Jiu Jin, You're in Close Contact!

In the conference room, Jiu Jin sipped his tea, feeling quite pleased with himself.

He had no sincere intention to recruit the Dragon Lion Mercenary Group.

This did not align with his interests.

Although he promised Master Hua Ni that he would come to recruit the survivors, from the very beginning, he intended to just go through the motions.

Because this matter was very troublesome.

First, it required him to rack his brains to negotiate with the Dragon Lion Mercenary Group. Second, the terms he negotiated would likely be criticized by the higher-ups of the Alchemy Guild.

Therefore, rather than putting in such effort and taking risks, it was better to directly and forcefully pressure the Dragon Lion Mercenary Group, helping them make the choice to refuse recruitment.

Once Zi Di refused, he could justifiably organize personnel to conduct large-scale magic potion production and then dump them on the market.

During this time, he would have ample time and numerous opportunities to fish in troubled waters and reap benefits.

"It seems my luck has arrived."

"First is the action of the royal family, which left that fellow Yuan Ci unable to sit still, forcing us to cooperate and making it possible to obtain the Purple Vine Secret Treasure."

"Second is that a cushy job has fallen directly on my head. Those alchemist mages stronger than me can only obey the royal family's dispatch to sit in command for this Warm Snow Cup."

"Hehe, I didn't expect that sometimes having a bit less strength also has its perks."

Thinking of this, Jiu Jin happily took another sip of tea.

But the next moment, two muffled thuds rang out.

Two silver-level alchemical puppets suddenly barged in, directly trapping Jiu Jin in a pincer attack from front and back.

Yao Ma (Zi Di)
