From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

Chapter 102 Astronomical Quenching Contract
In the future, more and more abyss demons will appear on the blue planet.

Human living space will continue to shrink.

By the third year of the abyss invasion, humans will gradually build base cities and erect high walls to resist demons.

Lu Heng now wants to buy a house with better security so that his parents can move in and avoid being disturbed by irrelevant people.

Because we know that a base city will be built in Binhai in the future, if we buy a house now, we can directly buy it in the base city area.

However, in that case, the price will be very high.

Lu Heng took out all the crystal cores he had on hand and counted them, preparing to pool them together to pay for the house first.

In addition to ordinary energy crystal cores, there are also several unused skill crystal cores.

The first one is the D-level [Corrosive Slime], dropped by the Abyss Woodlice.

The second one is the C-level [Woodlouse Shell], dropped by the Abyss Woodlouse Queen.

The third one is the C-level [Blood Shadow Arm Blade], dropped by the Blood Shadow Demon.

The fourth one is the C-level [Exoskeleton Armor], dropped by the Corpse Bird.

The fifth one is the C-level [Bloodsucking Healing], dropped by the Blood Sword Demon.

It's a pity that the Blood Sword Demon released the C-level [Bloodsucking Healing], not the B-level [Violent Wind Stabs], otherwise the price of one would be equal to the sum of the other four.

There are five skill crystal cores in total, except for [Corrosive Slime], all others are C-level.

Except for a few unusual ones, the skill effects of these skill crystal cores are actually quite good.

Moreover, these are all skills that can be learned by combat-type psychics, so if they are sold, the price will not be low.

The total price of the five skill crystal cores should be more than 1500 million, which should be enough to buy a house.

After Lu Heng finished the list, he collected all the crystal cores and prepared to sell this batch of skill crystal cores.

In fact, it can be sold on the Crystal Core Dark Web.

However, this way of selling is relatively slow and the transaction process is also troublesome.

Therefore, Lu Heng planned to ask Lin Zeyu to help.

The major forces all have their own trading channels, so selling crystal cores will be more convenient.

In the afternoon.

Lin Zeyu received the call and came to Jinxiu Yujing. As the landlord, he did not have the key, so he could only knock on the door.

After entering the door, he started calling to order food, preparing to have a big meal here.

"Every time you come to me to order food." Lu Heng complained.

"You have to sit and eat properly at home. It's too uncomfortable. It's better here." Lin Zeyu lay down on the sofa, squirmed comfortably, and assumed the most comfortable posture.

Lu Heng took out the five skill crystal cores, placed them on the coffee table, and said, "Take them and help me sell them."

Lin Zeyu sat up, picked up the five crystal cores and examined them, commenting: "They are all very good crystal cores, why are you selling them?"

Lu Heng replied: "Some people have started to harass my parents in Taoyuan. I am going to buy a house and let them move there."

"Who is harassing my uncle and aunt? Tell me and I'll find someone to punish him!" Lin Zeyu looked like he was going to stand up for his brother.

"Chunshang Group." Lu Heng said.

"spring……"

Lin Zeyu lay back down, spread his hands and said, "This can't be done. There is a multinational consortium behind them. I'd better help you sell the crystal cores. How much do you plan to sell these for?"

"1500 million, that should be the price." The price Lu Heng offered was not too exaggerated, and the current market price was probably around this price.

"The price is not high. I estimate that it should be able to sell for 1800 million." Lin Zeyu often pays attention to the crystal core market, looking for crystal cores suitable for his own use, so he has a better understanding of the prices.

"The extra amount will be your commission." Lu Heng

If it is broken down and sold slowly according to the strength of each skill, it can indeed be sold for 1800 million, or even more.

Of course, retail and wholesale prices are not the same.

"Okay, I'll transfer the money to you directly." Lin Zeyu felt that Lu Heng should want to get the money as soon as possible, so he decided to advance the money first.

