Chapter 378 - 204: The Golden-Shining Lord Wealth
Additionally, he said, "Of course, we won’t let you give it up for nothing. Name your price, and we’ll buy it."Lawrence Winters’ eyes lit up like lights in the darkness.
She said eagerly, "Does that mean whatever price I name, you’ll pay?"
"You can name any price you like, but whether I buy it or not is up to me," said Christopher Mason calmly.
Clearly, he was a buyer needing something, yet he acted in front of Lawrence Winters as if she was desperate to sell to him...
This level of composure was unmatched...
If Lawrence Winters were a bit weaker, she would have been swayed by him.
Unfortunately, Lawrence Winters had been "swaying" others alongside her uncle Nick Zeller from the age of six, and had inherited a strong family tradition, making her far more resistant than most.
Christopher Mason’s demeanor only allowed her to admire for a moment the imposing presence of this peerless handsome man, but it did not intimidate her.
She smiled and said, "...What if I want ten billion?"
Christopher Mason: "..."
Ha, underestimated this girl, she can really ask for the moon.
However, Christopher Mason didn’t directly refuse but made a non-committal "hmm" and calmly said, "Then tell me, why do you think this set of things is worth ten billion? If you can convince me, I’ll buy it."
Lawrence Winters took a sharp breath and patted her chest, muttering softly, "Calm down, calm down..."
Then she quickly pinched her fingers and performed a divination for herself.
Although fortune tellers generally don’t predict for themselves because it’s inaccurate,
Lawrence Winters felt that her predictions were always inaccurate anyway, so occasionally predicting for herself didn’t matter as it was just for reference, not seriously believed.
However, the small fortune she predicted for herself was disappointing, no wealth luck, but good fortune.
So, "ten billion" was certainly out of reach.
Fortunately, she didn’t really expect to make ten billion, and besides, this set of things wasn’t hers, it belonged to their Celestial Path Sect of the Zhang family line.
Whether or not it could be transferred was not up to her, it was up to her master and grandmaster.
Lawrence Winters regretted for a second, then told the truth, "Actually, I really don’t know how to teach it, other than a set of formulas, I don’t understand anything else."
Christopher Mason was slightly stunned, "...Just a set of formulas?"
Lawrence Winters nodded, "I told Professor Lu the same thing earlier, Professor Lu didn’t quite believe it, and I’m sure you won’t either."
"It’s indeed hard to believe," said Christopher Mason, as he took out his new handheld computer.
This kind of computer had only a small host, about the size of a mobile phone, but no screen as it used a virtual screen and virtual keyboard, which could be adjusted to any size and clarity.
He opened the virtual screen and keyboard and began to demonstrate to Lawrence Winters.
"Look, to achieve what you do, I need real-time satellite monitoring, comprehensive network linking, connecting all highway cameras, and a super-fast computer for positional calculations, this is how I could use a car to form such a lotus pattern in traffic."
"Worldwide, less than five people have cars equipped with such technology."
"I can say, only I can achieve such an effect."
"Yet you say you can do this with just a set of formulas."
Christopher Mason stared at her, his gaze very sharp, "Do you think any reasonable person would believe what you’re saying?"
Lawrence Winters shrugged indifferently, "If you don’t believe me there’s nothing I can do. My uncle taught me this way, and I learned it this way. Not only I do it this way, but my uncle probably does so too. So if you don’t believe, it’s because you aren’t one of our sect, lacking our Power of Faith, so you can’t do it."
Christopher Mason: "...I have my beliefs, so I don’t think you achieve this through the Power of Faith."
Lawrence Winters chuckled, "Actually, I don’t really have any faith. What I said earlier was just to fool you."
Christopher Mason burst into laughter, "You’re bold. To say straight to my face that you’re fooling me, you’re the first."
"Mr. Mason! I’m a super fan of you and your wife! You must go easy on me!" Lawrence Winters became somewhat nervous; though she wasn’t losing her composure, Christopher Mason’s presence was indeed something that most people found hard to withstand.
Lawrence Winters could hold her ground for a while, but now she felt her "Power of Faith" was running low.
"I didn’t say anything," Christopher Mason handed her a bottle of water, "How about this, could you sell me your formula? Ten billion is too much, how about one billion?"
Lawrence Winters: "!!!"
Oh wow! So exciting! She almost became a billionaire!
Alas...
She reluctantly looked at Christopher Mason, as if seeing a God of Wealth glowing in gold!
Lawrence Winters was thrilled for a long time, before shaking her head and saying, "...No."
"Really want ten billion?" Christopher Mason was evaluating internally, unsure whether to invest such a large sum.
Unexpectedly, Lawrence Winters said, "If it’s really useful to you, we wouldn’t charge."
Christopher Mason quickly said, "...That won’t do. We don’t accept things from the public for free, it’s our rule."
Lawrence Winters raised her hand to stop him, "Mr. Mason, don’t rush. Let me ask my master and grandmaster, see what they say. Actually, this thing isn’t mine, I can’t make the decision. What I said about ten billion was just a joke."
Christopher Mason nodded and said, "There’s a small room over there, you can make a call. Don’t worry, there’s no surveillance there."
Lawrence Winters took her phone and went to the small room Christopher Mason indicated to make a call.
She called Nick Zeller first and asked, "Uncle, someone wants our Nine Palace Lotus Formation formula, can it be shared with them?"
Nick Zeller initially rejected, "No way! This is the secret knowledge of our Celestial Path Sect’s Zhang family branch! How can it be casually given out?"
But after saying that, he immediately lowered his voice and asked, "...How much are they offering? If the price is right, it’s not entirely out of the question."
