Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm-Chapter 431 - 316. Ordinary and Extraordinary

Great Xia.

Mo Bei Province.

This province is the largest in Great Xia, with an area exceeding two million square kilometers, larger than most countries on Canglan Star.

Due to its location deep in the interior of the East Continent, coupled with its plateau terrain, precipitation is seriously low.

The lack of water resources naturally leads to sparse vegetation, which in turn results in a harsh natural environment.

So the population of Mo Bei Province is not considered large.

Before the Age of Calamity.

Although Great Xia implemented various policies, strongly encouraging civilians to migrate to Mo Bei Province, the total population of the province did not exceed 10 million.

During the Age of Calamity.

The entire environment of Canglan Star deteriorated rapidly, and Great Xia was forced to relocate millions from Mo Bei Province to protect civilians, leaving the province with a total population of just over 6 million.

At this moment.

In the capital of Mo Bei Province, Tolan City.

Yang Fan appeared again under the identity of Zhang Xuan in a Xia Medical Hall named "Xinglin Hall."

The so-called "Xia Medicine" is the traditional medicine of Great Xia.

However, with the popularization of modern medicine, Xia Medicine has become somewhat neglected.

Yang Fan sat quietly on a small bench, observing an old man opposite him.

The old man, with all white hair and beard, had a ruddy complexion and was full of vitality.

The old man was skillfully preparing a traditional summer medicine called "Grass Fruit Kernel" with his tools.

Yang Fan watched for a while, then his gaze suddenly became unfocused.

A voice with a strange accent started speaking in his mind.

"...1000 Tianfu Craft No. 2 Exoskeletons... operated by Great Xia soldiers... in name under the Luotuo Kingdom..."

This was the voice of General Ahmed of the Luotuo.

Yang Fan’s lips curled up slightly, thinking to himself, "The Luotuo people are calculating well."

Spirit Crow Bai San Thirteenth, whom he had sent to the Luotuo Kingdom, had transmitted the information back.

Now that he had advanced to a Middle Rank Warrior, he could harness more of the World Power.

No matter where Spirit Crow was, he could use the World Power to observe the surroundings and listen to the sounds near Spirit Crow.

Regarding Ahmed’s proposed plan.

On the surface.

The Luotuo people seemed to be fools, giving away 50 billion Xia Yuan for free, while the 1000 sets of Tianfu Craft No. 2 Exoskeletons had nothing to do with the Luotuo Kingdom.

But that wasn’t the truth.

First, a simple question: Can the Luotuo people, relying on their own abilities, manufacture the Tianfu Craft No. 2 Exoskeletons?

The answer is—no!

Even if they invested 5 trillion, or even 10 trillion Xia Yuan, the Luotuo Kingdom couldn’t produce it.

The Luotuo people wanting to own the Tianfu Craft No. 2 Exoskeletons cannot be satisfied just by building an assembly factory.

The production of exoskeletons is backed by an enormous industrial system.

It includes tens of thousands of various factories, tens of millions of engineering personnel, and a nation’s long-term investment in the industry field.

None of the above.

The Luotuo Kingdom has any of it.

Hence, if they rely solely on their own national strength, they could never manufacture the Tianfu Craft No. 2 Exoskeleton.

Now, for just a mere cost of 50 billion Xia Yuan, they can keep the most advanced exoskeletons on Canglan Star on this land permanently.

Second question, even though they paid to purchase the Tianfu Craft No. 2 Exoskeleton, it’s operated by Xia People, isn’t that a loss?

The answer is—it’s not a loss at all.

The black technology exoskeleton with five mechanical arms is not something just any random person can handle easily.

The first batch of operators selected by Great Xia were elites picked out from 1.8 billion people nationwide.

Given the Luotuo Kingdom’s talent reserve, unquestionably, they cannot operate it.

Even if they hired Great Xia instructors to laboriously train personnel, the effect would still not match Great Xia people operating it themselves.

Therefore, it is better to have Xia People control the exoskeleton directly.

This can form combat power at the fastest speed.

Ask yourself, if 1000 exoskeletons are stationed permanently in the Luotuo Kingdom and the Luotuo people encounter danger, would Great Xia people stand by?

Of course not!

To a certain extent, "nominally owning" actually equals "practically owning."

And for just a mere 50 billion Xia Yuan, you get the world’s most advanced exoskeleton and the best control team in the world, isn’t this a thrilling thing?

Of course, it’s exhilarating!

So.

Not only are the Luotuo people not the foolish wealthy seen by ordinary people, but they are also extremely shrewd.

At this moment.

Yang Fan pondered and sent a command by thought: "Tell Ahmed their offer is too low, 50 billion only buys 500 Tianfu Craft No. 2 Exoskeletons."

"Caw!"

The cawing of a crow rang out.

*

Luotuo Kingdom.

Landeya, Alaba Base.

The White Spirit Crow suddenly intervened in the negotiation: "50 billion Xia Yuan can only get you 500 exoskeletons, if this price is agreeable, Mr. Spirit Crows can facilitate this deal."

Major Lin was taken aback.

With this calculation, the unit price is as high as 1 billion Xia Yuan each.

This was a definitive sky-high price.

And to sell something costing 220 million at nearly fifty times the price to the Luotuo people, Mr. Spirit Crows is too ruthless!

He thought that surely Major General Ahmed would try to haggle and cut down the price.

Ahmed unexpectedly agreed immediately: "Deal!"

Major Lin looked surprised.

Truly worthy of being a wealthy fool!

Simply not valuing money! 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Ahmed, having completed His Majesty the King’s task, was in a great mood: "Mr. Bai, what is the earliest time the 500 Tianfu Craft No. 2 Exoskeletons can be delivered?"
