Chapter 207 The Deal is Made

After hearing Uncle Xiao's words, Xuan Mingtian suddenly understood. His thinking became much clearer. It's true that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure.

Although the combined age of his two lifetimes would reach over 30, there's a limit to how much a person can think. But Xuan Mingtian is the opposite; for some reason, his IQ today is right at the lower limit.

"Uncle Xiao, won't your statement create a bad impression on the children in the orphanage? After all, Xiyue is already a member of our family."

After some thought, Xuan Mingtian finally voiced his concerns. Although he also wanted to implement this approach, the children in the orphanage were, after all, living, breathing human beings. Their thoughts would change as they grew older, something he couldn't control.

However, if Little Cutie or Camel Bro puts a restriction on them, that's a different story.

"Xiao Tian, ​​you don't understand the children in the orphanage. For them, talent is secondary; the most important thing is all kinds of resources."

After Uncle Xiao's explanation, Xuan Mingtian understood completely. After all, this wasn't the China of his previous life; this world also saw occasional acts of arson, murder, looting, and elven uprisings.

In my past life in China, only a very few people from an orphanage could ever reach the forefront, no matter how hard they tried. Moreover, in this world of elves, most resources are controlled by the alliance and families.

Take the Viridian Forest in the Kanto region for example; several thousand people venture there every year. Yet, the League reports hundreds of missing persons annually. Do you really think they're just there for fun or to be killed? They're only after training resources. If the League could actually allocate a small portion of those resources to them, would they need to risk their lives to go in?

This is something that Xuan Mingtian, who was well-off in his previous life and is now a wealthy man, cannot embody, after all, he didn't want to have such a powerful elder.

"Xiao Tian, ​​you need to understand. Although this society seems very orderly, the premise of having order is that the strongest has the most power. The law of the jungle and the survival of the fittest are played out to the fullest extent, but children nowadays are also very innocent. Just like the twelve zodiac animals, if they weren't given this opportunity, they would probably be on the field already, screwing in screws."

"Uncle Xiao, you're right. I was overthinking things. So let's do as you say."

After figuring things out, Xuan Mingtian turned his gaze to Principal Kofuji. The latter trembled all over—don't get the wrong idea, it wasn't fear but rather overwhelming excitement.

After all, Xuan Mingtian's conversation with Uncle Xiao hadn't been kept secret from anyone present, which was why Principal Fuji was so excited—investing in the school finally seemed possible. If they could secure annual investment, providing ten places wouldn't be a problem at all.

"Principal Fuji, I'll get straight to the point about investment. So, how much investment does your school need? But with investment comes return. Like Quartz Academy, I'm quite satisfied with their returns. *Pause*"

After saying this, Xuan Mingtian picked up the tea on the table and drank it without any hesitation.

"Hehe, Young Master Tian, ​​I'll get straight to the point. My Trainer School may not be as globally recruiting as Indigo Academy, but it's still a long-established school in Viridian City. As a result, the facilities are starting to get old. I'm hoping for an investment of around 20 million each year, and I can offer you five places..."

When Principal Fuji mentioned these conditions, Xuan Mingtian's brows furrowed involuntarily. Although 2000 million was nothing to him now, wasn't this number of admission spots a bit too small?

As far as he knew, there were seven children at the seasonal orphanage who were about to start school, and three others who had already gone to regular schools.

With only five spots available, it's far from enough for seven children to enroll, which is why he frowned.

However, Principal Xiaofu easily noticed Xuan Mingtian's action. He immediately changed his tune, saying, "Ahem, Young Master Xuan, how about we change the investment amount to 1000 million per year, and I'll give you 5 enrollment spots?"

When Principal Fuji said those words, Xuan Mingtian frowned even more deeply, clearly his words had not resonated with him at all.

The scene was completely silent. At the same time, Xuan Mingtian kept tapping his hand on the table, causing some people to involuntarily wipe the cold sweat from their foreheads.

“Principal Fuji, you need to understand that I don’t care about the amount of money. Let me be frank with you, I can invest 5000 million in the school every year, but you have to give up 10 enrollment spots every year.”

"This……"

After hearing this condition, Principal Kofuji fell into deep thought.

"You need to understand that these 10 enrollment spots are not available every year. Also, you don't need to worry about the initial spirit. If you accept these conditions, we will proceed according to this plan, but if you don't accept them, I won't force you. You need to think it through carefully."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Principal Guo, standing next to Principal Fuji, frantically tried to urge him with his eyes. He even kept kicking him, almost standing up and shouting, "Agree now!"

Actually, this didn't need any hints. At this moment, Principal Fuji excitedly exclaimed in his heart, "My goodness, this young master Xuan is like a little adult, and he's as generous as the world's richest man. 5000 million a year only requires paying for 10 enrollment spots, and you don't even need to prepare a starter Pokémon. Anyone who doesn't want such benefits is a fool."

"What's wrong, little Fuji? Are you still not satisfied with these conditions? Or do you think my young master's investment is too little?"

When Uncle Xiao saw that Principal Fuji was acting like a silly beast, he couldn't help but scold him.

"Ah, no, no, no, Butler Xiao, you misunderstand. I'm just too excited and happy. Young Master Xuan has offered such excellent conditions, if I don't agree, I'll be possessed by a Slowpoke."

"In that case, let's sign the agreement. I can transfer the money to you tomorrow, but I hope it will be used for school construction and improving the welfare of teachers and students. Don't let me find out you've embezzled any money, or there will be very bad consequences."

"Haha, Young Master Xuan, don't worry, I will use the money you invested in the school. If you are still worried, you can send someone to check on it regularly."

In the following time, Xuan Mingtian arranged for Uncle Xiao to print and sign the contract. In reality, this was just a formality. If the school were to be demolished, given Xuan Mingtian's family's resources, the worst that would happen is that they would have to pay compensation and be blacklisted.

As time ticked by, an investment was finalized in less than an hour. Afterwards, Principal Fuji invited Xuan Mingtian to visit the Trainer Academy over the weekend, but Xuan declined. His reason was simple: weekends were his own time.
