Chapter 996 Negotiations (below)
The steward had a decision in his heart, but his face showed regret and continued to persuade.
“Xu Xianzi really do not consider, with our fighting field long-term cooperation? With your strength, just sign this contract, in the future fights, at least 30% higher winning rate.”
“That does sound very good, but unfortunately I have other important matters on my mind, so I can only guarantee that I won’t accept any solicitation from any forces during the period of cooperation with the fighting arena.”
Seeing that her mind was made up, the steward had the sense not to persuade her any further, and took the contract on the desk and began to modify the content on it.
Half an incense stick later, he presented the new contract to Xu Chuniang.
“Fairy Xu, look, how is this contract? If there are no objections, we’ll sign the new contract, and the previous one will be nullified directly.”
Xu Chuniang swept a glance at the contents of the contract, not rushing to pick it up.
“The fighting arena has made a new request to me, but refuses to offer more generous conditions, it’s a bit too insincere, isn’t it?”
The steward laughed, “Immortal Xu is joking, this contract of mine is fair and reasonable, and will definitely not let you suffer, other C-grade fighters must fight a full five bouts per month, but Immortal Xu is an exception, you only need to fight a full four bouts per month.
You should know that with your popularity nowadays, Fairy Xu, if you participate in one less fight per month, the fighting arena will earn a lot less immortal crystals.”
Xu Chuniang shook her head, “Playing five matches and four matches is not much different for me, so there’s no need to purposely reduce the number of matches, how about this, how about you remove the limit on the bets I placed?”
“No way.”
The steward refused without thinking, “Unless Immortal Xu and I signed, the same contract as before, only then will I have the authority to remove the limit on the bets you placed.”
Xu Chuniang knew in her heart that the steward would most likely not agree to her proposal, but she was not disappointed and continued to bargain.
“It can’t be canceled, then raising a portion of the limit is always fine, right?”
“This ……”
The steward was also in a difficult position, raising the limit would mean that the fighting arena might lose a portion of the immortal crystals.
But by directly refusing, he was also worried that he would provoke the other party and mess up this errand.
Not waiting for the steward to speak, Xu Chuniang eased her tone and continued.
“Merely raising the limit for me alone, that’s all I’m asking for, the fighting arena is rich and powerful, it wouldn’t even fail to do that, right?”
Hearing the dissatisfaction in her tone, the steward gritted his teeth and nodded.
“Alright, I’ll take the lead and raise the limit for Fairy Xu’s bets from 10,000 immortal crystals to 20,000, now Fairy Xu should be satisfied, right?”
Xu Chuniang frowned slightly, “Only twenty thousand? That’s too little, it should at least be raised to one hundred thousand, right?”
“One hundred thousand?”
The steward’s breath stuttered, even for those fighters who had signed a long-lasting contract with the arena and placed unlimited bets, there were very few people who would place such heavy bets in a match.
“This is too much, no no no, 20,000 at most, 20,000 is already the limit I can get for Fairy Xu, otherwise there’s no way I can deliver.”
Xu Chuniang didn’t reject it at first, nor did she rush to agree, and after pondering for a moment, she said.
“Didn’t the steward say that if I participate in one more bout per month, I can bring more benefits to the fighting arena?
I’m willing to increase the number of bouts per month in exchange for an increase in the betting limit, I believe that the Steward won’t reject my proposal, right?”
Hearing Xu Chuniang’s words, the Steward was really a bit moved, each match could sell five hundred tickets, and one ticket was worth hundreds of Immortal Crystals.
The income from the tickets alone was a huge amount of immortal crystals!
After quickly calculating a sum of money, the steward’s heart was already somewhat loosened. “What Fairy Xu said is indeed a good solution, but the limit of 100,000 cash is just too high, this is something I can’t make a decision on, how about this, I’ll report the origin of the matter to my superiors, and she’ll make the decision, how about it?”
“OK.”
After obtaining Xu Chuniang’s consent, the steward took out his identity token and after punching several divine thoughts into it, he soon waited for a reply.
After reading the reply, the steward packed up the token and said to Xu Chuniang.
“What my upper peak means is that Immortal Xu wants to raise the betting limit, in addition to the original five matches, she needs to compete in three more matches per month in order to raise the limit to 50,000 Immortal Crystals.
If Immortal Xu is unwilling, the five matches per month will remain the same, and the limit can only be raised to twenty thousand for you.”
Fifty thousand, double the difference from the one hundred thousand Xu Chuniang had proposed, but I’m afraid this was already the biggest concession the fighting arena could make.
“Alright then, let’s do as you say, I’ll accept eight bouts per month.”
Seeing her make a decision so quickly, the steward couldn’t help but say a few more words.
“In fact, for Grade C fighters, scheduling five bouts per month is considered high intensity because after the bouts are over, the fighters need time to cleanse their bodies of residual law power, heal their wounds, and recover their body’s Immortal Qi.
Eight bouts a month, an average of one every less than four days, has Immortal Xu considered this clearly?”
“I’ve considered it clearly and am willing to accept the arrangement of the fighting arena.”
Upon hearing this, the steward secretly shook his head, modifying the contents on the contract while thinking that Fairy Xu had entered the fighting arena for too short a period of time in the end, and was too young and impetuous.
Belying on the fact that she had won more than a dozen matches in a row in the Grade D arena, she was conceited that her strength was too much, not realizing that the Grade C arena and the Grade D arena were not even on the same level.
When you meet a formidable opponent in the future, what is the use of having a higher betting limit?
After redrafting the contract, the steward signed his name on the contract on behalf of the arena, took out his seal, solemnly stamped it, and handed the contract to Xu Chuniang.
“Fairy Xu, take a look, the conditions on this paper contract are all those you agreed to, you won’t refuse me this time, right?”
Xu Chuniang took the contract and glanced at it, and after confirming that it was correct, she readily signed her name.
After the final stroke fell, the contract became heavenly, transforming into two identical copies that automatically fell into the hands of Xu Chunniang and the steward.
The steward scanned the contract in his hands, smiled with satisfaction, and properly put it away.
Although the process had some twists and turns, the ending was always good.
“I still have things to do, so I won’t keep Fairy Xu, next time, if there’s nothing else to do, I’ll invite you over for tea.
If Fairy Xu feels that eight fights a month is too much to bear, you can discuss it with me again at that time, after all, the fighting arena cares about more than just profit, there is also the safety of each and every fighter.”
Xu Chuniang smiled in agreement, not poking at the steward’s words.
The so-called Dojo’s concern for the well-being of the fighters was, in essence, equally for the sake of profit.
After all, dead fighters could no longer fight, and were unable to continue creating value for the dojo.
Xu Chuniang put away the contract and offered her farewell before leaving the front hall in a rather good mood.
Anyway, all she was asking for when she entered the fighting arena was just Immortal Crystals.
The new contract with the fighting arena was a mutually beneficial thing, both for the fighting arena and for her, so why not? (End of chapter)
