“We need to deepen cooperation, the value of the other party is big enough,”
“Right, Your Majesty, we also have all kinds of military equipment, here’s the catalogue I’ve compiled. If you have any needs, just ask. The price is negotiable.” Saying that, Gold Coin handed over a tablet computer, which had all the data on the arms for sale downloaded onto it, from size to firepower, complete with text reports and video records—a very comprehensive package.
“There are indeed many good items, but I’m afraid I can’t place an order right now. I still need to discuss which pieces of equipment to order,” Zhu Ming knew that this was essentially just a list, and Gold Coin wouldn’t expect him to place an order immediately; such a matter definitely required time to plan.
“Since it’s Your Majesty’s invitation, then I should really take a good look at the sights of Yan Country,” Gold Coin had also been waiting for these words. He was here to talk business on one hand, and on the other, he was certainly here to gather information about the True Dragon Emperor.
“I’ve seen Your Majesty before, I’m Gold Coin, it’s probably the second time we meet, right? This time I’m responsible for this transaction. Considering that Your Majesty and my owner are old friends, we’ve brought the equipment in advance, and the price can be discussed at length.” Gold Coin said with a smile that made him look very amiable.
“It seems I’ll have to pay closer attention to this *** Lord next time in the simulation. His rise was indeed beyond my expectations,” Zhu Ming couldn’t help laughing.
“It’s a pity that the heroes from my Ministry of Industry are really…” He didn’t exactly know what to say. freēnovelkiss.com
“Understood, understood. I’ll wait for Your Majesty’s message at any time and will definitely rush over!” Gold Coin’s response was very formal, but also perfunctory, nothing more than a few set phrases.
“Oh~ Why did you only bring out such good stuff now?” Zhu Ming naturally heard the implication in Gold Coin’s words and directly took the tablet computer.
“Please sit. You and I are old friends, Lord, back then, although there were some misunderstandings, in the end, we fought and survived together. Now that fate has brought us together again, it’s truly a joyous occasion,” Zhu Ming’s tone seemed to be filled with emotion for an old friend.
“Three thousand nine hundred Divine Artifacts, this is really quite lavish,” Zhu Ming couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.
“The Shining Universe server is not calm, and my power is still too low.”
“Mr. Gold Coin, if there’s a good business like this in the future, you must think of me first. After all, our families are practically generational friends,” Zhu Ming said with a smile, sealing the contract with his large stamp and handing it to Gold Coin.
“If Mr. Gold Coin isn’t in a hurry, you could stay in my territory for a few days to take a look at the scenery of Yan Country,” Zhu Ming extended an invitation; it wouldn’t be right to just send someone away after they’ve come.
“Certainly, certainly. I’ll definitely remember Your Majesty,” Gold Coin would have to remember; this was a major customer.
However, the Heavenly Demon God was actually happy about the situation and, because he surrendered quickly without pride, his territory’s strength was somewhat preserved. Unfortunately, it was exactly because of this that he didn’t receive much support.
But these are all superficial phenomena. The two men didn’t have much of a personal relationship. Gold Coin was not amiable in his dealings. It was all about the atmosphere; when it was time to haggle, he’d haggle, and when it was time to raise prices, he’d raise them.
However, it can only be said that 7th Tier troops and heroes are probably impossible to kill.
Aside from the lack of a price.
But that was enough. Other lords would need various Special Resources to recruit 6th and 7th Tier troops, not something that could be done with mere coins like Qin Muye did. This meant quantity was limited; it wasn’t possible for everyone to be 7th Tier.
Zhu Ming wouldn’t obstruct the other party making money. Compared to resources, he valued more the increase in strength.
And the Heavenly Demon God had entered the territory of the Star Cluster Empire, but because of his territory and personality, he didn’t become a member of the Star Cluster Empire. Instead, he became an interstellar pirate. The Star Cluster Empire issued him a looting certificate, so as long as he didn’t raid the fleets of the Star Cluster Empire’s forces, it wasn’t considered a crime within the empire’s territory; rather, it was a legal gain.
And the True Dragon Emperor had the same idea, hoping to learn something about the Endless Abyss from Gold Coin’s mouth.
The two chatted for a while longer, and finally, citing busy governmental affairs, Zhu Ming had someone take Gold Coin out for a tour.
