Chapter 1731 We Got Three Weeks Then!
"Well… He said if you just want the ten sectors, each will cost you one hundred million blue-grade bones… If you want extra around, he can provide triple this, amounting to thirty-three sectors in total. However…"
"However, what?" Hye didn't object to the price, it was the cheapest so far out of what he heard from her.
"The extra zone pokes into the forbidden zone," She looked at the pirate king, and the latter moved his head away as if he knew Hye was going to accept such a crazy offer."
"What's the forbidden zone?" but Hye didn't get it, and the nymph lady could understand why.
"It's the area that's considered grey, in between the two universes, without anyone claiming ownership," the pirate king said, "It's very dangerous, and lots of wars raged in this area. The initial war started at this zone, and legend says it belonged to us, lost it at first, then reclaimed it. Since then, we have gone back and forth around it. So…"
His words had a clear message to Hye; Don't ever touch that area, it's deadly!
And yet the latter did exactly as the two expected, didn't reject such an offer, and instantly signed the contracts over the ownership of each sector, and other deals as well.
He paid tons of his bones, and this was by far the largest deal he made after the end of the apocalypse. He even doubted he ever struck such a huge deal before with anyone at the time of the apocalypse.
"You are crazy," the pirate king kept repeating whenever Hye received a contract and signed it. The nymph lady remained silent, knowing that Hye showed how truly unfathomable he was.
She was like everyone else in the universe, thinking Hye had a limited supply of his bones. They got all the reasons to feel so, as his bones were considered a novel thing in the entire history of the universe.
And yet he kept showing signs that he had an endless supply of them as if he could make them just by thinking or something.
"How long do we have before everything is delivered?" Hye finished signing everything, and now all that remained was to wait for everyone to deliver what they promised.
He knew his interests were protected by the system, and yet he wanted to know how long before he got his hands on everything.
"Two weeks at most," she paused, "the ownership of these sectors will be handed to you in a day or so. That seller is generous enough to offer an army of experienced…"
"Don't want any," Hye interrupted her words, "thank him for me, but let him evacuate the entire area and leave everything to me."
"Isn't it better to have them around?" the nymph lady couldn't understand why he firmly declined, "we are still in need of forces to defend us…"
"He doesn't want any spies over what he's going to do, right?" the pirate king got what she didn't. And when he said it like this, she realised why Hye refused firmly like this.
"How about the rest?" he asked, ignoring this point totally, "How long will they get here and install everything?"
"The artificial worlds will be delivered in ten days," she paused, checking over something on her interface before adding up, "they'll bring them in the form of metallic balls. At the moment of their release, they'll expand and turn into gigantic worlds. It won't take more than a few days to get it done. But…"
"The shield is what bothers me," Hye paused, "How long do we have before they bring it here and give us instructions to build it?"
"Two weeks," she sighed, "that's just to bring it here. If you let them install it, then we'll take a week or so. But…"
"Hmm…" Hye never thought such a task would take a long time. But he still didn't change his mind about letting his warriors learn how to install these, "I got the right people to do the task. Anyway, we got two weeks then… Let those artificial worlds wait for this time, to arrive here after we installed everything.``
"Ok," she didn't object and relayed the news, while the pirate king asked:
"We have two weeks, roughly three if we are going to wait for the shield to get installed. What shall we do during this time?"
"What else?" Hye shrugged, "We'll train our forces. Take out your fleet, and I'll take mine. We'll supervise the training of my warriors, let them have a taste of how to fly a ship in space, how to evade, and how to fight."
"This…" The pirate king still felt pain whenever he recalled this point. He blamed his talkative mouth for bragging about having such a large number of ships. And now these ships would be taken away from him.
"Don't worry, I will hand over part of them in the end," Hye said as if he was the one acting generous here as if all the ships belonged to him. And that was true if we were speaking technically here.
Hye went out and took tons of ships that he looted before. The nymph lady did the same, as she had many ships that she didn't have time to hand over to Hye.
As for the pirate king, he was the last to join the party. When he saw the tens of thousands of different ship models and sizes standing motionless in space, he didn't feel that bad anymore.
"You got too much for a single raid battle!" he said in envy, while Hye shrugged.
"I didn't lose much back there, didn't join the fight using my ships as you can tell."
"Ah, that Soulers tactic is awesome! You should lend me a few, okay?"
"If you are willing to share their burden," Hye rolled his eyes, and the pirate king seemed pretty scared when he heard that.
"Forget it, I'm not a monster like you," he said in a bitter tone, making Hye and the nymph lady laugh at him.
