In Monster Town, Zhuge Tao was anxiously waiting for Liu Yun's response. But before Liu Yun could speak, a burly man nearby walked over with a loud laugh. Seeing their boss laughing, his subordinates followed suit, laughing so arrogantly that the people around them felt bewildered.
"Old man Zhuge! What a clever scheme you have. When my brother Liu Yun was unfortunately struck by a serious illness, you didn't even spare him a glance! Now you're acting all enthusiastic?"
The burly man first mocked Zhuge Tao. Zhuge Tao naturally wanted to retort, but the burly man stepped forward and gripped Liu Yun's hand.
"Good brother Liu Yun! I am Wang Heng from the Thor Dojo! Our Thor Dojo values relationships, and we are famous for sparing no expense to provide for the injured, much better than those other unreliable dojos."
"If you come to us, brother, we will give you 500,000,001! Furthermore, the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade you are practicing was created by our Lord Thor himself. If you are willing to join, we will not only provide the subsequent cultivation manuals, but Lord Thor himself will even come to teach you a few moves. It will definitely benefit you infinitely!"
Although this Wang Heng had a burly build and a rough face, he was extremely meticulous in his actions, calling him brother Liu Yun at every turn.
His offer was one yuan higher than the Limit Dojo's, intentionally provoking Zhuge Tao. At the same time, he started with Liu Yun's younger sister and brought up the Thunder God Blade Technique, indicating that Liu Yun could receive personal guidance from Thor later on.
These offensives made even Liu Yun ponder for a moment; he did need to join an organization. If he could get guidance from the original creator of the Nine-Fold Thunder Blade he was learning, that would certainly be a good thing. Only the original creator knew what the true Nine-Fold Thunder Blade was.
These words caused Zhuge Tao's expression to change drastically. He had only been thinking about establishing a fait accompli as quickly as possible, but he had neglected to investigate! His move was not as precise as Wang Heng's, and he hadn't found Liu Yun's pain point at all.
"We will increase our offer to 500,000,002."
He said hurriedly, also adding one yuan to squeeze the Thor Dojo.
At this moment, the military representative stopped testing the new martial artists and hurriedly sent an officer to put forward their conditions.
The new martial artists also knew that a high-level Warlord was worth more than all of them combined, so they stood to the side waiting for the dispute to end, not daring to speak much!
"We will double the conditions offered by the two dojos just now!"
The military's words directly ignited the entire scene. They had originally planned to follow the procedure and wait until the audit was over, which was the military's tradition—doing things by the book! But now they realized they were lagging behind and could only use a high price to make up for their slow reaction.
"They're even doubling it? Is this what a true genius is?"
Many people were filled with disbelief; this was simply beyond their imagination. However, this was still considered a low price. If Liu Yun really became a War God level powerhouse, this money would be earned back in minutes.
Soon, people from the HR Alliance also arrived. A blonde woman expressed her desire to discuss this matter in detail with Liu Yun. Liu Yun learned that this person was named Glynda Goodwitch, and she also expressed her willingness to offer double the price, without restricting Liu Yun's freedom. Liu Yun could freely choose whether or not to execute the HR Alliance's missions.
"We have always valued the freedom of our members. If you, Liu Yun, can join our organization, you will definitely achieve the best development."
Glynda Goodwitch was very beautiful and wore a professional smile while recruiting Liu Yun, but Liu Yun's expression was unusually calm, making it impossible to tell which faction he wanted to join.
Facing the solicitation from all sides, Liu Yun appeared somewhat indifferent, looking as if he had seen through everything after experiencing the vicissitudes of life.
"Thank you all for your kindness! Liu Yun is just a small person, and your conditions are all very generous. It is not something I can easily decide; I need to consider it."
He said this, looking at the representatives of the four major forces. Liu Yun was poised and did not show any signs of fear or nervousness.
Wang Heng and Zhuge Tao, who had been squeezing each other out, stopped talking. The military was also applying for more funding, while Glynda Goodwitch of the HR Alliance stated that they had their own unique conditions.
"We have bases in Europe and North America. If you choose us, you can also see a wider world, which is not easy in this day and age."
