With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal Chapter 228 - 212: Dawn’s Departure, Gambling Agreement (3k)

The offer indeed falls short.

If this news gets out, there will be other companies trying to cut in at any minute.

Yu Chengguang’s expression changed slightly and he said apologetically:

"Grandmaster Luo, we really didn’t know about this information. Let discuss this with the company executives, please hold on, I’ll be back shortly!"

...

Taking this opportunity, Luo Guanyun instructed his disciple:

"Chuan’er, later when I don’t say anything, do not nod. Hanhai has been developing rapidly in recent years and is indeed one of my ideal companies for cooperation.

But it’s important to maintain one’s dignity. If the Martial Arts Family’s strategic cooperation in the future wants to have an advantage, we must make them feel the pinch now, so they will be accustod to it later.

This bunch of bastards are just like vampires; there’s no need to feel sorry for their money."

ng Chuan nodded in understanding, knowing his master’s words, although crude, were for his own good.

Five minutes later, Yu Chengguang returned tardily.

He said kindly:

"Both of you, I have communicated with the company executives. We will upgrade ng Chuan’s Martial Artist treatnt to six million a year!

The maximum term is three years. If ng Chuan doesn’t reach Martial Arts in three years, the agreent will automatically expire according to the regulations.

Most importantly, an agreent to sign a pre-contract with our Hanhai is necessary. In the future, there will be a greater focus on cultivating ng Chuan’s comrcial value, helping him build a personal IP, and maximizing mutual benefits and wins.

Of course, if ng Chuan fails to break through the first major limit within three years, it will still be voided."

This level of treatnt is equivalent to treating ng Chuan as a Martial Arts practitioner in advance.

ng Chuan glanced sideways at his master, and seeing his master remain silent, he too remained expressionless.

The atmosphere was tense, and after a mont, Luo Guanyun slowly spoke:

"My disciple still has to practice martial arts, and I have matters to attend to, so let’s not beat around the bush.

A total of eighteen million for three years—just round it up to twenty million and pay it in one lump sum. As for those useless potions, whether pure natural or not, we don’t want any of it.

If ng Chuan breaks through the realm early, you won’t be at a loss. It will further demonstrate Hanhai’s keen insight."

Yu Chengguang looked troubled, realizing that although Luo Guanyun had given in, it was far beyond his bottom line.

This money would be a hard loss, and apart from being able to sign a pre-contract with a Martial Arts practitioner to gain an advantage, there’s no imdiate return.

"Grandmaster Luo, this seems a bit exaggerated... please hold on."

The negotiation had reached a point where soone of his level could no longer make the call, and it was fully handed over to the relevant high-level company executives to remotely control.

After saying that, he hurriedly exited. Luo Guanyun then smiled at ng Chuan and said:

"If my guess is correct, the next proposal will be a betting agreent. If you feel confident, nod and make your own decision."

"Alright."

The old ginger indeed is spicier, just as his master had said, Yu Chengguang proposed a betting agreent.

"Grandmaster Luo, after internal discussions at the executive level, and considering ng Chuan’s potential, we can sign a betting agreent. The specifics are here for you to review."

With that, he handed over his phone to the master and disciple, which contained the newly drafted electronic agreent from the company.

Luo Guanyun complained:

"A betting agreent... this ans you still don’t acknowledge my disciple’s potential. Never mind, ng Chuan, take a look first and decide for yourself."

Yu Chengguang said awkwardly:

"Grandmaster Luo, please don’t take offense. Even if Xiaong fails, he won’t lose anything. He will still receive the annual six million and other benefits."

Luo Guanyun nodded silently, acknowledging that this point was indeed correct, showing that Hanhai genuinely wanted to win over ng Chuan.

Ten minutes passed, and after ng Chuan carefully reviewed all the details, he slowly said:

"I agree."

The new agreent also included the priority cooperation rights under the sa conditions following the Martial Arts practitioner’s progression.

The biggest difference was the addition of two new clauses.

Firstly, if ng Chuan can advance to the finals as a seed contestant, the twenty million will be paid in one lump sum, and ng Chuan will need to cooperate with the final segnt of [advertising operations] (without affecting any martial arts practice ti).

If the above terms are not t, the previous version of the agreent’s benefits will remain in effect.

The advertisent should be launched in advance, so as to recoup so costs, which Hanhai can accept.

Secondly, if ng Chuan can enter the top three in the Supernova Contest finals, for each rank increased, Hanhai will pay an additional five million, with a cap of thirty-five million. Moreover, the pre-contract for Martial Arts practitioners will be upgraded to the [Dawn Embarkation] level.

Upon hearing ng Chuan’s verbal agreent, Luo Guanyun still felt uneasy.

After taking over and reading it, he was imdiately surprised and sighed at the company’s boldness.

"Dawn Embarkation level..."

This is the highest spec contract Hanhai Company offers for young Martial Arts practitioners.

Generally speaking, Martial Arts practitioners collaborating with [Hanhai] need to undergo annual qualification reviews, progressing from regular contracts of grade A to SSS, before being able to sign the extraordinary contract of the [Dawn Embarkation] level.

Its specification matches its na, no longer a simple cooperative relationship, but truly a new dawn capable of influencing the company’s developnt.

However, above it, there is an even more unconventional contract, which has nothing to do with young Martial Arts practitioners, but Luo Guanyun decided to attempt to vie for it.

He tilted his head and said:

"Xiaoyu, how about changing the pre-contract level to [Star Shining Navigation]?"

Yu Chengguang was almost in tears, and awkwardly replied:

"Please don’t joke around..."