"Okay." Lu Heng did not refuse.

"The amount is quite large. I will ask the finance department to handle it tomorrow."

Lin Zeyu took out his cell phone and called the group's financial director. After the call, he turned around and asked, "By the way, do you need help buying a house? I can ask someone to find a house and get houses that are not available through other channels."

"Okay, then help me find a house near Mingqiong District with better security." Lu Heng said.

"Why not live in Blue Ocean International? Then we can be neighbors." Lin Zeyu suggested.

"Your house is so expensive." Lu Heng complained.

"I'll pay for you as long as you're willing to move in." Lin Zeyu promised solemnly.

"Forget it. The terrain where you are is a bit low. If a sea demon appears one day, it will spit out water and flood the place." Because Lu Heng had the experience of rebirth, he knew that Blue Ocean International would not be very safe in the future.

Lin Zeyu's eyes widened, and he keenly caught the key point in this sentence. He jumped up from the sofa and asked, "You mean, Blue Ocean International will not be safe in the future."

Lu Heng quickly corrected: "I do feel unsafe, but I don't know anything."

"No no no..."

Lin Zeyu's eyes began to shine: "Nothing you said will not come true. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have realized that Blue Ocean International is indeed low-lying. If a monster like Godzilla really appeared, it would spit out water and flood the place.

"No, I also have to buy another safer house in Mingqiong District. If you want to buy one in Mingqiong District, then I will buy one there too.

"Forget it, just buy a few more. The price will definitely go up in the future."

After hearing what he said, Lu Heng swallowed his saliva and thought to himself: You deserve to be rich, your sense of smell is too sensitive.

Lin Zeyu lay on the sofa for a while, and suddenly remembered something. He took out an invitation letter, handed it to Lu Heng, and asked, "Do you want to attend this?"

Lu Heng took it and looked at it, and was stunned for a moment, because this was an invitation to the Supreme Crystal Core Auction: "You have this too?"

"Have you received the invitation?" Lin Zeyu asked curiously.

"Not really. It was given to me by Chunshang Group. They said they would pay for the expenses at the auction."

"Fuck! There is such a good thing, why don't they pay for me? I can buy them until they go bankrupt."

Lin Zeyu complained, his eyes suddenly widened, then he started to have other thoughts, and chuckled: "Did you receive the invitation letter they gave you?" Even a fool could see that Chunshang Group wanted to win over Lu Heng.

As long as Lu Heng accepts the benefits this time, he will be easier to talk to in the future.

Lin Zeyu's current quenching business depends entirely on Lu Heng.

If Lu Heng was poached by Chunshang Group, he would cry his heart out.

"No." Lu Heng replied.

Lin Zeyu slapped the coffee table and decided, "Good brother, you are so loyal. Let's go together with this invitation, and I will pay for all the photos."

"Forget it, I won't go. You go by yourself. I still have things to do." Lu Heng shook his head and refused, not planning to attend the auction.

Because I had to save up for buying a house, I didn't have any extra funds to attend the auction.

If I go, Lin Zeyu will have to pay for everything, which is not so good.

Moreover, Lu Heng did have things to do.

When he killed the Blood Sword Demon, he obtained the B-grade Scarlet Blood Sword.

This sword can be used as weapon forging material, so Lu Heng prepared to reforge the Aurora Blade.

However, Lu Heng had no forging experience, so he had to go to Quenching Castle to talk to Guru.

……

The next evening.

When Lu Heng was about to go out, someone came to visit. When he opened the door, he saw it was Pu Lizhi from Chunshang Group.

As soon as Pu Lizhi saw Lu Heng, he bowed respectfully at a 90-degree angle: "Hello, Mr. Lu, I apologize for disturbing you."

Although Lu Heng didn't have a good impression of Chunshang Group, Pulizhi's attitude was too respectful. He even bowed at a 90-degree angle. It was really not easy to be too harsh to him.

"What's the matter?"

