Chapter 433: Chapter 433
After Qian Qi slipped into the building, she shoved the box into the system’s storage space. When she came out again, Gong Qiang, Ye Shi Yao, and others had also arrived at the orphanage one after another.
Gong Qiang had arrived with Tang Yan. As soon as they got out of the car, Tang Yan, who had a craving for smoke, picked up her rosewood pipe, but after catching a glimpse of the children in the cafeteria, she gently rubbed her temples and put the pipe back in the car.
"Tang Yan, you’re here!" Qian Qi warmly greeted her. She had already become familiar with Tang Yan during their rapid instance-clearing in Qing City, so the two chatted enthusiastically.
Gong Qiang watched the two chatting with a feeling of itchiness and forcibly separated them, fearing they’d get too close. "Stop dawdling, let’s hurry up and discuss the magic weapons!"
Qian Qi glanced at him, pondered for two seconds, and said, "Do you know what you look like right now?"
Gong Qiang: "What do I look like?"
Qian Qi: "Like the eunuch outside the ancient sleeping palace urging the emperor to finish up with his concubine and get back to work."
Who are you calling a eunuch? You’re the eunuch!
The children leaned by the windows, their big eyes staring at these big shots they usually only see on television.
"Oh my gosh, I can see Uncle Gong Qiang from this close." Xiao An’s eyes were wide open. He especially admired Gong Qiang’s muscular build. If he could grow such muscles, he’d be able to protect Xiao Min.
Xiao Min looked at Xiao An with a complex expression, "Isn’t calling him ’uncle’ too old? Call him ’big brother’."
Xiao An didn’t see a problem with that.
Xiao Min, on the other hand, gazed at Tang Yan in her elegant red cheongsam, her eyes full of admiration and reverence. Naturally, the girls looked up to female heroes, especially ones as strikingly beautiful and mature as Tang Yan, who was the kind of adult every little girl in the orphanage wanted to become.
"The other two are a bit lacking." Child B took a look at He Yao Bai and then at Ye Shi Yao, shaking his head with an old-fashioned air, "They don’t seem all that great."
The other children couldn’t help but nod in agreement.
Outside the courtyard.
He Yao Bai, who had been forced to come because his son, He Qizhi, was too afraid of Qian Qi, straightened his back upon seeing Ye Shi Yao was also there.
Thank goodness, there’s another middle-aged person here.
But really, both the Sikong and Tang families, how could they send their younglings when dealing with something as serious as magic weapons?
You have to realize these are magic weapons, the kind of thing that could add eight wings to a chick. If the He Family acquired a large number of A-level magic weapons, they could rebuild their forces after the S-level dungeon erupts, avoiding a decline in power due to war losses.
"Da Fang, where is that weapon you called the Blast Flame Gun?" He Yao Bai looked around and, finding no trace of a weapon, couldn’t help asking anxiously.
Who knows how much Qian Dafang would ask for it; he was notorious for asking exorbitant prices, contrary to his generous name... He needed to think of a way to negotiate...
As he was randomly contemplating, Qian Qi slapped six manuals onto the stone table in the courtyard, "The manufacturing methods are all here, a flat 120 billion, pay and you can take it and leave."
He Yao Bai’s eyes instantly widened.
For an A-level Blast Flame Gun manufacturing manual?!
What is Qian Dafang, a philanthropist?!!! Those are manuals! They outline the core technology to make as many Blast Flame Guns as one desires!
He had thought that Qian Dafang wanted to sell the Blast Flame Guns to make a fortune, but it turned out he was selling the most precious magic weapon technology!
He Yao Bai immediately stood up, grabbing a manual and flipping through it rapidly, dazzled by the glamorous yet strikingly advanced contents.
He glanced at Ye Shi Yao, "Is it genuine?"
Ye Shi Yao, having a small weapons research lab under his name, knew a bit about such technologies.
Ye Shi Yao flipped through it, frowning, "It’s not likely fake, but there are new technologies in here, I can’t guarantee."
"How do we verify it?" He Yao Bai immediately looked at Qian Qi, "Without a finished product, how do we know you’re not tricking us with just a booklet?"
Qian Qi scratched her ear, too lazy to explain further, "Buy or not, it’s not like I’m begging you."
Saying that, she handed a manual each to Su Ang and Sikong Wang since they had already paid, giving them the manuals directly.
Sikong Wang flipped through it and immediately looked gratefully at Qian Qi.
Qi Qi is really nice; even though the price was 120 billion, she only asked him for 30 billion! Luckily he voluntarily added another 30 billion!
Even so, Qi Qi ended up at a loss!
Qian Qi, receiving Sikong Wang’s gaze, felt slightly guilty and looked away.
Initially, she really just wanted 30 billion, but since Su Ang and Sikong Wang paid 60 billion each, she was embarrassed to ask Gong Qiang and Tang Yan for just 30 billion, but she also didn’t want to sell to the He Family for the same 60 billion, so she raised it to 120 billion!
It’s not because she’s greedy!
Qian Qi wore an expression of profound anguish.
The system that likely guessed what Qian Qi was thinking: ...
You’re not greedy? Woman, your name is capitalized as GREED!
The He Family and the Ye Family were still a bit undecided, even comparing their manuals with the ones Su Ang and Sikong Wang had multiple times to make sure everything was in order. Ye Shi Yao even had a cost-saving idea.
"Why don’t our families partner up to buy one, then share it..."
Qian Qi scratched her ear again and said lightly, "Then it’ll be 720 billion per copy." Read complete versıon only at novel•fire.net
"How about I buy it and sell it to you at half price?" He Yao Bai messaged Ye Shi Yao using Light Brain.
Ye Shi Yao hesitated, uncertain if He Yao Bai would still sell it to him later or go back on his word.
After all, the relations among the Seven Great Families were not nearly as harmonious as they appeared. If none of them sold to him, the Ye Family would fall significantly behind.
Qian Qi propped her hand on the table, looking at them with a grin, "It’s only available today~ Once you’re gone, I’ll destroy the electronic version."
Ye Shi Yao, He Yao Bai: ...
Damn! Why is it so hard to save money from Qian Dafang’s mouth?!
Oh well, this might not be the right area to save costs, They gritted their teeth, and both He Yao Bai and Ye Shi Yao bought the Blast Flame Gun manuals.
If it turns out there’s no way to produce them, they’ll seek justice from Qian Dafang then!
In the end, all the Seven Great Families had to face this loss together for it not to count as a real loss!
However, "Where did you get these from? Can you really do this research?" Ye Shi Yao scrutinized Qian Qi, contemplating something.
This Qian Dafang, of mysterious origin with such strange capabilities, seemed rather bizarre. Or could it be he had some hidden backing like the True Void Palace...
If the True Void Palace indeed existed, could the Ye Family recruit them...
While Ye Shi Yao meticulously pondered, Qian Qi spoke up.
What she said was like dropping tens of thousands of torpedoes into a pond, causing an explosive upheaval, "Oh, I can’t actually do this research, these manuals are stolen from the Nangong Family."
After a peculiar deathly silence, everyone present erupted into shrill exclamations, "What——stolen?!"
