Swallowing the Stars: Sacrifice to Become Stronger, Fiancée is Alluring

Chapter 12 New Treatment

Before anyone else could speak, Manager Zhuge continued:

"The villas in Mingyue Community are of average quality. I'll arrange one for you in the main urban area of ​​Jiangnan. The initial investment was 20 million... I'll increase it to 200 million."

"In addition, you can choose any three guiding techniques and manuals from the Limitless House's online store, with no price limit. Finally, there is a set of weapons and equipment, with no restrictions on price or model, but you need to choose according to your strength."

Upon hearing the new conditions proposed by Manager Zhuge, Jiang Lan blinked.

It was more generous than he had imagined.

"So, are you satisfied with these conditions?"

"Manager Zhuge asked."

Jiang Lan shook her head slightly, which surprised Manager Zhuge.

"You're not satisfied?" He immediately replied, "It's okay if you're not satisfied, just add more. I'll increase your start-up capital from 200 million to 500 million. Don't think it's too little. Martial arts schools have their own rules. This money is all my personal subsidy to you."

"No, that's not it. I'm very satisfied with the terms; two hundred million is enough. It's just that I'm used to living here and don't want to move to the main urban area."

"Oh, I see..." Manager Zhuge suddenly realized. "It's alright, you can stay wherever you want. Here's what we'll do: I'll arrange a villa for you in both Mingyue Community and the main urban area. You can stay wherever you want then."

"Thank you, Manager Zhuge."

"Don't call me Manager Zhuge anymore, my name is Zhuge Tao. Actually, your abilities aren't much worse than mine. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Tao."

"Brother Tao."

Jiang Lan nodded. He already knew Zhuge Tao's name, but since the other party hadn't introduced him, he couldn't just reveal it directly.

"If the conditions are acceptable, I'll draft a contract right now." Zhuge Tao explained, as if afraid Jiang Lan would overthink things, "It's not to restrict you, it's just business."

"Wait a moment," Jiang Lan said. "I have something to do before signing the contract."

Zhuge Tao was taken aback at first, then said:

"You said, as long as it's not beyond my capabilities, it's fine."

"Should I also participate in the upcoming martial arts assessment?"

Upon hearing Jiang Lan's question, Zhuge Tao nodded and said, "Normally, yes. However, given your current strength, if you don't want to participate, that's not impossible; we can make an exception..."

"No, I don't mean I won't participate in the assessment, but I feel that the monsters used in the assessment are a bit too weak for me, and probably won't serve any training purpose," Jiang Lan continued.

"Since I've decided to become a martial artist, I'll definitely have to fight monsters in the future. So I'm wondering, could I have some powerful monsters to fight during the assessment?"

A hint of satisfaction appeared in Zhuge Tao's eyes.

"It's good that you have this idea. The monsters in the martial arts combat assessment are indeed a bit weak for you right now."

"However, the assessment isn't just your responsibility. If they were to capture a whole bunch of monsters at the level of Beast Generals, most of the martial artists participating in the assessment would probably be wiped out. So if you want to hone your combat skills, you'll have to go to the wilderness outside."

Upon hearing Zhuge Tao's words, Jiang Lan felt a surge of secret joy.

It became.

His purpose in saying that was to get Zhuge Tao to suggest that he go to the wilderness area.

If he doesn't go to the wilderness, where will he find monster corpses to offer as sacrifices?

How can he become stronger quickly without offering sacrifices?

Do you cultivate yourself?

Jiang Lan isn't out of her mind. If she has a cheat code and doesn't use it, wouldn't that be just being a useless double-armed person?

Before Jiang Lan could respond, Zhuge Tao continued:

"However, the wilderness is not like the base city. That place has long been occupied by all kinds of monsters and is very dangerous. Although you are already very strong, you lack practical combat experience. If you rashly face monsters, you will probably suffer losses."

"Well then, I don't have anything else to do, so how about I accompany you for a walk in the wilderness?"

Jiang Lan was taken aback, then looked somewhat helpless.

Dude, aren't you being a little too enthusiastic?

He had considered that Zhuge Tao might arrange for him to join the martial arts team. At worst, he could stay with them for a while and then find some excuse to separate from the team.

Jiang Lan never expected that Zhuge Tao would offer to personally take him to the wilderness area.

But on second thought, it's not surprising that Zhuge Tao would make such a decision.

Jiang Lan is only 17 years old this year. Her punching power is just a little short of breaking through the threshold of intermediate warrior, while her speed and nerve reaction ability have even surpassed those of advanced warrior.

A genius of his caliber is extremely rare, not only in Jiangnan Base City, but also in the entire country of China, and even the entire planet.

Therefore, Zhuge Tao's emphasis on this matter is a normal phenomenon.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Lan said:

"No need for that. If possible, just arrange a martial arts squad for me, and I'll go with the squad to train in the wilderness for a few days."

"this……"

Zhuge Tao was a little worried. If something happened to Jiang Lan, such a promising talent, he couldn't bear the responsibility.

With such a genius appearing in the area, Zhuge Tao would definitely report it after Jiang Lan signed the contract.

And those above will most likely attach great importance to it.

Therefore, Zhuge Tao doesn't want Jiang Lan to take any risks right now.

If anything goes wrong under his supervision, it's his responsibility.

"I'll have to ask you about that later. But don't worry, we'll definitely be going to the wilderness area; the only difference is who's taking you."

"Can."

Having achieved his goal, Jiang Lan no longer hesitated and said directly:

"I'm all set on my end, we can sign the contract now."

Zhuge Tao was overjoyed and immediately said, "Wait a moment, I'll go and have Uncle Bai draft a new one... never mind, let's go together, you can take a look and change anything you're not satisfied with."

"Can."

Jiang Lan has no objection.

Led by Wu Tong, the group arrived at an office.

Zhuge Tao sat in front of the computer, found the standard contract document, and quickly modified it into a special contract for Jiang Lan.

"Is this alright?" Zhuge Tao turned to look at Jiang Lan, who was standing to the side, and asked.

"Okay." Jiang Lan nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay then."

Zhuge Tao made a couple of quick gestures on the computer, and soon a stack of papers was ejected from the gap at the bottom of the computer.

Zhuge Tao handed the paper contract to Jiang Lan and said:

"Take one last look. If there are no problems, sign your name on the last page."

Jiang Lan took the contract, glanced at it symbolically a couple of times, then picked up a pen and signed her name on the last page.

Seeing Jiang Lan's signature, Zhuge Tao felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart, followed by a sense of unreality.

How could he so easily sign such a super genius?

"Is it okay now?"

Upon hearing Jiang Lan's question, Zhuge Tao finally snapped out of his reverie and nodded repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Great! Absolutely great!"
