Douluo: I have too many clones

Chapter 557 Gu Yuena and Fors

The headquarters of the Spirit Pagoda in the central part of Douluo Continent.

"I disagree."

"What's the reason?"

"I don't like the man-made souls of Ten Thousand Years and I don't believe in the Ten Thousand Beasts Terrace."

"How can such a reason be valid? Do you know how much manpower and materials these two inventions cost our Spirit Pagoda? If they were successfully promoted, they would bring great benefits and fame to our Spirit Pagoda."

"Yes, I know. In that case, let's follow the old rules and vote together."

"..."

Following the same old voting procedure, the matter of the Ten Thousand Years Artificial Soul and the Ten Thousand Beast Platform was once again rejected.

"Da da da!"

Gu Yuena walked out of the meeting room with a rather grim look on her face. This was the nth time she had proposed putting ten thousand year old artificial souls on the market, and proposed letting some Titled Douluo enter the Ten Thousand Beasts Arena to experience it, in order to gain resource assistance from the Spirit Pagoda headquarters.

However, every time she proposed something, Fors would reject it. It was as if that woman was deliberately trying to make things difficult for her, and the reasons she gave were extremely absurd.

Don't like the Ten Thousand Years Man-Made Souls and the Ten Thousand Beasts Platform? What kind of a reason is that!

But that group of congressmen just supported Fors, which made Gu Yuena a little confused.

"It's obvious that the benefits of the Ten Thousand Year Artificial Soul and the Ten Thousand Beasts Arena are obvious to anyone who is not blind. But why do those guys support Fors? Is it because she has more powerful bargaining chips in her hands than the artificial souls?"

Gu Yuena began to think. The congressmen all came from different families and they also had their own interests to exchange. None of them would act without seeing the rabbit.

But at the meeting, the vast majority of people chose to support Fors. If there were not enough benefits to be exchanged, they would never have done so.

After all, the ten thousand year old artificial souls are a great thing for the entire Spirit Pagoda. As long as they can be successfully promoted, as members of the Spirit Pagoda, even if they can only get a small share of the profits, it will definitely be enough for them to make a fortune.

"How did that woman win over so many people?" Gu Yuena rubbed her eyebrows in annoyance.

After several months of wrangling, she finally realized that whether it was the other deputy tower master of the Spirit Pagoda or the other members of the parliament, they did not support Qiangu Qingfeng, but Fors.

When this idea came out, even Qiangu Dongfeng found it hard to believe. He had worked hard to run the Spirit Pagoda for so many years, but in the end, his influence in the pagoda was not as great as that of a young girl who had just started out.

Why should she? !
But no matter what they thought, the fact seemed to be so. The parliamentarians headed by Qiangu Qingfeng, two of the four great spirit messengers, and the other deputy tower master Lan Xueqin, all seemed to be determined to support Fors.

Under such circumstances, even though Gu Yuena had the support of Leng Yaoju and Qiangu Dongfeng, she still could not outnumber Fors, and the matter of creating ten thousand year old artificial souls was stuck until now.

"It seems that I really need to find time to talk to Fors."

If she continued to delay, there was no telling when her soul beast revival plan would be delayed. Although she didn't want to see Fors, Gu Yuena still decided to talk to her.

Thinking of this, Gu Yuena did not stop and walked towards Fors's room in the Spirit Tower.

"Gu Yue, you are not allowed to hurt Sister Fors." At this time, a somewhat unreal female voice sounded from Gu Yuena's ears.

Gu Yue rolled her eyes and responded unhappily, "I know, I know. You heartless guy should think more about our situation."

"The current situation clearly shows that Fors is bullying us. Besides, there are so many people in this Spirit Transferring Tower, and it is impossible for me to do anything to her, okay?"

Na'er said in an embarrassed voice, "Aren't you afraid that you will really fight with Sister Fors?"

"Which side are you from?"

Gu Yue was walking in the corridor of the Spirit Transferring Tower while arguing with Na'er in his mind.

Suddenly, a tall figure rushed towards her as if it didn't see her.

Although Gu Yue was distracted communicating with Na'er, he still had at least some perception and subconsciously turned his body to avoid the tall figure.

The figure staggered and finally came back to his senses from his trance.

