Chapter 223: Chapter 216 We are Making a Killing (Vote for us with your monthly ticket!) Chapter 223: Chapter 216 We are Making a Killing (Vote for us with your monthly ticket!) The technology of the Sky Eye from Torchfire was incredibly powerful, explosively so!
He found it difficult to express the full asure of admiration in his heart.
As the head of the Superhuman Battle Departnt, Anderson was very clear on what this Sky Eye represented, it ant precision, efficiency, security, invincibility.
Under normal circumstances, 90% of the ti and energy in eliminating a Mysterious Evil was spent on searching.
With Torchfire’s Sky Eye, efficiency would increase tenfold.
This was only what their Superhuman Battle Departnt could detect, what about those that couldn’t be located? Thinking about the Mysterious Evils hidden in every corner of Wind Helt City, which were several tis more than their estimates, Anderson felt both palpitations and relief.
Relief that the majority of these Mysterious Evils were still only hiding, not yet active enough to kill humans at will.
He was also relieved that their Superhuman Battle Departnt had made contact with Torchfire and obtained this Sky Eye Mysterious Evil detection system.
Wait, they hadn’t obtained the Sky Eye System yet!
Anderson felt a pain in his teeth.
This system was sothing they had to get by any ans necessary, even if it ant selling their pots and pans. As long as they acquired the Sky Eye, they could quickly cleanse the Mysterious Evils from the cities within their territory, the effect could be referenced to the distant Huang Country.
By then, both internal and external troubles of Wavemist Nation could be effortlessly resolved!
On the way, Anderson pondered a lot and had consultations with so old-tirs, finally coming up with so chips to play.
Upon returning to the Torchfire office, he pondered for a mont, then slowly began to speak.
“Your Sky Eye technology is truly miraculous. With this system, the efficiency of our Wavemist Nation in carrying out missions could be greatly improved.”
“Just greatly improved?”
There was no need for Pei Hongjing to ask, Anderson knew it was far more than that.
Alas, if they had to be drained dry, so be it.
Mr. Pei was giving a more detailed introduction of the Sky Eye System, “Our system, taking the city as a unit, has a massive deploynt cost, but once it is activated, it can monitor the entire city for Mysterious Evils. That price isn’t expensive, right? What do you think, Minister Anderson?”
The price was asured in ghastly crystals.
The rough conversion between ghastly crystals, ghastly creatures, and materials had already been negotiated during past dealings, and the fluctuations up and down would not be too great.
After so thought, Anderson realized it really wasn’t too expensive.
Mr. Pei was not opening his mouth very wide in pricing.
To maintain a city’s safety with such a price was completely worth it. However, even if the price was no longer expensive, their Superhuman Battle Departnt still couldn’t afford it.
Or rather, they couldn’t afford the whole set.
If they wanted to deploy this system throughout the entirety of Wavemist Nation, the chips they had were still not enough. Anderson was already considering how to make sacrifices.
Wave City must have a set.
All other major cities must be equipped, while so of the less significant small towns could be discarded. By doing so, much of the internal unrest within Wavemist Nation could be quelled, and those old-tirs in the council would have no objections.
Having finished their discussion, they were just about to start negotiations.
Then Pei Hongjing said, “Selling a set of Sky Eye System at this price, our profits at Torchfire are already quite minimal. However, our tutor cares about all of humanity, and as long as your Wavemist Nation purchases the full set and deploys the Sky Eye System across the territory, we Torchfire will offer you a substantial discount, even at a loss to ourselves, to install the Sky Eye System for Wavemist Nation.”
Previously, the Superhuman Battle Departnt planned to deploy the Sky Eye System to one-third of the nation’s cities.
But now, the price for a territory-wide wholesale was only slightly more than one-third.
That indeed was a steep discount.
Was Torchfire at a loss?
Logically, Torchfire couldn’t possibly operate at a loss; it must be that the deploynt materials for the Sky Eye System were cheaper than he anticipated. But…could a system capable of pinpointing the exact location, even the strength of each Mysterious Evil, really be so cheap to produce?
