Chapter 692: Worth 40 Billion
Chapter 692: Worth 40 Billion
Cindy Doppler stared at the young Tian, utterly at a loss for words to describe the shock he felt.
Of course, there were differences in age classifications between Earthlings and Skrullians. However, based on Tian's aura, he could clearly sense that she was incredibly young, even younger than his own daughter!
Su Yu had actually found a girlfriend who was this young...
"Pervert! Old bull eating tender grass!" he cursed inwardly.
However, he didn't want to interfere with Su Yu's personal life and instead asked, "You really are Mr. Skywing's girlfriend?"
"Absolutely, no doubt about it."
"Well... I see." Cindy Doppler wiped his sweat, gently handed the hummingbird back to Tian, and invited her, "Since that's the case, let's go inside to discuss the important matters. It's not convenient to talk out here."
"Sure." Tian nodded.
Even after meeting Cindy Doppler, she didn't relax at all. Her nerves remained taut as she followed him into his home.
...
...
"Would you like some Leek Bug Juice?"
In the living room on the second floor of the villa, Cindy Doppler put about nine or eight fresh Leek Bugs into the juicer and asked Tian.
"Uh... no, thanks. Earthlings don't like that." The pungent, fishy smell of the Leek Bugs being juiced made Tian's stomach churn.
She had seen this juice in videos before, but experiencing it in person made it even more disgusting—by at least ten thousand times!
How could Skrullians actually enjoy this?
Cindy Doppler, on the other hand, found Earthlings to be quite peculiar. Was there something wrong with Earthlings' taste buds? How could they not like Leek Bugs?
For Skrullians, Leek Bugs were as essential as salt was for Earthlings. Just as Earthlings would feel terrible without salt for a day, Skrullians would feel the same way without Leek Bugs.
Perhaps it was just a matter of species differences.
...
After the small talk failed, it was time to get down to business.
Cindy Doppler sat in the chair behind his desk, sipping his bug juice contentedly, and smiled at Tian, "I never expected Earth to send such a young girl on such a dangerous mission."
"So what if I'm young?" Tian forced a smile, trying to ignore the unpleasant smell of the bug juice. "In the past few months, I've been the strongest player on Earth after Su Yu. Even now, I'm still one of the top five. Age has nothing to do with it."
"I see." Cindy Doppler nodded, understanding a bit more about why Tian was Su Yu's girlfriend.
This girl was so capable, and her appearance must be quite good by Earthling standards. Who wouldn't be attracted to such a person?
Tian stood up, took off the red shoulder bag she was carrying, and gently placed it on the desk in front of Cindy Doppler. "I've brought everything you need. There are 200 [Spatial Cores] in total. You just need to add a ring to these cores, and they will become [Spatial Rings]."
"200?!" Cindy Doppler was both surprised and delighted as he looked at the red bag in front of him.
According to Su Yu's original estimate, players would still be learning spatial magic in the first month, so they could produce no more than 100 [Spatial Cores] in that time.
But Earth had exceeded expectations and managed to produce 200!
Cindy Doppler excitedly opened the red bag and took one of the cores out, holding it in his hand.
The Spatial Core shimmered with a silvery light, appearing incredibly intricate.
Probing the core with his mental energy, he immediately discovered a cubic space measuring about one meter on each side.
The overall feel was almost identical to the Spatial Ring he had purchased for over 700 million Solar Coins!
Before Cindy Dople could say anything, Little Tian's calm voice sounded in his ear once more:
"In this batch, 100 cores are one cubic meter, 70 are two cubic meters, and 30 are three cubic meters.
Our mage players are quite skilled; they can now create Spatial Rings with a three-cubic-meter capacity."
"Really? That's fantastic!" Cindy Dople's eyes lit up.
He took out a Spatial Core from the bottom of his bag, one with a more complex magical array, and tested it.
Sure enough, it contained a three-cubic-meter space!
"This far exceeds my expectations. I'm sure these will fetch a high price!" Cindy Dople's heart was filled with elation.
The larger the space, the exponentially higher the price of the Spatial Ring!
For example, a one-cubic-meter Spatial Ring could sell for 100 million Solar Coins, while a three-cubic-meter one could sell for 1 billion! And that's the minimum price; if auctioned, the final sale price could easily exceed 1 billion!
At 1 billion per ring, 30 rings would be 30 billion...
He couldn't imagine a more lucrative business!
Cindy Dople murmured to himself, "100 one-cubic-meter Spatial Rings would be about 10 billion, 70 two-cubic-meter ones about 21 billion, and 30 three-cubic-meter ones 30 billion...
With such a large quantity of Spatial Rings flooding the market, there will be some depreciation, say around 30%. Even so, selling them all would still net us 40 billion! That's enough to cover the military budget shortfall!"
"Hey, Dople!" Little Tian tapped the table, dissatisfied. "We agreed on a 90-10 split. Ninety percent of 40 billion should go to us, right?"
"You just don't understand, young lady." Cindy Dople spoke with the air of an elder, his tone enigmatic. "Once these Spatial Rings hit the market, they'll boost market confidence! Then we can drive up stock prices, and 40 billion will be easy money!"
"Alright, you handle it then," Little Tian crossed her arms.
She only had a basic understanding of stocks and bonds, after all. She was still young and hadn't had a proper mentor in these matters.
Little Tian asked, "When can you hand over at least 36 billion worth of resources to me?"
"Hmm..." Cindy Dople thought for a moment before answering, "In a week. This is a significant amount, and I need time to prepare."
"Alright, I'll come back in a week."
"Wait!" Cindy Dople suddenly remembered something.
He looked at the Spatial Ring on Little Tian's right index finger and asked, "360 billion isn't a small amount. That's about 90 tons of gold. Can your storage equipment handle it?"
Su Yu, that freak, could carry away entire rebel and G2 armories! The storage capacity was beyond his imagination.
But not every Blue Star citizen could have such vast storage space, right?
The Spatial Ring Little Tian wore didn't look particularly large.
That's why he asked.
