Capítulo 34: A Huge Compensation
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When it was close to four o'clock in the afternoon, the floating shuttle entered the harbor.
Before the people above could get down, a middle-aged man in a suit walked up the corridor on the top floor and walked to the door of Zhou Ji's room as if he had known where to go in advance.
The moment his eyes met the man's, Zhou Ji felt like his head was about to explode. At this moment, he couldn't be bothered with Yue Wu, who had yet to notice him. He carried his daughter and retreated to a corner of the room.
How did such a huge monster come to this suburban planet?! One had to know that in the path of cultivation, as far as Zhou Ji knew, Qi refinement and Foundation Establishment were on the same level, while crystal and core formation had already reached another level! ... five peak qi refinement experts might be able to kill a Foundation Establishment expert, but ten peak Foundation Establishment experts might not even be able to injure a single crystal!
'Could it be that he was still Yue Wu's enemy? This time, I've really caused trouble for me and my daughter!'
Just as Zhou Ji's brain was trying to think of a way out, Yue Wu's voice suddenly made him relax.
"Uncle Bai? Why did you have to come and look for me at home?"
Yue Wu's voice was filled with joy.
"Young master Yue was missing. The clan leader was worried about your safety, so he arranged for me to come to your aid at night. This star cluster is also my home, so it's convenient for me to handle some matters here."
The man looked a little thin, but his voice was deep and rich, giving people a sense of security.
Young Master Yue? Shouldn't this kid be called the fifth young master? And this person with the surname Bai sounded like a member of the Bai Family? Then why did it feel like he was a member of the Yue Family?
Zhou Ji didn't say anything at the side as he looked at the two of them exchanging pleasantries.
"Oh right, Uncle Bai, let me introduce you. This is the guy I told you about earlier who saved me, Zhou. Zhou, this is the uncle in the family that I told you about today."
As the two of them conversed, they changed the topic to Zhou Ji's side.
Although this man had already restrained his imposing manner, when he turned his gaze over, Zhou Ji still felt a lot of pressure.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhou, for saving my young master." This man surnamed Bai bowed slightly to Zhou Ji.
Zhou Ji hurriedly avoided bowing back, "It's nothing, it's just taking people's money to help them eliminate disasters."
He didn't really want to get involved with these families right now, so he naturally didn't chat too enthusiastically.
"By the way, Uncle Bai, did you bring the thing I asked you to bring? I promised to give it to Zhou." Yue Wu seemed to have anticipated Zhou Ji's coldness and spoke again.
Uncle Bai glanced at Zhou Ji and waved his hand. A foot-long hiltless short sword and two jade talismans appeared on the table.
"Zhou, let me introduce it to you. This flying sword is a low-level magic artifact, but even if it's a low-level one, its power is among the best among the low-level ones. It's specially prepared for cultivators who practice the Metal Object Control spell. The flying needle from before is actually a low-level magic artifact. If you have time, you can change it." Yue Wu didn't specifically mention Xiao Rui's matter, he only opened his mouth to introduce.
"There are two jade talismans. One of them records a medium-grade top-grade item-controlling spell, and the other records the wind-controlling spell. This is a flying spell. Because it consumes a lot of spiritual essence, it is recommended that you cultivate it until you reach the crystal."
Hiss... Although Zhou Ji could rely on modifying the spell to reach a certain level, this was the first time he had encountered a medium-grade top-grade spell outside. Not to mention another magical artifact and an even rarer flying spell! Was Yue Wu's life so valuable?
"Then, thank you very much."
Zhou Ji's heart moved slightly, and he put away all the things on the table. Nonsense, this was the reward that he had risked his life for, so there was no need to decline.
"Hehe, then we'll meet again if we're fated, Zhou, and Xiao Rui, goodbye!" Yue Wu smiled, waved at the two, and turned to walk out of the room.
"Goodbye, Uncle Wu!"
Xiao Rui also waved her hand at this time.
Phew... he finally sent this guy away.
Looking at Yue Wu's back, Zhou Ji let out a sigh of relief and raised his feet to walk toward the exit.
However, he didn't expect that just as the two of them left, another man in a white suit walked over.
"Have we... met before?" Zhou Ji carefully looked at the man's face and frowned slightly.
"Mr. Zhou, you have a good memory. The person you have met is the person-in-charge of the Wangfang Trading Company in Earth Armor City 3. He is also my younger brother, Liu Bai. I am his older brother, Liu Song. I am the person-in-charge of the Wangfang Trading Company in Heavenly Armor City."
The man in the white suit wore a professional fake smile that Zhou Ji was familiar with as he slowly spoke.
"Oh, I see..." Zhou Ji looked at the man in front of him. Now that the floating shuttle had entered the harbor, he did not think that the Wangfang Trading Company still had any thoughts of dealing with him.
"Regarding the incident on the floating shuttle, we have already received the relevant report. It was caused by some problems in our internal management. On behalf of the Wangfang Trading Company, I would like to express my deep humility to you."
Alright, he was deeply apologetic again. How many times had this been?
Zhou Ji felt that he was terribly unlucky. However, when he thought of the large amount of compensation he would receive every time, he suddenly felt that this kind of thing could also happen once or twice.
"En, let's cut to the main topic. After all, we still have a lot of faith in the credibility of your Wangfang Trading Company." Zhou Ji directly interrupted the person-in-charge's words.
"That's good. First of all, it's about the compensation. Because this incident was our fault, and the nature of the incident was extremely bad, our Wangfang Trading Company will compensate you for the mental damage with 6,000 crystals. If there's no problem, please sign this agreement, indicating that you won't pursue the matter further."
It was the same old signature. Zhou Ji skillfully completed all the work. In less than ten breaths, the jade plate vibrated slightly, and the number on the account almost doubled.
"Of course, as for the Photographic Talisman in your hand, we don't want it to be casually spread. Therefore, after our internal negotiation, we have decided to buy it at the price of 10,000 crystals."
Zhou Ji felt a little dizzy. After being smashed by the crystals, he couldn't even say anything to haggle over the price.
By the way, you guys should give me some face. If I raise the price after offering such a high price, it would seem that I'm a little greedy!
However... I like how wealthy your Wangfang Trading Company looks!
Without any objections, Zhou Ji once again signed an agreement. This time, he would hand over the money with one hand and the goods with the other. He pushed the jade amulet to the person-in-charge, and the person-in-charge also pushed over a storage bag with the words "pick up" written on it.
Zhou Ji opened it slightly, and the rich spiritual essence fluctuation inside made his eyes feel a little sore.
"Okay, then my mission is also completed. Thank you for your cooperation." The person-in-charge stood up and shook hands with Zhou Ji. "I also wish you a smooth journey from now on, and we don't have to meet again. Haha."
Zhou Ji also hugged and smiled.
After the person-in-charge left, Zhou Ji picked up his daughter, who had just laid on the bed for him to play alone. He went to the end of the floating shuttle to pick up Little White before rushing to the city.
He did not want to waste any more time here. He booked a ticket for the special class shuttle and set off for the Heavenly Armor City No. 1 at night...
