Chapter 1447 What is Yi saying (Second update)
"Ten billion..." When Aesop heard such an offer, he felt extremely conflicted.
The difference between the expected one trillion and ten billion is a full hundred times.
Indeed, he did promise to let Digital Phantom do whatever he wanted with it.
And if it weren't for the other party's protection, we don't know what kind of predicament we would be in now.
Let alone anything else, just the black shadow that was scared away just now could bring devastating disaster to the family.
He understood the logic, but now after hearing about the 10 billion, he still felt uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to object.
After a moment's hesitation, he said, "Can this cash be exchanged for supplies, such as... talismans?"
Everyone can do the math: which is more valuable, 10 billion in cash or 10 billion in items not for sale?
Aesop had recently inquired seriously about the affairs of Digital Phantom and knew what valuable resources these people held.
It was too precious a resource, so he definitely wouldn't ask for it. The talisman would be enough, and this thing was in short supply.
Qu Jianlei shook his head in a helpless manner, "Ten billion talismans... you really dare to think of it."
Aesop replied awkwardly, "I was also wondering if I could get a discount for buying so much."
Qu Jianlei shook his head. "With Put as guarantor, we will only sell 5 billion talismans to the Tianfeng Military Region. The maximum we can give you is 2 billion."
Aesop was stunned for a moment and asked, "Who is this Pu...who are you talking about?"
Qu Jianlei replied, "He used to be the supreme commander of the military, known as the best expert in the military, but now he is above the supreme commander."
"It's him," Aesop nodded thoughtfully. Is this the name of the Supreme Being? Do you just call it casually?
"Can you change your request to help my family by... sending two outstanding disciples to practice with you?"
Qu Jianlei's expression turned strange. "Send out disciples to practice... or two?"
I've seen a lion with its mouth wide open, but this is not a lion, it's a glutton, okay?
Aesop understood how outrageous his request was—of course, maybe he just thought he understood it.
"Sir, please listen to my explanation."
He does have his 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 offend Digital Phantom, but it is still possible to tangle with his family.
Including but not limited to, turning the family upside down.
These are extraordinary times, and the Empire has great power to investigate and find out what is in private hands that may be of benefit to the Empire.
For the Yayan family, Digital Phantom's promise to help them will allow them to withstand the covetousness of others.
But it is impossible to withstand all the troubles, not to mention the possible hostility from the Federation and the Alliance.
In view of these considerations, Aesop said: I would rather not have your help, I just want to take my two children away.
Of course, once a disciple enters the Digital Phantom, even if there is no chance of escape, the deterrent effect is just right.
However, his reasons left Qu Jianlei speechless, as these factors did exist objectively.
Finally, he said: How about this, 20 billion in cash plus 2 billion in talismans, and a chance to escape.
In addition, he allowed the Yayan family to declare to the outside world that they were under his protection.
If anyone ignores this statement, Qu Jianlei will send someone to punish them.
However, these actions will not be counted as opportunities to attack - after all, Digital Phantom also has to save face.
After all, Qu Jianlei would rather spend a little more money than absorb the children of the other family.
If money can solve the problem, don't bother with other things.
For Qu Jianlei's team, 20 billion is a considerable expense, but he does not think that he has paid too little.
The prices in the current market for divine treasures have indeed been driven up dramatically, and they are the ones who started it all.
It was obvious that those people had useless things in their hands, but they insisted on hyping up expectations. In the end, weren't they the ones who got hurt? Qu Jianlei's own team.
Don't talk about double standards, that's pure nonsense. Qu Jianlei thinks he is a decent person.
The people of the Empire never recognize the Virgin Mary Watch, those things are only produced on Blue Star!
So he couldn't spend more money.
If the other party still doesn't agree and wants one trillion? 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. He said that this was the final bottom line and if they did not 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 last request was: If Digital Phantom decides to recruit new members in the future, he hopes that my children will be considered first.
Qu Jianlei did not rule out this possibility. He answered straightforwardly: No problem, they will be given priority under the same circumstances.
After the two of them agreed on the matter, it was a matter of delivery.
Qu Jianlei did not bring that much cash or that many talismans.
The number of energy blocks was sufficient, but he was not crazy - the energy blocks were hard to come by.
So he just paid a deposit, indicating that someone would come to settle the bill within half a year.
It must be admitted that the reputation of Digital Phantom is now valuable, and Aesop also accepts this payment method.
He even said: Just with the reputation of your team, you can borrow hundreds of billions from the bank. If it is inconvenient now, just come back and give it back.
