Chapter 357 Speak of the devil and he will appear
Secretary Peng tried his best to persuade them and finally appeased both sides.
It’s time to inquire about the price.
He no longer prayed that Rong Xingye could help him get a price that was in line with his family's wishes.
I just hope he keeps quiet and doesn't provoke this little girl again...
"This didn't cost much, and that good-looking, sweet-talking boy isn't that greedy." Chen Jinyue said coldly, "Plus, the survival rate isn't high. You'll need to spend more time and energy to cultivate it, so I'll give it to you."
Rong Xingye, “…”
Secretary Peng couldn't tell if she was serious or just angry, so he quickly said, "No, you can't do that. You still have to give it to her! He's giving it to you, not to us!"
Chen Jinyue, "Really? No need. The survival rate is not high, and your usage rate will definitely decrease. I have a suggestion."
Secretary Peng, "What?"
"The function of the stabilizer is to inhibit the flow of time within the space and prevent the decay of stored items. However, most storage rings are only used to store fixed items like weapons or starships, and don't need the 'preservation' function."
"Then remove this ingredient and only add it to a small number of high-end storage rings..."
This can reduce costs without affecting the basic functions of the storage ring.
Secretary Peng smiled and said, "To be honest, we already had this plan. Most storage rings don't contain this luxurious ingredient. The stabilizer is mainly used for other purposes."
Chen Jinyue, “???”
Other directions?
Oh yes, she remembered.
At that time, Song Tianyu also said that star vine is also the raw material for extracting some precious medicines.
So they didn't intend to use it as a storage ring from the beginning?
She silently gave him a thumbs-up and said, "Okay, that's great. If you need anything in the future, feel free to tell me."
A polite closing remark also means seeing the guest off.
Unexpectedly, Secretary Peng just sat there without moving, smiling at her even more brightly.
Chen Jinyue, "...Is there anything you need right now?"
"Miss Chen is smart!"
Secretary Peng spoke softly, his praise coming across as particularly sincere. "I told you before that there's something called a psychic crystal in the storage ring. It can connect to consciousness waves, allowing you to store and retrieve items with your mind. You should remember that, right?"
Chen Jinyue nodded, "Do you need this?"
Secretary Peng shook his head, then nodded. "The information they provided indicated that this ingredient originated from a psychic planet, but we're unable to locate it. We've only found a substitute..."
It was also given by the other party, the quantum brainwave decoder.
It can be easily put together by piecing it together.
But later on, it was gradually discovered that most mechas, small weapons, and large starships needed this kind of crystal in order to connect with the operator's brain waves.
"When it comes to the use of the driver, a replacement won't work, so we decided to ask if we can purchase it."
“…”
Hearing him being so cautious, Chen Jinyue guessed that this material was very rare and difficult to purchase?
She was silent for a few seconds. "I'll try, but I can't guarantee I can get it."
Secretary Peng was grateful. "I'm glad you're willing to try. By the way, has Academician Liu made any progress in his research?"
Chen Jinyue looked at him puzzledly, feeling that he had something to say.
"If there's some progress, perhaps it could be used as a bargaining chip?" Secretary Peng said, stopping short. "Of course, I'm just offering suggestions. Ultimately, it's up to Ms. Chen to decide."
Chen Jinyue frowned, "It's hard to say, it's quite complicated. Anyway, I'll try my best."
If it is a scarce resource, it must be the resource of the entire galaxy, and it is impossible for Song Tianyu or even the Song family to make an easy decision.
It is even more unrealistic to use the progress of soil research as a bargaining chip.
This matter was planned by the Song family themselves, and the Star Alliance didn't know about it.
…
After seeing off Secretary Peng and his group, Chen Jinyue sat in the pavilion in a daze.
She seemed to have heard Song Tianyu mention it.
They said their storage rings are now out of production.
Mainly because some resources are gone.
If they can find a substitute, I hope to share it with them.
So what if this psychic crystal is really gone? Secretary Peng seems to really want it.
I used to be very tactful and didn't interrupt, but now I'm giving her negotiation advice...
"Miss Chen, is there anything on your mind?"
Perhaps it was because she had never sat in the yard in a daze for such a long time, which triggered some of Xianxing's active skills, and he began to step forward and try to enlighten her.
Chen Jinyue glanced at him and said, "I think this yard is a bit monotonous. I want to add something."
Xianxingshi was dumbfounded, "You don't want me to join?"
Chen Jinyue smiled, "Be more certain and remove the 'no'."
Holding a star, “…”
Maybe she had been silent for a long time before and looked really "sad", so Xianxing rarely showed any wit. He thought for a moment and asked decisively.
"What would you like to add?"
"Let's add a swing next to that flower stand. Can you do it?"
"Of course, it's a piece of cake. Next time that woman comes over, ask her to give me some solid wood."
When Xianxing heard that it was not a big problem, he immediately agreed.
The woman he was talking about was naturally Si Yu.
Timber trading is done regularly, in small quantities, and they can harvest and plant trees at the same time, so they won't completely wipe out the trees...
The autumn harvest should be coming to an end over at Si Yu's place, so she'll be free soon, right?
As my thoughts turned, a figure walked into the courtyard.
It’s Si Yu.
"Speak of the devil and he'll appear." Chen Jinyue stood up and greeted her with a smile.
Si Yu had just delivered a batch of timber some time ago, so this time he didn't bring a lot of trading items, he just carried a simple homemade bag in his hand.
Seeing Chen Jinyue there, he also greeted him with a smile, "I thought I wouldn't be able to see you this time, luckily you are here."
Chen Jinyue was puzzled, "What's wrong?"
Si Yu opened the bag and took out the things inside. "This is for you. Take a look. Can you wear it?"
Chen Jinyue took it subconsciously and looked at it carefully.
Very good silk material.
When unfolded, it is a simple skirt.
The dark green juice dyed it unevenly, and the hem of the skirt bore the imprint of small wildflowers. Amidst the romantic colors, there was a touch of clumsy cuteness...
"So beautiful, did you make this too?" Chen Jinyue said in amazement.
After Si Yu and her family started raising silkworms, they often gave her gifts.
But the gifts I gave before were all simple little gifts.
For example, scarves, fans, lanterns, etc.
They are also in the learning stage, and all of Si Yu's styles are learned from the tablet.
The overall style is refined yet rough.
The styles are exquisite, but if there are many small accessories or patterns that are not available, she will find those that are available in primitive tribes. As a result, those small handicrafts have a strong imprint of the times and a very distinct personal touch.
Chen Jinyue liked them very much and kept them all in the collection room.
However, she never expected that she would learn how to make skirts so quickly.
Seeing how satisfied she was, Si Yu smiled even brighter. "Yes, I made it. Although this dress is useless to us, I saw that you really like wearing it, so I made it for you."
"It's useless to you?" Chen Jinyue didn't react for a moment.
Si Yu nodded. "It's inconvenient to work or run around. It's easy to get scratched by branches, and it's hollow inside."
Chen Jinyue, “…”
Chen Jinyue, “???”
She explained sincerely, "Actually, when I put it on, I was wearing something underneath, so it wasn't empty."
