Chapter 75: A Partnership Formed, Two Days Later
Chapter 75: A Partnership Formed, Two Days Later
Su Yu had no knowledge of the "Holy Silver Federation" and was unaware of the immense value of the invitation letter.
Seeing Cindy Doppler's stunned expression, he assumed she didn't believe him.
To reassure her, Su Yu activated the Watcher Beacon on his body with a touch of his magic. The beacon immediately emitted a bright blue glow.
This beacon was placed on him by a War Monitor during the Singer War. If Su Yu ever faced a life-threatening situation on Blue Star, activating the beacon could save his life. It also served as the best proof of his contact with the War Monitor.
Seeing the beacon, Cindy Doppler was completely convinced of Su Yu's words. While the invitation letter could be forged (though the chances were extremely low), the beacon could not be faked. The beacon radiated an unmistakable aura of the Holy Silver Human Race.
This meant that Su Yu was destined to enter the Holy Silver Secret Court.
With this realization, Cindy Doppler stood up and bowed respectfully to Su Yu. "Sir 'One,' please forgive my lack of etiquette. On behalf of the citizens of Beck Country, I welcome you!"
"There's no need for formalities," Su Yu waved his hand. "What about the partnership?"
"I am willing to cooperate with you and your Blue Star!" Cindy Doppler answered resolutely.
After a moment of thought, he added, "However, the current international situation is not favorable. Our partnership should remain hidden. If it becomes public, not only will you be hunted by god-tier powerhouses, but Beck Country will also become a target for everyone."
"Of course!" Su Yu smiled. "Any sensible person wouldn't make a partnership public. We'll maintain contact in secret. Now, let's discuss the formal terms of our cooperation, shall we?"
"Exactly what I had in mind!" Cindy Doppler replied with a smile.
For the rest of the night, Cindy Doppler, aside from spending three minutes in his bedroom to appease his wife, dedicated all his time to discussing the partnership with Su Yu.
Since it was a partnership, both parties' current and future needs had to be considered.
Su Yu's needs were clear: he wanted to purchase as much advanced technology and the best possible psychic cultivation techniques to bring back to Blue Star.
Cindy Doppler's immediate need was to lead the "Anti-Union Organization" party to victory in the upcoming election in two months, becoming the president of Beck Country.
After some negotiation, they finally reached an agreement:
Su Yu would sell 100 tons of gold, 300 tons of silver, and 10 tons of platinum to Cindy Doppler at 50% of the market price. In return, Cindy Doppler would use his network to help Su Yu purchase high-end technology and advanced psychic cultivation techniques.
The 50% profit Cindy Doppler would make would be used for campaign advertising, creating more compelling and persuasive campaign ads to win the upcoming election in two months.
Additionally, Su Yu offered Cindy Doppler a strategy. He said, "The main difference between your 'Anti-Union Organization' and the 'Beck Progressive Party' is that you oppose the Skru Federation government.
"During this time, you should bribe the media to conduct more interviews with residents of the Lunget Alliance who suffer from 'Psychic Overload Syndrome' and the families of those suffering in the slums.
"You need to build momentum among the domestic population by using facts to demonstrate the incompetence of the Skru Federation government. This way, you can gain more votes in the upcoming election."
Cindy Doppler found Su Yu's advice sound and decided to follow it.
At 5 AM, they officially completed the partnership agreement, signing the handwritten contract.
"Pleasure doing business!" Su Yu extended his hand to Cindy Doppler, satisfied with the deal.
As for Morning Star, she had already fallen asleep out of boredom during their negotiations.
"Pleasure doing business!" Cindy Doppler shook Su Yu's hand, equally pleased with the arrangement.
To hell with the Luncte Alliance's bounty!
"By the way," Cindy Doppler suddenly remembered something. "Sir One, according to the agreement, it will take about two days to procure the first batch of items you requested. Where do you plan to stay during this time? Or how should I contact you?"
"Um," Su Yu was at a loss, as he hadn't thought about where he would go for the next two days.
"If you don't mind, why don't you stay at my place?" Cindy Doppler suggested, tapping his foot. "My house is quite large, and there's plenty of room for you. Plus, it will help you avoid the Luncte Alliance's spies."
"Are you not worried about putting your family in danger?" Su Yu teased.
"No problem, I trust you completely," Cindy Doppler said sincerely. "This is also a way for me to show my commitment to our partnership. With my family around, there's no way I'd contact the Luncte Alliance to betray you, right?"
Su Yu thought for a moment and finally nodded. "You have a point... Alright, I'll stay at your place for the next two days."
Over the next two days, Su Yu stayed at Cindy Doppler's mansion as he had said, not leaving once.
On the afternoon of the seventh day, the light green pendant given to him by Game Inspector Donna emitted a soft glow, signaling that the spatial portal was open and urging him to return to Blue Star.
However, Su Yu didn't go back. Instead, he was waiting for Cindy Doppler to bring back the first batch of items he needed.
Due to the decree issued by the godlike strongman Plante of the Sun Empire, the Luncte Alliance mistakenly believed that Su Yu was seeking political asylum in the Sun Empire. As a result, they invested a significant amount of resources into the eastern Sun Empire, never imagining that Su Yu had already moved to the western Bak Country.
In Bak Country, they only allocated a small portion of their resources to search for Su Yu, and naturally, they didn't find him. Su Yu's two days in the Doppler mansion were quite peaceful.
...
It was 10 AM on the ninth day.
After two days of effort, Cindy Doppler had finally gathered all the items Su Yu needed for the first batch. He was now on his way back home in his hovercar, eager to share the good news with Su Yu.
However, during the journey, his attention was elsewhere, as he was on the phone with a subordinate, his tone serious and tense.
Soon, his hovercar pulled into the driveway and came to a stop in the courtyard with a gentle squeak.
In the guest room on the third floor, Su Yu, who had been studying the illustrations of the Skrull techniques, looked up from his book and glanced at Morning Star, who was watching a Skrull movie on her phone. "Morning Star, Doppler is back. Pack up; we'll leave Skrull once we get the items."
"Already?" Morning Star reluctantly turned off her phone. "Time flies when you're having fun! Two days have passed so quickly."
"Alright, I'll head down first. Pack up and come down as soon as you're ready." Su Yu casually stowed his belongings into his necklace and then leaped out of the third-floor window.
