Chapter 203 Not Wanting to Disappoint the Master

On the other side...

After a week-long journey, Ji Beicheng returned to the G City base. Instead of immediately reporting to management, he instructed his subordinates to take good care of those who dared to speak ill of Ling Ran before going to find Pan Shaogang.

Pan Shaogang was sitting in his office when Ji Beichen came to see him and saw that he looked utterly hopeless.

"Manager Pan, I'm back."

Pan Shaogang looked up at him, then nodded and said weakly, "You're back. How did the mission go?"

"A total of more than 80,000 crystal cores."

"So few? Wasn't it said that Furong Province was full of crystal cores? I remember that apart from the people of Furong Province, we should have been among the first to go there to collect them, right? We didn't even get 100,000."

"Actually, we do have 100,000."

As Ji Beichen spoke, he placed the box in his hand on Pan Shaogang's desk. Just as he was about to say something, he noticed a light blue crystal core that Pan Shaogang was playing with.

It is crystal clear, without any impurities, and has a very glossy appearance.

"This crystal core?"

"You mean this?" Pan Shaogang sighed, "A while ago, didn't the master offer a thousand crystal cores at the Star Base saying he wanted to eat durian? We sent someone to deliver it to him, and he had a flying ability user bring those thousand crystal cores back to me. I was going to say that the master was too kind, but who knew..."

Pan Shaogang slammed his fist on the table, crying out in anguish, "Who knew that this crystal core was actually purified, with absolutely no impurities? It's so much better than the evolution fluid sample sent by Hope Base, and it has no side effects whatsoever!"

"I know."

"No, you don't know!" Pan Shaogang continued in anguish, "I heard that Star Base has reached a cooperation agreement with the adults, and the price is even lower than that of Hope Base. With these crystal cores, how much will Star Base's strength be enhanced! Do you know what we've missed?"

"I know."

"No, you don't know!" Pan Shaogang continued in pain, and was about to speak again when Ji Beicheng interrupted him: "Manager Pan, do you want to see what's in the box?"

"It's just a crystal core, what else could it be... wait?"

Pan Shaogang picked up the crystal core, looked at the even more translucent crystal core in his hand, then sensed it for a moment, and stared at Ji Beichen in shock: "This, this is..."

"The purified crystal core."

Ji Beichen recounted his encounter with Ling Ran on the road: "Unfortunately, we only had a little over 70,000 crystal cores at the time, so we only managed to exchange for a little over 40,000. The remaining 40,000 were picked up later, bringing the total to a little over 80,000."

"What a pity."

Pan Shaogang felt a little regretful, but then he became happy: "But compared to a thousand, more than forty thousand is still very good. It's already a blessing to meet you, sir."

"really."

Pan Shaogang was healed by the purified crystal core, and he was even happier when he thought that there were none left in the Southern Province base.

After discussing the crystal cores, Ji Beichen added, "Manager Pan, would you like to cooperate with the evolution fluid that the base is sending?"

Pan Shaogang hesitated for a moment, then said, "Forget it, let's not cooperate."

He originally wanted to cooperate.

After all, no one can refuse the benefits of the evolution fluid, and if other bases are using it while you are not, you may be constantly suppressed by other bases in the early stages.

But the purification crystal core that the adults brought brought Pan Shaogang back to his senses.

It doesn't matter if you fall behind for a while, as long as you catch up.

Moreover, the Southern Province base directly refused. If the adult goes to the Hope Base and hears that their G City base has cooperated with the Hope Base on the evolution fluid, will she regret helping the G City base in the past?

For some reason, Pan Shaogang didn't want to disappoint the adults.

"That's good."

Hearing that he wouldn't cooperate, Ji Beichen felt relieved: "If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

"Wait, let's call a management meeting. Although these 40,000 crystal cores are not a lot, they need to be used wisely. Let's have everyone come and discuss how to maximize the benefits of these crystal cores."
