Chapter 7: Transaction! Who Holds the Upper Hand?

How dare a mere poor student be so arrogant

The reason is quite simple. If this soul skill causes irreparable damage to the soul type each time it is released, and after five accumulations the soul type is rendered useless, then it essentially becomes a worthless soul skill. How many people would risk their soul type for such a trivial enhancement

Upon hearing the words "generous gift," Liu Shen's eyes naturally lit up

He knows that Wang Linchi's parents specialize in soul types and soul affinities, and perhaps there are more soul techniques beyond just the soul type boiling technique

"How long will it take to apply for it?" Wang Linchi pretended to be clueless; he had realized that Liu Shen, who was accustomed to greed, was now unwilling to divulge.

This is not certain; it specifically depends on the program, Liu Shen said ambiguously

Of course, I must also thank you, Teacher Liu, for your support. Wang Linchi understood that Liu Shen was only a minor opportunist, not a major one, and therefore would weigh the pros and cons, choosing only the option that offered greater benefits

As soon as these words were spoken, a hint of gloom instantly appeared in Liu Shen's expression, realizing that he had been grasped by the other party.

Thus, the value has drastically transformed from the original diagram and book into waste

Perhaps next time, he will transition from being a teacher to a director

However, the effect is quite good, primarily due to its simplicity of use and low consumption

As long as the price that Wang Linchi requests is reasonable, Liu Shen will not deliberately try to undercut it

The amount of benefits here is relatively small; the real abundance of benefits lies in those popular majors

Liu Shen calculated in the end that the value of the five-year professional subsidy and the complete submission of the Soul Skill: Soul Type Boiling was clearly outweighed by the latter. The rewards given to him by the clan, whether in the form of tangible benefits or implicit welfare, far exceeded the five-year subsidy.

but rather a flawed version. If one were to directly cultivate and then use it, each use would accumulate a permanent injury, and this permanent injury would become increasingly severe with the number of uses. According to his estimation, a maximum of five accumulations would be enough to render the soul type useless

And coincidentally, this is precisely in his interest

However, that thing... Liu Shen was thinking about taking advantage of the situation, first squeezing the other party dry, as for the subsidies? Dream on, anyway, he had already obtained the items, and he had noted down the content. When the time comes, he could just keep saying that he was going through the procedures.

After Liu Shen finished speaking, his heart was also bleeding; this was all a loss

In the end, I could only grit my teeth and say, "At most three days, I will be able to help you, Xiao Wang, secure the subsidy application. I hope you won't forget your generous reward by then"

However, he just feels unwell, and even thinks to himself, why not just take advantage of it for free

Cough, I will help to urge this matter along. It is not that I am coveting your generous gift; rather, it is mainly because you and I share a bond of friendship.

"No one has claimed it yet, but the procedures will take quite some time." Liu Shen was displeased; he initially thought that a sum of around 1,000 to 1,800 yuan would suffice, but he did not expect the amount to be so high.

As for why it was put up for sale, he is also aware that it is simply because Wang Linchi has spent all his money and can no longer make ends meet. Otherwise, how could it be sold?

The soul seed left by my parents is of no use to me, so I was thinking of asking for your assistance with it

Consuming 100 points of mental energy can enhance the soul type by 10%, and the damage inflicted is greater. Originally, it could recover within 24 hours, but now using it once requires 48 hours to restore the cracks in the soul type. If it is used without recovery, it can be used continuously up to three times at most, after which the soul type will be rendered useless

However, it is necessary to first appease Wang Linchi, as he naturally understands that one should not exhaust the resources of a lake while fishing

Fortunately, he quickly reined himself in and then said: "Xiao Wang, is it not a bit inappropriate to exchange a partial soul skill for assistance?"

Please, Teacher Liu, I would greatly appreciate your assistance. If this matter is successful, I will have a generous gift to present.

Even his son would enjoy a higher status within the clan

Wang Linchi is indeed able to apply on his own, but the application process may not be completed by the time he graduates

He did not expect Wang Linchi's appetite to be greater than he had imagined, nor did he anticipate that he actually wanted this subsidy

Having said that, Wang Linchi stood up and left, not even taking the paper that recorded the boiling of the soul seeds

As a teacher at Qinghe College, the monthly salary is only a little over 1,000, but other aspects are much more abundant

Indeed, this sum of money cannot purchase such an extraordinary soul skill. With this soul skill, he will be able to gain even more. Furthermore, after Wang Linchi's departure, this subsidy will still belong to him, allowing him to receive it for a few more years at most

This will take some time, after all, I still need to go back and look for it. I saw in the diary that the soul seed boiling has a latter half. If this latter half is not used and it is applied directly, it will cause irreversible permanent damage to the soul seed each time, and it can only be used a maximum of five times at most said Wang Linchi casually

"Hahaha, Xiao Wang, you are truly polite." Liu Shen was quite pleased to hear this. Indeed, he did not come empty-handed when seeking his help; he was certainly perceptive. This soul skill, which he had no use for himself, could be offered to the clan. Without saying much, it would not be a problem for him to elevate his position a little.

Liu Shen's eyes also involuntarily narrowed

Therefore, as long as it is sold off, it will amount to one hundred thousand yuan in a year, which is also a significant figure for Liu Shen

However, the reality is that these subsidies do not reach others; they are mostly divided among a select few

For Wang Linchi, a score of one hundred is considered high because he lacks the soul refining method and the corresponding resources for m. hetushucomcom cultivation; otherwise, it would not be regarded as high.

Wang Linchi also smiled and said, "Indeed, it is not very good, so I will not change it. I will come to you, Teacher Liu, to exchange it when I find the remaining parts next time."

This soul skill is surprisingly powerful, but unfortunately, it can only be used by soul types of excellent and ordinary levels. Liu Shen's expression showed a hint of astonishment

There are indeed subsidies for soul types and soul affinities, available for all specialties, even for the most obscure ones. This is a regulation set by the Great Capital of the Heavenly City.

Do you really think he has no way to handle it? What he provided is not the complete version

Theoretically, the excellent-grade soul types that are distributed can only be used for research purposes and cannot be utilized for other applications; of course, this is merely theoretical

Exactly, it is low in consumption

I have heard that our college seems to have research grants. Teacher, do you think no one in my major has applied for them? Wang Linchi did not beat around the bush but spoke directly.

This is not a small expense, as the current professional subsidy is at the lowest level due to the inability to achieve sufficient results. It amounts to one hundred excellent-grade soul types and one thousand yuan per year

After a month, Wang Linchi successfully completed the Soul Skill: Soul Seed Boiling, but the effect is far from satisfactory.
