"Robbing Money"

Everyone else logged off soon after.

Luo Feng was somewhat troubled. He had just asked Babata to search for the metal combination needed by the Golden Horn Beast in the Virtual Universe. After estimating, if the growth was accelerated by 89 times, it would require more than 60 billion Black Dragon Coin per year at the current stage!

Even if it increases fivefold, it would still require more than 100 million a year.

But I have no money.

Thunder God took a sip of juice and smacked his lips. "I've really learned something new today. I never imagined there was such a wonderful thing as Virtual Universe."

"But even the most amazing things cost money," Lin Yan said. "You guys wander around Qiu Long City, I'll figure something out."

They rested for a night in Qiu Long City. The universe is not all prosperity; darkness is ever-present.

The ubiquitous slave trade and the arbitrary exploitation of non-citizens left a deep impression on them.

The next day.

In the spacious reception room.

"What brings you to meet me?" asked a middle-aged man with three eyes and a face covered in spots.

Lin Yan sat across from his desk, with two Flowing Silver Guard standing behind him.

"Mr. Mu Er, do you think there's a market for this kind of Laser Gun?"

He smiled, and a black Laser Gun, about two meters long and with a caliber of about 20 centimeters, suddenly appeared in his hand.

"I hope to cooperate with your company in this regard."

Mu Er looked surprised. It was obvious that the other party had Space Ring, but that was not surprising. It was normal for someone with the Flowing Silver Guard to have a Space Ring.

He picked up the black Laser Gun that Lin Yan had pushed over and examined it closely, saying, "The craftsmanship is exquisite, and the design style is also outstanding. May I ask what level of Laser Gun this is?"

Lin Yan said calmly, "I am A9-rank. I have my own Life Planet territory, which allows me to supply large quantities of goods to the Tie Luo Company."

"A9-rank?" Mu Er was somewhat excited.

He became even more humble and polite than before. "May I have someone test its specific power?"

Lin Yan extended his hand. "Please go ahead."

Mu Er pressed a red button on his desk, and someone immediately came in. Mu Er instructed, "Go and test whether this Laser Gun is A9-rank. Give me a detailed data report, but be quick and don't waste the guests' time."

"Yes, Mr. Mu Er."

The subordinate carefully picked up the black Laser Gun and hurriedly walked out.

Mu Er looked at Lin Yan and smiled, "Mr. Lin, you have an extraordinary bearing. May I ask which family you come from?"

The Lin Yan before them was not only a young man who had become Stellar level, but also had Flowing Silver Guard protecting him, Space Ring, his own Life Planet territory, and the technology to produce A9-rank Laser Gun. Clearly, he came from an extraordinary background.

"It's not convenient to talk about this. As Mr. Mu Er knows, the competition within the family is quite fierce for people like us. So when we reach a certain age, we are sent out to take charge of things. Then the family judges our performance and we are qualified to manage the corresponding resources."

Lin Yan uttered a load of nonsense. "I had contact with Tie Luo Company in the Imperial Capital Star before, and I was very impressed, which is why I was thinking of reaching a cooperation agreement with your company."

Mu Er didn't think Lin Yan was lying. It's normal for families in the universe to have such rules; it's a form of advantageous competition.

The fact that someone of this Stellar level could produce A9-rank Laser Gun technology clearly indicates their extraordinary status. He had previously speculated that they were very likely from the Imperial Capital Star.

However, most of the famous families in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire have a base on the Imperial Capital Star. It's impossible to guess which family it is, but that doesn't matter.

The important thing is the business itself.

A9-rank Laser Gun sell very well and are never hard to sell. The price of Laser Gun is generally similar to that of slaves of the same level, and they are even more popular. The transportation difficulty is on a completely different level. Orders from any planet can easily amount to tens or hundreds of thousands.

If the distance is far, the transportation cost of hundreds of thousands of slaves would be exorbitant, but hundreds of thousands of Laser Gun would be much lighter in comparison.

Because the price of A9-rank Laser Gun is around 50,000 Black Dragon Coin, while B1-rank costs over 1 million, even those who buy B-grade Laser Gun will also buy a large number of A9-rank laser guns to arm their subordinates.

The A9-rank can be said to be the largest in terms of market sales.

The universe is vast, and the conditions on each planet are complex. Moreover, as a major company in the Ganwu Universe Country, the market that Tie Luo Company faces is astonishing.

