Chapter 1392 The Old Tree's Troubles
Empire Storm's tone wasn't very good, and it didn't sound like he was begging for mercy.
But he didn't mean it. The market for magic weapons in the empire was really very hot.
Not only is the price several times more expensive than before, the key is that it is impossible to purchase it through ordinary channels.
However, his attitude annoyed Jia Shuiqing, and she said calmly, "We don't force you to pay compensation!"
"What's your attitude?" Old Tree looked at Empire Storm unhappily, "It's so hard to believe that they are willing to accept the compensation!"
"I advise you to cherish this rare opportunity. Of course, you can tell me if you have any difficulties."
This guy really knows how to give people a way out, and in this kind of situation, he really acts as a lubricant.
"The problem is, I don't have any magic weapon in my hand," Imperial Storm spread his hands and answered helplessly.
"I went to Versailles a while ago and wanted to buy a magic weapon from him at a high price, but he said he didn't have any!"
Versailles is the former president of Yaoyang College, the one who set up a private museum.
Qu Jianlei and Jing Yuexin got the Black Horse Tower and the Invisibility Cloak from there.
As magical instruments became increasingly expensive, this person suffered a lot of harassment, and no one knew how he dealt with it.
However, it is difficult for others to judge whether Empire Storm's claim that he does not have any magic weapon is true or not.
No one has stipulated that there must be magical instruments above the Supreme Being, although in everyone's opinion, the possibility of not having magical instruments is really small.
"Then..." Lao Shu hesitated and looked at Jia Shuiqing, "Can I convert it into silver notes or energy blocks?"
After frowning, Mrs. Jia replied in a deep voice, "Since you have tried your best to bring them together... well, that's fine!"
In fact, the team’s current shortage of magical weapons has already been solved - the Skyhook Maze.
There are many magical instruments in the maze. Although some have been taken away by previous trial participants, there are still many left.
The spirit of the weapon hasn't given in yet, but everyone thinks it's only a matter of time before it gives in.
Not to mention whether the boss can make the spirit of the weapon recognize its master, everyone is continuously investing energy blocks just in the transformation of the cave.
With such a huge investment, it is impossible for the spirit of the weapon to remain indifferent, right?
So Mrs. Jia gave up her obsession with the magic weapon, but she still emphasized one point, "Let's go for the energy block... at the current price!"
Hearing this, Lao Shu couldn't help but grin, "At the current price, that would be a lot of energy blocks."
Old Lady Jia replied calmly, "Digital Phantom always fights back with an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth!"
"If you dare to covet our energy stone mine, you must compensate us with energy blocks!"
Using this logic as a cover, she cleverly concealed her true need for energy blocks.
The old tree didn't feel surprised at all.
Just now he thought that the amount of this energy block was a little too large?
Even though it is hard currency, you won't be able to use so much of it in a short period of time, right?
But this explanation is really too reasonable. For a truly strong team, if they have been slapped in the face, they have to pull it back the same way.
So he nodded and looked at the Imperial Storm again, "I think it makes sense, what about you?"
No matter what, magic weapons are in short supply, but energy blocks are easier to raise.
So what if the quantity is a little larger? It just takes a little more time, but there is no problem of not being able to get it.
Imperial Storm rubbed his forehead and replied in a deep voice, "One hundred billion... can basically buy a magic weapon."
This price is actually a bit low, but it is not completely impossible. The face above the Supreme is still worth some money.
The most important issue is whether it is available or not. In comparison, price is indeed a secondary factor.
Empire Storm is different from Leonardo da Vinci, who focused on adventure and did not accumulate much wealth.
But even so, for him, hundreds of billions of energy blocks are still a considerable expense.
Old Lady Jia was already satisfied with the price, but she still looked at Qu Jianlei, "Boss, look..."
"Then let's say 100 billion," Qu Jianlei was not good at bargaining.
One hundred billion energy blocks were enough for the cave to use for at least two hundred days, solving the urgent problem.
The key is that if you are too picky, it will also affect the image of Digital Phantom.
Then he didn't forget to mutter, "It's not a banknote... but it saves money laundering."
Although using bearer banknotes is convenient, there are times when it is difficult to spend them.
On an ordinary habitable planet, no one might care if you spend a few hundred million silver notes, but it would be difficult to spend tens of billions.
If there are tens of billions of silver bills involved, the market will be turbulent and it will inevitably attract the attention of the government.
Energy blocks are different. They are terminal consumables, and especially when you choose to use them for your own use, it is almost impossible for them to attract attention.
"That's it," Mrs. Jia nodded and naturally would not meddle in other people's business.
"Go collect energy blocks. We only have half a month!"
"Okay," Lao Shu nodded without hesitation, "How can I contact you then?"
