Chapter 1331 670: Ruthless Moves Can't Be Killed, But People Can_2
Ji Jue originally planned to collect three golden ribbons in one go and wait for the master evaluation. But after struggling for half a day, he was still one short.
For the master evaluation, three golden ribbons are just the admission threshold, a hard requirement used as a standard.
Well, not that hard actually.
If your work is intense and plentiful, you can become a master without any golden ribbons. Just like before when Ye Xian achieved a breakthrough with just three Ominous Sequence creations, easily qualifying without any detours, leaving countless others far behind.
But if you don't have such significant work to contribute, you'll still need a standard, right?
Ji Jue still needed to accumulate prestige, gain experience, to exchange for a ticket to challenge the old-timers in the Association.
Of course, if he shared his secret achievements, like telling the little stories of Lu Changsheng, that would definitely nail it...
He could obtain a master evaluation in You Sui!
By then, welcoming the Great Evil, sewing black flags at night, the future would be bright and promising!
I can achieve what Jian Yuan can do, can't I?
Unfortunately, no matter how reckless Ji Jue was, he still had some attachment to the world and his identity, better leave it aside then.
After considering everything, Ji Jue decided to take his talents to the Punishment Team!
Work is work, does it matter who you're working for?
It's better to compete openly with peers!
But before that...
Ji Jue handed a list to Lou Feng: "Vision, Echo, Scale Rain, Twenty-Four Winds, Liquid Gold... Fourteen in total, now you can go 'consult' on technology and patents."
"What the heck?"
Lou Feng was shocked: "Didn't you say you were being lenient?"
"Wasn't I lenient?"
Ji Jue retorted, "I've even canceled the inquiry session to let them off. What more do they want? Even Master Hu has to pay. Do they think they're better than the master just because they don't have to pay?"
Not pay?
Not paying means death!
For such a big matter, how can things be resolved without consequences?
Even if we can't handle it today, we'll continue tomorrow!
Can't handle the master, but can't handle you?
You better be able to link up with a director!
"Execute it, Old Lou!"
Ji Jue said earnestly, "Once this group purchase is done, the new model upgrades for the next year, following year, and the year after are secured. It can save at least eight to twelve years of effort!"
It's like how peers would be amused seeing patent barriers in the Sun Dial. Ji Jue was infuriated countless times seeing peers laying traps, digging pits, building walls, and setting obstacles for newcomers in their respective fields.
Currently, functionalities are only at a basic level, but anything with a special feature is tightly blocked by those in the Association.
Either stop upgrades and wait to die, or pay significant patent fees or shares for peace.
Even with this, peers still want to hold inquiry sessions to apply pressure on us.
Now the inquiry session is held, and the pressure is applied, but which side it applied to you better not ask.
Director Ji is meticulous; he knows every attendee in the inquiry session but remembers clearly who applied.
This is just the start of it.
Others are just watching, not revealing themselves yet.
When the wall collapses, everyone pushes.
Before, when Ji Jue played solo, no one cared, but once he entered the Association's power games and revealed ambitions to advance, it turned into a series of competitive rankings.
From the start, he knew it wouldn't end well.
It's not for no reason that craftsmen can play with the White Deer; it's about the capable ones rising to the top!
Since the baton is swung, it needs a skull in front, stepping on a few peers to speak with authority in the Association!
"Alright, I'll handle it myself."
With a slight thought, Lou Feng picked up Ji Jue's list and already identified the first target.
Vision!
The most vocal and overlapping with the Sun Dial in business and technology.
Most importantly, closest in distance.
Located right in South City!
Given this, what more need be said?
Brother, I'm coming in!
That very night, after being transported directly to the door via Earth Veins of the Star Core Association, Lou Feng knocked on the door of Vision Workshop.
With the notice of inquiry meeting in his left hand and the Light Containing Sword in his right, Lou Feng smiled at the pale old craftsman.
"Mr. Sun, shall we chat?"
And they talked deep into the night.
Upon leaving, he still held the Light Containing Sword, but what was in the other hand transformed from an inquiry notice to a thick stack of patent licenses.
The patent barriers Vision Workshop painstakingly built over three generations in micro spiritual material analysis and testing were now entirely open.
Glancing at the Sun Dial on his wrist, he made a call to the Star Core Association's transport and headed to the next company.
Then to the one after that.
And the one after that.
For three whole days, Lou Feng didn't close his eyes, covering the Federation, Empire, and Thousand Islands continuously.
Taking advantage of Hu Jian lowering his head, he struck quickly and decisively.
Of the fourteen workshops, Lou Feng personally resolved twelve, either through patent licensing, technology sharing, or relinquishing shares for investment.
