Cosmic-Level Demon God

I must admit, Ying Huang is someone who truly knows how to make people feel at ease, like being in a warm spring breeze.

Of course, the prerequisite is that you must demonstrate enough value.

This first-sequence heir of the Ying family does not lack the arrogance of the nine noble surnames embedded in his bones. On the contrary, elitism is evident in his words and actions.

But compared to other scion families, as long as you pass his "value assessment," you will feel his respect.

"The Ying family offering two lives indeed shows sincerity."

Qin Shi smiled slightly but didn't shift his gaze, keeping his eyes on that thin card storing information.

"But with all due respect, this is the price the Ying family should pay.

Ying Lin was an accomplice and the culprit in Senior Brother Shen's incident, and as for Ying Xiao, if he wants to seek justice for his son, the Nanhuang Daoist School won't show mercy either.

These two lives are already things laid out on the table, Mr. Ying, let's be more direct, is there a more sincere chip to offer?"

This kid really doesn't give a damn about the nine surnames!

Ying Huang's mouth twitched; Qin Shi was completely playing by his own rules.

Since he was little, he had learned a deep understanding of one thing: the respect of the nine surnames is very valuable.

Carrying the name "Ying" is akin to being born with a silver spoon, just one more look from him would make others feel highly favored.

He realized at the age of three that the value gap between people is huge, like the difference between gold and gravel.

"What do you want? I won't be staying in Heng Province for long. For this large-scale development initiative, Xuyang Heavy Industry will take on part of the logistics and material transportation."

Ying Huang sighed, experiencing for the first time what it feels like to be on the receiving end.

"Does Xuyang Heavy Industry have military-grade Divine Machines under its command?"

Qin Shi couldn't forget, constantly dreaming of piloting a Divine Machine.

The exhilarating feeling of body and steel merging into one, just thinking about it made his blood boil and soul shiver.

Never again will I look down on those mechanical path folks, calling them "perverted gearheads."

Doubt, understanding, respect, transcendence!

This was Qin Shi's psychological transformation after piloting a Divine Machine once.

"Why are you so obsessed with Divine Machines instead of properly developing along the Martial Arts Path?"

Ying Huang frowned; Xuyang Heavy Industry has military backing, one of the few major state-owned enterprises.

Under its command not only has a strong private force, but even its escort fleets are fully military-produced, a level that repels raiding parties in fear.

"The top products of Xuyang Heavy Industry are the 'Sword' series and the 'Hammer' series; there are two 'Soldier Level' machines to hold the fort, but I can't possibly give them to you."

Ying Huang shook his head; military Divine Machines are significant assets, and even as the CEO, he couldn't just hand them to Qin Shi to operate.

"A pity, you could have witnessed the birth of a legendary pilot."

Qin Shi's tone was regrettable, making Ying Huang's face twitch.

This guy, his face is so thick-skinned!

Legendary pilots are extremely rare in Dongxia's nine millennia of history.

They must pilot a King Level Divine Machine and achieve perfect integration!

Their combat power rivals Fourth Stage Celestial Barrier Emperor-level powerhouses!

"However, I can arrange a dedicated logistics team for you."

Ying Huang rubbed his nose, envisioning a conversation with a Scorching Sun level young genius would revolve around "Dongxia's future," "Star Sea's grand plans," "individual and fate," and whatnot, not this bizarre bargaining over a few pennies like a market haggle.

"Hmm, acceptable."

Qin Shi reluctantly agreed.

The support squads of Xuyang Heavy Industry are reputed in the industry; the high-order inheritance orders of the nine surnames can line up from the Imperial Capital to Hai Province.

Ying Huang's temple throbbed; to him, who prided himself as a "businessman," nothing stings more than seeing his offered price being disregarded.

Especially Qin Shi's dismissive attitude of "it's fine," "it'll do," was like a smooth combo of silence and cheeky jabs.

Even with his profound Qi Cultivation Skill, Ying Huang found controlling his emotions difficult.

"So impressive, huh? Can you throw in an extra squad?"

Qin Shi raised an eyebrow, seemingly delighted.

"Mr. Qin, it would be best if you maintain a correct attitude."

Ying Huang's chest slightly heaved, speaking more heavily:

"Reaching a cooperation agreement often requires both parties to demonstrate sincerity.

Otherwise, it becomes an unequal dialogue, hard to sustain."

Seeing Ying Huang's perfect and elegant "dominant CEO" facade crack, Qin Shi coughed lightly, then said seriously:

"If this is your personal sincerity, Mr. Ying, then I am willing to accept."

Saying that, he stood up and proactively extended his hand.

Ying Huang was momentarily stunned, then chuckled.

Is this guy really just an underage high schooler?

He realized that all of Qin Shi's maneuvers earlier were merely to seize the initiative in the conversation.

This tactic might not be sophisticated, but alas, this kid is the one in charge.

"Mr. Qin, as compensation for the complimentary support squad, I hope you perform outstandingly in the local development drive in Heng Province.

As the CEO of Xuyang Heavy Industry, I too need to provide a reasonable explanation to the board."

Ying Huang slowly stood up, his 1.98-meter frame towering over the already tall Qin Shi.

He grasped Qin Shi's hand, marking a perfect end to this meeting.

"I am curious, as a profit-driven businessman like you, how many 'potential stocks' similar to me have you invested in? Did they ultimately give you satisfactory returns?"

Before leaving, Qin Shi suddenly asked.

Throughout this dialogue with the first-sequence heir of the Ying family, he maintained a relaxed demeanor the entire time.
