Chapter 1128 - 1129: Acting Out of Line
Ji You never expected that Senior Tang Qi, someone so serious, so meticulous, so stiff, with an entirely mismatched face and seemingly devoid of any humor, could say such a thing in such a grave tone.
Ji You almost choked.
"Cough, cough..."
"Senior..." Ji You cleared his throat and said seriously, "Speaking plainly doesn’t matter, what’s important is giving me a million, and I’ll immediately send you the formula. A clean deal, and we part ways, ha."
Tang Qi: "..."
Tang Qi muttered under his breath: [Indeed, not speaking plainly.]
But!
We still have to speak plainly and do proper business.
And so—
Tang Qi said seriously, "Before contacting you, we had already made an application to the higher-ups and got their consent. The higher-ups wanted to consult your opinion on the price first, and I have some authority to set the price. Student Ji You, I hope you carefully consider the price before telling me."
Ji You waved his hand, saying, "Senior Tang Qi, I’ve thought it over carefully, and a million is my wish, there’s no dissatisfaction and no coercion, I’ve made this serious decision after careful consideration."
Hearing this, Tang Qi fell silent. If he just agreed, then the Sixth Legion, the military side, would no doubt be taking advantage of this kid. This formula was actually very valuable; even 5 million credit points could be an underestimate. The stinky bomb as an auxiliary during combat could be quite useful, especially in some special scenarios and environments or against particular targets, where the stinky bomb could have unimaginable effects... And, after experimental proof, it was found that the entire Star Beast Group had a very low resistance to the stinky bomb, effectively lowering the soldier casualty rate, which alone was reason enough for the Sixth Legion to purchase it no matter how high Ji You set the price.
But this kid only wanted a million, practically giving it to the military for free.
The strong resistance of the Star Beasts is a headache for all biologists and researchers. Over the years, countless scientists have researched and explored... but every time a powerful drug that is lethal to the Star Beast Group is invented, in a few months, or at most two to three years, all Star Beast Groups develop resistance to it.
Trying to kill Star Beasts with external substances?
Very difficult.
Very difficult.
Very difficult.
...
The stinky bomb version 1.0 that Ji You provided has been used for nearly 3 months, and so far no resistance has been found in the physical fitness of the Star Beasts, so Ji You’s invention is very important.
second.
seconds.
seconds.
...
Tang Qi remained silent.
Seeing Senior Tang Qi’s baby face almost twisted with conflict, Ji You suddenly laughed and said, "Senior Tang Qi, if you’re really struggling to decide, how about I make another request?"
Tang Qi raised his head and said earnestly, "Go ahead."
Ji You squinted his eyes and said softly, "I ask that you and the higher-ups in the military promise me one thing: If I come up with any bizarre inventions or creations in the future, please buy them."
Tang Qi: "..."
Tang Qi fell silent again.
On the other side of the screen, the girl was small in stature, rather slim, seeming like a gust of wind could blow her away, someone you could pick up with a finger, yet—
Tang Qi felt she was bursting with energy.
An energy that was warm just by standing there.
I...
I and countless comrades, whether still fighting side by side or vanished, the countless days and nights spent defending and guarding with our lives, was for billions upon billions of people like the girl before his eyes.
Is it worth it?
It is.
Tang Qi nodded vigorously, "Okay."
After saying "okay," he caught a glimpse of a mischievous glint in the girl’s eyes, and a sudden unease popped into Tang Qi’s mind, and he couldn’t help but add, "But if it’s too bizarre, so bizarre that... cough... it’s against humanity, I have the right to refuse the military’s purchase."
The light in Ji You’s eyes dimmed.
Then.
Tang Qi continued, "But I personally will pay out of pocket to buy it."
Ji You burst out laughing, "Hahaha..."
Tang Qi: "..."
Tang Qi whispered, "I hope it’s not too bizarre."
Ji You laughed so hard she almost fell over, holding onto the rabbit shed door threshold to barely steady herself, covering her stomach, laughing with her eyes not even visible: "Cough, cough... Senior Tang Qi, you’re so adorable, would you cry if I gave you a beating?"
Tang Qi: "..."
Tang Qi’s face finally darkened.
He felt the atmosphere was exceedingly awkward. But the culprit had no self-reflective consciousness, no wonder...
No wonder Senior Chen Ke said this little bunny doesn’t talk humanspeak, in Tang Qi’s eyes, she doesn’t do human things either.
Cough, cough...
Tang Qi straightened his face and said, "Student Ji You, regarding your terms, I have agreed, here’s the contract, please sign it, after you’re done, I’ll make the payment immediately."
—After the payment, let’s have a clean deal and part ways.
Of course, this last sentence, Tang Qi bit his lip hard to stop himself from saying it.
Ji You glanced at Senior Tang Qi’s expression, seized the moment, quickly signed her name, and then—
Ding Dong—
Interstellar Bank: [System Notification, you have a transfer of 1 million credit points, please check.]
Ji You’s lips curled up slightly, about to say a few words like thank you, senior, you’re so generous, senior, Ning is indeed a straightforward person, hope we have the chance to work together again, happy cooperation... to alleviate the awkwardness, but before she could speak, she saw Senior Tang Qi on the other side of the screen saying seriously, "Goodbye."
Click~
The communication was cut off.
Cut off decisively, quickly, ruthlessly.
Ji You: "..."
After a few seconds of silence, Ji You asked herself, "Am I really that scary?"
After asking, Ji You raised her hand, touching her jaw and cheek: "Pretty cute looking, not scary at all."
After saying this, a voice suddenly drifted in from the side, with a faint complaint: "I think a little bit scary."
"!!!" Ji You was startled, quickly turning around, and saw a person standing at the wall corner about 50 meters behind her, a big living person over two meters tall!
"Damn!"
"Liu Fufeng!"
Ji You was genuinely startled, almost leaping up, but held it back for the sake of her image. Ji You’s mouth twitched and she asked, "When did you get here?"
She was sure that when she entered the rabbit shed earlier, she looked around and really saw no one, not even a mosquito.
But!!!
When did this guy show up? How did he appear? How did he sneak so unnoticed past someone as formidable as herself?
Asking this, Ji You was swaying, looking like she was barely able to handle the blow.
