Ye Ming's heart moved: "You mean, if I want to participate, I have to join a certain force?"
Yan Ruyu nodded: "Yes, because only the funding forces are eligible to participate. Of course, you can also become a funder, but unfortunately the financing has ended, and now you can only rely on other forces."
Ye Ming: "What are the rules of participation in this treasure hunting conference, do you know it?"
Yan Ruyu smiled and said, "Sister Luo knows."
Luo Bingxian said: "I met a sister at Qinglong Academy, and her family is one of the participating forces. Does the young ancestor also want to participate?"
Ye Ming said: "Eight hundred billion Martial God coins, that's a huge sum of money. I estimate that the first place's funds are at least tens of billions, right?"
Luo Bingxian: "The Treasure Hunting Conference, as the name suggests, is a group of people snatching treasures. There is no first place." Next, she introduced many situations to Ye Ming in detail.
It turns out that the rules of this treasure hunting conference are that all more than 3,000 participants must cross ten bridges at the same time. Each bridge is one hundred miles long and five miles wide. Money bags are randomly placed on it. When participants pass the bridge, they can grab it with all their strength. No matter how much they grab, it belongs to them.
Since participants can attack each other, the snatching process is quite intense, and some people may be injured or even killed. People who finally cross the bridge will gradually enter another wider bridge. Not only are there money bags on this bridge, but there are also many mechanisms set up. If anyone passing by is not careful, they may die. Moreover, they have to guard against attacks from other participants at the same time. It can be said that every step is dangerous and extremely dangerous.
After passing the second bridge, you will actually enter the treasure hunting area. The treasure hunt is set in a small world. There are magic arrays, traps, mechanisms, etc. in the small world. The level of danger is many times higher than before. In the treasure hunt, the most powerful participants will gather many followers around them, forming powerful forces one after another. There will be fierce competition between different forces, trying their best to snatch treasures from different areas.
There will be one hundred treasures placed in the treasure hunting area, all of which are priceless treasures. The cheapest treasure among them will be worth more than one billion Martial God Coins. The value is high, even as high as tens of billions of Martial God coins. These treasures are like the purse on the bridge, whoever grabs them belongs to them.
After listening to Luo Bingxian's story, Ye Ming suddenly smiled and said: "So, as long as I can grab a few treasures in the treasure hunting land, I can make a lot of money?"
Luo Bingxian: "Even if you want to participate, you have to be attached to a certain force. The majority of the harvest will go to them."
Ye Ming frowned: "Then what percentage can I get?"
"At most 30%." Luo Bingxian said, "This is a precedent. Most of them can only be divided into 10% or 20%. Whether they can be divided into 30% depends on whether that force is willing to give it."
When he heard that the share was so small, Ye Ming was immediately unhappy and said: "I fought to the death to win the treasure, but I only got such a small share?" After saying that, he shook his head repeatedly.
Luo Bingxian thought for a while and said: "In addition to sharing, there is another method called 'guaranteed'. If the guaranteed amount is one billion, you only need to hand over one billion to the other party, and you can share more with the extra money you grab. We can start at least 50%."
Ye Ming's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "This method is not bad. I can even increase the guaranteed amount several times."
Luo Bingxian was startled: "It's not as simple as you think. The guaranteed amount is generally equivalent to the amount of investment by the force. In other words, with this money, at least they will not lose money! What's more terrible is that this money You must pay in advance. If you fail in the Treasure Hunting Conference, you will not get the money back."
Ye Ming sneered: "It's really dark! The guaranteed amount is equal to their investment. If I had known this, I might as well participate in the Treasure Hunting Conference myself."
Luo Bingxian: "It's meaningless to say this, and even if you want to participate, the organizer may not allow it."
Ye Ming shook his head: "Forget it, just suffer the loss. Now I want to find a force that is willing to cooperate with me and negotiate with them on the sharing method."
Luo Bingxian thought for a while and said: "My sister at Qinglong Academy is named Lianhua. The Lian family is a high-grade silver family in the Eastern Capital. They are quite powerful. They also participated in the treasure hunt competition this time. But I heard that Lianhua It is said that the son of the Lian family who was preparing to participate in the treasure hunting competition died unexpectedly during a fight with someone. Now the Lian family is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot and is looking around for martial arts masters. "
Ye Ming smiled and said: "In that case, then cooperate with the Lian family. Bingxian, I need your help in this matter. Find Lianhua and discuss it with her."
Luo Bingxian: "Now that you have made up your mind, I will contact her as soon as possible to inquire about cooperation."
The three of them left the pool of earth spirit liquid and returned separately. Luo Bingxian immediately visited Lianhua and quickly replied to Ye Ming. Although the Lian family did not agree immediately, they made an appointment with Ye Ming to meet at the Lian family tomorrow. Ye Ming understood the caution of the Lian family. He practiced for another day and went to the Lian family alone the next day. Luo Bingxian originally wanted to accompany him, but he refused. This matter was very risky, and he didn't want to involve Luo Bingxian.
It was easy to find the Lian family as the Shankou Baiyin family in the Eastern Capital. When he came to the front of the Lian family, he saw a very old and low-key house with no archway. He did know that except for the gold family, the silver family and bronze family in the Eastern Capital were extremely low-key, and similar situations were very common.
A young man stood at the door. When he saw Ye Ming, he politely came forward and bowed to ask: "Is this your distinguished guest Mr. Ye?"
