246: A surprise

Lu Huanshan didn't want to continue arguing about the handling fees.

"There's no need to discuss the staff's hard-earned fees; it's not much."

"The focus is on the Martial Arts Charger's labor fee," Lu Huanshan said in a deep voice. "That guy told me that charging a Saint-Grade Martial Arts, due to different Martial Arts Charger levels and varying wear and tear, averages out to about ten thousand per copy."

"As you know, the content of your Martial Arts is truly extensive. This is considered a special Martial Arts, and by rights, we should charge fifteen thousand."

"But its original retail price was only twelve thousand."

"So, let's just make it eleven thousand for you."

At this moment, Xiao Fan suddenly asked, "How many Martial Arts Chargers are there in the entire Shanhai Pass?"

Lu Huanshan frowned, not expecting Xiao Fan to ask this question.

"Only two hundred, after all, Martial Arts Chargers require very high talent."

Xiao Fan nodded, then said, "Ten thousand five hundred."

This number far exceeded Lu Huanshan's expectations. He frowned, suddenly becoming serious.

Because he had already prepared himself for Xiao Fan to bargain down to nine thousand.

But he gave up? Didn't bargain?

Why?

"Are you sure? You'll only earn a little over six hundred from this one," Lu Huanshan said in a deep voice.

"I'm sure. Where's the contract? Let's just sign it," Xiao Fan said indifferently.

Lu Huanshan frowned and took out the contract.

Xiao Fan signed it without any hesitation, so quickly that Lu Huanshan could hardly believe it was Xiao Fan.

"Don't you like money very much?" Lu Huanshan's brows were tightly furrowed; he was no longer pretending to be foolish.

"Yes, what about it?" Xiao Fan said with a smile, pushing the contract back to Lu Huanshan.

Looking at that smile, Lu Huanshan understood everything, because that same smile had also appeared on the faces of those who sacrificed themselves for the greater good; it was identical.

Everyone in the Eighth Military District had seen the information in the Super God Class.

Among them, Xi He had the least sense of belonging to the Human Race.

Next was Xiao Fan; he was an absolute egoist, and even if he valued loyalty and righteousness, it wasn't the Human Race's camaraderie, but only for those around him.

But now, it seemed that what was written in that information was extremely absurd.

Lu Huanshan finally smiled, took the contract, and left.

He didn't even say a word of thanks; only the sound of the door closing was heard.

Because there was no need to say it.

The soldiers at the border always expressed their true feelings through action, not words, which always seemed a bit hypocritical.

Xiao Fan himself was even more indifferent to the thoughts of others.

He had always been like this; what he did and why he did it, he didn't need to explain to others. Whether he received praise or malice, he didn't care; everything was from his heart.

Until half an hour later.

He opened his Merit Mall.

The balance in the upper right corner suddenly changed from zero to two million.

In his personal profile information, there was a new message.

"Lu Huanshan transferred one million to you."

It wasn't over yet; Xiao Fan also saw that the prices of all Martial Arts in his mall were uniformly discounted by thirty percent.

Sitting in his room, Xiao Fan silently said, "Thank you."

Suddenly, he had a new understanding of the greater good.

The greater good could build bridges between people.

It didn't require any life-and-death friendship, any promises, or any camaraderie.

As long as they shared a common greater good, two complete strangers could trust each other.

But... he just thought about it and that was it.

A smile appeared on Xiao Fan's face.

How could he not be happy with money?

No need to hesitate, the Myth-Grade Martial Arts needed for the next Realm, the God-Demon Scripture, the Divine-Grade Meridians, and the Eternal Life Art, all three were maxed out.

Sitting in his office, Lu Huanshan's expression stiffened when he saw the sudden task pop up: "This guy is really impolite."

"Charging Myth-Grade Martial Arts, and three of them? This is going to kill me!"

"Wait..."

"He also bought twenty more Dominator-Grade Martial Arts that enhance the Physical Body?"

"And twenty more Dominator-Grade Martial Arts that enhance the Dao?"

"What is he doing? Is he doing wholesale? Did that one million just run out?"

"I shouldn't have given him so much money!"

"Damn it!"

Lu Huanshan's face was covered in black lines.

But what about Xiao Fan?

He was happily walking towards the collection point.

Cultivating Martial Arts had to be done in specific locations, and after completing the Cultivation, the supplier would directly retrieve the Martial Arts.

Because if they were taken out, circulated externally, or even fell into the hands of other races, other races might modify their Martial Arts into their own!

So, it could only be done this way: "I'll watch you Cultivate!"

From a tall building, Lu Huanshan watched Xiao Fan walking towards the Martial Arts Cultivation area below, always feeling that he was a bit of a petty person getting his way!

He always felt a bit foolish, that he had given too much money!

His heart was heavy!

Lu Huanshan wanted to cry.

At the same time, Xiao Fan's heart was filled with anticipation. With these fifty Dominator-Grade enhancement Martial Arts, he would soon enter the first stage of Dominator.

He wanted to know what kind of improvement he would gain.

In fact, when his Soaring Sky and Earth Evasion Art completely became an internal Martial Arts, Xiao Fan knew that improving his talent was already a very simple matter.

Because from now on, he would be completely financially free.

But the key was the later stages: the fourth, fifth, and sixth stages.

Quasi-Divine-Grade, Divine-Grade, and Myth-Grade enhancement series.

The Martial Arts in the Merit Mall were more numerous and comprehensive than those in the Super God Class; it could be said to encompass all the general Martial Arts of the Human Race.

But even so, there were only thirty-one Quasi-Divine-Grade enhancement Martial Arts!

Only twenty-two Divine-Grade ones!

And only twelve Myth-Grade ones!

At first, Xiao Fan also found it outrageous and unbelievable.

Such a vast Human Race, after a thousand years, only had so few Martial Arts?

Later, he thought carefully and understood.

Because people didn't need so many enhancement Martial Arts!

Compared to enhancement Martial Arts, people needed more combat Martial Arts, healing Martial Arts, and auxiliary Martial Arts!

No one else was like Xiao Fan, able to use enhancement Martial Arts to advance their talent.

Enhancement Martial Arts themselves were also special; the more one learned, the worse the effect, so no one pursued quantity. Those with lower Realms learned a few more, while those with higher Realms learned one or two Myth-Grade ones!

Moreover, enhancement Martial Arts only had two main categories: elemental and Physical Body.

Currently, Myth-Grade enhancement Martial Arts already covered these two major categories. Learning one or two reached the limit, so having more available was meaningless, and people couldn't learn them anyway.

It was better to strengthen one's combat Martial Arts, which itself was a form of combat power enhancement!

In short, the enhancement Martial Arts within the Human Race were already saturated; more were not needed, and they were completely sufficient, so no one researched them anymore.

However, Xiao Fan didn't need to think about such distant matters for now.

Let's first see what effect completely entering the first stage of Dominator would have!

Standing in the Martial Arts Cultivation ground, Xiao Fan scanned the Martial Arts before him with a glance; all of them were directly recorded and automatically Cultivated.

But there was no longer the voice of the "System" in his mind, only that familiar feeling was present.

Finally, Xiao Fan didn't dare to leave directly and decided to stay a bit longer, as comprehending forty Martial Arts so quickly was still too abnormal.
