Chapter 758 Transaction
The seven people present were not ordinary people. Needless to say, the other five are the leaders of the five most powerful countries on earth. Xu Xina is also Luo Feng's wife. She often uses the virtual universe network and knows a lot about the universe. Luo Hua has been paralyzed for more than ten years, and his hobby is "financial stock trading and the like" that tests people's human nature. When encountering this kind of thing, he is naturally very calm.
"Excuse me, who are you?" Among the five leaders, the President of the United States was the first to ask.
"I am just the captain of a very ordinary adventure team in the universe." Tuo Leiwu smiled and spoke the universal language of the universe, "I want to ask you, when your earth was attacked by the Devouring Beast... you won't forget it, right? "
All seven people nodded slightly.
"Very good, very cooperative."
Tuo Leiwu nodded, "Where is the body of the Devouring Beast?"
There was a trace of doubt in the eyes of the seven people present. Tuo Leiwu frowned when he saw this: "Rongzhi, you come to hypnotize them and ask them. Remember, especially that woman and that young man, don't hurt their brains." Memory. I will ask them to contact the Earth Lord ‘Luo Feng’ later.”
"Don't worry." Another captain smiled slightly.
The invisible power of thought quickly penetrated everyone's consciousness, and then began to ask...
"What's going on? No one knows?"
"Luo Feng's wife doesn't know either!"
The expressions of the four captains including Tuo Leiwu changed. They were on Earth and their goal was to find the corpse of the Devouring Beast!
"Wake up!" Rong Zhi shouted.
The seven people were all awake. They looked at each other, their expressions changing slightly.
"Mrs. Luo, I want you to enter the virtual universe network immediately. I will also accompany you." Tuo Leiwu said in a low voice, "If you don't agree, you should know that many people will die. I believe that you will definitely agree... "
Xu Xin took a deep breath and nodded slightly.
No choice!
Facing this cosmic adventure team that can capture the leaders of the five powerful countries with just a few clicks, Xu Xin has no ability to resist.
Hargrave took a deep breath, stood up, and left the conference room with Gutman and went to the corridor outside.
Buzz!
The white silent barrier opened, covering the figures of Hargrave and Gutman.
"Gutman, what do you think?" Hargrave spoke slowly, his face more solemn than ever before, even more than when he faced two world lord-level powerhouses alone on the battlefield not long ago.
Gutman let out a long sigh: "I will see it as you see it. I don't know where the Starry Sky Office came from. Is it a force from the Qianwu Universe Country?"
Hargrave shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Before coming here, you should have investigated the Starry Sky Office. They are an arms company that was recently established in our Black Dragon Mountain Empire."
"And they sell two-way foil."
"Even in the Qianwu Universe Country, it is a strange thing that has never been heard of!"
Gutmann nodded slowly.
Not only are two-dimensional foils powerful, they are also cheap and may even be mass-produced.
Even in Ganwu Universe Country, I have never heard of such a thing.
Even ordinary people can kill world lord level experts in large numbers as long as they press the release button.
If the Qianwu Universe Country had such a weapon, it would have become famous throughout the universe. Not only the human race would pursue it, but other races would also come here to purchase it in large quantities.
"We may have inadvertently been involved in an unimaginable whirlpool." Gutman said with a solemn expression.
"Yes!" Hargrave was convinced.
He paused for a moment and then got to the point of the conversation: "I think, let's just pretend we've never been here and spend 40 trillion yuan to buy a piece of two-way foil and go back for business. No one will buy two-way foil again in the future. How about that?"
"Just... pay the protection fee."
Hargrave looked humiliated.
As a member of the royal family of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, he is also a powerful Realm Lord-level expert with hundreds of life planets under his name, so his status is not disrespectful.
However, he had to compromise today to prevent the Black Dragon Mountain Empire from slipping into the bottomless pit of war.
"I think it's fine." Gutman looked depressed, "Forty trillion cosmic coins should be considered as protection fees. Let's just pretend we don't know about the existence of the Starry Sky Office."
Forty trillion universe coins!
It was equivalent to the entire property of four ordinary realm masters. Even if he came on behalf of the Nine-headed Dragon Empire and used public funds, he would still be unable to bear such a huge loss.
My heart is bleeding!
