Divine-grade Evolution: God! My Gold Fish Is A Dragon! - Chapter 27
Chapter 27 Legal Exploitation
The other person who walked in with Xu Shan had a strange expression on his face when he heard Ye Haoran calling the latter Brother Xu again and again.
He had not expected that Xu Shan, who had always been incomparably strict, would have such a side to him when it came to
socializing.
“Cough…”
||
Xu Shan coughed softly to ease the awkwardness when he felt the peculiar gaze
of the other person.
“Ye Haoran, we’re here to talk about a collaboration. It’s mainly about your improved strength potion.”
As Xu Shan spoke, he pointed to the person beside him and introduced, “This is Wang Baowen, the vice president of Beitong National Pharmaceutical Corporation.”
“Nice to meet you!’
Ye Haoran naturally picked up the teapot from the table and poured a cup of tea for Wang Baowen. Then, he filled his own cup and drank from it.
Wang Baowen was a little surprised. This young man made it seem like he was the guest here.
Casting aside this thought, Wang Baowen took out a contract from the folder in his hand and said, “This is the contract. Please take a look.”
Ye Haoran sipped his tea with one hand and started flipping through the contract with the other.
He read, “Beitong National Pharmaceutical Corporation will obtain the right to sell all the improved strength potions under the
guarantee of the Spirit Bureau. The
corporation will sell them in limited
quantities. Buyers will need to register their legal name when making purchases.
He continued, “The revenue received will be divided. Ye Haoran will get 10% of the revenue.”
“Pfft!”
Ye Haoran spat out the tea in his mouth. He fell into deep thought as he looked at the profit distribution percentage written in black and white on the contract.
After a while, Ye Haoran looked at Xu Shan with a dumbfounded expression.
“Is there a mistake in the division of profits?”
Wang Baowen took the contract and glanced
over its contents. Then, he handed the contract back and said, “Nope. This is the proposed division.”
Ye Haoran took a deep breath and calmed himself down. He then said, “Can we do 80:20
instead?”
Wang Baoshan was taken aback. After thinking for a moment, he slowly said, “If
Mr. Ye wants to take 20%, you might need to give up some other contractual interests.”
“No, I’m saying I get 80% and you guys get 20%,” Ye Haoran said with a serious look.
Wang Baoshan was shocked to his core. Seeing that Ye Haoran was about to stir up trouble again, Xu Shan threw a pen over. He said, “It’s up to you to decide whether you want to sign it or not. This is the only way if you want to sell it through formal channels. Of course, if you insist on producing and selling it yourself, I have no objections.” Ye Haoran yelled, “I’ll sign it over my dead body. I won’t sign it even if I’m beaten to death. You guys are too much! I’ll sell it
myself!”
He threw the contract aside, kicked the door open, and was ready to leave.
At that moment, options suddenly appeared in front of him:
[Option 1: Turn around and leave without signing the contract. Reward: You will receive a low-level vicious beast inner core.]
[Option 2: Show off your strength and fight
with Xu Shan later to force a higher share. Reward: You will receive a pair of shiny silver
handcuffs. (They will be automatically equipped after you obtain them.)]
[Option 3: Turn around and say to Xu Shan,
“Little Xu, don’t be so arrogant. Next time, I’ll write a contract myself and force you to sign it.” After saying these harsh words, you can sign the contract obediently. Reward: You will receive one million yuan.]
Eh? One million yuan?
Ye Haoran’s eyes brightened instantly. There
was such a good option available?
Since it was free money, he would definitely
take it!
As for the second option, he would be rewarded with a pair of handcuffs that would automatically be equipped. Ha! What a joke.
After silently choosing the third option, Ye Haoran cleared his throat and said arrogantly,
“Little Xu, don’t be so arrogant. Next time,
I’ll write a contract myself and force you to sign it.”
Xu Shan narrowed his eyes. Then, he scoffed, “Are you high?”
