Bai Pu gave a polite yet awkward smile, "You're overestimating me. I'm only Level 3, I wouldn't be of much help."
The Wushan Divine Lady shook her head, "You've encountered her before. During the college entrance exam, it was you who knocked her out of the competition... remember?"
Bai Pu's expression shifted slightly, "Your niece... could her codename be 'Blood Spider'?"
"Looks like you remember her. But I prefer to call her by her name, Qingyun."
The Wushan Divine Lady smiled, "Qingyun, like you, completed her trial task in the world of [Flesh and Blood Plague: Origin] and successfully awakened. So, her second profession change also needs to happen in the world of Flesh and Blood Plague."
"Blood Spider is already close to Level 7. For her to change professions, it should be in the Advanced World Area, right?" Bai Pu said, "I'm going to the Mid-level Area, the world area of [Flesh and Blood Plague: Mutation], which won't help her profession change."
"Don't worry, I'm not greedy enough to make you help her with the profession change task."
The Wushan Divine Lady said, "Qingyun is now Level 6 and can enter the world area of [Flesh and Blood Plague: Mutation]. This time, let her follow you to observe and learn how to deal with the natives."
Bai Pu hesitated upon hearing this.
Although the Wushan Divine Lady was introduced by his teammate Yuan Yue, Bai Pu still hadn't let down his guard even against Yuan Yue, let alone trust the Wushan Divine Lady.
——Xiong Da can't be trusted either.
The Wushan Divine Lady tried to persuade, "Gangxin, I know a bit about your situation. Next time you enter the Spirit Realm, you'll probably face the Superstar Alliance's full assault, right? Although Qingyun's emotional intelligence isn't high, her strength is quite decent. She can help you resolve some issues from the Awakened, without affecting your profession change task."
The strength of Blood Spider is more than decent. With a 20% enemy damage increase due to level suppression and personal damage reduction, she's even more intimidating than Crazy Zen.
Up till now, Bai Pu wasn't confident he could defeat her.
"Sorry, I don't want an Awakened knowing my task details throughout the profession change task," Bai Pu calmed down again. If Blood Spider is using learning as an excuse while actually colluding with the Superstar Alliance to sell Bai Pu's task details, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The Wushan Divine Lady sighed, "What a cautious little guy. Alright, I'll compromise. You can instruct Qingyun to go into battles without needing to inform her of your task details, only after the task ends will you explain your choices and thought process! Additionally, I'll offer an appropriate reward."
The Wushan Divine Lady sent over the information of an item.
[Golden Parachute: A-level artifact. Allows the holder to forcibly leave the Spirit Realm, ignoring main task requirements, returning to the physical world. (Usable in Mid-level Spirit Realm Areas)]
A force-exiting artifact usable in Mid-level Spirit Realm Areas!
High-grade item that activates instantly!
Bai Pu was immediately enticed.
In Mid-level Spirit Realm Areas, the world strength is higher, meaning the constraints of space and time are stronger! Low-level force-exiting artifacts can't activate.
At the level of a Mid-level Awakened, the availability of force-exiting artifacts becomes much rarer.
Generally, only those heavily favored and specially nurtured by major forces have the opportunity to acquire them, and the cost for exchange is notoriously high.
Normal Mid-level Awakened don't even have access privilege to see force-exiting artifacts.
Bai Pu, being a key candidate for cultivation by the Divine Strategy Army, has the privilege to exchange one Mid-level force-exiting artifact, but it requires 7000 Honor points, and it's a low-grade version that takes 10 seconds to activate.
Bai Pu originally planned not to bring any force-exiting artifacts, didn't expect this [Wushan Divine Lady] to be so generous!
This directly enhanced the credibility of the Wushan Divine Lady, making it hard for Bai Pu to see her as an enemy.
The Wushan Divine Lady is evidently a master in negotiation, taking advantage of Bai Pu's interest, continued persuasively, "I also have information on some Mid-level Awakened experts from the Superstar Alliance! I know the Divine Strategy Army and Special Service Bureau definitely have similar intelligence, but you can conduct a comprehensive analysis, it will surely help you."
Bai Pu exhaled deeply, "You make a good point, I agree. When will I meet Blood Spider?"
"Qingyun is already in Xicheng." The Wushan Divine Lady's smile was a bit odd, seemed a little helpless, "I'll ask her to bring the artifact and come find you."
Bai Pu was stunned. From what he knew, Blood Spider was a candidate from the East Sea Region, how could she be in Xicheng?
Could it be that the Wushan Divine Lady was confident from the start that she could persuade me?
So she let Blood Spider set off early?
Such terrible confidence and judgment.
Bai Pu couldn't help but imagine.
"Alright, now that business is over, let's talk about Youth Cream." The Wushan Divine Lady gently patted her delicate little face, "Give me ten bottles... How much are you going to charge me?"
When it comes to money, Bai Pu immediately became serious, "I don't need money, I only accept Spiritual Points."
Huaxia Coin only meant food, clothing, and shelter to Bai Pu.
The Divine Strategy Army provides meals and accommodations, Bai Pu has equipment-transformed clothing, as for travel... he usually stays home practicing sword, rarely goes out.
That's why Su Xiaoxiao and Li Ling would tease, saying Bai Pu was extremely frugal, barely spending the basic monthly salary of 5000 from the Special Service Bureau.
"I meant Spiritual Points." The Wushan Divine Lady said confidently, "Although the raw materials used for Youth Cream are quite ordinary, the finished product is still a spiritual item, it definitely needs to be settled with Spiritual Points."
Bai Pu felt a bit troubled. Counting the raw materials, the cost of a bottle of Youth Cream might not even reach 10 Spiritual Points, and Bai Pu could produce dozens per pot.
"Well, although the raw materials aren't expensive, the labor costs are high... I don't have time to make them often... it definitely has to be supplied in limited quantities," Bai Pu said.
The essence of his speech could be summed up in three words:
Need more money.
"How many bottles can you produce in a year?" the Wushan Divine Lady asked.
"Currently, the plan is a maximum of 100 bottles a month, not more than 1000 bottles a year."
Bai Pu thought for a moment, then hurriedly added, "Only one bottle per person per month... to be purchased from Li Ling."
"What a business-savvy little guy."
The Wushan Divine Lady snorted, "Limited editions indeed merit higher prices. How about I buy 12 bottles as a year's supply? I'll give you 10,000 Spiritual Points!"
Li Ling beside him was shocked.
She was well aware of how low the cost of Youth Cream was.
Now it was about 1000 Spiritual Points per bottle, over a hundred times the profit margin!
Bai Pu, however, sighed and said, "Your request makes things difficult for me... fine, I'll compromise and sell you 12 bottles. But let it be known, if anyone comes to me about this matter, I won't acknowledge it."
The Wushan Divine Lady smiled, "Rest assured, I won't spread it."
After the video call ended, Li Ling curiously said, "Why do you look like you've suffered a loss? 10,000 Spiritual Points!"
"I haven't lost out, but this [Wushan Divine Lady] definitely got a good deal," Bai Pu said, "Right now Youth Cream's fame is still small. You think 1000 Spiritual Points per bottle is expensive... but it's an irreplaceable limited edition item."
Though Bai Pu didn't fully understand the allure of Youth Cream to women, he knew well, the combination of "irreplaceable" and "limited edition" could be tremendously powerful.
If Bai Pu was to package it well and cut back on production a bit, in the future [Youth Cream] might even make it to an Awakened auction.
It's just that he didn't want to expend energy in commercial operations.
Next, just wait for Blood Spider to show up.
