My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 166 Professional Entries - Top Sales Champion

After confirming Li Wei's terms, Lao Xinzhi immediately called his employer, the chairman of Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group.

"A regional manager position, a Nascent Soul license, and a set of Nascent Soul equipment? Is he insane?!"

"Director Jiang, believe me, he's worth this price! In fact, he's the only one in the entire Zhongzhou who's worth this price, because he's truly insane!"

"If he weren't a madman, why would he target those aristocratic families at a time like this? Besides, if he helps us, he'll offend Huang Xiang, the Heavenly Emperor's special envoy."

"So in my opinion, this is not even enough to compensate him for his emotional distress! Since we're using him as a pawn, we should naturally offer corresponding compensation."

"Furthermore, I must remind you that today the stock prices of the entire Zhongzhou elixir sector have evaporated by more than one trillion, of which Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group alone has lost nearly 500 billion. Therefore, if we do not crack down on those who illegally trade black cultivation techniques in time, the losses will be even greater!"

Lao Xinzhi understands negotiation, and is an expert in it.

Li Wei sat opposite him, watching him talk animatedly and use rhetoric to fight for his own interests, and felt rather strange.

After all, strictly speaking, Director Jiang was Lao Xinzhi's employer, but he was instead arguing for himself. There aren't many salespeople these days who wholeheartedly serve their competitors.

So Li Wei couldn't help but develop a slight liking for him, and even felt that this guy seemed to be negotiating too hard, so maybe he should lower his demands a bit.
Thinking about it,

Li Wei felt a chill run down his spine as if he had fallen into ice water, and then suddenly realized something was wrong.

How could someone with my personality proactively help others save money?

Is there something wrong with this?
Did this bastard use some special spell or technique on me?
A strong sense of vigilance rose in Li Wei's heart. He subconsciously activated the Divine Firmament Tribulation Technique, using the power of thunder to see through himself. Sure enough, he discovered that a shadow had appeared in his heart at some point, and this shadow was constantly eroding his sanity.

Good guy,
When did I get infected?

Li Wei was in the Thunder Department, protected by the Heavenly Laws and the Divine Firmament Tribulation Technique, yet he hadn't noticed it at all before!
Fortunately, the Divine Firmament Tribulation Technique has the ability to devour all evil desires in one's heart, which allowed Li Wei to wake up at the critical moment.

"Hmph! I knew there wasn't a single good person on this Celestial Planet, and now it seems I was right!"

Li Wei almost actually believed Lao Xinzhi's lies!
If Li Wei, as the representative of Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical Group, has any conscience, then he is a virtuous man who has lived nine generations!
"Whatever that shadow or whatever it is, get out of my way!"

Boom!
The Divine Firmament Calamity Technique suddenly descended upon Li Wei's mind, striking the shadow and illuminating it completely.

Then he realized,

This shadow is actually a rare entry in a special category.

[Professional term - Top Sales Champion]

[Effect 1: Professional Trust - When you wholeheartedly serve your customers, they will continuously develop a positive impression of you and overlook some hidden pitfalls.]

[Effect 2: Reduced Embarrassment – ​​The more service you provide to customers and the better your attitude, the more embarrassed they will become to refuse your sales pitch, and eventually they may even be willing to accept some of your offers.]

[Effect 3: Stirring the Heart – The item you're selling will be constantly imprinted in the customer's mind, making them think about it from time to time. The more they think about it, the stronger their desire will become.]

Upon seeing this, Li Wei's face darkened.

What a cunning entry!

Its effectiveness does not require any contact or pose any danger. All it takes is for someone to work hard to fight for his rights and serve him, and it can subtly influence Li Wei's spirit without him even realizing it.

This is a powerful term that is impossible to defend against or restrict, truly embodying the principle of "I'm doing this for your own good, but it has nothing to do with you; however, it is your obligation to be good to me," which is utterly upside down!

If Li Wei hadn't discovered it, this guy would have taken advantage of the situation!
Li Wei then sneered, "Negotiations are fine, but discounts?!"

Die, you stinking entry!

Are you trying to soften my skin by being nice to me?

I'll chop off the radicals and components of your title, "Top Sales Champion"!
Boom!

Under the onslaught of the Divine Firmament Tribulation Technique, the [Top Sales Champion] entry immediately fled in terror, quickly escaping Li Wei's body and returning to Lao Xinzhi's body.

A hint of surprise appeared on the face of the man who worked overtime in Zhongzhou: "I didn't expect Inspector Li to be able to withstand my negotiation offensive. Amazing! Truly amazing!"

For monks of this "professional manager" type, using various influential professional terms in negotiations and competitions is routine practice.

In the realm of spiritual practice,

You can't even block professional terms related to negotiation, yet you expect to negotiate fairly?
Ha ha!

Wait until next life!
Because you'll never know you've been sold out in your entire life, and you'll even be helping the seller count the money!
Anyway,

When Li Wei blocked the intrusion of negotiation terms, he earned more respect.

Director Jiang, who had been playing along on the phone, finally made a concession and promised, "You are a divine official of the celestial palace, so you cannot be our regional manager. However, I can give you the title of group consultant and stipulate in the contract that your personal safety will be the responsibility of our group."

