139: Yin Jia's suggestions

“Sorry, I probably won’t have time to help you with your papers later. If anyone else needs me, they can come back tomorrow, no, the day after tomorrow.”

Hearing Ms. Yin Jia’s words, Liu Mengyan and Liu Mengyun both widened their eyes, feeling it was incredible.

Wu Zijin, however, showed a ‘just as I expected’ smile.

Everyone knew that Yin Jia wanted to talk to Xu Bai alone now, so they were somewhat self-aware.

Wu Zijin carried Xu Le and walked out the door with the twin sisters.

Outside the door, Liu Mengyan and Liu Mengyun didn’t go straight back. Instead, they approached Wu Zijin, wanting to get some information.

“Were you lying to us before? Bai Xiaobai’s Guild level isn’t level two.”

Liu Mengyun couldn’t help but ask, then immediately refuted herself.

“No, the badge is indeed level two. Could the badge be someone else’s? Or is he running errands for his teacher to submit a paper? Who is his teacher? Which cards Making Master is it?”

Although she knew she lost the bet, she wanted to lose with a clear understanding.

“No, he doesn’t have a teacher, and his Guild level is indeed level two. I didn’t lie to you. Also, the paper he gave Ms. Yin Jia was also written by himself.”

“Then, how could, how could…”

“You want to ask how the paper could attract so much attention from Ms. Yin Jia, right? I can only say that there are indeed geniuses in this world. Perhaps next time, his Guild level will surpass ours.”

Hearing Wu Bai’s explanation, Liu Mengyan and Liu Mengyun thought about it carefully and could only accept it.

They just hadn’t reacted for a while; they weren’t the kind of people who couldn’t stand others being better than them. At this point, they became curious about the content of the paper Bai Xiaobai wrote.

“You two, you’re not being sore losers, are you?”

Wu Zijin provocatively spoke out without much tact.

“Who’s a sore loser? We’re just curious.”

Liu Mengyun looked at Wu Zijin with her big eyes, wanting him to reveal something.

“No, no, this still needs to be kept secret for now. You’ll know when the paper comes out.”

Wu Zijin didn’t directly reveal the paper to them. Instead, he thought that Xu Bai, as the person in charge, would tell them specifically when the time came, as Xu Bai was the backbone of the research institute.

“Okay, a bet is a bet. If we’re in the same research group later, we’ll listen to you for a year.”

After saying that, Liu Mengyan saw that there was nothing left for them to do, so she turned around directly and walked away, bidding farewell to Wu Zijin.

Liu Mengyun saw her sister leave. Although her heart was still itching like a cat’s paws, she stomped her foot and followed, not asking any more questions.

Looking at the backs of the two sisters, Wu Zijin broke into a bright smile.

Today was truly a good day. He wouldn’t have to worry about experiment funding later, would he? He could buy whatever he wanted at the commercial street, right?

The more he thought about it, the happier Wu Zijin became.

Xu Le looked at Little Wu Gege next to him, smiling foolishly, and started smiling with him… On the other side, Ms. Yin Jia was using the electric fan and electric lamp that Xu Bai had taken out of his bag.

Looking at the electric fan constantly blowing in front of her, Yin Jia confirmed that she had just checked it. This was indeed powered by the dry battery, not by mechanical gears.

Then there was the electric lamp. With a push of the button, the light came on. It had two settings for different brightness. With this, nights could be like days.

Listening to Xu Bai describe the usage time and production cost of this dry battery, Yin Jia felt that electric power was really good.

“Tell me your thoughts. Your second paper surely isn’t meant to be published directly, right?”

Yin Jia’s gray pupils looked into Xu Bai’s eyes, as if she could see into Xu Bai’s heart through them.

“Yes, I want to cooperate with the Card Maker Guild and the Tianlong Republic. I can’t protect it alone, and I want to continue my research, so I don’t have the energy to manage it.”

Xu Bai didn’t beat around the bush and directly stated his thoughts.

Hearing Xu Bai say this, Ms. Yin Jia was very happy. The Card Maker Guild was like her home.

This new energy, if the Card Maker Guild could cooperate in promoting it, would also bring great benefits to the Guild.

However, for the young man in front of her, she felt it would be better to give him some advice, lest he fall out with the entire Guild later due to the petty actions of some people within the Guild.

After all, wherever there are people, there is a jianghu, and in the jianghu, status is still very important… “Okay, three-party cooperation is indeed the best for you, as it can ensure that your subsequent research will not be restricted by others.

What you want from the Card Maker Guild is to read the books and periodicals in the high tower, isn’t it? And you want a large amount of points, don’t you?

And your cooperation with the Tianlong Republic is for some protection, isn’t it?”

“Yes, is there anything wrong with that?” Xu Bai was a little confused.

“My suggestion is that you can also request to become an Elder of the Card Maker Guild.”

“Become an Elder of the Card Maker Guild?”

Xu Bai was a little confused; he knew nothing about the Elders.

“Yes, become an Elder of the Card Maker Guild. After becoming an Elder, you will have priority for materials, and Spirit Nurturing Fruits will be distributed every month, which can increase your spiritual power.

Spiritual power plays a significant role in your advancement to an eight-star Card Maker later on. If your spiritual power is too low, you cannot create more complex cardss.

As an Elder, you also have priority for tasks, and you don’t need to perform some of the Guild’s obligations.

You should know that if you are not an Elder, other Elders can issue mandatory tasks. Although they are not too dangerous, they will waste your time.

At the same time, as an Elder, you don’t need points to view various materials and can even see some confidential documents.

Cooperation will indeed give you a certain amount of Guild points, but your Guild level will rise to a maximum of level 7, and it will still take some time after that.”

“I haven’t heard any of this.”

Hearing what Xu Bai said, Yin Jia smiled. Of course, he wouldn’t have heard of it; his time in the Guild was too short.

“Mainly, none of us expected you to achieve such significant research results so quickly. From what you wrote in your paper, it should be published under the name ‘Bai Xiaobai,’ different from the previous name.”

“Yes.”

“Now that we’ve discussed the Card Maker Guild, let’s talk about the demands you need to make when negotiating with the Tianlong Republic later.

You must demand the right to mobilize the army.

And…”

…After discussing some more content regarding the Guild’s demands, Yin Jia made arrangements.

“Alright, please ask Wu Zijin outside to call Elder Lu, the administrator of our Z Province Card Maker branch. I’ll write a letter to the officials there and ask them to send someone over.”

“Okay.”