Pu Lizhi took out a contract from his briefcase, handed it to Lu Heng, and said, "This is a quenching service support contract. Chunshang Group hopes to be the agent for Mr. Lu's quenching business.

“Chunshang Group guarantees that it will not take any commission, and this clause has been written into the contract.

“Also, Chunshang Group will give Mr. Lu a guaranteed contract of 100 million yuan, and it is 100 million yuan per year. If this number is not reached, Chunshang Group will pay the full 100 million yuan out of its own pocket.

“Moreover, we can prepay the one-year guaranteed contract payment. As long as Mr. Lu agrees, the money will be credited to his account tomorrow.

"If Mr. Lu is still dissatisfied, he can also meet with the president of Chunshang Group's Asia Pacific region to discuss in detail."

After hearing the conditions offered by Chunshang Group, Lu Heng was a little surprised.

Although they are competitors, it has to be said that the Chunshang Group is indeed willing to spend money.

The annual guarantee is 100 million, and one year's payment can be paid in advance.

If it weren’t for the grudge between Lu Heng and Chunshang Group, he would have agreed.

However, there was one question that Lu Heng didn't understand.

How did Chunshang Group know that I was a tempering master?
……

You will know the answer to this question when you arrive at the No. 9 tunnel of Century Bridge.

Under the tunnel of Century Bridge, a man was waiting in the tunnel, obviously wanting to enter the Quenching Fort.

When Lu Heng approached, he recognized who this person was.

Hu Biao was a psychic who had helped Quenching Fort escape from the abyss in the abyss battlefield.

strictly speaking.

Hu Biao also participated in the mission of helping Quenching Fort escape from the abyss. He completed the task of digging for combustion-supporting ore.

Relatively speaking, the tasks he completed were simpler, so his contribution to Quenching Fort was not as high as Lu Heng's.

Furthermore, he did not participate in the final battle to stop the Horned Demon Overlord.

Therefore, his reputation in Quenching Castle is not particularly high.

Of course, although his rank was not high, he did know Gollum, and he was also someone who had helped Quenching Castle.

If Gollum knew that he was outside asking for a meeting, he might open the door to see him.

Seeing Hu Biao here, Lu Heng has figured out some things.

Lu Heng walked over and said, "Did Chunshang Group ask you to come?"

Hu Biao turned his head and saw that it was Lu Heng. His expression froze for a moment and he mumbled, "I..."

"There's no point in lying about such a small matter," Lu Heng said.

Hu Biao nodded and admitted: "Chunshang Group gave me an offer that I couldn't refuse."

Lu Heng thought for a moment and asked, "So, you told Chunshang Group what happened in the Abyss Battlefield."

Hu Biao scratched his head and replied, "Not all of them."

Lu Heng guessed, "At least Chunshang Group already knows about the existence of Quenching Fort, and asked you to come here to explore the way, hoping to enter Quenching Fort, right?"

Hu Biao nodded and admitted, "I'm not as capable as you, but I also want to get resources. I have helped Master Guru, although my contribution is not as much as yours. Now I use this little relationship to exchange for a reward. Isn't this too much?"

In fact, the existence of the Quenching Fort will sooner or later be known to other psychics, and it will not be hidden for long.

Moreover, more and more people with special abilities will be able to enter the Quenching Fort in the future.

This cannot be prevented.

If Hu Biao didn't get this benefit, it would be some other psychic who would get it.

Lu Heng thought for a moment and said, "Have you received all the benefits given by Chunshang Group?"

Hu Biao nodded and replied, "I took half."

Lu Heng said, "Then go back and ask them for the other half of the benefits. Then tell them not to waste their energy. With my relationship with Quenching Castle, no one can poach me."

After saying that, Lu Heng walked towards the bridge hole, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the wall of the bridge hole.

Hu Biao's eyes widened. When he walked up and reached out to touch the wall, he could only touch a cold concrete wall.
