Holy cow.
It's all a bluff.
The moment Qin Mu finished listening, he knew these people were all bluffing.
What initial capital, what monthly Cultivation fees.
They mentioned all the benefits.
But not the pay.
There's no such thing as a free lunch.
"What are the requirements?"
Although Qin Mu was short on money, he wouldn't carelessly throw away his Life for it.
Ling Qianxue looked at Qin Mu with envy.
Not many people were not moved by 50 million, especially for an ordinary person; the difficulty was even greater.
"Core members must do tasks once every month according to Alliance requirements. Of course, during the early stages there won't be many dangerous missions~ Since Alliance invested funds, it will naturally ensure Genius is safely used so the investments can be returned.
"Outer members have no task requirements, only Vicious Beasts must be sold to the Alliance."
At this moment.
Ling Qianxue spoke from the investors' standpoint.
Where did tens of millions of credit points come from? It's fine to use them for investment and take risks; but to deliberately send a Genius to their deaths-that would be plain idiocy!
Guo Youwei also didn't mince words.
"For the Martial Arts Hall, there are no outer members, only core members for a Genius."
"Early stage tasks are zero. Only cultivating well is the task for a Genius. For an S-Class Genius contract, the tasks will only be assigned at Martial General Ninth Rank, or Grandmaster."
Speaking of which.
Suddenly, Guo Youwei stopped.
The emphasis by Qin Mu on the demands of the contract was rather different from that of the previous Geniuses.
Yet, it would appear this Young Miss was risk-averse.
Simply put.
He was the kind to save his skin.
He didn't want to risk his Life for a contract, which was natural; no one wanted to lose their Life over a piece of paper.
He won!
When Guo Youwei thought of this, he knew he had won.
"Qin Mu, there's one more thing you need to know."
"The Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance are businessmen. You just heard, an investment needs a return."
"For them, the return from a Martial Artist lies in hunting Vicious Beasts."
"A large number of hunting tasks are not avoidable."
"But the Martial Arts Hall doesn't need that!
"The Jiangcheng Martial Arts Hall mainly Cultivate Martial Artists. Earning money is merely enough to maintain the Martial Arts Hall's operations. Our mission is to defend Jiangcheng, develop Jiangcheng, strengthen Jiangcheng, with the ultimate goal of taking back the territory taken by Vicious Beasts."
From this point of view.
Guo Youwei said with confidence, "Hunting Vicious Beasts is not our principal objective. Investigating Vicious Beasts and clearing Vicious Beasts are all based on safety as a prerequisite. After all, powerful Martial Artists are our greatest reliance."
"The mission of a Martial Artist is to defend Jiangcheng. Your family also is here in Jiangcheng. Would you abandon them and flee?
"If so, then even if our Jiangcheng loses a Genius Psionicist today, we will not allow any force to accept you!"
"Martial Artists don't need cowards!
It's okay to cherish one's Life, but one cannot lose one's integrity!
Qin Mu's heart tightened as he thought, "When the country falls, where will the home be? I still understand this principle!
The difference in money between the two contracts was 20 million.
To be frank.
Qin Mu really felt he wouldn't need that much.
Safety was his main concern.
Capital?
CAPITAL was ready to give money, but capital would also want your LIFE!
To join a force or not.
Qin Mu had also figured this out last night.
Cultivation in the Six Doors is good.
It would be easy to cover up a killing with a special Martial Artist regulation. Even if it were a local Gang, overflowing with evil, the case was concluded in a hurry without asking even ten questions, clearly beyond the bounds of ordinary people.
The Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance was a strong force indeed, but its roots were ultimately with the merchants.
No matter how rich the merchants were, they couldn't compare to the power of Jiangcheng Martial Arts Hall.
Because this was a Martial Arts Hall established by Jiangcheng, a Martial Arts Hall affiliated with the Federation.
This was Dragon Star's largest power structure!
Having money and power, he got the safety he required, and his family's safety too.
This damn world.
Qin Mu currently did not have the ability to change it.
First, protect himself, then talk about other things.
Only the people who were living in the tenement building knew about its security.
It all depended on luck whether one survived or not.
Qin Mu would not bet the Lives of all his family for a little meaningless sense of illusory freedom.
"I'll join the Martial Arts Hall!
