opportunity, with such a chance, we benefit mutually, and a joint win...
"Fine, Wanyu Immortal Silk, one hundred thousand."
Tie Dan didn't waste words, directly demanded extravagantly.
Yuyu's smiled froze on his face,
"... No, do you know how to bargain? Haven't bought anything before?"
Tie Dan chuckled,
"Just apply for more of that social fund, won't you?"
Yuyu was speechless,
"Wanyu Immortal Silk annual yield is only ten thousand pounds, where do I get a hundred thousand pounds for you!"
Tie Dan rolled his eyes upward,
"Who said anything about pounds! I mean one hundred thousand bundles of Immortal Silk, ought to be two million six hundred thousand pounds! Not a fraction less!"
Yuyu was furious,
"Are you insane!"
Tie Dan was equally furious, drew his sword and stood up,
"How dare you insult me! Let's sword fight!"
"You!"
Yuyu was simply speechless, bearing his anger,
"Don't be unreasonable, I'm here sincerely to offer you a task.
If it's ten thousand bundles of True Silk, perhaps it's feasible. If you insist on Wanyu Immortal Silk, at most I can offer you two thousand bundles."
Then Tie Dan sat back down,
"Since you are willing to offer two thousand bundles of Immortal Silk to compensate and apologize, I, being magnanimous, shall forgive you.
How about you first send two thousand bundles of Immortal Silk as a down payment, and we will discuss how to deliver the goods when I verify them."
"You! I! Pssst..."
Yuyu's limited expression face twitched, managed between gritted teeth,
"Don't joke about! The quote I initially gave was bottom-line! It's not ten thousand two hundred! It's a total of two thousand! Immortal Silk production capacity is limited! Many are keeping an eye on it! I have pulled out this entire year's share from the Fringe Department to give it all to you!"
