Invincible Copy System
Chapter Summary
Yale was poisoned while fighting a ferocious beast, we would not charge him a penny for the antidote and could even provide more assistance. All the major mages had said that they were willing to pay a price and even endure personal humiliation, but the mages had to survive. Money was something magicians could earn in no time, so they didn't care about this at all.
“What you said is correct. Mr. Zhao did make those remarks, and he has always acted accordingly. However, this matter is different from before. If Mr. Yale was poisoned while fighting a ferocious beast, we would not charge him a penny for the antidote and could even provide more assistance. But this time, it was caused by his provocation. If a ferocious beast bites you, would you care about how it was injured? I'm afraid you wouldn't have such thoughts. You are right to seize on this matter, but unfortunately, we are not fools. You know Mr. Yale's behavior. This is not a contribution to humanity, but a disgrace to your Mage Guild.”
At this moment, it is absolutely crucial not to act impulsively. Mr. Renault saw that Zhao Wudi was about to slam his fist on the table, so he quickly pulled him back. He had already cornered the other party, so it was absolutely essential not to get angry. If he caused any displeasure, these things would be beyond our control. It was precisely for this reason that Mr. Renault quickly stood up and restrained the situation.
If Zhao Wudi were to speak, the situation would be completely different from Liu Ning's. Everyone knows who Zhao Wudi's backer is, which would cause a huge clash. This applies to both the Mage Guild and the Second Speaker, as these are large forces that concern the fate of humanity. Therefore, even if Mr. Perry is dissatisfied, he cannot say it out loud. He can relentlessly pursue Liu Ning, but he absolutely cannot allow the conflict to extend to Zhao Wudi. This is a fundamental issue, and if he cannot extinguish the flames, he will face dire consequences when he returns.
Everyone understands that the reason for bringing in two rational individuals to negotiate is to ensure their cooperation and keep the situation within acceptable limits. Yale isn't a rational person, and neither is Liu Ning. If this matter were entrusted to them, chaos would ensue. Don't underestimate their capabilities; they're capable of anything. If things get out of hand, will the two major powers actually go to war? That would be unacceptable for humanity as a whole. The resulting losses would be unpredictable, and the ferocious beasts would be delighted.
"Since that's the case, let's not steer the conversation away from other topics. Let's get back to the compensation issue. I'm proposing 80 billion yuan. This price might not be satisfactory to everyone. So what do you all want? If you're not satisfied, you'll have to negotiate. That way, I can discuss it with everyone. After all, our cooperation is negotiated, not something that can be decided by one person offering a fixed price."
Mr. Perry was unwilling to escalate the situation, as he sensed that the Mage's Guild's authority was no longer effective. The other side showed no fear whatsoever. He had initially planned to suppress the conflict forcefully, but the other side remained unfazed. Continuing this stalemate would not benefit them. Mr. Yale's condition could only be stabilized, but there was no sign of improvement. All the major mages had said that they were willing to pay a price and even endure personal humiliation, but the mages had to survive. There were only five mages left in the world, and even losing one would be a huge disaster for the Mage's Guild. Therefore, Mr. Perry could not bear this responsibility, and he had no choice but to back down once again.
Regarding the compensation items, Mr. Renault was prepared to forgo today, because at their level, what use was money? They definitely needed to compensate with some items; if it were all money, it would make them seem too stingy. But Liu Ning didn't think so. What use were the other items? Most members could copy them themselves, and they wouldn't need a few. The most useful thing was probably money.
When the system presented the magic crystal, Liu Ning thought he could copy one, but unfortunately it was not possible. The system had given out a quest, and if you tried to copy the quest item, it would be no different from cheating, and the consequences would be very serious.
Liu Ning sent a message to Mr. Renault using a smart device, hoping that Mr. Renault would compensate him according to his wishes. When he saw Liu Ning's request, Mr. Renault remained expressionless, but was somewhat surprised. What did this kid want that thing for? Although that thing was precious, it was only precious to magicians and was not very useful to ordinary people like us.
"Since you've let us speak, then we'll give you a figure. That building is basically useless now, so we have to rebuild it, and there will be all sorts of losses. If I were to ask, it would have to be at least 1.5 trillion yuan. If you're willing, then this can serve as the first cooperation agreement. If you're not willing, then our negotiations can end."
When the figure was mentioned, Liu Ning gasped. Was this asking for too much? Even the four major families couldn't possibly come up with that much cash. If they did, it would be a huge blow to their business. But Mr. Renault was confident. The Mage Guild could produce that much cash with ease. Since Liu Ning had asked him to ask for a large sum of cash, he would ask for 1.5 trillion yuan. It all depended on whether the Mage Guild valued Yale's life or not.
To Liu Ning's surprise, Mr. Perry didn't say much on this point and immediately nodded in agreement. Mr. Perry wasn't a fool; he knew how much money this was, but compared to Mr. Yale's life, it was nothing. Money was something magicians could earn in no time, so they didn't care about this at all. Mr. Perry's expression wasn't good either, because this was the first time the Magicians' Guild had bled. Of course, the most important thing was the conditions that followed. The first condition was too easy; the second condition would probably be even more difficult. He wondered what kind of conditions the other party would propose.
So Mr. Perry was a little scared at that moment.
