Chapter 66 The Moral Bottom Line is Too High
"If an enemy of advanced pseudo-saint level or above appears, you will have to make up the difference of 50% of the advance payment."
"Da Xi Sui Dan" is the most advanced medicine on the market for improving physical constitution. Each person can only take a maximum of two pills, and the third pill will have no effect.
At the Shadow Alliance Club, only Gold Intermediate or higher members with enough points have the right to purchase one, which costs fifty gold coins—equivalent to 500,000 Hong Kong dollars if we don't count the premium, which is about 150 million RMB in the world before I traveled there.
Two pills would cost one million silver dollars, which means Dong Guanfei would receive half of the advance payment.
If the enemy produces a high-level pseudo-saint and Dong Guanfei stays behind to deal with it, the Fu family will have to provide an additional three million silver dollars worth of "Refining God Pills".
"Refining Spirit Pill" is an advanced version of "Great Nourishing Spirit Pill" and is mainly used for cultivation at the mid-to-late stage of the Spirit Realm.
Eight million silver dollars is equivalent to five million three hundred thousand taels of silver, which should be about one-tenth of the Fu family's wealth.
Moreover, Dong Guanfei settled the payment with elixirs, while the Fu family might only need to pay with goods worth four million silver dollars or even less.
Of course, net worth and liquid assets are two different things, but the Fu family is at least not struggling too much.
Moreover, if the enemy were to deploy high-level pseudo-saint power, it would be a catastrophic disaster for the main branch of the Fu family.
It's incredibly lucky that the Fu family was able to find someone like Dong Guanfei who was willing to help.
In fact, Fu Jianming was overjoyed.
Because Dong Guanfei's statement implies that he can even resolve the troubles caused by advanced pseudo-saints.
If this is true, it means that the Fu family will most likely survive this major crisis safely.
Moreover, the Fu family has used this opportunity to climb up to Dong Guanfei and the forces behind him, which will greatly increase their security and give them a good chance to expand their business.
Importantly, Dong Guanfei's offer was quite fair; he didn't take advantage of my vulnerability, making him an almost perfect partner.
As for the feud between the Japanese and Dong Guanfei, they first had to get past Qian Chuanzong before they could even talk about dealing with the Fu family.
Qian Chuanzong was on good terms with the Golden Eagle Federation and the Bilcardia Empire, but he was at odds with the Japanese.
Moreover, are Dong Guanfei and the forces behind him easy to deal with?
At that time, the Japanese leaders in the concessions would probably be too busy to take care of themselves, let alone both the Qian and Fu families.
Dong Guanfei has just indirectly proven his abilities again, so it's unlikely he's just bragging. Moreover, by being upfront about the unpleasant aspects of his story, Fu Jianming has even more confidence in him.
In just a few seconds, Fu Jianming made up his mind, his face solemn. "These three conditions are all fine, young man. It's just that the final allocation of the Divine Refining Pill will take some time. It may take us one or two months to settle everything."
"Sure, we can discuss those things. The key is to defeat or even eliminate the vampires."
"The Fu family needs to do its best to investigate the whereabouts of the Blood God Cult. Simply defending is too passive and the Fu family is also prone to losses. If there is an opportunity, I can take the initiative to strike."
"Okay, that's great!"
Fu Jianming was overjoyed.
The Fu family are local strongmen, and investigating enemy movements is one of their specialties.
Next, Dong Guanfei discussed with Fu Jianming for about half an hour before they left the study together.
"Yuxuan, take Mr. Li to his room."
"Yes, Chief."
Yu Xuan gave a slight bow, then respectfully gestured with her hand, "Mr. Li, please come with me."
Dong Guanfei nodded slightly to Fu Jianming, then followed Fu Yuxuan and Chunxi towards the VIP room on the southeast side.
Fu Jianming then hurried over to see his great-uncle.
A few minutes later, Dong Guanfei followed Fu Yuxuan and her servant into the guest room.
The guesthouse faces southeast and is covered with an oriental-themed wool carpet featuring flowers and birds.
The walls are covered with lake blue wallpaper, small calligraphy and paintings are hung on the walls, and the furniture is made entirely of carved mahogany.
The rosewood bed is draped with a plain-colored gauze curtain, and is equipped with a Western-style mattress, a brass bedside lamp, a rosewood bedside table, and a sandalwood incense burner.
Next to the customer service room is a small study, equipped with a mahogany desk and a display shelf, which is filled with many thread-bound books, antiques, porcelain, and the Four Treasures of the Study.
There were also servants' quarters in the corner of the courtyard, where servants who served the VIPs lived.
Outside the guesthouse is a small courtyard garden paved with bluestone slabs and decorated with rockeries, orchids, goldfish tanks, and more, where guests can stroll and enjoy the scenery.
Fu Yuxuan said gently, "Mr. Li, what do you think? Please feel free to point out any areas that need adjustment."
As Dong Guanfei gazed at her radiant face, an idea suddenly popped into his mind—to have her warm his bed and see if that could stimulate her to activate the system's mission.
But he quickly dismissed the idea.
He was able to say those things to Qian Huibao and Zhang Wanxin because he was quite familiar with them at the time, there was an element of playfulness involved, and it was their inner thoughts that provoked him.
Now, if he were to make this request directly, even as a joke, it would be going too far, making him seem tasteless and even taking advantage of someone in distress.
Sigh... my moral standards are still too high...
Dong Guanfei sighed inwardly, but smiled slightly at the same time, "The guesthouse is very good, there's no need to make any changes. Also, Miss Fu, I usually don't leave the guesthouse until after nine in the morning, so you don't need to come too early."
"Okay, Mr. Li, I understand."
"That's settled then, Miss Fu. In case of emergency, just shout for me. As long as we're in this part of the estate, I can hear you."
"Yes, Mr. Li, shall I call over two maids who serve you now?"
"Okay, you can go back and rest after they arrive. Thank you for your hard work today."
"Yes, I dare not accept such praise."
Fu Yuxuan then turned to look at Chunxi, who was over twelve years old. Chunxi immediately ran off to call for help.
In fact, a middle-aged male and female servant were already waiting outside the door leading to the courtyard garden.
Soon, they followed Chunxi over.
Dong Guanfei immediately told them to prepare hot water for a bath. He had been training hard in the mountains for the past few days and wanted to relax tonight.
Fu Yuxuan then took her leave and departed with Chunxi.
At the same time, Fu Jianming met with his great-uncle Fu Tianchun.
When Fu Tianchun heard that Dong Guanfei could perceive his cultivation level from such a distance, his face immediately showed undisguised emotion.
You should know that, in his perception, Dong Guanfei was just a mid-level peak fire magic cultivator.
In other words, he actually lost in this silent contest.
After Fu Jianming finished explaining the employment agreement he had reached with Dong Guanfei, Fu Tianchun found it even more unbelievable.
A mere young man can actually deal with a high-level pseudo-saint?!
Fu Tianchun couldn't help but wonder if he had wasted his life before.
No, that's not right!
Only the legendary immortals of the past could have accomplished such a feat at the same age.
He was initially a bit arrogant, thinking he would find a suitable opportunity to meet Dong Guanfei in a few days, but now he couldn't wait any longer.
