"Oh?"
"Mhm?"
Everyone was imdiately attracted to the notion. A limited number of antiquated ships from a ti long ago was sothing they craved for.
"Is it really?"
"What do you have! Allow
to place a deposit for one!"
"How are you going to pay for the deposit? You would never have such an amount!"
"Please, good sir! I would like to purchase one or even more of your ships!"
The crowd started to get rowdy one after another trying to get Jiang Fei's attention.
"Co now, brother Jiang Fei. How could you not reveal that when I am your main buyer?" Wagner placed his glass down and gave Jiang Fei a vague smile.
"Forgive , but I am only trying to be fair to the others as well."
"You must have done sothing to obtain such a large number of ships," Wagner teased.
"Nonsense. I was rely lucky. A lucky bastard, if you would be so inclined."
"I must say, what brings you to sell your ships? You have been in the military for so ti now. Technically speaking, you shouldn't be lacking in funding? What pushed you this far?" Wagner asked worriedly. For certain people, ships aged for 10,000 years or more were nothing but scrap tal. For others, they were treasures to be revered. People like Wagner would never, on any occasion, sell such a collection of antiquated ships even if they were lacking funding. It would be close to impossible to buy them back later.
"I'm in dire need of funding now," Jiang Fei confessed.
"What sort of problem do you have?" Wagner asked. To be his friend, Wagner had to be genuinely concerned about Jiang Fei's wellbeing. If he was in trouble, he would want to lend a helping hand.
"I have a few female companions with
and they were... well, there's no simpler way to say this. They were too weak to fight. I have been thinking about helping them grow stronger. One of the ways is to feed them Ultralisk's at," Jiang Fei revealed. There was no use in hiding anything as they would soon stand in the lilight.
"Ultralisk, oof... that's a hard one to beat," Wagner exclaid. He had a few kilograms with him and did not mind giving him so.
"I have solved this matter and I have a bit too much at for them now. This is not the perfect solution as it takes too long for them to grow stronger. What I need is a training facility that has a Chrono accelerator to facilitate this process," Jiang Fei said.
"That is a good idea. Nothing beats physical training. My family owns a facility on Hyur. I could get you to use the place. How many do you plan to train?" Wagner said.
"Too many for
to reveal. It would be a problem for you," Jiang Fei replied. He almost agreed to accept the offer but he had over 2,000 soldiers to account for. If he had not told Wagner the truth, he would be incurring the wrath of his family mbers for simply giving strangers access to the training facility.
"Please. Do you really think I can't handle the cost?" Wagner said, confidently. He assud that the number of soldiers Jiang Fei was going to train was not more than a small squad. It was based on the revelation that he had been feeding them Ultralisk at. As Ultralisk at was infamously expensive, the number of soldiers Jiang Fei could feed could only be small.
"I have over 2,000 soldiers to train," Jiang Fei replied.
Wagner dropped his glass and almost fell off the chair.
"Co again?"
"More than 2,000."
"Hold on. Never mind the training facility. But you just said you have been feeding 2,000 soldiers Ultralisk at?" Wagner stood up and declared.
"That's what I said," Jiang Fei verified his statent, wondering why his statent was so alarming.
"Get out of town. He's lying for sure!"
"Heh. He might be feeding them at alright, just not Ultralisk at! No one, not even a galactic emperor, could feed 2,000 soldiers with Ultralisk at! Where on Earth did he get them?"
Everyone else started to discuss Jiang Fei's statent.
"Are you serious? Have you any idea how much Ultralisk at you have been feeding your soldiers?" Wagner said, starting to doubt Jiang Fei as a person. Right now, he was starting to think that Jiang Fei might be another rich idiot that liked to boast.
"Hold on... If I rember correctly... It's three and a half," Jiang Fei said. He had slain three Ultralisks and Bison did one, which brought it to a total of four Ultralisks. He had been feeding the infantry units for so ti, thus, leaving him with three and a half left.
An eerie silence befell the mansion when all eyes were locked on Jiang Fei.
"Three and a half of what?" Wagner asked. He had just obtained a new glass from a waiter and that glass was on the verge of breaking in his hands.
"Three and a half Ultralisks. Dead ones, of course," Jiang Fei said simply.
"Impossible."
"Bah. He doesn't know about Ultralisks and he for sure does not have that much at with him."
"That is what I call the epito of bullshitting!"
Everyone in the room knew what an Ultralisk was and just how hard it was to kill even one. There were not many powerful fighters available for hire in the Trade Federation. Hunting Ultralisks to harvest their at was done mostly with ships and battlecruisers, making it extrely risky and expensive to buy. Only the powerful and strong could get a perfect carcass of an Ultralisk while most of the Trade Federation hired rcenaries who could only get scraps. Leftovers of a bombarded dead Ultralisk.
"Are you for real?" Wagner reached out and held Jiang Fei's hands firmly.
"Why would I lie?" Jiang Fei arched an eyebrow as he replied.
"I see. I'll take your word for it. Could you please sell
so?" Wagner pressed on. He had around tens of kilograms of them and he was still reluctant in consuming them. He wanted to hoard so more until he had enough to concoct a decent elixir for self-enhancent. If Jiang Fei was telling the truth about owning that much Ultralisk at, his dream of becoming stronger would be one step closer.
"Big boss Jiang Fei! Sell
so as well!"
"No! Sell them to ! I'll offer a higher price for the at! I'll pay for it! Now!"
...
The lot had gotten excited as they sward Jiang Fei's table. Most of them, if not all, were simply weak even when compared to any Tom, Dick, and Harry in the Valsalrian Army. Ultralisk at was sothing they covet. It was just another ans and thod for them to beco soone special, to stand out amongst the ordinary.
"Sorry... I've none to spare. Not now anyway. I apologize if I've insinuated any sales," Jiang Fei excused himself. To be fair, he knew that he had too much Ultralisk at for his soldiers, but that didn't an he wanted to sell them. He had just opened up a ship-selling business and there was no need for him to start another stall for Ultralisk at.
While rejecting the other wealthy folks, he turned to Wagner and gave him a suggestive wink. This person was a client that Jiang Fei acknowledged to be special. As such, he would not mind offering so for him to buy.
Wagner nodded and raised his glass to him to show his appreciation.
"Calm down. I still need Ultralisk at to feed my soldiers. When I am able to strengthen them to a certain factor, I will be happy to sell the leftovers. Until then, I'm sorry I cannot offer you any of it," Jiang Fei said.
"Alright then. Ultralisk at is off the nu, for now. What of the Nakian ships?" Soone in the crowd stood up and asked. Their attention now returned quickly to the main item for sale.
Compared to Jiang Fei, and the Valsalrian Army, citizens of the Trade Federation did not value strength as much as money.
