The envoy from Prince Ning was furious, but Zheng Ya smiled faintly and said, "If you hope that the first-tier ability users of the Eagle King lineage can fuse with the five elements components of the battle puppet to achieve sixth-tier strength, then please leave!"
"What? You, you, are you serious?" The envoy's face changed drastically, turning into a fawning, sycophantic expression by the end.
"Clap clap!" Zheng Ya clapped his hands, and his master and mistress arrived together. Zheng Ya stood up to greet them: "These two are my master and mistress, Zheng Ya. I'm sure you've heard about my situation before."
So what are your thoughts now?
"My God, how is this possible?" The envoy from Prince Ning was astonished by the sixth-level peak strength of the Sun couple.
Even without investigating the strength of the friends around the newly promoted Starry Sky Inspector, it is known that their strength is at most around the third level.
This is the foundation of grassroots starry sky inspectors.
Without the support of powerful families, one is nothing.
Fearing he wouldn't believe him, Old Sun turned to the side and called out, "Come out and show yourselves, everyone!"
"Haha, we've arrived..." Ten peak sixth-tier ability users filed in, leaving the Prince Ning's envoy utterly astonished: "You, you really have fused the five elements of the battle puppet..."
"Alright, go back and tell Prince Ning that I lack a sense of security and accidentally spent money to buy the Five Elements War Puppet components to create a guard team."
"So do you understand?" Zheng Ya asked the troubled messenger.
The envoy of Prince Ning was led by the nose: "You mean, you tricked Prince Ning, no, you gave away all your points again?"
"But this betrothal gift can't be purchased with points, so..."
"Sigh, it seems we need to make a deal with the Eagle King. I wonder what the price will be for the fusion battle puppet's five elements components."
"You're an envoy of the Prince of Ning, could you give me a suggested price?" Zheng Ya thoughtfully shifted his focus.
Upon hearing this, the envoy from Prince Ning's eyes widened, and he blurted out, "No, please wait a moment. Let me speak with Prince Ning. Please wait a moment, you must wait a moment!"
"Well, alright then, since we've already formed this marriage alliance."
"My original intention was to include them on my side, but if there's really no other way, I wouldn't mind helping the enemy to strengthen myself!" Zheng Ya clarified a fact with difficulty.
Elder Sun and the others displayed their peak sixth-tier strength, eyeing the enemy with predatory intent.
The envoy from Prince Ning believed it to some extent, and immediately took out his communicator to contact Prince Ning. Zheng Ya and the others sat on the sofa and drank tea, watching him take out a thing that looked like a pocket watch, operate it to create a virtual screen, and make a video call.
"Prince Ning, the situation is like this..." The envoy spoke at length, with Zheng Ya and the others serving as the background. At the end, the envoy added, "Prince Ning, they are all genuine peak sixth-tier strength. I dare to guarantee it with my life. What do you think of this matter?"
"Bastard, scoundrel, scoundrel, Zheng Ya, you are too despicable! You can't be so treacherous! You've already tricked me so badly, and you still want to trick me? Do you have any conscience?" Prince Ning improvised, crying poverty.
I cried for ages but didn't shed a single tear?
"I don't believe you for a second," Zheng Ya said, no longer putting on airs as he saw him facing him directly. "Prince Ning, you know that everything here is in ruins and needs to be rebuilt."
Let's not say I've never cheated Prince Ning. Even if I had, it was because of the financial support we received through our marriage alliance. Would you say I cheated him?
Of course, Prince Ning doesn't understand the plight of a poor scholar like me, my insecurity. If all else fails, I'll just aid the enemy to strengthen myself. Then Prince Ning, please don't say I'm not righteous..."
"Ahem, Zheng Ya, don't be in a hurry."
"I've been forced to spend all my points because of you, so I'm a bit short on cash. Do you think we could try to reduce the cost of fusing with a peak sixth-tier ability user?" Prince Ning dropped the pretense and started haggling.
There's no shame in complaining about being poor when discussing business.
