Interstellar Number One Farmer: I Only Want To Farm!-Chapter 358 - 113: Quibbling

Dealing with these committee members is really troublesome.

Even though time is pressing, they pretend not to care, with a look that says, ’I know you want this project, but we have to put on airs so you don’t think the money is easy to get.’

Projects like this are already expensive, yet they don’t want to pay, even Admiral Bai’s secretary can’t bear to look.

"If you’re gonna talk, then say it firmly. If not, just forget about it, and there’s no need for the competition either."

The committee staff looked quite aggrieved.

Under military pressure, the committee had to get to the point.

The leading committee member found it difficult to speak, as they hadn’t given much time. Once the task was assigned, it had to be done immediately, you couldn’t start working on it only after the bid was successful.

"The deadline is to complete within two months. We can announce the project within a week, so it’s best if you can come up with a proposal within a week."

Su Xiaocai smiled and said, "Is it still fifty million?"

That smile, no matter how you looked at it, didn’t seem friendly.

The committee whispered, "If you can complete it on time, the maximum is two hundred million."

Su Xiaocai pondered for a moment, raised her palm, and said, "Five hundred million. I’ll write five hundred million in the proposal. Whatever effect you want to achieve, just let me know. But there’s one point, the entrance fees and such, we’ll still collect them. You have the right to set an upper limit but can’t interfere with any external matters."

Hearing ’any matters,’ the secretary and the principal spoke in unison, afraid Su Xiaocai might get into trouble.

"No gambling."

"What do you take me for?" Su Xiaocai rolled her eyes, knowing that for official matters, she wouldn’t touch any of the three vices.

Admiral Bai’s secretary confirmed, "Your company can really complete this project in two months? How many people do you have? Delivery might require modifications, which means you should deliver at least half a month in advance."

"You don’t need to worry about that. I’ve already been working on this project," Su Xiaocai wasn’t lying. From the moment she thought about creating a play area for Xiao Wanzi, she had considered building an arena.

In fact, she wanted to build a simulation city for both humans and AI to play in.

The city would be fully equipped and could even be developed into a more fantastical metropolis.

AI could be integrated into it.

The scale of this simulation city was too large, so she only made a foundation.

If the committee was willing to fund it, then this simulation arena could be built in advance.

The committee was astonished, "Did you foresee our project in advance?"

"No," Su Xiaocai calmly replied, "It was originally to provide a place for my friends to practice and play."

If you guys want to be the suckers, she might as well take on the project, right?

"Pfft!" The principal spat out his tea again, the tea spilled on the table, and he quickly used a tissue to wipe it, "Sorry, my apologies, please continue."

The committee was speechless; the reason seemed too far-fetched. They didn’t believe it and turned to look at the calm Admiral Bai’s secretary.

Admiral Bai’s secretary shrugged, "Even if you suspect something outrageous like her being reborn, you can’t doubt our integrity. We haven’t said anything to her."

Su Xiaocai seriously said, "You don’t believe me? I really thought about building an arena for my friends to play. I’m not a traditional businessperson."

The more she spoke, the harder it was to believe, but the two-month timeframe really was pressing.

The committee and the military both wanted to choose talents before summer vacation.

The committee didn’t want to be eliminated, so they had to hold the event early.

The military wanted to recruit talent; they hoped to attract more geniuses among ordinary people.

If the country didn’t want to decay, it had to use more ordinary people, it was inevitable.

Only by involving everyone could everyone supervise.

Committee member: "Give us a moment to discuss."

Then they walked away to report back on Extraordinary Island Company’s opinion.

They had also notified other companies about this project, and many major companies expressed interest in taking it on, but they quoted higher prices.

Su Xiaocai only asked for five hundred million, which made them hesitate.

"Hmm, decide quickly, I still need to check on the vegetable garden later," Su Xiaocai said calmly as she strolled to the principal’s collection cabinet, asking for some tea leaves to brew tea.

The principal twitched his mouth, the tea leaves Su Xiaocai pointed at were his treasures.

Not only were they great to drink, but they were also hard to find.

In front of so many people, he didn’t want to kill the mood, he squeezed out, "You little rascal, always picking my good stuff."

"I bring glory to the school," Su Xiaocai whispered to the principal, "If I take on the task, can you give me some leeway? Some teachers’ classes, I don’t want to attend, can credits, points, and scholarships still count?"
