162: Chapter 162 The Sixth Department's Attitude, 5 Million Civilization Points as Compensation!
"Sister Lan, I want to borrow some civilization points from each department. Could you help me contact the managers of each department? Well, I'll handle the Commercial Department myself."
Early in the morning, as soon as Fang Zhuo returned to his residence, he called Sister Lan.
"About how much do you need?"
"2 to 3 million."
This amount of civilization points is not something many Transcendent Martial Artists can come up with, but for Flying Martial Artists and the six core departments of the group, it is not too much.
If successfully borrowed, let's count it as 15 million points, returned via Shi Wei, that would be 240 million civilization points. Added to the 10 million remaining on hand, that's a total of 250 million!
Thinking about it, the speed of condensing the 'Life Core' should be much faster.
"Okay."
On the video call, Sister Lan's expression was not very good. She looked thoughtful for a long time before saying: "However... Fang Zhuo, I must tell you first, except for the Supervision Department and the Commercial Department, the other four departments might not give you Face at this juncture."
"Why?"
Fang Zhuo thought for a moment and asked back: "Because the High-Civilization Gravity Chamber is suspended from use?"
"Exactly."
Sister Lan sighed: "Although I don't know what the group's Cosmic Martial Artists are thinking, perhaps there is a deeper meaning behind it, but since there has been no explanation, everyone has accumulated deep grievances. The group's Geniuses now have some complaints about Wang Jinhua and you."
"Then what do you think, Sister Lan?"
Fang Zhuo said calmly.
He didn't really care about the opinions of other Geniuses in the group; after all, most of them were strangers he had never even met.
He was now more concerned about how his acquaintances in the various departments and the Flying Martial Artists would view this matter.
"The group's Cosmic Martial Artists, the directors, will not excessively favor any Genius. Doing this might be to entrust some important task to Wang Jinhua and you."
"Who knows, maybe you will have to fight against the Geniuses of other civilizations?"
Sister Lan turned her big eyes and smiled.
"This is also the view of the various department managers and the Flying Martial Artists, but while we understand, there are always some who do not."
"You should be mentally prepared when you return to the group later."
"Okay."
Fang Zhuo nodded, not lingering on this topic, and switched to: "I'll leave the matter of borrowing civilization points from the other departments to you, Sister Lan."
"I'll go talk to Manager Tang Tao first."
"You are welcome, I will try my best." Sister Lan said: "In any case, our Supervision Department will lend you 3 million points; Manager Jiang has already approved it."
"Thank you."
Fang Zhuo smiled, hung up the call with Sister Lan, and quickly dialed Manager Tang Tao of the Commercial Department.
"Fang Zhuo?"
"Manager Tang."
On the video, Manager Tang Tao had a hint of joy on his Face.
Originally, more than half a year ago at the Ocean Gathering, he had intended to talk to Fang Zhuo about commercial advertising cooperation, wanting to take the opportunity to shoot some promotional short films for the group on West Sea Island.
But both Wang Jinhua and Fang Zhuo insisted on returning to the group that day.
Afterward, Fang Zhuo remained immersed in Cultivation, and not long after, he even went to New Moon to close-door Cultivate at the New Moon Group's Martial Arts Arena.
This commercial advertising matter had been shelved ever since.
"Are you free now? How about the consideration of what we talked about last time?" Manager Tang Tao asked with a smile.
"Manager Tang, I am truly sorry. I have been busy before. There was nothing I could do back on West Sea Island; I had gained insights within the Thunder Fire Small World and had to seize the time to Cultivate."
Fang Zhuo's attitude was sincere.
Manager Tang Tao quickly stopped him: "No need to worry, for us Martial Artists, Cultivation is naturally the top priority."
"Regarding the promotional short film you mentioned before, if you have time this month, you can arrange for people to come to New Moon and shoot it here."
"Okay, of course I have time. I will arrange for people to go there right away!"
Manager Tang Tao agreed without hesitation.
