Chapter 122: Hyperinflation
Wang Hao chuckled and said, “General, it’s rare to see you here. To what do I owe this honor?”
“Wang Hao, we’re both smart people. It’s impossible that you don’t know why I’m here.” Jin Wei said solemnly, “I need a thousand dosages of antidotes, but ten billion apiece is too expensive. Can you give a discount?”
“Ten billion apiece?” Wang Hao smiled. “Dear general, I’m afraid that you’re outdated. But it’s totally understandable. Due to hyperinflation, my antidote is now a hundred billion apiece.”
Qian Wanyang’s and Chen Yao’s eyes widened as they looked at Wang Hao in disbelief. Wasn’t the price too high?
The antidote that had been expensive enough in the first place was now ten tis as valuable as before. It was truly a jaw-dropper.
Besides, the price of the antidote was raised for none other than a lieutenant general of the Military Departnt, one of the five biggest forces in the Universal Federation.
“Young friend, you are too greedy!” Jin Wei turned cold. He was here to make friends with Wang Hao. He certainly did not anticipate such a surprise.
“I don’t think I’m greedy at all,” Wang Hao said calmly. “You keep the infected soldiers alive with antibodies, so they can’t be common soldiers. You should feel proud of your soldiers when I charge you more for the antidote.”
Shoot!
Proud?
You think you’re justified to raise the price?
Jin Wei looked more awful than ever. This little jerk was more unscrupulous than the most unscrupulous rchant in the Universal Federation and would not let go of any opportunity to make more money.
The most annoying thing was that he was doing it as if he were rely considerate toward his client. Jin Wei had never seen anyone like him before.
Qian Wanyang and Chen Yao were convinced that they could never learn their boss’s shalessness... no, their boss’s money-making abilities. They swore to follow their boss forever.
“Wang Hao, your offer is too expensive. It’s impossible...” Jin Wei refused him solemnly.
Huala...
Before Jin Wei could finish, however, Wang Hao took out a few bottles of antidote and tossed them to the ground.
“It’s impossible? You do not know who I am.” Wang Hao scorned him and cried, “Soone! The soldiers of the Military Departnt are robbing a poor college student! Help!”
Jin Wei was dumbfounded, and so were his soldiers, Qian Wanyang, and Chen Yao.
Was it the legendary blackmailing skill that had been forgotten for eons?
Soon, Wang Hao’s cry drew the attention of dozens of people nearby, who all concluded that Jin Wei allowed his n to bully a college student when they saw the broken bottles and Wang Hao’s pitiful appearance.
Xia Weiwei, Le Xuan, Mai ngng, and Ling Ling, who approached when they heard the noise, sensed that sothing was wrong and that Wang Hao was playing tricks again.
“Do you think the Military Departnt is superior?”
“Can the soldiers of the Military Departnt bully anyone?”
“He’s just a kid, and you’re taking advantage of him?”
“I’m a reporter. I’m going to expose you...”
“I think I’ve seen this college student before...”
“The students of the Four Focused Colleges are all over Tianming right now. It’s not surprising that you saw him before.”
“Nevertheless, it’s wrong of them to bully the weak.”
“That’s right. What can a college student do? Why do you have to bully him?”
“...”
Seeing these people pointing and cursing at him, Jin Wei was more than infuriated. Did nobody notice that his n hadn’t done anything at all?
Qian Wanyang and Chen Yao looked at each other and shouted, “The soldiers of the Military Departnt are hitting innocent people! Jin Wei is asking his n to rob a poor college student...”
“Wang Hao!!” Jin Wei beca gloomier and gloomier as more people gathered.
“Jin Wei, what are you doing?” Deputy President Bing Qiao called from far away and walked over quickly.
When Bing Qiao saw the broken bottles on the ground and Wang Hao who was crying for help, she beca even colder. Did the Military Departnt think that the Guild of Pharmacists was ek?
Jin Wei knew that it looked bad. He hurried to explain, “Deputy President Bing, it’s not what you think...”
“Not what I think? Do you think I’m blind?” Bing Qiao scolded. “Let tell you, Wang Hao belongs to the Guild of Pharmacists, and whoever bullies him will be an enemy to all of us. Even if you were the highest commander of the Military Departnt, the Guild of Pharmacists still wouldn’t let go of you...”
Jin Wei’s face was even darker. Even his bald head was darkening.
But he knew that Bing Qiao was not bluffing. A seventeen-year-old level-three dical Grandmaster deserved the Guild of Pharmacists’ appreciation.
However, he was the actual victim here.
Could nobody tell that this whole thing was a blackmailing show that Wang Hao directed and perford himself?
But Jin Wei knew that he would suffer greater losses if the fuss went on.
Though the Military Departnt was as influential as the Guild of Pharmacists, he was an unimportant lieutenant general, whereas Bing Qiao was one of the four deputy presidents of the Guild of Pharmacists.
He was not nearly as important as her. It was impossible for the Military Departnt to declare war on the Guild of Pharmacists for a lieutenant general, so he would be fired to appease Bing Qiao.
Thinking about that, Jin Wei took a deep breath to calm himself down, before he said, “Wang Hao, I think we can talk.”
“Of course we can!” Wang Hao imdiately stopped crying. Of course, there were no tears in the first place. “I’m willing to talk to you as long as you give an infinite energy crystal as compensation.”
Shoot!
The price was higher again!
Did he know what he was talking about at all?
Qian Wanyang and Chen Yao both felt like worshiping their boss. After only minutes, the price was up again. Hyperinflation was too horrifying!
Besides, the price was not increased by several tis, hundreds of tis, or thousands of tis, but by hundreds of thousands of tis.
Infinite energy crystals were inexhaustible energy gems. As long as they were installed on a spaceship, one would never need to worry about the spaceship’s energy.
They could even power the energy cannons. As special strategic materials, every infinite energy crystal’s price was astronomical.
Hundreds of infinite energy crystals were required to power massive spaceships, but since Wang Hao’s spaceship was small, one was enough...