"We can tailor-make Nascent Soul level divine equipment for you, but that will have to wait until you reach the Nascent Soul stage. If you can't wait, we can convert it into cash!" "In addition, we can also convert Nascent Soul licenses into cash! After all, these things are extremely precious, they are strategic reserve resources of the Heavenly Court, and each one is individually registered. So it's not that we don't want to give them, it's that we don't have them!"

Discount money, discount money, discount money.

These large corporations have money all the time; money is just paper to them.

However, both the Nascent Soul license and the Nascent Soul-level combat equipment are priceless and unavailable. Even if these large pharmaceutical companies had them, they would not give them to an outsider like Li Wei, because they themselves do not have enough.

So if money can solve the problem, that would be the best!
Li Wei, however, refused to budge: "Putting everything else aside, I absolutely must get my hands on the Nascent Soul license! Otherwise, I have no confidence in surviving the hostility of so many divine blood families!"

After a moment of silence, Director Jiang said, "We indeed do not have a Nascent Soul license."

"Then there's no need to discuss it!"

"Wait! Although we don't have a ready-made license, we can give you a spot to take the Nascent Soul License exam. Don't underestimate this spot; in reality, only a little over five thousand people in Zhongzhou can take the exam each year, so it's incredibly valuable."

Li Wei was completely dumbfounded.

A Nascent Soul License actually requires an exam?
This is too outrageous!

However, upon closer examination, the lifespan of Golden Core cultivators is several thousand years, and they can generally live for thirty-four cycles of the sexagenary cycle without any problem. Therefore, if there were no strict restrictions on the advancement from Golden Core to Nascent Soul, the human realm of the Five Continents would probably be teeming with Nascent Soul monsters long ago.

After thinking carefully for a moment, Li Wei said, "The Nascent Soul License can be exchanged for an exam qualification! But the Nascent Soul level combat divine equipment is indispensable. If you cannot make it now, then give me the key materials and forging fees, and I will find someone to forge it myself in the future."

The materials aren't a big problem, since a Nascent Soul level divine equipment generally requires at least three to five times the amount of materials to be fully formed, and it's rare to pass the level on the first try.

Li Wei's decision to request materials saved them another expense!
So Director Jiang said, "Okay! Then we'll give you a group consultant title, an examination permit for the Nascent Soul license, a set of forging materials for a lightning-attribute Nascent Soul divine weapon, and 150 billion in cash!"

No wonder people say that Nascent Soul cultivators are incredibly expensive.

It costs 5 billion just to forge a set of equipment, how much more money would be spent on other in-game purchases?

No wonder Feng Yan had to frantically drain the blood of his followers for hundreds of years before he could form a Nascent Soul after establishing his Dark Web branch; it was just too expensive!

Li Wei then said, "Deal!"

Lao Xinzhi, who was well-versed in business, even drafted a contract during their conversation and handed it to Li Wei.

I was once tricked by a candy seller, and I still don't trust sweet talkers.

Li Wei has not let his guard down yet and is still wary of Lao Xinzhi's methods, so he dares not sign that contract for the time being.

"White knot!"

Bai Jie pushed open the door and entered, respectfully saying, "Inspector?"

"Go contact the No. 1 Law Firm in Xinhai City. Tell them I want to upgrade to VIP status at their firm and ask them to send someone over immediately."

Although Li Wei has taught himself the Heavenly Laws, his main focus is on criminal law. Economic laws are a blind spot for him, so it's best to find a professional for professional matters!

While this may not be 100% foolproof, it at least reduces the chances of you getting scammed!

Besides, he's already an inspector, and he's embezzled so much money, he really should get a VIP membership. Otherwise, if he gets arrested one day, he won't have any legal documents to protect his core secrets, which would be too insecure.

"Yes!"

After Bai Jie left

Lao Xinzhi said admiringly, "Not bad! To suddenly receive such a large sum of money and still remain humble and not blinded by greed, you definitely have more potential than us old guys in the future."

But unfortunately, the tallest tree in the forest is bound to be felled by the wind.

This time, the kid really did squeeze a lot of money out of Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical.

But what's the cost?
Zhongzhou Pharmaceutical is currently trying to stabilize its stock price and get through the painful period of market transformation. It is only because it is willing to offend the Divine Blood Family to suppress the Dark Web cultivation transfer payment system. Once they get through this painful period, will they still become Li Wei's protective umbrella and shield him from the wind and rain?
Thinking of this, Lao Xinzhi suddenly laughed self-deprecatingly.

Oh shit!

Am I not just a nobody with no powerful backing, forced to survive in the cracks between various powerful forces?
What right do you have to laugh at others?
Moreover, although Li Wei is now standing on the plank of Huang Xiang that is about to be removed, he has seized the opportunity to gain the protection of Zhongzhou Medicine.
But despite all his hard work and careful consideration, didn't he ultimately end up as the "Overtime King of Zhongzhou"?

Although he has accumulated immense wealth, he has forever lost the system for achieving immortality and has become a professional manager for large corporations and powerful organizations.

So if we really compare, he's not as good as Li Wei!
For a moment, Lao Xin was overwhelmed with thoughts and couldn't help but sigh, "In this vast immortal sea, countless abyssal beasts rise and fall, and they can easily stir up raging waves. How many of us ordinary people can survive the three calamities and five tribulations and successfully reach the shore when we are in the same furnace with these beasts?"

If you don't aspire to immortality, you'll remain an ant in the end.

Why.
