Just when Jiang Mi couldn't help but want to go find someone on purpose, Gu Qi came to the door on his own accord, and Zhong Li was still with him.
"Ms. Jiang, what a fate, we meet again." Gu Qi was still wearing a black hooded sweatshirt. His tall figure was leaning lazily against the wall, and he waved his hand casually at her.
Zhong Li hadn't changed much either, he was still as taciturn as ever, but there was something mysterious in the look in his eyes when he looked at Jiang Mi.
Seeing him like this, Jiang Mi chuckled, "I don't think this is fate. Our whereabouts should have been under your nose recently, right?"
If he disappeared, there was really no trace of him at all. If he reappeared, he appeared right in front of her. She didn't believe that there was no problem.
"Miss Jiang, you are wrongly accusing me." Gu Qi lit a cigarette and said jokingly, "It's really because I've been too busy these past few days. I guess there's no need for me to say more."
He blew out a puff of smoke. "I know you two took someone away from the Winter Base, but it doesn't matter. But you have been hanging around here. It would be rude of me to ignore you."
Jiang Mi narrowed her eyes slightly. This Gu Qi was more difficult to deal with than she had imagined.
"So, we have to thank Mr. Gu for taking the time to meet us." She smiled wryly.
Zhong Li, who had been silent all this time, now asked in a deep voice: "What is your purpose?"
Jiang Mi's mind was full of thoughts, but in the end he just said calmly, "I won't keep you in suspense. We want the researchers at the Winter Base."
Gu Qi dusted off his cigarette ash and said nonchalantly, "Ms. Jiang is quite confident."
He did not participate in the battle and had nothing to do with their Southwest Second Survivor Base, but he asked for nearly 20 talents. I don't know whether to say that he was fanciful or had another card.
Jiang Mi pretended to take out a transparent test tube of space lake water from the bag she was carrying and shook it in front of him.
"This is a perfect advanced potion that can prevent distortion during the awakening process. Although it cannot make humans awaken on their own initiative, I think you Winter people should need this."
As soon as the medicine was taken out, Gu Qi's smoking hand paused slightly, and even Zhong Li looked at him in surprise.
Although she couldn't see Gu Qi's face, Jiang Mi could feel his gaze moving around her face and then falling on the test tube in her hand. The sharpness of his eyes almost made her unable to hold back the tension.
But this time, with her brother by her side, she felt extra confident, so even though Gu Qi was looking at her, she still managed to remain calm and did not reveal the slightest flaw.
"It seems that I underestimated Miss Jiang before." Gu Qi chuckled a few times, and leaned against the wall to relax again. The cigarette in his hand had burned out, and he casually threw it to the ground and crushed it with his foot. "Although the perfect awakening potion provided by Miss Jiang is very tempting, I have to say that it is not reasonable to want to take all the researchers away just with this, right?"
Jiang Mi did not give in at all. "With the potion, the method of awakening superpowers developed by the Winter Base is almost meaningless to our base. And you should know now that the so-called awakening is nothing more than forced infection. This method is stupid and poisonous, and the success rate is less than 30%. You still bring this method to the negotiation table," she sneered, her face full of disdain, "Then we don't need to continue talking."
Gu Qi was not angry at her attitude, and even smiled and said, "It seems that Miss Jiang has a better and safer way to awaken?"
Jiang Mi didn't make any obvious response to this question. She was not a fool so how could she not understand Gu Qi's obvious test? But facing the Southwest Second Survivor Base behind him, there were some things she could say appropriately to improve her status and value.
Jiang Mi's mind raced, and he smiled slightly and said, "Not yet, but since we can research a perfect advanced potion, how do you know that we can't research a real awakening potion without side effects?"
While listening, Gu Qi took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. He took a puff and blew out thick smoke rings, then looked at Jiang Mi with slightly narrowed eyes.
He was very excited about this perfect advanced potion. If he had had it earlier, he would not have become what he is today.
After a long silence, so long that Jiang Mi's heels were numb from standing, Zhong Li was the first to ask, "You only want those researchers?"
Jiang Mi nodded, "Except for the value of those researchers themselves, the so-called awakening potion is worthless to us."
"You are already conducting research on awakening potions, right?" Zhong Li suddenly asked.
Jiang Mi hesitated for a moment, but nodded without denying it. "That's true, so we need a lot of talent, not only for our base, but also for other survivors in the world."
Zhong Li was not impressed by this kind of flattering words. He nodded without commenting. After a moment, he asked, "How many perfect advanced potions do you want to exchange for it?"
"Ten." Jiang Mi frowned slightly, and with a look of careful consideration, he stretched out his hand and made the number ten with absolute certainty.
Gu Qi continued, "Miss Jiang, you are not sincere."
Jiang Mi glared at him. "Do you think the perfect advanced potion is a cabbage on the roadside? It's not like we can mass-produce it once we've researched it. The scarcity of raw materials makes it impossible to mass-produce this kind of potion in a short period of time. Even our base doesn't have much of it."
Zhong Li stretched out his hand, "Ten is too few, fifty."
Jiang Mi shook his head violently, his expression showing a bit of anger, "No! You are asking for too much! Even if we empty our base, we won't be able to have 50."
Jiang Xun, who had been standing by and hadn't said a word the entire time, said calmly, "Thirty, this is our bottom line. If you accept, we'll continue the deal. If you don't, just pretend we never mentioned it."
Zhong Li looked at him in silence, and after a moment he said in a deep voice: "Thirty is too few. That's more than ten researchers. Talents are scarce in the end times. You should know how rare such high-end talents are."
Jiang Mi said decisively: "Fifty is absolutely impossible."
Although 500 sticks would be nothing to her, a negotiation should be conducted in a negotiating manner. If she shows too much and makes the other party remember it, it would be a waste of time and effort.
Gu Qi stood up straight, flicked the cigarette in his hand, and said with a smile: "How about this, forty cigarettes, plus the right to second those researchers."
If it weren't for the fact that their base had not made much progress in this area of research, he would never have agreed to release those researchers.
