The committee members stirred in a commotion.
"Right now, we only have formulas No. 1 to No. 6 for seventh-rank martial disciple materials, we're still missing formulas 7, 8, and 9. Even if we get the seventh material, we're still short two."
"Three full sets of transfer materials can train three seventh-rank martial disciples. Whether it's pioneering Ghost Star or facing the Beast God, we'll be more confident."
"Being able to open new maps also means getting more seventh-rank materials, our Huaxia will enter the seventh-rank era!"
Seeing these people discussing fervently, Jiang Kai didn't interrupt, simply drinking tea on his own.
Qin Yu and the others had already realized that although Jiang Kai only kept one card, that card was definitely a trump card.
What was interesting was that after Jiang Kai proposed the distribution plan, he didn't rush to leave.
It felt like he was deliberately leaving open the possibility of negotiation.
Qin Yu took a deep breath and said, "Jiang Kai, I, Qin Yu, don't like beating around the bush. You can speak plainly. What do we have to pay to get the complete materials?"
Jiang Kai smiled slightly and put his teacup on the table.
"General Qin truly sees things clearly. Since that's the case, I won't beat around the bush either."
"The 50-50 split has already been done. Back then, I also said that I get to pick first. So I kept this card, emotionally and logically, it makes sense. If you want this card, naturally, you'll have to give something extra."
Qin Yu took a deep breath and quietly looked at Jiang Kai.
Jiang Kai continued, "Four conditions."
"First, I want two sets of job transfer materials."
Qin Yu slightly frowned, "Incomplete materials?"
"Yes."
Qin Yu was a little puzzled but didn't ask much and answered directly, "Okay, I'll have someone pull them from the warehouse for you. What are the remaining conditions?"
"Second, in the Jiangzhong City War God Temple system, there is a War God named Jiang Fang. He's from the Black Tortoise Guild. He originally wanted to leave the Black Tortoise Guild, but Black Tortoise, citing the heavy funds spent training him, refused to let him go."
"I want your military to pay his debts and take him in."
Qin Yu immediately looked at Wei Ying, "Old Wei, is this true?"
Wei Ying nodded, "It's true. Due to some personal reasons, Jiang Fang had a falling-out with the Black Tortoise Guild. He once tried to leave, but Black Tortoise didn't agree. Now Black Tortoise is about to transfer him to a frontline city."
Qin Yu nodded, "What star War God is he?"
"Two-star."
Qin Yu thought for a moment and said to Jiang Kai, "This one is no problem."
Jiang Kai nodded and continued, "Third, within five years, Wei Ying must not be transferred out of Jiangzhong City."
Wei Ying was slightly stunned, but as the involved party, he quickly understood Jiang Kai's intention.
He just never imagined that Jiang Kai would use such a trump card to protect him.
These past days, Wei Ying had been doing his best to protect Jiang Kai's family. In less than half a year, this kid was now protecting him in return.
Qin Yu put down his pen and looked at Jiang Kai in surprise, "Jiang Kai, why do you want this condition?"
Jiang Kai sneered, "General Qin doesn't need to ask too much. You only need to consider whether you can meet my condition."
Qin Yu glanced at Wei Ying in surprise. Seeing that he said nothing, he suspected there was something going on.
But since Jiang Kai was unwilling to say the reason, he'd have to investigate later.
"Fine, I can agree to this," Qin Yu said, "What's the last condition?"
A cold glint appeared in Jiang Kai's eyes as he spoke coldly, "Jiangzhong City's Black Tortoise Guild—disband!"
"""What!"""
Qin Yu, Liu En, and Zhang Yan all exclaimed almost simultaneously.
"Jiang Kai, what exactly are you trying to do?", Liu En said angrily, "The Black Tortoise Guild is one of Huaxia's top ten guilds. Their branches are the main force for pioneering. Without them, our pioneering speed would drop significantly."
Zhang Yan also said, "The Black Tortoise Guild was formed by the Black Tortoise Army. Whether online or offline, they are vital to Huaxia's overall strength. You want to dissolve their branch, what's your intention?"
Jiang Kai looked at the two coldly, "You're right. Then just pretend I never said it. Everyone, please leave."
Liu En and Zhang Yan almost spat blood.
Jiang Kai couldn't even be bothered to argue, just went straight to being difficult...
"You! Why are you holding onto martial disciple materials? Are you even a martial disciple? In the end, it's for selling them! We'll just buy them with money," The smile on Liu En's face had long disappeared as he shouted emotionally.
Jiang Kai snorted coldly, "I said to dissolve Black Tortoise, and General Liu gets so worked up, why?"
"I won't sell the materials. Even if I did, you couldn't afford them! An item that could change the nation's standing, how much money do you think would be reasonable?"
"As for what I'll use it for, why do you care? Can't I just keep it as a collectible?"
Qin Yu was also a bit overwhelmed. Who would've thought Jiang Kai would make such an excessive demand?
However, on the other hand, Jiang Kai wasn't asking to completely dissolve the entire Black Tortoise Guild, just its Jiangzhong City branch.
The Black Tortoise Guild's function was indeed very important. But Huaxia had 23 central cities, and each of the top ten guilds had a branch in every one. That added up to 230 branches.
Dissolving one branch, while painful, wasn't crippling.
Besides, after Black Tortoise members disband, it's not like they can't log in again. They could simply go to other central cities and join other branches. Those unwilling to leave Jiangzhong could join other guilds.
Overall, the strength of the Eighteenth District wouldn't actually be reduced.
Thinking it over, Qin Yu calmed himself and said, "Jiang Kai, shamefully, I don't know the details of your conflict with the Black Tortoise Guild. But from my personal perspective, you could use the seventh-rank materials to exchange for a huge amount of resources. Why insist on disbanding the Black Tortoise Guild's branch? It doesn't seem to bring you any substantial benefit."
Jiang Kai was actually quite helpless.
Among the 119 rewards, there wasn't a single job or gambler material… He couldn't even reach the third rank, what would he do with so many high-level materials?
This was probably what it felt like to have money but nowhere to spend it.
Besides, unless the Black Tortoise Guild was rooted out, his family's safety couldn't be guaranteed. In Jiang Kai's heart, his big brother and third sister's safety was more important than anything.
"General Qin, you can slowly investigate the grudges between me and Black Tortoise. My fourth condition is just that. If you need to negotiate, I'll give you one day. After that, I won't change the distribution plan."
"If you can meet all my conditions, then in addition to the cards I already gave you, I'll also give you the seventh-rank martial disciple materials."
Qin Yu sighed, then put away his notebook and stood up.
"Fine. This is indeed something I need to report to the entire committee. It's not something I can decide alone."
"One day is enough. Once the result is in, I'll inform you immediately," After saying that, Qin Yu glanced at the cards on the table, turned around, and left the Main God Guild base with his people.
After they left, Yuan Zhu and the others gathered around.
"Kai, you've lost out!", Yuan Zhu said, "You should've kept a few cards!"
Jiang Kai shook his head and said firmly, "Wiping out the Black Tortoise branch is just the beginning. As long as they agree to this precedent, I'll uproot Black Tortoise eventually."
"To make them accept this precedent, how could I not pay a heavy price."
After saying that, Jiang Kai slightly narrowed his eyes, "Let's see what the military values more this time, a Black Tortoise branch, or seventh-rank transfer materials!"
