"T8 Cruiser blueprints, two identical physical Starcraft, and Manager Bi can choose the rest as he sees fit."
Qingyang said at once.
The reason he only wanted two Starcraft was that, given his current Mental Threshold, he could Datafy at most two more high-end cruisers.
As he saw fit.
Manager Bi immediately got a headache. The most troublesome kind of deal was when the other party said, "As you see fit."
The total value had to meet the standard, but he also could not give the other party anything useless.
Manager Bi fell into thought. In reality, he was sending a message to headquarters.
A moment later, Manager Bi looked up. "How about this? The cruiser blueprints will be for the Jianren Type Cruiser, with one hundred uses, along with two physical ships.
"We'll also provide the resources to build one Huiyue Type Battleship, plus a fifty-percent discount on upgrading fifty-one Radiant Moon Ships, including upgrades from T7 to T6!"
Oh?
Qingyang was surprised. Upgrading the fifty blueprints and the Huiyue Type Battleship he had to T7 would not be cheap.
It even included a fifty-percent discount for upgrading from T7 to T6?
Would Moonlight Group take a loss? Absolutely not!
He would not lose out either. In fact, he would even make a small profit.
After all, the Radiant Moon Battleship was merely a signature product Moonlight Group used to expand its reputation and connections.
Those who could afford a Radiant Moon Ship would not care much about its production cost.
"No problem!" Qingyang smiled.
The resources Manager Bi mentioned for building one Huiyue Type Battleship could be exchanged for enough materials for him to manufacture two Chichen Type Battleships!
The two chatted for a while before Manager Bi suddenly paused slightly, his smile widening.
"The research department has completed its verification. There are no issues with the data, so we can sign the agreement now."
Naturally, that included a confidentiality agreement.
Qingyang glanced over the Star Network's virtual contract before signing his name once he confirmed there were no problems.
Manager Bi became even more enthusiastic. "Mister Qing, your items will arrive in batches within a day. If you see any Moonlight products you like during that time, you'll get a twenty-percent discount!"
Qingyang nodded, but Guxue poked him in the waist.
When he turned around and saw the shape of Guxue's lips, he immediately understood.
He turned to the puzzled Manager Bi. "I also have the body materials of a Level Four Star Phantom Moth. Does your company buy those?"
"Does that include the Mental Crystal and Phantom Wing Membrane?" Manager Bi was interested as well.
Star Phantom Moths were extremely difficult to encounter. Even in the vast Purple Thistle Kingdom, they were rarely seen, and the Phantom Wing Membrane was a crucial material for a certain type of star armament!
A star armament, even one of white quality, was valuable enough to rival a T8 Radiant Moon Ship!
"The Mental Crystal isn't for sale. Everything else is." Qingyang said.
"The market price for the Phantom Wing Membrane is forty-five thousand Star Points. I'll buy it for fifty thousand. The remaining materials are worth around thirteen thousand in total, so I'll give you fifteen thousand. How does that sound?"
Manager Bi said with a chuckle.
A Star Phantom Moth was not enough to warrant his personal attention, but leaving a good impression on Qingyang was worth it.
Qingyang was secretly delighted. He had not expected it to sell for so much. "Of course."
Manager Bi then left first due to work.
Guxue tilted her head and looked Qingyang up and down curiously. "Brother Qingyang, do you not get along well with your family?"
Qingyang's face darkened. "What makes you say that?"
"Hehe, who doesn't even understand their own father?" Guxue stuck out her tongue.
Qingyang immediately fell silent.
If he said he did not understand him, Qingyundao only needed to give him a look for him to know what he wanted.
If he said he did understand him, he did not even know which Xiaokang Qingyundao was referring to.
Seeing Qingyang fall silent, Guxue thought she had said something wrong and was about to comfort him when he interrupted her.
"Forget it. Let's not talk about that guy. Let's go look around this planet."
Honestly, he was still very curious about those hundreds of gigantic trees. If they were not too expensive, he even wanted to buy a seed to play with.
If he dropped one onto a planet with a primitive civilization, would it affect the course of their development?
Guxing sternly glared at Guxue before following Qingyang away.
A day later.
Qingyang and the other two left the giant tree planet.
They boarded the Radiant Moon Battleship, preparing to head to the Starport at the edge of Purple Thistle City to inspect the goods.
