Chapter 288

For example, Ningguang's Qunyu Pavilion is more than just a floating residence. The terminal machines installed on it are not decorations.

It's just that Han Xiao asked her to find that woman Ning Guang, which really made things difficult for her.

Beidou was very sure that as long as he went to find Ning Guang, the woman would probably agree, but the other party would never let go of this opportunity to squeeze him.

Hmm... Do you want to listen to Han Xiao's advice?

For a moment, Beidou was caught in a tangle.

Some people may say that Han Xiao is also one of the Seven Stars. As a Seven Star, he should also be able to privately fund Beidou to build one.

emmm, how should I put it, right or wrong.

Han Xiao does have this qualification, but the key is that he doesn't have that much cash in hand that can be mobilized.

Although Han Xiao is not short of money, and he has also become the latest top businessman because he has grasped many newly opened business opportunities in Guili City.

But most of his money is in real estate, and his cash flow is really not as large as that of a wealthy businessman like Ningguang who has accumulated wealth for decades.

The other party is currently the only candidate who can allow Beidou to obtain the steel steamship in advance.

After struggling for a moment, Beidou still couldn't make up her mind. After all, she really didn't want to deal with that woman Ningguang, it was too easy to suffer a loss.

And Beidou always felt that Han Xiao was tricking her.

It was clearly agreed before that as the naval advisor of Guili City, she would have a quota for the steel steamship. Why was she asked to turn to Ningguang now?

"Hanxiao, aren't you kidding me?"

Thinking of this, Beidou's exposed eye stared at Han Xiao suspiciously, trying to get some clues from the other person's face.

"Well..."

In an instant, Han Xiao's eyes began to wander, and she did not dare to meet Beidou's gaze.

"Sure enough, you kid is just trying to trick me!"

Seeing Han Xiao's obvious performance, Beidou was speechless. She knew that this kid was full of evil.

This time she was caught red-handed.

Chapter 464: Dan Hanxiao who doesn’t want to pay

"Tell me, why did you trick me into finding Ning Guang?"

After noticing Han Xiao's careful plan, Beidou immediately folded his hands in front of his chest and looked at the other person at leisure.

"Well... eldest sister, I am doing this for your own good."

After being discovered, Han Xiao rolled her eyes and looked at Beidou with a warm smile.

"oh?"

Beidou couldn't help but lengthen his voice, and the expression on his face became playful.

"Then tell me why you are doing it for my own good!"

"Sister, do you know how much it costs to build a Tianheng?"

How much does a Tianheng ship cost?

After hearing Han Xiao's inquiry, Beidou pondered for a moment and gave a rough figure based on his years of maritime experience.

"At least 500 million molas are needed."

"As expected of the eldest sister who has been traversing the sea for many years, her guess is very close!"

Han Xiao directly gave Beidou a thumbs up.

The total cost of building the Tianheng was 630 million molas, which was approximately 63 million in currency in the previous life.

This is no small sum of money.

Although his net worth is much more than that, it is still a bit difficult to come up with cash.

"Tsk tsk...it's really a gold-swallowing behemoth!"

Beidou couldn't help but click her tongue when she learned that a Tianheng ship cost 600 million mola. However, she knew that the floating stone, the treasure on which Ningguang's Qunyu Pavilion depended on, only cost a little over 500 million.

This is equivalent to building another jade pavilion on the sea.

"But what does this have to do with you asking me to find Ningguang?"

Beidou looked at Han Xiao with some confusion.

Although the cost of building the Tianheng was expensive, it was all official military expenditures, which Liyue's tax revenue could still afford.

She still didn't quite understand what the other party wanted to express.

"Sister, don't worry, listen to me and tell you slowly!"

Han Xiao first signaled to Beidou not to worry. After he finished speaking, she would be more than happy to go to Ning Guang to ask for money.

"The cost of building the Tianheng is not cheap. As you said, Sister, it is completely affordable with Liyue's taxes."

"But ships built with military expenditures are officially owned by the government."

"Wait...do you mean..."

After hearing this, if Beidou didn't realize Han Xiao's plan, then she was just pretending to be confused.

"Hehe, it seems that you have figured it out, eldest sister."

Seeing Beidou finally reacting, Han Xiao also had a sly smile on his lips.

Since the cost of building steel steamships comes from official military expenditures, even if Beidou finally gets it, it only has the right to use it but not ownership.

He believed that the leader of the Southern Cross Fleet in front of him, who had worked his way up from the bottom, would definitely be dissatisfied with this.

So Han Xiao gave her a trick and asked Beidou to find Ning Guang and fight Qiu Feng.

As mentioned before, the power of Qixing itself is extremely great in Liyue, especially now that Zhongli has abdicated, the scope of his power has expanded even more.

Therefore, Qixing can actually invest in ships in his own name.

