The entire night, the gifts received by the Northern Celestial Region filled a whole room, to the point that they could not be accommodated any longer.
Of course, the main event was still yet to come.
Sure enough, in the evening, Kang Sitong, the pavilion master, personally came to visit.
"Hahaha, Chen Shao, congratulations, congratulations!" As soon as he arrived, Kang Sitong laughed heartily, and in his hand appeared a true card, "Chen Shao, Master Xuanzheng, this is the 183.6 billion medium-grade true stones from your betting pool in this competition. According to the rules, our Wanbao Building was supposed to take a 10% handling fee, but this time, we will not take a single cent, and it will all be given to you, Chen Shao."
Kang Sitong said as he handed over the true card, which was a true stone card jointly issued by Wanbao Building and the Four Major Banks of the continent, capable of withdrawing true stones at any Wanbao Building or any of the Four Major Banks on the continent.
Master Xuanzheng was stunned, 183.6 billion medium-grade true stones, what kind of concept was that? Even he had never seen such a large amount of true stones before.
What shocked him even more was Kang Sitong's attitude towards Qin Chen; addressing him as Chen Shao, in terms of status, the pavilion master of Wanbao Building in Zhongzhou City was not inferior to him as the pavilion master of the Alchemy Pavilion of the Northern Celestial Region, and could even be said to be superior. How could he be so respectful to Qin Chen?
As far as he knew, this was Qin Chen's first time in Zhongzhou City, right? Moreover, the last time was just a brief meeting with Kang Sitong. Why was Kang Sitong acting as if he were seeing his long-lost father, becoming so courteous?
"Kang Pavilion Master, this won't do. Although this betting pool was opened by our Northern Celestial Region, your Wanbao Building also acted as a guarantor, so you should still take the handling fee as required," Qin Chen said with a smile as he took the true card. This amount of money was indeed substantial, but he did not take it too seriously.
"Hahaha." Kang Sitong waved his hands repeatedly, "Chen Shao, you jest. This time, we have to thank you. To be honest, although our Wanbao Building doesn't earn a single cent from this betting pool, in other pools we have made quite a bit. While it may not be as much as your nearly twenty million, it's still not far off. Hehe, it all belongs to our Wanbao Building."
Naturally, Wanbao Building would not only open a betting pool for Qin Chen. There were many buyers for the pools won by Ye Mo and others. After Qin Chen won the championship, all the betting pools of Wanbao Building were profitable, netting over ten million. How could Kang Sitong not be excited?
Upon hearing this, Qin Chen understood, "If that's the case, then this Young Master shall gladly accept it."
Qin Chen was not polite, and after accepting the true card, he smiled at Kang Sitong and said, "Kang Pavilion Master, I wonder how you feel about my last proposal now?"
"You’re referring to the transaction with the Northern Celestial Region, right? Rest assured, although I, Kang Sitong, am just a small branch pavilion master, I can make decisions regarding some transactions with the Alchemy City of the Northern Celestial Region. I’ve already arranged for my subordinates to gather resources before coming here, with the first batch of resources being, as you mentioned, worth a hundred billion high-grade true stones."
Not only was Qin Chen a black card VIP of Wanbao Building, but he was also the champion of the Four-Domains Grand Competition. The key was that at such a young age, he was already able to refine half-step Emperor Pills; how great would his future achievements be? Kang Sitong could hardly estimate.
For someone like him, he naturally wanted to build a good relationship.
"Good!" Qin Chen clapped his hands, "Kang Pavilion Master indeed speaks directly. This true card contains over ten million medium-grade true stones, so please deduct the initial funds from that. I can't let you suffer losses, and besides, I would like you to allocate five hundred billion medium-grade true stones to Master Xuanzheng. After all, Master Xuanzheng also took on quite a bit of responsibility by acting as a guarantor for this transaction."
