Chapter 614: A Family Price for You
Hearing Tang Rao say that he could create Super Technology Weapons at the level of dividing spirit, Natasha got thoroughly excited.
During the battle between Giant Merchant Star and Soul Capture Pavilion, about thirty percent of the participating cultivators were at the dividing spirit stage. If they had Super Technology Weapons for their dividing spirit stage cultivators, facing off against Soul Capture Pavilion's cultivators at the same stage would be an absolute slaughter.
Of course, if she got her hands on a batch of such weapons, she could make a lot of money.
Nascent Soul level weapons sell for five hundred thousand Spirit Stones, so those at the dividing spirit level should at least go for five million Spirit Stones a piece.
If she could make ten thousand of those, she'd be rolling in it.
Though Natasha didn't know what she'd do with so much Spiritual Energy Stones - at her level, they were basically useless. But as a woman, it wouldn't be right not to like money.
"Xiao Hei, hurry up and tell me, if you can make them, I'll do whatever you want me to," Natasha said.
"Would you agree to marry me..." Tang Rao blurted out.
But as soon as he finished, he regretted it. Why couldn't he keep his mouth shut...
"That, I need to think about it, give me another option," Natasha was clearly embarrassed for a moment, but having weathered many storms, she quickly adjusted.
"I was just joking. To create Super Technology Weapons at the dividing spirit level, I need an existing one of the same level. However, as far as I know, there are no Super Technology Weapons of this level available on the Moon. So, the chances aren't great," Tang Rao said with a shrug.
"So there's none at the starry sky exchange either?" Natasha asked.
"If there were, I would've already bought it. Sadly, stuff like that is quite high-end. I think the Moon isn't likely to sell it so easily," Tang Rao shrugged again.
"Oh right… didn't you say earlier that Giant Merchant Star and Tang Rao had a collaboration? You can get Zhao Diman to contact Tang Rao, I think he'd be quite happy to," Tang Rao suggested.
"That is indeed a way," Natasha nodded, "Xiao Hei, I'll go find Zhao Diman right now."
Natasha was impatient, and as soon as she was done speaking, she ran off.
It was half an hour later when Tang Rao received a call request from Zhao Diman.
"Chairman Zhao, what can I do for you?" In Natasha's yard, Tang Rao altered his voice slightly as he spoke.
"Mr. Tang, I'm here to discuss a business proposition with you, I wonder if you're interested," Zhao Diman spoke calmly and even chuckled.
"What are you saying, Chairman Zhao? I'm always up for business, who would think they have too much money, am I right? By the way, I heard Soul Capture Pavilion and Giant Merchant Star are at it, I planned on sending some support for Giant Merchant Star. After all, we're partners, it's the thought that counts, right. I'll send fifty cultivators at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage to launch some guerrilla attacks, sniping those stray cultivators from Soul Capture Pavilion," laughed Tang Rao.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Tang," Zhao Diman squinted his eyes.
Fifty cultivators at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage sent by Tang Rao? Could the six pinnacle Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivators from Soul Capture Pavilion before be Tang Rao's doing? Zhao Diman immediately became suspicious.
"Chairman Zhao, let's continue talking about business."
"Right, right, business," Zhao Diman laughed, "Mr. Tang, you know, we're quite evenly matched with Soul Capture Pavilion, so it's at a deadlock. I heard that Mr. Tang has researched quite a few Super Technology Weapons, is that true?"
"That's true indeed," Tang Rao responded.
"Well then, I won't beat around the bush, I want to buy the data for your Super Technology Weapons from you," said Zhao Diman.
The corners of Tang Rao's mouth lifted ever so slightly.
"Chairman Zhao, I'm afraid you might not be able to afford it," Tang Rao paused for a moment and chuckled, "This data, especially on high-level Super Technology Weapons, is an absolute secret of the Moon. You see, I'm counting on this to make a big profit. If I sell it to you, I lose my competitive edge."
"Competition is what leads to development, and besides, Giant Merchant Star will make you an offer you can't refuse, Mr. Tang, you know that," Zhao Diman said.
"This... Chairman Zhao, it's not that I'm stingy, it's just impossible."
"We only need the data for the Divinity-class Super Technology Weapons. That level should be okay, right?" said Zhao Diman.
"Divinity-class, sigh, if Chairman Zhao insists on having it, then I'll give you a family discount: how about one hundred trillion?" Tang Rao asked.
On the other end at Illusion City, Zhao Diman almost coughed up blood.
One hundred trillion, Tang Rao are you freaking insane?!
And calling it a family discount, have some shame, will you?
Divinity-class Super Technology Weapons, even if you sell them for ten million each, you'd have to sell at least ten million pieces to make one hundred trillion.
Who beside big powers could afford those things, it's not like regular cultivators could buy them.
"Mr. Tang, it's no fun doing business this way, one hundred trillion is really quite a blind quote. Let's do this, one trillion," proposed Zhao Diman.
Snap!
The moment Zhao Diman finished his sentence, the sound of communication being cut off could be heard from Illusion City.
Yes, Tang Rao hung up directly.
Bargaining down from one hundred trillion to one trillion, are you even human? I'm already being quite nice not cursing you out.
Tang Rao hadn't expected to be hung up by Zhao Diman just like that.
"This damn thing, he really takes me, Zhao Diman, for a big fool!" In the conference room, Zhao Diman was uncontrollably furious. To be honest, even one trillion was painful for him to consider, let alone one hundred trillion as a joke.
However, just a few minutes later, Zhao Diman called Tang Rao again.
"Chairman Zhao, I am only being considerate because of our pleasant cooperation. If you don't have the sincerity, then stop bothering me. I have loads of things to do, you don't know how hard I'm working to make my life more beautiful. I'm not like you guys, with so many spirit stones that you can't even count them all," Tang Rao rattled on.
"Mr. Tang Rao, one hundred trillion is indeed a bit much. Let's both take a step back, one hundred trillion is my limit," said Zhao Diman.
Snap!
Zhao Diman once again heard the sound of the call being hung up in his ear.
"Dammit!" Zhao Diman roared in anger, barely controlling his spiritual energy.
"Grand Chairman, please calm down," Natasha said to Zhao Diman, she had always thought of Zhao Diman as a very astute person, but ever since encountering Tang Rao, he had completely changed.
Tang Rao seemed to easily provoke Zhao Diman.
"Natasha, you talk to him. Turn on the speaker," Zhao Diman looked at Natasha, going insane at the thought of speaking with Tang Rao again.
After pondering for a moment, Natasha agreed.
Soon, Natasha got through to Tang Rao.
"Hello Mr. Tang, I am Natasha, the fourth president of the Giant Merchant Star." Natasha's voice was soft, and she didn't use a falsetto.
"Oh? President Four sounds young? My, my, could it be a beautiful woman? I think so, such a lovely voice, it's just my type. When can I invite you for a meal? We could talk about life and discuss dreams!" Tang Rao laughed heartily.
In Natasha's yard, Li Shengxuan looked at Tang Rao with a face (╯▔□▔).
