Chu Feng gave a few instructions and took special care to remind Li Zhi and the others to look after their health before leaving the laboratory.
These old folks were each more precious than the next. Whether Chu Feng could take revenge and make money depended on them.
If they wore themselves out, Chu Feng would be so upset, he wouldn’t be able to find the tune to cry. Moreover, these people were not the kind you could find just by looking.
After leaving the laboratory, Chu Feng gave a couple of orders to Old Black Man sitting at the door and then directly entered the elevator, ready to return to the surface.
No sooner had he reached the surface than Black Bear ca looking for him.
"Caught a few more small fries?" Chu Feng asked Black Bear casually.
Lately, plenty of spies had been eyeing Chu Feng’s place, and nearly every day Black Bear managed to catch a few.
Black Bear nodded and said, "Indeed, we’ve caught a few more, but they were captured by the General Captain."
Chu Feng frowned and asked, "The General Captain is here?"
Black Bear nodded again, "Yes. He’s in the reception room, waiting for you, Captain."
Chu Feng pondered for a mont and muttered to himself, "That old fox certainly wouldn’t co over without a good reason. Go tell him I’m not here."
Black Bear looked embarrassed and said, "Captain, the General Captain ntioned he ca bearing gifts, so I said you were here."
Upon hearing Black Bear’s words, Chu Feng started hopping mad, "Are you stupid? Could the things he brings be worth more than what I have below? Go tell him yourself that I had an ergency and had to leave."
Black Bear continued, "The General Captain said that if you were going to say that, he would have people surround this place."
After hearing that, Chu Feng was so irritated that his teeth itched, "This old bastard is really forcing ."
"Co on, let’s go et him and see what kind of ’gift’ he has brought today." Having said that, Chu Feng took Black Bear directly to the reception room.
Once in the reception room, Chu Feng saw the General Captain of Dragon Soul, wearing his perennial black dragon-patterned long robe, waiting for him.
Although soone of the General Captain’s Cultivation was unaffected by the heat or the cold, it still looked uncomfortable to others.
Chu Feng took a seat opposite the General Captain of Dragon Soul and said, "Uncle, aren’t you hot in that? Even if you’re not hot, just looking at you makes feel hot."
The General Captain of Dragon Soul, looking at the nonchalant Chu Feng, replied, "I’m not hot. Let’s discuss important matters."
Clearly, the General Captain understood Chu Feng very well, not giving him any chance to be disruptive.
Chu Feng said, "Well, as it happens, it’s lunchti now. How about we have a al together? The boxed lunches at the construction site are pretty good. Let’s eat first."
The General Captain of Dragon Soul asked, "Aren’t you curious about the gift I have brought you?"
Chu Feng shook his head, "Not curious. You taking the initiative to bring a gift and not walking away with sothing from here is already more than I could ask for. When you leave later, I’m going to have to check and see if there’s anything missing."
The General Captain of Dragon Soul didn’t mind these jokes and clapped his hands, prompting soone to bring in an army-green box.
Upon opening the box, Chu Feng saw a full set of tactical gear. This was Dragon Soul’s latest individual combat equipnt, capable of empowering even an average person to fight ten foes.
What Chu Feng lacked most at the mont were experts, and they were not easy to find. If a set of equipnt could turn an ordinary person into an expert, then Chu Feng could temporarily rest easy.
Such a gift made it really difficult for Chu Feng to utter the words "I refuse." But if he accepted the gift, he worried the General Captain of Dragon Soul had ’ulterior motives.’ This kind of temptation made Chu Feng very conflicted.
"Rest assured, I don’t need your experintal results," the General Captain of Dragon Soul said. "Dragon Soul has a new piece of equipnt that requires a new type of energy. If your basic model turns out well, I’d hope you could give one to Dragon Soul."
Looking at the General Captain of Dragon Soul, Chu Feng said, "Uncle, you must be the worm in my stomach. How do you know all this? Have you been watching ?"
The General Captain of Dragon Soul replied, "Everyone around you is my person; do I need to spy on you specifically? And since you’ve made no secret of it to Huang Lan, do I need to keep an eye on you?"
After a pause, the General Captain continued, "Moreover, do you think I don’t know what you’re thinking? Don’t you just hope that I would learn of your progress and co to you bearing gifts? Wouldn’t that give you more leverage to negotiate?"
Chu Feng laughed sheepishly, "Uncle, you might really have misunderstood. Huang Lan simply told there was such a set of equipnt. But I truly never thought about exchanging the basic model with you. As you know, the final product will differ a lot from the model."
The General Captain of Dragon Soul said flatly, "Ten sets!"
Chu Feng had learned from Huang Lan about this equipnt, knowing the price tag for each set started beyond thirty million, which was even more expensive than a fighter jet.
Additionally, Chu Feng was aware that Dragon Soul only had a total of fifteen sets of such equipnt. The General Captain offering ten sets at once made it hard for Chu Feng to refuse.
Still, there had to be so negotiation, or how could Chu Feng’s importance be shown?
"General Captain, you know this is a regular private enterprise; I don’t have any of that military-grade stuff. These pieces of equipnt are quite expensive. If I accidentally damage them, there is no one here who can fix them," Chu Feng said with so difficulty.
The General Captain of Dragon Soul declared, "Fine, I’ll leave the maintenance and calibration personnel with you, and you’re responsible for their salaries."
Finally, Chu Feng showed a smile, "Deal. When the first batch of models is ready, I’ll personally deliver it to you."
The General Captain of Dragon Soul added, "The equipnt and the people are all in the vehicles; I’ll leave them all for you."
Chu Feng responded to the General Captain of Dragon Soul with so lancholy, "Uncle, the request I just made was your bottom line. Does that an I lost out? Should I have pushed you to a point ’without a bottom line’?"
The General Captain of Dragon Soul said in a deep tone, "One must have a bottom line in life. Rember not to overreach."
Chu Feng replied, "I never overreach. I just push my luck."
After looking at Chu Feng for quite a while, the General Captain of Dragon Soul said, "They’re right; you’re indeed very cheap."
Chu Feng exclaid, "Hey, Uncle, after all, we’re from the sa organization; heads down, heads up, we’ll still co face to face. Do you think it’s nice to speak about like this?"
After a pause, Chu Feng added, "Uncle, I won’t make things difficult. I don’t want too much. More than that and you wouldn’t be able to accomplish it, nor would you be the one calling the shots. How about you give so intelligence instead? You know what I’m lacking most right now is an intelligence system. Either you help out or you leave the intelligence system to ."
