15 million!

Even though Ye Xiu's heart skipped a beat when he heard the number, his extremely strong mental fortitude prevented him from even raising an eyebrow. However, as someone familiar with the pro scene, he knew what this price tag meant in the Glory circle.

In fact, the Glory pro scene had developed relatively recently, so there weren't many monetary transactions in the transfer market. The major clubs all preferred direct swaps.

Player for player.

Character for character.

Or player for character.

Bundling players and characters to trade for strong players or characters.

There were all sorts of methods. As long as both sides felt they weren't losing out, they could swap however they liked. As for throwing money around for player or character transfers, that only gradually appeared in recent years as clubs became more prosperous. This was because more people realized the market involved, whether it was investment, shares, or advertising agreements, all of which brought more and more revenue to the clubs, and the tactic of throwing money around in trades gradually flourished.

Currently, the player with the highest transfer value in the Glory circle was Sun Xiang, who joined Excellent Era in the winter transfer window this season for 7 million. As for character transfers, there had only been some small-scale activity. God-level characters were all passed down from the very beginning of the clubs and never moved, so they wouldn't be sold easily. There had been some early on, but those were when the early team owners couldn't keep their teams running and had no choice but to disband and sell off their characters. But that was early on, and it was a fire sale, so the prices were too embarrassing to mention.

Now, the pro scene was stable, and the teams that owned God-level characters wouldn't be weak. For a team like that to be run into the ground, or even have their performance be so bad that they were relegated like Excellent Era, would be called a miracle.

Even though no trades had happened, that didn't stop people from gossiping and discussing the value of each character.

Right now, One Autumn Leaf, the Battle God character with the most halos, was still the number one Glory character in many people's minds. Everyone generally felt that you couldn't just throw over ten million at this character, otherwise you'd be doing a disservice to all those halos.

Besides that, the ones with intimidating names like Boxing Emperor, Sword Saint, and Gun King were all top-tier characters in Glory, and their estimated prices were also around ten million.

But estimates were estimates. When it actually came to trading, everyone would negotiate, and the final transfer price might not necessarily match the market value. Everyone was clear on this. Anyway, everyone gossiped just for fun. However, these prices reflected each character's status in the players' minds to some extent.

15 million! In the Glory circle, that meant you could pick any God-level character and the other side would have to give you change.

Was the value of the skill points that Ye Xiu brought to Samsara comparable to having another God-level character?

How should this be measured? That was what the Samsara guild had been discussing overnight. The 15 million was the price that the Samsara manager came up with after seeing the final results of the inspection and discussing the previous night's discussion.

He had spoken. Now, it was up to Ye Xiu to answer.

Ye Xiu? His expression didn't change, and he was also weighing the number in his heart.

This trade had no reference, but with Ye Xiu's pro God status, there was a numerical value that could be used to measure his worth with some confidence.

How many skills could be strengthened by increasing all of the team's characters' skill points so much? What benefits would it bring on the field?

If the team had another God-level character on the field, what kind of changes could it bring and what kind of improvements could it make?

Consider the revenue from winning the championship and the attention generated by the fame of a God-level character! Ye Xiu wasn't sure how to measure the value of these things, but he was definitely an expert on improving strength on the field.

Considering only this, Ye Xiu felt that the price of 15 million was not inappropriate.

So Ye Xiu nodded. The Samsara manager had just breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Ye Xiu say, "15 million, is that not a buyout?"

The Samsara manager had just relaxed and wanted to take a sip of tea, but he spat it back into the cup. He almost spat out a few mouthfuls of blood as well.

"What are you joking about!" The Samsara manager was a little anxious.

You want to raise the price, just say so properly! You're actually saying that this price isn't a buyout. This is simply asking for the moon.

"I think a buyout would be a bit short," Ye Xiu said unhurriedly.

The Samsara manager realized that he had lost his composure a little just now. After calming down, he put the tea cup he had spat into aside, "Then what do you say?"

"30 million!" Ye Xiu said.

If they weren't so unfamiliar, the Samsara manager would have wanted to kick this guy.

Last night, they held an emergency meeting to fully calculate the possible benefits of this transaction. Taking into account all aspects and possible risks, 30 million could only appear with an absolute guarantee.

What was an absolute guarantee?

For example, if they took this and were guaranteed to win the league championship, then 30 million would be fine.

Such a guarantee was impossible, so 30 million was also impossible.

"God Ye, come on, let's calculate it properly." The Samsara manager said, determined to show Ye Xiu clearly what 30 million meant, and make this guy who was asking for the moon feel ashamed.

But Ye Xiu didn't intend to listen to his calculations at all, and just said regretfully, "What, is it not possible?"