Soon, the subordinate returned, carrying Laser Gun and a data report.

Mu Er looked at the data and found that the performance in all aspects was the best among the A9-rank, which made him very satisfied.

He formally brought up the business. "Mr. Lin, how much cargo do you have?"

Lin Yan said, "For the first batch, I can contribute five million, since I haven't been in charge for very long, but the subsequent production capacity can be increased."

"So, Mr. Lin, do you have connections with Class B Laser Gun? Our company is also very interested in that."

Mu Er was somewhat excited. This kind of business was the most profitable for them. The first batch of five million wasn't a lot, but it wasn't a small amount either. If this deal went well, his promotion wouldn't be a problem.

Lin Yan smiled noncommittally, "That depends on whether our cooperation can continue to be pleasant."

"Pleasant, of course it's pleasant." Mu Er laughed heartily, then said to Lin Yan, "Then let's discuss the details of our cooperation."

"The price we can offer is 30,000 Black Dragon Coin per item. Since this is the first transaction, we will pay on the spot after we have inspected and confirmed that the first batch of goods is in good condition. For subsequent transactions, we will pay a 30% deposit in advance, but there will be a one-month payment period."

This is the advantage of being in the arms trade; their profit margins are the highest, unlike any other business.

Lin Yan remained calm. The price was within his expectations, and the other party was clearly sincere. This was one of the advantages of cooperating with a large company.

In this kind of business, the initiative lies with the other party, and you don't have much bargaining power. As long as the price offered by the other party is reasonable, that's fine.

He said, "I can accept 30,000 Black Dragon Coin, but you will be responsible for any tax issues that arise. Tie Luo Company has a deep foundation and can handle this better."

"Furthermore, since this is a long-term partnership, I would like to have VIP status with your Tie Luo Company, and enjoy discounts on all your products."

Mu Er stood up and smiled, "Mr. Lin is a major client of our Black Dragon Mountain Empire branch, so of course there's no problem with that."

"Then let's have a pleasant collaboration."

Lin Yan also stood up. "Because it is a family business, all transactions need to be supervised by the family. Therefore, for subsequent transactions, you will need to open a new bank account with the Cosmic Galaxy Bank. I will store the goods in a warehouse on another planet. I will arrange for someone to hand them over to your company later."

Mu Er said, "No problem, it's convenient for us anytime."

Lin Yan left Tie Luo Company and returned to his hotel.

Hong and the other two were chatting around the table when Lin Yan came in and overheard Luo Feng saying that he was going to sell the Dun Tian Suo.

After careful consideration, Luo Feng realized that his main combat force was the Golden Horn Beast, and his Earthling Clone had also reached the Planetary level Tier 7, not far from the Stellar level.

It's not that the Dun Tian Suo can't be sold. As long as I can quickly get my physical fitness to the Planetary level Tier 7, my Mental Power can break through to the Stellar level. At that time, I can take out the Stellar level account left by Huyan Bo, and the problem will naturally be solved.

He doesn't have any battles to fight right now, so telekinetic weapons aren't that important to him.

Lin Yan walked in and laughed, "If we really want to sell things, we might as well sell my Arc Saber Disc and Black Dragon Ship. Those can fetch over 10 billion each."

"But not anymore, I've already taken care of the money."

All three of them were surprised. "Resolved?"

How was it solved?

Luo Feng asked blankly, "Besides selling those things, is there any other way for us?"

"Of course," Lin Yan said with a slight smile. "Why do you think we're poor?"

They were even more confused; we are very poor.

"Let me do some math with you."

Lin Yan also sat down.

"An ordinary Life Planet can generate 600 million Black Dragon Coin in revenue for a lord in a year. Although Earth is an unclaimed Life Planet, we are the ones who can utilize this resource. We are the de facto Earth Lord."

Thunder God then said, "But we don't have any special products on Earth."

Lin Yan replied, "On Mars, I discovered a deposit of over 9 billion tons of Xuan Iron. Xuan Iron is an A8-rank metal, very cheap. One ton of Xuan Iron costs 0.0032 Black Dragon Coin, but that's our capital."

They immediately calculated that the 9 billion tons of black iron was worth just over 20 million Black Dragon Coin.

It's not a small amount, but it's still not as valuable as the 7 Cosmic Coin Lin Yan has. 7 Cosmic Coin would be worth more than 30 million Black Dragon Coin.

Luo Feng then realized where the Profound Iron Essence he had been eating came from.