He thought back to how Torchfire had repeatedly issued warnings and provided unwavering support, helping them withstand the Mysterious Evil disaster and break the Red Moon ritual.
Without Torchfire, he daren’t imagine what Wave City would look like now.
If anyone else talked about operating at a loss, Anderson would have scoffed, but with Torchfire, he actually felt it might be true.
Not for the price, but solely for the sake of saving more lives in the catastrophe of Mysterious Evil.
The Torchfire tutor was truly worthy of respect.
Anderson’s face was a mix of emotions as he laid out their chips and began negotiations with Pei Hongjing.
Ghastly crystals, they definitely couldn’t provide that many.
But Wavemist Nation was still a major country. Even without secret realms, they still obtained many ghastly creatures that fell from the Ghastly Realm.
This ti, they were putting all the treasures of the Superhuman Battle Departnt on the line.
Among them were high-grade ghastly creatures.
Having decided on the number, Pei Hongjing narrowed his eyes leisurely as he went through the list, marking off the selections.
In fact, he was sowhat surprised.
Once Wavemist Nation emptied its coffers, there were indeed quite a few good items on the list.
Pei Hongjing first selected the seeds of mysterious plants of the second and third order.
In the tutor’s requirents, these had a high priority and held far greater value to Torchfire than ordinary ghastly creatures and materials.
But thereafter, Pei Hongjing faced a dilemma.
The list of mysterious items provided by the Superhuman Battle Departnt naturally ca with brief explanations, but many things were unclear in their use, even to the Superhuman Battle Departnt, leaving Pei Hongjing unsure of which items might hold more value for the organization.
He appeared contemplative.
He called for the tutor’s na in his mind, and soon made contact with him.
After much pondering, Pei Hongjing began marking, choosing various special materials, as well as a very precious high-level ghastly creature.
Ghastly Creature: Illusory Flower.
This was a vibrant flower, its petals a kaleidoscope of colors—red, orange, yellow, green—shifting srizingly, beautiful and hallucinatory.
The Superhuman Battle Departnt’s explanation stated that the flower had a wide range of hypnotic and hallucinogenic effects.
Infused with life energy, it would bloom rapidly, and once the life energy was depleted, it would close up into a bud.
However, the side effects were extrely powerful, requiring the absorption of all life-force from an Awakener to bloom even once. Despite this, the flower ranked quite highly in the Superhuman Battle Departnt’s treasure sequence, being one of their last-ditch secret weapons.
Following that, Pei Hongjing selected another extrely precious Ghastly item.
——Thorn Seed.
After scanning a few more tis, “Let’s pay for the rest with Ghast crystals and Blue Star currency.”
Watching one after another cherished item being continuously selected, Anderson’s eyes twitched violently, and he felt extre pain. However, when he heard Pei Hongjing’s words, he took a deep breath of relief.
“Mr. Pei is truly generous.”
Being allowed to pay with common Blue Star currency was definitely a rcy. How could an organization as mysterious and ancient as Lighthouse lack money? To exchange precious Sky Eye System for a bunch of insignificant paper that had little value to Lighthouse—Anderson admitted he couldn’t match that scale of thinking.
At that mont, he heard Pei Hongjing say,
“The ntor previously ssaged , saying that since the Wavemist Nation has purchased the territory-wide Sky Eye System service, we at Lighthouse will also provide so minor support.”
“In the future, should you need to combat powerful Mysterious Evil, resist the Ghastly Realm gates, or clear out the Mysterious Evil herds in the forests and so on, Lighthouse can provide you with reinforcents.”
“Without charge.”
…
Anderson and his entourage left the Lighthouse office.
The sky of the snowy city was very blue, much like his mood at the ti.
“This mission, we have achieved far beyond our expected goals!”
He was very pleased.
Even if this trade had almost emptied the Super Combat Departnt’s coffers, he felt it was absolutely worth it—no, it was more than worth it!
