144: Chapter 144 Then let's order two.

"So that's how it is. I knew 9 billion couldn't possibly be more powerful than 12.5 billion. High Grade is still too expensive. Just use the 9 billion I gave you previously to buy the Low Grade one."

The High Grade True God Spirit Puppet was good, but the price was just too high. After understanding the authority of an Intermediate God, Lin Xiao urgently needed a sense of security.

They say ignorance is bliss; he hadn't felt much before he knew about the authority of an Intermediate God. Now that he knew, he was terrified that a whisper from some Intermediate God might ring out from some corner in the next moment.

This was simply a nightmare!

Although the 9 billion True God Spirit Puppet couldn't kill enemies, it should be enough for self-defense. It wouldn't be too late to consider a High Grade True God Spirit Puppet later when he had more divine power points on hand.

"Previously, this subordinate told Master that I actually took some kickbacks while purchasing these resources on your behalf. The Low Grade [True God Spirit Puppet] actually only costs 8 billion..."

After sending the message, Magistrate Mei Fang felt a surge of anxiety. At the same time, he cursed himself internally for being so bold before.

It would have been one thing to skim three or five hundred million, but how could he have thought of skimming one billion...

After reading this message, Lin Xiao couldn't help but wince. Although he knew the other party was taking kickbacks, wasn't this a bit too much?

However, thinking about how this item was several times cheaper than outside, he felt relieved. If someone had this ability, they deserved to take that kickback.

"Didn't I say, let the past be the past. You can keep that extra billion for yourself; strive to improve your strength as soon as possible.

As for your Second-order Deity subordinates, I will give them 100,000 divine power points each per day. If they lack any High Grade Materials, tell me first; if I have them on hand, we can save the trouble of buying them.

As for the resources to build the divine temple, we'll see how things go later..."

Seventy percent liberation was clearly not what Lin Xiao wanted. Since they had already signed a Death Contract, he naturally wouldn't be stingy with some resources; it would be best to get an Intermediate God with ninety percent or even complete liberation.

In fact, this could be considered an attempt by Lin Xiao to see what Materials should be used to build the divine temple to make it perfect enough.

After all, he would also ascend to Intermediate God later, so naturally, the more perfect and powerful, the better. After all, how did that saying go?

Any problem that can be solved with money (divine power points) is not a problem!

If it can be bought with divine power points, that's naturally best. If it really can't be bought, then he would go and swindle! He would figure out who had this stuff in their Divine Kingdom and then find a way to make them sign an employee contract with him.

Even if it costs millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions in resources every day, as long as it's worth the price, he would swindle to get the best!

Seeing this reply from Lin Xiao, even though there were over 10 billion divine power points in cash (the 8 billion for the spirit puppet) in the Divine Kingdom now, Magistrate Mei Fang still felt a sense of suffocation.

Is this the boldness of a disciple from a great Family?

Giving Second-order Deity subordinates 100,000 divine power points in resources every day for improvement? This is just too lavish!

"Master, absolutely not! What virtue or ability do they have? Even 100,000 divine power points per month would be a huge favor to them. How can you give them 100,000 per day? This must not be done!"

Seeing the other party's refusal, Lin Xiao slapped his forehead, revealing an annoyed expression. How could he have forgotten about him? He had only been thinking about the 1 billion divine power points he gave earlier and forgot to issue the daily salary.

"I almost forgot about you. I don't really understand the situation of a Third-order Deity. Is 1 million divine power points per day enough for you?"

Ah? Who? Me? Is one million divine power points per day enough?

Magistrate Mei Fang recognized every character in Lin Xiao's reply, but when put together, he suddenly found that he didn't quite recognize them anymore?

What does "Is one million divine power points per day enough" mean? Just how rich is a disciple from a great Family to be able to ask such a question!

He had only one thought at this moment: I joined too late! If only he had known, he should have pledged allegiance the first time he met Master!

"Enough! It's more than enough! No, what this subordinate means is that it must not be done! This subordinate has only just joined Master's command and hasn't made a single contribution; how can I dare to accept such a generous reward?

How about Master gives this subordinate some time? I will go find those people from the Chen Family to talk in a while. Didn't Master want to recruit people before?

This subordinate will go and ask for them personally this time! How many Deity subordinates does Master need? Five thousand? Ten thousand? Right, why not just recruit all the Divine Guards in the county as well.

Anyway, they are currently receiving resources from the divine temple every day, and there are also those Third-order principals. This subordinate can also go and do some work..."

At this moment, Magistrate Mei Fang wished he could brand the entire county with Master's Slave Mark. Anyway, Master's divine temple was issuing resources every day.

They've already taken the divine power points, so what's wrong with a Slave Mark?

Even internally, Magistrate Mei Fang was secretly disdainful: It's truly too cheap for these people; I don't know why Master is so keen on recruiting subordinates.

Watching the magistrate, who wanted to package the entire county for him in just a sentence or two, Lin Xiao quickly spoke up to stop the other party's delusional thoughts.

"Stop, stop! You must absolutely not act recklessly. Externally, we are still to address each other as uncle and nephew. After all, your status is still useful; don't let it be changed because of this matter.

As for those Families, don't worry about them; I have my own plans. When there is something I really need your help with, I naturally won't stand on ceremony with you.

As for the daily salary for you and your subordinates, since I've given it, it's yours. All my subordinates have such a daily salary; yours is not a special case, so don't overthink it."

Every subordinate has one? He wasn't the most special one?

After figuring this out, Magistrate Mei Fang felt a little disappointed. However, he quickly cheered up; Master just said his status was very useful!

And it wouldn't be long before he had the chance to become an Intermediate God. By then, as the first Intermediate God under Master's command, he would definitely be the most special one!

"Since Master has arrangements, this subordinate won't meddle to avoid ruining Master's plans. This subordinate will apologize to Master first; in the future, when there are outsiders present, I will dare to pretend."

Seeing that things were mostly settled, Lin Xiao always felt like he had forgotten something. After carefully reading the chat messages for a while, he finally remembered.

"I forgot because you interrupted me just now. About how long will it take for this [True God Spirit Puppet] to arrive?"

After seeing this question, Magistrate Mei Fang couldn't help but slap his own thigh hard. How could he have forgotten Master's previous question? It was simply too inexcusable!

"It is this subordinate's dereliction of duty to make Master ask again. Although it is only a Low Grade [True God Spirit Puppet], it needs to be pre-ordered when purchasing.

Pay 4 billion divine power points as a deposit, and it will arrive within a week at the latest. Just pay the remaining 4 billion when it arrives. If the final payment cannot be made then,

not only will the spirit puppet not be given, but even the deposit will be completely confiscated."

Hearing that it would take a whole week, Lin Xiao couldn't help but pat his forehead. A mistake; if he had known, he should have ordered it earlier.

Fortunately, it wasn't too late to know now, so he immediately sent a message to Magistrate Mei Fang.

"In that case, just order two for 8 billion. I will transfer the remaining 8 billion to you in a week."

Since he couldn't afford High Grade spirit puppets for the time being, he would just buy more Low Grade spirit puppets. He would make up for quality with quantity, and later, if he couldn't use them, he could give them to his subordinates.

If his subordinates couldn't use them, they could give them to their relatives, friends, Juniors, or Subordinate Deities. Either way, it wouldn't be a loss no matter how you calculate it.
