Chapter 521: Buy! I’ll Take It All!
"Your Majesty, this is Xiaomian. This is the second time I have the honor of meeting you. This time, I am here to handle the transaction. Since Your Majesty and my master are old friends, we have already brought the equipment in advance. We can discuss the price at our leisure," Xiaomian said with a smile, looking very amiable.
"Please take a seat. My liegeord and I are also old friends. Although there were some misunderstandings in the past, we ultimately shared life and death together. It is a great joy to meet again," Zhu Ming said with a tone that seemed to carry a sense of nostalgia for an old friend.
However, this was all just surface-level politeness. The two of them had no real friendship. Xiaomian was not a kind person either. It was just a matter of setting the atmosphere, creating a facade, and then it was time to haggle over prices and raise them when necessary.
It was only because Qin Muye was now a 7th Tier Liegeord and ranked first on the leaderboard that Zhu Ming would play the sentiment card.
Strength was the foundation, not so-called feelings. Talking about feelings with an emperor was just asking for trouble.
The two of them chatted for a while. Xiaomian was very adept at it, after all, he was a merchant who had seen many people. As long as it didn’t touch on interests, he basically spoke the language people understood and the language ghosts spoke.
Merchants cared about making money. Whether to be harmonious or not depended on the other party's strength. If the current strength was powerful, it was definitely harmonious to make money. If it were a 7th Tier server, it would be directly taking action.
Why use items to trade when you can rob?
Although Xiaomian was a merchant, he understood what it meant to do business without capital, if he could rob, there would not do business.
After some casual conversation, both sides probed each other indirectly to gather information, then they got down to business.
Fortunately, Zhu Ming was quite satisfied with the purchase of the mecha and the armor. After all, they were divine-level equipment. Xiaomian’s pricing was also right on target, especially since the Target Price was the original price, after an 80% discount, how could he be dissatisfied.
The transaction went smoothly, without any issues like those in the Scholarly Dynasty.
"Mr. Xiaomian, if there is such good business in the future, please think of me first. After all, our two families can be considered old friends," Zhu Ming smiled and stamped his grand seal on the contract, then handed it to Xiaomian.
"Of course, of course, I will remember Your Majesty. You are a major client."
This time, the 1,900 mechas and 1,900 sets of armor, as long as the payment is in place, everything will be fine.
"By the way, Your Majesty, we also have various military supplies. Here is the catalog. If you have any needs, just let me know. The price is negotiable," Xiaomian said, handing over a tablet computer. It contained all the data on military equipment for sale, from size to power, with text reports and video records, quite comprehensive.
Except for the lack of prices.
All prices were negotiable, because he was preparing to show the samples, the prices would certainly be different.
"Oh~ Why show this good thing now?" Zhu Ming naturally understood Xiaomian's meaning and took the tablet directly.
Zhu Ming naturally knew how to use the tablet computer. After arriving in the Shining Universe, he had to learn the technology. If he didn’t, it would be embarrassing to be called a bumpkin.
After a quick look, Zhu Ming felt a bit startled. He originally thought Qin Muye was exaggerating when he said 7th Tier could kill casually, but if the data here were real, it really could kill 7th Tier casually.
However, it could only be 7th Tier soldiers. 7th Tier heroes were probably not killable.
But this was enough. Other Liegeords under 6th and 7th Tier soldiers could be recruited, but it wasn’t just gold coins Qin Muye used. They also needed various corresponding special resources, meaning the quantity was limited, and it was impossible to have all 7th Tier.
"There are indeed many good items, but I can’t place an order right now. I need to deliberate on which military Supplies to need to Zhu Ming knew it was a list, and Xiaomian couldn’t be expected to place an order immediately. This kind of thing definitely required time planning.
"Understood, understood. I will always be ready to receive Your Majesty's message and will come at the appointed time!" Xiaomian replied formally, but it was also perfunctory, just these few words.
"If Mr. Xiaomian is not too busy, you can stay a few days in my Liegeord, and take a look at the scenery of my Yan Kingdom."
Zhu Ming extended an invitation, not wanting to let the other party come and just leave.
"Since His Majesty has invited me, I should take the opportunity to enjoy the scenery of the Yan Kingdom," Xiaomian said with a smile. While he came here to conduct business, he was also collecting information on the True Dragon Son. The True Dragon Son had this intention, wanting to probe some information about the Endless Abyss from Xiaomian.
He was very curious about Qin Muye’s transformation. After all, when they left the Magic Continent server, the other party was only at the 4th Tier, and his territory was just a Floating City.
Although he had made progress, advancing the Holy Dragon Nest to the Land of Ten Thousand Dragons, the leap wasn’t as significant as transforming a Floating City into the Endless Abyss.
The two of them chatted for a while, and finally, Zhu Ming had someone take Xiaomian out for a tour due to busy official duties.
"It seems I need to pay more attention to this Lord. His rise is indeed beyond my expectations," Zhu Ming couldn’t help but smile.
He had no complaints; at least from the current situation, this Lord still had a favorable impression of him.
The delivery of the mech and armor was definitely profitable for the other party; otherwise, how could they take it out to sell? They wouldn’t do business just for the sake of business, right?
The other party wouldn’t hold back because of resources; Zhu Ming valued the increase in strength more.
In Qin Muye’s case, the mech and armor were a set. In Zhu Ming’s case, there was no need for a complete suit, as he couldn’t afford it.
"Three thousand nine hundred pieces of divine equipment, this is truly impressive," Zhu Ming couldn’t help but chuckle wryly.
From this glimpse, one could tell how powerful the Endless Abyss was.
He didn’t think the other party would take out the scarce items to sell, and they had already admitted that these were the outdated models, indicating they had something better, which is why they were selling these.
"Pity, the hero units of my work department are indeed..." He actually didn’t have much to say about it.
To say there were no achievements was impossible; his subordinates had specialized hero units for research and development. The products might have been satisfactory at the time, but after seeing Qin Muye's robustness, he also realized the gap between the two sides.
"Deepening cooperation is necessary, the value the other party brings is substantial."
Once there was equal strength, thoughts of annexation would naturally disappear, and thoughts of cooperation would emerge, which was the right number.
"The Shining Universe server is not peaceful; my strength is still too low."
Although he had gained a lot of standardized divine equipment, which boosted his territory’s strength significantly, compared to the true major forces, it was still limited.
As the first to reach the Shining Universe, he spent no short time here and even became a member of the All Things Alliance, which made him immune to the harassment of the Galactic Empire and the Saints Sect, also due to his good luck, his territory did not fall within the territories of these two powers.
These two powers might not target him openly, but secretly, whether it was economic suppression or occasional probing attacks by his White Gloves, there was no way for the All Things Alliance to stop it. He could only rely on himself; ultimately, it was still a lack of strength, otherwise, how could the other party dare to make small moves.
He had a bit more, but the other two were a bit lacking. The Celestial Realms’ territory was randomly placed within the range of the Saints Sect, almost getting blown up at the time, but later, due to the special qualities of the Lord, they were noticed and joined the Saints Sect, and now they were also considered high-level members, but the restrictions were too many.
The Heavenly Demon God entered the territory of the Galactic Empire, but because of his territory and people, he did not become a part of the Galactic Empire, but a space pirate. The Galactic Empire issued him a plunder certificate, as long as he did not plunder the fleets of the Galactic Empire, within the territory, it was not considered illegal but rather legal income.
However, there was a price to pay, to accept the conscription and dispatch of the Galactic Empire, so in reality, he was a laborer.
On the contrary, the heavily hit Celestial Realms received support from the Saints Sect, and their strength grew, surpassing the Heavenly Demon God.
