Chapter 682: Bluff (Part 1)
"A protective heart." Xie Xihe repeated, his expression still calm, as if he didn't realize how excessive his request was.
This time, everyone who pricked up their ears and heard it clearly were completely speechless.
Shocked to the point of numbness, numb to the point of speechlessness.
She really dared to say that she had a protective heart!
Guarding the temple has a long history, and the exact time is no longer traceable, but judging from the information handed down, it is probably nearly a thousand years old.
For a thousand years, the Guardian Hall has been secluded in a corner, and will only appear when a world war breaks out on Earth or when the Earth encounters a devastating disaster. They will do their best to resolve the disaster and save the people from danger.
In the ancient martial arts world, there is the Fan clan of Fanjing Mountain, who claim to be descendants of the gods.
But over the years, that clan has never done anything to benefit the world except using this identity to seek their own benefits.
But they are different from the Brahma people. From the moment they joined the Guardian Hall, the mark of "Guardian" was branded in their souls, and they truly fulfilled the responsibility of "Guardian".
They are the spokespersons of God in the world, walking the world and protecting the world on behalf of God!
And the protective heart is the gift from God to them.
Since the beginning of recorded history, the Guardian Heart has been in the Guardian Hall, which is presided over by the Hall Master, who has been guarding the Hall for generations. This is also the origin of the name of the Guardian Hall.
Even though no one has been able to harness the power of the Guardian Heart in the past few hundred years, and even though the Guardian Heart is now more of a symbol, in the hearts of everyone who guards the temple, the Guardian Heart is still their belief.
It cannot be defiled by anyone, let alone transferred to others.
The hall masters' expressions turned pale as they categorically refused, "That's impossible."
After all, they had not forgotten that Xie Xihe still had the upper hand over them, and that they were indeed in the wrong for guarding the palace today. After saying this, everyone tried to soften their expressions.
"Miss Xie, you don't know that although the Guardian Heart belongs to our Guardian Palace, no one except our Palace Master has ever seen it. It's not that we are unwilling to agree, but we are simply not qualified to agree." Tai Shi Su said.
"Furthermore, although the Guardian Heart is indeed extremely precious, its symbolic significance outweighs its practical significance for the Guardian Palace."
"To be honest, up to now no one in the Guardian Hall has been able to take the Guardian Heart for their own use, and they can't even mobilize one or two. Even if you get the Guardian Heart, you can only watch it. Instead of doing that, you might as well get something more practical." Tai Shi Su continued.
After exchanging glances with the other hall masters and receiving their nods of agreement, Tai Shi Su continued, "For example, the distribution of the Star Core."
"According to the original agreement, the Guardian Hall and the Future Base will jointly develop the Star Core. The Guardian Hall will provide the resources and researchers, while the Future Base will only provide the researchers. Once the development is successful, the Star Core will be distributed in a 70:30 ratio."
"We can increase the proportion of the future base by 10% from the original basis, changing it to a 60:40 split. What do you think?"
Xie Xihe lowered his eyes and pretended to ponder. After a while, he raised a finger and said, "One more thing: give priority to supplying the future base."
Taishi Su frowned and asked, "How do you prioritize?"
Xie Xihe: "Within twenty days, I will lead my team to overcome the remaining difficulties. In other words, in mid-December, the first Star Core of the [Protecting the Future] project will be available."
"For the next three months, I require the Guardian Hall to focus at least 80% of its resources on producing the Star Core. The Star Cores produced during these three months must be supplied to the Future Base first, and then to the Guardian Hall three months later. After that, they will be distributed according to the normal 60:40 ratio."
More than 80% of the Guardian Hall’s power is now used to develop the Star Core.
Originally, without Xie Xihe's participation, according to their estimate, it would take about three months to achieve success. Now they have simply shortened the research and development time and changed it to production. This has almost no impact on the Guardian Hall.
But within three months, priority will be given to supplying future bases...
Several people frowned and asked in confusion: "Why should we give priority to supply?"
He explained, "If we put 80% of the Guardian Hall's power and the future base's power into production, the average time to produce a Star Core can be reduced to about five days. In three months, we can produce nearly twenty Star Cores."
"A Star Core is almost equivalent to a superpower. The combined power of twenty superpowers is enough to rival a small country. In principle, the Guardian Hall will not allow such a huge power to be controlled by one person. The risk factor is too great."
If someone else made this request, they would probably refuse without even considering it.
But the one who spoke at this time was Xie Xihe.
As the original controller of the Core of the Starry Sky and the general manager of the [Protecting the Future] project, if she wanted, she could lead her Future Base to independently complete the research and development of this project, but it would take longer.
Given the mystery of the future base, perhaps she won't be noticed until a large number of chip people appear to guard the hall. By that time, even the guards of the hall may not be able to do anything to her.
But she did not choose to do so. Instead, she put the Core of the Starry Sky up for public auction, and took the initiative to find the Guardian Hall and reached a cooperation agreement with them, and even gave the ownership of the technology to the Guardian Hall.
That at least means that she has no intention of using the Core of the Starry Sky to achieve her own ambitions, and it is unlikely that she would use the Core of the Starry Sky to do anything that endangers the world.
From this point of view, the guardians of the hall can completely trust Xie Xihe.
"Miss Xie, could you tell me why priority supply is needed?" After clearing his mind, Tai Shi Su's expression became more gentle and he asked in a calm voice.
"For myself." Xie Xihe said.
"To be honest, my identity in this life is not the eldest daughter of the Xie family in Kyoto as known to the outside world. In fact, my parents are both from the ancient martial arts world."
"My father is the current patriarch of the Xie family in the Ancient Martial Realm, and my mother is the former saint of the Brahma clan in the Ancient Martial Realm. The reason I ended up in the outside world is because I inherited my mother's Brahma clan's holy blood. My parents didn't want me to be trapped in the Brahma clan for the rest of my life, so they adopted me out."
Xie Xihe solemnly recounted his life story, mercilessly placing all the blame on the Brahma Clan. Finally, he said, "Although I successfully rescued my parents, the Brahma Clan has never pursued my family. Over the past few months, we've been pursued no less than ten times. Therefore, I need sufficient strength to confront the Brahma Clan and completely resolve this hidden danger."
Several hall masters had not expected such a secret to exist and were stunned when they heard it: "Is this really the case?"
