Vice Leader Wen smiled faintly. For him, this transaction was merely a trifle.
He rubbed his hands, appearing a bit impatient, and said to Zuo Feng:
"Left Leader Zuo, shall we continue discussing the follow-up matters now?"
Zuo Feng nodded and said to Da Yuanyuan, "Come and listen. Yun Qianqian and Shui Rou are both here."
Da Yuanyuan was slightly startled, then understood.
It was likely that what Vice Leader Wen had said earlier was no small matter; otherwise, a mere Vice Leader Wen wouldn't warrant Left Leader Zuo and the three 'Da' generation members to receive him together.
Shui Rou smiled gently and nodded slightly.
Left Leader Zuo and Da Yuanyuan led Vice Leader Wen back to the secret room, and the door slowly closed. Da Bai Tu and Da Mi Tao, seeing the three arrive, greeted them with smiles and then sat down.
Vice Leader Wen's expression was calm, but his heart was already in turmoil.
He knew that the next conversation was the real main event. He chuckled faintly and said:
"Miss Yun, let me see what this thing is that you said wouldn't disappoint me?"
Yun Qianqian smiled slightly and said:
"Vice Leader Wen, don't be in a hurry. It seems we haven't yet agreed on the price for the a-grade metal and the Super Individual slot.
Mo Tianya, Pan Yeluo, and Jun Moce all paid a corresponding price to obtain theirs. Vice Leader Wen, please also offer a reasonable figure, as our conditions are completely equivalent."
Vice Leader Wen smiled nonchalantly, his finger lightly tapping the table, and slowly said:
"One 11-line loss crystal, how does Miss Yun feel about that?"
Yun Qianqian took a sip of tea, its fragrance filling the secret room. She said softly:
"While the price of one 11-line loss crystal is high, I can clearly tell Vice Leader Wen that it doesn't compare to the value of what the other three factions offered.
However, since Vice Leader Wen is our long-term partner, it's acceptable. Let's settle on that."
She chuckled inwardly: Let the cheap price make you feel like you've got a bargain, you big fool. Let's see if you have the nerve to take advantage.
Vice Leader Wen's lips curved slightly, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, Yun Qianqian softly spoke again: "Vice Leader Wen, may I ask what weapon you use?"
Vice Leader Wen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he already had a faint guess in his heart.
Yun Qianqian clearly wouldn't be making small talk at this point. Since she mentioned weapons, the next focus must be related to it, and it definitely wouldn't be an A-level metal weapon!
What could it be? Could Firefly still be hiding weapons of a higher grade than A-level metal weapons?
He feigned composure, a smile on his lips, and replied: "A sabre, a two-meter-long sabre."
Upon hearing this, the smile in Yun Qianqian's eyes deepened, as if she had already anticipated it.
Her slender fingers unconsciously traced the rim of the teacup, her voice alluring and seductive:
"Vice Leader Wen is indeed a man of strong character. The sabre is the king of all weapons, best able to display one's personality.
However, Vice Leader Wen also knows that once you become a Super Individual, your strength will be comparable to a Nine-Bar Zombie, and while A-level metal weapons are currently top-tier, they are only peak-level eight-grade, approaching nine-grade weapons. After Vice Leader Wen becomes a Super Individual, the enhancement they can provide will be limited."
Yun Qianqian paused, her eyes shifting, and a captivating curve appeared on her seductive lips. Her voice was full of temptation as she said:
"I wonder… Vice Leader Wen, are you interested in even more powerful weapons?"
A flicker of excitement and shock flashed in Vice Leader Wen's eyes, and an uncontrollable surge of longing churned within him:
Firefly actually had weapons even more powerful than a-grade metal!
His fingers trembled slightly, and he swallowed, trying his best to suppress the turmoil in his heart. He said in a deep voice:
"Miss Yun, please speak clearly!"