As they were talking, a B-level tribesman called out to the chief 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 military that we are still perfecting the means of detecting spies."
After he finished speaking, he disappeared into the night.
Aesop was stunned for a moment before walking up to the tribesman, "What's the matter?"
Just as the mysterious man said, the military took the initiative to contact the Yayan family, hoping to have an indirect dialogue with the Digital Phantom.
The purpose of the conversation is to learn from Digital Phantom how to accurately identify spies.
Aesop was not surprised by this request, as Digital Phantom had so many unique skills.
What surprised him was that as powerful as the military was, they didn't dare to come to him with such a legitimate demand?
You know, the military people are not far away. There have been soldiers appearing near the family’s base recently.
Even though he conveyed Digital Phantom's reply truthfully, the military actually said thank you for their hard work in response to such a vague answer.
One must eventually reach this point in life to be considered vigorous and energetic...
While he was sighing, Qu Jianlei had already been teleported to Tiemu Star through the long-distance teleportation array.
After returning to Yanyu Terrace, he began to carefully study the harvest this time, with the primary target being the shells.
Qu Jianlei only knew a little about the art of Liu Yao divination before, but after obtaining the Taoist stele with the character Yun, he studied it in detail.
But it's just theoretical research. I actually tried divination and found that it's not the case at all.
He didn't know whether his theory was not good enough or the props were not suitable - after all, this world was not very friendly to those who practiced Taoism.
Now he was sure that the tools were not suitable. He could sense the right tools from a long distance away.
After resting for two days, Qu Jianlei entered the quiet room and concentrated on studying the fourteen shells.
Yi He also followed in. He was the only one in the team who was interested in this.
Seeing him turning the table over and over and even closing his eyes to sense it, he couldn't help but ask, "How much do you know about Li Bu?"
Hearing this, Qu Jianlei asked in surprise, "It's just the six yao, is it important whether it is divination or not?"
"Of course it's important!" Yi He answered seriously, "Divination with jade and coins is just a later development."
"This shell alone is the earliest medium for divination. It is related to the ancient times and must be used with caution."
"Uh..." Qu Jianlei was speechless. This was indeed true. How could the ancient humans know how to polish jade and forge copper coins?
But he really didn't know that different tools could make such a big difference. "Is the difference big?"
"Very big," Yi He answered without hesitation, "Li Bu's interference with the secrets of heaven is the greatest, the effect is the best, and the cause and effect is the strongest."
Aren't you talking nonsense? Qu Jianlei's mouth twitched. Well, cause and effect... we must be careful.
"Senior Yi He, you seem to be good at divination as well?"
"I only know a little bit, I can't even say I'm a master of it," Yi He answered modestly, "You know, I'm a casual cultivator."
True transmission is just a single sentence, false transmission is ten thousand books. The difference between true transmission and false transmission is so huge that casual practitioners are not worth mentioning at all.
Qu Jianlei didn't mind. "I grew up in a desert of immortal cultivation. I'm not as good as a casual cultivator. Do you have any good suggestions, senior?"
"How many people in this world know about Liu Yao?" Yi He answered disapprovingly.
"As for the suggestion, Tianji Gua divination is more than just six lines. Six lines are just the most basic. Do you understand this?"
Qu Jianlei nodded, "I understand. The three shells are used for divination, which means the three give birth to all things. But if we want to calculate accurately, we need more?"
"That's what I mean," Yi He replied, "So of these ten or so shells, only nine are usable, and every one of them should be cherished."
How could I not cherish it? Qu Jianlei smiled bitterly. Twenty billion was gone just like that. He nodded, "Do you need a tray?"
Yi He hesitated for a moment and replied, "Of course it would be great to have it, but the tortoise shells from the world of cultivation are hard to find in this world."
"As for the jade plate, I don't think the rouge jade from this world is of much use."
"But in the final analysis, what you sense is still the shell, which is the subject of divination."
"Then find a piece of rouge jade and carve a jade plate," Qu Jianlei made the decision.
Divination must be done with caution, and it is necessary to try one's best to get even the slightest bit of help.
Qu Jianlei actually had some rouge jade in his hands. He had hoped that there were quite a few on Planet No. 4, and he had also obtained some elsewhere.
He only had some small accessories on his hands, like the top-grade rouge jade necklace, and he couldn't remember where he got them from.
Before, he really didn't care about these decorations. He was always in a state of miserable development or escape and didn't think about these things at all.
However, he had a few large pieces of rouge jade of lower quality in his hands - it was just a tray, so it didn't matter if the quality was lower, right?
