Chapter 884: What Kind Of Concept Is This!
Flaming Python Sword (Ultima): 500/500 (second level)
Looking at the newly added Ultima, w.a.n.g Teng nodded with satisfaction. The 600 attribute points were enough to raise the Flaming Python Sword Ultima to the second level!
At this time, the attribute bubbles had all been collected. Only a short time had pa.s.sed.
Round Ball did not appear, but its shocked voice was ringing in w.a.n.g Teng’s mind, “I didn’t expect you to actually kill a celestial-stage martial warrior!
“It’s normal. There’s no need to praise me!” w.a.n.g Teng replied calmly.
Round Ball was at a loss for words. “Can you not be so thick-skinned?”
“I’m not. My skin is very thin.” w.a.n.g Teng snickered.
“Scram!” Round Ball rolled its eyes. It would lose its temper because of w.a.n.g Teng’s shamelessness. It was done!
“We should go.” w.a.n.g Teng stopped smiling.
Round Ball was taken aback, not expecting w.a.n.g Teng to switch so fast. He was still smiling just now, but he suddenly got serious that it was caught off guard.
…
“Do you still want the Olant Federation’s battlecraft?” w.a.n.g Teng asked.
“Let’s go up and have a look. A planetary-level battlecraft is not worth much. Besides, an Olant Federation’s battlecraft wouldn’t be easy to sell. We can only see if we can dismantle any parts,” Round Ball replied.
Both of them then came to the battlecraft with bad intentions.
“Look.” Round Ball smirked. As an intelligent lifeform, it easily hacked into the main control room of the battlecraft.
“Can it be done?” w.a.n.g Teng asked.
“Don’t worry. This battlecraft’s intelligent system is just a brat. Its level is much lower than mine. Dealing with it will be a piece of cake,” Round Ball said proudly.
Sure enough, in just a moment, the battlecraft’s hatch opened. w.a.n.g Teng stepped inside and came to the main control room with Round Ball’s guidance.
The main control room was not large and was much inferior to w.a.n.g Teng’s QY-E63 s.p.a.cecraft. He took a quick glance and lost interest immediately.
“Wait for a while. I’ll order the robots to dismantle the useful parts. Then, we’ll see if there’s anything good on this battlecraft,” Round Ball spoke while moving.
Suddenly, engineering robots walked out from the bottom of the battlecraft and dispersed to different sections. They then began to operate under Round Ball’s control.
These engineering robots were originally on the battlecraft. Their levels were not high and had average intelligence. Hence, they did not cost too much. However, they were diligent in performing their tasks a.s.signed by the intelligence system. They were the best cheap labor available.
“Hey, I found something good!” Round Ball suddenly said with surprise.
“What did you find?” w.a.n.g Teng was stunned and asked.
“Celest.i.tes!” Round Ball exclaimed.
“Celest.i.tes!” w.a.n.g Teng felt that the name was somewhat familiar.
“It’s a rare type of ore with wind attributes. A ton of this can be sold in the Great Qian Empire for 10 GQC!” Round Ball explained.
“One ton for only 10 GQC.” w.a.n.g Teng looked at Round Ball speechlessly. He felt that it was making a mountain out of a molehill.
“Only!” Round Ball glared at w.a.n.g Teng. “Do you even know what 10 GQC means?”
“The Great Qian Empire is a high-tier civilization. 1 Great Qian Empire coin is equivalent to 1000 units of a medium-tier civilization’s currency. And 1 unit of a medium-tier civilization’s currency is worth 1000 units of a low-tier civilization’s currency…”
w.a.n.g Teng’s eyes widened as he interrupted, “Which means, 1 GQC is equivalent to a million Olant Federation’s currency?!”
“Now you know!” Round Ball wrapped its arms and chuckled.
“F**k!” w.a.n.g Teng cursed.
Although he knew that the gap between the three different tiers of civilization was huge, he didn’t expect it to be this huge!
One unit of a high-tier civilization’s currency was equivalent to a million units of a low-tier civilization’s currency!
What kind of concept was this!
At that moment, w.a.n.g Teng suddenly remembered that he had obtained a lot of celest.i.tes from the dark apparition’s military camp when he went on his first military mission.
However, the bad thing was that he had sold most of them and only left a little for himself. After all, those ores weren’t useful for him, and it was better for them to be exchanged for money back then.
And he sold those celest.i.tes for a few billion of Earth’s coins. It wasn’t even enough for Olant Federation’s currency.
He was fuming now that he thought about it!
“What’s wrong?” Round Ball couldn’t help but take a few steps back. It asked carefully when it saw the scary look on his face.
“I have lost countless billions!” w.a.n.g Teng turned and walked away. “No, I have to return to Earth!”
Round Ball was a little stunned and held him back frantically, “What are you doing? You finally came out, and now you want to go back? You must be crazy!”
“You don’t understand.” w.a.n.g Teng wanted to vomit blood in depression.
“What is going on exactly? Tell me, and I’ll see what we can do.” Round Ball was helpless. Sometimes, it thought that w.a.n.g Teng was very mature, unlike a young man in his twenties. Other times, he was childish and was like a big kid who made others speechless.
And w.a.n.g Teng said it.
Round Ball was also speechless after listening to it and kept lamenting, “What a waste, what a waste!”
“Yeah, you would think so too. If I went back to get those celest.i.tes, I would have to spend hundreds of millions of coins. I wouldn’t make a loss.” w.a.n.g Teng did his calculations.
He knew that if he was going to the Great Qian Empire, he would definitely need money. Now, he was just a poor man.
w.a.n.g Teng was like a country b.u.mpkin carrying a thousand dollars in his pocket. Although he had earned quite a sum in the valleys, it wasn’t even enough for a good meal in the big city.
Someone like him who was used to being wealthy on Earth would not be able to stand being a poor man.
Although Round Ball felt pity for him, it still stopped him and said quickly, “We have no time to waste now. People from the Olant Federation will come soon. However, it seems that Earth does have many treasures now. The most important thing is to gain control of Earth so that you can develop it in the future. Don’t be penny-wise and pound-foolish.”
w.a.n.g Teng wasn’t stupid. He understood immediately and nodded. “You’re right. I almost got my priorities wrong. Let’s obtain autonomous control of Earth first!”
“That’s right!” Round Ball heaved a sigh of relief. “I have another piece of good news for you.”
“What good news?”
“I found the source of celest.i.tes from the battlecraft’s database,” Round Ball said mysteriously.