However, Prince Ning is truly poor now, having been swindled out of his wealth by Zheng Ya. He can't afford to buy things if he doesn't complain about being poor!
Zheng Ya didn't care whether he complained about being poor or not, but he looked troubled. After some hesitation, he said, "Prince Ning, let's be frank."
A set of five elements components for a battle puppet costs 68,000 points.
"Plus my little service fee, I'll give you a special price: 120,000 for a peak sixth-tier ability user. Not expensive, right?"
"Ahem, Zheng Ya, your price is too high, it's doubled!" Prince Ning was captivated by the offer and relentlessly teased him.
In fact, a peak sixth-tier ability user stationed at the teleportation portal hunting grounds can easily hunt down at least a million energy cores per day.
The key issue is that the supply of alien creatures is insufficient; it's not that the combat power of peak sixth-tier ability users is inadequate, and there aren't enough to kill.
Moreover, the prey was divided among the three fortresses, so hunting by force was the norm.
Even so, one point per day, 365 points per year.
Normally, it would take more than 300 years to break even, but that's the minimum hunting speed calculation. It ignores the value of an ordinary superhuman becoming a peak sixth-tier superhuman. Guarding or doing other things can create wealth!
Strictly speaking, it takes ten years to break even.
The lifespan of a sixth-tier peak ability user is over a thousand years.
It was a sure-fire deal, and Prince Ning was so excited he was almost going crazy, but he still looked pained and complained about being poor.
Zheng Ya stopped arguing with him: "Prince Ning, if you keep going like this, you'll hurt our feelings."
If you won't accept the friendly price, then I'll have no choice but to make a deal with the Eagle King's lineage?
If all else fails, I can sell them publicly in the points mall…
"Ah, don't be impulsive. Everything can be discussed. Since we are in a marriage alliance, you must sell sixth-level peak ability users to outsiders but not to us. It won't look good on your face, will it?"
"So, could you try to lower the price a bit? I really don't have any points left!" Prince Ning wanted to strangle him right now.
You were selling a peak sixth-tier ability user? Why didn't you say so earlier?
If I had told you earlier, I wouldn't have bought that rubbish Six-Colored Golden Lotus. The remaining billion points could have been used to build a legion of peak sixth-tier superhumans!
Unfortunately, he could only complain about this in his heart; he was too ashamed to say it out loud.
Zheng Ya was annoyed: "Haha, you want me to lower the price? I'd like to hear how low the price Prince Ning wants me to go?"
"Ahem, don't be so formal."
You should know that I am also going to marry you off to the legitimate princess!
"We're all family, you can't make money off your own family and become a laughingstock to outsiders, can you?" Prince Ning originally planned to elevate his illegitimate daughter to his legal wife position and marry her off, but now it seems that won't work.
I had heard that Zheng Ya possessed special abilities, but now I know that his abilities are truly unique. He can actually help people fuse five elemental spiritual objects. If done properly, it's as simple as fusing five elemental components of a battle puppet.
Prince Ning was knowledgeable and had grander ambitions.
Marrying the legitimate princess and wanting to be my father-in-law? Zheng Ya was stunned and a little annoyed. It seemed that he really couldn't refuse this price without trying to negotiate it down. But that was all money!
Old Master Sun, seeing him hesitate in a dilemma, took the initiative to stand up and said, "My good disciple, since your future father-in-law has spoken up, you should give him this face."
Otherwise, outsiders will say you don't know manners.
"Oh, Master, that makes sense, but I'm losing out!" Zheng Ya complained about being poor. Old Master Sun could easily see through his act: "Master knows you're just starting out, everything is difficult, and everything requires money."
But you must remember one thing: no amount of money is as valuable as the help of relatives!
"If something happens to you, and given your marriage alliance with the Prince of Ning's faction, do you think they'll just stand by and do nothing about it?"
“Yes, yes, that makes sense. My son-in-law’s affairs are my affairs as his father-in-law!” Prince Ning assured him, unaware that he had fallen into a trap set by the master and his apprentice.
