Chapter 56: Federal Security Logistics Administration
the next day.
Bai Qi arrived at the Beastmaster Association on time. After asking the front desk receptionist, he went to the reception room. When Bai Qi arrived, President Qin and a tall man in a suit and tie were already inside.
But for some reason, the two of them didn't communicate at all and just sat there quietly, which made Bai Qi, who was originally glad that he was not late, feel a little guilty.
"Bai Qi, you are here. Let me introduce you to Yi Yu, the special commissioner of the Federal Security and Logistics Administration."
President Qin pointed at the man and introduced him, "This is Bai Qi."
"Hello, I'm Yi Yu."
Yi Yu stood up, smiled and held out his hand to Bai Qi, saying, "The name of the Federal Security and Logistics Administration is a bit long. We usually call it the Thirteenth Bureau."
This name sounds very much like a certain comic book. Could it be that their director is also a one-eyed bald man?
"Hello."
Bai Qi held Yi Yu's hand and shook it, then took a seat at the signal of President Qin.
"I have already told Bai Qi the general situation. Now it is up to you two to discuss the specific details of the transaction."
President Qin obviously had no intention of talking nonsense and went straight to the point. Then he leaned back and stopped talking.
Oh my god, Old Qin, won’t you help me bargain?
You said you can name any price, but you should at least give me a sample first.
At least tell me what the Federal Security and Logistics Administration is.
Bai Qi immediately winked at President Qin when he saw this, but President Qin seemed not to see it and remained indifferent even though Bai Qi's eyelids were almost cramped.
"Well, you don't mind if I just call you Bai Qi."
Seeing Bai Qi's expression, Yi Yu smiled warmly and said, "Bai Qi, don't be nervous. I am only here to trade with you on behalf of Bureau Thirteen, not the Federation, so just relax."
Can I say that I am a little cowardly because of this thirteenth game?
Seeing that Bai Qi was still silent, Yi Yu spoke first, "Before I came here, I had a general understanding of your situation, Bai Qi. You are a freshman at the Xingji Academy's Mechanical Weaponry Department. At 5:34 pm on May 6 this year, you awakened your talent in the Elf House and contracted a Undead Pet Beast that mutated into a Skeleton Soldier."
Are these guys here to check household registration? They even want to check the number of awakened talents?
Bai Qi nodded and said, "That's right."
Yi Yu smiled slightly after he finished speaking, and said, "Sorry, it's my professional habit so I did more research, but it's also for the convenience of trading with you, Bai Qi, I hope you don't mind."
Can I say no?
Bai Qi shook his head, and Yi Yu continued, "Considering your current development path, Bai Qi, I offer you two trading options."
"First, Bureau Thirteen can provide you with a legendary material and all the illustrated materials before the legendary level of the mechanical system, but the key to the Tower of Lamentation and the right to explore it must be completely owned by Bureau Thirteen. Bai Qi, you and anyone from your association cannot explore the Tower of Lamentation until Bureau Thirteen opens it again."
Old man Qin was right. This federal agency is rich. They gave away a legendary material and a mechanical illustration right away. They are indeed wealthy.
Not to mention the value of the legendary materials, just all the illustrations of the legendary mechanical system are worth a lot of money.
To put it simply, as long as Bai Qi has this information and the funds are in place, he can manufacture all mechanical weapons except the core weapons of the Federation.
Exchanging a secret tower of unknown value for a piece of legendary material and mechanical illustrations sounds like a good deal.
Bai Qi was silent for a while, then looked at Yi Yu again and said, "What about the other one?"
Yi Yu raised his lips slightly and said, "Second, Bureau Thirteen can still provide you with a legendary material, but the related illustrations of the mechanical system cannot be provided. The key belongs to Bureau Thirteen. Mr. Bai Qi, you still have the right to explore the Tower of Lamentations, but we need to let Bureau Thirteen explore first for three days."
"To exchange a secret tower of unknown value for a legendary material and a mechanical encyclopedia, I personally suggest that you choose the first option, Bai Qi."
"After all, even the Beast Tamer Association doesn't have some of the illustrated materials on the mechanical department."
Chairman Qin was silent upon hearing this. The mechanical system was the key for humans to compete with the ferocious beast tribe, so some core knowledge was in the hands of the Federation. Yi Yu was not making random remarks.
Seeing President Qin's expression, Bai Qi believed Yi Yu's words and after thinking for a moment, he came to a conclusion.
"I choose the second one."
"But I want to change one condition."
In fact, in the past, Bai Qi would definitely choose the first option.
Just thinking about how Luo Xiang specially took him to learn rune knowledge and warned him to study hard, Bai Qi always felt that the value of the Tower of Lamentations must be far beyond his imagination.
The attitude of the Thirteenth Bureau is the best proof.
Yi Yu nodded and said, "Okay, we are discussing a deal now, you can tell me what you think."
"I need a legendary material of the Undead or Space system, but I can't give up the three-day early exploration rights."
Bureau Thirteen is affiliated with the Federation and is specifically responsible for handling matters like this. If they were given three days to explore, it would be too late.
Upon hearing this, Yi Yu immediately shook his head and said, "The legendary materials of the Space Department are too rare. I cannot grant you that with my authority. I can help you apply for the Undead Department. As for the three-day exploration rights, I'm sorry that this is the bottom line of the Thirteenth Bureau and I can't give in."
Seeing Yi Yu so determined, Bai Qi couldn't help but remain silent.
“Ahem…”
Seeing that both of them had fallen into silence, President Qin finally stood up and said, "How about this? The three-day priority exploration right is still given to the Federation, but the Federation also provides some illustrations of the mechanical department?"
Yi Yu was silent for a moment, then he raised his head and said, "Then let's do as President Qin wishes. However, I can only give you the illustrated materials of the Mechanical Department before the fourth level. It should be fine."
Bai Qi nodded repeatedly when he heard this. President Qin had lived many more years longer than him, so he must know the ins and outs of this better. It would not be wrong to listen to him.
As for what will be left after three days, it all depends on fate.
Although it’s a pity that I couldn’t get all the mechanical illustrations before the legendary level, it’s enough for now before the fourth level.
One should not be too ambitious.
"This memory card contains all the information on the first four levels of mechanical illustrations. As for the legendary materials of the undead, I will apply for them later. It may take some time."
Seeing that Bai Qi agreed, Yi Yu took out a memory card and handed it to Bai Qi, and Bai Qi also took out the key that he had prepared long ago and handed it to Yi Yu.
"Then the deal is done."
Yi Yu took the key with a smile and put it away, saying, "Six days later, please ask President Qin to clear out everything around the Tower of Lamentation, and our Thirteenth Bureau will come to take it over on time."
"Okay, I won't send you off."
President Qin responded indifferently and asked his secretary to send Yi Yu out.
"President, why do I feel like you seem a little unhappy with this person?"
After Yi Yu left, Bai Qi finally asked the doubts in his heart.
"I'm not unhappy, I just don't want to have too much contact with this lunatic."
"Mad man, this looks normal, right?"
Bai Qi was puzzled, but President Qin said seriously, "That's because he sent everyone who saw him in an abnormal state to federal prison."
"If you don't want him to stare at you every day, it's best to keep some distance from him."
Oh my god, it turns out to be a stalker. I really need to be more careful then.
