Fang Ao chuckled to himself as he watched this scene unfold.

As expected, the Lord's talent astonished this King of the Northeast.

Thinking back to how shocked he was back then, Fang Ao found a sense of balance in Bo Donghai.

"Yes." Lin Yun glanced at Bo Donghai and nodded slightly.

"Now that the transaction is complete, we'll take our leave," Lin Yun said.

After saying that, he stood up and turned to leave.

"Brother Lin, Brother Lin, please wait a moment..." Bo Donghai called out hurriedly.

At this moment, he finally believed that Lin Yun was not a member of the imperial family.

Because even members of the imperial family would never have a spiritual power at the peak of level nine in their twenties.

Could it be that the other party is truly a descendant of a level seven technological civilization, or even one of the most elite ones?

Because, apart from the children of that level of power, he really couldn't imagine how the children of ordinary forces could reach this level.

So, here's the question.

If the other party is not a member of the imperial family, but is truly a descendant of a level-seven technological civilization, then could he buy a few more warships?

In the Cordis Empire, warships of the seventh-level technological civilization are extremely difficult to acquire, even with money.

Moreover, the opponent not only has low-grade warships at the level of a seventh-level technological civilization, but also warships of higher grades, and even top-grade warships at the level of a seventh-level technological civilization.

Also, the other party's price is very cheap.

If you miss this opportunity, you might never have another chance.

"Is there anything else, Your Highness?" Lin Yun stopped and asked.

"Brother Lin, I'd like to buy a few more warships. Is that possible?" Bo Donghai said with an awkward smile.

“No problem, but this price is not the original price,” Lin Yun nodded.

"What do you mean by what Brother Lin said?" Bo Donghai had a bad feeling and frowned slightly.

"The price I previously paid to Prince Bo was partly out of consideration for Fang Ao, and partly because it was our first transaction. I was giving Prince Bo face, and the previous price was only valid once. Now, a low-grade warship of a level seven technological civilization will cost 50 billion spirit crystals, and there will be no further discounts. A mid-grade warship of a level seven technological civilization will cost 200 billion spirit crystals, and a high-grade warship of a level seven technological civilization will cost 500 billion spirit crystals," Lin Yun said slowly.

"What?" Bo Donghai's expression changed drastically, followed by a surge of anger.

Previously, a warship cost only 30 billion, and there were discounts available, with the lowest price being 26 billion per ship.

Now, it costs 50 billion per ship, and there are no discounts, which means he has to pay almost double the price.

In his view, this was simply a scam.

Many people are like this: they are grateful for a small favor, but resentful of a heavy one.

Once someone gets used to taking advantage of others, they might feel like they've been taken advantage of if they're ever prevented from doing so.

If Lin Yun had offered him 50 billion spirit crystals and was willing to sell him a higher-grade warship, he would probably have been very happy and grateful to Lin Yun.

Now, however, the opposite is true.

However, Lin Yun was not very clear about the market conditions of this civilization before, but now that he has a rough idea, he is naturally unwilling to suffer too much loss.

At the same time, he was very dissatisfied with Bo Donghai's constant questioning, which was the main reason why he was determined to raise prices and not offer discounts.

Otherwise, he would still be willing to accept a discount.

It's a highly profitable business anyway.

“Brother Lin, I admit that I had some doubts about your background before, and I was quite negligent. Please forgive me and I apologize. However, isn’t this price a bit of a joke? It’s almost double the original price.” Bo Donghai took a deep breath and apologized very sincerely.

It must be said that this Northeast King was very shrewd; even in his fury, he managed to suppress his anger and speak in a humble tone.

Considering his status and position, it is quite remarkable that he has achieved this.

“As I said, I only agreed to the previous price because of Prince Bo and Fang Ao. I believe Prince Bo knows very well how much a low-grade warship of a seventh-level technological civilization is worth.” However, Lin Yun no longer gave him face and shook his head.

Upon hearing Lin Yun's words, Bo Donghai's expression shifted.

The anger he had just suppressed surged up again, but Lin Yun's words reminded him that he didn't know how much Lin Yun had earned on a low-grade warship of a level seven technological civilization.

