Chapter 3199 — Han Jingyi's Plea
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"..." Liu Jinghan fell silent. She knew the mistake her father had made was far too grave. But he was her father after all, and she did not want him to die! In truth, people who used drugs had lost their reason; it was normal for them to be easily tempted, and Liu Jinghan understood that. If anyone was to blame, it was Kang Jingming for being so vicious as to use such a trick.
"Brother Wei Zhao... a friend of mine wants to talk to you..." Liu Jinghan hesitated, then said it anyway.
"Oh? Who? Someone pleading for Liu Tianli?" Wei Zhao frowned and asked.
"Brother Wei Zhao, it's me..." Han Jingyi's voice suddenly came over the line.
"Jingjing? What are you doing in Yanjing?" Wei Zhao was taken aback. He had never imagined that Liu Jinghan's friend would turn out to be Han Jingyi!
"Yes, Brother Wei Zhao, I came to Yanjing to discuss some things with Sister Jinghan! After all my research these past few days, I've added several new pill-refining programs to the first-grade automatic medicine cauldron—enough to upgrade the ten-in-one model. Once upgraded, the ten-in-one cauldron becomes a fifteen-in-one, with five new first-grade pill refinement programs!" Han Jingyi said. "Two of them are important pills, and three are less commonly used ones! Here's what I'm planning: anyone who has bought our deluxe ten-in-one cauldron can pay a two-hundred-million-yuan upgrade fee and have it upgraded to a fifteen-in-one. And the single-model cauldron can likewise pay a fifty-million-yuan upgrade fee to add any one new pill, turning it into a two-in-one."
"Oh? That's wonderful news!" Wei Zhao was overjoyed. This way, the problem facing the Cultivator's Chamber of Commerce would solve itself! Wei Zhao's cauldrons could offer follow-up upgrades, while the Xuandan Sect's could not!
The Xuandan Sect's cauldrons were cheap, but they were one-off products, while Wei Zhao's could be upgraded later. Which was the better bargain went without saying. If the products were identical, these sects and great families would certainly buy the cheaper ones—but since they were not, they would naturally choose the upgradable ones. However short of funds these ancient sects might be, none of them would buy a cauldron that couldn't be upgraded just to save five hundred million.
"Yes, yes—so will Brother Wei Zhao let this matter go now?" Han Jingyi asked.
"Let it go?" Wei Zhao was somewhat taken aback. He had not expected Han Jingyi to plead for the Liu family again and try to smooth things over. Yet he was not displeased in the least; instead he said, "Jingjing, have you thought this through? All of this was your invention, yet because of Jinghan's negligence Liu Tianli stole it away. Doesn't that upset you?"
"Not at all! It's about time Jingjing did an upgrade anyway. Kang Jingming has churned out a mountain of counterfeit cauldrons, and if they can't be sold, they'll just sit in his hands and cost him even more—how wonderful is that!" Han Jingyi said.