"I'm sorry, miss. I was a little distracted just now. I hope I didn't hurt you."

He was a tall young man who looked to be about 27 or 28 years old. His blond hair was neatly combed back and he was wearing a white robe with obvious golden patterns on it, which made him look noble and gorgeous.

"Title Douluo."

Just by casually glancing at the young man, Gu Yuena instantly saw through his strength. Such a young Titled Douluo must be the descendant of a high-ranking member of the Spirit Pagoda.

Gu Yuena's face was cold and she said calmly, "No." After that, she turned and left.

"Wait, young lady, I don't know your name yet." The young man subconsciously wanted to keep Gu Yuena, and then he said as if waking up from a dream: "By the way, I haven't introduced myself yet, my name is Qiangu Zhangting."

"As an apology, I wonder if I would have the honor to invite Miss to dinner with me."

The young man named Qiangu Zhangting has a slightly feminine appearance, but his eyes are exceptionally bright and deep, as if there is something special in them.

Qiangu Zhangting, is that the grandson of Qiangu Dongfeng who is in seclusion? Has he come out of seclusion?

The moment she heard the name, Gu Yuena roughly understood the other party's background. But, what does it matter?

Gu Yuena shook her head and said coldly, "My name is Gu Yuena, no need to apologize. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying this, Gu Yuena did not give Qiangu Zhangting any chance to stay and walked away directly. She still had to go to Fors to discuss the matter of artificial souls in private, and she did not have time to get entangled with these outsiders.

Qiangu Zhangting looked at the receding white figure with fascination, and only after the other person left his sight did he reluctantly look away.

"Gu Yuena? What a nice name."

Qiangu Zhangting felt as if he was in love. He had just recently broken through to the Titled Douluo level and ended his retreat. He was just about to share the good news with his grandfather, but he didn't expect to suddenly meet such a beautiful girl, which caused him to be a little distracted.

Although they had only met once, Qiangu Zhangting felt that he had fallen in love with the girl at first sight. "She seemed to be coming from the direction of the conference room. Is she the descendant of some high-ranking official?"

Qiangu Zhangting immediately walked towards the meeting room. He wanted to share the good news of his breakthrough to Titled Douluo with his grandfather, and also to ask his grandfather for information about the girl.

……

"I wonder if Miss Gu Yuena has come to my humble abode for some important matter?"

Fors sat on the sofa in the room, looking at Gu Yuena with some amusement and asked.

Gu Yue took a deep breath. She originally thought that she could discuss with Fors calmly. But when she looked at Fors in front of her, for some reason, Zi Ji's appearance appeared in her mind.

"I really can't get along with this woman." Gu Yue said to himself.

In that case, Gu Yue didn't plan to say any polite words and went straight to the point: "Fors, I want to talk to you about artificial souls and the Ten Thousand Beasts Platform."

Fors said calmly, "There shouldn't be anything to talk about, right? Didn't I say I don't like artificial souls and the Ten Thousand Beasts Arena? Besides, I'm not even a councillor, so there's no point in talking to me about this."

Just keep pretending!
If you weren't the first one to speak out against it every time, I would have believed it.

Gu Yue took a deep breath and said directly, "Fors, I don't want to argue with you here. I'll just say it straight. You can put forward any conditions. As long as it is within my ability, I can help you complete it."

"Any conditions?" Fors raised an eyebrow, and then began to look at Gu Yuena's body as if she was looking at a work of art.

"Oh no, I forgot that there seems to be something wrong with her sexual orientation." Gu Yue's body tensed up, and she suddenly remembered that although Fors finally chose Nan Fusheng, her previous sexual orientation seemed to be a bit wrong.

So he quickly added: "Yes, but the premise is that it is within my ability and it cannot touch my bottom line."

Na'er might not mind being close to Fors, but Gu Yue would mind, since she is not a copper.

As for what Gu Yue's bottom line is, it depends on whether Fors's request is too much.

"Yes." Fortunately, Fors did not ask what Gu Yuena's bottom line was. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then I want all the information about the ten thousand year old artificial soul, as well as the research on the Ten Thousand Beast Platform so far."

"At the same time, I want half of all the profits generated by the above two items."