However, the two-way foil has an unstoppable killing effect on the world lord-level powerhouses, and can also destroy key buildings.
If it is used to assassinate enemy genius world masters, such as those super geniuses who are expected to become immortal beings, or it can be used to destroy certain military locations.
Maybe you can still make money!
Thinking of this, the depression on Gutman's face faded a little, and his face was not as ugly as it was at first.
"Then it's settled." Hargrave paused, "But there's one more thing. How can we be sure that the other party didn't secretly come to the Starry Sky Office to buy two-way foil at a low price?"
Gutman was slightly startled.
"I guarantee with my personal reputation and the credibility of the Nine-headed Dragon Empire royal family, as long as you don't come to the Starry Sky Office to buy two-way foil, we will never come." He said firmly.
Hargrave nodded, and he said calmly: "Then I also guarantee with my personal reputation and the credibility of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire royal family, as long as you don't come to the Starry Sky Office to buy the two-way foil, we won't come either. "
Gutman:
Personal reputation and royal credibility may be very convincing in ordinary times.
But what does it matter in the face of national crisis?
Nothing!
What should we do? Gutman's eyebrows gradually twisted together.
Whatever he said, Hargrave would not believe it, and similarly, Hargrave would not easily believe him.
In fact, even he himself could not be sure whether the Nine-Headed Dragon Empire behind him would recognize what he promised to Hargrave here.
This is a crisis of trust.
And this crisis may directly lead the two empires to enter the two-dimensional foil arms race and gradually evolve into the fuse of the war of annihilation.
"What do you say?" Gutman frowned.
Hargrave was silent.
He had no idea either.
At this time, Gutman said again: "There is another question. We don't know yet whether the Star Office will only sell the two-dimensional foil to us, or whether it has already sold it to other countries around us?"
Hargrave felt cold in his heart.
He had just considered this issue, but he didn't dare to think deeply.
Imagine if the Star Office had already sold the two-dimensional foil to other countries around it, or if there was a plan to sell the two-dimensional foil to other countries around it.
Even if he and Gutman reached a gentleman's agreement here and promised not to buy two-dimensional foil, what would be the result?
It's equivalent to tying one's own hands and feet!
When others have a large amount of cheaply purchased two-dimensional foil, they don't, which is tantamount to self-destruction!
Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!
Hargreve and Gutman fell into silence and couldn't speak for a while.
What can I do?
"I have to contact the empire. I can't make the decision on this matter alone." Hargreve looked dejected, his voice was a little unwilling, but also a little relieved.
On the one hand, as a powerful world master, he has the final say in the country.
The reason why he was sent by the Black Dragon Mountain Empire to the Star Office to buy two-dimensional foil as a representative is because of this.
But now, he has to admit that his ability is limited and he can't make such a major decision. He can only ask the empire for help and kick the ball to the entire empire's top leaders.
But in contrast, he doesn't have to use his brain anymore.
This matter will be decided by all the top leaders of the empire, and he only needs to implement the final decision here.
"Me too, I can't make the decision anymore, I need to contact the Empire." Gutman said in a deep voice.
He thought, if he had known it was such a hot potato, he would not have rushed to come, let alone bring Luoshashan with him.
The competition for the throne of the Empire is fierce.
Luoshashan took on such an important task, but did not make any achievements. He will definitely be ridiculed when he returns, which will bring considerable obstacles to Luoshashan's succession to the throne.
Gutman's eyes became gloomy
Hargreve closed the silent barrier and returned to the conference room with Gutman.
"Dear Representative Luo Feng, the two of us cannot make such a major decision. Please let us return to the spacecraft and use the communication equipment on the spacecraft to discuss with our Empire."
Hargreve put his attitude very low, and his words were full of pleading.
Luo Feng nodded slightly: "Okay."
He was not worried that Hargreve would not buy the two-dimensional foil after discussing with Gutman.
Because this is impossible.
If they don't buy the two-dimensional foil, the Star Office will not make money. The Star Office can dump the two-dimensional foil to one of the countries at a very low price.
It can easily break their fragile agreement.
In this unequal transaction, the two empires have no dominance, and all dominance is in the hands of the Star Office.
Even the price of the two-dimensional foil has to be raised by the two empires, and then the Star Office nods.
