Chapter 245 Transaction
Inside the room, hearing the words uttered by the Spider-Man in his hand, Berlitt's face suddenly darkened. He didn't expect that what he was worried about just now had come true at this moment.
"As expected, those guys bought 'Qi' first and then turned around to attack us. No, we have to take action now..."
Berlitt thought seriously in his heart, and then he immediately spoke to the human-faced spider in his hand.
"Some other unexpected events have occurred on my side. The original purchase plan has been hindered. If the purchase is to proceed smoothly, I am afraid I will need additional support. We still underestimated those guys."
Berlitt said this seriously, and then the human-faced spider also spoke curiously.
"Extra support? What happened? What support do you want?"
"Funds, I need more funds! Those guys acted faster than us, and their financial resources are stronger than we thought. They bought a lot of 'Qi' from the White Stonemason Association before us. Now the price of 'Qi' there has risen sharply, and the money here is not enough to cover it!"
Berlitt continued to say that they did not think that the mysterious society was a very large organization at first, so they directly used divination. However, they did not expect that the other party's background and financial resources were so strong beyond their imagination. The price of "Qi" was driven up so high in one breath. They must have spent a lot of money to buy it in one breath.
"This is actually the case... It seems that we misjudged them quite seriously at the beginning..."
"It's too serious. Now we have to pay great attention to them! I am applying for a dream world gathering. Everyone must know the current situation. We are now facing a test and need to discuss the symmetry immediately."
Berlitt said this so seriously. He knew that the information security of the association was facing severe challenges at this time. In order to ensure the security of the information, he needed to convince other colleagues and even superiors to mobilize the entire strength of the association.
"Dream world gathering? OK, I will immediately notify the High Priest to prepare for the gathering..."
After he finished speaking, the human-faced spider on Berlitt's arm also fell silent. Seeing this, Berlitt didn't say anything else. He rolled up his sleeves to its original state, then found a chair to sit down on, and took out a papyrus talisman from his side. After sticking it on his forehead, it quickly burned.
Afterwards, wordless silence filled the space. After using the dream anchor talisman, Berlitt sat in his seat and fell into a deep sleep, motionless. At this moment, he was meeting with important members of the society through the channel of the dream world, informing them of the situation and asking for assistance. The backbones of the Eight-Pointed Nest held a secret meeting in the dream.
After this kind of sleep lasted for a while, Berlitt slowly opened her eyes again. This time, there was a lot more determination in her eyes.
Berlitt, who had just woken up, stood up silently, took two steps forward and came to the masked man who was still kneeling on the ground. He glared at his still confused eyes. Suddenly, the hypnotic effect on the masked man was lifted, and he immediately supported himself on the ground with his hands and began to gasp loudly.
"Hoo...Hoo...Mr. Berlitt, this is..."
The masked man who had just been released from hypnosis fixed his blank gaze on Berlitt, and Berlitt spoke coldly.
"We have received the full support of the society, and... we will go to Jinqi Bank now. For the sake of the society's information security, we must purchase the remaining 'Qi' on the surface at all costs. We cannot let them continue to fall into the hands of the enemy and pose a threat to us.
"In order to build a safe anti-divination defense, we need to acquire at least 8 to 10 pieces of 'Kai'. Do you understand?"
Hearing what Berlitt said, the masked man was slightly stunned, then nodded vigorously and said.
"Understood!"
…
As the moon sets, the night fades away.
Outside the east gate of Royal Holy Crown University King's Campus, Green Shade Town.
In the afternoon, inside No. 37 Green Shade Town, Dorothy was sitting on the soft sofa, slowly eating a small dessert on the coffee table in front of her, and opposite her was Beverly who was drinking engine oil tea.
"Then, Mr. Manager, may I ask you a question? What is the price of the 'Qi' storage in Tivian's extraordinary field?"
After taking a bite of the dessert, Dorothy smiled and said to the mechanical girl in front of her, and the other party put down the teacup filled with engine oil and yawned lazily in response.
"Ahh~ What's the current price? Let me think about it. An hour ago, the stock of 'Qi' used for trading in the base of Zone 7 was almost sold out. The trading price of these 'Qi' storage items was 5,000 pounds each. If you want to buy them now, you'd better hurry up. We don't have much stock left~"
Beverly also replied to Dorothy with a smile. Listening to Beverly's words, Dorothy couldn't help but think in her heart.
"Wow, guys, they're almost sold out at 5,000 pounds each. Those guys are pretty fierce, they bought a lot at once..."
Dorothy said in amazement in her heart that she could understand the thoughts of those people in the Eight-Pointed Nest. The skyrocketing price of the "Kai" storage might be the reason why they bought a large amount of it. Faced with the enemies who had taken the "advancement" and were the first to buy a batch of "Kai", in order not to be at a disadvantage in the subsequent divination battle, they had to bite the bullet and buy the storage even if it was expensive.
"So many, you guys are doing good business..."
"Not bad, it's a rare big order in the past two years. Thanks to you, we made a lot of money this time." After taking another sip of engine oil tea, Beverly continued to speak to Dorothy.
"According to our previous agreement, based on the revenue from this time, we will pay you the corresponding information fee. How about a total of 5,500 pounds?"
"5,500 pounds..."
Listening to Beverly's words, Dorothy's smiling mouth couldn't stop rising. Since she traveled to the past, this was the first time she had so much money all of a sudden.
Dorothy knew that in this transaction, Beverly must have earned much more than herself. The information fee was probably only one-eighth or one-tenth of the total transaction amount. However, the money they earned had to be deducted from the cost of the goods. After all, they sold a lot of "initiations", and she only provided the information. Moreover, the profit did not belong entirely to Beverly, but mainly to the Craftsmen Association itself.
In any case, for Dorothy now, this piece of news fee was already a huge sum of money, much more than any robbery Dorothy had ever received, which made her feel happy.
"It seems that cutting leeks is more enjoyable than robbing..."
