Chapter 25
The Friendly or Hostile Chosen Ones!
At the same time.
A silver Pegasus statue stood at the top of a hundred-story tall building.
This was the Pegasus Building.
In the conference room.
A group of high-level figures was holding a meeting.
“What’s the start-up fund?”
The person who said this was a man in his late twenties. He was dressed in a casual style. He was not very charming, but at least he was tall, rich, and handsome.
This person was the general manager of the Pegasus Organization, Ma Li.
“The budget for passing the three-star difficulty trial is about 100,000 Heavenly Dao coins.”
“Due to the fact that the Crazy Asylum is a new Otherworld Instance Dungeon, the safety budget is around 120,000 Heavenly Dao coins.”
“General Manager, Mr. Ma Feihang is our company’s main focus. Currently, he has already passed two two-star Otherworld Instance Dungeon trials and can unlock Heavenly Dao shops below level seven. I think it’s best to spend 180,000 Heavenly Dao coins.”
The upper echelons of this company were naturally discussing how much Heavenly Dao coins to give Ma Feihang to pass this trial.
As everyone knew, 10,000 Heavenly Dao coins was equivalent to a hundred million yuan.
180,000 Heavenly Dao coins was 1.8 billion yuan.
However, it was impossible to recoup his losses.
One had to know that the Heavenly Dao reward for passing the three-star Otherworld Instance Dungeon was only a thousand Heavenly Dao coins.
However, since Ma Feihang was the target of Pegasus Corporation’s special training, the outcome was different.
If he failed the trial, they would lose both his life and wealth.
Therefore, in terms of budget, there would only be more, not less.
In the Heavenly Dao Shop below level seven, a level-six treasure required 10,000 Heavenly Dao coins.
If they looked further away, if they could nurture a figure like Yu Fuxue, the value he would create for the Pegasus Corporation would be very huge.
There was even a chance to obtain strength in the Otherworld Instance Dungeon. That was definitely not something that money could measure.
It could be said that treasures were inferior and strength was superior.
However, the probability of obtaining various mysterious powers was too low.
The selected person had to pass the Otherworld Instance Dungeon trial to have a chance of obtaining a lucky draw opportunity and acquiring strength from the lucky draw opportunity.
At this moment, a white-robed young man in his early twenties walked into the conference hall.
This person was Ma Feihang, the number 11 candidate this time.
Ma Feihang nodded and said to Ma Li, “Seventh Uncle, I’m ready.”
Ma Li held his chin with both hands and nodded slightly. “Feihang, Zhao Feiya, a member of the Deva Organization. She’s both friend and foe. You know what to do, right?”
Ma Feihang responded, “I understand.”
From Ma Li’s point of view, out of the seven people chosen from the Dragon Country, apart from Ma Feihang himself, only Zhao Feiya had the ability to compete with Ma Feihang.
Ma Feihang naturally understood Ma Li’s words. What he meant was that it was necessary for them to work together to complete the trial, but when necessary, he had to deal with Zhao Feiya, his competitor.
Without a powerful competitor like Zhao Feiya, Ma Feihang would have an additional chance to obtain more benefits.
As for Su Qianqian and the other four candidates, in the eyes of Ma Feihang and even Zhao Feiya, they were only cannon fodder.
…
Xiajing.
In the high-level meeting room of the headquarters of the Celestial Corporation.
“The information department sent a quick message just now. The starting capital of the Pegasus Organization is 180,000 Heavenly Dao coins. As expected of a company under the Ma Clan.”
“Ma Feihang is a member of the Ma Family, and he’s also the target of Pegasus Corporation’s focused training. If they can nurture a new-generation genius like Yu Fuxue, it will create higher benefits for their company.”
“Should we start a two-billion-yuan fund?”
“Where is Zhao Feiya now?”
“He was called over by Secretary Yang 10 minutes ago.”
At the mention of “Secretary Yang”, the higher-ups fell silent for a long time. Even the general manager of this discussion meeting did not say anything.
In the secretary’s office.
“Zhao Feiya, the CEO thinks very highly of you this time. The higher-ups also intend to nurture you into the second Yu Fuxue.”
Yang Xi took out a document and handed it to a short-haired woman.
As for this short-haired woman, she was Zhao Feiya, the number two candidate.
This was not the first time she had been chosen by the Heavenly Dao System. She had already been chosen four times, but they were all one-star Otherworld Instance Dungeon trials.
This time, she would skip stars and carry out the 3-star Otherworld Instance Dungeon trial.
Zhao Feiya was very excited and terrified.
Zhao Feiya took the document and read through it carefully. Her heart felt like it had been hit by ten thousand blows.
“The company won’t hold you responsible this time. You have to look further away.”
Yang Xi added, “Not only does the company think highly of you, but personally, I also think very highly of you.”
At this moment, Zhao Feiya’s eyes were dull and she looked like she was at a loss.
From the documents, she learned that her boyfriend was actually a business spy, and a spy from Pegasus Corporation.
Therefore, most of the information Zhao Feiya acquired from the four One-Star Otherworld Instance Dungeons was stolen by her boyfriend.
If the company pursued the matter, Zhao Feiya might really go to jail. After all, she had signed more than ten confidentiality contracts with the company.
One had to know that the information and experience of the Otherworld Instance Dungeons were very valuable.
At this moment, Zhao Feiya could be said to have been betrayed by her boyfriend and had broken her promise to the company.
As long as the company made a move, they could immediately ruin Zhao Feiya’s reputation and send her to prison for a few years.
However, the company’s motive for not doing so was very clear. While the company gave Zhao Feiya a chance, it also wanted Zhao Feiya to prove herself better.
Zhao Feiya lowered her head slightly and reflected on herself. “I understand. Thank you, Secretary Yang. I’m also very grateful for your company’s tolerance and forgiveness!”
“There’s no need to say these words. You’re also a smart person and know what to do.” Yang Xi’s words were very clear. The company upheld only one principle. Everything was for benefits.
Yang Xi continued, “When the Otherworld Instance Dungeon descended this time, you and Pegasus’ Ma Feihang were both chosen. Your relationship is both competitors and partners. It’s impossible for you to complete the 3-star Otherworld Instance Dungeon trial alone.”
“I understand.” Zhao Feiya nodded.
Yang Xi’s words suddenly took a turn. “CEO Ding asked me to pass you a message: Number 12, Su Qianqian.”
Hearing this, Zhao Feiya still did not understand what was going on.
The first thing she thought of was that Su Qianqian was chosen for the second time.
If it was just to say that Su Qianqian was Number 12, there was no need for Boss Ding to send a message, right?
Therefore, Zhao Feiya guessed that Boss Ding’s words definitely had a hidden meaning.
Why didn’t he put it bluntly? It was because he didn’t want others to know.
Since Boss Ding had specially mentioned Su Qianqian, who was Number 12, the meaning behind it must be closely related to the Crazy Asylum this time.
After thinking for a moment.
Zhao Feiya seemed to have sorted out her thoughts, as if she understood the meaning behind Boss Ding’s words.
