The conditions offered by the consortium were indeed very tempting, but Xu Zhi smelled something familiar from it, as if she had done something similar in Yuncheng before.
As for the leeks, they say nice things, but once the contract is signed, the consortium will inevitably squeeze out corresponding or even double the value from you according to how much they pay.
Xu Zhi didn't hide her hesitation, and the man was puzzled: "Miss Xu, are you dissatisfied with the conditions proposed by the consortium?"
Hearing this, Xu Zhi said with some embarrassment: "Twenty years, isn't that a bit too long?"
"How could that be?"
The other side was even more confused.
"Twenty years is already a special privilege for Miss Xu as a Light-attribute Transcendent. During these 20 years, regardless of whether you succeed in advancement or not, the consortium will continue to provide you with resources. Please note that Transcendents of other attributes start with at least 25 years, and after 10 years, if their qualifications and performance are poor, their resources will be reduced."
His tone was full of self-righteousness, and Xu Zhi could hear that he sincerely believed that the 20-year contract was very reasonable and that Xu Zhi had gotten a good deal.
"Ms. Xu, you have to know that 20 years is really not that long for a Transcendent. The average lifespan of Transcendents in our city alone is 150 years old, and that's even including the low-level Transcendents who make up the largest base."
"Besides, the consortium signed this contract with you without any certainty about whether you can successfully advance or whether you will simply waste their time and resources."
"We are sincere enough."
The words were so nice that Xu Zhi was almost moved by them.
Xu Zhi knew very well that now was not the time to make a decision. Whether to agree or refuse, she could not make a decision at this moment. What's more, she had not seen the chips offered by others.
Is it worth their fighting for just a transcendent person with the bottom-level [Light] attribute?
In fact, it is not worth it, but Xu Zhi is not just a low-level extraordinary person. The timing of her appearance is too sensitive, and she happened to have lost her memory. Her identity is also quite suspicious. Therefore, what she represents is not just a extraordinary person with the [Light] attribute.
Everyone wanted to control her within their own sphere of influence at this moment. If only they discovered her, then Xu Zhi would have no chance of "choosing" at all. However, other forces were also watching her, so a subtle balance of power was formed between them.
"Can I think about it?"
Xu Zhi pondered in his mind. On the surface, the consortium seemed to be very sincere and relatively "aboveboard", but what was the reality?
If there was no better option, Xu Zhi would not want to sign a 20-year indenture.
"Of course, you can consider it, but please reply as soon as possible."
The man's expression was not as cheerful as before. It was obvious that Xu Zhi's hesitation made him a little unhappy, but he had no way to force Xu Zhi to answer immediately, so he could only leave this sentence.
He thought that if the girl in front of him was sensible enough, she would understand that the consortium was her best choice.
In the man's eyes, other forces can never compare to the consortium. Although they have some better advantages than the consortium, they are not as rich as the consortium.
Money can buy everything in this world. Only by working for a wealthy enough force can you get more of what you want.
After leaving the tent, Xu Zhi clearly felt that several eyes were on her. It seemed that the news of her meeting with the people from Dingxing Group had already reached other people's ears.
The "recruitment" from other forces should come to us one by one soon.
Xu Zhi touched her "wrist" and sighed in her heart that although it seemed that she had the right to choose freely, in fact, she now had to choose one of the several forces looking for her, which was like seeking the skin of a tiger.
But it doesn't matter. Once she obtains resources and improves her strength, she will tear off this skin.
Xu Zhiben was still guessing when the next person would come to see her, but she didn't expect that they would come together and so quickly.
Before she returned to the tent, she was stopped by a middle-aged man and a young girl who seemed a little taciturn.
The girl was younger than her, but she had already gained a certain status and power at such a young age. It seemed that she must have some extraordinary qualities.
Unlike the previous two, these two were particularly approachable. They actually asked Xu Zhi if they could sit in her tent.
Xu Zhi nodded hesitantly when he heard the middle-aged man's question: "Okay, but my sister is here too."
"It doesn't matter."
"Okay." The other party said this, and Xu Zhi had no way to refuse.
Did something unexpected happen?
This made them anxious, and they came to her one after another to propose conditions. Perhaps, she would be able to leave the bottom level soon?
When Xu Zhi returned to the tent, he found it somewhat inconvenient to sit in a wheelchair, so the middle-aged man walked over and knocked on the door. Almost immediately after knocking, a response came from inside the tent: "I'm coming."
Qi Yan hurried over and opened the door. The first person she saw was Xu Zhi. She was quite surprised and said, "You're back?"
After saying this, he realized that someone else had returned with Xu Zhi, and immediately became uneasy again: "Is this... a guest?"
"Miss Qi, sorry to bother you. We are just here to discuss something with your sister."
The middle-aged man smiled very friendly, but his behavior of answering before Xu Zhi showed his dominance.
Qi Yanxin made way for Xu Zhi and the other two to enter the tent, then asked somewhat bewilderedly, "Would you two like to drink something?"
After asking, I felt a little annoyed. They only had plain water to drink here, which was sent by the army.
"Don't bother, we'll just sit for a while, we have things to do later."
After saying this, he didn't look at Qi Yanxin again, as if his superficial "politeness" was enough. He turned to look at Xu Zhi and said straight to the point: "Miss Xu, you probably haven't made a choice yet. Would you like to hear the conditions we can offer?"
Xu Zhi easily felt the "arrogance" engraved in this man's bones from his words and actions, the kind of arrogance that was disguised as politeness but actually fit in well with this world.
Xu Zhi didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and even no one present thought there was anything wrong with this. This was not a "fair" world. To be honest, as an upper-class transcendent, he was considered well-educated for being able to show even false courtesy and politeness to Qi Yanxin.
In the Federation, perhaps those in power also need to understand "property and courtesy", but that is not the case here.
In just these few days, Xu Zhi has fully understood that the real world is a world with more distinct classes, more indifferent and cruel than the Federation, and people are really divided into different classes.
She nodded slightly: "Please go ahead."
