747 Ten Billion Coins!!!
[Cheer up! The three sovereigns decided to help you with all the weapons you want regardless of anything else]
[That’s great! Send me a price list then and I’ll order something big this time]
[They are curious to see how much you will spend this time. But they agreed to join efforts together and form a single list for you. I hope you don’t mind it]
It seemed they were slightly afraid of other sovereigns if they knew about this. So they decided to make a single front, standing behind me. [I have no objections to it. Send it over]
[Right away!]
The list that appeared next took my full attention, distracting me from what I was thinking about just now.
The list contained weird names, mostly grenades or weapons used to throw out large sized and very deadly grenades.
Next to each weapon came a simple description of how to use it. I kept reading this long list of hundreds of items, while ignoring the price tag next to it.
They weren’t this pricey! Most of them were sold in batches of hundreds for a single silver grade bone of mine.
But I knew the drawback of these weapons; they were all consumables! I realised now why the Toranks didn’t open trade freely with anyone using these weapons.
They took a large amount of resources and time, plus lots of talent and great effort to make them. And at the end of the day, once used they would be lost.
It was a double edged weapon indeed. They were cheap but one had to acquire an immense amount of them.
[I want a million of each item in the list] I sent such a big demand from the start, without butting around the bushes.
They were useful, and even some would donate in an area of half a mile radius. Those were considered the most pricey of all, coming in groups of ten for a single silver bone of mine.
But I got tons of these bones. Spending just ten million of them wasn’t an issue for me.
I had lots of wars going on back on Earth. After the dust would settle with my victory, I’d go on a wide spree of collecting bones.
Something told me this time, my gains would be like never before! I wasn’t just going to collect the bones from tens of millions, even hundreds of millions of dead forces.
I was going to collect bones from many elites! If I was lucky, I might even get myself a few of those royals.
Their bones must be unique, right?
But I knew the task of killing these royals would be the hardest part in controlling the capital. That was why I was doing everything in my power to raise up my strength.
I wanted to increase my odds of killing them.
[One million… Damn! I never expected you to ask for such a big deal! You do know this will cost you slightly over ten, no… perhaps thirty million pieces of silver bones!]
[I can still pay in higher grade bones, right?]
[Oh… That will work as well. Let me return and do more math to know how much of your higher grade bones are needed]
[Ok, when can you deliver?]
[Such a high order? Hmm… It’s great I’m in the main world of our race right now. Let me check and return to you]
[Ok]
Well, I got to think about my techniques and how to absorb the contracts before doing anything else.
As he had to do his stuff, I started to navigate through the market, looking for special types of contracts.
“Hmm… A contract that can be used over a large batch of people? That might save me a lot of time when dealing with races, humans, warriors, and others who got controlled by me.”
The first special contract I found was this. It came with a high price of one hundred million coins, and could bind one million at one go.
There was another with a one billion price that could bind ten million in one go. I liked it! Not to mention that the contract was a very high grade one.
I instantly bought ten of these contracts, and five of the higher price one. I was in need of such contracts that would free me from the boring task of signing contracts in batches.
The next unique contract I found was a very binding one, even gods couldn’t break it easily. I read its description before dropping the idea of purchasing it.
“It requires the full cooperation of the other party, something I can’t guarantee in this monster case.”
I needed something to be forced over the monster when it would be first summoned. It should be in hazy status, and I had to use the best of this moment to my advantage.
“Bingo!” Just after scrolling through a few pages, I finally found something interesting.
[The infection contract: Earth grade contract. Used only by one owner. Can be repeatedly used by paying a high form of energy as a price. Needs the target to be close by, not in his sane or best condition, best to be drowsy or poisoned. It will infect the soul of the target, forcing him to sign the contract. It’s not a loyalty contract, but a safety contract that will have fifty percent probability of success and failure for the target to answer to your orders]
I read through its description and nodded in satisfaction. But when I read its price, I got scared!
“T… Ten billion coins? Damn! That’s almost half of what I got so far!” I planned to buy a few of these contracts, letting each one be absorbed in one technique.
But now I could only buy two at most.
“No problem… Let’s clean the messy inventory I have first.”
If this happened to anyone but me, I was sure he wouldn’t get a clue about what to do. But I was different.
