Chapter 430: Chapter 430

After finally prying the other person off, and seeing the old scholar’s big, twinkling Kazilan eyes looking at her, Qian Qi "ruthlessly" shifted her gaze away.

"This is researched by the team I invested in; I’m just the angel investor who puts up the money."

She cleared her throat and rambled nonchalantly, "But I’m really not interested in setting up a factory to manufacture weapons, so I chose to sell them to your lab."

The old scholar visibly flinched.

Who doesn’t know that in this turbulent era of instances, weapons that can kill Magic Beasts are the most profitable? As an investor, naturally, you hope for more money, and it’s best if the core technology of the weapon is under your control.

So, as an old expert in the arms direction, Qian Qi’s words were like a billionaire saying to a poor guy with a monthly income of two thousand: "I’m not interested in money."

Seriously, what a show-off!

Since Qian Qi spoke up, the old scholar had nothing more to say, but secretly plotted to persuade the boss to poach Qian Qi’s research team after she left.

"Alright, you can leave now." After confirming there were no issues with the documents, Nangong Yan stood up and invited, "Let’s go, sign the contract and then head to the finance department to settle up."

According to the negotiation, Nangong Yan would pay half the deposit, and only after the Blast Flame Gun was successfully developed would he pay the remaining balance.

However, before transferring the money, he suddenly asked, "Qiqi, are you only selling to me?"

Qian Qi remained calm, already having the answer prepared: "Don’t worry, once the new goods are out, I’ll prioritize selling them to you."

Her words implied two meanings.

I will definitely sell to others.

Don’t think about monopolizing the core technology by silencing me; I have even greater value.

As long as Nangong Yan is smart, he wouldn’t choose to kill her.

After all, weapons are something that you want to have as early as possible. The Nangong family is already at the forefront; even if other families also possess the Blast Flame Gun, just setting up a factory and recruiting people for research would take quite some time.

By that time, the Nangong family might have already monopolized the Blast Flame Gun.

Nangong Yan chuckled, not saying anything more, "Okay."

He actually wasn’t worried whether Qian Qi would sell to others; after all, as Qian Qi thought, he was confident in monopolizing the Blast Flame Gun industry before other families could manufacture them.

He just wanted to confirm whether Qian Qi would lie to him.

After leaving the lab, Qian Qi didn’t let Nangong Yan give her a ride. Once her hovercar was airborne, she immediately opened Light Brain and sent a message to Su Ang.

[I am your uncle]: Hey, senior, interested in some magic weapons?

"Hmm?" Qian Qi scratched her head.

Aren’t you supposed to ask what kind of weapon it is first? Why go straight to asking for the price?

[I am your uncle]: Considering how well we know each other, I’ll give you a friendly price: 30 billion!

No response came from the other side, and just as Qian Qi was wondering, she received a notification from Light Brain of a 60 billion transaction.

An angel! An angel! Senior, you’re the most perfect, most noble angel in my heart! I love you madly, with 360° of unconditional love!

Just as she was about to send over the electronic version of the Blast Flame Gun manual, Qian Qi suddenly remembered she hadn’t added Su Ang as a friend yet, but just as she was about to click agree, Su Ang sent a message.

[...]: Where are you now, I’ll come to find you.

[I am your uncle]: Just about to head back to the orphanage

The Light Brain went silent again, and Qian Qi rubbed her nose and poked open Sikong Wang’s Light Brain Number.

[I am your uncle]: Wangwang, interested in magic weapons?

[Wangwang striving to get rich]: Oh? You got something good again? What type of magic weapon is it? Let me take a look!

Qian Qi couldn’t help but nod, "See, this is the normal reaction."

[Wangwang striving to get rich]: Oh, also, how much does it cost?

Isn’t this such a serious thing? You should check first, then confirm if you want to buy it and for how much!

[I am your uncle]: Considering how familiar we are, I’ll give you a friendly price: 30 billion!

Over on that side, Sikong Wang, who had been tight on cash because of using Magic God Grass to treat his mother’s illness, looked at his account balance and replied:

[Wangwang striving to get rich]: Qiqi, hang on a second.

After typing, he quickly dialed Sikong Lin’s phone number, "Dad, can you transfer me 60 billion?"

