Tianyun Lao Mao
Chapter 1302 An Outrageous Demand
"Let me join the Bai Hu Martial Arts Center?" Shi Feng couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
It wasn't uncommon, even very common, for martial arts centers and training centers to poach talent, but this poaching generally only existed for students. It was rare to poach coaches. After all, a coach in a martial arts center or training center was already considered a mid-level backbone. The cost of poaching was much higher than for students, and unlike students, they wouldn't participate in competitions and bring honor to the martial arts center or training center, so it was rarely done, let alone for him, the head coach.
If the position offered was too low, it wouldn't work at all. But giving a corresponding position, the higher-ups of the Bai Hu Martial Arts Center probably wouldn't agree.
After all, the Bai Hu Martial Arts Center was a top-tier martial arts center. The number of head coaches was limited, and each one was part of the core. This involved a considerable amount of vested interest, not to mention poaching from a training center like Bei Dou, which had only been established recently. It was undoubtedly an extremely crazy move.
"That's right, I hope you can join, but not as a coach of the Bai Hu Martial Arts Center, but as a coach to teach combat in God's Domain," Jiang Tianyuan slowly said. "Now God's Domain is becoming more and more popular, and our Bai Hu Martial Arts Center also wants to get a piece of the pie, but the combat in God's Domain is ultimately somewhat different from real combat. So, we want to invite some God's Domain experts to teach. I heard that your Zero Wing Guild is very good at training experts, so we want to hire you as a God's Domain coach. Of course, the待遇 (dàiyù - treatment; pay and perks) is the same as a senior coach at the Bai Hu Martial Arts Center."
As a top martial arts center, the Bai Hu Martial Arts Center had many coaches, but senior coaches were very rare. Each one was a Dark Energy expert, someone even the head of the center had to value, and the benefits they enjoyed were envied by countless experts.
The conditions Jiang Tianyuan offered surprised the four bodyguards beside him.
Although they were bodyguards, they were experts from the Black Eagle Alliance. Their understanding of the Bai Hu Martial Arts Center far exceeded what ordinary people knew. They were very clear about how powerful a senior coach of the Bai Hu Martial Arts Center was. Even the backbone of their Black Eagle Alliance had to give them some face, and sometimes they even had to ask these senior coaches to coach the Black Eagle Alliance's people. This depended on whether the other party was willing...
It was hard to imagine that a young man in his early twenties was actually being hired as a senior coach of the Bai Hu Martial Arts Center.
"Forget about the senior coach, are there any other benefits?" Shi Feng shook his head. He wasn't very interested in the identity of a senior coach at the Bai Hu Martial Arts Center. This identity was good for those who wanted to become famous and expand their network, but it was meaningless to him.
"Other benefits?" Jiang Tianyuan looked at Shi Feng in surprise and asked curiously, "What do you want?"
The identity of a senior coach was a good opportunity to make a name for oneself. Many people sought it but couldn't get it, but now Shi Feng didn't want it...
"S-grade nutrient solution or Mind Nourishing Tea will do," Shi Feng thought for a moment and said. "The specific number of bottles depends on the number of people being taught. Roughly, one bottle for every twenty people, to ensure they reach at least the fifth floor of the Trial Tower in a short period."
Whether it was the S-grade nutrient solution or Mind Nourishing Tea, both were of great help in nurturing guild experts, and they were much more practical than the identity of a senior coach.
Moreover, Stone Forest Town had an arena, which was the fastest place to train experts. Plus, being able to become a student of the Bai Hu Martial Arts Center meant they already had a good foundation. It wouldn't be too difficult to become an expert above the fifth floor of the Trial Tower in a short time.
As soon as Shi Feng finished speaking, the four bodyguards rolled their eyes at Shi Feng.
It was as if they were robbing someone; S-grade nutrient solutions cost one million credits per bottle on the market. He wanted one million credits just to train twenty game experts. The Black Eagle Alliance spent less than one million credits per month to hire senior coaches to train two or three hundred elites. He wanted one bottle of S-grade nutrient solution for twenty people. It was really no different from robbing someone.
"Your price is too high," Jiang Tianyuan frowned slightly. He also knew a bit about God's Domain, and he was very clear about what level an expert who had reached the fifth floor was in God's Domain. Moreover, the disciples of their Bai Hu Martial Arts Center were originally combat experts. Even if they explored on their own, reaching the fifth floor wouldn't be a problem. "I can offer at most one bottle per hundred people. Five hundred people in the initial stage, for a month, and they must reach at least the sixth floor of the Trial Tower."
"It's too difficult to reach the sixth floor in a month. If you want all five hundred people to reach it, you'll need at least fifty bottles of S-grade nutrient solution. Otherwise, Guild Master Jiang can only find someone else," Shi Feng didn't expect Jiang Tianyuan to be quite knowledgeable, but not knowledgeable enough. Reaching the sixth floor of the Trial Tower was the level of an expert in a first-rate guild. Even with a good foundation, it would take a lot of time to hone their skills, unless some people were exceptionally talented, but it was impossible for everyone to be exceptionally talented.
Moreover, the resources invested in five hundred people would be very astonishing. Back then, the Blackwater Consortium didn't know how much manpower, material resources, and time they had spent to cultivate a large number of experts. Now, the Bai Hu Martial Arts Center was only giving S-grade nutrient solutions. Without any resource support in God's Domain, how could one bottle be enough for a hundred people? If they did that, they would probably lose everything.
Jiang Tianyuan fell silent for a moment, looking at Shi Feng, who wasn't giving an inch.
"We can't take out so many S-grade nutrient solutions. At most ten bottles. The rest can be paid in credits," Jiang Tianyuan took a step back and said.
S-grade nutrient solutions were also very precious to the Bai Hu Martial Arts Center. Every time the national competition started, a large number of S-grade nutrient solutions had to be consumed, not to mention the world competition. They didn't have many to spare.
"I only accept S-grade nutrient solutions and Mind Nourishing Tea. If Guild Master Jiang has difficulty deciding right now, you can go back and discuss it," Shi Feng said firmly.
If it was credits, he could get them himself. Moreover, the city was under construction. Once it was built, the potential of the virtual industry would explode, and credits would be coming in in large sums.
"Okay, I'll go back and discuss it, but the result may not be too optimistic," Jiang Tianyuan couldn't help but sigh.
Then, Shi Feng left the reception room.
Just after Shi Feng left, another person walked into the room on the other side of the reception room. This man had a face like the stars and the moon. He was wearing a black and white martial robe, giving people an indescribable sense of kindness. The moment he entered the room, it felt like the entire reception room was revolving around this person.
"Guild Master, this kid is too ungrateful. It's one thing that he doesn't appreciate you taking the initiative to invite him, but he even dares to demand a high price. Why don't I go to the Bei Dou Training Center and teach him a lesson?" the man said with a slightly annoyed tone.
"Forget it, I was just saying it. Even if he agreed, I don't know if the head guild master would agree in the end. After all, the other guild masters have also recommended many people," Jiang Tianyuan shook his head indifferently. "However, the obstruction here in Jin Hai City is not good for our Bai Hu Martial Arts Center's next development plan. From now on, you will replace Qi Wen. Tianji, you must find a way to improve the Bai Hu Martial Arts Center's reputation as soon as possible, and also let the first batch of students enter God's Domain to see what's going on, so that they won't know nothing when the time comes."
"Don't worry, Guild Master, I've already arranged everything. Moreover, each student is equipped with an advanced virtual helmet, and advanced students are also equipped with a virtual reality pod. Before the other guild masters even start to act, we're probably already standing firm in God's Domain," the man called Tianji smiled and said.
On the other side, Shi Feng returned to the Greenwater Villa and immediately logged into God's Domain.
He had only just begun to get a clue about the Tier 1 class change quest, and Xing Huo's challenge had too much of an impact. If he didn't accept the challenge, he would probably become the laughingstock of White River City. At that time, the Bei Dou Training Center would also be affected. He didn't want to let a good situation be ruined like this.
