In the interstellar era, any force is extremely large and has no shortage of people. Even if those who have fallen were high-ranking members of these forces, in the eyes of the other high-ranking members, gaining an opportunity to purchase advanced warships is still a very worthwhile deal.
In fact, they believe that even getting a discount is a great deal.
In the Cordis Empire, even a major power might not possess a single top-tier warship of the sixth-level technological civilization. Besides the fact that warships of this level are hard to acquire, another reason is that they are very expensive, making them unaffordable.
Even a small discount could represent the profits accumulated by a family business over many years, making it exceptionally significant.
Compared to this, what does the injury of just one or two people matter?
According to Zhao Gang and Fang Ao, the more people a faction loses, the greater the discounts they can receive. Some factions that wanted to buy warships, after learning about this rule, even hoped that more of their people would die in the battle just now.
However, this has already happened, and the battle just now was beyond their control.
For someone to be sent to their death, they must be willing to die.
Soon, all of the dozen or so top-tier warships of the sixth-level technological civilization, as well as the low-level warship of the seventh-level technological civilization, were sold.
Sure enough, it was much more cost-effective than selling it on the cosmic trading system.
Lin Yun obtained a total of over 180 billion spiritual crystals.
Let him really replenish his balance in the cosmic trading system.
However, this transaction almost completely drained, and even overdrawn, the wealth of this administrative planet.
Because many factions do not have enough spiritual crystals to purchase warships, they borrow from factions with which they have good relations, from financial institutions, and sometimes even from several factions to scrape together enough spiritual crystals.
Other undamaged forces almost entirely did not purchase warships because Lin Yun did not offer them discounts. Some of the stronger forces used the quotas of those who had suffered losses to buy them.
At first, it was just a test, but later, seeing that Lin Yun and his group didn't care, they mostly did the same.
This allowed some of the injured parties, who lacked the resources to purchase warships, to reap a significant profit.
Everyone was happy.
A day later, Lin Yun and his group left the administrative planet.
Head towards the royal family of the Cordis Empire.
This time, they were no longer using that top-tier warship of a level 6 technological civilization, but a top-tier warship of a level 7 technological civilization.
They have already revealed their strength on that administrative planet, and many people know about their power. Presumably, it won't be long before the news reaches the royal family, so there's no need for them to hide it anymore.
A top-tier warship of a level 7 technological civilization, with even faster flight speed.
...
A dozen days later, Lin Yun and his party arrived at the royal palace of the Cordis Empire.
"Guest Minister Fang, His Majesty invites you and all distinguished guests to come inside..."
The message was quickly relayed, and soon an official of considerable rank arrived. He was extremely nervous and polite, his old face beaming with a smile that was almost like a flower in bloom.
It was clear that the Cordis Empire's royal family had received information about the battle between Lin Yun and his group and the Sky-Piercing Blood Sword group.
They knew that Fang Ao had a group of people with terrifying strength by his side, so they naturally dared not be negligent.
"Honored guests, I am the Emperor of the Cordis Empire. I apologize for not greeting you properly." As soon as Lin Yun and his party entered the palace hall, a man dressed in the imperial robes of the Cordis Empire hurried over and said.
This was a middle-aged man with a rather imposing aura.
"Your Majesty is too kind," Lin Yun said with a slight smile.
"The main reason I've come here is to ask Your Majesty whether the Cordis Empire's royal family has any plans to purchase warships at the level of a seventh-tier technological civilization. If so, I have some such warships here." After a pause, Lin Yun continued.
Get straight to the point.
Unlike their previous encounter with the Northeast King of the Cordis Empire, they now possessed sufficient strength and the means to be direct and straightforward.
“This…” the middle-aged man hesitated.
"What?" Lin Yun frowned.
In his view, if even a king of the Northeast was willing to purchase a warship of the seventh level of technological civilization, then the royal family would naturally also purchase a warship of the seventh level of technological civilization.
Does this attitude mean they don't want to do business with him?
"I wonder what the price of your warship is, esteemed guest..." Seeing Lin Yun frown, the middle-aged man dared not hesitate any longer and quickly asked.
"A low-grade warship of a level 7 technological civilization requires 40 billion spiritual crystals; a mid-grade warship of a level 7 technological civilization requires 150 billion spiritual crystals; a high-grade warship of a level 7 technological civilization requires 300 billion spiritual crystals; and a top-grade warship of a level 7 technological civilization requires 500 billion spiritual crystals," Lin Yun said, giving the Emperor of the Cordis Empire a deep look.
His offer to the Emperor of the Cordis Empire was much lower than the offer he made to the King of the Northeast, especially for the last two classes of warships, each of which cost at least hundreds of billions of spiritual crystals.
The highest-level, level-seven technological civilization-grade warships are even half the price.
Based on his speculation about some information regarding the Cordis Empire's royal transactions, this offer was quite generous.
As Lin Yun offered his price, the Emperor of the Cordis Empire's expression kept changing.
"To be honest, the price offered by our distinguished guest is not high. However, we have already purchased a large number of warships at the level of a seventh-level technological civilization. Now, we can only purchase two warships of each grade..." The Emperor of the Cordis Empire quickly said, forcing himself to speak.
Purchasing two warships of each class would yield a total of nearly two trillion spiritual crystals.
This can be considered a way of supporting the other party.
Moreover, they also gained eight warships, so compared to the previous price, it wasn't a huge loss.
If we can send these people away, then it's worth it.
"You recently purchased a large number of warships at the level of a seventh-level technological civilization? I wonder how long ago that was?" Lin Yun frowned.
What a coincidence!
Even a powerful figure from the Northeast, with each warship costing such a high price, still managed to purchase three trillion spiritual crystals worth of warships from him.
A royal family purchasing warships with only two trillion spiritual crystals is clearly far from what he envisioned.
"Three months ago, the royal family purchased more than a hundred warships at the level of a seventh-level technological civilization, including more than twenty top-quality warships at the level of a seventh-level technological civilization. The expense was enormous..." The emperor of the Cordis Empire said with a slight wry smile.
As he spoke, he relaxed slightly.
Revealing the number of warships they purchased recently serves both to illustrate their difficulties and as a subtle display of military power.
Tell them that they are also quite strong.
They just don't want to turn against you. Once they do, you should consider whether you can handle so many warships.
Those warships were only the ones they purchased last time. The strength of the Cordis Empire's royal family, on the other hand, was the result of countless years of accumulation. Their total strength was an unknown quantity.
Upon hearing the number of warships mentioned by the other party, Lin Yun's expression changed.
Isn't it said that the management between advanced and low-level civilizations is very strict? It's not easy for the Cordis Empire to purchase warships of a level 7 technological civilization.
Why are they buying hundreds of ships at once?
Furthermore, there are also top-tier warships at the level of a seventh-level technological civilization...
Didn't they say that the Cordis Empire had never purchased a warship of this class?
Was something previously concealed, or is this the beginning of a new transaction?
Hundreds of warships at the level of a seventh-level technological civilization, and more than twenty top-tier warships at the level of a seventh-level technological civilization...
Such a big order!
We almost passed each other!
Lin Yun felt a pang of regret and resentment.
Three months ago... just three months ago...
If I had known, he would have come sooner; then, this order might have ended up in his hands!
That's a huge profit!
