Lin Hu's words completely revealed the nature of the deal.
Want to clean up the wasteland planet? Sure, I'm willing to pay the price. It's up to you, Ye Chen, what price you want!
Seeing the angry gazes of the many lords around him, Ye Chen smiled indifferently and held up three fingers.
"Three high-grade Five Elements Spirit Orbs, one Light Element Spirit Orb, one Inheritance Stone Tablet, and one blueprint for a Magic Furnace!"
"Impossible!" Lin Hu exclaimed immediately. This value was beyond their means. Not to mention anything else, no one could produce so many high-grade Five Elements Spirit Pearls.
Moreover, what was their purpose in coming to clean up the wasteland planet? Wasn't it precisely for that rare, high-grade Five Elements Spirit Pearl?
"I think you all know the value of a wasteland planet. One wasteland planet is enough to create three to five high-level lords. I only want three high-grade Five Elements Spirit Pearls. Is this price too high?"
"As for the Inheritance Stone Tablet, the blueprints for the Magic Furnace, and the Light-type Spirit Orb, to put it bluntly, I only asked for the resources of a formal lord, not even a high-level lord. You, the young master of the Lin family, surely don't even have this much ability?"
Ye Chen said calmly.
The best way to maximize profits is to take a cut of the profits earned by everyone after they enter the wasteland planet, which would be more acceptable to them.
But this isn't a peaceful Earth where everyone has a sense of contract. Once they come out of the wasteland planet, who will still be willing to give them a cut?
Only when you have the money in your pocket can you be safe!
Therefore, Ye Chen had no intention of discussing the future; he was talking about the present, now, immediately, right away...
You pay me, I do the job!
Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, Lin Hu was speechless for a moment.
Indeed, as Ye Chen said, these resources are not enough to create a high-level lord, and are a drop in the ocean compared to the wasteland planet.
It would be heartbreaking for anyone to have them hand over so many resources to Ye Chen.
"Okay! But we have to wait until we get back from the wasteland planet!" Lin Hu glanced at everyone and said through gritted teeth.
"Then there's nothing to talk about. Who knows if you'll still keep your word once we're on the wasteland planet? If we're going to talk, you have to give us the goods first! There's no room for negotiation on that!" Ye Chen said firmly.
"You! Do you really think we wouldn't dare do anything to you?" Lin Hu suppressed his anger and roared at Ye Chen.
"Tch, do you really think I wouldn't dare do anything to you?" Ye Ling retorted in kind, her bow drawn to its fullest extent, aimed into the darkness.
In an instant, a sense of death threatened her from head to toe. I dare not say anything else, but at least Ye Ling could kill him if she gritted her teeth.
"Alright, alright! Everyone, calm down. Lord Ye Chen is right. If we want them to put in the effort, we should give them some compensation. There's no such thing as a free lunch." At this moment, a long-haired lord stepped forward to smooth things over. It was none other than Lord Murong from before.
“However, the price of three high-grade spirit beads is indeed too high, and we cannot raise that many at the moment. Lord Ye Chen, how about two?” Young Master Murong said, looking at Ye Chen with a troubled expression.
Hearing his words, Ye Chen nodded, his expression softening considerably.
Three high-level spirit orbs were already priced exorbitantly, so getting two is already a pleasant surprise. What more could you ask for?
"Hmph! For Young Master Murong's sake, then two will do!" Ye Chen was overjoyed, but his face was full of difficulty as he looked at Murong and said with difficulty.
"Then thank you very much, Lord Ye Chen!" Murong bowed slightly in thanks.
Seeing how easily others had reached a deal, Lin Hu left the meeting with a grim expression.
Even though he is no longer here, the bills will still be sent to him.
This is a joint operation by many lords. Although Murong is amiable, he is not stupid. He will not bear the huge cost alone. He will find someone to share the burden.
The lords acted swiftly; each one was a chosen one, and since they had agreed, they wouldn't cause any trouble. The promised supplies were delivered to Ye Chen the very next day.
"It's another high-grade fire spirit bead, but unfortunately this high-grade water spirit bead is a duplicate. Mengyi, you can take it!" Ye Chen looked at the other five element spirit bead with regret and handed it to Jian Mengyi.
He already had the Wood Spirit Orb and the Water Spirit Orb, and now he has obtained the Fire Spirit Orb. He only needs two more to set up an advanced Five Elements Cycle Formation.
"Tsk, you're not going to become the fastest official lord in history, are you? And a high-level one at that!" Si Meng said with a look of amazement. The other party's speed was really too fast.
How long has it been? Just over a month! The most difficult advanced Five Elements Cycle Formation has been more than half collected, and the most difficult-to-find inheritance stele has been completed.
"Everyone else starts with the easy parts and works their way up to the difficult ones, but you've gone straight to the hardest part!" the fat man remarked with a similar sentiment.
“Not only have we finished, we have even more!” Jian Mengyi gestured to the high-grade water spirit orbs in her hand, immediately making the two of them green with envy.
"Alright, alright, standard procedure! Standard procedure!" Ye Chen was a little embarrassed by what he was being told, so he quickly changed the subject, "Fatty, how's the preparation of the Tier 3 magic crystal bomb going?"
Having accepted someone's gift, you have to be responsible for getting things done, and the most important of these is undoubtedly the Tier 3 Magic Crystal Bomb.
If we can't produce a sufficient number of magic crystal bombs quickly, we'll have to give back everything we've got sooner or later.
"Don't worry, there won't be any problems. There are already 1,000 goblins working on it. Although the manufacturing speed is slower than that of Tier 2 magic crystals, it's still no problem to produce two or three thousand crystals a night. At most, two days will be enough to blow up those dark creatures!" the fat man said with a hint of excitement.
It was less that Ye Chen was responsible for the deal and more that his useless goblins were the reason the business was made. He never imagined that a goblin lord like himself would be looked up to by so many high-ranking lords.
"That's good. This is a big order. If anything goes wrong, I'll whip you up!" Ye Chen said fiercely. High-grade spirit beads are extremely rare in the trial space. Getting two before even entering the wasteland planet is an unexpected bonus.
"Absolutely impossible! Hahaha!" the fat man laughed smugly. Among all the lords, he had the most goblins, so his manpower was top-notch.
Look at those elves, angels, dragons... who can match the sheer number of his goblins? Who could produce so many magic crystal bombs in one night? They'd probably be exhausted to death by now.
Therefore, talent is the primary productive force!
