To some extent, this behavior is actually the same as "crimes against humanity" and will be resisted by the whole world.
But Fels didn't know that if it was something Shaga was willing to do, other people's opinions were irrelevant.
The main reason is that they are currently weak, and the heretics have not shown any faith in justice.
Justice will only protect those who are willing to walk the path of justice, even if they have been in darkness.
……
He clinked glasses with Fels and finalized the details of the "Monster Festival".
Xia Jia tilted his head back, gulped down the soda, and looked at the unmoved Fels.
Oh, I forgot, it seems like the drinks spill out when the skeleton drinks?
He coughed awkwardly and continued, "Since you're already here, I have a business deal worth several hundred million. I wonder if the Great Sage would be interested?"
Fels glanced down at Shaka's body and thought, "No way, someone's actually interested in her skeleton?"
Her deep, husky voice came from within the black robe: "Can I know what it's about?"
"Oh. It's about..."
Before Xia Jia could finish speaking, the [ST] next to him rang.
He took the prop and connected the voice link.
"I'm back." A detached, emotionless voice rang out.
"Perfect!" Shaga controlled the minotaur to open the door, and soon after, Kato Megumi and Laila entered the room together.
The former gave Xia Jia a "check," while the latter simply put the super-hard metal he brought back on the ground with a "heave-ho."
Xia Jia took the check and exclaimed, "Huh?", "This money?"
Kato Megumi puffed out her cheeks slightly, looked away, and said:
"The ransom money for Mr. Finn. I originally wanted to exchange it for a 'magic book,' but Finn didn't give me the chance."
Shaga smiled. "It's alright, perfect timing. Lord Fels is right here, I'll talk for you."
Hearing this, Fels became even more curious about what kind of business Shaga wanted to discuss with him.
"that……"
Shaga picked up the backpack and placed it on the table, saying, "I wonder if Lord Fels is interested in the feel of ultra-hard metal."
"Superhard metal?" She flicked her cloak, a hint of interest in her eyes. "How did you know I wanted that?"
Of course I know. I have a vivid memory of that super-hard metal golem that cost 10 billion fali and was cut in half by Tiona with a single stroke.
Xia Jia squinted, interlaced his fingers, and smiled kindly:
"We are confident that we can obtain more than tens of tons of super-hard metal in a short period of time. I wonder if Lord Fels can handle it."
"Tens of tons?! Where did you get so much super-hard metal? Do you think it's as cheap as cabbage?" Fels was greatly shocked.
Super hard metals... quantifying them in tons is truly outrageous.
Fels asked in surprise, "Do you know how much superhard metal is produced in the dungeons every year?"
"There must be quite a few."
Shaga thought for a moment and realized that the source of the super-hard metal was on all the floors. The super-hard metal that Welf had dumped out of his butt to forge the Eternal Magic Sword "Radiant Moon" was the super-hard metal.
"It's only 20 tons a year."
Only 20 tons? That's the weight of a medium to heavy-duty truck.
But how big is the man-made labyrinth? One can only imagine how much effort the Daedalus family put into creating that wonder.
I'm almost embarrassed to take advantage of this deal. I even considered going in to lay tiles!
……
Shaga said, "In short, I do have access to a considerable quantity of superhard metal. Since you need it, I can give you a wholesale price."
Fells hesitated: "But I don't have that much money on hand."
A simple calculation shows that the main material of the Great Double-Edged Urga is an ultra-hard metal, and the cost, including labor, is 120 million falies.
By simply deducting labor costs and weight, one can roughly estimate the unit price of superhard metals...
Shaga tilted his head and spoke frankly:
"At 50 falies per kilogram, and like grimoires, it's priceless and unavailable. I think it would be most appropriate to exchange it as an equivalent for the Great Sage's 'work'."
Fels nodded slightly.
"make a deal!"
You might be able to buy a small amount of super-hard metal, but if the quantity is large enough, it will rise to the same level as a magic book.
If there were a quantity of 10 tons, then his super puppet could be put on the agenda.
Besides, a magic book... isn't it something I can just do with my hands?
Chapter 221 Kato Megumi: I want to spend more money! I'm not short of cash!