Sikong Lin’s deep voice immediately rose to a high pitch like a performance when he heard this, "Why do you need so much money! Even though you’re the future heir of the Sikong family, some things you haven’t learned yet, and you want to control so much money at once..."

Sikong Wang: "But Qiqi is selling something."

Sikong Lin’s tone changed, "You’re already 21 years old; it’s time to learn how to manage the family’s money. I’ll tell the butler to transfer money to you."

Dad, your ability to change face is faster than a woman’s.

On that side, Qian Qi again received a notification of a 60 billion transaction.

She scratched her head in confusion, "Are heirs these days so rich? They can’t even look at a 30 billion small project and insist on giving 60 billion?"

No wonder she’s not a rich person; she really can’t keep up with the thought process of rich people. Thıs content belongs to novelꜰire.net

With more than 6,000 billion in her pocket, Qian Qi genuinely exclaimed in awe.

"Who should I sell it to next?" Qian Qi took out another Light Brain from her hovercar, looking at Gong Qiang, Tang Yan, Ye Shi Yao, and He Qizhi on her list. She had met Tang Yan, the heir of the Tang family, when handling the Qing City instance, and Ye Shi Yao was contacted to deal with the sealed city instance because the heir of the Ye family was unavailable.

"Let’s ask Gong Qiang first!"

Qian Qi excitedly opened Gong Qiang’s chat box.

[I’m really generous]: Brother Qiang, I have something good here. Do you want to buy it?

[Little Strong wants to become stronger]: What good stuff? It’s not something for treating constipation, is it? (cautious.jpg)

Gong Qiang still remembers the time Qian Qi had him mess up his pants.

[I’m really generous]: Look at you talking like that; we’re good brothers who’ve been through thick and thin together. I naturally wouldn’t sell such a good remedy for constipation to you.

Constipation is a tricky problem; how could she easily sell such a secret remedy～

[Little Strong wants to become stronger]: Damn! (swearing.jpg)

[Little Strong wants to become stronger]: So what do you want to sell? (curious turtle peeking.gif)

[I’m really generous]: A short gun-style magic weapon with the power comparable to an A-level short gunman. Interested?

[Little Strong wants to become stronger]: Really? You’re not bluffing me? Why wouldn’t you keep such a good thing for yourself? No wait, you’re a Daoist, how would you have such a thing?

[I’m really generous]: Our True Void Palace is incredibly stingy. It’s only normal for us to be involved in various industries; researching magic weapons is something even a kid can do. (master nose picking.gif)

Damn, he’s bragging again!

[Little Strong wants to become stronger]: You have to show me first; I have to see if it’s real or fake.

[I’m really generous]: Both the Su Family and the Sikong family have bought it; aren’t you buying it?

[Little Strong wants to become stronger]: !!!

[Little Strong wants to become stronger]: You actually sold to so many families! Never mind, where are you? I’m coming to find you right now!

[I’m really generous]: Go to my girlfriend’s orphanage; I’m just waiting to meet her after school.

[Little Strong wants to become stronger]: Pfft, having a girlfriend makes you special... you wait for me, I’m coming right away! (spur into action.gif)

Qian Qi rubbed her chin. This strong guy loves using memes, kinda cute.

Qian Qi used the same approach to send messages to a few others, and as expected, upon hearing that the Su Family and Sikong family had bought it, they all expressed that they do want to meet her immediately.

Qian Qi thinks recently she has very successfully PUA’d the Seven Great Families; look, in the past they surely would have asked her to beg them before she could promote her stuff.

But now, each one is scrambling to visit her personally!

"Sigh." Qian Qi looked at the system panel with a heavy expression, "System, at this moment, I’m really jealous of you."

"Binding with such an extraordinarily talented woman that there’s no second one with such unique qualities in the world was the best decision you made in your life; how could I not go wild with envy and resentment?"

System: ... You shut up, you rare crazy person!

"Let’s go~ home!" Qian Qi laughed heartily, lightly touched the hovercar’s control panel, and set the destination to Bright Orphanage. She placed her hands behind her head, leisurely saying, "Haven’t been back to the orphanage for a while; it’s time to go tease those little kids!"
