Han Chu looked at Han Muye and whispered, “Tell me, what do you plan to do?”
Han Muye turned to look around and raised his hand.
A golden light blocked everyone’s senses.
Outside the golden light, everyone looked at each other.
Tan Yuan’s disappointment and uneasiness were written all over his face.
Originally, he could have obtained great benefits from this patent application trial.
Now, not only would there be no benefits, but he would also be punished.
He had even offended a genius.
The other four level nine refining masters also looked frustrated.
Even if they didn’t know what Han Muye was going to discuss with the divine-level refiner, from his just now, they knew the value of the Microscopic Eye.
They also knew that with the Microscopic Eye, Han Muye would likely soar to new heights!
“Master Han, it’s really hard to guess…” Zheng Sheng turned his head and looked at He Yangsun as he whispered.
Fortunately, the Zheng family had used He Yangsun to build a relationship with Master Han.
There was a glimmer of light in Sun Bings eyes.
He had originally come to PaG.o.da City to repay his debt.
He didn’t want to delay paying off the debts too long.
Now, he was prepared not to repay it for the time being.
With this debt hanging over him, wouldn’t he be able to get close to Master Han?
In a hall of Tianhua Academy, Tianhua City, dozens of white-bearded elders sat on high seats.
Each of them was surrounded by mysterious halos, and the badges on their chests shimmered with colorful lights.
Divine level.
Every single one of them was at the divine level.
Divine-level Armor Masters, Divine-level Puppet Masters, Divine-level Refining Masters.
In the current Galaxy Universe, without being able to activate the
Primordial-level Armors or Puppets, the combat power of divine-level experts would be greatly reduced. They would need to cooperate to demonstrate their strength.
But regardless, they were at the divine-level, and their own cultivation and control power had reached the pinnacle of this universe.
When they worked together to control Battle Puppets or Battle Armors, they possessed almost invincible combat power.
The more divine-level powerhouses a large city had and the more Primordial-level armors and puppets they controlled, the more power they had to dominate a region.
Tianhua Academy in Tianhua City was extremely powerful.
At this moment, the white-bearded old man sitting at the head of a table in the hall had a glint in his eyes.
He held a small ring in his hand.
It was none other than the Microscopic Eye crafted by Han Muye.
This thing was not difficult to craft, and it was even easier to replicate.
“This little thing has already pushed the price in some major cities to over 300 million origin coins.” The old man looked around and said in a low voice, “My
Tianhua City is a step behind.”
The divine-level powerhouses present were each holding a Microscopic Eye.
Some had gleams in their eyes, while others frowned slightly.
“The technical content of this thing is almost negligible, and it’s too easy to replicate.
“However, the rules of the Alliance of Refining Masters are still there.
Protecting the patents is also protecting all refiners.” The old man who spoke held the ring in his hand and pressed it against his eyes.
It could be replicated.
But that would violate the Alliance’s rules on protecting patents.
For divine-level powerhouses, they didn’t care about this small profit. Instead, they valued the rules of heritage more.
The higher their status, the more they cared about rules.
Because these rules were made by them, and they were also beneficiaries.
“In my Tianhua City, there are over five million refining masters with a cultivation level below level six, and less than 100,000 at level six.’
“With such a huge contrast, if this small Microscopic Eye can be changed, then this item can be said to be a revolutionary breakthrough,” a solemn middle-aged refiner said in a low voice.
On his chest was a divine-level refining master badge as well as a sage-level armor master badge.
A revolutionary breakthrough.
Not just in Tianhua City, but in other major cities as well.
Many people in the hall spoke up.
“The technical breakthrough is achieved through quant.i.tative change to achieve qualitative change,” the elder at the head of the table said with a profound look in his eyes. “When countless low-level refiners master the techniques of high-level alchemy, perhaps it can promote the development of cultivation throughout the Galaxy Universe.”
A small ring was regarded with such importance by the dean, and elevated to such a high level.
Everyone in the hall was somewhat surprised.
But they would not doubt the dean’s words.