A grimoire is a special item written by high-level "mystic" and high-level "magician". It is a rare item that can unleash an adventurer's potential, with a high probability of directly awakening a spell. Even those with insufficient magic slots can gain an additional magic slot.
Like super-hard metals, magic books also come in different qualities.
The magic book written by Fels is undoubtedly a top-quality book.
Of course, using a magic book also carries risks, just like in a gacha game, where you might get an SSR, a blank card, or even nothing at all.
As we all know, adventurers have a limited number of magic slots. If they are unlucky and awaken something like a fireball or wind blade, it can be quite a blow to a high-potential adventurer.
But who can say for sure? Take Tiona, for example; she might never awaken magic in her lifetime. If she had the chance to learn magic, wouldn't she want even a fireball?
Therefore, spellbooks are definitely a welcome addition to the Astrea Familia at present, as there are still many players who don't have their own magic.
After agreeing on the price, Shaga gave Fels fifty kilograms of super-hard metal as a deposit, and added a "check" of 2 million Fali in exchange for two magic books.
They agreed that over the next month, a total of 10 tons of superhard metal, worth 50 billion, would be delivered to workshops on the outskirts of the city.
Because the materials of the super-hard metals in the maze varied, it was impossible to determine an accurate price. Therefore, Shaga offered a discount and ultimately secured the order for 20 magic books.
Send Fels away.
Shaka casually tossed a "magic book" to Kato Megumi.
"Here is your reward. Before you start reading, you'd better think about what kind of magic you need."
"Of course, generally speaking, magic will awaken according to the reader's own inner will. Preparing anything is useless."
Kato Megumi took the magic book, wiped it gently, and asked, "Um, what else can I exchange my contributions for?"
Xia Jia was also quite troubled: "Most of the work following this order will fall on you, and frankly, I can't offer that kind of 'contribution.' So I can give you two options."
Xia Jia tentatively said, "One is that I can give you the right to permanently exchange contribution points. As long as I can help you with all the items or materials you get, I can help you complete the daily tasks unconditionally."
This choice is an exception, elevating the discussion from a structured company system to the level of a partner. It's equivalent to distributing shares.
Shaga relinquished the development rights to the other world, fully opening up the channels.
For example, with a stamina potion costing 500 Faris, Kato Megumi could start a "Blue Pill" company and earn unimaginable wealth.
Seeing Kato Megumi hesitate, Xia Jia continued:
"Secondly, I will allocate 100 million contribution points to you at once, and you can choose whether to exchange them for wealth or something else."
"Of course, if you want to exchange them all for quotas or everyday world currency, I cannot fully satisfy you for the time being."
One million contribution points is a lot; it can be exchanged for 100 slots, with a total value of approximately 10,000 level 1 ability points. If converted to magic books, it could yield about 10 books, with a total value of around 2 billion falies.
If converted to cash, it would be approximately 3 million.
Similarly, Shadow and Mai Sakurajima, who are also participating in the man-made maze strategy, are also included in this choice.
In other words, Xia Jia would need to pay 10 billion in cash, a sum he cannot afford.
This would be considered a one-time buyout.
They have the freedom to shop, but compared to the former, they seem to be at a disadvantage.
After thinking for a long time, Kato Megumi finally said:
"I want more magic books. So I'll probably choose the second one."
She is a very ordinary girl. Her first choice seems like a huge win with even greater potential for future development, but she doesn't really want to manage any company. Reselling props is also too troublesome.
Compared to that, she needs immediate combat power now.
And when strange things threaten their families, they can step in to protect them.
So she said confidently, "I want 5 magic books, 3 spots, 10 bottles of panacea, a unique weapon, and a four-dimensional pocket. It would be great if I could take it with me to daily life. I'll exchange half of the rest for cash."
Five books? Isn't that too many?
Kato Megumi said confidently, a small flame flickering in her eyes: "Money's no object! If it's not enough, we'll keep going!"
Fine……
Xia Jia silently calculated: "In this way, you will have 100,000 contribution points left, and I will transfer 10 million in cash to you. I will also customize a weapon for you that costs 200 million. You can also make other requests if you have any other needs."
