Chapter 2204: Local Tycoon Wants to Provide Support (2)
“You bought these metals?” Gege Lu was a little disbelieving. He indeed wondered if it was from a member of the guild, but he never thought it would be Little Xiao.
It hadn’t been long since Momo Xiao had joined their guild, it never crossed his mind that she would do anything for the guild. In addition, Shen Yanxiao was always either in the library or in the laboratory. Except when she showed up to apply for the materials she would use, Gege Lu basically had little contact with Shen Yanxiao.
“Yes.” Shen Yanxiao nodded her head.
Unable to become an unsung hero, she was a bit embarrassed.
“No! You have to return these metals! ” Gege Lu’s expression changed at once and he said solemnly, “Our guild doesn’t need to squeeze its members’ money yet.”
Gege Lu was pleased that Shen Yanxiao was willing to pay for the guild, but he could not accept Shen Yanxiao’s good intentions.
To get funding from a member who had just joined the guild for less than ten days, Gege Lu was not so shameless.
Shen Yanxiao did use a lot of rare metals, but compared with these, it was just a drop in the ocean.
Shen Yanxiao sighed, “President, please do not refuse these metals, these metals are not for you, but for myself and the other members. As a member of the Alchemist Guild, I do not have the right to freely waste the resources of the guild.”
Shen Yanxiao realized Gege Lu’s stubbornness for real. He would rather sell his precious treasure humanoid machine than take a gold coin from the members. This persistence alone made Shen Yanxiao admire him incomparably.
“No! All this money is your hard work. Momo Xiao, I am very moved by your practice, but I do not want you to exchange your alchemy products for money. For us alchemists, every alchemy product is our hard work; no one will be willing to sell them.” Gege Lu still insisted.
Shen Yanxiao was slightly stupefied. She casually chuckled and said, “President, you misunderstood. These aren’t from the money I earned from selling alchemy products. You should know very well that the things I am creating are not very popular on the market; even if I take out all my works during this period, I wouldn’t be able to earn a little money. It’s just the money I made from my hobby, even if I hadn’t bought these metals, I would still sell those things.”
Gege Lu was startled.
To tell the truth, he was surprised that Shen Yanxiao had so much money. After all, the price of so much metal must be so high that even if he sold Lulu, Gege Lu felt that he might still not be able to afford it.
“President, the guild belongs to all of us. We all enjoy the benefits of the guild. It is also right to pay a little for the guild. You should not refuse any more, President. I will use these things in the future, and so will everyone. Don’t you want us to have better achievements in alchemy in the future?” Shen Yanxiao aimed at Gege Lu’s thinking. She knew that he was a very impartial president and he was devoted to the welfare of the members of the guild. So starting with that was just right.
Sure enough, Shen Yanxiao’s words rendered Gege Lu silent.
It was not that he did not know how bad the guild was right now; he also knew that the members were using low-grade metals as much as possible in order to reduce expenses. But the spirituality of low-grade metals was so poor that they were basically unable to do anything good. This was why there hadn’t been a birth of humanoid machines with more than three stars for a long time in Puko’s Alchemist Guild.