The dean of Tianhua Academy was an existence that had come from ancient times!
“In that case, shall we invite this creative refining master to Tianhua City, to Tianhua Academy?” A puppet master wearing a green-black armor and a divine-level badge spoke loudly.
“Yes, this way Tianhua City can surpa.s.s other cities quickly.” Another divine-level refiner chimed in.
Hearing their words, someone below shook his head. “The Alliance of Refining Masters won’t let him come so easily.”
These words made many people’s expressions darken.
The dean at the head of the table waved his hand. “It’s not a matter of whether he can come or not. Many things in the world have to happen naturally. If we really let such a person come to Tianhua City, he might not be able to produce any creative designs.
“Just learning the knowledge of our Tianhua Academy will take hundreds of thousands of years. Then, he might become a knowledgeable refiner, but not necessarily with innovative patents.
“This is also the reason why it’s difficult for us in major cities to come up with creative designs despite having countless high-level cultivators.
“Our acc.u.mulation is too deep, so deep that we can’t break through.”
The dean’s gaze swept over everyone, and he seemed to want to speak again, but suddenly he stopped.
A golden stream of light landed in front of him.
Holding this stream of light, a strange expression flashed across his face.
“The patent designer has set conditions.”
Conditions?
What conditions?
Everyone was extremely curious.
“He wants exclusive manufacturing rights for the Microscopic Eye and guarantees an annual supply of 100 million pieces. “The price is 3,000 origin coins per piece.”
The dean revealed the message from the streamer.
His words instantly caused an uproar in the hall.
“100 million pieces a year. That’s not enough at all. Even a billion isn’t enough.”
“There are tens of billions of low-level refiners in cities big and small in the Galaxy Universe.
“3,000 origin coins per piece? Is he robbing us? This thing doesn’t even cost three origin coins to make. A thousand-fold profit?”
“Such pricing and exclusive rights. It’s insane. No one would agree to this.” Everyone exclaimed loudly.
However, the dean, who was sitting at the head of the table, shook his head.
His expression remained calm.
The hall gradually quieted down.
“Exclusive rights ensure benefits and provide more incentives for other patent creators. This is a good thing.
“100 million pieces a year may not be enough, but it doesn’t mean that every city, every workshop needs to immediately adopt the Microscopic Eye.
“100 million is just enough for every city to have one, but not too many, so as not to directly affect the balance of various workshop processes.
“It takes time for the workshop to change their process.
“As for pricing,” the dean’s face showed a smile, and a look of appreciation flashed in his eyes, “This young man has allocated one-third of the annual 300 billion as the Alliance’s labor fee, and entrusted the Alliance of Refining Masters with the full responsibility for selling goods.
“Another hundred billion is set aside as a fund to encourage innovation, rewarding innovation refiners every year. “He and his workshops only take 100 billion.”
100 billion isn’t too much?
It’s a lot.
Most workshops in major cities are unlikely to have such high earnings.
But now, when divided in this way, everyone felt that the owner of this patent seemed to have not gained much profit either.
Taking only one-third really wasn’t much.
“Truly brilliant…” A black-robed old man whispered.
“Tianhua City agrees.” The dean’s expression remained unchanged as he said solemnly, “Furthermore, tell him that our Tianhua Academy can cooperate with him in all aspects.
“Also, grant him the honorary t.i.tle of professor at our Tianhua Academy.
“It’s equivalent to a divine-level powerhouse.”
In PaG.o.da City, the refiners in the workshop waited for more than half a day.
But they were not impatient at all.
Their Chief was communicating with a divine- grade refiner!
Wouldn’t the longer it took, the more things they could communicate?
“Buzz!”
With a soft sound, the layer of golden light finally dissipated.
The smiling Han Muye cupped his hands at the emotional Han Chu. “From now on, I’ll rely on you to take care of things at Jujin Trading Company.”
Hearing his words, Han Chu waved his hand and said with infinite emotion, “No, 1 should be the one begging you to take care of me from now on.
“You’re the powerful protector of our Alliance..”