Ye Ming nodded: "Yes, I am Ye Ming. I am here to meet the eldest master of the Lian family."
The boy quickly got out of the way and said, "My master has been waiting for a long time. Mr. Ye, please come with me."
Ye Ming walked in front, and the boy followed behind to give directions. He walked through a long and winding bluestone road, passing through gardens and pavilions. The scenery along the way was unique and pleasing to the eye. Finally, he came to the hall of a tall gatehouse. There were about ten people sitting in the hall, including men and women, old and young. In the middle, a middle-aged man is sitting on the chair of the imperial master. He is calm and proud, and is dressed in official uniform.
The hall door was wide open. Ye Ming stopped under the eaves and bowed his hands to the people inside: "Ye Ming of Qinglong College, I have met the head of the Lian family."
The middle-aged man on the Grand Master's chair nodded slightly: "You're welcome, please come in." When he spoke, his man did not stand up.
Ye Ming didn't take it seriously. He walked into the hall, glanced at everyone, and said no more. The middle-aged man looked at him for a few times, his eyes full of scrutiny and suspicion. After a long time, he asked: "I heard that Lian Hua'er said that you want to compete for my Lian family in the treasure hunt competition?"
Ye Ming: "Yes."
"Hmph! Arrogant! Can anyone participate in the Treasure Hunting Conference? Why should we believe you?" At the end of the crowd, stood a young man, about nineteen or twenty years old, staring at Ye Ming and scolding .
Ye Ming glanced at him and said: "Everyone here is an expert. You will know if I have the ability or not."
The middle-aged man nodded and said: "My name is Lian Yuanji, the head of the Lian family. If you want to cooperate with the Lian family, you can. The limit is ten moves. You must first defeat my Lian family martial artist."
Defeat the martial artist in ten moves? Ye Ming said without hesitation: "Okay."
After finishing speaking, Lian Yuanji glanced at the young man who spoke and said, "Lian Bin, go down and give him a try."
Lian Bin is an eighth-level martial artist, and his strength is only slightly weaker than that of the dead Lian family member Lian Jiao. If Ye Ming can defeat him within ten moves, it means that his strength is still higher than Lian Jiao, and he can indeed fight on behalf of the Lian family.
Lian Bin reached the opposite side of Ye Ming in one step and shouted: "Fall down!" He used Lianjia Sanshou, and rarely encountered opponents in close combat.
Everyone's eyes flashed, and they saw that Lian Bin and Ye Ming were separated at the first touch. Ye Ming did not move, but he bounced away like a spring, and then lay straight on the ground. His eyes were wide open, and all the bones in his body seemed to have fallen apart, and he could not move at all.
The two of them were too fast, but they still couldn't hide it from Lian Yuanji's eyes. He clearly saw that Ye Ming just waved his five fingers casually, and several waves of force hit Lian Bin from the air. Lian Bin, an eighth-level martial artist, was knocked away like that. Not only was he seriously injured, but more than ten acupuncture points all over his body were sealed, making him unable to move.
What method is this? Lian Yuanji was taken aback, but then his face lit up, he stood up and said with a smile, "I admire your little friend's kung fu!"
Ye Ming ignored Lian Bin and said calmly: "Master Lian, you don't have to be polite. If you are willing to cooperate, we can talk about the share."
Lian Yuanji smiled heartily: "I can give you 30%."
Ye Ming shook his head: "Lian Patriarch can give a guaranteed amount and then discuss the share."
Lian Yuanji was stunned: "What? Do you want a guarantee?"
Ye Ming nodded: "Yes."
Lian Yuanji couldn't help but look at him deeply. The situation of dividing the accounts after guaranteeing the bottom line had not happened for many years, because it was not cost-effective at all, but he did not expect this young man to be willing to do this. He then asked: "Ye Xiaoyou, you have to think clearly. If you want to guarantee the bottom line, you must give me 150 million Martial God coins in advance, because our Lian family invested 150 million Martial God coins this time, and we must take it back. of."
Ye Ming did not hesitate and said: "Okay. I want to know how to divide the account after the guarantee?"
Lian Yuanji thought for a moment and said: "According to precedent, after the minimum is guaranteed, it can be divided into 50% and 50%."
Ye Ming: "If I increase the guaranteed amount to 300 million, how much can you share with me?"
Lian Yuanji was stunned. He could hardly believe his ears. 300 million guaranteed? Did you hear that right? Before he could speak, an old man said: "If it's 300 million, I can give you at least 70% of it."
Lian Yuanji also said: "Yes, I can give you 70%."
Ye Ming smiled slightly: "So, if I am willing to provide a guarantee of 500 million, I will not have to share it with you in the future?"
Lian Yuanji was taken aback and said with a serious expression: "The minimum guarantee is 500 million. My Lian family has made 350 million in vain. Of course you can get 10% of it! But little friend, you have to think clearly, you must give me 500 million in advance." Home!"
Ye Ming said: "I understand."
Lian's family was in a good mood, so of course they agreed immediately. Because even if Ye Ming doesn't die, they may not be able to earn 350 million, and they can still earn it so steadily. The two parties immediately signed a contract and spelled out the terms of cooperation.
After signing the contract, Ye Ming bowed his head and resigned because he was going to prepare the 500 million Martial God coins and hand them over to the Lian family two days later.
