However, when they saw two Legendary Sorcerer following Yun Xi with utmost respect, they were also extremely surprised.
Everyone in the conference room stood up in unison, expressing their respect for the presence of the representatives of the Sorcerer Association.
Yun Xi asked them questions one by one, and at the same time, she took off her hood.
Since she was going to sign an affiliation contract with the Flower Country's official authorities, her name would have to be written on the contract, and her identity would definitely be exposed. Whether she took off her hood or not was irrelevant.
The leaders of Jing City were also seeing Yun Xi's face for the first time. Although they had expected Yun Xi to be a young woman, they did not expect her to be so young and beautiful.
As the intermediary between the government and Yun Xi, the leaders of Jing City also sat down in the conference room.
A long table was set up in the conference room. On one side sat a group of people representing the Flower Country, while on the other side sat only Yun Xi.
Indeed, Yun Xi was present, and out of respect, the Legendary Sorcerer and Advanced Sorcerer behind her did not sit down.
Yun Xi waved her hand to signal, and the two Legendary Sorcerer sat down on either side of her. The ten Advanced Sorcerer remained motionless, and Yun Xi did not insist any further.
Upon seeing this, many Official Leader gained a new understanding of Yun Xi's position within the Sorcerer Association.
Then, the group began negotiations.
Yun Xi said that they could ask her any questions they had.
"Miss Yun Xi, I wonder what kind of Star Core the Sorcerer Association specifically requested..." one of the Official Leader hesitated before speaking.
After all, according to the message Yun Xi had sent them before, the Star Core was a matter of life and death for the entire Blue Star.
"You can rest assured about that. My direct superior has made it clear that I have the right to allocate this star core. If you all help me obtain the Blue Star Core, I will certainly not exploit it."
Upon hearing Yun Xi's promise, the Official Leader finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone knew that Yun Xi was also a Blue Star person. Although she had achieved such success in a short period of time, it was clear from her previous behavior that she would not harm Blue Star or overly exploit the star core.
However, for a deeper reason, they asked one more question: could this be written into their affiliation agreement?
Yun Xi nodded in agreement.
She couldn't possibly do anything to the Blue Star Core; at most, she could sustainably absorb some of its energy for her cultivation.
After all, if she causes the star core to shatter, she will also pay the price, Merit Points will definitely be deducted to a negative number, which will not be of any use to her.
Hearing Yun Xi's explanation, the officials finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Their biggest concern is that the affiliated forces are unreliable. They want them to help find star cores, but their ultimate goal is to extract all the value from the star cores.
At that time, the star's core will shatter, the blue planet will be destroyed, and they will lose their home.
Although one can avoid losing their life by logging into the Godfall Continent, from then on, the concepts of Blue Star and Flower Country will no longer exist.
Moreover, Yun Xi is one of Blue Star's own people. Even with the contractual obligations, it would be more comfortable for Blue Star's own people to have the Star Core in the hands of outsiders.
After all, the implications are different. If the star core were in the hands of outsiders, like those who sell the ball, or if the star core were still in the hands of the Blue Star people... then there would be no need to consider this point.
In addition, they raised a question.
"May I ask, Miss Yun Xi, what is the length of the contract you intend to sign with us?"
Yun Xi shook her head.
"You can decide this yourself. 100 oz, 200 oz, 10 oz, 20 oz, or even 1 oz or 2 oz are all fine. I have no requirements."
The contract is equal; each party needs to contribute in order to reap the rewards.
The longer it goes on, the more offerings Yun Xi receives, but correspondingly, she also has to devote some energy to this.
There are gains and losses, and this applies to both Yun Xi and the officials. Therefore, Yun Xi will not limit the length of time, leaving it to them to decide.
"However, I suggest that the duration should not exceed two hundred minutes, because at that time, I still don't know where it is."
Several Official Leader exchanged glances and told them that the timeframe should be neither too short nor too long.
If the time is too short, they will not have time to develop steadily; if the time is too long, they will worry about being too controlled, and they may Flower Country habitually dependent on the Sorcerer Association. At that time, it will be difficult for them to break away when they are fully developed.
"Miss Yun Xi, how about we tentatively set this contract at 50 yuan?"
Yun Xi noncommittal. "I said, it's up to you to decide. For me, it makes basically no difference."
Everyone nodded.
"Miss Yun Xi, we have one last question, which is about the resources for the offerings."
Logically, the Sorcerer Association provides them with sanctuary, and they contribute one-fifth of their resources; this is indeed a standard affiliation contract.
Yun Xi had also learned about this from Eliza; one-fifth of the offering resources was still considered a small amount compared to other affiliated forces.
"Do you have any opinions on this?" Yun Xi asked them.
For Yunxi, whether or not she accepts offerings is not too important. After all, she possesses an entire treasure trove, and can buy most resources. She can also obtain some rare resources from the Sorcerer Association.
But this offering was not just for her alone; it also included the two Legendary Sorcerer beside her and the ten Advanced Sorcerer behind her.
Although Eliza did not say it, she must have paid the ten subordinates she assigned to carry out their tasks, otherwise why would they stay here indefinitely?
Yun Xi wasn't shameless enough to ask Eliza to pay for her share; she would definitely have to allocate a portion of the official resources to them.
Therefore, Yun Xi could not decide the quantity of this offering herself; she also had to consider the 12 people behind her.
The leaders in the company are all shrewd and have an excellent ability to read people.
They carefully observed Yunxi's expression and knew that there was probably no room for negotiation on this matter.
Someone next to him wanted to say something, but after being glanced at by the leader sitting in the middle, he wisely stopped talking.
"Miss Yun Xi, regarding this offering, we don't want to ask about the amount. The offerings are resources we obtained from the Godfall Continent, which include not only currency but also other supplies. We wonder how these supplies should be divided into 1/5?"
"Take equipment for example, the value of each piece of equipment is different."
"Just follow your official internal rules. If you want to keep any piece of equipment, then pay us one-fifth of its value in currency."