The understanding stopped temporarily.
Hargrave took the ninth princess Brolin, and Gutman took the eldest prince Luoshashan, and hurriedly left the conference room, walked along the corridor to the spacecraft landing platform, took the small spacecraft provided by the Star Office, and returned to their respective warships.
The atmosphere was extremely depressing, and neither side said a word.
After returning to the battleship, Brolin finally couldn't help it. She asked Hargrave in a sweet voice: "Grandpa, what's going on? Why don't you buy 5 trillion pieces of two-dimensional foil? Why does it increase to 40 trillion?"
"In that case, even if the empire is mobilized, I'm afraid it won't be able to buy a few pieces, right?"
Brolin's eyes were full of doubts.
With her experience, she couldn't see the danger in this transaction.
Hargrave sighed: "Brolin, you are still young, it's normal that you can't understand the cause and effect of things, but if you want to inherit the throne, you have to open up the pattern and look ahead."
"You have to see the entire empire and the future of the empire!"
Brolin nodded as if she understood.
She still didn't understand what Hargrave meant. It sounded like there was indeed something else going on.
"The net worth of a realm master is about 10 trillion universe coins. If a two-dimensional foil only sells for 5 trillion universe coins, in order to defeat the opponent, we and the Nine-Headed Dragon Empire will buy a large amount of two-dimensional foil."
"By then, all realm master-level strongmen will be in danger."
Hargrave's face became uglier and uglier.
"Not only that, in some large battlefields, just one two-dimensional foil can clear the field and greatly hit the enemy's manpower!"
"For example, you, Brolin."
"If the enemy finds out about you and launches a two-dimensional foil at you, you will have no power to resist and will die on the spot!"
Brolin was stunned.
"The death of a large number of strong men and geniuses will bring about the dusk of the entire empire."
"We are equal in strength to the Kuzuryu Empire."
"Even if we are lucky enough to defeat the Nine-headed Dragon Empire in the end, how much power can we retain?"
"It's just making wedding clothes for other people."
"Do you understand now?"
Hargrave looked Brolin directly in the eyes.
Brolin nodded and said uncertainly: "The reason why the price of two-way foil needs to be increased is because the two-way foil is too cheap and will pose an immeasurable threat to the empire?"
Hargrave showed a childish expression, and he said happily: "That's it."
Brolin's eyes lit up, she showed an expression of disbelief, and said loudly: "I understand, the price of the two-way foil is too low, it is not a magic weapon for the two empires, but a life-threatening talisman!"
Hargrave nodded.
Brolin's voice trembled as she added: "Only by increasing the price of two-way foil and making it something that both empires cannot afford, can the current situation be maintained from deterioration."
Oh my God! how so?
She still remembered that the purpose of coming to the Starry Sky Office this time was to buy more two-way foil to suppress the Nine-headed Dragon Empire.
But bewilderedly, neither of the two empires dared to buy it!
No one dares to start this!
No one wants to embark on a super battlefield that spans countless time and has an uncertain future!
The Starry Sky Office grasped the mentality of the two empires and borrowed the words of the representatives of the two empires to propose a price increase.
A two-way foil, forty trillion universe coins!
After the two-way foil reached such a sky-high price, even if the two empires gritted their teeth and bought a few each, it would not have an irreversible impact on the overall situation.
"It's too scary!" Brolin's face turned pale. "We shouldn't have come here. Spending an astronomical price of 40 trillion to buy two-way foil is like paying them protection money!"
Brolin felt extremely humiliated.
But
This seems to be the best outcome.
They have to come. If they don't come, the Nine-headed Dragon Empire will buy a large amount of two-way foil at the price of five trillion universe coins today.
That will be a catastrophe for the Black Dragon Mountain Empire!
If 40 trillion cosmic coins are used to prevent the spread of two-way foil in the two empires, this is actually a very cost-effective business.
It’s just hard to accept psychologically.
"Broline, that's the way the universe is."
"The weak prey on the strong, and the fittest survive. Right now, the Starry Sky Office is the strong one. They use the two-way foil as an excuse to stealthily plunder us."
"Even if the empire has many realm lord-level experts, there is nothing they can do at this moment!" (End of Chapter)