With a dash, Xu Shan appeared in front of Ye
Haoran and stared at him as if he was looking at an idiot. With a snap of his fingers, a black eagle appeared at the side.
“I’ll let you get as high as you want!”
Ye Haoran swallowed.
On the rooftop of the building, Ye Haoran
screamed, “This is murder! F*ck! Put me down!”
“I was wrong! I’ll sign it, okay?” High up in the sky, a huge black eagle was
gliding with a human figure in its grasp. A series of shrill screams could be heard. Half an hour later, the black eagle returned to
the rooftop, still unsatisfied. It put down Ye Haoran, who was trembling from head to toe. He really wanted to cry but had no tears. According to the choice, he should have
admitted defeat after saying those harsh words.
However, before he could open his mouth, he was taken into the air by the black eagle. “I’ll sign it right away!”
Ye Haoran pounced on the contract, picked up
a pen, and quickly signed his name. Although he didn’t know why his share was so low, the system’s option reward was clearly hinting him to sign the contract. He trusted the system unconditionally.
Xu Shan nodded in satisfaction and said, “You
should be content. Your potion is a dangerous item. It can’t enter the market without the country’s permission. Moreover, you’re only providing the formula. You don’t have to
worry about the raw materials and the preparation of the potion. All you do is get paid. This percentage share is quite generous. And I’m sure you didn’t see the last page of
the contract. That’s where your biggest profit lies.” Ye Haoran was stunned for a moment. Then, he picked up the contract and turned to the last page.
His eyes widened as he read the words on the
contract:
This can be considered having made a great contribution. Ye Haoran will be awarded an
additional 10% bonus marks in his college entrance examination. After confirming that what he read was correct, Ye Haoran opened his arms and
wanted to hug Xu Shan. “Brother Xu, I’m so grateful to you!”
Xu Shan felt a chill run down his spine. He hastily ordered the black eagle to stand between the two of them.
Ye Haoran saw the excitement and longing in
the black eagle’s eyes. He could not help but feel a chill run down his spine. “Brother Xu, your eagle seems a little perverted!”
Xu Shan did not have a comeback.
…
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day. Ye Haoran was involved in the first match of the
Year 2 division in the beast taming competition.
The host announced, “Let’s invite the contestants from both teams onto the stage!” Ye Haoran hummed a little tune as he walked
up to the spirit battle stage and waved at the audience.
“Oh! Oh! Ye Haoran, I love you!” “God Ye, hurry up and finish off the opponent
in three minutes!”
“You’re looking down on God ye! He will defeat his opponent in one minute.” The audience was extremely excited, waving
flags and shouting for Ye Haoran. The scene was extremely lively.
Ye Haoran’s match yesterday was very exciting. His marvelous skills and superb
control made people cheer and attract a large
wave of fans.
Moreover, most of these fans were Li Xiaoxiang’s long term fans. Once Li Xiaoxiang lost, they naturally changed camps. There were also many reporters who had
come because of his fame. They were taking pictures with cameras of all sizes. The competition’s organizing committee put the video of Ye Haoran and Li Xiaoxiang’s battle in the trailer for the final. The exciting video of the match naturally
attracted views from many people on social media.
Ye Haoran spread his arms and enjoyed the cheers. He was a little surprised. He hadn’t expected to have so many fans.
If he had known earlier, he would have considered Su Chen’s suggestion of setting up a betting corner.
Then, he would easily have money flow into
his pocket by throwing the match. Just as Ye Haoran was fantasizing about this,
a lone figure walked over from the opposite
side of the spirit battle stage. Wang Xin walked out from the dedicated passageway for the participants and listened to the deafening cheers of the audience. The corner of his mouth twitched slightly. He grumbled internally, “Dear audience members, have you noticed that I’m also a in this match? Can’t you notice my presence? And you, as a host, you’re even more overboard. Can you introduce the contestants first instead of asking for his autographs?” Wang Xin’s eyes were a little dim. The
contestant
confidence that he had just gained in the
lounge collapsed in an instant.
