Chapter 669 489: You Thought There Was No ‘Year’? Actually, There Is! (Part 2)
Zumama, with a body as curvaceous as a snake, pressed her nearly uncovered voluptuous form against Lin Guang's chest, with only a few pieces of cloth being pushed aside by friction, making her seem almost boneless, shockingly supple.
Fidia's species tends to have a lower body temperature, which makes them feel cool like a smooth piece of cold jade in the heat of this place. Her beast-like large eyes watched Lin Guang from a close distance, eyes mixed with fatigue and excitement, yet under the current posture, they projected an inherent allure that made one's heart skip a beat.
However, just as she lay on Lin Guang and finished speaking, she was forcibly pulled away by a pair of hands with red nail polish.
It was Vishdair, who had swiftly stepped forward, unable to bear it any longer, shielding Lin Guang: "Why so close? Can't you speak normally?"
Zumama didn't mind these trifles and continued to speak excitedly: "If you can help, the price of your Spiritual Artifacts can be pressed down further! There could also be more leeway in the time frame!"
"This is called… um…"
Zumama was a bit stunned, seemingly unsure of what to say,
Liko quickly reacted: "Win-win! Master! Win-win!"
"Oh, win-win!"
She repeated excitedly.
The girls below the stage all looked at each other in confusion.
They seemed to understand the meaning.
Lin Guang's ability seemed to be a very strong aid to Zumama as well, allowing her to overcome the current crisis, and she was eagerly craving it.
At this moment, Lin Guang finally came to his senses, as if he had figured something out, and said to Vishdair: "...Calm down first."
He looked at the similarly excited Zumama and then at the heavily scarred Angry Iron Plate beside them.
As Lin Guang moved closer, the Source Stone components in the mech finally responded within his senses, seemingly resonating with him from afar.
Lin Guang took a deep breath, then exhaled:
"We can discuss assisting you with this matter, as obtaining the Spiritual Artifact sooner would also benefit us."
"…!!!"
She widened her eyes, her snake-like tail lifting again: "Really!!"
"But don't get your hopes up too high."
Lin Guang looked at Zumama, his tone steady: "We are indeed very busy lately, and may not be able to spare much time, and I know nothing about forging or the Spiritual Artifact industry, so how much I can actually help is uncertain."
She seemed unusually excited: "No, you don't need to know much, just be like you were just now!"
"What are your conditions?!"
Zumama's elf-like pointed ears flushed pink from excitement: "I can pay your hiring fee, with Spiritual Artifacts or other forms to repay debt! Please, help me at least until next year's Mechanical Spirit Cup starts—"
Liko covered her face, unable to hold back, shouting to interrupt: "Master, we're almost out of money! We can't afford to hire anyone!"
Zumama suddenly wilted a bit: "Ugh... can we put it on credit first?"
"I understand what you mean, but please calm down first as well."
Lin Guang paused.
At this moment, his exceedingly handsome face suddenly showed a very serious expression.
"I will ensure the advance payment for Spiritual Materials is in place, you can rest assured, no need to lower the price further, I can even help connect you with suppliers to get materials at the lowest cost."
"If you really need it, I can find a way to provide interest-free loans, or even contact the equipment and research departments at Longteng University for technical support…"
"These can all be written into the contract."
Under the gaze of Lin Guang's dark golden eyes and hearing him offer such superior terms one after another, Zumama's beautiful indigo eyes widened even more.
And Liko's jaw almost dropped.
"?!"
Who is actually pleading with whom? Isn't it us who are the ones in the passive position, being pressed?
Such demands, are made for…?
Zumama was also quite surprised.
Though she usually wasn't interested in other matters, she didn't even follow the state competitions or anything, but upon hearing Lin Guang's series of conditions, she began to understand.
This big client is not an ordinary person; he must have a considerable social status.
But with such good terms, they must come with corresponding prices.
Free things are the most expensive.
She murmured: "Then, what is the cost? What's the price?"
Lin Guang looked at Senran, seriously said: "What if I say...I intend to recruit or acquire your [Senran Studio]?"
"Your technology, potential, are of great significance to me."
Liko opened her mouth wide: "Huh?!"
"Again?!"
Remyu exclaimed in surprise: "What do you mean by 'again'?"
Liko hesitated for a moment, looked at the Angry Iron Plate next to her, then closed her mouth without answering the question.
It's actually quite simple.
Someone has also previously noticed Senran Studio as a small Miracle Master Studio, with mysteriously high productivity and high quality that doesn't match its strange appearance, so there have been intentions for cooperation and acquisition.
But eventually, it all ended without a satisfactory outcome.
That's because upon understanding, they felt that Senran Studio's technology was hard to replicate, and its output couldn't be increased.
But now, not only does Master really need this condition, but also... the strange phenomena just observed, could it really be that someone can understand Master's peculiar ideas and talents?
She has been following Senran daily, yet she has only learned a little by relying on her talent alone.