These words stirred Liu Yun's heart. In fact, he didn't care about joining other factions at all. In four years, the Golden Horned Beast would reshuffle the Earth. Besides, if he had four years, he would have already rushed out of the Earth. In reality, any faction could only interfere with him for the first two years; after that, he would be a free man.
For now, he was just considering it from the perspective of development. He thought about it carefully: the military had too many restrictions, which was not conducive to him quietly climbing the technology tree and developing his base. His relationship with the old people at the Limit Dojo was just average, and he didn't want to go back and let them discover that he had changed a lot and see through his secrets! After calculating, only the Thor Dojo and the HR Alliance remained.
"I want to travel around the world; only then can I find many rare materials. It doesn't matter if I join the 'bad guy' alliance. Since I have the right to refuse their missions, I can maximize my potential."
Liu Yun pondered for a while and finally confirmed his choice: the HR Alliance. The Thor Dojo and the Limit Dojo actually had a very good relationship. The two dojos looked like they were fighting fiercely, but behind the scenes, they were practically inseparable, so he couldn't go to the Thor Dojo either.
"I think my own personality is too bad, and I'm used to being free. I wasn't very happy at the Limit Dojo before. If I went to a strict organization, it would only bring trouble to myself and others! Overall, you have all treated me very generously, but I want to join the HR Alliance."
He finally gave his answer. Zhuge Tao felt a chill in his heart upon hearing this, and Wang Heng also felt disappointed. The two of them had made such a fuss, yet in the end, neither of them had succeeded.
The military representative waved his hand upon hearing this, letting the people behind him continue to test the new prospective martial artists, and everything returned to normal.
Glynda of the HR Alliance stepped forward, extended her slender hand, and smiled: "Mr. Liu Yun, a very wise choice. The HR Alliance is in urgent need of talents like you."
She was extremely excited. Someone like Liu Yun was incredibly powerful and was also a rare Psychic; he would definitely be of great use within the HR Alliance in the future.
Liu Yun took Glynda's hand, nodded, and said a few words about deepening cooperation in the future. In reality, he just coveted the fact that the HR Alliance managed less, and it was an underground corporate alliance, so he could easily obtain various rare materials.
At the same time, he would not serve foreigners. He would refuse most missions and would only take on those he was forced to, provided they did not violate his principles as a human being. This was the prerequisite for everything.
To prevent Liu Yun from going back on his word, or the Limit Dojo and Thor Dojo from continuing to solicit him and causing complications, Glynda acted very quickly. She directly called for a helicopter and took Liu Yun to the HR Alliance base in Yangzhou City.
As the roar of the helicopter gradually faded away, it finally landed steadily in front of a hidden and modern HR Alliance base in Yangzhou City. They arrived at an office with simple yet stylish decor. Glynda gestured for Liu Yun to sit down, while she turned gracefully and walked to a seemingly ordinary but highly integrated smart terminal. She gently pressed a few buttons, and the screen instantly lit up, displaying the HR Alliance's complex membership management system.
"Mr. Liu, next, we will officially register your membership in the HR Alliance." Glynda's voice was soft and magnetic. As she spoke, she operated the touchscreen quickly with her slender fingers. Following her movements, various information interfaces kept jumping on the screen, finally settling on a page with a flashing "Register" button.
Liu Yun nodded, his eyes scanning the screen quickly. After confirming that everything was correct, he nodded slightly to show his agreement and officially joined the HR Alliance.
She gently placed an HR Alliance badge into Liu Yun's hand. Their fingertips touched lightly at this moment, as if an electric current was flowing between them. Glynda smiled slightly at Liu Yun, a smile that contained both professional confidence and a hint of flirtation.
"Check it out carefully! There are many good things on the HR Alliance's intranet."
Glynda laughed. However, this person was truly beautiful. The hem of her black gauze skirt reached just above her knees, outlining her graceful figure. A thin silver chain belt was tied around her waist, adding a touch of capability and unruliness. After giving instructions, she didn't let him look any longer and walked away. He was already a member of the HR Alliance and had a bright future, so Glynda didn't mind getting to know Liu Yun better.
Liu Yun felt that this person was not a serious character, but he was too lazy to pay attention to this deliberately displayed charm. This kind of person was too much of a flirt, and getting close to her would lead to big trouble in the future.