Yun Qianqian gently set down her teacup, her beautiful eyes moving, and slowly said:
"Vice Leader Wen, our Firefly possesses S-grade metal. This metal exceeds the limits of our instrument testing. Its strength and toughness far surpass theoretically 11th or even 12th-grade weapons, and there's a very high probability of forging weapons that surpass 12th-grade! That is, theoretically, peak 13th-grade weapons!"
Vice Leader Wen's pupils suddenly constricted, and his breathing quickened slightly. S-grade metal, peak 13th-grade weapons—such existences had long surpassed his understanding. Could such weapons truly exist?
He could barely believe his ears, but Yun Qianqian's calm and confident expression, coupled with Firefly's background, forced him to believe. The words she spoke contained astonishing facts.
Vice Leader Wen took a deep breath, suppressing the shock and ecstasy in his heart, and slowly said:
"Miss Yun, such powerful weapons, and your Firefly is willing to bring them out?"
Yun Qianqian smiled softly, a hint of cunning flashing in her eyes. "Vice Leader Wen, to be frank with you, our Firefly has extremely scarce reserves of this metal. Even our own people haven't used it yet. I've calculated that our reserves are enough to forge one S-grade long sabre. I wonder if Vice Leader Wen is interested in acquiring the world's first custom S-grade metal long sabre?"
Yun Qianqian's voice was soft, yet carried an undeniable allure,
"Honestly, if it weren't for the fact that we can't produce too many loss crystals at once to pay Vice Leader Wen, the world's first S-grade metal weapon would absolutely not fall into Vice Leader Wen's hands."
Hearing this, a colossal wave surged in Vice Leader Wen's heart, and the teacup in his hand was almost crushed.
He forced himself to remain calm, but the light flickering in his eyes betrayed his inner ecstasy and excitement.
A custom S-grade metal long sabre, the world's first, which even Firefly itself hadn't used—any one of these conditions would be enough to drive someone mad, let alone all three combined!
Vice Leader Wen felt his blood boil, and his heart pounded like a drum.
He gazed deeply at Yun Qianqian's enigmatic smile and asked in a deep voice:
"Miss Yun, what is the price?"
Yun Qianqian gently raised her eyes, her lips curving slightly,
"Vice Leader Wen, you should understand the value of S-grade metal. Its value can be directly measured by 13th-grade loss crystals. I can even say that currently, as long as the existence of S-grade metal is known, a Pigeon-egg-sized piece of S-grade metal would definitely sell for the price of one 13-line loss crystal.
And for the two-meter long sabre Vice Leader Wen is commissioning, you should have a rough estimate of how much material is needed, right?"
Yun Qianqian leaned slightly forward, her slender hand gently stroking the table, her fingertips tracing the rim of the teacup, and she said softly:
"So, Vice Leader Wen, what do you think its value is?"
Vice Leader Wen's gaze was serious, and he quickly weighed the options in his mind. A two-meter-long S-grade metal long sabre would probably require at least nearly 50 Pigeon-egg-sized pieces of S-grade metal, which meant... it would require at least 50 13th-grade loss crystals to be barely equivalent?
Vice Leader Wen's heart tightened. This number was too astonishing, but he also knew that Yun Qianqian must have inflated the price. Yet, even so, if he could truly obtain this long sabre, it would be a qualitative leap in the improvement of his personal combat power.
It was just that the cost was too immense. If it weren't for that item selling for 100 13th-grade loss crystals to Firefly, even if he sold all his assets, he might not be able to afford a Pigeon-egg-sized piece of S-grade metal.
Zuo Feng sat by the side, his heart convulsing violently. That cunning Da Bai Tu! A Pigeon-egg-sized piece of S-grade metal could be obtained by feeding Iron HanHan or Iron BenBen one eight-line zombie crystal, yet Da Bai Tu directly raised the price to 13th-grade loss crystals! What a terrifying profit!
It was a direct increase of a hundred thousand times!
Zuo Feng could barely believe his ears and couldn't help but mourn for Vice Leader Wen in his heart. Encountering exploitation of Da Bai Tu's level was simply treating someone as an ATM.
