Interstellar Number One Farmer: I Only Want To Farm!-Chapter 357 - 113: Quibbling

The upper levels of the organizing committee prefer large companies, but in terms of overall capability, Extraordinary Island is indeed more remarkable in technology.

"For these two competitions, you can set up entrance tickets, and the proceeds from the tickets are all yours. But there is one thing: your servers must cover more than eighty percent of the planets in the Ten Stars System. This will ensure that students from most planets can participate."

The military personnel hesitated to speak.

They didn’t mean it; they were simply recommending this company, hoping that in the future, Extraordinary Island could collaborate with the committee for mutual benefit.

The competition preparations are running out of time; everyone knows that the servers of Extraordinary Island are very unique—they require time to produce, let alone set up.

Is the committee saying this to dissuade Extraordinary Island from participating?

Then what is the point of them rushing over here?

Su Xiaocai remained calm, understanding that perhaps Admiral Bai is overly enthusiastic about it. "So your committee thought of using the trick to get something for nothing, making us retreat in the face of difficulties?"

The committee dared not directly admit that this was true.

But it was not entirely wrong. They came for two reasons, which contradicted each other.

One was to make Extraordinary Island retreat.

The other was the genuine intention of getting this project underway.

The reason is simple: military oversight personnel joined the committee members this time. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

The opinions within the committee are divided into two groups.

One group wants to maintain the traditional competition format.

The other wants innovation to select more talent.

The two sides hold opposing views.

As subordinates, they contemplated day and night and came up with this method.

They spoke the truth to Su Xiaocai; only the game mechanism and environment of Extraordinary Island meet their competition environment requirements.

Giving Extraordinary Island an impossible task.

If under such circumstances, Extraordinary Island agrees to bid.

Then the committee must establish the project and publicly bid for it.

It’s a way for them to show the military and senior figures in the committee.

Ultimately, success or failure depends on Extraordinary Island itself.

After all, in a public bid, under the watch of everyone, the quality of the product cannot be faked.

A committee member said: "If you need military servers and equipment, the military can provide them.

They think that once the virtual competition venue is created, the primary beneficiary will be Su Xiaocai. After the product is made, she can continue operating it.

Getting something for nothing was also double-standardized as providing Su Xiaocai with a money-making opportunity.

"Hah."

Yu Haoming couldn’t help but laugh; everyone looked at him. He is a homebody, not socially anxious.

He is the general manager of the company, considering the company’s interest, "Let’s not talk about what five thousand can do. You came urgently, so the time given must be limited."

Admiral Bai’s secretary curled up his lips, knowing that the young person Admiral Bai appreciated wouldn’t be easily swayed by the committee’s "surprise."

If it were any ordinary small company, they would work overtime and take out loans to secure the project first. If they couldn’t deliver, they’d delegate it to another company. They’d fight to earn the honor first and make a name.

The reason he was sent here is to watch over Su Xiaocai, preventing the committee from taking excessive advantage.

Upper management undoubtedly allocated substantial funds; the committee doesn’t want to take them out, but do they want to line their own pockets?

Admiral Bai’s secretary tapped the table, "I don’t know what you say internally. Our military only requires that the quality of the virtual venue is up to standard and can genuinely select talent. We don’t want to use intermediaries for the project nor wish to use your outdated selection methods. If you have better screening methods, we’re indifferent, but it must be conducted under our watch."

The military is warning the committee not to use their old, ineffective ways, which the military won’t tolerate.

They want to select people through open auditions. Only competing between schools—what’s the point? They want to select young people with potential from the public, not just those picked by schools.

Who wouldn’t know how to manipulate behind the scenes?

In the military, the top level almost consists of people backed by powerful forces. If it continues, wouldn’t it develop into regional warlordism, failing against the Insect Man and instead causing internal strife?

None of the five Admirals want to see such a situation occur.

The committee members were at a loss for words.

They didn’t mean it, but past project negotiations always went this way.

I pressure the price, you raise the price.

Both sides maintain face, then negotiate the price in the next round. It’s a normal process.

Admiral Bai’s secretary crossed his arms, his face dark.

He couldn’t be bothered to waste time with the committee; the Ten Stars competition was already in a hurry to be held.

They still wanted to bicker with Extraordinary Island, unaware of what was going on.

"Unless you develop a better plan to involve more students from the Ten Stars System, can’t you do something more tangible? Is this how the committee operates?"
