Shui Xisheng rejected these requests without hesitation. He knew Digital Phantom preferred to keep a low profile and had no interest in such things.
But immediately afterward, he faced a new temptation.
Hook Supreme of the Dyson Consortium offered fifty billion to sponsor and host a reception banquet—all paid in Energy Blocks.
Shui Xisheng was firm in his resolve, but... they were offering too much. So he asked the two honored guests.
Even Jing Yuexin hesitated slightly. "First One, it's just one meal... Even killing ten Supremes might not easily net five hundred billion."
A Supreme's assets could very well exceed five billion, but liquidating them... was not easy.
The team had an Energy Stone Mine worth over a trillion, but that would have to be mined over many years. This was only one meal.
"It's even more expensive than Buffett's meal," Qu Jianlei said with a smile. "What about the dignity of an Above Supreme?"
The Dyson Consortium's invitation was not too difficult to refuse, but the Carnegie Consortium was another matter entirely.
This consortium ranked third, perhaps even second, among the Empire's top ten. They directly offered a magical artifact in exchange for hosting a banquet to receive Digital Phantom.
At present, magical artifacts in the Empire were not only unimaginably expensive, but simply could not be bought with money!
Of course, the Carnegie Consortium could not possibly offer a magical artifact worth trillions just for one banquet.
They not only wanted naming rights, but also wanted to invite Digital Phantom to become their partner.
They made no promises regarding related profits—since they would be partners, the annual proceeds would not be commissions, but profit sharing.
This was a means of deeply binding the two sides together, though it could also be a form of publicity.