However, a low-grade warship of a seventh-level technological civilization and 50 billion spiritual crystals are not unacceptable in the Cordis Empire, especially since the specifications of these warships are even higher than those purchased by the imperial family.

In addition, he had no connections.

The other party is selling warships of even higher grade.

Even under the current conditions, it's very likely that if you miss this opportunity, you'll never have another chance.

"Even if the deal falls through, we can still be on good terms. If Your Highness doesn't agree to the price, we'll leave." At this moment, Lin Yun saw that Bo Donghai had been silent for a long time, so he spoke again.

After saying that, he turned to leave again.

"Brother Lin, please wait..." Bo Donghai hurriedly called out, his heart almost bleeding as he spoke.

If he had known there would be such a big price difference between the first and second purchases, he would have bought more warships the first time.

A low-grade warship at the level of a seventh-level technological civilization is still a small matter. Since the other party has warships of a higher grade, he naturally wants to purchase even more advanced warships. In any case, the number of mental power experts required is the same.

Even so, each warship is incredibly expensive.

If he agrees to buy a more advanced warship the first time, it might be at a similarly low price, which would be a huge bargain.

What a pity, what a pity.

At that moment, he felt extremely regretful.

"Brother Lin is selling a mid-grade warship of level seven technological civilization for 200 billion spiritual crystals. That price is fine. However, isn't the price a bit too high for a high-grade warship of level seven technological civilization? According to the data and strength of each grade, the strength of one high-grade warship of level seven technological civilization is not as good as two mid-grade warships of level seven technological civilization. Also, you haven't mentioned the price of the top-grade warship yet..." Bo Donghai gritted his teeth and said.

"You're right that one high-grade warship of a level seven technological civilization is not as strong as two mid-grade warships of the same level. However, I didn't misprice it, because in a level six civilization, the difference in significance between a high-grade and a mid-grade warship of a level seven technological civilization is huge. Prince Bo should be aware of this..." Lin Yun glanced at the other party and said.

A warship of the seventh-level technological civilization level requires one hundred seventh-level mental power users to control perfectly, or ten eighth-level mental power users to control perfectly, or one ninth-level mental power user to control perfectly.

Generally speaking, a level seven civilization naturally has more such powerful individuals than a level six civilization, and not just a little more.

Even a difference of just one level can result in a significant gap in the strength of two civilizations, a gap that manifests in various aspects.

Based on this alone, the value of a high-grade warship at the level of a sixth- or seventh-level technological civilization is far greater than that of a mid-grade warship at the level of a seventh-level technological civilization.

Similarly, in a level 6 civilization, the value of a top-tier warship at the level 7 technological civilization level far exceeds that of a high-grade warship at the level 7 technological civilization level.

“This…” Bo Donghai’s face turned even more grim.

However, he had to admit that what the other party said made a lot of sense.

"A top-tier warship at the level of a seventh-level technological civilization. If Your Highness desires it, I won't ask for much; one trillion spirit crystals will suffice." After a pause, Lin Yun continued.

“One trillion spiritual crystals…” Bo Donghai took a deep breath.

This is not a small amount for him either.

A prince like him could possess dozens of top-tier warships at the level of a sixth-level technological civilization. Even with considerable strength, the price of a single top-tier warship at the level of a seventh-level technological civilization would be enough for him to produce 150 top-tier warships at the level of a sixth-level technological civilization himself.

This shows just how expensive this price is.

However, in terms of strength and significance, a warship of a level 6 technological civilization is far inferior to a warship of a level 7 technological civilization.

Especially a top-tier warship at the level of a seventh-level technological civilization. If he could actually possess one, then it would be entirely possible for one warship to be equivalent to a fleet of a hundred top-tier warships at the level of a sixth-level technological civilization.

Apart from cultivators at the peak of level ten, no other cultivators can teleport in, which is a very important point.

"I want to buy one top-tier warship of a level 7 technological civilization, two high-tier warships of a level 7 technological civilization, and five mid-tier warships of a level 7 technological civilization." Bo Donghai remained silent for a long time, and just as Lin Yun was becoming impatient, he finally spoke.
