Chapter 78: Big Business
"Boss, we ca here today to discuss plans to oppose Shelter No. 1. Why did you... attack ?" Bai ng was genuinely baffled by Xiao Feng’s peculiar behavior.
"Oh! I almost forgot!" Xiao Feng’s expression changed, and he imdiately walked over, smiling amiably.
"Look at this ss! How could this happen? Get up quickly, let’s talk about the plan to confront Shelter No. 1!"
Seeing Xiao Feng’s abrupt change from one second to the next, Bai ng wore a bitter expression, feeling utterly helpless.
Since they were currently on Xiao Feng’s turf, despite losing an arm, they could only endure the situation.
"Boss, this morning, those who ate your food yesterday have indeed awakened their evolution abilities. Can we discuss the cooperation plan now?" Bai ng endured the pain, sweat dripping down his face, indicating how agonizing it was.
"Sure, sure!" Xiao Feng nodded repeatedly.
"My plan is like this: the homade spicy tripe soup I created is extrely difficult to make due to strict ingredient requirents. So, my price is ten thousand energy points per pot!"
"Ten thousand!" Bai ng’s eyes widened suddenly. That price made his arm pain seem trivial.
"Boss, isn’t that a bit too expensive?" Bai ng asked bitterly the next mont.
"Ah! You don’t actually know. I’ve given you a discount. It’s only because you ordered in bulk. If it were others, I’d charge twelve thousand!" Xiao Feng acted as if he was genuinely torn.
"Furthermore, consider this: how much energy has your research lab already invested in this endeavor? You are well aware of that figure, right? Here I have a ready-made solution. How much could you save? This is what? This is called cutting your losses in ti!" Xiao Feng’s words were quite reasonable, and Bai ng and his team weren’t fools.
Continuing their research would likely require a considerable investnt.
Observing his sister, Bai ng nodded without hesitation.
Then he said, "Okay! I agree! But right now, I don’t have that many energy points. Could I give you thirty hundred thousand first, and the remaining twenty hundred thousand later?"
"Your aning is you need fifty pots of spicy tripe soup but wish to postpone paying for twenty hundred thousand?"
"Yes!"
"My laboratory has invested too much!"
"Once I return and create a large number of evolved beings, gaining strength to confront other shelters, I’ll repay you as soon as possible!"
"Deal! No problem!" Xiao Feng readily agreed.
Xiao Feng wasn’t worried they’d default on the paynt. After easily controlling them just now and rcilessly severing one of their arms, even if he gave them ten thousand courage, they wouldn’t dare not repay the money.
For the fifty pots of spicy pork blood stew, Xiao Feng had stored enough pig blood from the wild boars he had killed earlier.
"Alright! No problem, take your ti to figure it out. I’ll be waiting for your reply this afternoon." Xiao Feng nodded, allowing them to leave.
After they left, Xiao Feng couldn’t help but ponder.
"If I can control the type of evolution ability they want, it would be a great advantage."
With this thought in mind, Xiao Feng decided to wait for their response. If the request was reasonable, he would consider helping them; after all, it would be a win-win situation.
At that ti, we just need to fuse the crystal core in."
Wait...
At that mont, Xiao Feng suddenly thought of a question.
"Hold on!" Xiao Feng called out to Bai ng and the others.
Seeing this, the group shuddered, thinking Xiao Feng was having second thoughts, slowly turning around.
"Um... Boss, is there anything else?"
"What kind of evolution abilities do you want?" Xiao Feng questioned.
Hearing this, Bai ng and Bai Zhi’s eyes lit up.
"Yes! If we could acquire so outstanding evolution abilities, it would be doubly beneficial!"
"Boss, let us go back and tally it up. We’ll get back to you this afternoon!"
Bai ng hurriedly said, "Alright! You tally up and bring the crystal core you want to fuse!"
Xiao Feng nodded.
"What’s this?"
Bai ng seed puzzled, as if not quite understanding.
"Are you asking us to prepare the crystal core ourselves?"
"And what else?"
Xiao Feng sneered.
"You want certain abilities, you prepare the crystal core yourselves. Isn’t that a normal procedure? Do you expect
to prepare crystal core for you? Should I prepare so junk-level evolution abilities for you?"
Hearing this, Bai ng vigorously shook his head.
"That’s right! If you want remarkable evolution abilities, then prepare the crystal core yourselves. Once I’m done, I’ll mark their abilities on each pot of spicy tripe soup so it’s easier for you to distribute when you return. Is that acceptable?"
"No problem!" Bai ng imdiately nodded.
This explanation made Bai ng accept many things.
However, this thod left Xiao Feng with additional costs.
"Also! It’s best for you to use first-order crystal core when you go back. I’m not too confident about second or third-order ones, or even higher grades. If it fails, I won’t take responsibility!"
Xiao Feng cautioned.
In reality, Xiao Feng could manufacture higher-grade spicy tripe soup. But this was also part of Xiao Feng’s plan. Why would Xiao Feng sell spicy tripe soup to them to enhance their abilities?
Reportedly, all the spicy tripe soup Xiao Feng provided were of first-order crystal core strength.
Even if their evolved individuals expanded in number.
But each one would be diocre, what harm would that cause?
Right?
Additionally, Xiao Feng said he wasn’t confident about producing higher-grade ones.
Even if he were confident, they wouldn’t be given crystal core of second order or higher.
Why?
Because they were cautious.
They feared Xiao Feng might swallow the crystal core and then refuse to pay.
Thus, they decided to only provide first-order crystal core.
"Oh, one more thing I need to remind you of!" Xiao Feng called them back.
"We need to personally deliver these things!"
"Deliver them to us?"
Bai ng furrowed his brow and asked.
"Why?"
"To ensure the spicy tripe soup’s energy isn’t lost and can be maximally retained, to increase the success rate of your fusion ability, we need to make them and deliver them to you as soon as possible."
"That would be great!" Bai ng said joyfully.
"Don’t get too excited yet!" Xiao Feng chuckled.
"Firstly, you don’t have the conditions for transportation. What if there’s a spillage, loss, or if a mutant creature devours it on the way? Wouldn’t that result in significant losses?"
"And our transportation also bears risks. So, if you need us to deliver, you’ll have to pay us a twenty percent delivery fee!"
"A delivery fee? There’s a delivery fee too?"
"Of course. Alternatively, you can arrange for your own pick-up. But if there are issues en route, leading to energy loss for the spicy tripe soup, I won’t take responsibility."
Xiao Feng shrugged indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Bai ng contemplated for a mont and then nodded, "Okay! Please have them delivered to ."
The twenty percent delivery fee amounted to a hundred thousand energy units. That delivery fee was indeed quite expensive!
However, there was no other choice. If, as Xiao Feng said, there were energy losses or failed absorptions, their losses would be even greater.
After finalizing the discussion, Bai ng and his group left the restaurant.
