Chapter 904: I Can Add Money!
w.a.n.g Teng gave Di Qi a strange look. This fellow was also quite cheeky!
He made a threat sound so refres.h.i.+ng. What a unique way of doing it.
“Don’t look at me like that. I mean what I say. I won’t pressurize you with the Great Qian Empire,” Di Qi explained when he saw everyone’s expression.
Kloet: …
What was the size of the psychological trauma Kloet was experiencing?
He had lost all hope. He couldn’t afford to provoke the Great Qian Empire. He didn’t believe the silver-haired young man when he said that he wouldn’t use the empire’s name to pressure him.
He had heard a rumor in the past. A heaven-stage martial warrior went to chase his enemy, but he escaped to the Great Qian Empire. The enemy gave another heaven-stage martial warrior from the Great Qian Empire a piece of treasure and sought refuge under his wings.
The martial warrior from the Great Qian Empire agreed to his request, but the other heaven-stage martial warrior didn’t want to give up.
He decided to challenge the heaven-stage martial warrior from the Great Qian Empire. The result was predictable. The heaven-stage martial warrior was tragically defeated.
It wasn’t because the heaven-stage martial warrior from the Great Qian Empire was more powerful. It was because he was a baron, so he activated a troop from the Great Qian Empire and gained the help of two other heaven-stage martial warriors. They won in numbers, forcing the other party to admit defeat. He even had to apologize by offering much of his wealth before his life was spared.
…
This situation was common in the universe.
In the universe, you needed ability, status, and power. If even one was missing, you would have to lower your head and keep a low profile.
Kloet didn’t think that he would meet such an awkward situation when he was just chasing a martial warrior from an underdeveloped planet.
What else could he do? He had to swallow his anger and admit defeat!
He glared at w.a.n.g Teng as if he wanted to etch his face in his heart.
He hated him to the bones.
w.a.n.g Teng wasn’t afraid though. He glared back at him without hiding the killing intent in his eyes.
“Old man, we’re not done yet. Remember what I said,” w.a.n.g Teng said.
He didn’t have the ability now, so he needed the power of the Great Qian Empire to force his opponent to lower his head. This had nothing to do with his own strength.
But he believed that after some time, he could rely on his own two hands to kill his enemy,
“Hmph!” Anger raged in Kloet’s heart. The killing intent in his eyes ran havoc, but he remained silent. After a while, he snorted and left.
His s.p.a.cecraft was nearby. The cabin door opened, and he stepped in. Then, the s.p.a.cecraft turned into a beam of light and disappeared into the vast universe.
“Tsk, young man, you’re a bold fellow. You dare to threaten a cosmos-stage martial warrior.” Di Qi gave w.a.n.g Teng a weird look.
“We’re already arch enemies. I have nothing to be afraid of,” w.a.n.g Teng replied calmly.
“Aren’t you afraid that he will get desperate and charge over to kill you? I won’t help you again,” Di Qi replied indifferently.
“I have my way of protecting myself. Even if you don’t help me, I’ll be able to escape. I can hide and lay low for a while,” w.a.n.g Teng said. He that is down needs fear no fall.
“Oh?” Di Qi looked at him curiously.
Although he believed w.a.n.g Teng, he was curious about where he got his confidence from. However, he didn’t probe further. Everyone had secrets. He was just more interested in w.a.n.g Teng. He chuckled and said, “Come with me.”
“What about my s.p.a.cecraft?” asked w.a.n.g Teng.
“Ask your intelligence to sail it over and park it in the dock for now,” Di Qi replied.
w.a.n.g Teng nodded. He connected with Round Ball and asked it to drive the s.p.a.cecraft over.
“QY-E63! It’s an antique.” Di Qi was surprised when he saw the s.p.a.cecraft.
w.a.n.g Teng was also astonished. Di Qi recognized the model of this s.p.a.cecraft. Mind you, it was over a million years old. Who would remember it?
“I’m a s.p.a.cecraft enthusiast. Are you willing to sell it to me? I can give you a fair price,” Di Qi said suddenly.
w.a.n.g Teng: …
He didn’t know that this was what he was thinking.
“w.a.n.g Teng, you can’t agree.” Round Ball got agitated and started screaming in w.a.n.g Teng’s mind.
“Don’t worry. Am I a money-lover?” w.a.n.g Teng rolled his eyes.
“You are!” Round Ball said firmly.
w.a.n.g Teng: →_→
He ignored Round Ball. To prove his innocence, he turned and said to Di Qi in a righteous tone, “An elder left this for me. I won’t sell it.”
“I can add money.” Di Qi was straightforward. “30 billion GQC. What do you think?”
“How much?” w.a.n.g Teng suspected that he had heard wrong.
30 billion in GQC?
How much money was that?
If Di Qi wasn’t beside him, he would raise his fingers to count. The sum was so huge that he couldn’t calculate it mentally.
He remembered that the materials needed to make this QY-E63 s.p.a.cecraft cost 7.6 billion GQC. Thus, this s.p.a.cecraft should be worth 30 billion, right?
He was wrong.
Round Ball couldn’t remain calm anymore. It shouted, “What? He’s willing to fork out 30 billion GQC?”
“Is 30 billion a lot?” w.a.n.g Teng was puzzled.
“What do you know? This s.p.a.cecraft is at most worth 20 billion. I didn’t think that this Di Qi is willing to spend 30 billion GQC on it. Oh my G.o.d, he’s an idiot!” Round Ball’s eyes lit up.
“Are you saying that we should sell it?” w.a.n.g Teng confirmed with uncertainty.
Who was the one who didn’t want to sell it at first? Why did you change your mind? Can you be firmer?
Round Ball: (ー` ́ー)
“So, shall we sell it?” w.a.n.g Teng teased.
“Cough…” Round Ball coughed awkwardly. It sounded a little embarra.s.sed as it said, “Why don’t…”
“You seem to be hesitating. Forget it. I don’t like to s.n.a.t.c.h from others.” Di Qi thought that w.a.n.g Teng didn’t plan to sell it since he had remained silent for a long time. He shook his head in pity.
Round Ball: …
w.a.n.g Teng: …
“Not bad, you’re able to resist the temptation of 30 billion GQC,” Di Qi complimented w.a.n.g Teng.
“My elder left it for me, so I can’t sell it for money,” w.a.n.g Teng said in a serious tone.
“You have your principles. Not bad. If you had sold it for 30 billion, I might have looked down on you.” Di Qi patted w.a.n.g Teng’s shoulder and asked, “Your elder is the one who asked you to bring this baron token to the Great Qian Empire, right?”
“Yes.” w.a.n.g Teng nodded.
“What’s this elder’s name?” Di Qi asked.
“Can I tell him?” w.a.n.g Teng asked in his heart.
“Yes,” Round Ball replied.
“Nangong Yue.” w.a.n.g Teng told Di Qi the name.
“Him! I remember that he went to catch an escaped convict a million years ago and never came back. The spiritual flame left in the Empire’s Baron Tower was extinguished. It looks like he has died!” Di Qi exclaimed in surprise.
