Chapter 1173 A worse world
When Margaux realized this, she knew her hopes might be dashed.
Originally, he was worried that the other party would rob him, but now that he was no longer worried, he was even more troubled: Oops, he couldn't afford the price.
Of course it's a good thing to know someone when selling goods, but it would be a pity if it would harm your own interests.
Just as he was thinking about it, he heard the boss speak.
"The magic weapon should be complete. Our previous valuation was a bit low. Let's put it this way, it's worth a discount of 15 billion."
"Our asylum is worth 10 billion anyway. Adding the value of the industry, I will give you another 4 billion. Do you accept it?"
Margo was shocked when he heard this. He really didn't expect that the other party actually gave such a high valuation.
He had been atoning for his sins on the front line before, but he had also heard about the auction many years ago.
His valuation of his magical artifact is from 5 billion to 30 billion... The range is a bit wide, but it really depends on the person he meets.
Fifteen billion has not reached the upper limit in his mind, but it must be understood that auctions and private transactions are completely different!
Needless to say, it’s just because of his status as a “wanted criminal” that it would be strange if those in the know didn’t lower the price!
If he didn’t fall out on the spot and kill someone to seize the treasure, he could be considered an absolute gentleman! Are you still looking for compensation now?
At this moment, he really understood why Mu Guang, an old cunning guy, repeatedly emphasized that it was a good thing.
However, can he accept the other party's conditions? Of course that's impossible!
Margot took a deep breath and spoke slowly, "Thank you, senior, for offering such a fair price, but I still have ideas..."
He planned to accept only half of the four billion cash supplement, and the rest... he hoped that the other party could provide training conditions.
This request... he felt was not too much. He had at least fifty or sixty years to live, and it was necessary to solve the problem of cultivation.
Two billion in exchange for this condition is not too little, right?
Qu Jianlei and the other three exchanged glances, but they didn't feel that the other party's request was too much.
Mainly because the three of them knew very well that Qu Jianlei had two sets of super energy-gathering formations obtained from the Hope 3rd Star.
These two formations were stolen, and the team would not use them normally - if they were to be discovered, the consequences would be serious.
In fact, Qu Jianlei also changed these two formations over the years, erasing the military's special logos and codes.
But even so, if it falls into the eyes of a caring person, it can at least be confirmed that there is something wrong with the origin of these two formations.
When Qu Jianlei thought about it, his team was certainly not afraid of trouble, but there was no need to ask for trouble, right?
Seeing that the two women were silent, he nodded his head and said, "In that case, I'll give you a super Qi gathering array."
He thought that there was a super gas gathering array on Dogan's Stepford planet, which showed that this thing was not as important as he thought.
Whether many things are sensitive or not must be judged based on one's own strength.
However, Mu Guang didn't know that Qu Jianlei had a universal formation in his hand, and he couldn't help being shocked when he heard this.
Boss, are you...promising too readily?
Margo was also a little surprised. Didn't you actually make a counteroffer?
Since this was the case, he felt at a loss again.
Of course, he definitely wouldn't have the guts to go back on his word, otherwise he would be tired of living.
So he kept saying, "Senior, if I want to get more benefits, what do I need to do?"
"More benefits..." Qu Jianlei looked at him with a trace of amusement in his eyes.
There are vulgar benefits to dealing with this vulgar person, "It's simple. The value you provide determines your reward."
Margo was perked up after hearing this, "I would like to ask first, how can we count the news from the front line?"
Using information from the front line in exchange for benefits... Qu Jianlei was not very familiar with the empire's customs, so he might think that the other party was fooling people.
You are all deserters. Can you tell me about the news from the front line?
However, the empire really pays attention to information barriers. At this point, "knowledge is valuable" is indeed reflected vividly.
——Most of the time, money cannot buy knowledge.
Not to mention that this is extremely confidential and forbidden information. If it is left to the timid, even if Margo dares to say it, they may not dare to listen.
Qu Jianlei nodded when he heard this, "You can talk about it, the key is to look at the value."
Margot didn't open her mouth, but when she opened her mouth, it was bombshell news.
"The Federation and the Alliance have recently stepped up their offensives at the same time... The two gaps were once lost, and a large number of enemy troops infiltrated."
"I'm rough..." Qu Jianlei couldn't help but muttered, and then looked at Jia Shuiqing and the nutritional supplements.
A hint of shock flashed across the eyes of these two people - is the front line so tight?
No one has much sense of belonging to the empire - they hide here and there like a lost dog every day, it's strange to have a sense of belonging!
But no matter what, this is the country they live in, and they have no sense of identity with a foreign country.