Qin Mu made up his mind almost without thinking.
Ah!? Ling Qianxue was dumbfounded on the spot: "20 million! A difference of 2 million per month, another 20 million a year? Such a huge difference, why?" This was her first investment.
To be frank.
Ling Qianxue was determined to win, even against a Martial General Ninth Rank supervisor like Guo Youwei, she had to give it her all.
As for funds, she even used her father's maximum authority, upping it by 20%!
The S-Class contract of the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance was at most 40 million.
Only the twelve spokesmen of the Ten Thousand Merchants Alliance had the right to raise it by 20%!
50 million!
Far surpassing the other party.
She would lose that?
I don't believe it!!
"Hahaha!"
Guo Youwei burst out laughing, saying :
"Indeed a youth should choose the Martial Arts Hall, Cultivate, develop, defend their home and make further progress!
"As for wealth, once you have the ability, you can earn it naturally however you wish~"
"A single Grandmaster-Rank Vicious Beast can sell for over ten million. Strength is a Martial Artist's greatest wealth!!!"
Heh heh.
Qin Mu didn't think that way.
His best asset was safety.
Level up one Rank per day.
I will be invincible by idling!
Must it be a desperate fight?
You don't need to do that!
Qin Mu finally understood.
"Find a safe place and idle!
"I will be invincible!
.Guo Youwei projected the contract from his smart system device: "You can look at the specific terms, or you can let this Young Miss Ling help you study it."
Ling Qianxue was still in a daze.
Qin Mu still needed to study the contract himself. After his Mentalist Rank increased, his thinking ability and memory also improved.
Now, he could read ten lines at one glance, and there was no hindrance in reading the contract; instead, he quickly understood all the terms.
"No problem."
Other than defending Jiangcheng, the Martial Arts Hall contract did not have any other rigid requirements.
The tasks and arrangements were all developed in a progressive manner. If you wanted to focus on Cultivation, you could completely refuse hunting tasks and postpone their execution.
This basically met Qin Mu's minimum requirements.
At the same time,
The Martial Arts Hall would also have other tasks, either guiding junior Martial Artists or participating in the Twenty-Four City Martial Dao Exchange Meeting. "Okay."
Then after reading it, Qin Mu pressed his handprint directly on the projection and confirmed the contract with a live recording.
"Hahaha, good!"
Guo Youwei waved his hand, directly transferring 20 million to Qin Mu's account.
"There are still 10 million left; I will apply to the Hall Master, and in a few days, it will arrive."
"You can first familiarize yourself with the weapons and equipment in the Martial Arts Hall's Cultivation room, then buy them. The Martial Examination in a few days does not restrict the use of Advanced equipment, which will be great for your results."
Oh, right!
Guo Youwei added, "We still need to confirm your Mentalist Rank."
Saying that.
He ignored the still dazed Ling Qianxue and pulled Qin Mu to the testing ground directly. "Mentalist is a very peculiar ability.
"The scientists of Dragon Star have tried their best, yet still cannot fully understand this ability, not even accurately test it."
Inside the testing ground.
Guo Youwei had prepared a blunt dagger for him.
"Use your Mentalist to control it and forcefully smash it into the punching power tester! Don't worry about breaking it. This punching power tester is specially made for Mentalists, its strength is comparable to a Grandmaster's!"
Whew~
Qin Mu silently took a breath.
Since they already knew about Mentalists, there was no more need to hide.
At this moment, he truly realized the benefit of being a Genius Martial Artist.
He did not have to do anything.
And 30 million was credited to his account. If he did nothing, just slept at home, he would get 3 million that month!
What kind of treatment was this?
It was outrageous, the likes of which he couldn't even believe!
Brilliant!
Priceless.
But it was on the basis that you must show the relevant talent.
Qin Mu raised his hand, controlled the dagger, and focused, "Break!"
All his Mentalist power suddenly erupted.
Bang!
The tester for punching power vibrated instantly.
While the dagger acted as if it were stuck there and did not bounce off.
The projection beside it showed the correct digital display.
"3520KG!"
Hiss!!
Guo Youwei almost gasped loudly, excitement filling his heart: "Awakened, and already Mentalist Rank Three!?" "If he fully Awakens, won't he be able to advance to a Martial General?"