"Sir! Sir, please wait!"
Just as the three were about to board, an energetic, burly old man suddenly appeared.
Black and white energy flashed around Guxing, and he appeared in front of Qingyang in an instant.
Qingyang looked at the crew member before him in surprise. The man was clearly from a distinguished family, yet Qingyang could not imagine he was so proficient at bodyguard work.
The burly old man was inwardly startled as well. A fourth-tier life fluctuation, and so young.
At the very least, he possessed a violet-gold Individual Might talent, and he faintly carried an aura even more noble than his own prince.
He then came to his senses and hurriedly said, "I am Red Babylon, steward to the Second Prince of the Purple Thistle Kingdom.
"I've come to invite you to an event. Though rather than an event, it would be more accurate to call it a competitive gathering for the noble children of the royal capital."
Qingyang frowned. A gathering?
Why did he smell the stench of a royal power struggle?
Although Alliance laws stood above all else, and even citizens of empires enjoyed fully guaranteed standards of living.
That did not mean the throne came without benefits. The competition was still fierce.
Seeing that Qingyang had not reacted, Steward Red added anxiously, "There will be item appraisal and individual competition events. The winners can obtain star armaments provided by the royal family."
Appraisal? Individual competition? Wasn't that practically free?
The Star of Truth's detection function would not hold back.
Qingyang, who had been about to refuse, hesitated. "Around when?"
Steward Red sighed in relief. "The banquet ended yesterday. The main event will begin in a few hours."
Guxing withdrew his aura and followed behind Qingyang with Guxue without saying a word.
He looked at Steward Red with an odd expression.
Their boss had an ability related to intuition, and this man was inviting their boss to such an event?
"Will that prodigy commander who was received by a Moonlight Group manager be coming?"
On an enormous space cruise ship.
A young man dressed in formal black attire looked down at the increasingly lively venue below and said calmly, "A star armament. Even a prodigy commander would not miss it."
The long-haired young man beside him asked curiously, "Second Brother, are you that certain he'll win?"
"Prodigies always possess unparalleled confidence," the Second Prince said indifferently.
At that moment, Qingyang and the others, having boarded the cruise ship, made their way toward the venue at an unhurried pace.
"Brother Qingyang, those heirs from big families are full of schemes. Why not let my brother go up there and beat them all up?"
Guxue whispered from the side.
"Don't look at me like that. My brother used to do exactly that—"
"Ahem!" Guxing coughed. Guxue snorted and stopped talking, then turned to wink at Qingyang, signaling for him to consider it.
Qingyang merely smiled and gave Guxing a curious look.
This guy looked so quiet, but he was not exactly well-behaved either.
Beating up heirs from major families... if he remembered correctly, this entire team came from a powerful nation, right?
"We're here, Mister Qing!" Steward Red suddenly stopped ahead.
Qingyang pulled his thoughts back and stepped through the imposing classical gates before him.
He entered directly.
As the voices in the venue gradually quieted, almost everyone turned to look at Qingyang's group.
Over the past few days, virtually every faction had investigated Qingyang's background thoroughly.
In the end, they found nothing. Even when they searched through the Star Network, they were told they lacked the required permissions.
What did that mean?
Even the detailed records of every member of the Purple Thistle Kingdom's royal family throughout history could be found on the Star Network!
"Hmph!"
Guxing seemed to greatly dislike being watched and gave a cold snort.
The dull snort rang out in everyone's minds, startling them all.
One had to know that which noble child from a major nation was not an ability user or Ancient Martial Artist? Yet their mental resistance was completely useless.
At that moment, a young man with violet eyes walked toward Qingyang and the others.
"I am Kieran Smith, the Second Prince of the kingdom. It is better to meet than to hear of you. Brother Qing truly is extraordinary."
Smith wore a warm, friendly smile.
Qingyang smiled faintly as well. "The events here interest me greatly."
Smith clearly understood Qingyang's meaning. "The event is about to begin. The first round is Individual Might. Is Brother Qing interested?"
As he spoke, his gaze shifted toward the silent Guxing beside him.
To his surprise, Qingyang smiled faintly, his expression full of humility.
"How about this? I don't like wasting time. Your Highness, have all the contestants attack me together."
"If they can hurt me within five minutes, I lose."