"In addition, we have two Intelligent life form that even immortals may not possess. One of them even followed Immortal Expert for 60 million years and has extensive knowledge."

Babata listened with a hint of pride, praising me!

"We have population, raw materials, and technology. If ordinary planets can earn 600 million, we can naturally earn even more."

Hong and the others found it very reasonable, and their eyes lit up.

Lin Yan is so confident, it's estimated that it could be as high as 6 billion.

Thunder God asked, "So, Lin Yan, how did you do it? Approximately how much money did you make?"

"150 billion."

Lin Yan's calm voice rang out, yet it sounded like a thunderclap, deafening and resounding.

The three of them looked shocked, and Luo Feng even stammered, "How... how much?"

Lin Yan smiled and said, "This new world we are seeing is incredibly prosperous and thriving, yet it is also primitive and wild."

"One ton of A8-rank black iron costs 0.0032 Black Dragon Coin. Pure metal is that cheap. When it is made into an alloy, the material becomes harder, but it is even less valuable. However, it is enough to meet the needs of an A9-rank Laser Gun."

"A Grade A Energy Crystal of the corresponding specifications costs 5 Black Dragon Coin, but when the two are added together, the finished product is worth 50,000 Black Dragon Coin, which is astonishing. Even though we are only responsible for production, the income of 30,000 Black Dragon Coin is almost pure profit."

"After I acquired the knowledge of Babata, I immediately started to arrange this matter. Now the production has reached 5 million, and I brought them all. I spent 5 Cosmic Coin to buy enough Energy Crystal to obtain such benefits."

Luo Feng was dumbfounded. "Babata has this technology?"

Lin Yan chuckled and said, "Actually, we could do a B-level project with even more investment, but we're too weak right now, so I don't dare to do it."

"We can produce it at most, but it's too dangerous to do business with it now."

A-level is just a small-scale operation, while B-level is too risky. Right now, he's the only one at the Stellar level, which is inappropriate.

He actually had other options, but those were riskier and would definitely cause problems.

He used his own life force to nurture the seedlings of the Mo Yun Vine. His current Gene Level is 20 times that of Stellar level, and his original special ability has undergone a tremendous transformation, so doing this kind of thing is no problem for him.

The seeds of the Mo Yun Vine are not expensive, but if they can be planted and cultivated into seedlings, each seedling is worth hundreds of billions of Black Dragon Coin.

Babata screamed wildly in Luo Feng's mind, "What do you mean I have this technology?"

"I am the demon Babata! How dare you look down on me?"

Luo Feng then remembered something. During the Devouring Beast incident, he had asked Babata if it had the ability to create a weapon capable of destroying Stellar level. Its answer at the time was that the creation was extremely complex and would take at least several years.

He immediately asked in his mind, "Didn't you say that thing is very complicated to manufacture and will take several years to complete?"

Babata said, "That refers to Grade B. Grade A is not complicated. Moreover, even for Grade B, as long as the precision of the process can be guaranteed, industrialized manufacturing will only save more time, and many processes can be completed simultaneously."

Babata can even build spaceships from alloy scraps; this is a piece of cake for him.

"But it's really amazing. How come I didn't think of that?" Babata really hadn't thought of using Earth's population and his own technology to create wealth.

Thunder God exclaimed, "Making 30,000 from 5 dollars? Isn't that robbery?"

One yuan can leverage a business worth 6,000 yuan – that's unimaginable!

Legally and legitimately robbing people!

"If things continue to develop this way, wouldn't we be able to snowball our success?"

Their current production scale is not large enough. They could even earn enough to support a Life Planet in just a few years. Then, by replicating this model, the snowball would just keep getting bigger and bigger.

Lin Yan shook his head. "This is a capital-intensive industry, and the development speed is not fast. To be honest, the money earned is only a small amount. It is not easy to snowball. The survival mode of many planets is very primitive, and it takes a lot of time to train personnel."

"Besides, slaves can't create any value, but humans can."

This is not something just anyone can do; it requires a high level of personnel quality. Earth has so many years of industrialization experience and many creative people, which is why Lin Yan thought of doing this.

"And I have an idea that takes no risk and can make more money in twenty years than even immortals could."

"If this is accomplished, the benefits will far exceed our expectations."

Lin Yan pursed his lips. "Now this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is right in front of us. It's up to us to see if we can seize it."

Guess what I'm going to write about in the next chapter!