Moreover, they also see how the people of the Federation do things, and they are also very different from the Empire...
The nutritional agent snorted when he heard this, "That's why you want to escape, right? It's really a worse world."
She felt that the words of the boss could not be more appropriate at this time.
But at the same time, Margaux made a new discovery.
He nodded, "This is indeed one of the reasons why I ran away, but seniors... don't seem to care much about the front line?" He was really surprised. How could such a powerful force not have corresponding information channels?
Jia Shuiqing answered naturally, "The empire wants to block information, so we won't pry... There are so many things to do every day!"
Your reason is so powerful! Margo could only smile bitterly when she heard this.
However, the empire does have a similar culture. Even if the awakened ones are not afraid of violating various prohibitions, it is related to their cultivation!
When it comes to major national and international affairs, some people really just ignore it and ignore it.
Even if the empire is annexed, the Awakened are still a class with vested interests - the higher the level of cultivation, the more stable their position.
Thinking of this, Margaux smiled self-deprecatingly, "I think I'm already cold-blooded..."
"Come on, let's not mention this anymore. What can I get in exchange for this relevant information?"
"You need to make an offer," Qu Jianlei said expressionlessly, "We will not proactively reveal the options."
There are too many secrets in the team, how could he possibly leak them out and give the other party a choice?
When Margo heard this, she blinked her eyes twice and froze immediately.
The other party is indeed easy to talk to, but the crux of the problem is: how does he know what the other party has?
Relying on his reputation as a "common man", he can get a lot of advantages in his actions. It is indeed beneficial to have no lower limit.
But the other party's answer immediately put him off: You are not vulgar, but are you too elegant and refined?
However, he didn't dare to accuse the other party or even complain - his strength really didn't allow it.
He could only laugh dryly, "Well...seniors, I really don't know what to choose."
It was a pity that the three people in front didn't react at all and just looked at him so indifferently.
He thought about it and then said bravely, "What if, I mean what if... I want an identification card?"
"This is impossible," the three shook their heads without hesitation.
Qu Jianlei even made it clear, "This involves identifying ourselves and the enemy. You are protected by us, but you are not a comrade!"
I can also be a comrade-in-arms, Margo really wanted to say this.
But he also knew in his heart that it was impossible for the other party to recognize him as a comrade-a deserter on the front line. This record was too serious!
Then just make a random offer, his heart skipped a beat, "I want to get the information on how to advance to the highest level!"
The eyes of the three people became weird again, and the woman who loved talking the most gave a disdainful snort.
"Leaving aside whether we have similar news, do you think the value you provide...is worthy?"
Just don’t say no! Margaux is a secular person who is best at bargaining.
"Then I can't think of the rewards I want to get at the moment. I'll deposit it first. When I have enough deposited, can I exchange it together?"
When Qu Jianlei and the other two heard this, they were really dumbfounded. Mrs. Jia couldn't help but say, "You have understood the cliché."
"I have confidence in the actions of your seniors," Margot said hurriedly, "If it were anyone else, I really wouldn't be able to believe it!"
He then shared details about the front lines.
The Democratic Federation and the Freedom Alliance originally had frictions, but they suddenly put aside their disputes and massively increased their troops to block the gaps.
The empire really failed to defend against this attack, and everyone thought that this was another attack that was loud but not heavy.
Who would have thought that the opponent's troops would be endless, and when the fight was at its most stalemate, a large number of fleets would suddenly appear!
The empire's garrison troops had actually reported to their superiors, requesting more reinforcements, but the request was rejected by the military headquarters.
——The three gaps in the barrier are not known to the public at all. If reinforcements are dispatched, it will be difficult to keep them secret.
The military headquarters even stated that the dead soldiers sent by the empire had sent back information: the other party's purpose was to create panic in the empire.
Anyway, if we don’t need reinforcements, we still have to hold on!
This attitude of the empire has appeared many times in the past.
At best, they believe in the abilities of the border guards, but at worst, they don't take their lives seriously!
As a result, the military's defeat was already doomed!
Although Margaux went there to atone for her sins, she was still supreme after all. She stayed on the front line for another thirty years and enjoyed many privileges.
The military also knew that he was being targeted and did not dare to let him go.
However, the military is willing to provide him with convenience as much as possible within the scope of conditions.
This is the front line. No one wants to die on the battlefield one day under an attack from behind!
So Margo learned the cause and effect of the incident, and the other awakened people who were atonement were basically kept in the dark.
The two gaps were lost one after another. A large number of military officers were killed or injured, and many were captured... and some even surrendered!
The news of someone's surrender completely shocked the military - this was the most loyal team recognized by the empire!
