Qiu Tu heard this, smiled, and said, "Not just one."
Qing Lan puffed her cheeks, cutely nodded, and then said, "Then I should be careful. I don't want to be sold by you and still help you count the money."
Saying this, Qing Lan continued, "I'll just ask one question then."
"If you really obtain two 'Celestial Positions', why are you willing to give one? And not keep them for yourself?"
Qiu Tu looked at Qing Lan frankly and then said, "The reason is simple."
"In this world, there's no one who doesn't want to beco a Heavenly God. I used to envy and even be jealous of the Heavenly Gods, wishing to beco one myself."
"But... if it's not possible for , then I don't mind if those around beco gods."
"It's better for you to beco powerful than for my enemies to beco powerful, right?"
"If you do beco Heavenly Gods, will you really just discard and burn the bridge after crossing it?"
Qiu Tu shrugged his shoulders and said, "I trust my judgnt of character and believe you won't do that."
"Besides, my realm is the lowest among us. I'll definitely be the last to ascend to a god."
"So, I help you beco gods first, and next ti, you can help . Isn't that right?"
After speaking, Qiu Tu opened a Dinsional Space and started bringing out one by one the 'Boundless Divine Crystals' he had stored over this period.
There were those from the quasi-Seventh Tier Great Evil God 'Nine-headed Lion', the Sixth Tier Evil God 'Dongliu', and the Fifth Tier ones like 'White Mist' and 'Fox Face'...
Needless to say, as the uncrowned king of the entire 'Northwestern Region', Qiu Tu virtually monopolized the region's resources.
This made his assets incredibly rich.
The 'money' laid out in front of soone is always the most breathtaking.
Soone might have no concept of 'a million', 'ten million', or 'a hundred million', but if they've seen or even touched piles of hundred-dollar bills grouped in hundreds, thousands, or ten thousands, they will definitely feel a shake-up.
And for Qing Lan, that's exactly the case now.
To be honest, initially, Qing Lan really suspected Qiu Tu was talking nonsense, but... after hearing all of Qiu Tu's account and seeing the 'Boundless Divine Crystals' laid out in front of her, she was truly tempted.
It's easy to understand when you convert it.
If you're currently earning 3,000 bucks and aren't happy with your work, and another company wants to poach you for 3,500 bucks, you might hesitate, be torn, and weigh your options.
But... if you're earning 3,000 bucks now, and another company offers a 9,000 bucks base salary to pull you for a project, and if the project succeeds, with all the miscellaneous stuff added up, you could earn up to three hundred million!
And they sign the contract and pay upfront, would you do it?!
Now, Qing Lan is facing this kind of situation.
Regardless of whether Qiu Tu can guarantee a victory in this 'Trial' or will obtain the second 'Celestial Position', even if none of it happens, just the 'base pay' is already more than the 'Fog Hidden Association' offers!
Moreover, just like Qiu Tu said, his reputation is really outstanding.
After making it big, he treats those around him very well. If he has a bite of at, those around him have a second bite!
This is completely different from the high-pressure policy of the 'Fog Hidden Association'.
The only problem with Qiu Tu is... his strength is too weak. He can't protect Qing Lan at all. This has been Qing Lan's point of hesitation.
But now she thinks: if he can't protect , so be it. Anyway, she's already at the Eighth Rank. If she can't beat the late Eighth Rank, Peak, she'll just run!
If she can't stay within the 'Fog Hidden Association's' range, she'll move to another organization's range. If she can't stay in the 'Western Kingdom', she'll head to the 'Eastern Kingdom'.
Anyway, she's already long wanted to leave the 'Fog Hidden Association'!
Thinking this, Qing Lan finally made up her mind! She turned to Qiu Tu, looked at him with firm resolve, and said, "Alright! Let's do it!"
Upon hearing Qing Lan's words, a hint of a smile appeared at the bottom of Qiu Tu's eyes. At this mont, a number also slowly erged above Qing Lan's head: 31.
A very standard Loyalty. Representing Qing Lan's formal entry into this trial team.
And indeed, Qiu Tu kept his word. He directly pushed all the 'Boundless Divine Crystals' he took out in front of Qing Lan.
Qing Lan was stunned for a mont and then couldn't help but look up at Qiu Tu and ask, "You're giving all of it now?"
Qiu Tu smiled and nodded.
At that mont, Qing Lan felt her heart tremble a bit.
Is there really an organization in this world that pays in advance?
The 'Fog Hidden Association' would always wait until the month ended, and then withhold paynt for another month, so they'd get their funds for the previous month only at the end of the next month!
So, every ti the Divine Domain was short on money, Qing Lan just wanted to blow up the 'Fog Hidden Association'.
Now, she's finally t a different kind of boss.
And recalling last night when she overheard at 'Shuangxi Building' that 'Qiu Tu actually reimbursed Candle Dance for the fun expenses during this period'...
She couldn't help but glance at the man in front of her again.
She couldn't tell if it was her imagination, but she felt like the man in front of her looked as handso as a deity. When he smiled, his eyes seed to shimr as though stars had fallen into them!
'Qing Lan's Loyalty 6, now Loyalty 37'
...
anwhile, as Qiu Tu successfully brought a fourth trialist to his side,
Northwestern Region - Sixth Sanctuary - Princess Xi Camp.
Princess Xi, donned in armor, deeply frowned, looking at the intelligence report in her hand.
In the past few days, following her agreent with Kou Xuan, Princess Xi had swept through like a tidal wave, crushing the Alliance Army from the Kou family and occupying half of the Sixth Sanctuary.
