Chapter 1012: Chapter 369: Negotiations Attended Personally by the Emperor

The Emperor did not question this statement. If it were truly that easy to find just some ordinary people, he would have doubted Fan Mao’s intentions instead.

"That is, of course, no problem.

But let’s set that aside for now."

The Emperor’s projection seemed to move its hand, and after switching something off, he continued to ask:

"I hope to know, if Gemini is willing to provide everything you need, would you be able to let us have the lead on the quotas?

I mean having us, Gemini, take the lead."

Finally on track...

Bai Yi thought contentedly in her heart, noting the earlier gesture that the Emperor likely turned off the communication with the other two civilizations.

But no matter what, at least now, with the Three Great Civilizations starting to compete, they’ve already lost quite a bit of bargaining power, entering her rhythm.

At this point, there’s only a small conflict, so she can continue to fan the flames...

Bai Yi didn’t directly answer with a yes or no but instead said tactfully:

"What I need are only ’students,’ but I don’t care where the ’students’ come from.

The only requirement is a fixed recruitment ratio. For now, how about setting the ratio between the Transcendents and ordinary people at 15:1?"

This ratio is not considered high. According to the Emperor’s current expectations, even if this value is doubled, Bai Yi is confident the Emperor would accept it.

Seeing the Emperor still a bit hesitant, Bai Yi decided to continue fanning the flames:

"But if Gemini hopes to occupy more slots, then I’m afraid the recruitment can’t be entirely led by Gemini. My people must supervise during recruitment.

To ensure recruitment stability, I might need to establish a dedicated recruitment office within Gemini.

Unfortunately, there isn’t a specific organization within the academy responsible for this matter yet, so why not let my group’s organization handle it? What do you think, Your Majesty?"

Upon hearing Bai Yi’s suggestion, the Emperor initially frowned, thinking Bai Yi wanted more control during recruitment. But upon hearing the last part, his eyes brightened with a glint.

This is not supervision of recruitment, but clearly an olive branch for cooperation!

What recruitment office, handled by the subordinate business group, is this an office!

They just lost their Pharmacist, and an olive branch was extended immediately; how could they not grasp it?

Even if Fan Mao dabbles between Radiance and their Gemini, it’s still better than sharing Vilosheng with Saien!

Anyone with sense knows that although Fan Mao and Vilosheng are both Pharmacists, neither the potential future benefits nor the current benefits can be compared.

If they hadn’t missed the opportunity to connect with Fan Mao initially, why would they have sought Saien to jointly protect Vilosheng?

Ha, now it seems, Fan Mao and Radiance aren’t that close after all...

No, that’s too presumptive; perhaps Fan Mao never allied with Radiance from the beginning.

Only because Fan Mao’s base is on Radiance’s territory, they were habitually deemed close to Radiance.

But Fan Mao isn’t a Powerhouse who grew up under the Starry Sky but a Contractor!

Even reflecting on the last joint negotiations of the Three Great Civilizations, Fan Mao hadn’t shown any particular bias towards Radiance.

Adding on the olive branches Fan Mao’s been extending, it’s clear Fan Mao can be won over!

If it were the other two civilization’s leaders, they might not be this eager, but Gemini has its national circumstances.

As the leader of the civilization, the Emperor is the only one who also serves as high-level combat power.

Having strong power, he understands the role of high-level combat power clearly and recognizes the significance of the Potion production Bai Yi represents.

If they incorporate a large quantity of Fan Mao’s Potion, along with the Low-tier Transcendent training slots obtained from Fan Mao, Gemini’s middle and low-tier Transcendent development will leap forward!

Directly surpassing Saien and competing with Radiance, who promotes individual prowess!

"We certainly welcome it! If there’s anything you need, we can also provide additional support for your group’s branch establishment!

Moreover, I heard you’ve already reached a preliminary cooperation intention with our ’allies’?

I can also represent Gemini to carry out further cooperation with you!"

"Let’s talk about that later; we must first finalize the recruitment details for the academy and complete this cooperation, shouldn’t we?"

Bai Yi neither refused nor directly agreed, blurring the matter over.

Even without Bai Yi’s affirmative intention, the Emperor didn’t appear disappointed.

After all, this is the first meaningful cooperation between both parties; you can’t expect to fully capture it right from the start; a gradual deepening cooperation is necessary.

Moreover, Fan Mao’s implication is evident: want further cooperation? Then in this cooperation, comply with her requirements!

Now that preliminary cooperation has been established, he is not in a rush.

"That’s true, so let’s continue confirming the specific cooperation details first?"

"Let’s start then. My conditions are clear; I need..."

With the head of a civilization personally negotiating the terms, it’s impossible to outline the entire cooperation terms.

Five short minutes later, the rough cooperation outline was confirmed.

Perhaps to show his sincerity, the Emperor didn’t hold tight on the conditions, and generally, the terms leaned towards her.
