Chapter 39: Selling Anyone Is Selling
“Everyone stop for a moment, let me introduce the new students first.”
Not long after, Gu Yang returned with people. He clapped his hands, signaling everyone to look at him. Under everyone’s gazes, he had the newcomers introduce themselves.
This year, a total of six entered the Martial Arts Track.
Deng Hao and Jia Dong were high school seniors who came up from Preparatory, and two others were high school sophomores promoted from freshmen who directly broke through Dragon Gate without entering Preparatory.
The last one broke through Dragon Gate right after entering high school freshman year and directly entered the Martial Arts Track. She was a little girl, skinny and small, looking malnourished and very shy.
But such a person made Li Ye look at her in a new light.
The skinnier they were, the higher the talent, which meant they had practiced up purely with the Guiding Method without going through a Martial Arts School’s Training Method, and even ate averagely. To break through Dragon Gate under such conditions, how could it be ordinary?
After the introductions, Gu Yang looked at Li Ye again. “Student Li Ye, come up and introduce yourself too.”
Li Ye walked forward, and as soon as he started, grand applause rang out around him, in stark contrast to the sparse sounds just now.
“My name is Li Ye.”
Clap clap clap!
Just after saying one sentence, the applause grew louder, suddenly giving Li Ye an urge to go eat Guangdong cuisine.
After a simple introduction, Gu Yang stopped Li Ye and took him to the office on the second floor of the venue.
Gu Yang gestured for Li Ye to sit down and asked, “Have you learned the Foundation Establishment Technique?”
As Li Ye nodded, Gu Yang continued, “You people who have broken through, the Martial Arts you learned should have your own approach. I won’t give blind guidance. What pass did you break?”
“Vajra Pass.”
These words made Gu Yang show the same expression as Yao Lèdān.
“I see your Lightness Skill is impressive, able to catch Xiang Feipeng.”
“A bit of Lightness Skill.”
“Alright then.”
Gu Yang sighed, “Our school now gives ordinary Martial Arts Track students one Nutritional Supplement per week, two in the fourth week, five per month. This is the school’s reward from getting rankings in the last Martial Arts Competition.”
“Xiang Feipeng was beaten into the hospital by you. I just checked; his leg bones are shattered, internal organs damaged, can’t move freely without two months. You just beat Xiang Feipeng too. We originally have regular selections, but you won single-handedly, which is about the same. So I want to ask if you’re interested in the Main Force.”
Li Ye was just about to speak when Gu Yang continued:
“Don’t rush to refuse. Main Force members get four Nutritional Supplements per week, increasing based on Martial Arts Competition rankings. The things you get from Experience Points, the school buys at 10% premium. You can sell them yourself too. By default, we exchange for Nutritional Supplements, but you can get other things too.”
“Also Martial Arts. I know your Martial Arts are superior or even top-tier, but the school has some Martial Arts that can fill shortcomings. Main Force members can freely choose from this category. If you need better ones, the school will try to get them.”
“Including good ingredients and good weapons, whatever you want, the school will do its best to satisfy you.”
Li Ye hadn’t planned to refuse anyway, but hearing this, he asked, “So what’s the cost?”
Conditions this good, no cost at all?
“Martial Arts Competitions, and enough things obtained from Experience.”
Gu Yang said, “The school’s Martial Arts Track is different from normal classes. To put it bluntly, it’s like mercenaries. Main Force members spend most energy on competitions: district Martial Arts Competition, City Martial Arts Competition, Provincial Martial Arts Competition. Higher rankings mean more rewards, and you can choose better Experience Points.”
“The output from Experience Points also needs your extra effort. It shouldn’t be hard for people like you, but it’s worth spending time for better things.”
Li Ye nodded thoughtfully.
This Main Force position was good treatment but required effort and time.
“What exactly are Experience Points? Are there that many Demonic Creatures for people to deal with?” Li Ye asked curiously.
Such a small mountain, even if overflowing, has a limit. Are there that many Ironclad Pigs for them to hunt?
It couldn’t refresh at twelve o’clock, right?
“Don’t worry about that. There are multiple Experience Points, all specially supplied for school Martial Arts Track students. So, do you agree?”
How could he not agree? Of course Li Ye agreed.
He was originally worried about Cultivation Resources.
Last time already made Pan Zhengyang stop supplying; with daily expenses of over a hundred thousand, no matter how big the favor, Li Ye couldn’t keep doing that.
People have to rely on themselves.
Helping him stabilize to Three Dragon Gates was already very good.
“Good. About Xiang Feipeng, no need to worry too much. It’s martial competition; sometimes people die if hands aren’t held back. You’re all Martial Artists now, have to face Demonic Creatures later. Being hesitant won’t do. From the day you broke Dragon Gate, you’re no longer ordinary.”
“There won’t be any death quotas, right?” Li Ye asked.
“No, safety in this aspect must be considered. Including Experience areas, since they’re called Experience, the dangerous ones have been removed.”
Gu Yang stood up. “As a teacher, though I can’t guide you breakthrough types, I can give suggestions. You practiced ‘Vajra Pass’, so best learn a Weapon. The school’s Martial Arts don’t match Martial Arts Schools’, but have reference value. Look first; if suitable, when you have enough contributions, you can request a better one.”
“Alright, I got it. Thanks, Teacher. When’s the next Experience?” Li Ye asked.
Gu Yang said, “Experience next week. After that, district league starts. You can prepare.”
After chatting a bit more, the two left together.
Martial Arts Track students are quite free in a way, because breaking Dragon Gate equals entering Martial Arts University, no need to learn more. The only study is General Knowledge; they take one class period daily in a specific Classroom for General Knowledge.
After all, ordinary Martial Arts Universities have high and low distinctions; this is the General Knowledge boost.
Other time is self Martial Arts Training. Gu Yang as Martial Arts Teacher’s role is guiding Martial Arts Track students on issues in the venue, what needs supplementing, and preventing accidents.
In this aspect, Li Ye didn’t need it at all.
Seeing Li Ye come out, Yao Lèdān, already mixing with Deng Hao and Jia Dong, asked, “Selected?”
“Selected. Treatment’s good, no reason to refuse.” Li Ye smiled.
Yao Lèdān’s eyes lit up. “Let’s make a deal.”
Li Ye looked over.
Yao Lèdān said, “I know Main Force treatment is good, school’s price great, but outside prices are decent too. With your strength, just going to Dragon Mountain yields at least twenty Ironclad Pigs a day. Sell those to me? I’ll buy at 15% premium.”
So where do so many Demonic Creatures come from?
Is Dragon Mountain some hellhole?
“What are you doing with them? Eating?” Li Ye asked in surprise.
“I don’t have that big an appetite. Of course, sell them.”
Yao Lèdān smiled awkwardly. “My family specializes in catering Supply.”
Li Ye raised an eyebrow and looked at Deng Hao and Jia Dong.
The two grinned. Jia Dong said, “Sister Le is generous. We’ve been bought off. Giving to anyone is the same.”
Li Ye laughed. “You’re doing Business in school? How many agreed?”
“Half.”
Yao Lèdān waved grandly. “For ingredients and Price, I can match what school gives, and what school can’t, I still can.”
No wonder the kind reminder at first; it was Instinct to build goodwill.
Good relations make Business smooth.