The moment he saw that his opponent was Ye Haoran, he knew that today’s match was over.
The Year 2 students of Beitong No. 3 High School were generally weaker this year. He was the only one left in the top 16.
For the sake of the school’s honor, Wang Xin had finally decided to participate in this competition under the pestering of his form teacher.
“Hello!”
Ye Haoran looked at Wang Xin, who was
walking up to the spirit battle stage step by step.
With a smile, Ye Haoran said, “Hello, please show some mercy during the competition later!”
Wang Xin was stunned. Ye Haoran even took
the lines out of his mouth! What was he supposed to say after Ye Haoran
said that? Should he say that they would just match while showing each
have a friendly
other some pointers?
Seeing that Wang Xin didn’t respond to his greeting, Ye Haoran didn’t say anything
more. He looked at the host instead.
The host nodded, then raised his microphone
and said, “Alright, since both teams have
taken their places, let the match officially
begin!”
The white light of the spatial skill flashed,
and only the two contestants remained on the
spirit battle stage.
Ye Haoran just stood there and looked at
Wang Xin with a smile.
Wang Xin’s scalp tingled. He closed his eyes slightly and motivated himself, “He’s not invincible. I have a chance to win!”
When he opened his eyes again, there was a
look of confidence in them.
With a wave of his hand, the Violent Earth Bear appeared beside him and roared towards
the sky.
Roar!
Ye Haoran was stunned. He thought to himself, “This guy is really good at self-hypnotizing. He makes it seem that he’s
better than me.”
He silently summoned his little goldfish, and
the aura of a Level 7 contract spirit suddenly
appeared on the stage.
On the other side, Wang Xin had already
merged with the Violent Earth Bear. He disregarded the aura emanating from his opponent and charged towards the latter with
red eyes.
He thought, “Just charge head-on! There’s no
harm in losing, and I have everything to gain
by defeating him.”
Wang Xin regained his confidence in this situation, and with blood-red energy flowing all over his body, he pounced towards Ye Haoran.
Ye Haoran did not hold back. He activated Divine Dragon Swinging Tail. The little goldfish made a dash in its tank and
swung its tail fiercely. A huge dragon tail also lashed out on the spirit battle stage.
Bang!
There was a dull impact. Wang Xin, who was
rushing over madly, was sent flying as if he had been hit by a train at high speed. Bam! Bam!
Wang Xin slammed into the protective shield
around the spirit battle stage and bounced
back from the momentum of Ye Haoran’s
attack.
The judge’s eyes flickered, but he did not
announce Wang Xin’s defeat. The rules of the competition stated that one
would only be considered to have lost if they
landed on the ground outside the spirit battle
stage.
Wang Xin was not considered as having lost since he bounced back onto the stage after hitting the protective shield.
Wang Xin, who felt like his body was about to
fall apart, opened his eyes and found that he
was still on the spirit battle stage. He almost
cried.
“Wasn’t I f*cking sent flying? Why am I still here?”
He really couldn’t fight anymore. Ye Haoran’s
skill had taken almost half of his life. The
difference in their strength was
insurmountable.
He was definitely not weak. However, Ye
Haoran was practically a god amongst insects.
Someone from the audience said, “This…Is
this considered bullying?”
“God Ye is too powerful. He can massacre
everyone in the Year 2 division!”
“I think God Ye should be in the Year 3
division. He would at least make it into the
top 10!”
“I feel that the top scorer for next year’s college entrance examination in Beitong City
has already revealed himself.”
Ye Haoran’s expression was calm. He had
roughly estimated the damage of his skill.
His spirit level was high to begin with,
leading the average contestants’ level by two
or three levels. He had a level advantage to
begin with.
Moreover, his skill level was so high. His
chain of attacks left his opponents no room to
counter.
As for yesterday’s match, he encountered a
problem because Li Xiaoxiang’s contract spirit
was too powerful.
Moreover, it was a defensive-type contract
spirit. Hence, he really couldn’t break through
its defense.