"Of course not!" The Samsara manager didn't even think about it. "Even if we take this, it's not like we're guaranteed to get the championship! Besides, even though the data is real, who can say for sure about probability? What if our Samsara is so unlucky that we don't get a single skill book after completing the quest? In that case, don't even mention 15 million, even giving you 150,000 would be a loss!"

"You're actually saying such unlucky things, are you a spy?" Ye Xiu said.

"I'm just giving an example..." The Samsara manager didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "The example is a bit extreme, so let's take a normal situation, completely data-driven, which is the result we saw together before. Even with that result, God Ye, you can definitely see the improvement to the team at a glance. If we convert this improvement into a character trade, how much would we have to invest? If you don't know much about the current market situation, I can calculate it for you. Let's take..."

"Alright, alright, stop calculating. I admit that 30 million was a joke," Ye Xiu said. The Samsara manager had just breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect Ye Xiu to continue, "But you also have to admit that 15 million is also a bit of a joke."

"How is 15 million a joke!" The Samsara manager was anxious. "Let me calculate it for you."

"Why do you always want to calculate? Were you calculating this all night yesterday?" Ye Xiu said.

The Samsara manager was stunned. Don't mention it, they really had been calculating this all night yesterday...

"We're clearly very clear-headed people in the industry. If we really had to calculate who's right and who's wrong, do you think 15 million is really very reliable?" Ye Xiu said.

"How is it not reliable?" The Samsara manager said anxiously.

"22 million then!" Ye Xiu said.

"What?" The Samsara manager was stunned.

"30 million is a joke, and 15 million is too. Then let's each retreat halfway, which should be 22.5 million. I'm being more generous, so I'll give you an extra 500,000, so let's just make it 22 million!" Ye Xiu said.

"22 million is reliable?" The Samsara manager said.

"You don't think it's reliable?" Ye Xiu said.

"Not reliable at all!" The Samsara manager said.

"How about we find someone to evaluate it and see?" Ye Xiu said.

"Find someone to evaluate it?"

"Like Tyranny, Blue Rain, Tiny Herb, or something," Ye Xiu said.

"..." The Samsara manager panicked a little, but he was extremely annoyed by Ye Xiu's coercion. He still had to argue a few more sentences, "Each team has its own situation. Maybe their team's character quests are cleared cleanly, so this thing you're giving us would be worthless!"

"Worthless? Are you kidding me? Just to ensure that other teams don't get this thing and strengthen their strength, it can't be worthless. Wherever you go, you can get a buyout price for this. In any case, a buyout is only beneficial and not harmful. Take your Samsara for example, what do you need skill points for? No, what you need is an advantage. To get an advantage, a buyout is imperative. Just for this, you naturally need to pay more," Ye Xiu said.

"22 million is too much," the Samsara manager said.

"Then what do you think?" Ye Xiu asked.

"18 million," the Samsara manager finally loosened his grip on the price of 15 million.

"21 million!" Ye Xiu said.

"Is this interesting?" The Samsara manager didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This was a big deal, okay? Don't haggle like you're buying vegetables at the market, adding or subtracting a penny or two. We're adding or subtracting millions, so you have to say the reason for adding or subtracting. Without a reason, who would give you a few million for no reason?

"Okay, okay, 20 million. I know you can definitely accept this price," Ye Xiu said.

"20 million..." The Samsara manager was a little depressed.

In fact, 20 million was a relatively matching amount that they had measured, but no one would show their hand right from the start, right? Samsara would of course deliberately underreport a little and said 15 million. The Samsara manager was quite confident in the negotiation. Because he felt that Ye Xiu would only know the strength that the skill points improved, and all the other benefits that might result from the improved strength, let alone Ye Xiu, even he, the manager, couldn't easily calculate.

So he felt that if he calculated it with Ye Xiu, it would be easy for him to accept that 15 million was a very reasonable price. If that didn't work, adding one or two million more should be enough to deal with it.

Who knew that Ye Xiu wouldn't listen to his calculations at all, and just insisted that 15 million was too little. He would threaten them with 30 million, and then use other teams to coerce them. The Samsara manager wasn't trash either. He could see that Ye Xiu probably didn't have a very clear idea of how much it was actually worth. This guy just instinctively felt that 15 million was definitely too little, so he instinctively looked for reasons to raise the price, and he was also bold, not afraid of being laughed at. He would launch a critical strike to raise the price, treating 15 million like 15 yuan, and directly multiply it by 2.

The Samsara manager was in tears! He felt that he had lost on this point. He was reserved and kind... Why didn't he just shamelessly shrink the price by 5 million right from the start?

"20 million... just 20 million..." The Samsara manager finally nodded helplessly.