Just the territory-wide deploynt of the Sky Eye System alone could reverse the dostic situation.
Moreover,
“Lighthouse is actually willing to provide support without charge, as long as we are truly combating Mysterious Evil and clearing out troubleso groups of Mysterious Evil, Lighthouse will spare no effort to help.”
“This organization is the true world Lighthouse.”
He acknowledged that he couldn’t do that.
But because Lighthouse was so selfless, they at the Super Combat Departnt made a killing this ti!
He felt slightly ashad.
But given another chance, Anderson would still want to make a killing, to seek even greater benefits.
“The deploynt of the Sky Eye System across the territory will take Lighthouse a few days to complete, but we can start building montum beforehand.”
“Our Wavemist Nation has the ability to ensure national security, and our living environnt is the best in the entire Oulu Continent. We can attract more Awakeners to co and settle in the Wavemist Nation.”
Especially since the situation in countries like the Sunset Country is also a ss.
As long as we seize this opportunity, our Wavemist Nation can soar.”
The plan is successful!
These are the benefits of getting close to Lighthouse—”Mr. Pei from Lighthouse also promised that in the future, there would be opportunities to train so Awakeners for us.”
“Hmm, I heard that Lighthouse is planning to establish more large-scale training bases around the world.”
Katrina said.
This was sothing she had just inquired about, and she was very curious about how a mysterious organization like Lighthouse trained Awakeners, but unfortunately, there was no opportunity to find out.
“However, this ti Lighthouse designated several pieces of land in our Wavemist Nation, would they be establishing a training base here?”
“There’s a possibility, after all, our Wavemist Nation is a major country.”
“Not only that, but Lighthouse will also set up a higher-level office in our City of Waves, with powerful figures stationed there at all tis.”
Originally, allotting a large piece of land in a bustling area to Lighthouse was sothing they were quite begrudging about.
But on second thought, if Lighthouse establishes a high-level office, doesn’t it also an that the defense level of our City of Waves has been elevated?
The sa goes for the training base.
Initially, they had already made a big profit from this trade, and from another perspective, they were making profit on top of profit.
A killing!
…
“Indeed, it’s a killing.”
“Everyone’s making a killing; a world where no one loses has been achieved.”
The transaction with Wavemist Nation went swiftly, and the level-two office in the City of Waves was being remodeled. One precious item after another was also being shipped to Torchfire Town.
Fang You pondered, “Now that the situation in Dong Huang is quite stable, we can arrange for more Lighthouse warriors to go to Wavemist Nation to clear the Mysterious Evil in the forests and resist the Ghastly Realm gates… These are tasks with rich rewards and the Super Combat Departnt acts as a free enforcer.”
“Besides, it helps to wipe out the remnants of the Heretical Cults, Wavemist Nation can serve as a benchmark, it can reduce the speed of the Ghastly Realm’s encroachnt, it can ensure the safety of more people, it can expand Lighthouse’s influence and so on.”
“With Wavemist Nation already in the bag, countries like Sunset Country and others won’t be far off.”
This cooperation with Wavemist Nation was of profound significance.
Right, of course, it also acquired many precious items.
Indeed, as Yi Xuan Luxi said, during the encroachnt of the Ghastly Realm, many treasures fell into the world, and the Super Combat Departnt is unimaginably wealthy.
Among them, the mysterious crops’ seeds could greatly enrich Lighthouse’s resources.
Items like ‘Illusory Flower’ and ‘Thorn Seed’ were even more precious.
“Two more Superhuman Rank powerhouses could be enlightened, pairing with Liu Ji, and perhaps in the future, forming a formidable Plant Demon Group.”
“It’s not just about combat power; soone like Liu Ji, who’s born from thorny tendrils, has great benefits for plant growth.”
She can fight enemies on the battlefield.
She can farm in the agricultural zone.
Is there a more perfect employee than this?
Wavemist Nation might have made a killing, but Lighthouse feels like Qin Shi Huang who touched a live wire—we’re ecstatic.
