Douluo: Starting from the Spirit of Time Worm

In fact, there are quite a few people who want to recruit and train Yan Jin. At least several top figures in Frost Leaf City have paid some attention to her.

But they are not sure about the attitude of the Soul Douluo. Is he disgusted with Yan Jin's indifference, is he still thinking of taking her as a disciple, or has he forgotten about it...

Although it is most likely the last case, they dare not bet. Even if the Soul Douluo himself will not deliberately take action for such a small matter, once he shows a little disgust, those who flatter him may cause trouble.

Amon does not have this concern. First, he is alone and there are not many places where he can be targeted. In addition, he is not old now. If others extend an olive branch to Yan Jin, they may be suspected of competing with the Soul Douluo for a disciple. What he does is more of a mutual help between peers.

After negotiating with Yan Jin, Amon came to the most luxurious mansion in the city.

Stopping at the guard at the door, he said politely:

"My name is Amon, I'm an assistant teacher at the Ice Wind Junior Soul Master Academy, and I'm here to visit Ms. Ma Wen."

Perhaps it was his pointed hat that made him look much taller, or perhaps it was his clothes that brought a sense of mystery, the guard did not look down on Amon because of his young age, but said respectfully:

"Have you made an appointment in advance? If not, please wait, I need to ask for instructions."

"Then thank you." Amon nodded.

Ma Wen is one of the three most powerful people in Frost Leaf City.

The other two are the head of the Wuhun Branch Hall and the dean of the Ice Wind Junior Soul Master Academy.

One of them has the Wuhun Hall behind him, and no one dares to provoke this behemoth, and the other is the strongest person in Frost Leaf City, a 48th-level Soul Master.

Ma Wen is a businessman who influences every aspect of Frost Leaf City with huge funds.

As for the city lord, Frost Leaf City does not have that kind of thing. In just two years, there have been three city lords here.

The newly appointed city lord of the empire is still on his way to take office. It is said that he has been on the road for half a year, and it is unknown when he will arrive.

After a while, the guard came out and took Amon to the reception room.

"Haha, I thought it was someone else. Isn't it still a child? Did Shi Guantao ask you to come?"

Ma Wen sat in the main seat, crossed her legs, supported her right hand on the side of her face, and said with a smile.

Amon glanced at the young woman. She was wearing a tiger skin coat, her wheat-colored skin looked healthy and full of vitality, and her whole person exuded a wild beauty.

"No, I'm not the dean. I came to you on my own initiative."

"You said you were an assistant teacher at the college? Why, do you want to switch jobs and work for me? It may be a little dangerous, but the rewards are more generous."

"I'm very satisfied with my current job."

"Since you're not bringing a message to Shi Guantao, nor are you planning to change jobs, what do you want to talk to me about? I don't think there's anything for me to talk about with a kid like you. You'd better give a reasonable explanation, or I'll teach you a lesson. I don't think Shi Guantao will bother me for such a small matter." Ma Wen showed a trace of impatience on her face.

"I'm here to solicit investment. Ms. Ma Wen, you are a businessman and should have a good business sense. Investing in a commodity can bring you profits, and investing in a person can also make you gain benefits."

"Investing in... people? Haha, you don't want me to invest in you, do you? Then tell me what investment value you have and what kind of return you can bring to me?"

Ma Wen's eyes became dangerous, "Your speech is the same as most scammers. Don't let me be sure of this. You should know the consequences."

"Do you know the Pan-Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition?"

"Does this have anything to do with what we are going to talk about?" Ma Wen had a hint of doubt on her face.

"Of course it is related. It is held every five years. I can't count on the next one, but I am sure that I can form a team to participate in the next one and get a good ranking. At that time, I will promote the Ice Thorn Chamber of Commerce, and I will work for you for three years after the competition. How about it?"

"Haha, is this what you call investment? Am I stupid enough to believe what others say? Use real money to bet on something illusory in the future?" There was already a hint of murderous intent in her tone.

"Although I really want to say that my talent is not bad, my current state is really not convincing. Do you believe in Yan Jin? Are you willing to invest in her?"

Amon was not shaken by Ma Wen's murderous intention and said very calmly.

In order to facilitate sponsorship, this is also the reason why Amon contacted Yan Jin. He himself is only a level 12 soul master now, and he is also 12 years old. Others don't know that his inner self has undergone earth-shaking changes. In the eyes of others, his talent can only be said to be mediocre.

If he comes to lobby alone, there is a high possibility of failure, but it will be different if he is tied to Yan Jin.

Yan Jin's talent is obvious to all. After being personally certified by Contra, I believe many people will consider it.

Their biggest concern is Contra's attitude. As long as this influence is eliminated, there is a high possibility of attracting sponsorship.

"Yan Jin, are you talking about the kid who was so stupid that he refused to be recruited by Soul Douluo?"

