"Ten billion..." When Aesop heard such a quotation, he was really troubled beyond measure.
The difference between the expected one trillion and ten billion is a hundred times.
Admittedly, he did promise to do whatever the Digital Phantom did with it.
And without the protection of the other party, I don't know what kind of trouble I would be in now.
Not to mention anything else, just the black shadow that was scared away just now can bring disaster to the family.
He understood the truth, but now after hearing about 10 billion, he still felt uncomfortable, but he did not dare to object.
After a moment of hesitation, he said, "Can this cash be exchanged for supplies, such as... talismans?"
Anyone can calculate this account. Which one is more valuable, 10 billion in cash or 10 billion in goods not for sale?
Aesop has recently made serious inquiries about the Digital Phantoms and knows what valuable resources these people have in their hands.
It's such a precious resource that he definitely shouldn't open his mouth. A talisman is enough. This thing has a price but no market.
Qu Jianlei couldn't help but shook his head, "Ten billion talismans... you really dare to think about it."
Aesop replied calmly, "I also want to ask if I can get a discount if I buy so many."
Qu Jianlei shook his head, "Put is the guarantee, and we will only sell 5 billion talismans to the Tianfeng Military Region, and we will give you 2 billion at most."
Aesop was stunned for a moment and asked, "This Pu...who are you talking about?"
Qu Jianlei replied, "In the past, the military's supreme leader was known as the military's top master, but now he is the supreme leader."
"It's him," Aesop nodded thoughtfully. Do you all call the name of the Supreme Being casually?
"What you said about helping my family, can you replace it with... sending two outstanding disciples to practice with you?"
Qu Jianlei's expression became weird, "Send your disciples to practice...or two?"
I have seen lions with their mouths wide open, but you are not a lion anymore, you are basically a glutton, right?
Aesop understood how outrageous his request was - of course, maybe he only thought he understood it.
"My lord, please listen to my explanation."
He does have his own reasons, because after the transaction with the other party is completed, almost everyone will know the news.
In the empire, no one dares to openly touch the Digital Phantom, but it is still okay to pester his family.
Including, but not limited to, turning the family upside down.
We are currently in an extraordinary period, and the empire has great power to investigate and understand what private individuals have in their hands that would be beneficial to the empire.
For the Yayi'an family, Digital Phantom's promised move allows them to withstand the covetousness of others.
But it is impossible to withstand all kinds of twists and turns, not to mention the possibility of facing malicious intentions from the Federation and the Alliance.
In view of these considerations, Aesop said: I would rather not ask for your help and just take my two children away.
Of course, once a child joins the Digital Phantom, even if there is no chance to make a move, the deterrent effect is still there.
However, these reasons made Qu Jianlei a little speechless. These factors do exist objectively.
In the end, he said: Let's do this, 20 billion in cash plus 2 billion in talismans, and a chance to make a move.
In addition, he allowed the Yayi'an family to declare to the outside world and receive their protection.
If someone ignores this statement, Qu Jianlei will send someone to punish him.
However, these actions are not counted in the opportunity to use the phone - after all, the digital phantom also wants to save face.
In the final analysis, Qu Jianlei would rather spend a little more money than absorb the children of the other family.
If money can solve things, don't talk about other things.
For Qu Jianlei's team, 20 billion is a large amount of expenditure, and he does not think that his expenditure is small.
In the current market of divine treasures, prices have indeed skyrocketed, and they are the culprits.
It was obvious that those people had no use for the things they had brought, but if they insisted on hyping up the expectations, wouldn't it be Qu Jianlei's own team who got screwed in the end?
Don't talk about double standards, that's pure nonsense. Qu Jianlei considers himself to be a very particular person.
People in the Empire never recognize Madonna watches, Blue Star only produces those things!
So he can't spend more money.
If the other party still doesn't recognize it, you want one trillion? I'm sorry, you don't know how to be in awe, why should I be in awe?
This time Qu Jianlei's attitude was quite firm, saying that this was the final bottom line, and if he didn't agree, he would give up the deal.
However, how could Aesop give up the deal? Even if he really wanted to, he didn't have the courage.
His final request was: If Digital Phantom decides to openly recruit new members in the future, I hope my children will be considered first.
Regarding this point, Qu Jianlei did not rule it out. He answered simply: No problem, priority will be given under the same circumstances.
After the two of them agreed on the matter, the issue of delivery came next.
Qu Jianlei didn't bring that much cash, nor that many talismans.
The number of energy blocks is enough, but he is not crazy - the energy blocks were obtained with great difficulty.
So he just paid a deposit, saying that someone would settle the matter within half a year.
It must be admitted that the reputation of Digital Phantom is very valuable now, and Aesop also accepted this method of payment.
