Chapter 168: 1,000 Stalks of Sword Intent Gra.s.s!
Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
Clayton felt that money was enough no matter what.
How many treasures like sword intent gra.s.s could there be?
Even if there were 20 stalks, it would only be a trillion.
For the country, this money could still be taken out, although… It was not a small amount.
“Alright!”
Andrew smiled.
He had been waiting for these words.
He began to calculate in his mind how many strengthening points he needed.
He now had two million strengthening points on him.
If he wanted to condense the golden core, he needed at least ten million strengthening points.
That was to say, he was still short of eight million strengthening points.
Every time he sold a portion of sword intent gra.s.s, he would receive forty thousand strengthening points.
That was to say, if he wanted to break through to the Golden Core Stage, he would need to sell at least two hundred and fifty portions.
This was not the end.
His Nine-layered Thunder Blade was also about to break through to the ninth layer. He estimated that it would also need ten million strengthening points.
In other words, he would need to sell another 250 stalks.
In total, it would be 450 stalks.
Moreover, even if he sold so many stalks, he would not be able to upgrade it twice. He might still need to strengthen some random things and also need to draw the lottery.
“Andrew, give me a number. How much sword intent gra.s.s can you provide?”
Andrew pondered for a moment.
He said in a low voice, “I can provide 500 pieces. Is that enough?”
“How many?” Clayton was shocked.
According to his estimation, at most, a few dozen pieces would be not bad.
For a treasure like sword intent gra.s.s, even if it could grow between heaven and earth due to the recovery of the spiritual essence, the quant.i.ty could not be too much.
It could not be everywhere.
But after hearing Andrew’s words, Clayton spat out a mouthful of coffee.
“Chief, what’s wrong?”
In Clayton’s office, Tyrone was there too.
He asked curiously.
Clayton ignored him. He still held his phone tightly and asked nervously, “Say it again? Is what you said true?”
Andrew frowned.
He said unhappily, “Are you crazy?
“I said 500 portions just now. Would I lie to you?”
Andrew thought for a moment. Could it be that Clayton felt that it was too little?
“How about… I work hard and get you another 500, a total of 1,000 stalks?”
Andrew said with a smile.
He could get as much sword intent gra.s.s as he wanted.
Of course, the more he sold, the better. One set of sword intent gra.s.s could earn him 40,000 strengthening points. If he sold 1,000 sets, it would be 40 million strengthening points. It was enough for him to squander.
In any case, the other party was the country.
If the country’s money was not enough, they could open a money printing machine to print it.
This had nothing to do with Andrew.
As long as the money was received into the account, the system would give him strengthening points.
Inflation and such had nothing to do with Andrew.
Anyway, even if he received the money, he wouldn’t spend it. To him, it was just a number.
“One thousand blades of sword intent gra.s.s!” Clayton’s hands were trembling.
One had to know that a treasure like the sword intent gra.s.s was extremely precious.
Andrew could actually take out one thousand blades of sword intent gra.s.s in one go?
Clayton was extremely shocked.
Just how rich was this kid Andrew?
A bold idea emerged in his mind… How about robbing Andrew?
However…
Clayton gave up on it when he thought of Andrew’s strength and methods.
This kid had too many tricks up his sleeves. It wouldn’t be easy to rob him.
…
After hanging up the phone, Clayton looked at the white wall in a daze.
“Chief, what’s wrong?”
Seeing Clayton’s expression, Tyrone felt a little strange.
“How many blades of sword intent gra.s.s did Andrew say he had?
“Ten? Twenty?
“That’s 500 billion? One trillion?
“But no matter how much there is, you have to give one-third of it to the Ministry of Education! We have to take this share!”
Tyrone muttered to himself.
“We’ll deduct it from the education funds. Even if it’s a few hundred billion, I think it’s worth it.
“It’s too difficult to train experts now. It’s very difficult for martial arts colleges to produce warriors of the sixth rank, even if they’re stuck at the spiritual power level.
“With the help of the sword intent gra.s.s, there’s no need to go through so much trouble. Choose some talented students, and after consuming the sword intent gra.s.s, they’ll definitely become top ninth rank warriors! This money is really worth it!”
After Tyrone finished speaking, Clayton laughed out loud.
“Are you sure you want one-third? Hahahahaha!”
“What are you laughing at?” Tyrone frowned.
“Andrew said that he can provide one thousand stalks of sword intent gra.s.s, and you want one-third? Are you sure you have that much money?”
“What did you say?”
Tyrone suddenly stood up.
His eyes were wide open as he stared at Clayton.
“This is impossible. How can there be a thousand of these treasures? It must be a lie!”
Clayton shook his head.
“Andrew, this kid, although he’s a little unreliable, he has never lied to anyone. I think… there really are a thousand of them!”
“Tyrone, go contact Evans and report it to the country. See how much money the government can approve?”
This was not a small amount after all.
The country was not a cash cow.
A thousand blades of sword intent gra.s.s was equivalent to 50 trillion U.S. dollars!
Before the recovery of the spiritual essence, the GDP of the United States was only around 20 trillion U.S. dollars a year.
The news of a thousand blades of sword intent gra.s.s immediately spread among the higher-ups of the United States government.
Whether it was the Ministry of Education, the military, the Martial Arts Bureau, or the White House, they all got the news.
And ordinary warriors also saw the posts on the Warriors’ forums.
But this was not the most popular post on the forums.
The most popular news now was Andrew!
An eighteen-year-old Grandmaster Thunderblade was already a top-notch powerhouse!
And he had even defeated all the descendants of the Holy Lands.
Pescadero’s Anaconda King and Alaska’s Snow Leopard King were all killed by Andrew!
He stood in the arena, challenging the pinnacle of the Holy Lands. No one dared to accept the challenge!
There was even a peak of the Holy Land that was defeated by Andrew with one punch, displaying a terrifying combat strength!
Grandmaster Thunderblade!
To be precise, it was…
King Thunderblade!
Whether it was Andrew’s battle videos or the news of the sword intent gra.s.s, they all spread wildly on the internet, even going viral abroad.
Many martial artists went crazy.
Especially those who practiced sword techniques, they all wanted a stalk of sword intent gra.s.s.
Just one stalk!
In the future, their path of cultivation would become unimpeded!
“I’m an eighth stage golden body martial artist, and you guys aren’t even willing to lend me 50 billion! I just need to crazily hunt demonic beasts, and I’ll be able to pay it off in a year!”
A martial artist barged into the bank and roared at the bank president.
“I can’t do anything about this either.”
The bank president was also in a difficult position.
The Ministry of Finance had issued a notice that apart from the normal funds of the bank, all the liquid funds had to be transferred to the main bank account. They could forget about giving a loan to others.
The Ministry of Finance, and even the U.S. government, needed a large number of funds. It seemed like they were going to make some big moves.