The two sat down and talked about a lot, and Gold Coin was adept at handling the conversation. After all, being a merchant, he had met many people. As long as their interests weren’t involved, he could speak with ease to anyone.
Fortunately, Zhu Ming was quite satisfied with the business of buying mechas and getting armor, especially since they were Divine Artifact Level. Additionally, Gold Coin’s pricing was exactly what Zhu Ming expected, especially since this expectation was the original price; after a 20% discount, how could he not be satisfied?
After a quick review, Zhu Ming felt shock and trepidation. He had thought that Qin Muye’s claim that he could easily kill a rank 7 was an exaggeration, but if the data here was accurate, it was indeed possible to kill a rank 7 at will.
The handover went smoothly, and no incident like that of the Warlock Dynasty occurred.
However, there was a cost, specifically the need to accept conscription and deployment by the Star Cluster Empire, so in reality, he became someone to do the dirty work.
After chatting about trivial matters and each subtly probing into the other’s situation, they finally got to the main point.
Why trade with goods when one can simply plunder?
Zhu Ming certainly knew how to use a tablet computer. After arriving in the Shining Universe, he definitely had to learn to use technology; otherwise, he might be labeled a country bumpkin.
What merchants value is making money. Whether to approach others amicably depends on their strength. Now that they’re strong, they must make money harmoniously. If it was like in the 7th rank server, they would just snatch it directly.
Strength is the foundation, not so-called feelings. Talking about feelings with an emperor is simply seeking death.
The mecha and armor delivered by the other party were definitely profitable; why else would they sell it, just to attract attention?
Although receiving a substantial amount of standard Divine Artifacts enhanced the strength of his territory, it was still limited compared to real powers.
He has also progressed, evolving his Holy Dragon Nest into the Thousand Dragons’ Land, but this was nowhere near the transformative leap from Floating City to Endless Abyss.
Although he presented himself as a genial merchant, he also understood the concept of no-profit business; if able to plunder, there would be no need for trade.
That’s why he said things were negotiable because he was prepared to tailor the price according to the individual, which certainly would not be the same across the board.
He was quite curious about the changes in Qin Muye; he remembered when they left the Magic Continent Server, Qin Muye was only rank 4 and his territory was just a Floating City.
He was slightly better off. The other two fared a bit worse. The one of Supreme Truth almost got his territory destroyed after accidentally entering the Holy Sect’s domain. In the end, due to the special nature of being a Lord, he was taken in by the Holy Sect and became one of its high-ranking members, although he faced many restrictions.
He didn’t believe that they would sell anything scarce, and since they admitted that what they were selling was outdated, it indicated that they had better things and thus were willing to sell the old.
He had no complaints; at least from the current situation, this Lord’s favor towards him was not low.
On the other hand, the Supreme Truth who suffered a severe defeat received support from the Holy Sect and grew in power, surpassing the Heavenly Demon God.
It was impossible to say there were no results; he had a similar unit specializing in scientific research among his forces. The products were satisfying before, but after witnessing Qin Muye’s dominance, he became aware of the gap between them.
Qin Muye has now become a rank 7 Lord and still ranks first on the leaderboard, or else Zhu Ming wouldn’t have played the card of emotions.
By the same token, it’s possible to infer just how powerful the Endless Abyss really is.
For Qin Muye, Demon Statue Level Mecha and Stone Ghost Level Armor came as a set, but for Zhu Ming, there was no need to bundle them because he couldn’t afford to do so.
With equal power established, the thoughts of annexation dissipated, and thoughts of cooperation emerged. This is a matter of force majeure.
The thousand nine hundred mecha and one thousand nine hundred sets of armor brought this time were not a big problem, as long as the payment was settled.
Whilst overt aggression between these two powers had ceased, economic pressures and occasional probing assaults by their proxies continued unabated, something the Alliance of All Things could not stop, relying solely on oneself. In the end, it was still a matter of insufficient strength; otherwise, why would they dare to make these moves?
As the first Lord to arrive in the Shining Universe, he had endured quite a while and also became a member of the Alliance of All Things, which spared him from the incursions of the Star Cluster Empire and the Holy Sect. It was also good fortune that his territory wasn’t situated within the domain of these two powers.
