Transform into a human

Chapter 78 Sowing, Setting Off

Logically, Helian Bingwen should have secured the deal and taken the opportunity to sign the contract with Yue Lai before discussing anything else, but he was simply too curious.

"Could you explain why you made such a...puzzling choice?"

Winona muttered, "A fool wouldn't take advantage of a good deal, things are really..."

Yue Lai coughed twice, expressing his dissatisfaction with his eyes, and the battle songstress who had just caused a great disaster could only shut her mouth in embarrassment.

After the commission ended, Winona was able to leave, but he was still under her control.

"The reason is actually very simple: as long as I can pay off the debt, hundreds of billions or even trillions make no difference to me."

"How could that be?" Helian Bingwen asked in surprise. "You can do many things with the extra money."

For him, having such a sum of money would allow him to easily make exchanges of benefits, such as votes and opportunities.

"But what would I use it for? I'm quite satisfied with my current life. I can't exactly buy a cruiser to go on adventures—and besides, nobody's going to sell it to me."

Mo nodded in agreement—she also felt that money was useless.

Helian Bingwen was speechless. If someone else had told him that "money is useless," he would have slapped them across the face. But the other person's words were sincere.

Most importantly, Yue Lai said these words while he was a penniless man.

"I see," he exclaimed. "This is the difference between the mindset of immortals and humans. We always want to experience as many things as possible in our limited lives, or to fulfill certain wishes before death. But you have so much time to plan and then put them into practice, so you have the right not to be so eager."

If Xia Du heard these words, he would definitely give the governor a thumbs up. This would perfectly explain why Yue Lai always treated their relationship with a lukewarm attitude.

If an individual faces finite things within an infinite life, they will take each step casually, to the point that they are unaware that the lives of others are finite.

Especially since he was accompanied by Jasmine, who also possessed infinite life, he lost his sense of time.

"That's a whole new perspective on distinguishing different races," Yue Lai said thoughtfully.

"I disagree!" Winona's rebellious spirit flared up. She was about to retort when Mo covered her mouth and protested with "mmm" sounds.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. We're not philosophers, are we?" Helian Bingwen recovered from his slight melancholy. "I've already sent you the detailed contract. You can contact me for anything related to Esfri in the future."

……

Half an hour later.

After the guests left the office, Helian Bingwen stepped out of the spatial maze in one step and instantly arrived outside the town. The governor's guards rushed over upon seeing this.

When the staff saw the barely concealed excitement in their boss's eyes, they knew the matter was settled.

The chief of staff whispered, "Has that person conceded?"

"Make concessions?" Helian Bingwen smiled.

In just a short while, Yue Lai had already signed the contract and sent it over. He then sent a copy to his chief of staff: "Take a look."

Soon, the chief of staff was so surprised he couldn't close his mouth:

"This...this is for charity work!"

Even a conservative estimate puts the value of the relic conversion market at trillions—in ChainCrystals. A mere few hundred billion New Federal Credits is practically free.

They are indeed doing charity work.

"You think he lost out?" Helian Bingwen squinted at him. "Have you considered that this is a huge favor to the Helian family and even the Beifeng faction, not to mention Dr. Helian, who is very likely to achieve sainthood through this?"

"Most importantly, he gained my friendship, the most sincere and unwavering friendship, which came not only from gratitude for the gift, but also from his own character."

The chief of staff wanted to say something more, but seeing his superior's smug expression, he wisely chose to remain silent.

But the change in his expression did not escape Helian Bingwen's notice. He smiled slightly and muttered to himself:

"Favors vary in size, and this one is so big that... let alone cruisers, we'd sell him an entire fleet."

Before the chief of staff could figure out what the purpose of buying the fleet was, flower feathers suddenly rained down from the sky, accompanied by melodious music, and holy light enveloped the area.

It is a holy position.

The newcomer carefully controlled the size of the area, ensuring it did not overlap with Windmill Town at all.

Helian Bingwen narrowed his eyes:

"No wonder they didn't come to discuss this in person. What exactly is Windmill City hiding?"

A neutral voice came through: "Have you reached a conclusion?"

The fact that the Holy One himself was present clearly demonstrates the importance the North Wind faction attaches to this matter.

Looking at the guards and staff who had completely lost their autonomy under the holy light and stood like stone statues, Helian Bingwen was instantly filled with disgust. He lowered his head and opened the access to the original contract.

"So that's how it is—"

The saint gasped in a low voice; the number Yue Lai had given up was enough to move him deeply.

Helian Bingwen curled the corners of his mouth:

Are you satisfied?

"Of course," the Holy One said, not holding back his praise, "the pride of the Helian family, the snow of the North is proud of you."

It was clear that this saint was in a good mood. After all, from laymen to saints and constellations, everyone could benefit from the artifact transformation technology. Although the North Wind faction could not monopolize this technology, it could reap the first benefits after it matured and exchange it for a large amount of profit.

Yue Lai's choice allows them to "get something for nothing" in the future.

The fact that the location of the saint is unknown is still somewhat unbelievable:

"Besides the tens of billions needed to pay off debts, did he really not mention any other conditions?"

"No, Yue Lai's original words were, 'Even if you round up the money when you give me the money, the extra money will be enough for me to live on for centuries,' so he did not ask for more."

"Knowing when to advance and when to retreat, understanding gains and losses, he truly lives up to his reputation."

"Did you know him before?"

"No, but I know many people who have received favors from him. Why do you think the gods of the Central System remained silent when the Director interfered with the law and shook the holy position of the [Singer of the Law]? The combined will of those people can even influence the gods."

Helian Bingwen was shocked once again. Just how much face did Yue Lai gain?

The voice of the Holy Throne faded into the distance, leaving only one sentence behind:

"There are many immortal beings in Andromeda, but there is only one 'person' like him. The seeds sown in the past have now grown into a big tree."

"And we are still sowing seeds today."

……

In the firm, Yue Lai, now debt-free, sighed slowly. He finally had time to get down to business.

"Mo, pack your gear, we're ready to go, destination: the Eastern Wall System!"

"Okay! How many people are you preparing?"

"Four……"

Before the word "person" could be uttered, a soft cough came from the second floor.

Yue Lai quickly changed his tune:

"Four people definitely won't be enough, we need enough for five!"
