Douluo Continent II: The Dragon Breaks the Nine Heavens

Chapter 348 I want to make a deal with you worth hundreds of millions!

Xu Jiujiu blushed deeply.

This time she really became famous, not from being slapped, but from genuine embarrassment.

Although she is already in her twenties, she is actually still a virgin. As a doting brother, Xu Jiawei is reluctant to marry off his sister so quickly, and he has rejected all the marriage proposals from nobles in the Star Luo Empire.

Xu Jiujiu herself was the same; apart from enjoying being an auctioneer, she had basically no other hobbies and no men she was interested in.

She's never even been in a relationship...

She's never been in a relationship, so naturally she's not love-struck. It makes perfect sense, no wonder she's been so rational throughout.

Then, this young woman, still a virgin, took off her skirt in front of Lin Yun. Even though she didn't take off her undergarments and didn't actually reveal any parts that shouldn't be exposed, the large expanse of white skin on her shoulders still made her quite embarrassed.

"This princess has suffered a huge loss!" Xu Jiujiu lamented inwardly.

"Alright, turn around now." After putting on her dress, Xu Jiujiu plopped down on the sofa and said irritably.

Lin Yun turned around and saw that he was already dressed, arms crossed, legs crossed, and had been fuming for a long time.

She became famous, and her defenses crumbled.

As for Lin Yun, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all. After all, this benefit was given by Xu Jiujiu herself, and he didn't insist that Xu Jiujiu show it to him. He was the one who benefited, so why should he feel uncomfortable?

He even smiled and sat back down in his original seat, picked up his teacup and took a leisurely sip.

Wuhu~

"I really regret coming to find you myself. It's the worst decision I've ever made." Xu Jiujiu gritted her teeth, glaring at Lin Yun with hatred in her eyes.

That's despicable! How can there be such a despicable person?!

In particular, the feeling of having one's intelligence suppressed and being completely controlled gave Xu Jiujiu a strange pleasure of being offended. He resisted while simultaneously getting carried away, completely unable to control himself.

It seems like they've developed some incredible properties.

"You can't say that. Look how harmonious our conversation is, isn't it? The atmosphere is so relaxed and pleasant!" Lin Yun grinned.

"Are you sure these adjectives you used are appropriate for our previous conversation?" Xu Jiujiu remained expressionless, but her hands, resting on her knees, clenched into small fists.

"Alright, let's leave aside these unimportant topics. I'd like to know, what do you expect from Star Luo in order to provide the help you're talking about?"

When it came to serious matters, Lin Yun abandoned his playful attitude and entered businessman mode.

"It's very simple, just make a deal with me worth several hundred million~" Lin Yun waved his hand, and a dazzling blue starlight flashed by. A large lead box, about 1.5 meters long and 75 centimeters wide and high, was placed in front of Xu Jiujiu.

Lin Yun slightly raised his chin, gesturing to Xu Jiujiu, "Open it and take a look."

Looking at the large lead box in front of her, Xu Jiujiu's eyelids twitched suddenly, and her breathing became somewhat rapid. She had a premonition that the contents of the box were definitely not simple, and were very likely something that could bring great assistance to the Star Luo Empire.

Almost impatiently, I rushed to the box, and after a long while, with trembling hands, I opened the clasp and slowly lifted the lid.

The box was only slightly ajar, and a strong metallic smell, accompanied by an intensely oppressive killing intent, wafted out. The deadly threat made Xu Jiujiu's hair stand on end. Sensing this terrifying aura, Nebula Douluo Manyi, who had just left, disregarded Xu Jiujiu's orders and instantly appeared beside her.

"Your Highness!"

But Xu Jiujiu ignored Manyi, suddenly exerted force on his hand, and opened the lid completely, his eyes fixed on the cylindrical object filled with cushioning material inside the box.

Its beautiful streamlined shape is almost perfectly aerodynamic, minimizing its friction with the air. Its surface also features unique textures exclusive to steel technology, making it even more attractive.

The allure of steel!

"Level 8, fixed-mount soul-guided cannon shell..." Xu Jiujiu's throat was dry, and he managed to utter a few words with difficulty.

Yes, it's a level 8 fixed-position soul-guided shell.

Lin Yun threw all forty-eight level-nine fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells into the undead demiplane. Lin Yun wouldn't take out such a wide-range weapon that was comparable to a critical strike; these were true strategic resources.

Compared to level nine, level eight fixed-position soul-guided shells are also strategic materials, but they are not as important in Lin Yun's eyes.

Selling them to the Star Luo Empire so they can use them for infighting among humans is also a good option, since there are quite a few of these things anyway.

The number of level 8 fixed-position soul-guided artillery shells that Lin Yun obtained from the Sun and Moon Armory was more than ten times that of level 9 shells. There were 48 level 9 fixed-position soul-guided artillery shells, while there were nearly 600 level 8 shells.

This is perfectly normal.

The production difficulty of level 8 fixed-position soul guide cannonballs is much lower than that of level 9. When level 9 soul masters turn around and produce level 8 fixed-position soul guide cannonballs, the ease and safety will be greatly improved. Compared to level 9, level 8 is actually more easily accepted by soul masters.

It's just that half of the soul masters wouldn't do it.

However, for the Sun Moon Empire, a national machine, stockpiling more of this stuff is very necessary. They can't stockpile many level nine ones, but they are desperately stockpiling level eight ones. The six hundred level eight fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells that Lin Yun took away probably won't even cause them serious damage.

At most, it will only cause the Sun Moon Empire a little financial pain.

Converted to resources, the production cost of one level 8 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell is approximately 1.5 level 8 milk bottles. One level 8 milk bottle costs 10 million gold soul coins, so one level 8 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shell costs 15 million gold soul coins.

A transaction worth hundreds of millions means that Lin Yun plans to sell a double-digit number of level-eight fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells to the Star Luo Empire.

"I'll name a price, and you name yours. If the price satisfies me, I'll sell it to you," Lin Yun said with a smile, holding up two fingers.

"I'll sell you a maximum of ninety-nine level-eight fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells, in double digits. Alright, name your price and show me the sincerity of your Star Luo Empire!"

Ninety-nine!

At this moment, both Xu Jiujiu and the Nebula Douluo felt suffocated.

It should be noted that although the Star Luo Empire had purchased Level 8 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells from the Sun Moon Empire through some special channels, the total number did not exceed a single digit. Lin Yun, on the other hand, was able to sell them a maximum of ninety-nine Level 8 fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells!

"Am I dreaming?"
