Chapter 1648 Transaction Failed

If Xiao Moshan wanted to reach the top, he could only do it at Shuguang Base. The conditions at the abandoned mine were too poor.

However, he and Xiao Qin were already iconic in the abandoned mine. Once they left, the place would be useless.

Qu Jianlei thought for a while and sent Yuanyuan to guard the situation, with Tianyin and Claire in the middle to provide support.

After all, there is no need to retain the stronghold of the abandoned mine for too long.

When the conversion of Tianhou Mi Mansion is completed, everyone can evacuate from Tianfeng Star.

After Yuanyuan rushed there, Xiao Qin also came to Shuguang Base. Now, her advancement is still far away.

However, she seemed to have accepted the result and looked quite calm.

Seeing this, Hua Scorpion couldn't help but say something to her, "If you work hard, there is still hope!"

When Xiao Qin heard this, he just smiled and said nothing, but Xiao Moshan said, "Okay, you don't need to say any more."

They all climbed up from the bottom, but no matter what, who wouldn't know how to cherish the opportunity?

Three months later, Xiao Moshan successfully overcame the tribulation and became the second person in the team with the highest wind attribute after Hua Xiezi.

However, after advancing, he did not rush to choose a magical weapon, but expressed that he hoped to use the magical weapon in exchange for the opportunity for Xiao Qin to overcome the tribulation.

He didn't know how to make Xiao Qin advance, but he thought that the boss might have the means.

If the boss has no choice, it doesn't matter. He is willing to guard a certain contact point with Xiao Qin in the years to come.

As for team battles...he won't participate if it's not necessary.

He wanted to spend more time accompanying Xiao Qin for the rest of his life, and then continue to work for the team through life and death.

I have to say that this guy's personality is really troublesome. He used to be foolishly loyal to the army, but now he just wants to accompany Xiao Qin.

But on the other hand, he who has always liked to fight and kill, maybe... really longs for a peaceful life.

Only those who have truly experienced displacement and turmoil can best understand the value of peace, right?

Of course, guarding a contact point is not absolutely peaceful. The two of them were almost killed by Imperial College before.

But for digital phantoms who have little contact with the outside world and are notoriously mysterious, a fixed point of contact is also necessary.

But what Qu Jianlei was thinking was: Xiao Qin should be in his eighties now?

Unconsciously, he has lived for more than seventy years in this life.

Time flies so fast...

After Xiao Moshan advanced, he did not rush back to Tianfeng, but took Xiao Qin to Yanyutai.

The two traveled there for two months and continued traveling to places such as Panshi and Future Star.

The cost of using teleportation is very high, which is equivalent to a trip with public funds.

However, the two of them have been guarding Tianfeng's desolate mine for many years, and they have worked hard without credit, so this fee is nothing.

Seriously, this piece of dog food made the paranoid feel a little emotional, and he also went to Yanyutai to accompany Mu Yu.

The fourth master accidentally heard about this and went to the future star to find Youyou.

The relationship between the two is a bit subtle. They are more than just friends but not lovers. However, the main reason is that Youyou doesn't have much feelings for him.

But the fourth master didn't take it seriously. Instead, he found the boss and asked him to help find out what the probability of Youyou's impact was.

Youyou's qualifications were relatively average, but a little better than Xiao Qin's. Qu Jianlei did a casual divination and felt that there was still hope.

Unknowingly, the sour smell of love filled the Digital Phantom team.

Regardless of Xiao Moshan's influence on the team, the disaster he suffered when he overcame the tribulation again made the government make a painful decision.

They sent the Supreme Lord Datra to discuss the purchase of the demon and information on overcoming the tribulation.

Datra was a good friend of Leonardo da Vinci and helped look after his property during the years when he was trapped in the Maiden Star Territory.

Previously, Datra was not sure whether her friend's recent disappearance was because he had taken refuge with the Digital Phantom.

Now that the news is confirmed, he came here not only to help the government to make a case, but also to have some personal thoughts.

Unfortunately, when he arrived, he did not see Leonardo da Vinci.

The person who received him was Jia Shuiqing. She said that Da Vinci had gone into seclusion to practice. As for the specific location... it was not convenient to disclose.

But Mrs. Jia also said that after meeting Da Vinci, she would tell him.

Datra felt a little disappointed. As a result, there was no one left to help Guan Guan.

However, he still had to complete the tasks assigned by the government.

Officials stated that the empire is currently fighting on two fronts and the financial pressure is too great. The price of one hundred billion is simply too high.

They hope to pay RMB 500 billion in advance to purchase general and superficial information, and then consider purchasing some targeted information later.

Formally, officials appear to recognize the value of the information they possess and are willing to pay the price.

