Chapter 147: Sponsorship
A few days after that day passed, the farce finally settled down!
These past few days, Ling Mo had been staying at Shrek Academy and hadn’t gone out.
A few days ago, Dugu Bo sent a message saying that things were progressing well at Heaven Dou Academy. In the next period of time, Ghost Gate might welcome its first batch of disciples.
“Flander, I want to discuss something with you…”
This day, Ling Mo came to the dean’s office and slipped right in without knocking.
Flander and Master were sitting inside with an extremely beautiful beauty.
If Ling Mo remembered correctly, she should be Liu Erlong, right?
Ling Mo had been at Shrek Academy for so many days but never had the opportunity to see what this woman, who could steal a man from the Pope, really looked like.
At first sight, Ling Mo was also stunned by her beauty.
“It’s Xiao Mo! No one visits the three treasures hall unless they have something to say. What do you want from me…”
The three of Flander seemed to be discussing something, and Ling Mo’s sudden intrusion interrupted their conversation.
“Flander, is this the student you often mention?”
Liu Erlong frowned and carefully sized up Ling Mo for a moment, extremely displeased.
What displeased her was Ling Mo’s sudden intrusion, which was very rude.
“That’s right, Erlong! Let me introduce you. This is the most outstanding student from Shrek Academy in the past twenty years, Ling Mo…
He’s only thirteen years old now, and his soul power has already reached the Soul King level…”
Flander said proudly. Every student he brought out from Shrek Academy was his greatest pride.
Especially Ling Mo, this freakish existence.
Although Ling Mo’s cultivation had nothing to do with him, as long as Ling Mo’s name was still on Shrek Academy’s signboard, he was his student, no matter who came.
“Alright, stop bragging!”
Master didn’t like Ling Mo very much because he stole Tang San’s limelight, which also stole his own limelight.
At the beginning, he liked Ling Mo because of his Martial Soul, but later he realized that he didn’t understand Ling Mo’s Martial Soul at all and couldn’t provide any help.
Moreover, Ling Mo always contradicted him in theory.
Therefore, he gave up…
“Xiao Mo, do you have something to do here?”
Master said flatly, his tone somewhat uncomfortable.
“Uh… it seems like I’m not welcome here?”
Ling Mo felt depressed. Was this Master so petty?
He had only contradicted him a few times, so why was he acting so unnatural.
Flander seemed to have noticed something too, and he didn’t want to get involved in Master and Ling Mo’s matters.
“Xiao Mo, what did you say you wanted to discuss with me earlier?”
“Nothing! I just wanted to ask you about some investment matters, but it seems you’re not very willing, so forget it…”
“Investment?”
Upon hearing this, Flander’s eyes suddenly lit up with greed, and he hurriedly grabbed Ling Mo.
“Don’t go! Come on… let’s find a place to talk properly…”
When it came to money, Flander was serious. He directly took Ling Mo to a quiet place for a detailed discussion.
As for Master? Who cares? He was the dean. As long as he got the money, they could talk about the rest later.
The two went to the next door office, and Flander couldn’t wait to say.
“Investment, how do you plan to invest? Tell me quickly…”
“Nothing much! I just want to use this Soul Master Competition to boost some popularity for my sect…
So, I want to invest one million in advertising fees to put the Ghost Gate logo on the school uniforms. With so many people at the Soul Master Competition, I can attract more people…”
As soon as these words came out, Flander slapped the table and decided without any hesitation.
“Deal! Haha… one million, not a single copper less…”
Hearing one million, Flander’s eyes went straight!
This was a huge sum of money. Who could resist that?
Ling Mo had specifically come to discuss with Flander because he knew his greedy nature. With anyone else, it might have been difficult.
With Flander, it was basically a sure thing.
One had to know, in the original story, he specially customized that unique set of school uniforms for the Shrek Seven Devils for tens of thousands of Gold Soul Coins in sponsorship.
“Don’t rush me yet! I have one more thing…”
This time, Ling Mo wasn’t just here for the advertisement.
“What else?”
Flander was stunned for a moment. As long as the one million was secured, he could agree to anything.
“I want to set up an admissions office at Shrek. Any Shrek Academy graduates who want to join the sect can directly go through the admissions office to join my Ghost Gate…
Additionally, besides this one million, I can specially allocate a sum of money every day to sponsor Shrek Academy!”
Upon hearing this, Flander hesitated…
Almost every academy had such a system, but Shrek Academy didn’t yet.
Like Heaven Dou Academy, outstanding performers could directly join the Heaven Dou Empire army after graduation.
Similar to Spirit Hall, it also had such academies. Almost every academy had a great power behind it.
“Don’t agree too quickly. Think it over carefully! If this works out, in the future, Shrek Academy will have my Ghost Gate backing it…
You should know very well what the current situation on the continent is like, right? To develop smoothly without a supporter, it’s hard to compete with other academies…”
Ling Mo’s words hit Flander right in the heart.
Originally, with Liu Erlong and Master there, they had the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan behind them.
But… those two had now left the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, so that backing no longer existed.
How strong was Ghost Gate? Flander knew it all too well.
“Of course, it doesn’t mean everyone must join Ghost Gate. It’s completely voluntary.
My Ghost Gate’s assessment is also very strict. Not just anyone can join!
You can think it over. This has no downsides for Shrek Academy…”
After stating his conditions, Ling Mo prepared to leave!
He knew Flander would need some time to consider, after all, this wasn’t a small matter.
“Alright, I’ll give you a reply in a couple of days…”
Flander hesitated for a moment and decided it was better to discuss it with Master and the others.
For Shrek Academy, for these students, he had to consider it carefully.
Although Ling Mo was also a Shrek Academy student and wouldn’t harm them.
But… a sect involved huge interests. Once these students joined, it would be hard for them to leave.
“Okay, think it over carefully! That advertising fee matter is unrelated to this. Even if you don’t agree to the later conditions, the advertisement can still proceed…”
“Really?”
Hearing this, Flander immediately felt relieved, as if he could see the one million waving at him.
To be honest, Ling Mo really didn’t lack money now.
There was no way around it. The heirs of the two major financial groups in Douluo were both his wives. He couldn’t not be rich even if he wanted to.
Suddenly, he started to dislike money a bit… numb to it, not interested at all.
After leaving the office, Ling Mo wandered around the academy. He didn’t attend classes. At his level, those teachers couldn’t teach him anything anymore.
With the Soul Master Competition approaching, Ling Mo had many things to prepare, and he was extremely busy during this time.
Things were okay on his side, but Dugu Bo’s side was hitting walls everywhere. After several days of deadlock with Heaven Dou Academy and investing a huge sum, they finally agreed to set up an admissions office.
But they wouldn’t promote it, so they had to promote it themselves… otherwise, no one would know what Ghost Gate was.
Those three old men at Heaven Dou Academy already didn’t like Dugu Bo. Getting them to reluctantly agree to an admissions office was already impressive.
As for promotion, it could only rely on Dugu Yan, because in terms of fame, she was one of the top at Heaven Dou Academy.
Results are warming up! Keep it going, next wave recommendation explode
