Chapter 1903 - 1896: Let’s Think of a Name First
"Oh?"
Zhang Menglong didn’t actually hold much hope, after all, this should be a very difficult thing. Labadie was just a client manager, to put it simply, a senior sales agent. The people he could reach were limited, so it wasn’t surprising if he couldn’t get it.
But unexpectedly, Labadie said he could handle this matter, which pleasantly surprised Zhang Menglong.
"Can you really manage it?" Zhang Menglong confirmed.
"Yes!" Labadie nodded, "But it’s impossible to offer you at the price of 10 level nine Crystal Cores, at least 11!"
"Explain further!"
Zhang Menglong could completely accept this price.
After all, all these Spectral Grass were controlled by Fortress City, their purchasing price was already 10 level nine Crystal Cores. If there was a channel, they would surely make a profit, otherwise, who would be willing to take such a big risk?
"Here’s the thing, Mr. Gu," Labadie lowered his voice, "In the whole Fortress City of Luosai, the daily sales volume of Soul Shard Suppressors exceeds a hundred billion, which converts to a daily purchase of over ten million Spectral Grass. Compared to this basic figure, twenty thousand is not a big number at all!"
Zhang Menglong estimated that just the survival squad of Banak consumed over a hundred thousand Soul Shard Suppressors in a month, with a daily usage of several thousand.
There were only a few Fortress Cities, and the survival squad required far more than a hundred million of them. Perhaps even the daily count of a hundred billion Soul Shard Suppressors was underestimated, so much so that purchasing over a hundred million Spectral Grass daily wasn’t impossible, and twenty thousand might not even be a significant fraction.
"As you know, Spectral Grass is just one of the raw materials for Soul Shard Suppressors. During the production process, there is inevitably some loss, and here we only need to control the loss to below 0.2%. In other words, even if tens of thousands were missing daily, it would be within the tolerable range!"
"Do you have a way?"
"I have a friend who is responsible for the production of the Suppressors. They have long thought of this, but couldn’t find buyers, and the risks are too high, so no action has been taken. If you have this idea, I can contact them for you!"
"For 20,000 Spectral Grass, I am willing to offer 15 level nine Crystal Cores per piece to purchase!"
Labadie’s eyes lit up. If it were just 11 level nine Crystal Cores, his friend might still need to consider it, but now that it’s raised to 15, he was tempted to agree on behalf of his friend right away.
"Great! I’ll contact them for you!" Labadie gave his contact information to Zhang Menglong, "Whether it succeeds or not, I’ll get back to you in three days, but my friend might need to see your sincerity first..."
"That’s no problem," Zhang Menglong naturally knew the other party wanted to see his sincerity.
"Here are a hundred thousand level nine Crystal Cores," Zhang Menglong directly handed him a small space storage device, "Tell your friend these 20,000 might just be the beginning, I may need more Spectral Grass later!"
Zhang Menglong’s plan was simple; he first needed a batch of Soul Dividing Pills to win over a large group of strong individuals. Otherwise, even if his city was established, it would quickly be targeted by others.
He could refine Soul Dividing Pills and decrease damages caused by space dislocation, and he also had a large amount of meat. Regardless of who you were, you would covet this city, and he needed sufficient strength to protect this cash cow.
"Okay!"
...
After Zhang Menglong completed all this, the batch of Soul Shard Suppressors also reached his hands, just at this time Banak had also completed his procurement.
He had never used so many level nine Crystal Cores to purchase these things before; now he was simply like a tycoon, especially as he also learned that Zhang Menglong had a large amount of meat, this mentality became more apparent.
He almost bought everything he couldn’t bear to buy before, yet even so, his stock of ten thousand Crystal Cores was not used up.
After gathering with Banak, they headed towards their original survival base.
But just at this moment, Banak suddenly received news from the survival squad.
This was the thing they feared the most, space dislocation occurred!
They had lived in this original camp for less than half a year, and many had just adapted to life here.
The temporal space was a lair of tiger-shaped Phantom Profound Beasts, whose average life levels reached Divine Cultivator Eighth Grade. Such Phantom Profound Beasts were a strenuous challenge even for Martial Artists at the peak Dao Realm, and although there were several powerful Dao Realm cultivators in the survival squad, the whole camp was nearly half destroyed.
When they arrived, those Phantom Profound Beasts had all been killed, leaving over twenty thousand eighth grade Crystal Cores and 12 ninth grade Crystal Cores, but the entire survival base had almost turned into rubble, everyone was enveloped by a sad mood.
Although Zhang Menglong’s more than eight thousand brothers could handle these ordinary Phantom Profound Beasts, the leader of this group was actually a formidable Dao Realm creature; the few Dao Realm Martial Artists in the group were each injured, and everyone was somewhat overwhelmed.
Each face was full of frustration; no one expected that something like this would happen in just these three days.
Moreover, a more dangerous issue was that when space dislocation occurred in an area once, it would usually provoke a massive riot of Phantom Profound Beasts nearby, even though the invading Phantom Profound Beasts were cleared out, this place was no longer safe.
"Alright, everyone, don’t be upset anymore," Zhang Menglong said, "It’s destruction, sure, but now everyone can live freely in a new place."
"It’s easy for you to say. Even if we go to a new place, everything has to start over again, who knows when the next space dislocation will happen. An outsider like you doesn’t understand?"
It seemed that the despair crushed someone, making it seem like Zhang Menglong’s words were those of someone speaking without facing the reality.
Zhang Menglong wasn’t angry either; he could empathize with their current mood—who could remain calm in such a situation?
"Everyone, trust Brother Gu this once!" Just then, Banak spoke up for him, "Look at this, what is it?"
"Soul Shard Suppressors?"
"So many? Can our Crystal Cores buy this much? There must be hundreds of thousands!"
"That’s enough for each person to have one!"
"There are over a million suppressors here! All gotten by Brother Gu!"
Banak’s words stunned everyone. He actually managed to secure so many Soul Shard Suppressors—a purchase usually needing a thousand level nine Crystal Cores!
"I originally wanted to keep a low profile, but if I don’t show it, no one would trust me!" Zhang Menglong shook his head, "I’m not asking everyone to come with me, but the first batch of people who help build the city will be its original inhabitants, who can enjoy construction dividends and various benefits that later populations won’t. Consider it carefully; I’ll wait for you for half an hour only!"
Zhang Menglong turned and asked Wu Yang and the others, "How about it? What’s the area like?"
"Very high, fertile soil, pleasant environment and climate, except now there are lots of Phantom Profound Beasts roaming."
"No big deal," Zhang Menglong shook his head, "We’ll build this city soon, let’s all think of a name for it first!"