He even said: Just for your team's brand name, you can borrow hundreds of billions from the bank. If it's inconvenient now, just give it back.
As he was talking, a B-level clansman called the clan leader from a distance.
Qu Jianlei already knew what was going on, so he stood up and said, "I'm leaving."
After a pause, he said, "Tell the people in the military that we are still improving the methods for detecting spies."
After saying that, he flashed his body and disappeared into the night.
Aesop was stunned for a moment, then walked to the tribe and asked, "What's the matter?"
It's true as the mysterious man said, the military just took the initiative to contact the Yayi'an family, hoping to have an indirect conversation with the Digital Phantom.
The purpose of the conversation is to learn from the digital phantom how to accurately identify spies.
Aesop was not surprised by this request. The digital ghost really has too many unique skills.
What surprised him was that someone as powerful as the military, with such a legitimate need, didn't dare to come to him?
You know, people from the military are not far away. Recently, there have been soldiers coming and going near the family station.
Even if he told the Digital Phantom's reply truthfully, in the face of such a vague answer, the military actually said thank you for your hard work.
After all, you have to achieve this step in life to be considered high-spirited...
While he was sighing, Qu Jianlei had already teleported to Iron Jupiter through the remote teleportation array.
After returning to Yanyutai, he began to carefully study the harvest this time, and his first target was those shells.
Qu Jianlei only knew a little bit about the six-yao divination technique before, but after getting the fortune-telling stele, he studied it carefully.
But it was just a theoretical study. I actually tried divination and found that it was not the case at all.
He didn't know whether his theory wasn't up to par, or whether the props were inappropriate - after all, the world was very unfriendly to cultivators.
Now he was sure that the tool was indeed out of hand. He could sense the truly suitable tool from a long distance away.
After two days of rest, Qu Jianlei entered the quiet room and concentrated on studying the fourteen shells.
Yi He also came in, he was the only one in the team who was interested.
Seeing the other person looking over and over and closing his eyes to feel, he couldn't help it anymore, "How much do you know about Li Bu?"
When Qu Jianlei heard this, he asked in surprise, "The left and right are just six lines. Is it important whether it is a divination or not?"
"Of course it's important!" Yi He replied seriously, "Jade and copper coin divination are just derivatives later."
"Only this shell is the earliest medium for divination. Heaven's secrets are linked to the ancient times, so we must not be careless."
"Uh..." Qu Jianlei was speechless. This is really true. How did the ancient human race know how to polish jade and forge copper coins?
But he really didn’t know that different tools could make a big difference. “Is the difference big?”
"It's very big," Yi He replied without hesitation, "Li Bu interferes with the greatest secret, has the best effect, and has the strongest cause and effect."
Aren't you talking nonsense? Qu Jianlei twitched the corner of his mouth, okay, cause and effect...then you really have to be cautious.
"Senior Yi He, you seem to be good at divination too?"
"I only know a little bit, I don't even dare to say a little bit about it," Yi He answered very modestly, "You know, I am a casual cultivator."
Whether it is a true transmission of one sentence or a false transmission of thousands of books, the gap between whether it is true or not is so huge that casual practitioners are not worth mentioning at all.
Qu Jianlei didn't mind, "I grew up in the desert of cultivating immortals. I might as well be a casual cultivator. What good advice do you have, senior?"
"How many people in this world know the Six Yao?" Yi He replied disapprovingly.
"As for suggestions, Tianji divination is more than just six lines. Six lines are just the most basic. Do you understand this?"
Qu Jianlei nodded, "I understand, three shells are used to calculate and take the meaning of three lives and all things, but if you want to calculate accurately, do you need more?"
"That's what it means," Yi He replied, "so of these ten shells, nine are worth using, and every one of them must be cherished."
Can you not cherish it? A wry smile appeared at the corner of Qu Jianlei's mouth. The 20 billion was just gone. He nodded, "Do you need a tray?"
Yi He hesitated and replied, "It's good to have them, but the tortoise shells of the world of immortality are hard to find in this world."
"As for the jade plate, I don't think the rouge jade in this world can be of much use."
"But in the final analysis, what you sense is still the shell, and this is the main body of the calculation."
"Then find a piece of rouge jade and carve it into a jade plate," Qu Jianlei made a decision.
You must be cautious when calculating Tianji, and you must try your best to get even a little bit of help.
Qu Jianlei actually has rouge jade in his hands. He hoped that there would be quite a few of them on Star 4, and he had also harvested some elsewhere.
He only had some small accessories like necklaces and top-grade rouge jade, and he didn’t remember where he got them.
He really didn't care about these decorations before. He was always growing up or running away, so he couldn't think of these things.
However, he had a few pieces of large pieces of rouge jade of inferior quality - it was just a tray, so it didn't matter if they were of inferior quality, right?
