Looking at the expectant faces in front of him, Lin Xingyou could hardly suppress the smile on his face.
Of course, clearing up the weirdness couldn't be free. This wasn't a public matter, it was her private matter.
so……
"I want to charge a little bit for my service. You guys won't be so shameless as to let me work for free!" she said with a smile.
When they heard the word "labor fee", the others' faces froze and their expressions looked a little embarrassed.
They originally wanted to make some money from her, but they didn't expect that the person in front of them was such a stingy miser.
And her next two sentences blocked whatever they were going to say next.
After all, they are here as representatives of China's five top bases. No matter what, they cannot admit it and damage the reputation of their own base.
The most feared thing in cooperation is the damage to reputation, which is more terrible than boasting.
Finally, the representatives of the major bases gritted their teeth and agreed, and then someone asked:
"I wonder what the labor fee is, Mr. Lin?"
Lin Xingyou smiled easily, raised her hand and gently brushed the hair on her temples, and said nonchalantly:
"Not much. My personal labor fee is based on the minute I appear."
Hearing this, the people below suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, glad that Lin Xingyou did not ask for too much.
Only Peng Fei thought it was not that simple and asked curiously, "How much is it?"
She raised a finger to emphasize, and her tone suddenly changed, "One hundred thousand crystal cores per minute, one million crystal cores per ten minutes, all of which are considered friendly prices."
"One hundred thousand per minute!!"
"Why don't you go grab——"
Some were surprised, some complained, but Lin Xingyou remained unmoved.
"I want to grab it too, will you let me?" she asked with a joking smile.
Everyone: Nonsense! Of course not.
"Boss Lin, your labor fee is a bit outrageous?" Peng Fei knew it was not that simple.
Lin Xingyou raised his eyes slightly and asked in a cold voice: "Based on my means and the settlement method of castles in the air, do you think it is too expensive?"
Everyone avoided her scanning gaze and lowered their heads in embarrassment.
In fact, considering the capabilities of their top base, Lin Xingyou’s fees are indeed cheap.
She did not ask for a specific crystal core, but rather the total amount of crystal cores after conversion.
But they couldn't swallow this humiliation and wanted to argue for themselves one last time.
Unexpectedly, the person in front of them didn't buy their tricks at all. She was even more shameless than these old foxes and didn't look like a young woman in her early twenties at all.
"Is it expensive?" she asked again.
"It's not expensive." The others raised a stiff smile on their faces.
"It's settled then."
Lin Xingyou's eyes darkened and he immediately slammed the table and made the decision.
As for the irregular rise and fall of the blood mist's altitude, it is now only characterized as fluctuations that are not stable enough.
Only Lin Xingyou knows the real reason, and he can't wait to awaken the strange world.
After they left the meeting room, Lin Xingyou finally remembered, "Which base should we go to first?"
The ten people looked at each other, and finally gave the first chance to the Dawn Base, also wanting to try whether Lin Xingyou really had that ability.
After getting the answer, Lin Xingyou turned to look at Peng Fei who had arrived late.
"When are we going to the Dawn Base? Let me make it clear first, I'll charge you first and then do the work. Otherwise, there's no point in talking."
Peng Fei was stunned for a moment, then looking at the gloating eyes of the people around him, he immediately realized that he had been fooled when he was away.
However, the strange attack will continue since nightfall, so it would be a good idea to try Lin Xingyou with the not-so-many crystal cores.
"Go now." He agreed immediately.
"Let's go."
Seeing how straightforward he was, Lin Xingyou waved his hand, raised his feet and walked towards the door.
But when she walked to the area of the random door and turned back, she found that Peng Fei was still standing there motionless.
"Why are you standing there? Let's go?"
Peng Fei took a few steps forward, looked at Lin Xingyou's inappropriate outfit, frowned and asked, "You're just going to wear a skirt?"
"What's wrong? The skirt is pretty nice."
Lin Xingyou was puzzled. She lowered her head and tugged at the long skirt woven with gold thread. The moment she let go, she could still hear the crisp sound of the gems on the skirt hitting each other.
Peng Fei held his forehead with his hand, "That's not what I'm asking. It's not convenient for you to move around in a skirt, right?"
Lin Xingyou's bright golden eyes looked straight at him, as if pondering the truthfulness of his words, and finally woke up in surprise.
"It's really not suitable."
Peng Fei heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Then go change..."
"It gets dirty so easily. I have to wear a cloak to keep out the dust, and a veil."
Peng Fei: ? ?
As he spoke, Lin Xingyou took out a purple dark gold cloak from the card and put it on, taking the thin veil with him.
Peng Fei now really had a black question mark face.
"Does it feel convenient to you?"
"It's quite convenient." Lin Xingyou turned around happily, feeling uncomfortable with him staring at her. She frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "Why do you care what I wear? It's not you who wears it."
Peng Fei: I can’t refute it.
"Whatever!"
He was a little tired after today's trouble, so let her do whatever she wants!
Dawn Base
The sky was shrouded in blood mist, and it was pitch black. Not even the cold moonlight could be seen. The whole world seemed to have fallen into an endless abyss.
Only the important central area of the base had lights on. At the intersection of the middle and outer areas, there was only a circle of starlight surrounded by burning firewood, while the rest of the outer area was dark.
Perhaps the defense formation has been strengthened every day recently. Some important locations can still see things by using mirror reflection, but the periphery is covered by blood mist and you can't see your hand in front of you.
Even if someone deliberately lit a fire to light up the surrounding light sources, visibility would eventually become pitifully low due to the blood mist.
When the Dawn Base learned that the owner of the Castle in the Sky was coming, even the highest commander was alarmed, but he only told his subordinates to give a good reception.
It was Lin Xingyou’s first time to step foot in the Dawn Base. As it was at night, they only gave her a rough introduction to the layout of the base. They also wanted to take her to the center for a tour, but she quickly refused.
"I'm in a hurry. Get the crystal core first and start the preparations."
The receptionist was speechless for a moment and had to look to Peng Fei beside him for help.
"Do as she says."
Facing this moody ancestor in front of him, he was also helpless.
When Lin Xingyou got the three million crystal cores, she took out a pocket watch from her bosom and said seriously:
"You have exactly half an hour to give the crystal core. I will start counting from now on."
Peng Fei’s inner thoughts: It’s up to you, there are plenty of Crystal Core Dawn Bases.
She put away her pocket watch and looked at Peng Fei beside her. "Take me to the edge of the base."
"Okay, come with me."
Lin Xingyou paused, and when she saw Peng Fei's puzzled eyes, she added one more sentence for emphasis:
"The ultimate ownership of the monsters I transform can only be mine. The crystal cores you pay are just the labor fee for exterminating the monsters. The cost of transforming the monsters is charged separately."
Peng Fei's face darkened again. No matter how good his temper was, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart at all when he met someone as shrewd as Lin Xingyou.
"You are such a qualified businessman," he said through gritted teeth.
On the other hand, when Lin Xingyou on the opposite side heard his evaluation of himself, his naked body in the dark looked particularly eye-catching.
"Thank you for the compliment."
