I am a demonic cultivator, not a capitalist with a conscience.

Chapter 452 It's all over (56)

After entering, Zhuge Xingjun said with a smile, "We sent the infringement notice a few days ago, but you haven't replied. It seems your infringement has been ongoing these past few days. What's going on?"

Xi Ya did not reply immediately, but instead had her subordinates begin an investigation, the results of which were alarming.

Zhong Zheng was previously the Inspector of Changsheng Prefecture. According to the regulations, the other party has the right to directly use any information discovered by the Inspector of Changsheng Prefecture or even the entire Cultivator Management Committee without permission.

However, a few days ago, the other party resigned, and all licenses automatically became invalid.

However, there is a buffer period. If the infringement is terminated after receiving the infringement notice, compensation can be made according to the value of the other party's technique.

However, if infringement still occurs even after receiving a notification, it can be considered a provocation against the other party, and the situation becomes more complicated.

There is only one person here who would commit such a shameless act, and that is Zhuge Xingjun.

The Wenchang star governs wisdom, and wisdom is not concerned with morality; it only needs to be useful.

Although Zhuge Xingjun has some characteristics of "Zhuge Yuan", his true nature is still that of Wenchang Xingjun, and he only shows his benevolence to those around him.

(No wonder they're targeting Changsheng Prefecture; it turns out it's to stand up for Tianyuan. Was Chen Yu planning all this during the prayer ceremony, or did he develop this idea after seeing Zhuge Xingjun?)

Xi Ya had a constant stream of thoughts, each one giving her a feeling of being trapped.

It would be terrifying to be an opponent of such an outstanding person.

Perhaps that outstanding person has already made preparations for the next step, and is secretly watching him with a smile, seeing him struggle in the cage.

After quietly waiting for her subordinates to confirm all the details, Xi Ya quickly received a reply.

Standing behind Xi Ya, the subordinate whispered, "Three days ago, they left the notice at the gate and also issued a reply."

Upon learning this, Xi Ya sneered: "To actually take advantage of the slow reaction of Changsheng Prefecture, Zhuge Xingjun has quite the cunning."

"No, no, not at all," Zhuge Xingjun said with a smile. "Then, could you tell us about the copyright infringement?"

With 1,200 pieces of equipment, each session lasting five minutes, that's 280,000 sessions a day.

With six more spirits joining each game, that's 1.68 million instances of copyright infringement.

The value of "The Mystic Method of Primordial Spirit" is average, but the compensation for each infringement is about ten points of magic power, which is 16.8 million magic power.

Knowing this number, Xi Ya understood that it was a number she couldn't afford even if she sold herself.

Zhuge Xingjun had already calculated the corresponding values ​​before arriving, and was now enjoying Xi Ya's angry yet helpless expression.

Every star deity has its own dark side; this is a manifestation of both positive and negative aspects, the only difference being whether the positive side outweighs the negative side.

Wenchang Xingjun is skilled in wisdom, but his dark side is that he enjoys using his wisdom to manipulate others and derive pleasure from it.

Zhuge Xingjun was merely an incarnation; he took a small sip and stopped, then said to Xi Ya, "Assistant Xi, these are the infringement fees. When do you think would be a good time to pay us?"

"...Lord Zhuge, this way please."

Xi Ya invited Zhuge Xingjun into the secret room and directly invoked the Hidden Star Lord to transform the place into a secret space.

After confirming that there were no problems, Xi Ya said to Zhuge Xingjun, "Zhuge Xingjun, I admit defeat this time. I don't know what you need, but if I can do it, I will do it."

"Can Assistant Xi afford to use tens of millions of magical powers?"

“We can’t afford it, but we have our own methods. Don’t forget, Wenchang City is in Changsheng Prefecture.”

Wenchang City is the territory of Wenchang Xingjun. If Changsheng Prefecture wants to target that place, it has ways to do so.

After glancing at the illusory image of the Hidden Star Lord, Zhuge Xingjun knew that now was the time to ask for the moon and then negotiate.

It took three full hours for the two to emerge from inside, wiping away sweat. Negotiations between Foundation Establishment experts require the use of rhetoric, Daoist principles, and even some magical techniques; in the end, they argue over the smallest details.

Xi Ya showed all her sincerity, and Zhuge Xingjun also made a full response. Finally, the contract was settled to the satisfaction of both parties.

Fali Loan was temporarily suspended. Xi Ya coordinated and resolved some issues related to the regional lock, and subsequently provided some support to Tianyuan in terms of policy.

Xi Ya has done her best in the entire contract; it is the best contract that Changsheng Prefecture could offer.

However, since I'm not as skilled as them, there's nothing I can do about losing.

Compared to the previous compensation of 16 million in magical power, the current compensation is around 6 million, but some of the hidden benefits cannot be measured in magical power.

Looking at the contract, Xi Ya smiled wryly, but still had to thank Zhuge Xingjun.

"Brother Zhuge, thank you for showing mercy."

"You're too kind, we're all brothers." Zhuge Xingjun said with a smile, fanning himself. "In that case, I'll reinstate Zhong Zhengguan to his original position."

"Wait a minute," Zhong Zheng refused. "If you just let me be reinstated, wouldn't my resignation have been for nothing? At least let me be a squad leader!"

Xi Ya looked at Zhong Zheng helplessly: "Your moral score is not high enough."

"That's your problem. Anyway, I won't do it if you don't give it to the captain."

"...Would an honorary captain be acceptable?"

"This is acceptable."

After the notice was issued, the captain of the supervisory commission, Zhong Zheng's former superior, walked in with a livid face, gritted his teeth, and looked at Zhong Zheng, saying, "You brat..."

"I don't really like the tone of your voice. Go cook me a couple of dishes first."

"Zhong Zheng!"

"If you say that again, I'll make it extra spicy. I'll make it both extra spicy and extra spicy."

"...Would dumplings and plain water be fine?"

"alright."

With the situation largely resolved, Xi Ya could finally breathe a sigh of relief and begin cleaning up the mess that followed.

However, this was a misjudgment on her part, but fortunately it didn't escalate further and remained within an acceptable range.

As long as the vice president doesn't find out, this matter can still be controlled.

Those old bastards, the vice presidents, are out of touch with the times; their minds are full of the old ways of ancient cultivators.

Now, the vice presidents of each department are like mascots. Assistants handle most things if they can, and if they can't, they contact more departments to solve the problem together.

However, what she feared most came to pass. When Xi Ya prepared her apology and returned to the vice president's office, she saw a sight that made her blood run cold.

In the hands of the vice president, some bastard compiled this experience into a document and sent it, along with a copy of the contract, to the vice president.

Staring at the document, the vice president read it at lightning speed, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

Looking at Xi Ya, he said with a pained expression, "Xi Ya, look what you've done! How could you agree to every single condition?"

At that moment, Xi Ya knew that everything was over.
