Chapter 561 - Arming (1/2)
The entire process did not take too long as there was not much of a conflict between Jiang Fei and the other Sects, to begin with. Jiang Fei himself wanted to arm the Sects since they would need to gain more power to prepare for future battles. If Han Tianyu had not advised him against giving away the pills for free, Jiang Fei might have done so.
After a quick and decisive discussion, Jiang Fei offered 3,000 Spirit Pills for 24 Martial Skills from the Sects. Depending on the prowess of the Martial Skill, the amount of Spirit Pills that each Sect would receive will differ.
Even though Jiang Fei could pick up Martial Skills on his own by having 0541 calculate one for him, the Martial Skills that the Sects were offering were heirlooms of several hundred or even a thousand years old. It was the accumulation of hard work and unprecedented evolution of skills. To be fair, 0541, being a hyper-intelligent computer, could further improve the martial skill in a fraction of the time taken to calculate a martial skill out of thin air. Meanwhile, Jiang Fei did not have the luxury of time to become stronger.
The Spirit Pill and the Grand Restore Pill were different. The Spirit Pill itself was a concentrated form of energy. Hence, creating it would consume quite a considerable amount of power. Almost all the power he had obtained from the European Vatican were used in producing the Spirit Pills. There was little, if any, power left for 0541 to store into its power reserve.
"I need to contact Shroder and see if the Mutant Brotherhood had some Uranium with them…"
Jiang Fei did not want to trade with the Vatican again since it would make him appear desperate for Uranium. Besides, he could also arm the Mutant Brotherhood. Although he could not trust the foreigners, he would at least place the responsibility on them to defeat the uprising Japanese scum and their Bio-Human army. Alone, the Chinese Martial Artist Alliance could not stand against an army that was tens or even hundreds of times stronger than them.
The deal was set and each representative of the Sects returned to their Sect to start picking out their offerings to Jiang Fei. Since they were competing with other Sects, they would have to offer something better than the other Sects yet not something powerful like their own crown jewel.
Now that he was finally left alone, Jiang Fei decided to return home. However, just as he turned around to leave, Yang Po and Yang Qing were seen standing at the doors, blocking his way out.
"You're on your own bro!" said Han Tianyu as he quickly made his way back to his own private office.
"Urgh…" Jiang Fei was at a loss.
"You really got yourself a girlfriend?" said Yang Po coldly, with eyes that stared straight into his soul. From Jiang Fei's perspective, Yang Po did not look angry as she was unfeeling of others. However, like a blaring alarm, Jiang Fei could sense Yang Po's silence was just the calm before a storm.
"...Yes," said Jiang Fei. Although it was too late, Jiang Fei regretted it.
"So? What about us then?" cried Yang Qing as she put up a sad look. This little rascal was nothing but a girl with a million masks. Not even Jiang Fei could tell whether her emotions were faked or genuine.
"Hey hey hey… There's nothing going on between us, okay?" said Jiang Fei awkwardly. No matter how it sounds, the situation looked like the girls were being ditched by Jiang Fei.
"So you say. But know that all members of the alliance, and perhaps even the Metahuman society knows that we are your women. What do you think would happen to us if you don't take us in?" said Yang Qing as she strode herself to Jiang Fei, looking at him with her eyes opened wide like a sad little puppy.
"Urgh…"
If he could, he would say: Don't blame me for what your master did to you! To begin with, I'd never demand the two of you!
However, it would be too harsh to lash out like that. Incidentally, Jiang Fei could not think of anything else to say.
"We do not blame you. However, since the rice had already become porridge, it's either you marry us, or we could kill you and be off with it. Naturally, we would never resort to the latter since you are too strong for us. Still, being able to die by your hands might not be a bad decision after all," said Yang Po coldly again. Sometimes, Jiang Fei wondered if the girl had any emotions in her… just like a certain Omega level superbeing.
"What!? Please don't! Why would any of this result in death?!"
Jiang Fei panicked immediately. The two sisters, one peckish and the other, snow white, had really pushed Jiang Fei to a corner.
"So, make up your mind! What do you want to do? We're already ruined by you!" said Yang Qing as tears started to collect in the corner of her eyes.
"What the hell…"