The Star Shining Navigation level is extraordinary, being the highest talent cooperation agreent of Hanhai Company.

Reviewed every four years, it is known as the leading edge talent guiding the company’s developnt.

The last recipient was ten years ago, who was at the second major limit at the ti, now known as the Tiger Form Grandmaster [Profound Slaughter Mountain Lord·Shang Ruyi].

Luo Guanyun laughed it off and let it pass, as he was just saying it casually.

To agree to this, he was completely convinced. He had to wonder if ng Chuan’s biological father, whom he had never t, was the CEO of Hanhai Company...

The three of them talked for a while, and soon, a colleague brought over the new paper contract.

After confirming that everything was correct again, ng Chuan signed his na on it.

"Master, you hold onto it for first."

He was afraid of losing it and felt it would be safer with his master.

A mont later, seeing ng Chuan put down the pen, Yu Chengguang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This master-student pair was truly difficult to deal with. If they fully completed the performance contract, it would exceed the company’s budget plan by 50%.

However, at least the task was accomplished. If ng Chuan could truly et those conditions, Hanhai wouldn’t be at a loss.

According to Hanhai’s internal large-scale model predictions, ng Chuan had an 80% chance of reaching the finals, and a 30% chance of being a seed player.

As for the probability of him reaching the top in Shanghai, it was almost zero.

He extended his hand and smiled at ng Chuan:

"So, Mr. ng Chuan, I’m glad we could reach this cooperation, where we each leverage our own strengths for mutual benefit. We also look forward to your performance in the competition.

Hanhai’s headquarters is in Shanghai, may you reach the top and be crowned. At that ti, tens of thousands of people within the group will celebrate with you."

ng Chuan shook hands with Yu Chengguang and said:

"I’m honored to work with your company as well, and I look forward to that day."

...

It’s rare to travel far, and afterwards, ng Chuan and his master ventured downstairs to explore the nightlife of Wu’an.

Luo Guanyun advised along the way:

"With your master and United University backing you, even top-tier companies wouldn’t dare take you lightly, so you can rest assured.

But including the performance contract, if you want to maintain this ’special treatnt,’ you must be diligent and persist in practicing martial arts.

Don’t be blinded by fa and fortune."

ng Chuan nodded in agreent, understanding that everything else was fleeting—only strength truly mattered.

Luo Guanyun received a call from an old friend, then told his disciple:

"You wander around a bit more and go rest; I’m off to drink."

"Okay, Master, co back early."

ng Chuan wandered around the comrcial street. Aside from food and drinks, most things were souvenirs from the Supernova competition.

He picked up so items to take back to family and friends and prepared to return to the hotel.

Today’s Dragon ditation practice wasn’t done yet. The second little yellow dragon in his mind had already ford its head; it would still take so ti for the body and tail.

Concerning his own weaknesses, ng Chuan wouldn’t delay a single day.

...

After finishing his Dragon ditation practice, ng Chuan planned to take a shower and sleep.

Tomorrow, ng Yiyi would co to the hotel to find him, just in ti to give her the protective suit.

He took it out from the suitcase, folding it neatly, thinking to himself:

"Many Demon Nests in Taihang, sis spends all day in the mountains; it’s sowhat unsafe. I must persuade her properly tomorrow."

Just as he was about to close his eyes, his phone screen lit up.

ng Chuan swiped it open, finding a link sent by ng Jiaolong.

It ca with a ssage:

"ng Chuan, you usually don’t pay attention to this. This is a very famous competition prediction blogger. He made a video predicting the results of the second stage of the Supernova competition.

Their accuracy has been nearly 90% in the past. You can skip to around twelve and a half minutes to see the prediction for the Northern Division."

"Okay, thanks."

After ng Chuan’s brief response, he opened the link to watch.

On the other side of the phone, ng Jiaolong, seeing ng Chuan’s simple two-word reply, angrily threw pillows around the room.

A mont later, she sighed and reconciled with herself.

"ng Chuan, you big idiot!"

"Never mind, as long as ng Chuan is happy every day..."

...

After opening the video as directed by ng Jiaolong, he directly skipped to the Northern Division’s introduction.

At the sa ti, that familiar flashy yellow-robed figure filled his entire screen.

It was Zheng Chengcheng, Zheng Zhenzhen’s older brother.

"Hello viewers, after discussing the Western Division, we’ll now start with the number one seed and move downward to analyze and predict the advancent in the Northern Division.

Firstly, the number one seed provided by Old Lu is this Yanhua Special Martial Arts University main campus student, Zheng Chengcheng.

For so unknown reason, Zheng Chengcheng is competing in the Yong’an Division; throughout the preliminaries, he appeared to handle everything with ease. Even since the start of the match, he hasn’t revealed a hint of his martial prowess, allowing us a glimpse of his strength.

Moreover, he is the most prominent contender in the Northern Division, and the extent of his remaining strategies is unimaginable even to Old Lu. Hence, the first place goes to this grandson of a Celestial King."

ng Chuan nodded in agreent; this analysis was indeed insightful. While Zheng Chengcheng’s on-paper Qi Blood may not match so veteran Nine-Gate contestants,

according to Zheng Zhenzhen, Zheng Chengcheng’s ’Buddha’s Will to Cross the Dragon’ martial prowess has never truly been displayed.

Despite this, he could still defeat Luo ng’s disciple Chen Jingyi.

Therefore, even with his current significant advancent in strength, he didn’t dare claim a guaranteed victory.

Continuing to watch, ng Chuan felt a slight anticipation.

Among the ten predicted to advance, might his own na appear?
