Chapter 672 - 642: Selling Price (Part 2)

Actually, the Compression Secret Technique wasn’t difficult, especially the Entry Level. Zuo Wenya learned it in just a few minutes.

Relying on his astonishing Control Power, Zuo Wenya quickly compressed 1% of his body’s Blood Qi Power into his fingertip.

Of course, even though he only compressed 1% of his Blood Qi Power, it still amounted to 750 points, which already surpassed the power Lin Xinghai had just displayed.

At this point, Zuo Wenya no longer had any doubts about Lin Xinghai’s Compression Secret Technique.

"Alright, according to what you said, you’ve now created two levels of the Secret Technique, capable of compressing 10% and 20% of one’s Blood Qi Power, respectively. And you’re willing to sell both these levels, right?" Zuo Wenya asked after completing his initial verification.

"Yes, that’s right," Lin Xinghai nodded.

"Very good. I’ll discuss this with the school’s upper management later. You can sell it directly under the school’s name. How much do you want to sell these two Levels of the Secret Technique for?"

"Also, by creating such a Secret Technique and being willing to sell it, you’ve made a huge contribution to the overall war effort. What kind of reward do you want?" Zuo Wenya asked, firing off questions.

"I don’t know much about sales pricing, so I’ll ask you to help me decide, Instructor."

"As for the contribution this time, I hope to get a large amount of Creation Essence Liquid from the Military Department—at least enough for me to cultivate to the Divine Demon Realm. Of course, with something like Creation Essence Liquid, the more the better. It just depends on how much you can negotiate for me, Instructor," Lin Xinghai said immediately.

"Good kid, already thinking about the Divine Demon Realm. As for the Creation Essence Liquid, providing enough for one person shouldn’t be a problem. But as for the exact amount, I’ll do my best to negotiate for you. However, you need to be straight with me—how much Creation Essence Liquid do you actually want?" Zuo Wenya said with a smile.

"Ideally, I’d like two portions of Creation Essence Liquid, enough to cultivate to the Divine Demon Realm. Liu Miaomiao and I both need it. Also, Instructor, your Divine Demon Body isn’t fully cultivated yet, right? You should ask for a bit more. I’ll give any extra to you, Instructor, to help you finish cultivating your Divine Demon Body for the Divine Demon Realm stage," Lin Xinghai said.

"You still remember to look out for your instructor. I guess I didn’t teach you in vain. Then we’ll go with that for the reward. I don’t think it will be a problem. We might even be able to get enough for five people. If there’s any left over, you can use it to build your own core team. This stuff is something money can’t buy."

Zuo Wenya said with a smile, then shifted the topic back to the Compression Secret Technique. "As for your two Levels of the Secret Technique, price-wise, I’ll sell the first Level for 100,000 Credit Points and the second for 200,000 Credit Points."

"Of course, the usual rule applies: you’ll have to split the final income evenly with the school. As for any troublesome issues, the school will handle them for you. If you have no problem with that, then that’s the plan."

"That expensive?" Lin Xinghai was a little surprised.

After all, a complete Earth Level Martial Arts technique only cost around fifty or sixty thousand Credit Points. His first-level Secret Technique alone was selling for 100,000 Credit Points. The price was simply too high.

Moreover, with such a high price, very few people would be able to afford it. So even though the price was high, he estimated the final income would likely be even lower than what he had earned from the Investigation Technique.

"Expensive? Not at all. Other Secret Techniques can be substituted, but yours can’t. And once someone learns it, it’s an absolute trump card—an ace in the hole."

"It’s only because these are special times that we can’t raise the price. Otherwise, forget 100,000 Credit Points—even if it were a million, believe it or not, the other Divine Demon Realm experts would still hold their noses and buy it," Zuo Wenya said with a smile.

Lin Xinghai nodded. He believed that part.

’But what about everyone else?’

’100,000 Credit Points... that’s equivalent to a million Huaxia Coins! A Divine Demon Realm expert might be able to afford it easily, but that’s not necessarily the case for someone in the Body Shaping Realm.’

Lin Xinghai immediately voiced the question on his mind.

Zuo Wenya glanced at Lin Xinghai in surprise. "Are you really planning to spread this Compression Secret Technique far and wide?"

"Only by doing that can we significantly increase humanity’s overall combat power!" Lin Xinghai said, a bit surprised himself.

"You might not have understood what I just meant. Your Compression Secret Technique is absolutely top-tier. It’s an ace in the hole."

"It’s like this: if our academy’s research institute painstakingly develops a cutting-edge technology, would we sell it for peanuts? Obviously not. Even if other domestic organizations want it, they must pay a steep price."

"Therefore, not only will this Secret Technique of yours not be widely distributed, but on the contrary, every single person who wishes to learn it will be strictly vetted."

"After all, strictly speaking, a Secret Technique like yours is a method for controlling Energy. So it’s not just we who can use it with our Blood Qi Power; it could also be used with the Elemental Power of Mutated Zombies," Zuo Wenya said with a serious expression.

Now, Lin Xinghai finally understood.

’In truth, he didn’t think much of this current version of the Secret Technique, which could only compress 20% of one’s Blood Qi Power.’

’According to his plan, the final version he might eventually release would be able to compress 50% of one’s Blood Qi Power.’

’When the time was right, it wasn’t even out of the question for him to share the complete version of the Compression Secret Technique with those close to him.’

It was precisely because of this that there was a fundamental gap in how the two of them perceived the importance of this Secret Technique.

For Lin Xinghai, the simple version he was offering now was just a means to make money.

But for Zuo Wenya and the others, it was a trump card to be kept up one’s sleeve.

After figuring this out, it was Lin Xinghai’s turn to not know whether to laugh or cry.

But at this point, he couldn’t take back his words. He could only wait until he produced a better version of the Secret Technique and then consider lowering the price after the upgrade.

"Alright then, we’ll do it according to your arrangements, Instructor Zuo," Lin Xinghai said immediately.

"Okay. Then write down the first and second levels of the Compression Secret Technique. I’ll go negotiate with the school’s upper management and the military right now," Zuo Wenya nodded.

He was about to get up but suddenly seemed to think of something and sat back down. Looking at Lin Xinghai, he said with some seriousness, "It seems we’ve forgotten something very important?"

"What is it?" Lin Xinghai instantly grew a little tense from Zuo Wenya’s tone.

"The name! What is the name of this Secret Technique of yours that compresses Blood Qi Power?" Zuo Wenya said with a hint of envy.

"Uh, I haven’t really thought about it. Let’s just call it Compression Technique," Lin Xinghai said.

"This is a Secret Technique that could go down in history! And you’re naming it so casually?" Zuo Wenya was utterly speechless.

An idea struck Lin Xinghai, and he immediately said, "Then how about you name it, Instructor!"

Zuo Wenya hesitated for only a moment before giving in and nodding. "Alright then, it would be rude to refuse. Since this Secret Technique is something we’d use when fighting for our lives, something that can deliver a decisive blow, let’s call it ’Life-Sacrificing Strike’."
