My portable grandfather refreshes every week

Chapter 250 Why are you all looking at me?
Last time, they thought it was just Xue Dinglu coming alone, so they just drove a big truck there casually. The whole group was dressed casually, and some were even not dressed at all, just wearing a piece of cloth.

This time, however, it was much more formal; they were preparing on a diplomatic level.

A black luxury convertible, and everyone was dressed in formal attire, although each person had a slightly different understanding of what formal attire meant...

The Greeks all wore laurel wreaths and pure white robes, like the kings of Athens on a procession. This was called the Doric hydon, the formal attire of the Greek gods, and the gods all liked to wear it.

The downside is that it's a bit chilly, with large areas of arms and skin exposed.

The modern-day group was dressed in suits, watches, and ties. Even Xue Dinglu had changed into a formal suit to look like an adult, instead of his usual favorite casual jacket style.

They also printed out many copies of the contract terms, as well as regulations concerning cooperation, trade, diplomacy, and other matters.

All of this was done by a few modern people, along with a few Greek strategists and advisors, and a dozen or so copies of a relatively formal diplomatic document were printed.

"So, are we just representing humanity like this? Shouldn't this be the job of your UN Secretary-General?" someone asked.

"No way, Secretary General Goodrace is swamped with this mess right now, and he's just a mediator. Don't think he has all the power," Howard said, pointing to Xue's Law. "Besides, while we may not represent humanity, we can at least represent the Earth, right?"

"Oh!"

"And I suggest that from now on, we should handle all the extraordinary matters ourselves and not reveal even a little bit to ordinary people." The old mystic complained, "I really want to kick the US military in the ass. They blew up the sacred tree like that before, causing an even bigger disaster and even killing me once. If I encounter something like this again, I really want to go to the White House and give those politicians the ultimate insult."

"Alas!"

"Cuck!"

"Hey!"

"Take me with you when it comes to the ultimate humiliation, I'm in!"

"Something's wrong with you..."

……

The group, in a grand and noisy manner, traveled in four convertibles to the dragons' settlement.

In fact, Xue's Law also quite agrees with the idea that extraordinary things in this world should be solved by extraordinary people, and ordinary things should be solved by ordinary people.

The two sides should not interfere with each other, just like parallel lines that never intersect.

After all, for them, being a world-renowned capitalist on the surface, running a multinational mega-corporation, and secretly a passing Kamen Rider cleaning up plant monsters is a much more enjoyable life than being a king.

After all, the happiness of capitalists was something that the Greek kings of the past could never have imagined.

The Dragon Clan Elders' Council was also quite formal today. Xue Dinglu saw that most of the elders' dragons, as well as the Silver Dragon King and several new generation dragons had come here.

The following time was spent in lengthy discussions between the two parties regarding the details of the agreement and cooperation.

Basically, dragons are not allowed to reveal their identities to ordinary people, nor are they allowed to display any unusual abilities in front of ordinary people (unless they knock them unconscious or hypnotize them). Dragons are not allowed to attack humans unless they are attacked with malicious intent, but they are allowed to defend themselves.

The rest were just miscellaneous details, which were argued over by Austin, Doctor Xue, and Odysseus, a handful of strategists.

At this moment, Xue Dinglu also realized why his parallel world self was so busy. Originally a PhD in clinical medicine, disaster medicine, and biology, he now had to become a clerk who treated vegetative patients and wrote documents.

He was the only clerk in the entire company.

He now works about 15 hours a day.

So when he saw the dragon race, he was so annoyed that he wanted to merge with Xue Lude and dump all the mess on his other self.

This is also someone who had no available personnel and was forced to take on the role.

Xue Dinglu glanced around... Well, it seems only he can really write documents and make plans.

The others were either Greeks who enjoyed fighting or mystics.

By midday, both sides had finished their verbal exchanges on the basic details and regulations. Although they agreed on most points and compromised with each other, they also argued for many things, as not arguing now might lead to more trouble later.

Finally, Doctor Xue produced a document.

"This is the final document regarding the plan and work to eliminate the plant monsters. We will provide intelligence, logistics, and other support, as well as combat personnel. We need your Dragon Clan to provide a certain number of personnel to support us, and to be willing to travel and wander the world with us for extended periods..."

“Wait, we have an objection here, regarding the cleanup of the plant monster corpses…” the Silver Dragon King raised his objection at this moment.

Body cleaning...

This is a major problem for their company. These plant monsters must be mixed with bacteriophages and then burned or crushed. Otherwise, if the corpses are left on the spot, they will turn into a tree after a period of time, or a tree similar to the split form of the Divine Tree.

But where would we find so many phage solutions or the resources to do so much preliminary work?

There were only a few dozen of them. So dealing with the corpses was the most troublesome and complicated part.

"What are your requirements?" Doctor Xue rubbed his dark circles; he even felt that he was going to die here sooner or later.

"The regulations stipulate a subsidy of $1000 for each plant monster killed. Could we forgo this currency and simply hand over the corpses to us for disposal?" the Silver Dragon King asked.

The others were stunned. They never expected that the other side would work for free, asking for no money or resources, and even help them dispose of the corpses.
Is there such a good thing?

