Chapter 979 - Magical Energy Loan (1/2)
In the Land of Heritage, inside the headquarters of the Truth Department.
After listening to Qiao Zijiang’s report, Ren Ruofeng was considerably shaken.
He could not help but let out a sigh, “Sure enough, the Venerable Dragon God had not come up with a rare skill like the “Nine Transformation Golden Core Technique” out of the kindness in his heart, but because he has an impeccably profound foresight.”
Qiao Zijiang nodded, “According to the information obtained from the Red Queen, among the 470million entry-level cultivators, more than 90% of them cultivates this skill. Only most of them do not know the true power and strategic value that this deceivingly common skill holds.”
“Yes, ordinary people always think that only the rare is most precious, but they don’t know that the most common items are often the most valuable. No one knows the weight of the things they possess, only when they lose it, do they realize its true worth. Such as air, water, land, and time…” Ren Ruofeng exclaimed somewhat woefully.
“Grandfather Ren is also very powerful, haven’t you also created the “Cultivation of the Spirit”? Different paths lead to the same destination, they say that great minds think alike, and it is truly so.” With her uncle’s resurrection on the line, Qiao Zijiang hedged in a few words of praise.
She knew too well that if it were not because of Elder Ren’s respect for her uncle, in this time of crisis, resurrecting her uncle was definitely nowhere near the top of their list of priorities. There many other important things that needed to be done, such as training young people who had the potential.
However, unlike those youngsters that have received God’s Missionary, her uncle had something that none of did; that was his unwavering stance.
This was something that should never be underestimated. In the organization, capabilities were definitely not the foremost important evaluation factor; if one’s position was not steadfast, even if they had strong capabilities, it would only do more harm.
That was exactly why her uncle had been regarded highly by the rest of the Elders.
He had the power and capability, and an immovable stance with an honorable character and was willing to sacrifice himself for the better good. A talent like him was so hard to come by.
Hearing this Ren Ruofeng found himself inadvertently swayed as he waved his hand, “Oh, it’s not the same. The difficulty level between the two is poles apart. Spiritual cultivation requires one to only share the same belief system and it easy to accumulate, just like those who believe in Gods; cultivating magical energy, on the other hand, varies according to the person. With our potential and cultivation, we’ve still a long way to go before we’re able to produce a skill that can be practiced by all and allow such magical energy to be intertwined and interoperate among one another.”
“Even the Upper Realm does not have such a skill. Although many devils and even Gods from the Upper Realm have the power to consume other’s cultivation, those powerhouses are rare and few. The Venerable One must have used the Dragon Clan’s secret technique to create such a powerful, universal skill.”
Qiao Zijiang secretly agreed with him, but thought it would be unwise to follow along with the other’s words, she could not possibly say that he was not as good as the Venerable One, could she?
“There’s no other way left. I may just have to bring out my brass neck again and ask that old woman to distribute some more magical energy…” Ren Ruofeng said with reluctance.
Then, Qiao Zijiang offered a suggestion, The “Magical Provenance”, along with another Magical Energy Bank, all have close ties to the Venerable One. Could we directly take out a loan from them?
“Well, the Venerable One is indeed a fair and honest man. Even though both these commercial organizations belong to him, he has never been misappropriately taken out the magical energy deposits,” Ren Ruofeng fell into deep thought for a moment before he finally grit his teeth and said, “Alright, we’ll put down the revenue of next year’s pill sales from our assets outside as mortgage and take out another loan from these two organizations for another billion Dan unit worth of magical energy.”
…
At Vigilante A’s farm villa.
As Fang Ning was making himself tea he could not help but remember the good old days of the past where he had never had to do these things by himself.
Damn those evil spirits!
At that moment, a message arrived from Ren Ruofeng stating his request to take a large sum loan from the two magical energy deposit organizations…
“Eh, Big Billionaire Host, I’ve almost forgotten all about this,” Sir System exclaimed excitedly as if he had just discovered a new frontier, “The Magical Provenance run by the Whitestone people, and the Magical Energy Bank managed by Robert, are actually all controlled by us from behind the scenes. I could actually divert the magical energy deposited inside for emergency use.”
Fang Ning sneered, “Look at you, forgetting righteousness in the face of a little profit, how could you say something like diverting magical energy? Those magical energy deposits don’t belong to us, they belong to the depositors, misappropriation of magical energy for personal use goes against the principles of business, and it’s definitely not in line with the Chivalry Rules. If we want to use it, we have to go through the borrowing procedures, and we need to pay it back. If Ren Ruofeng takes out a loan using the name of a big organization like China, then we don’t have to pay it back. They also have a high guarantee on their repayment ability, as long as we manage to get rid of the Spirit General, their production will be restored. One year’s worth of pills is more than enough to pay back the loan, this is a textbook win-win situation.”
“That’s so complicated, but at least the establishment of these two organizations finally have some use,” Sir System said begrudgingly, “I didn’t expect for the Big Billionaire Host to have such profound foresight, even I have to admit that I’m not as good as you.”
“Hehe, now you understand while my plotting capabilities may not be as good as those intelligent ones, but it’s more than enough to utterly crush you.” Fang Ning exclaimed proudly.
“Yes, yes, I’m just an ordinary System.”
Ignoring the second-rate System, Fang Ning quickly called up the heads of the two organizations to have them discuss the terms and details regarding the magical energy loan with the people from the Truth Department.
