Chapter 31: A Collaboration With Eve
What was it like to be sold by your parents?
Lin Bai did not know before, but he did now.
He watched as his parents busied themselves with food, fruits, and tea just to receive two strangers they had never met.
He was helpless.
"You don't need to trouble yourselves, elders. I've just come to discuss a matter with your son."
Ever since the beautiful assistant dojo master entered the room, her gaze had been on Lin Bai, sizing him up.
"Go ahead and say it. We'll be the gatekeeper for this stinky brat."
Lin Bai's parents were all smiling, looking forward to the conversation.
"I'm Ji Wanyun, the assistant dojo master of Eve."
Ji Wanyun took out a name card from her bag and handed it over with both hands. "I'm going to invite your son to join our dojo for training. Not only will his tuition be free, but he'll also receive a training incentive."
Mr. Lin received the name card and glanced at it. He was instantly amazed.
Eve Dojo. They often saw them on TV.
It was said that the teachers were extremely strong, and outstanding students would receive a considerable incentive every year.
"Son, what do you say?"
Mr. Lin leaned in and suggested softly, "Not only can you cultivate, but you can also get money. It's killing two birds with one stone. Don't miss out on such a good opportunity."
Mrs. Lin nodded as well. She also felt that this was a matter of great benefit.
When Ji Wanyun saw the parents' attitude, she could not help but be overjoyed, and the worry on her face disappeared.
However, when she saw Lin Bai's calm expression, she felt a little uncertain.
'Why is this high school student even more mature than his parents?'
"Eve Dojo. I tested my fist power there last time."
Lin Bai turned. "Miss Ji, you're here because of that, right?"
"That's right," Ji Wanyun did not try to hide anything and replied honestly, "Your fist power is amazing. I'm very eager for you to join our dojo. Of course, if you have any requests, you can tell us."
"Any request?"
Mr. Lin was immediately excited.
"That's right." Ji Wanyun smiled. "Uncle, I believe that with Eve's financial resources, it should be more than enough to satisfy the needs of a young genius."
"Unfortunately, I don't have the time."
Lin Bai's expression did not change as he calmly pointed at the suit he was wearing. "This is the elite training suit. You should know what it is. I've accepted the invitation to join the Elite Special Training Base, and I'll be there tomorrow.
"The Elite Special Training Base?"
"The Elite Special Training Base!"
Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, and Ji Wanyun said in unison.
Lin Bai's parents were full of doubts.
The latter was filled with shock and astonishment.
It was normal for Lin Bai's parents to not know where it was.
On the other hand, as the assistant dojo master of Eve, Ji Wanyun's status was almost the same as the vice principals of high schools. How could she not know?
The Elite Special Training Base was also known as the cradle of the strong.
The top students in the province were gathered there.
There were unlimited resources allocated there, the most advanced training facilities, and countless special instructors who helped in all aspects of cultivation and guidance.
The students were trained with the highest standards in the country.
It could be said that as long as they could graduate from the Elite Special Training Base, they would not even need to take the major exam. The four famous academies would make an exception and admit them!
Ji Wanyun had never expected that she would finally find a genius like Lin Bai.
In the end, she was told that he had accepted a better choice.
To tell the truth, in the face of such teaching capabilities and resources...
No matter how famous Eve was, they were only a small city-level dojo. The attraction it brought was definitely negligible.
Ji Wanyun also knew that she could not compare herself to the instructors in the Elite Special Training Base, but she did not give up.
After thinking about it, she took a step back and lowered her requirements.
"It's fine if you can't be our student."
She tucked her hair behind her ear and said in a gentle tone, "Do I… Have the honor of inviting you to be an honorary student of our dojo?"
Lin Bai thought for a while. "Honorary student?"
"Yeah, the kind that doesn't need to come to the dojo.
"As long as you're willing to let Eve use your fame to advertise," Ji Wanyun explained.
"It'll be very troublesome."
Lin Bai was a little resistant to business activities. If they tampered with the contract, would he not be trapped for the rest of his life?
Mr. Lin also stopped talking.
There were countless cases of families being destroyed because of overbearing clauses.
He did not understand business activities, and he had no way to understand them.
If he were to lose himself in the heat of the moment, there was a high chance that he would be played to death by the other party's complicated tricks.
His son was a martial artist. He was in the prime of his life and had a bright future ahead of him. There was no need for him to take this risk.
"It's no trouble at all. There are no cumbersome terms. There's only one promise I just mentioned. If you're not willing to, you can change your mind at any time."
Ji Wanyun noticed that the atmosphere was not right, so she immediately said, "As a reward, Eve can provide you with any kind of alloy weapon. In addition, I'll transfer some money to your account in advance. It'll be considered the advertising fees."
"Is it really that simple?"
Mr. Lin furrowed his eyebrows. "Are you up to no good?"
He was greedy, but he was not a fool.
"It is that simple."
Ji Wanyun was a little anxious. "Your son is so outstanding. He'll grow into a powerful expert in a short time. How could I dare to play any tricks at this time?"
Mr. Lin was still doubtful, and Mrs. Lin did not say anything.
In the end, it was Lin Bai who came forward to break the deadlock.
"I agree to it."
His eyes narrowed slightly. "I hope you won't do anything to disappoint me."
Ji Wanyun smiled. "Don't worry. Eve is a proper dojo. We won't do anything bad."
"Then... I look forward to our collaboration?"
Lin Bai extended his right hand.
"Happy collaboration."
Ji Wanyun's smile was beautiful.
As they shook hands, Lin Bai felt that her palm was soft as if it had no bones. Her skin was smooth and tender. It was a little cold but very comfortable to the touch.
It was hard to believe that this was the state of a martial artist who tempered her body and bones all year round.
After both parties signed the contract, Ji Wanyun also left.
Lin Bai muttered to himself as he watched her leave.
"I didn't expect her to also have a Grade S talent."
The reason he agreed to the other party's request was not for remuneration, nor was it to earn money to make his parents happy.
It was because of the system.
The system showed that the woman's attributes were all unknown.
Only her talent column was visible.
It was obvious that she was gifted and unimaginably powerful.
For now, Lin Bai would establish a relationship with her. It would not be too late to find an opportunity to form a contract with her when his cultivation level rose in the future.
Such a person would definitely bring much more return than Su Zi, right?
Lin Bai yawned and went upstairs to sleep.
