Reusable Animal Encouragement Talisman?
Increase the chances of fishing?
Isn’t this exactly what Zhou needs?
Could it be…
He actually fixed Zhou’s Fluorescence Talisman!?
How is that possible!?
Yue Linger’s almond eyes were wide open, staring at Jiang Cheng. The astonishment in her eyes was incomparable, and though she tried to hide it, she couldn’t conceal it at all.
Jiang Cheng was puzzled by Yue Linger’s stare.
Is she unsatisfied with the fifty-fifty split?
Jiang Cheng wondered to himself.
He said in a gentle tone, “Yue, do you have something to say? We are in the midst of discussing our collaboration. Feel free to speak your mind.”
“I…”
Yue Linger opened her mouth but couldn’t make a sound.
What could she say?
Kowtow and recognize Jiang Cheng as her “dad”?
Yue Ran looked at Yue Linger with concern. She noticed that her usually sharp and adorable cousin seemed to have her soul sucked away whenever she encountered Jiang Cheng.
Yue Ran admitted that Jiang Cheng was highly valued by President Lu, and it wasn’t surprising that such an excellent, distinguished male cultivator would appeal to Yue Linger.
But as a female cultivator, shouldn’t Yue Linger at least have some restraint?
Being unable to speak upon seeing Jiang Cheng, how could that be acceptable?
“Linger! Master Jiang is asking you a question. Quickly look at the contract and see if you’re satisfied with the earnings from crafting talismans,” Yue Ran urged.
Jiang Cheng also nodded, “Yue, if you’re unsatisfied, we can still discuss the profit-sharing ratio.”
When dealing with partners, Jiang Cheng was always very easy to talk to. Besides, the main work of crafting talismans was done by Yue Linger; he was just lying back and getting paid, so a little more or less didn’t matter to him.
Yue Linger just felt her lips were dry, and her throat itchy, unable to speak.
She slowly lowered her head to look at the contract and saw the “fifty-fifty split” on it.
A fifty-fifty split in the context of first-grade talismans was considered a very low profit share. Since the profits from first-grade talismans were already low, taking only half was tantamount to earning nothing.
However, Yue Linger had some experience with Zhou Yunshan’s “Fluorescence Talisman task.”
That was a talisman worth six thousand!
If they were to share fifty-fifty, that would be a full three thousand low-grade Spirit Stones!
This was more than she could earn from crafting ten second-grade talismans!
Yue Linger forced herself to calm down and went over the contract carefully.
She realized she had been overthinking it.
The price of a “Reusable Animal Encouragement Talisman” was indeed not as exaggerated as six thousand.
But in the examples provided in Jiang Cheng’s contract, the average price for one “Reusable Animal Encouragement Talisman” was around twenty-five hundred!
Two thousand five hundred low-grade Spirit Stones! That’s equivalent to a talisman being able to buy three to four square meters of housing in Wuyue!
This profit margin was simply outrageous!
As Yue Linger flipped through the contract, she became even more composed.
Jiang Cheng’s contract clearly recorded the profit distribution model for a “Reusable Animal Encouragement Talisman.”
First off, half of the listed price of the talisman, which was over a thousand Spirit Stones, was to be invested with the Task Hall of Tongtian Sect to establish the “Wuyue Fish Care Fund.” This fund aimed to protect the aquatic animal resources of Wuyue.
Of the remaining thousand or so, after deducting the cost for raw materials and outsourcing for other cultivators to assemble the finished product, there was still about twelve hundred Spirit Stones to be split between her and Jiang Cheng.
After calculating, in essence, she could earn about six hundred low-grade Spirit Stones for every “Reusable Animal Encouragement Talisman” she crafted.
For a second-grade Talisman Master, such daily income isn’t considered high.
Yue Linger could earn four to five hundred low-grade Spirit Stones just by casually crafting two second-grade talismans. Thê sourc𝗲 of this content n/o/v/(𝒆l)bi((n))
But the problem was, restricted by her Qi cultivation level, she could only craft two second-grade talismans per day.
And she had just reviewed the encouragement talisman crafting tutorial blueprint.
With her ninth level of Qi cultivation, the strength of her ninth level spiritual power, plus her second-grade Talisman Master skills, she could craft twenty to thirty encouragement talismans a day without a problem.
