Chapter 240: Human nature has risks, investment needs to be cautious(1/2)
Li Wuqi took a closer look at the iron ball again. As the seventh prince said, this thing contained very abundant spiritual energy and was pure in texture. Although he didn't know what it was, it was definitely worth a lot of money.
Li Wuqi said: "Then Li will accept it. When we find out what it is, we will inform the Seventh Prince."
The seventh prince smiled and said, "Then I won't disturb General Li."
After that, the two said goodbye to each other.
Li Wuqi continued walking towards the weapon refining workshop.
"General Lee!"
Another prince.
The fourth prince stood at the door of the weapon refining workshop, looking at Li Wuqi with a smile.
Li Wuqi said: "Fourth prince, you are here, what do you want to do?"
The fourth prince said: "I heard that General Li resigned from the post of general guarding the gate."
Li Wuqi nodded: "That's what happened."
The fourth prince said, "I wonder why General Li would do this?"
Li Wuqi walked towards the door and said, "I got interested for a while."
The fourth prince followed him with a smile and said: "General Li, I sometimes discuss with you. I wonder if you have time?"
Li Wuqi stopped and glanced at him: "We don't have much time."
The fourth prince said: "Don't worry, it won't take up too much of your time. Let's find a quiet place."
Li Wuqi had no choice but to take him to the backyard of the weapon refining workshop.
The fourth prince rambled along the way and talked a lot of irrelevant nonsense.
Li Wuqi felt a little upset after hearing this, so he interrupted him and said, "I wonder what the fourth prince wants to discuss with Li?"
The fourth prince chuckled: "It seems that General Li is very anxious..."
Li Wuqi's face turned completely gloomy: "If you keep talking nonsense, don't blame me for being rude."
Hearing that Li Wuqi dared to directly say such rude words, the fourth prince's face suddenly became extremely ugly! After all, he is the fourth prince of the Dalu Dynasty, and he has a noble status. How can he be scolded by such a reckless man?!
However, the man in front of him was no ordinary reckless man, but the most reckless man in Kyushu, and he really did not dare to offend him easily.
Seeing the fourth prince's expression change several times in an instant, Li Wuqi couldn't help but feel a little funny.
There may be something wrong with this kid.
Do you think you care about his prince's identity? You're kidding! With Li Wuqi's current strength, it would be extremely easy to destroy the Da Lu Dynasty and replace it!
Is it possible for me to be respectful to him because of his status?
It was kind enough to give him so much time and let him talk so much nonsense without taking action himself.
Finally, the fourth prince suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "In this case, I will tell you directly, is there any news about the things that I asked General Li to find for me?"
Li Wuqi said bluntly: "What?"
"You!" The fourth prince gritted his teeth, "Let's get some snacks! I asked you to find the Jiuzhou mountain and river seal for me! You have already agreed personally. Once you find it, I will give you one million spiritual stones!"
"Jiuzhou Mountains and Rivers Seal?" Li Wuqi then remembered that he had indeed heard of this thing.
The fourth prince nodded: "Is there any news?"
Li Wuqi said: "I shouldn't have promised you, right?"
At that time, he just said that if the fourth prince gave him one million spirit stones, he could help him look for them first. If he really found them, the reward would be calculated separately.
But from what the fourth prince said, it became clear that as long as Li Wuqi was given one million spiritual stones, he would definitely find the Jiuzhou Mountains and Rivers Seal and send it to him.
The fourth prince frowned: "General Li, is it inappropriate for you to do this? We had already agreed at that time!"
Li Wuqi sneered: "I never promised you, even if I did, what if I regret it now?"
The corner of the fourth prince's mouth twitched, thinking that Li Wuqi had begun to act blatantly rogue! Although he did not agree to it personally at the time, the implication was that he agreed, shouldn't it?
Li Wuqi said: "If it's for this matter, the Fourth Prince doesn't need to worry about it. I don't have time to find things for you. I'm busy."
The fourth prince's face turned gloomy again.
Li Wuqi said: "If nothing happens, Li will leave first."
The fourth prince said: "Wait a minute! Let's not mention the Jiuzhou mountain and river seal for now! I want to get something from General Li, so naturally I won't take General Li for nothing. The reward is very generous."
Li Wuqi asked: "What?"
The fourth prince put his hands behind his back and said while strolling in the backyard: "I heard that General Li has developed a cannon called the Spirit Fire Cannon. It is very powerful and is equivalent to a full blow from a reincarnation realm master!"
Li Wuqi looked at him: "What's wrong?"
The fourth prince held out five fingers and said: "One gate of five hundred thousand spiritual stones! I want one hundred gates!"
After hearing this, Li Wuqi couldn't help but want to laugh! Could it be that this kid hasn't woken up yet? Since he also knew that the power of the spiritual fire cannon was equivalent to that of a reincarnation master, how could he have the nerve to offer the price of 500,000 spiritual stones?