"Find me or Dogan's people," the nutrient said expressionlessly, "just give it to them."
After they finished speaking, the three of them disappeared without a trace.
There was only one sentence left in the air, "This kind of thing will never happen again!"
"This movement..." The old tree subconsciously released his mental power, then shook his head and sighed.
There are rumors that the Digital Phantom has a unique set of physical skills, and now it seems to be true.
Just as he was sighing, Imperial Storm snorted coldly, "One hundred billion energy blocks, half a month... You agreed so readily!"
"Anyway, my 5 billion is easy to raise," Lao Shu replied disapprovingly, and then his face suddenly turned dark.
"What? I begged for you, but you still gave me a cold shoulder? With your ability, can't you get it?"
We are all above the Supreme, with similar abilities and influence, so there won’t be any problem with the estimation.
"That's not what I meant," Imperial Storm said, shaking his head with a dark face, "The problem is...it will get out!"
If he tried his best, he would have no problem completing that number, but then everyone would know that he had failed.
Although losing to Digital Phantom is not shameful, if possible, who would want such an embarrassing thing to spread?
Empire Storm has already lost once, and even though few people know about his defeat, he doesn't want to embarrass himself again!
"It's not a big deal," Lao Shu heard, shaking his head indifferently, "I can also help you contact and raise funds."
For him, the matter had already been settled and no more accidents should happen. It was not a problem for him to come forward and help coordinate.
Empire Storm's frown relaxed, and he looked at Chaoyang College in front of him and sighed softly.
"In that case, could you please inform the academy again?"
"You're... a little too much," Lao Shu muttered softly, "You were the one who insisted on the ambush."
The two of them contacted Chaoyang's people at the time and promised to help with the matter.
What Lao Shu meant was to just wait there, and if the people from Digital Phantom really came, he could just show up.
Anyway, the Imperial Storm has a strong perception ability and should be able to detect the opponent in time.
However, Empire Storm disagreed, thinking that it would be too cheap to come forward directly and would put them at a disadvantage in the negotiations.
Besides, although there are many digital phantoms, is it possible for them to be deployed every time?
If we are facing several supreme beings, the two of us who are above the supreme beings should also come forward together. Is that appropriate?
Anyway, he used many reasons and successfully convinced Lao Shu.
Now that the plan has failed, Lao Shu is required to inform the other party. Of course, he is reluctant to do so.
Imperial Storm sighed, then shook his head, "Brother, are the Digital Phantoms the ones who are most resentful towards me?"
"Haha," the old tree trunk laughed, thinking to himself, aren't you asking for it?
If you hadn't insisted, would I have lost 5 billion?
Although my family is wealthy, no one's money comes from the wind. This amount of money is enough to buy at least five armed merchant ships!
Imperial Storm continued, "Have we informed Chaoyang College and obtained Digital Phantom's permission?"
The old tree hesitated for a moment, then slowly shook his head, "That's not the case."
This time the mediation could not be completed, and it is only natural for them to give an explanation to the next buyer.
But the Digital Phantom did not allow them to do so and left without any explanation.
There is no permission and no prohibition, it's a gray area.
Imperial Storm sighed, "If I come forward, the other party will probably pursue it. But if you come forward, things will be different."
Lao Shu nodded when he heard this, but he couldn't help but complain again, "The risk falls on me now."
Imperial Storm shook his head slightly, "No, not really. The image this team presents to the outside world has always been reasonable."
"I'm really..." Lao Shu wanted to curse, "You want me to do such a shameful thing?"
"You don't have to explain the reason," Imperial Storm replied as a matter of course. Why should he explain his actions to others when he is acting above the Supreme Being?
"The key is to avoid any follow-up actions. By formally terminating the mediation, they will not have to make nonsense everywhere."
As a transcendent being, does the Supreme Being need to pay attention to reputation? Of course, no one likes to be infamous.
Even with the power of digital phantom, we have to consider our image and be trapped by our reputation.
"This is fucking bullshit," Lao Shu muttered again, obviously a little reluctant.
But he had no choice. If he let Empire Storm notify Chaoyang College, it would be very likely that trouble would arise again.
And he has basically jumped out of the vortex and certainly doesn't want to go back.
So an hour later, people from Chaoyang College were notified.
Lao Shu did not explain in detail, but just said that the people from Digital Phantom arrived tonight and have left now.
But it is not convenient for the two of us to continue to mediate the feud between the two parties, so the Supreme Being of the Hegel Family should consider saving himself.
That’s all the content, there are no other details. People from Chaoyang want to ask, but Lao Shu said: Don’t ask questions that you shouldn’t ask!
Judging from the statement alone, it feels like they were humiliated.
But one thing is certain, the two of them at least persuaded the people to leave, and it did play a role to some extent.