After the Ocean Gathering ended, following half a year of discussion, Fang Zhuo's title as the strongest Transcendent was even more resounding than when he reached the top at the end of March.
Fang Zhuo's own background is just a Martial Arts Junior College, but with his marketing methods, with a little operation, he could already recapture a lot of the martial arts advertising market.
"As for the advertising revenue, there are profit-sharing, guaranteed, and buyout options. I have given you the plans. Have you decided which one to choose?"
Manager Tang Tao asked with a chuckle: "If you have other Cultivation resource needs, you can also bring them up now, and I will try my best to arrange them for you."
"Manager Tang, if it's a buyout, settled in civilization points, how much can your department give?"
Fang Zhuo was crisp and decisive.
The three advertising revenue models provided by the Commercial Department, profit-sharing might yield the highest returns in the long run.
But it would take ten, twenty, or even longer, which for him was far inferior to getting a large sum at once to fully improve in the present.
"5 million points!"
Manager Tang Tao gritted his teeth and said.
This amount is not low. Even for himself, wanting to take out so much at once would be a bit damaging to his foundation, and his Cultivation would be slightly affected.
But the Commercial Department has its own operating funds, so he doesn't have to pay it all himself.
"Okay."
Fang Zhuo could see Manager Tang Tao's sincerity; this asking price was indeed not low.
And for him, it was just cooperating to shoot a few short promotional films, mainly narrating his own growth experience, and cooperating to recite the Starry Sky Group's advertising slogan.
With these 5 million civilization points, returned via Shi Wei, the 100 million civilization points needed to condense the High-level Life Core were officially gathered.
...
One week later.
Bai Shiwei and Fang Zhuo walked hand in hand, stepping on the delicate and clean beach, with the deep starry sky and sea behind them.
"Mr. Fang Zhuo, Ms. Bai, you can raise your hands a little bit."
"Ms. Bai, relax a little, yes, that's it, look at your lover, get ready to start..."
"Cut!"
The employees of the Commercial Department's photography team, carrying cameras on their shoulders, slowly walked toward Fang Zhuo and Bai Shiwei.
Fang Zhuo looked at the lens with a natural expression:
"Hello everyone, I am Fang Zhuo. I am very happy to share my martial arts Cultivation experience with you. As you can see, the reason I am making rapid progress in martial arts is all because of my wife, Bai Shiwei."
Speaking of this, Fang Zhuo raised the hand holding Bai Shiwei and aimed it at the camera.
"It is she who let me slowly transform from an immature boy into a man with responsibility, becoming a true Martial Artist...!"
"It is she who let me, from a college student, an Elementary Martial Artist, reignite my martial arts dream, move forward bravely, and Cultivate all the way to become a Transcendent Martial Artist!"
Bai Shiwei listened to Fang Zhuo's affectionate words, her Face showing a sweet smile, and two shallow dimples appeared from time to time.
She let Fang Zhuo hold one hand, while the other hand gently stroked her lower abdomen. Now five months pregnant, despite wearing loose clothing, a distinct bump could still be seen.
"Here, I call upon the audience friends who are interested in martial arts but are hesitant due to difficulties, why not get a wife first and start living your life..."
"...Sooner or later you will achieve success in martial arts and become an overnight sensation!"
After Fang Zhuo finished speaking, he felt a little guilty. It was only because he had the wife return System that he decided to start living his life...
"Okay, cut!"
The Commercial Department photographer put down the camera and said to Fang Zhuo with satisfaction and respect: "Fang Zhuo, it's really been a trouble for you and Ms. Bai these past two days."
"You're welcome."
"If you need anything else, have Manager Tang Tao contact me."
Fang Zhuo waved his hand.
Taking people's money and doing things for them, he has always been a Martial Artist with integrity.
The Commercial Department's 5 million civilization points reward, Manager Tang Tao had already transferred it to him today.
"Shi Wei."
After the Commercial Department's photography team left, Fang Zhuo looked at his pregnant wife, just as he was about to transfer the civilization points, his bracelet vibrated violently.
