Chapter 10358 10357-
at the end of the day, jianghai academy\'s opponent was a god-ranked academy. even if they did not join the alliance of academies in the end, there was no need to doubt their strength.
even if the divine kingdoms on land produced powerful people in large numbers, not every local power could be compared to a divine academy.
the only other god-ranked academy that could go against a god-ranked academy was another god-ranked academy.
This was common knowledge in divine kingdoms on land.
lin yi sat down unhurriedly. "Tell me."
"Actually, the price our owner offered for this information was 1000 divine gems," the middle-aged manager explained seriously.
1,000 divine crystals were equivalent to 100 million Supreme-grade spiritual jades.
It was a bit of a rip-off, but it wasn\'t that exaggerated. Considering the importance of the information, Lin Yi might just accept it.
with jianghai university\'s wealth, it was not difficult for them to fork out a hundred million supreme-grade spiritual jades. they had already made sufficient financial preparations before coming here, so it was not impossible for them to fork out that much.
" but this morning, a special guest came and bought the information with 10000 divine crystals. "
the middle-aged manager continued to explain,"according to the rules of our zhiwei pavilion, once the information has been sold out, it can not continue to be sold to a third party, unless it is sold at the same price .."
lin yi and the others understood. "rich guy! he\'s trying to kill people with god crystals! can you tell us who bought all of them?"
"i\'m sorry, this is our guest\'s privacy. we have no right to disclose it."
The middle-aged manager looked apologetic and asked, " "What do you all think? if you\'re not satisfied, i can provide you with some information. although it\'s not as detailed and direct as this one, it\'s still valuable for reference, and the price is negotiable."
it\'s fine to just transfer the information. It doesn\'t make much sense.
lin yi rejected immediately.
If he had enough time, it was not impossible to get some indirect information. As long as he analyzed it carefully, he could indeed dig out some useful information.
But the problem was that he had to choose people in three days. Where would he find the time to do such slow work?
the middle-aged manager wasn\'t surprised by this. he stood up with a regretful expression to send the guest off.
Even if the deal didn\'t go through, he\'d still be kind. With his experience, he could naturally see the weight of Lin Yi\'s group. No matter if the deal went through or not, he had to act properly. This was the basic professionalism of a businessman.
However, when they were about to reach the door, the little girl suddenly exclaimed, " "old granny!"
everyone looked towards the source of the voice. the old woman who had been helped up by the little servant girl earlier was standing at the door in surprise. she was also surprised and happy to see the little servant girl running over.
The middle-aged manager was even more surprised than everyone else. "you all know my mother?"
"I know more than that. Xian \'er, they are my benefactors!"
the old woman quickly explained what had happened at the teleportation array, and pulled the little girl gratefully, " "if it wasn\'t for their help, xian \'er, you might not have been able to see your mother."
These words were by no means alarmist talk. In that situation, if the Queen had not stepped in and allowed the collective aura of the fanatical fans to crush her, with the old woman\'s realm, even if she was lucky enough to survive, she would at least be seriously injured.
"There\'s actually such a thing!"
the middle-aged manager\'s face turned pale.
Although he was in an Intelligence Agency like the Zhiwei Pavilion, in the eyes of outsiders, he should have seen through everything. Especially for this kind of thing that happened right under their eyes, and it even involved his mother. It was a little unreasonable to say that he did not know.
however, in reality, his authority in the zhiwei pavilion as a steward was quite limited. other than some corresponding information within the scope of his authority, he was no different from an ordinary person in other matters and could not interfere at all.
He didn\'t even know the details of the information that he had traded, only a rough outline.
There was no other reason. This was the internal checks and balances of Zhiwei Pavilion.
the higher the intelligence agency was, the more strict the security of information was. this was true for outsiders, and even more so for internal personnel.
The middle-aged manager quickly bowed deeply to Lin Yi and the others."Many thanks to all the benefactors for saving us. Zhao Xian is moved to tears, but I am extremely ashamed and unable to show my face for my earlier misdeeds."
The Queen couldn\'t help but laugh. "it seems that the fight just now was not in vain. the situation has changed. can you sell us the information at a lower price now?"
The middle-aged manager, Zhao Xian, was very embarrassed. He cupped his hands in embarrassment and said, "zhao xian is useless. i really don\'t dare to go against the rules set by the pavilion master. the price of that information is also not within my scope of authority. i really can\'t do anything about it."
The Queen was speechless. forget I said anything. Saving him is still the same as not saving him.
everyone was a little disappointed.
With their experience, they could tell that Zhao Xian\'s gratitude was not an act. He was expressing his true feelings. They had thought that with this relationship, there would at least be some changes. They did not expect that he would still follow official procedures.
Lin Yi wasn\'t disappointed at all-he consoled her with a smile. "Brother Zhao, you don\'t need to feel any psychological burden. Since we are here to buy information, we naturally have to follow the rules. I understand."
"Thank you for your understanding, benefactor."
Zhao Xian was even more grateful. After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, actually, not only did that person buy all the information from our Zhiwei Pavilion, but he also bought all the similar information from the other major local intelligence agencies.
“……”
Lin Yi couldn\'t help but be surprised,"buy them all?" Such a big move?"
If it was just buying out Zhiwei Pavilion, although it was not a small amount, it was still within the scope of understanding. However, buying out all the mainstream intelligence agencies at once, this amount was really a little too exaggerated.
Information on the freshmen was important, but it wasn\'t to the point where it could directly determine the final victory.
By doing this, the other party was clearly so rich that he didn\'t treat money as money, and wanted to use money to smash people to death.
"So, we have to pay the sky-high price of ten thousand divine crystals?"
lin yi chuckled as he shook his head.
it wasn\'t that he couldn\'t afford ten thousand divine crystals, but this was only the beginning. there were many more places where he could use the money in the future. even with jianghai academy\'s background, it couldn\'t afford to burn money so recklessly.
"benefactor, if you trust me, then don\'t waste this money. it\'s mealtime now, so why don\'t you let me treat you to a meal at the imperial kitchen? it\'ll be a token of our appreciation," zhao xian said in a low voice.
lin yi and the others looked at each other and nodded, " "Since it\'s brother Zhao\'s kind intentions, we\'ll accept it."
