Chapter 980 - Fiery Queen's Offer "Si-Since the Bai Family hasn't offered you anything, then allow me to offer you to join the Walkers Family. What do you want? As long as it's something that money can buy, we will give it to you." Fiery Queen said to him after pondering for a moment. "Sorry, but there's nothing I want." Yuan calmly responded. "What? That's not possible. Everyone has something they desire." "Indeed, that is true. However, what I want cannot be purchased with money." "You won't know until you try. Love, happiness, fame— anything can be bought. Tell me what you desire and the Walkers Family will do everything in its power to acquire." After a moment of silence, Yuan spoke in a calm voice, "If I say that I want the Walkers Family, will you be able to hand it over to me?" "T-That's—!" Fiery Queen was dumbfounded by Yuan's question. "What's wrong? Why are you hesitating? Didn't you say that you would give me anything? Or are you going to ask me to not be so greedy?" "I'm sorry, but I don't think we can fulfill such an unreasonable condition. Anything else but that, please." Yuan shook his head, "Sorry, but I was only joking. I don't plan on joining any Legacy Family, so you can stop asking." "Can I ask why? You would gain a lot of benefit if you joined us. Or do you plan on creating your own family?" Fiery Queen narrowed her eyes at Yuan. "I have no interest in the Legacy Ranking. As for why I don't want to join any Legacy Families… I don't want to break the current balance." He said. "I don't want to sound arrogant, but if I join any family, even the lowest ranking family, it would immediately break the balance, and I'm sure nobody wants that to happen." 'Breaking the balance…?' Both Fiery Queen and White Lotus frowned upon hearing this, as neither of them had thought about it like this until he mentioned it. 'He's right… If someone like him joins the Legacy Ranking, the family he chooses will immediately become the most powerful and influential family in the Legacy Ranking regardless of their previous rank.' White Lotus thought to herself. 'The other Legacy Families will probably work with each other to destroy such an unbalanced family. In other words, the moment he joins a Legacy Family, there will be a war…' Fiery Queen sighed.' As much as she wanted to acquire Yuan for her family, she did not want to fight with the other Legacy Families simply because they had him. After pondering for a few moments, Fiery Queen smiled and said, "Very well, I will give up on trying to recruit you. However, I have another proposal." "While it's true that the other Legacy Families won't be happy if we pay to acquire you, they won't have anything to say if you marry into our family!" She pointed at herself and said, "If you marry me, that will solve everything!" "What nonsense are you saying?!" White Lotus slammed the table, startling everyone there. "Nonsense? I think it's quite ingenious!" Fiery Queen said in a prideful tone. "Yuan, forget about her. She's a lost cause." "W-Wait! I was only joking!" Fiery Queen suddenly said. And she continued, "Here's my real proposal. Instead of asking you to join our family, I will pay for your assistance." "Can you elaborate?" Yuan asked. "Basically, I want to hire you." "And what kind of job do you want me to do?" "I'm not sure yet, but we'll probably ask for you to do something for us in Cultivation Online. Maybe even train some of our players." "If that's too much to ask, then I buy information from you instead— information about Cultivation Online." Yuan pondered about Fiery Queen's offer. 'Although I can acquire money by selling Cultivation Online treasures like last time, I will be going to the Third Heaven soon, and that will make it difficult for me to use their auction house, especially since I will be busy traveling the world.' 'However, if I can sell information about Cultivation Online, I can earn money just by telling them about my experience in Cultivation Online, which is essentially free money.' "How much are we talking about?" Yuan then asked. "That will depend on the information you give us. We will give you a fixed price for each information you give us, and then we will pay you a bonus depending on its usefulness. How does that sound?" "In other words, if my information helps you acquire treasures or other valuables, you will pay me extra?" "Exactly." Fiery Queen nodded. "Sure, I don't mind if it's just selling information." Yuan agreed. 'Yes!' Fiery Queen celebrated inwardly.𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎 "Leave your contact information with me and I will contact you later." Yuan then said. "Of course!" Fiery Queen immediately handed Yuan her business card. "Then I await your call! Thank you!" Fiery Queen left the place shortly after. As much as she wanted to linger and talk more with Yuan, she didn't want to push her luck. "If you don't mind me asking, why did you agree to working with her?" White Lotus asked him afterward. "It seemed like an easy way to earn money, so why not? If things don't work out, I can stop working with her whenever I want." Yuan said. "A-Are you, by some chance, having money problems?" She couldn't help but ask him. Yuan chuckled, "It's embarrassing to admit it, but yes, I'm actually quite broke right now. I plan on selling some treasures that I'd found in Cultivation Online in the future, though." A flicker appeared in White Lotus' eyes after hearing his words, and she quickly said, "I-If you don't mind, can you sell these treasures to my Bai Family?!" "Are you sure? You don't even know what kind of treasures they are." "We can figure these things out later!" "Sure. Once I return home, we can meet in Cultivation Online. I will show you the treasures then." Yuan nodded. "Thank you!" White Lotus said excitedly.