Ma Wen's anger eased a little, and he pondered: "That kid is indeed worth investing in. The vision of the big shots in the Spirit Hall is naturally not bad.

"But she angered that adult because of her stubbornness. Obviously, that adult had already promised to let the people of the Spirit Hall of Frost Leaf City properly place the gang of kids under her.

"But she still couldn't let them go, refused to go to Wuhun City, and finally angered the Soul Douluo away.

"Her talent is good, but not good enough to make a Soul Douluo willing to bring a group of burdens for her.

"I think no one in this Frost Leaf City can withstand the anger of a Soul Douluo. No one dares to recruit her before confirming the attitude of that big shot."

"It's not recruitment, but investment." Amon raised his index finger and shook it gently.

"And you are investing in me, not her. It's just that she is half of my disciple, so part of your investment will also be reflected in her through me. This is different from your taking Yan Jin into the Chamber of Commerce."

The other party cannot establish a too close relationship with Yan Jin, which is why Amon listed Ma Wen as the first consideration.

Compared to taking in disciples, commercial investment like Ma Wen is more appropriate.

It not only expresses enough goodwill to Yan Jin, but also does not make the relationship too close.

Ma Wen is a little moved. Although Yan Jin often steals, he is loyal to his friends because he refuses to be recruited by Soul Douluo.

What limits the development of the Chamber of Commerce is the lack of support from reliable strong men.

She has been planning to cultivate powerful soul masters close to the Chamber of Commerce for a long time, but it has been ineffective. After all, the return on investment cycle is too long and it is difficult to find a suitable target.

As for seeking cooperation directly from powerful soul masters, it is hard to say who will be in control at that time. She will inevitably lose a lot of autonomy. She does not want the Chamber of Commerce she has worked so hard to build to belong to others.

She had previously considered how to directly absorb Yan Jin into the Chamber of Commerce, but gave up because of concerns about Soul Douluo. Amon's proposal brought another safer form.

It is also certain what the attitude of the Soul Douluo will be in eight years, and the risks during this period will be borne by Amon.

Although Yan Jin did not directly join the Chamber of Commerce in this way and his relationship with the Chamber of Commerce is not so close, it is safer.

"Will she be willing to go with you?" Ma Wen asked.

Amon nodded slightly and said:

"She has agreed. She rejected the Soul Douluo before because her brothers were too young, so she was worried.

"I will stay here until she graduates from the Ice Wind Junior Soul Master Academy. By then, the youngest of the people who make her worried will be eight or nine years old, older than she is now.

"If you are willing to take care of those children during the time we are away, what else can she worry about?

"Yan Jin is better than you think. Her talent is not only reflected in the cultivation of soul power, but also in combat. She is also a genius.

"With amazing combat intuition, self-taught soul power application skills, good training speed, and my planning and guidance, she is destined to become a powerful soul master.

"I will take her to join the Northern Advanced Soul Master Academy, and then participate in the Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition.

"If we don't qualify to join the Advanced Soul Master Academy in five years, we will be your subordinates and sell you the rest of our lives. How about that?"

"I have to say, your words moved me." Ma Wen put down her crossed legs and changed to a more upright sitting posture, with some solemnity in her dark brown pupils, "Then what specific investment method do you want to talk about?"

Amon said the plan he had prepared long ago:

"When we are in the Junior Soul Master Academy, give us 500 gold soul coins every year, and when we go to the Advanced Soul Master Academy, 2,000 gold soul coins every year.

"When Yan Jin and I get the first and second ring soul rings, the Ice Thorn Chamber of Commerce needs to provide help.

"Also arrange a house for us next to the academy. When we leave Frost Leaf City to study at the Advanced Soul Master Academy in five years, you have to take good care of Yan Jin's brothers and sisters.

"Of course, the return after eight years is a bit too late, so we will also give some feedback during this period.

"I remember the Chamber of Commerce has something to do with clothing. Let's put it this way. Except for occasions where school uniforms are required, you will arrange Yan Jin's clothing.

"You can print the Chamber of Commerce logo on her clothes. In addition, the school sometimes organizes some competitions, and you can let her wear the new style of clothes you want to launch on such occasions.

"Or to be more direct, print advertising patterns of other products on her clothes."

Amon paused and continued: "According to Yan Jin's personality, she will always attract attention no matter where she is. As long as she is good enough, there will be no worries that no one will notice the advertisements on her clothes. In addition, if this form of advertising brings good results, you also need to give us extra compensation."

"It's a very creative idea. Your idea alone is of great value."

As a shrewd businessman, Ma Wen immediately grasped the key points. She smiled and said:

"Then it's settled. In addition, bring Yan Jin, the kid, to meet me tonight, and don't let others know."

"Happy cooperation." Amon raised his right hand and pinched his monocle.