If Beidou wants to get the steel steamship as soon as possible, the only person who is qualified to help her is Ningguang, who has both power and money.

As for the other Qixing's opinions, hadn't Han Xiao previously given Beidou the official title of 'Navy Advisor' in Guili City? This was tantamount to a guarantee.

With him and Ning Guang, the two Seven Stars, as the backstage, Beidou could organize another group of people to build it at the shipyard in Liyue Port.

This will not hinder the official construction plan, but also get the boat as soon as possible, killing two birds with one stone.

"You are asking me to go to Ningguang to ask for money!"

After understanding Han Xiao's plan, Beidou shook his head helplessly.

She could finally see that Han Xiao's calculations were really precise.

As long as he goes to Ning Guangla to invest, he can not only solve the ship problem, but also save Guilicheng some money.

He is indeed a man who can build Guili City in a short period of time.

The Seven Stars of Liyue are worthy of their name.

"But this is already the best plan, isn't it?"

Hearing Beidou's sigh, Han Xiao shrugged indifferently.

This is already the most effective method he can think of within the rules to help the opponent get the steel steamship as soon as possible.

"It seems that's the only way it can be."

In the end, Beidou chose to listen to Han Xiao's suggestion and chose to get the name and funds to build the ship from Ningguang.

As for the price at which the other party would get the funds to build the steel steamship from Ningguang, Han Xiao calmly said that it was none of his business.

...

Beidou took the car back to Liyue Port early the next morning, preparing to have a private talk with Ning Guang.

As for Han Xiao, he came to visit Ke Lai and Amber's residence again.

"Mr. Hanxiao, you are here!"

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Kelai slowly walking towards him with Amber's support.

"It seems that Miss Kelai is recovering well."

Seeing that the other party was able to get off the ground, Han Xiao nodded with satisfaction. During the treatment, there was so much blood all over his body, and the inside of his body was greatly shocked.

It took less than a month to get off the ground, and Ke Lai's recovery ability is quite strong.

"Thanks to Mr. Hanxiao's treatment."

Hearing Han Xiao's praise, Ke Lai's cheeks turned red and his tone was filled with excitement.

No longer troubled by the demon residue and demon scale disease, although she was somewhat weak due to excessive blood loss during the treatment, she had never felt so relaxed as she thought she would.

Moreover, the physical increase brought to her by the demonic god's residue has not disappeared, which is the main reason why Kelai was able to get to the ground in a short period of time.

It can be said that without the drag of illness, Kelai's physical fitness can be regarded as outstanding among the owners of the God's Eye.

Of course, talented players like Beidou and Noelle are not counted.

"When do you plan to return to Xumi?"

"In a week."

When Han Xiao asked when he planned to return to Xumi, Ke Lai gave him an accurate answer.

Now she can get off the ground, but her walking is still a bit unsteady.

After a few more days of rest, Kelai believes that he should be able to return to his original state.

At that time, you can set off back to Xumi.

After all, it had been more than two months since she came out this time, and she now wanted to return to Daocheng Forest as soon as possible to patrol the jungle with Master Tinari.

"In a week?"

Knowing Ke Lai's plan, Han Xiao thought for a moment, and then talked about the purpose of his special visit this time.

"Miss Kelai, I have a friend who will go to Xumi soon. I hope I can take care of him during the time."

"Mr. Hanxiao's friend?"

"I understand, I will help if necessary."

When he heard that one of Han Xiao's friends was going to Xumi, Ke Lai immediately promised that he would give him the greatest help.

Chapter 465 Ning Guang: My intelligence agents are all over Liyue

Because he retained the boost given to his body by the demonic god's residue, Ke Lai's body recovered faster every day in the next few days.

She was still a little unsteady before and within a few days she had returned to the same physical condition as when she first came back and left the city.

As their health improves, the time for Kelai and Amber to leave Guili City is getting closer and closer.

One day, early morning.

Dawn has just broken in the sky, and people who got up early in Guili City have begun their busy day. Many shops on the street are already in operation.

At this time, at the gate of the city, Ke Lai and Amber, who had fully recovered, were standing side by side, saying goodbye to Han Xiao who was standing in front of them.

"Mr. Hanxiao, then Ke Lai and I will say goodbye."

Amber put a hand on her chest and performed the knightly etiquette towards Han Xiao, with gratitude in her tone:

"Although I have said it many times, I still want to say it again."

"Thank you very much for curing Kelai!"

"Thank you, Mr. Hanxiao."

Seeing Amber thanking him, Ke Lai quickly bowed deeply to Han Xiao.

In her opinion, the other party not only cured her demon scale disease, but also helped her deal with the potential threat of the demon remnants.

This is a great favor that no matter how many times or how many times we express our gratitude.

"Miss Amber and Miss Collet, there is no need to be so polite!"

Hearing the two women's thanks, Han Xiao waved her hands, with a gentle smile on her face as always:
