Chapter 1730 Hye, The Tycoon!
"Oh, that means…" Hye turned to the nymph lady, and the latter rolled her eyes.
"Energy sources are a problem to others, not you!"
"You mean my bones?" Hye grinned evilly, and she couldn't help but think about slapping his face every time he boasted about his bones.
"I get it then," he turned towards the map, where a large circle surrounded an enlarged part of it, "Tell the seller that I want everything he can offer to me."
"This… do you even know how much we are speaking about right now?!!" She was totally shocked, but Hye didn't even consider any of what she just said.
"And tell the ones making my artificial handmade planets to deliver them here, the same goes for the protective shield makers, got it?"
"..."
"You… You are crazy!!!" Even the pirate king couldn't control himself, "The price of buying a sector here may be small compared to any other place in the universe, but it's still quite an astronomical amount of wealth… And you want ten of them!!!"
"I want everything, not just ten," Hye corrected him, turning to the nymph lady to make sure she got what he meant, "Tell him to give me everything, round it up by using these bones as a standard method of payment."
He took five bones, all were the grades of his normal bones starting from green up to dark gold grade. She accepted them in a monotonous way, without showing any emotion on her face, as she was still stupefied by his craziness.
"Don't blame me if the price came in ten figures!" she left this comment, trying to shake him back to reality. And yet he never cared.
Ten digits? That wasn't something impossible for him. He knew he was going to spend a ton of his bones this time, enough to make him feel the loss. But these were all normal bones, and he already got more than enough to pay a hundred times such an offer.
Not to mention he could get more anytime he wanted by going to any ongoing war and collecting the bones from there.
In addition to all this, he was building up his base, one that would mark his true beginning in this universe. He didn't like how he performed so far, running away like a coward, hiding and jumping from one world to another.
This was going to be his permanent base, the one he'd use to unleash endless campaigns, train his forces, and even invade the other universe.
And with the presence of the pirate king and the nymph lady at his side, he was sure this base would turn out to be quite scary in the eyes of many forces in the universe, another layer of protection indeed.
But he had to think and consider the start phase of all this, consider the future as well. If he left any area around uncontrolled by him, then the same seller would sell these to any force in the universe, inviting more trouble to him.
He preferred to suffer a bit of a loss today, than suffer a ton more tomorrow. At the same time, he wanted to control as much area as he could, so he wouldn't face such a problem again in the future.
"You do know you are going to sell your liver for this, and it won't be enough!" the pirate king sighed, before thinking for a moment there, "on another thought, even if you sold both kidneys, it won't do!"
"We'll see," Hye laughed and didn't care that much about what he just said. He waited for the final response from the seller and the people making his formation and artificial planets.
His wait didn't last more than a few minutes this time. The nymph lady turned to him with a face that spoke for itself. It seemed as if she was telling him: Told you about it, warned you not to do it!
"Just tell me how much they want…"
"Well… Let's start with things we already agreed on," she cleared her throat before adding, "The formation guys are ready to deliver it in around one week. They want half payment now, and half when we receive it. A special delivery process with a special type of contract will handle the process. As for installing it, it's either on us, or they can send technicians to do the task…"
"I don't want anyone to come here," Hye strictly refused, "plus it's better for my people to learn how to fix all this, learn all the ins and outs, right?"
"Sure, but that will take time to do, not to mention the anchor points can get damaged. I already sent the updated surface area that's needed to get covered, and they ran the numbers…"
"And?" Hye didn't like such a great detailed report without getting directly into the main point. How much would this cost him exactly?
"Well… They want two billion bones, all at silver grade… This…"
"Deal!" Hye didn't even hesitate in the slightest. This figure wasn't as high as he expected it to be. After all, he expanded the area to cover a huge stretch of space, not just the initially limited area he was supposed to obtain and control.
"Are you sure?!!! Are you nuts?!!!" the pirate king screamed from the side, but Hye never cared about his opinion.
"You do know once I send the confirmation, they'll send me a contract that you'll sign," the nymph lady tried to warn him again, and yet he was determined to close the deal.
"Do it," he firmly said, "how about the artificial world makers? How many have they made yet? And how much do they need?"
"Ahem… Okay, they have made around fifty worlds so far, each one costs one million pale gold-grade bones… So…"
"Deal!" Hye acted like real tycoons should. He never showed any care or worry about the price tag presented to him, only agreeing without even hustling around the price, "How about the seller of this area? How much does he want?"