?Half a million spiritual stones, you want to invite a master of the reincarnation realm?!
After Li Wuqi's upgrade and improvement, the production cost and process of the cannon are not complicated, but this is only compared to the first version. In fact, a spiritual fire cannon also requires a lot of manpower and financial resources, and the cost is also 100,000 spiritual stones.
If you really want to sell it, it will cost at least one million pieces each!
Moreover, even if the Fourth Prince gives a suitable price, Li Wuqi does not have so many spiritual fire cannons in his hands now - there is only one Blood Hate Pass at present!
To build one hundred doors, it would take three to five years to complete.
To put it bluntly, even if Li Wuqi had enough cannons and the price of the Fourth Prince was higher, the business would still not be successful.
Li Wuqi is willing to popularize the spiritual fire cannon because it will become a powerful counterattack weapon for the human race.
But he couldn't leave this cannon in the hands of the fourth prince.
Li Wuqi didn't know very well what kind of person the fourth prince was, but he was probably not a good person. What was he going to do with these hundred cannons? Li Wuqi didn't know either.
Li Wuqi said: "No, no need to talk, the fourth prince please come back."
However, the fourth prince still did not give up and asked: "Why not? Is there a problem with the labor or the materials? General Li can tell me and I will solve it for General Li."
Li Wuqi frowned and said, "What does the fourth prince want to do with this cannon?"
A trace of cruelty flashed in the eyes of the fourth prince, but he said: "Of course it is used for fighting! There have always been some rebels in the Daru Dynasty, and they cannot be eliminated no matter what. If this cannon helps, they will be able to eradicate them!"
Li Wuqi said: "This cannon was developed to defend against the wild demonic realm. It must not be used against humans."
The fourth prince chuckled: "General Li, no matter how powerful your spiritual fire cannon is, it is just a weapon. The function of a weapon is to win the war, no matter what kind of war it is..."
Li Wuqi said: "When the Spiritual Fire Cannon is used on the battlefield of the human race, the damage caused is unimaginable."
The fourth prince said: "General Li doesn't need to worry about it. If you don't have a ready-made spiritual fire cannon, then just give me the blueprint and I will arrange for the manpower to make it myself."
Li Wuqi was speechless: "Are you dreaming? You still want me to hand over the drawings to you..."
The fourth prince didn't realize that Li Wuqi was impatient, and was still talking to himself: "I bid 10 million spirit stones! As long as General Li hands over the blueprint of the spirit fire cannon to me, I will make the arrangements myself.
Is it okay to make it by hand?"
"Ten million spirit stones?" Li Wuqi couldn't help laughing, "One hundred spirit fire cannons are enough to level the land of Kyushu. Do you think this thing is worth ten million spirit stones?"
The fourth prince gritted his teeth and seemed to have made up his mind: "Then please tell me the number, General Li! As long as you ask, no matter how much it is, I will never bargain!"
His abacus was very loud. As long as he got the blueprint of the spiritual fire cannon and built a hundred spiritual fire cannons, he would be able to hold the throne of the Daru Dynasty tightly. By then, the entire Kyushu would be his.
In the world, no matter how much you give out now, you will definitely make a profit without losing it!
Li Wuqi didn't care what he was thinking. Anyway, he would never hand over the spiritual fire cannon to such a person.
So he said: "Save it for yourself, I am not a businessman and I don't want to discuss business with you."
The fourth prince still refused to give up: "General Li! As long as you give me the blueprint, I will give you half of the country in Kyushu. How about that?"
Li Wuqi snorted coldly: "Not to mention whether the country in Kyushu is yours now, even if it is, what use do I need your country?"
The fourth prince seemed to be planning to say something else, so Li Wuqi waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, okay, there is no room for negotiation on this matter."
Seeing Li Wuqi's resolute attitude, the fourth prince let out a long sigh: "General Li, you really chill me. I have put so much effort into you, but until today, you have never repaid me even half a cent!"
Li Wuqi smiled: "Human nature has risks, and investment needs to be cautious."
"Oh! I'm so sorry!" The fourth prince sighed again, and Li Wuqi couldn't listen anymore. Since the fourth prince refused to leave, he would leave on his own.
"General Li!" The fourth prince stopped him again and said, "You'd better remember what you said! Since you are unwilling to hand over the spiritual fire cannon to me, then don't give it to my seventh brother! Otherwise,
, the friendship between us is completely gone.”
"That's ridiculous! What kind of friendship do I have with you?"
Li Wuqi left without looking back, feeling that staying with him for another second would be a waste of time.
Only the fourth prince was left standing in the small courtyard with a gloomy expression.
"Li Wuqi! Do you think there's nothing I can do if you don't give it to me? I don't believe that there is no ventilation gap in your blood-hate barrier!"
…
Li Wuqi returned to the weapon refining workshop and studied for a while.
