Chapter 590: Tying Interests
Chapter 590: Tying Interests
As Link reappeared, all the Skru people on the ground looked up at him simultaneously.
Foreign journalists snapped photos of him incessantly, their excitement palpable.
Link flew over to Cindy Dopper and patted him on the shoulder with a beaming smile. "Dopper, this mission was incredibly fruitful, and I must thank you for leading the way."
"Don't mention it," Cindy Dopper hastily replied with a broad grin.
For some reason, he suddenly felt a twinge in his heart.
Link continued, "If these items were found in the wild, I would have gladly taken them. But since they came from your ancestral home, I feel obliged to show my gratitude."
He pulled out three bottles of Master-grade Life Restoration Elixir from his storage space and solemnly handed them to Cindy Dopper.
"This is the Master-grade Life Restoration Elixir from our Holy Silver Federation. It’s extremely precious. Just one bottle can bring a newly ascended Legend back from the brink of death to almost full recovery, making it a life-saving elixir! I’m giving you these three bottles as compensation."
"By the spirits, these are Master-grade Life Restoration Elixirs!" The Skru residents and journalists below were utterly stunned, their eyes wide and tongues tied.
Ordinary residents understood the significance of an elixir that could bring a Legend back to full health from the brink of death.
Foreign journalists, well-versed in such matters, knew that there was only one bottle of such an elixir in the Sunlight Palace, which was worth a city in value!
The journalists gathered and stammered in discussion:
"This is a Master-grade elixir! Is it the same as the one in the Sunlight Palace?"
"If I’m not mistaken, it is."
"Good heavens! A single bottle must be worth at least a few billion Sunlight Coins!"
"Three bottles, folks, which means Prime Minister Dopper just found over a hundred billion?!"
Apart from the stuttering journalists, no one below spoke a word. The crowd seemed to be bustling with heads, but there was an eerie silence.
Everyone was envious of Cindy Dopper's good fortune.
Damn! To casually find over a hundred billion, why didn't such good luck fall on me?
Cindy Dopper's thoughts were entirely different from the others.
Seeing the three bottles, his mind completely exploded!
He was 100% certain that these three bottles were the same ones Su Yu had shown him four days ago, with the bottle stoppers shaped identically!
So, why were these three bottles in Link’s hands?
He recalled what Su Yu had said to him four days ago.
Su Yu had said, "Once I return to Blue Star, I'll naturally have a way to deliver the elixirs to you without raising any suspicions from other Skru. Furthermore, I can help you obtain the legal basis for creating a 'Spatial Ring.'"
Now, it all made sense. Su Yu had bribed the War Inspector to deliver the elixirs to him!
What a brilliant idea!
By having the War Inspector deliver the elixirs, no one would doubt their origin, and he could sell them with confidence.
This also explained why the "treasure site" was conveniently located at his ancestral home, all part of Su Yu’s meticulous planning!
As Cindy Dopper was lost in thought, Link tapped him on the forehead with his index finger and chuckled,
"Besides these three bottles, I’ll also give you this Spirit Energy-based formula to create a 3-cubic-meter or smaller Mini Spatial Ring."
"Here is the manufacturing process. This should more than compensate you. I hope you make good use of it. Goodbye, Doppler."
With that, Link’s figure gradually vanished into thin air.
Watching him disappear, Cindy Doppler was now certain that Su Yu had bribed Link!
Good heavens, Su Yu actually managed to bribe a divine-level War Monitor? No wonder Su Yu didn’t tell him beforehand. Even if he had, Cindy Doppler wouldn’t have believed it. He let out a bitter smile.
Unlike Doppler, the onlookers and journalists below were completely stunned. Several reporters even suffered from heart attacks and fainted on the spot.
The manufacturing process for a [Small Spatial Ring] with a capacity of less than three cubic meters? Oh, my gods!
It was well-known that the Skrull people, due to their low-level cultivation techniques, could not produce spatial rings. All spatial rings had to be imported from the Holy Silver Federation, which made them extremely expensive. A one-cubic-meter spatial ring could cost over 100 million Leryang coins.
But now, Link had actually given the manufacturing process for a small spatial ring to Cindy Doppler.
This meant that the Skrull people could now produce their own small spatial rings?
The journalists couldn’t even begin to imagine the magnitude of this news—it might even be more explosive than the news that Su Yu was still alive!
They never expected that they, mere bystanders and freelance reporters, would stumble upon such a major scoop!
All the Skrulls below were immersed in shock, unable to pull themselves together.
Cindy Doppler was a smart man, and at that moment, he suddenly realized he was in danger.
He had received 15 billion worth of potions and the priceless, trillion-worth "Small Spatial Ring Manufacturing Process" (though in reality, it wasn’t truly worth that much). Even if he was about to become the next Prime Minister Beck, there would still be people who coveted his wealth. Even divine-level experts might be tempted.
Moreover, he sensed that the faint yellow figure (Cecilia) had appeared behind him.
So, he quickly shouted to the journalists below, “I have something to say, and I hope everyone listens.”
Once all the attention was on him, Cindy Doppler continued, “This is my ancestral home, but it stands on the foundation of our nation. Therefore, the compensation I received from Sir Link belongs not only to me but to the entire nation!
So, I hereby announce that these three bottles of potions will not be kept by me personally. I will auction them off within a month, and all the proceeds will be donated to our nation’s reconstruction fund.
The ‘Small Spatial Ring Manufacturing Process’ will also be handled similarly. From today, I will establish a state-owned enterprise centered on this technology, and all the profits will benefit all the citizens of Beckland!”
By making this statement, Cindy Doppler had shifted the personal risk onto the entire nation.
Now, his interests were completely aligned with the nation’s, and any harm to him would be a harm to the entire nation of Beckland.
Even a divine-level expert wouldn’t dare to go against the entire nation, ensuring his absolute safety.
He had guessed correctly.
As soon as he finished his announcement, the faint yellow figure behind him disappeared into thin air.
