Versatile Mage: I Awakened Nine Stars

Chapter 84: Here to cheat, ah no, to apply for funds

There is always a lot of rain in Yaodu.

Affected by the typhoon weather, all planes were grounded. It took another day before Xu Shen, Isha and Mo Fan arrived at the Demon City.

First, Xu Shen listened to Mu Zhuoyun’s work report.

I have to say that he didn't make a mistake. This old fox was indeed a character.

Although Xu Shen provided poor past life information, it was a miracle that the start-up 10 Trading Company was able to make stable profits in just one month using only the 404 billion principal provided by Xu Shen.

Although it is still losing money, Mu Zhuoyun is confident that if it maintains this scale and does not expand, it will be able to recover all costs and become profitable in at most half a year.

"Let's keep the scale like this for now," Xu Shen sighed helplessly.

If you do too much, you will be targeted by some big forces.

His strength is not enough to go head-to-head with some behemoths.

Maintaining this inconspicuous and profitable scale is enough for the time being.

Low-key development is the last word.

"Where is Ning Xue, how is she doing recently?"

When Mu Zhuoyun heard Xu Shen's address, his movement of pouring tea paused slightly, and then he praised calmly: "Thanks to the young master's introduction, Professor Feng has been immersed in undead magic for many years. He has very high attainments in the soul. Ning Xue is basically out of danger."

"That's good," Xu Shen joked, "The stone in Uncle Mu's heart has sunk to the bottom."

Mu Zhuoyun smiled and handed over the tea cup: "Young master, what do you think of my Ning Xue?"

"Very good, what's wrong?" Xu Shen somehow felt that the old guy Mu Zhuoyun's smile seemed to have a deep meaning.

"That's fine. When she comes back, you young people can talk more."

"Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I have something else to do today."

Xu Shen didn't mention that Mo Fan also came here. Maybe he is hanging around Mu Ningxue now. If this old man finds out, he won't jump in haste.

Lao Feng said that the budget execution progress was a little overdue, which made Zu Guangyao a little bit embarrassed.

He made an appointment with Lao Feng to go cheating together, ah no, just to explain the situation, and it would be great if they could add some extra budget.

Saying goodbye to Mu Zhuoyun, Xu Shen came to Zu Guangyao's territory first.

It was still Xiao Wang who greeted him.

This guy had a hair transplant today and almost didn't recognize him.

I am also very happy to see Xiao Wang Xu Shen. Most of the people who come to Zu Guangyao are bad old men. Every word and action must be carefully considered.

Only people of his own age like Xu Shen could talk to him.

"What have you been busy with recently?" Although he had only met him once, Xiao Wang was very familiar with him and enthusiastically led Xu Shen into the reception room.

"Eat, sleep and practice," Xu Shen said concisely and concisely: "Oh, yes, and cooperate with Professor Feng in experiments."

"Speaking of that experiment," Xiao Wang looked around and said in a low voice only when he saw no one there: "Many people in the trial were very dissatisfied with Judge Zu's decision and thought that he was deceived by Professor Feng."

"Huh? What does Professor Feng's research have to do with these people? Why are they dissatisfied?"

"This research of yours is quite special. More than [-]% of the relevant budget comes from the trial committee, and less than [-]% comes from the research committee. Why are they dissatisfied?"

Xu Shen shrugged: "Yes, it turns out that I have shared the cake with them, so I am right to be dissatisfied."

Xiao Wang sipped the hot tea and said: "Actually, I think your research is quite nonsense. What about predicting the future? It sounds like a civil science project to cheat money. Professor Feng poured tens of billions into it without blinking an eye. Who would listen?" I’ll be fine with that.”

"Pfft!" Xu Shen spit out the black tea that he had not yet swallowed: "It hit so hard! How much do you think he smashed in?!"

"Tens of billions?" Xiao Wang calmly blocked the incoming tea with water, and said inexplicably: "You are a project participant, you don't know how much you spent?"

Xu Shen's eyes widened. That's not what Old Feng said on the phone.

What only cost "a little bit"? Was that "a little bit" for him?

Even more than "[-] million points"! ! ! Feng Zhoulong also arrived after a while. His hair was dry and messy, his eyes were dark and bloodshot, and even the buttons of his clothes were misplaced.

This look startled Xiao Wang, and he quickly ran over to help the big man, fearing that something would go wrong with him due to his hard work.

Xu Shen's eyes were filled with strange color. Regardless of his acting skills for the time being, he must be impressed by Lao Feng's makeup skills.

Just this kind of makeup, no one at the master level can do it.

When Xiao Wang turned around, Feng Zhoulong winked at Xu Shen, and Xu Shen also gave a thumbs up in time.

Xiao Wang helped Feng Zhoulong sit down and asked Lao Feng repeatedly if he needed a healing mage to come over and take a look.

Old Feng was so panicked that he almost revealed his secret.

"No need, you still can't believe the physical fitness of a super mage. Not to mention not sleeping for three to five days, staying up all night for half a month is not a big problem." Xu Shen drank tea and slowly helped Feng Zhoulong out: "Brother Wang, hurry up Go report it, Professor Feng’s time is very precious.”

After listening to Xu Shen's words, Xiao Wang went to Zu Guangyao's office to report.

After a while, Zu Guangyao walked into the reception room.

He glanced at Feng Zhoulong's dress, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly. This old guy couldn't change his routine.

Sure enough, after a while, Lao Feng began to cry about poverty.

He held a thick report, and every penny was listed clearly.

Zu Guangyao also nodded in agreement.

Feng Zhoulong's eyes were smug. He had long been familiar with this kind of thing of fooling a layman.

But he didn't know that the Magic Association was aware of his tricks.

He even cooperated with his performance very carefully.

For no other reason than this, it was not the first time that he had cleverly created a scheme to obtain funds, but most of the time he would make some achievements that would benefit the Demon City Magic Association.

There is no way to do research without burning money. At least Feng Zhoulong would not squander money on meaningless things, so everyone always turned a blind eye to this.

But this time, the money was burned a bit too harshly.

With tens of billions burned in a month, even the wealthy Demon City Trial Society can no longer withstand it.

Zu Guangyao was not taken advantage of. When he suddenly wanted Feng Zhoulong to study Xu Shen's natural talent, he just thought that this kind of more "abstract, metaphysical" and theoretical thing should not cost a lot of money, even if the money was misappropriated by him for other purposes. It doesn’t hurt either.

However, Feng Zhoulong gave him a "surprise". He used his privileges to push the budget from 10 billion a year to 1 billion in January, and the budget execution progress exceeded the expectations.

Now, Zu Guangyao couldn't sit still.

He asked someone to investigate what Lao Feng had been doing during this time.

Just buy light nanocrystals on a large scale. Although this kind of thing is expensive, it maintains its value and is not a waste.

More than 30 billion people were actually used by him to find information about the light system seeds.

What does this guy want to do?

"Old Feng, please tell me the truth about the effect of buying Najing and finding Tianzhong." Zu Guangyao took Feng Zhoulong's hand, his eyes were extremely sincere: "Don't worry, I will definitely support your research."

"You, you know everything?" Feng Zhoulong smiled coquettishly.

Xu Shen covered his face, this old guy, this is what he did?

Immediately afterwards, Feng Zhoulong told Zu Guangyao the great idea of ​​"eating seeds".

Even Xu Shen's nine-star natural talent was completely sold off by him.

Xu Shensheng was helpless and looked at the ceiling with dull eyes.

Destroy it, tired.
