Xiao Jue's eyes swept over the "gift" with a calm expression: "Pang Xingxing, you are too polite. This item is too valuable. I appreciate your kindness, but please take it back."
"Hey! General, what are you talking about!" Pang Youfu continued to smile. He took a step forward and lowered his voice with a kind of intimacy of "you and I know each other well". "This is a little gift from our Wanyao Alliance, and more importantly... a sincerity!" He winked, and the two strong men behind him immediately stepped forward and forcefully lifted the heavy rosewood cover!
The moment the lid was opened, a rich, indissoluble aroma, a blend of hundreds of top-grade medicinal herbs, instantly erupted. The medicinal vapor, almost condensed into a tangible substance, rose in a thick mist! Inside the "coffin," there was nothing terrifying, but instead, it was divided into countless exquisite compartments. Within each compartment lay a rare medicinal herb that would drive any pharmacist crazy:
* Nine-Leaf Resurrection Grass: The leaves are flowing with colorful rays of light.
* Ten Thousand Year Blood Ganoderma: Its entire body is as red as blood jade, emitting a majestic vitality.
* Chalcedony Lotus: The petals are like the purest mutton-fat jade, and a golden light dances in the lotus heart.
* Ice Soul Cold Star Fruit: The fruit is ice blue in color, with twinkling stars on the surface, giving off an air of chill.
* There are also ambergris, phoenix blood stone marrow, star sand... a dazzling array of jewels and precious stones, and the aroma of medicine is overwhelming!
This "gift" is priceless! Enough to buy a city!
Pang Youfu watched with satisfaction as the shock flashed across Xiao Jue's guards' eyes (though Xiao Jue himself remained expressionless). His smile deepened, tinged with a barely perceptible arrogance. "General, please look! This is the 'Hundred Treasures Medicine Coffin' that our Ten Thousand Medicine Alliance has amassed over a hundred years of experience, searching across the four kingdoms and eight wastelands! This sincerity demonstrates the deep admiration within the alliance for the 'Medicine God System' you and your wife created!"
He changed the subject, revealing his true intentions: "Of course, the art of medicinal materials is extensive and profound, and it is beyond the ability of one company to perfect it. To avoid uneven quality and disrupting the market, and to ensure that the general's reputation as the 'God of Medicine' is forever solidified, our Wanyao League is willing to form the closest alliance with the General's Mansion!" He pulled out a golden contract from his sleeve like a magic trick, and the material was neither silk nor satin, and presented it respectfully (but with a sense of not allowing refusal) with both hands.
"This is the draft of the alliance! As long as the general signs this agreement, all the medicinal materials needed for the 'Medicine God System' will be supplied exclusively by our Wanyao Alliance at the best price! The General's Office only needs to oversee it in name only and reap the rewards! And you, General, will be the worthy representative of the Medicine God on earth, worshipped by millions of drug dealers in the Wanyao Alliance!" His voice was filled with temptation. "From now on, wherever the fragrance of medicinal herbs reaches, it will be your territory! Wealth and honor will be at your fingertips!"
The contract trembled slightly in Pang Youfu's hands, the terms and conditions flowing with a faint golden glow, clearly imbued with some kind of contractual spell, exuding a powerful binding force. The core of the contract was two words: "monopoly"! The General's Mansion handed over the power of medicinal material procurement and distribution channels, becoming the glittering signboard and amulet of the Ten Thousand Medicine Alliance.
**Section 2: Abacus pop-up window and pacifier quality inspection**
Just when Pang Youfu was feeling complacent and thought that this "Hundred Treasures Medicine Coffin" and the monopoly agreement were enough to impress (or intimidate) this decisive and ruthless general—
"Tada tada..." A burst of brisk footsteps was heard.
The eldest, Su Chen, clutching his golden abacus, walked into the front hall with a blank expression on his face. Behind him, the second, Su Heng, held a golden pacifier in his mouth. The third, Su Yu, had a dragon horn atop his head, a curious rainbow light gleaming. The fourth, Su Qi, was being led by A'Luo, clutching a glowing firefly Gu in his little hand. These adorable children had clearly been drawn in by the bustle of the front hall and the overwhelming aroma of medicinal herbs.
When Pang Youfu saw the delicate children, especially Dabao holding an abacus, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes, but the smile on his face became even wider: "Oh! These are the unicorn children of the general's family, right? They are indeed like dragons and phoenixes! Come, uncle has some candy here..." He pretended to take something out of his arms.
Dabao Su Chen didn't even look at him, his big dark eyes locked directly on the golden contract in his hand. The little guy seemed to be attracted by the energy fluctuations and the complex terms and conditions in the contract.
[Ding! High concentrations of 'Deceitful Merchant's Power' and 'Unfair Terms and Conditions' detected! Target locked: Golden Contract. Component Analysis: False Promises 37.5%, Coercive Constraints 25.8%, Hidden Traps 18.3%, Ineffective Flattery 12.1%. Actual Benefit Distribution: General's Mansion <5%.] The venomous system's voice accurately complained within Su Chen's consciousness.
Su Chen frowned, as if he felt uncomfortable with the aura of the contract. The karma abacus in his arms seemed to sense the mood of its young master, and with a soft hum, it instantly broke free from his arms and floated into the air!
Countless golden beads broke away from their original orbit like a startled swarm of bees, and turned into tiny golden streams of light, shooting towards the contract in Pang Youfu's hand like a torrential rain!
"Hey?! Young Master! You can't do that!" Pang Youfu was horrified. It was too late to hide! The contract was enchanted!
Puff puff puff puff!
The dense, gentle sounds were like rain hitting banana leaves. The golden beads didn't damage the contract itself. Instead, like the most skillful weavers, they instantly penetrated the layer of magical golden light on the surface of the contract and densely inlaid and arranged themselves in the blank space of the unfolded text!
The beads stopped ticking, and golden light shone. In the most prominent position of the contract, a line of extremely clear characters, composed entirely of beads, appeared:
**[Warning: False promises detected! The overall counterfeiting rate of related medicinal material samples is 37.8%! The detailed table is as follows:]**
Beneath this warning, the beads automatically arranged themselves, stretching out countless tiny golden threads, pointing to the core drug supply commitments mentioned in the contract. A scrolling virtual list of beads instantly appeared nearby!
