Chapter 1702 Making A Deal!
Smiggy felt like he lost something great just now. He kept his silence for an entire minute, but William felt how anxious and bitter the man was.
And seeing him like this made Hye feel satisfied. Smiggy kept getting on his edge all the time, and it felt great to let the man feel such a feeling even for once.
Putting that aside, Hye was now curious to go up there and try this spaceship in actual battle. He wanted to see why Smiggy considered it a treasure, something that he desperately wanted to get.
He looked inside his inventory and found that he had around five more of these. He didn't know if they were this precious, how come they were present in such a big number then? If it was this special, it should be one of the kind, right?
He didn't know that these came from the Hescos his forces killed during the previous spree of looting the bases. This spaceship was special not just for its high speed and firing abilities, but also for its ability to hide from any radar or detection devices. And it has a very special feature, one that would enable it to bypass any defensive formation, just like the one surrounding this world!
"Last chance," Smiggy seemed to be regretting not making such an exchange with Hye, "your spaceship in exchange for three medium-sized and two thousand small ships… It's a very great deal…"
"I know, the more it looks good the more I will refuse," Hye laughed, "just drop it and think about what you shall do to get one of these."
"Tsk! What a stubborn human you are!"
"If you added one big ship to these, I'll consider," suddenly Hye said, making Smiggy pause and freeze in his place for a long minute.
Hye didn't just have this ship but also had four others. So it'd be profitable if he sold one for such a large number of ships. But he knew Smiggy wouldn't agree, as this was a big spaceship after all, a flagship!
"I accept," yet against what he thought, Smiggy accepted the deal, "Get out from this ship, I'll get this!"
"No need," Hye shrugged, "I got others of these anyway."
"... What the hell are you? A f*cking monster? A monster blessed with luck?!!!"
Smiggy now realised why Hye kept teasing him with his rejection and silence all this time. He had more of these special ships and wanted to get the best deal for a single one of them.
"Will you do it or not?" After staying silent for a few minutes, Hye said, "If not, then let me go. I want to go out there and see what I can get from that war."
"I've sent the ships over," Smiggy knew Hye was enjoying this moment, "send mine back."
"Done," Hye was pleased by that, "if you want more, keep in touch with me. I may get more of these, hahahaha!"
"Screw you," Smiggy knew he paid much more than what a single ship was worth. But that wasn't something to be estimated by its mere value, but with its rarity and special abilities.
Such abilities were priceless for someone like him. In fact, Smiggy knew even without his help, Hye was able to go up there alone, escaping any defences and limitations set by the forces of this world.
"Set tight, I'll send you away in ten minutes," Smiggy paused again, looking at Hye and the nymph lady who both were sitting inside the small spaceship.
The spaceship was looking like a fighter, a big one indeed. It reminded Hye of the old timed boomers in the second world war. It had two broad wings, a central deck, and lots of firing guns on its full body.
It didn't have a tail, but simply and abruptly ended with a broad semi-circular part. This was the main difference between this and any old fighter of Earth.
The main deck was enough to accommodate dozens of people, all had their seats, arranged in circles, around a central two seats where Hye and the nymph lady sat.
These two seats were facing many screens with lots of dates appearing on them. There was a control unit in front of each seat, with lots of buttons and switches there. Hye's seat had two long sticks, ones that'd control the movement, speed, and pull complicated manoeuvres by this spaceship.
"Do you know how to fly these?" Smiggy knew Hye came from a place without any knowledge or experience with such stuff. As for the nymph lady, she was a merchant, one that didn't need to fly anything on her own like now.
Not to mention, this wasn't a merchant spaceship, but one that was made to kill and fight in deadly space battles.
"I saw many beads," Hye gave out such a silly excuse, making Smiggy unable to respond, "don't worry, it's not like I'm flying these in the middle of a bustling city! It's a space, an open and grand place without anything to smash or hit."
"..."
Smiggy wanted to stop Hye from going up there, but he felt like anything he'd say would be pointless. Trying to fly the spaceships just with this mindset and zero training? That was suicidal!
Yet he kept everything he wanted to say deep inside him and started to activate the portal installed in this bunker. This was something that came with any highly classified bunker like this, in an attempt to flush the valuable goods away, and send them to the space where the thieves wouldn't get them or anything.
Yet such a failsafe procedure wasn't activated this time. And that was thanks to the presence of many hostile forces up there. Yet Smiggy planned to use such a method and send Hye up to space.
As Smiggy was taking care of these, Hye was trying to familiarise himself with the many things in front of him. He watched many beads speaking about spaceships and how to fly them.
