Chapter 988: Chapter 981 Paying the Bill
Chen Yu couldn’t fathom what the Aricans were thinking, and after a brief study of the two mutated Arican soldiers, he lost interest.
To Chen Yu, these families born purely from gene mutation held little research value. Moreover, the souls of these two soldiers were distorted beyond recognition, lacking even complete consciousness, which further diminished Chen Yu’s interest in studying them.
If these were families born from a complete transformation ritual, possessing full self-awareness and capable of communication, Chen Yu might have been inclined to investigate further and gain so knowledge about the families and the deities they worshipped.
However, these two mutated soldiers could not even be considered complete families. The gains Chen Yu could derive from studying them were negligible, especially since the deities that were supposed to be worshipped by families had already been cooked into seafood soup by Chen Yu. This left him even less interested in these mutated soldiers.
Nonetheless, if the Aricans wished to study these two mutated soldiers, Chen Yu would not prevent them from doing so.
After all, Chen Yu had already outlined the possible consequences. If the Aricans insisted on courting disaster, he would only watch them do so, while using the opportunity to observe how the families resurrect the deities after their downfall.
Perhaps by then, a superhero might erge to save the United States? Isn’t that how it always plays out in the movies?
As for the resurrection of an evil god and the subsequent destruction of the world, that was purely the imagination of those directors. If resurrecting an evil god could annihilate the world, then the world would be far too fragile.
To truly destroy a world, one would need power equivalent to an Outer Domain God, a level reached by Chen Yu in a dream of Nanke when he borrowed the power of an outer evil god to drag Earth and the moon into the Netherworld.
However, even an Outer Domain God finds it difficult to destroy a world. They require ticulous planning, multiple arrangents, and could even spend hundreds, thousands, or tens of thousands of years to achieve their goal.
For an Outer Domain God, ti is their most readily available resource, and to spend tens of thousands of years scheming against a world is considered normal.
The giant sea monster was clearly not an Outer Domain God; had it been one, Chen Yu wouldn’t have been able to cook it into soup.
The worst outco of the Aricans courting disaster would probably be the destruction of a city at most.
But it seed the Aricans had no intention of courting disaster this ti and instead approached Chen Yu rather obediently, wishing to purchase the Dragon Blood Potion from him.
Of course, initially, the Aricans greedily wanted to acquire the technology and formula.
“That’s impossible, General,” Chen Yu directly refused this unreasonable request, clearly expressing his stance to Major General Claire: “When you Aricans sell arms, do you also sell your core technology with them? Do you sell fighter jets with the technology and production line? Even if I were willing to sell, you couldn’t afford it.”
“How do you know we Aricans can’t afford it if Mr. Chen Yu hasn’t nad a price? You should know that Arica is the world’s number one economic, military, and technological power. Even if we don’t have what you want, we can offer equivalent exchanges,” Major General Claire logically pointed out, aware of Chen Yu’s dissatisfaction with the price Arica offered over the Ship-girl incident. But as she stated, without Chen Yu naming a price, how would Arica know if they could afford it?
Major General Claire’s response amused Chen Yu. If the Aricans could afford what he wanted, they wouldn’t have lost to the Russians previously.
But since it was brought up, Chen Yu decided not to keep them guessing and proposed to Major General Claire: “If you can provide a Divine Rank, regardless of its level or duty, I can hand over all the data on the Dragon Blood Potion and even assist you in mass production, training a full Dragon-descent Legion.”
“A Divine Rank?!” Major General Claire was shocked by Chen Yu’s terms; she had never anticipated such a demand. It was clearly a price the United States could not afford.
“Is it that surprising? Or do you think the price is too high?” Chen Yu smiled at the astonished Major General Claire: “As a demigod, General, you should know that our only way forward is to seek Divine Enthronent, right? I’m already standing at the threshold of becoming divine. Besides the opportunity to beco divine, what in this world could possibly move ?”
Chen Yu’s reasoning was solid, and Major General Claire found herself unable to argue.
“But a Divine Rank and the Dragon Blood Potion’s data… the value gap…” Major General Claire couldn’t find the words to describe it, yet she felt Chen Yu was being excessively demanding.
A Divine Rank was truly beyond reason!
If Arica could secure a Divine Rank or sothing equivalent, why wouldn’t they use it for their own demigods instead of trading it away?
Understanding the troubled look on Major General Claire’s face, Chen Yu remarked as though reading her mind: “A Divine Rank could indeed nurture a deity or significantly boost the power of several demigods, but correspondingly, the Dragon Blood Potion could enhance an entire army’s strength.
Just like your US military, where aircraft carriers and nuclear bombs are your most powerful weapons, yet do you easily deploy them? What’s truly maintaining Arica’s strong military power and hegemony—aren’t they the grassroots soldiers rather than demigods like yourselves?”
Chen Yu’s words resonated with Major General Claire, but she still attempted to negotiate down Chen Yu’s offer: “While what you said is true, a Divine Rank is imnsely valuable. Indeed, we Aricans can’t match that value. Can’t Mr. Chen Yu lower the price? If possible, we Aricans are genuinely sincere.”
“Lower the price? Sorry, I’m not accustod to haggling or bargaining.” Chen Yu clearly wasn’t open to negotiating with Aricans.
Nonetheless, he provided Major General Claire with a hint: “Actually, the Garden of Osiris might contain sothing of equivalent value to a Divine Rank. You can use your findings from there as paynt, and I won’t mind.”
“Use the findings from the Garden of Osiris as paynt?” Major General Claire was puzzled by Chen Yu’s suggestion, but it evidently sparked a thought in her.
