Chapter 177 Reaching Cooperation
"We have received your sincerity, but is it enough for us to just become members of the national team? Or is there anything else we need to do after becoming members?"
"I know what you're worried about, don't worry! We are a legitimate organization and will not do anything that harms national or personal interests."
The main purpose is to vent our anger. After you obtain national competition slots, you can cooperate with our city to do some publicity to prove that you came from Chixia City.
This wasn't difficult for Lei Jun and his team; in fact, it could be said that Timai showed considerable sincerity.
Lei Jun thought about it for a while, considering the interests involved, and gradually understood why Timai made those promises.
To put it simply, it's about city promotion. If a competitor from a particular country comes from your city, proper promotion can greatly benefit your city's future recruitment efforts and attract top talent to their city.
When more top athletes come to their city to register for competitions, there will be more people from their city who can make it into the national team.
This will gradually create a virtuous cycle for their city, attracting more people and boosting their economy and employment.
Secondly, there's investment, specifically talent investment. Since there's only one spot available in the secret realm, it's guaranteed to be filled by the most skilled person who joins the group.
Competition breeds motivation, and perhaps that person will achieve excellent results in the fierce competition and enter the national team.
If someone from Crimson Cloud City is lucky enough to join them and wins the world championship, their city will take off. The world champion will also be grateful and acknowledge your kindness.
If there are other people from Chixia City who come after him, wouldn't he take good care of them? There are quite a few advantages to being invisible.
However, Lei Jun can accept all of this. If someone helps you and you feel like you've gotten a huge advantage, then that person is definitely trying to get something more out of you.
He was willing to accept offers that aligned with their interests, as long as they didn't harm the interests of their Great Xia Dynasty; a win-win situation was the key.
"Okay! But don't we need written proof? Verbal promises don't align with the spirit of a contract."
"That's for sure, we were prepared."
Maiti took out two copies of the contract from the filing cabinet next to them and indicated that they could sign their names in the signature column if they had no problems.
Lei Jun carefully reviewed both contracts, confirming there were no hidden traps and that they contained the same content as Mai Ti's. After confirming everything was correct, Lei Jun thought of something he needed to confirm with Mai Ti.
"Oh, right, I... I still have 7 brothers who haven't been summoned yet. I'm planning to summon them tomorrow. I'll ask them if they can join you after they're summoned."
Lei Jun, somewhat embarrassed, made his final request to Timai.
Maiti nonchalantly agreed, saying they could come over tomorrow and he would arrange for them to undergo the summoning process first, followed by the other surgeries to join.
In Mai Ti's eyes, pairing up with Yu Fei and Miler was already a waste of time, so it was better to also do Lei Jun a favor. All they had to give was nutrient solution to help their battle pets recover.
Although this item sells for a very high price elsewhere, it's a piece of cake for them. Li Lanjuan's Six-Winged Holy Angel is more than worth the favor they'd do for her.
After receiving a positive response from Tima, Lei Jun signed his name on the contract without hesitation.
The same was true for Miler, Yufei, and Li Lanjuan. After everything was finished, Timai invited them to have lunch together.
Yufei had long wanted to see the delicious food Miler was eating, so she readily accepted his invitation.
Finally, they got to eat the "Pupu meat" that Miler had mentioned, as well as the tender sea dragon meat from the sea, which Miler had never seen before, the winged bird from the sky, and the meat pig from the mountains—all of which were the finest delicacies of the Canghai Kingdom.
As Yufei ate, she discovered that the food in this world truly conquered human taste buds through its own flavor.
These foods were cooked in the simplest way possible, using only salt as a seasoning, but they tasted incredibly delicious.
They can only rely on their millennia-old culinary culture of Great Xia to add layers of flavor to their food through cooking. However, the best ingredients from Earth might be able to rival these other cuisines.
Yufei's eyes darkened as she thought about the worsening natural environment in the future. Perhaps even these top-tier ingredients wouldn't be able to fight anymore.
"Xiao Jun, do you think my space will allow me to raise some of the ingredients I collect here?"
"Sure, I explored this place. It's divided into two parts: the inner world and the outer world. In the inner world, apart from humans, none of the plants and animals have unlocked their genes. In the outer world, all the species have unlocked their genes."
Of course, those with unlocked genes can be planted and raised in the space, but they won't add any abilities to the space and will even consume some of its resources.
We suggest that you collect more plants and animals from the Otherworld!
The plants and animals in this world haven't had their genes unlocked yet! So if she collects too many, the space will judge it as collecting new species.
The upgrade to the fifth level of space is still a long way off, and she needs to work even harder. Otherwise, when she goes to study or does other things on Earth, others won't be able to use the array to travel through time.
Especially since they will be visiting more and more worlds later on, and maintaining these worlds will definitely take time, she simply doesn't have that much energy.
If he doesn't develop the fifth level of space soon, the maintenance time of the old world alone will exhaust her.
Before arriving in this world, Yufei had already arranged with Grandpa Zhu to hand over the task to the biologists searching for new species. On the day she came to this world, she handed them over a dozen large books of illustrated encyclopedias of flora and fauna.
Hopefully, they can bring her more new species from both domestic and international sources during these 15 days.
Having eaten and drunk their fill, Yufei and her friends said goodbye to Maiti and returned to Miler's house. Things were already getting busy there; the other seven brothers who hadn't gone to the Beast God Temple with Yufei and her friends had also finished lunch.
One person was diligently scrubbing nearly 1000 pounds of lobsters with a toothbrush, preparing for a big feast that evening.
On the other side were skewers of barbecue, already skewered and chilled with ice.
All of this was preparation for the evening's business, but who knew things would turn out so unpredictable? Today, during a trip to the Beast God Temple, Tima waived their summoning fee at the dining table.
Miler and Lei Jun figured that since they'd already done it all, they might as well keep setting up their stall as usual. Having extra cash on hand was always a good thing; they couldn't expect the Beast God Temple to quickly transfer money to them if they needed it later, right?
Fortunately, they prepared these ingredients in advance, and thankfully they didn't skip setting up their stall just because they had enough summoning money; otherwise, it would have been a real hardship for the customers who had lined up in front of the stall early in the morning.