Seeing the strange expressions on the humans' faces, the Silver Dragon King's expression changed. She also felt that it was too much to keep all this energy for herself. Gritting her teeth, she said with heartache, "We'll exchange it for Dragon Blood Fruit. For every 100 corpses, we'll give one Dragon Blood Fruit as compensation. At the same time, we'll buy back each corpse with human currency equivalent to one ton of grain..."

She increased her bet again.

The humans were even more stunned.

No, you guys work for free, you even pay yourselves to work?
Odysseus noticed the "Dragon's Blood Fruit" among them, and he immediately pulled Xue Lude away quietly, asking, "What is a Dragon's Blood Fruit?"

Xue Dinglu also went backstage to take a look, and then said strangely, "They have been 'fruit farmers' for other civilizations for tens of millions of years, and they have also learned to embezzle some corners of energy to benefit themselves. You can think of this Dragon Blood Fruit as a fruit that can subtly give you demigod-level (quasi-legendary level or above) strength after eating it, but it also has its drawbacks."

"Oh?" Odysseus immediately became interested and asked, "What's the drawback?"

"The effects can be cumulative if you eat too much, but your genes will be contaminated by dragon genes, and you will gradually become a dragon hybrid." Xue Dinglu complained, "By the way, this stuff is addictive, probably about the same as tobacco and alcohol."

Xue Lude also knew what the dragons were thinking. These corpses that humans could not use or dispose of were like ginseng babies to the dragons. They would definitely use the corpses of these ginseng babies as fertilizer to grow fruits suitable for dragon babies.

Most of these fruits are juiced and given to newborn baby dragons to drink, making them easier for the baby dragons to absorb. The giant dragons, on the other hand, can simply eat these plant monsters like spicy snacks.

He roughly calculated that 100 corpses would be enough to plant a Dragon Blood Tree, which would mature once a year and produce dozens of Dragon Blood Fruits without any problem.

Odysseus was stunned for a moment, then his smile became even more uncontrollable than an AK.

They don't ask for money or resources, and they even pay out of their own pockets to help them dispose of corpses. They can even offer them fruits that enhance their strength. These aren't dragons; they're their half-brothers!
Brother, you smell so good! Let's be brothers for life, and run a mercenary company for life!

Back at the negotiating table, Odysseus was in high spirits. He immediately said, "We do not need compensation in the form of food or currency, but we need 10 dragon's blood fruits for every 100 corpses in exchange."

"Impossible!" The dragons immediately became agitated and began to argue and bicker.

Odysseus struck at their vitals in an instant. With 100 corpses, they could only harvest a few dozen fruits at most. If ten fruits were taken, it would be equivalent to a year's work for nothing, which was absolutely impossible.

Then Odysseus, that despicable bastard, engaged in a verbal battle with the crowd, something he excelled at. After several hours of back and forth, they finally agreed on a deal: 100 corpses and 7 Dragon Blood Fruits. However, the humans had to hand over the right to recover all the plant monster corpses to the dragons.

Odysseus grinned from ear to ear, muttering to himself, "I had my mind set on around four, but they accepted seven. They're so gullible!"

Xue Law: "..."

This number is probably the bottom line that the dragons feel sorry for but can accept.

As for funding, he believed that as long as the dragons adapted to the rules here, they would naturally be able to earn enough money on their own. Although the Silver Dragon King was a bit dim-witted, the elders were all dragon experts.

With the final cooperation terms settled, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and was overjoyed.

The Dragon Clan was overjoyed, having returned to their homeland and found so many useful ginseng babies. They could still develop, and a vibrant future where everything thrived was just around the corner.

Meanwhile, Odysseus's three negotiation experts were overjoyed. They could become henchmen for their mercenary company, have dragons to handle their documents and clean up their corpses, and receive dragon blood fruit as a reward.

So cool!
With this thing, they can also recover to their full demigod strength. Since Xue Lude has given his approval, the world consciousness should turn a blind eye. As long as they don't affect the world of ordinary people, the world consciousness should not interfere with them.

This is a win-win-win situation!
“We agree to your terms, but we have a request that we need to discuss,” the Silver Dragon King said, taking out a scroll from the elders’ committee.

“Uh…” The group, who were about to get up and go back to the farm to open the champagne, were stunned for a moment and sat back down at the negotiating table.

"What are your requirements?" Odysseus asked.

"Our dragon race wishes to form a marriage alliance with your humans for generations to come. The dragon race will send a princess to become the wife of your leader, and the children of the human leader will also need a queen or prince to become our dragon king... In this way, we can ensure the eternal friendship between us brothers for generations to come," said the Silver Dragon King.

Everyone: "..."

Arranged marriages, it seems like it's quite normal for them to end up in a marriage alliance at the end of negotiations... right?

And then there are human leaders, they have a hammer-like leader, sigh... wait...

All eyes were on Xue's Law and Doctor Xue (whom the Dragon Clan considered twins).

Doctor Xue stated directly: "We are not responsible for married individuals!"

Then everyone's eyes turned to Xue Dinglu, which startled him from his daze: "Why are you looking at me?"