But Qu Jianlei felt that this amount of 500 billion... was a bit interesting.

The cost of Dogan's purchase of the star cluster was also 500 billion. Is it a coincidence?

She paid the fee in installments. From the empire's point of view, the two expenses could be considered to be offset.

Of course, from an operational perspective, there are some technical issues.

For example, from a financial perspective, borrowing and disbursement should be two-way, and local income and imperial income are also different.

But in any case, the amounts of these two huge transactions are actually the same. This topic should not be ignored.

And huge payments may involve many links, including but not limited to position calls.

In this case, why can't special cases be handled specially and the funds on both sides be offset?

But Datra didn't say a word about the star cluster purchase fee paid by Dogan, which is a bit interesting.

Qu Jianlei doesn't know much about finance, but Mu Guang knows something about it.

Mu Guang said that what you think may not be correct, but there is no doubt that this number implies something.

He thinks the most likely possibility is that the Empire is unwilling to express its approval of the transaction of acquiring the ownership of the star cluster.

Maybe they want to imply that the transaction is illegal. After all, the Empire has not passed the filing so far.

However, the Empire may also want to simply say that these two things are one and the same and cannot be confused.

To expand a little, that is, the Empire may still raise objections to the transaction in the future.

I have to admit that people who engage in politics do consider many issues.

That is, Mu Guang has been engaged in gray transactions for many years and is more sensitive to similar things.

In short, he thought that the Empire offered such a price without linking the two things, which at least could not be said to be well-intentioned.

Qu Jianlei was unhappy when he heard it, and instructed Jia Shuiqing to ask Datla directly.

"This 500 billion is equivalent to the cost of Dogan's purchase of star clusters. Why can't the two offset each other?"

And Datla actually knew the reason very well.

It's just that he was also instructed. If Digital Phantom didn't ask, he didn't have to take the initiative to mention it.

Now the other party has clearly asked, which shows that he is not without relevant sensitivity.

He can only answer, "If it offsets each other, wouldn't it be an endorsement of that transaction?"

Disapproval does not necessarily mean opposition, but endorsement at least means acquiescence.

Jia Shuiqing understood what it meant when he heard it, and couldn't help but sneered, "You spend all your time thinking about these things?"

In any case, the other party deliberately quoted such a price, at least implying that he would not support that transaction.

She couldn't make the decision on such matters, so she informed the boss again.

Qu Jianlei hesitated for a moment and said, "You can get away with it... The more you get, the greater the cause and effect. We just want energy blocks."

The key is that the purification of the Skyhook Maze has entered a critical period and is not far from success. At the same time, the consumption of energy blocks has also increased dramatically.

He had previously accumulated some energy blocks, which are now being consumed rapidly, and the inventory is in a state of deficit.

If the supply chain cannot be adjusted, it won't take too long before the storage of energy blocks will run out.

And these 500 billion energy blocks will be a very effective supplement-it's always right to prepare more reserves anyway.

However, it is very regrettable that although he was going to accept the other party's hint, Datla said that he could not pay with energy blocks.

"The empire means that this sum of money can be paid in one go, but I hope you can set up a dedicated account."

The account will definitely not be regulated, but it is disgusting to be able to monitor it.

Datla actually hates this answer very much, because it is obvious that this is a further test by the government.

-If Digital Phantom can accept that the transaction is not legitimate, he can try to continue to put pressure on it.

However, Jia Shuiqing's answer was also very straightforward, "If that's the case, then you can leave... I don't want to see you anymore."

She didn't even need to ask the boss for permission to make this decision. She had seen people who didn't know what was good for them, but she had never seen such an ignorant person.

"Sorry, that's not what I meant," Datra said hurriedly.

"I'm just relaying the message for the government... What they meant was that the war is tense at the moment, and the supply and demand of energy blocks are a bit unbalanced."

"Don't say those useless things," Jia Shuiqing said with a cold face, "If you keep pestering me, I won't let you leave even if you want to!"

At this moment, Datra really wanted to get angry. They are all above the Supreme, do you need to be so arrogant?

He is not a person who is used to being bullied!

But in the end, he still snorted coldly, "I'm just passing on a message for someone else, why do you have to be so ugly?"

"Awkward... Ha," Old Lady Jia sneered, "I'm doing it for Da Vinci's sake, otherwise I would have just taken action."

This transaction actually failed.

Jia Shuiqing went to the boss to explain that he was indeed a little bit impatient and was willing to take responsibility.

However, Qu Jianlei shook his head disapprovingly and muttered softly, "It's still getting more and more targeted."

Then he issued another order to increase the output of the existing energy stone mines as much as possible.

He was not sure whether the government had reached a consensus to make trouble for Digital Phantom, but at least some people were targeting it.