Taking twenty a day for the calculation…
A six-hundred Low-grade Spirit Stone talisman…
Helping Jiang Cheng draw talismans, her income for one day was:
Twelve thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones!!!
At this very moment, Yue Linger finally understood her cousin’s good intentions.
She owed her cousin a serious apology.
Sorry, she had underestimated Jiang Cheng before.
Taking tasks from Jiang Cheng was simply too tempting!
It was as tempting as squatting on the ground and picking up money with a burlap bag, hardly any different.
The size of such profits would make not only a novice second-tier Talisman Master like her envious, but also many seasoned third-tier Talisman Masters.
Jiang Cheng saw Yue Linger had been looking at the contract for a long time without speaking, so he figured she was too embarrassed to speak up.
So he took the initiative and said, “Yue, if you are not satisfied with the share of the profits…”
Before Jiang Cheng could finish, Yue Linger hastily spoke up and cut him off.
“I’m satisfied, very satisfied! When do we start work?”
Seeing Yue Linger’s enthusiasm for the work, Jiang Cheng couldn’t help but nod in appreciation.
Indeed, trusting the Talisman Master Association was the right decision; the Yue Linger they recommended to him was a very useful second-tier Talisman Master.
Aside from being pretty, which might attract trouble like an enchantress, there were no other problems.
Jiang Cheng had always judged others based on their inner qualities, such as character and work capacity.
Even though Yue Linger’s outstanding appearance was quite a flaw, Jiang Cheng still chose to trust her moral character and signed an official contract with her to “jointly develop a reusable Animal Encouragement Talisman.”
With Yue Ran as a witness, Jiang Cheng and Yue Linger reached a cooperation.
Afterward, Yue Ran went to deal with storing the relevant contract.
Meanwhile, Jiang Cheng and Yue Linger remained in the rest room where the contract was signed.
With the official business over, Jiang Cheng prepared to go home and continue studying “Dialogue with College Students,” and took the initiative to stand up and say to Yue Linger, “Yue, you can take the blueprint home to practice tonight, I’ll bring you the related tasks tomorrow, how does that sound?”
“You’re the boss, what you say goes.”
In the presence of Jiang Cheng, even the normally proud Yue Linger lost her temper.
After all, as a second-tier Talisman Master, she needed to rely on Jiang Cheng, the “second prize winner,” for her livelihood.
“In that case, I will take my leave…”
“Wait a moment!”
Yue Linger also stood up and called out to Jiang Cheng who was about to leave.
“Jiang Cheng, have you forgotten something?”
Jiang Cheng said in confusion, “No, I haven’t.”
“Remember the bet we made in front of Zhou in the Task Hall?” Yue Linger said slowly.
Her tone was calm, but her full chest heaved slightly, suggesting otherwise.
Jiang Cheng sensed something off in the atmosphere and said hastily, “About that, Yue, you really don’t need to worry. Our bet was ‘to repair.’ In fact, I didn’t repair it; I made a new one, so you won the bet. You don’t have to force yourself. That matter is over.”
“Jiang, do you understand the consequences of making a Heavenly Dao oath? If an oath is made but not honored, at the least one’s cultivation level will stagnate, at worst Heavenly Dao will impose a Heavenly Punishment, scattering the soul and excluding it from reincarnation,” Yue Linger said, her delicate hands clenched, her body trembling slightly.
She took a deep breath and said, “I don’t want to bet.”
Jiang Cheng understood.
For Yue Linger, this matter left no room for maneuver. Before the Heavenly Dao, all cunning was useless.
He was definitely going to be a ‘Dad’ today.
Yue Linger, head bowed, stood in place struggling for a long time, unable to get over the hurdle in her heart.
But then she thought, Jiang Cheng was now her patron, handing her tons of Spirit Stones as if they cost him nothing; even a real father couldn’t match up to him, right?
Yue Linger, her face flushed with effort, her eyes brimming with tears, looked up, her lips moved, and in an extremely low voice she said to Jiang Cheng, “Daddy…”
Jiang Cheng, cringing to the tips of his toes, quickly said, “The words have been said, and this matter ends here; let us never speak of it again! Yue, I must go now, goodbye!”
Having finally uttered the long-restrained words, Yue Linger felt no more embarrassment but a sense of relief.
She watched Jiang Cheng awkwardly flee because of her words and suddenly, she felt less prejudiced against him.
He was actually not bad, handsome, and quite cute in personality, wasn’t he?