"That's impossible." Gu Yuena rejected it outright. "The research data on the Ten Thousand Years Man-Made Soul and the Ten Thousand Beast Platform is the top secret in the Spirit Transfer Tower. And half of the profit? Do you think that's possible?"

Half of the revenue generated by the Ten Thousand Years Artificial Soul and the Ten Thousand Beast Platform, Fors is really bold to say that!

Even Qiangu Dongfeng didn't dare to have this idea. Half? If 10% of the profit could go into the pockets of the Qiangu family, it would be enough for Qiangu Dongfeng to wake up with a smile in his dreams.

The artificial ten thousand year soul and the Ten Thousand Beast Platform are the projects of the entire Soul Transmission Tower. Once they are put on the market, the profits generated from them will of course be filled into the Soul Transmission Tower first, and then after some wrangling, the distribution rights will be finally decided.

Fors proposed this condition, clearly trying to embarrass her.

“Fors, I am discussing this issue with you very seriously. So, I hope you won’t make unrealistic requests. At most, I will give you half of my share of the profits.” Gu Yue looked at Fors and said very seriously.

"Give me half of your profits?" Fors gently curled her hair with her fingers and said curiously, "Compared to this, I am more curious about why you are so determined to promote artificial ten thousand year souls that you are even willing to give me half of your profits."

"For the sake of merit, I want to be promoted to one of the four great Spirit Transmission Envoys. I want to take over my master's position and become the deputy tower master of the Spirit Transmission Tower."

Facing Fors's question, Gu Yue responded calmly, "For this, I must accumulate enough merits, so that when my strength reaches the standard in the future, I can directly take up a higher position."

This was an excuse that Gu Yue had thought of a long time ago. She didn't mind exposing her ambition in front of Fors. After all, who doesn't want to improve their status?

Although she might be considered a snobbish woman, Gu Yue didn't care about Fors's opinion.

"I see." Fors nodded in understanding, "But the same question, what benefit can you give me?"

Gu Yue said calmly, "You can gain a potential ally. Fors, the birth of the ten thousand year old artificial soul is a necessity. No matter how you try to stop it, it will eventually be put on the market."

"I don't know how you got those congressmen to support you, but people are all made of flesh and blood. They may support you now, but what about over time? Can you guarantee that they won't have second thoughts?"

"Choose to cooperate with me now. With your influence and my power, the power of the entire Spirit Pagoda will be truly unified. As long as the ten thousand year old artificial souls are officially put on the market, the profits generated will be enough for our Spirit Pagoda to truly secure its position as the number one organization on the continent."

"When the Spirit Pagoda grows stronger, how about you and I compete together for the top position?"

In Gu Yue's opinion, since Fors chose to attend the meeting of the Spirit Pagoda, he was probably interested in the position of the Pagoda Master. After all, that position was truly above ten thousand people, so it was understandable that Fors would be interested.

The reason why he is stuck on the issue of artificial souls is simply because he is afraid that she will gain huge merits and popularity through the issue of artificial souls.

"Or, Fors, are you afraid that you won't be able to compete with me in the future?"

Gu Yue deliberately looked at Fors with a provocative look. After all, they were once classmates, so Gu Yue knew very well that although Fors looked lazy, she was extremely proud in her heart.

As long as he stimulated her at the right time, he would not be afraid that Fors would not take the bait.

“Oh~” Fors raised her eyebrows. Although she was not very interested in the position of the Spirit Pagoda Master, to be honest, Gu Yue’s words really succeeded in provoking her.

"I am very interested in your proposal, but I won't do anything that brings too little benefit." Fors looked at Gu Yuena and said calmly, "Half of your profit is not enough."

"Then what do you want to do?"

"I want……"

After a long conversation with Fors, the meeting ended unpleasantly.

"You can go back and think about my conditions. We can talk again when you've made up your mind. Goodbye." Fors sat on the sofa and said to Gu Yuena indifferently.

Gu Yuena looked at Fors with a cold expression. This discussion ended unpleasantly, mainly because Fors's request was a bit outrageous, so she refused.

But it didn't matter. Gu Yue could also see that Fors's attitude had softened a bit, and she was obviously somewhat moved by her previous proposal.

"Aponia." At this moment, Gu Yuena suddenly said a name to Fors.
