Fire Dragon Millennial Flames (1)
A model of a spaceship was placed in an inconspicuous corner of this shopping mall. It had a cool appearance that resembled a soaring eagle, and its trititanium alloy body was glowing with a mysterious and gloomy luster.
"This is a rank 3 frigate class warship." Phantom disapproved. "A frigate is the second smallest warship in the universe, and it can't even be put on the table. If you want to travel in the dangerous universe, you will need a cruiser at the very least. Of course, it would be even better if it was a heavy-assault cruiser."
Xia Fei involuntarily walked over and muttered, "This spaceship is really beautiful. I wonder how much it costs?"
"This thing costs at least 80 million star coins."
Xia Fei pouted. 80 million wasn't a small amount, and he was still far from owning his own spaceship with his current strength.
"One day, I will have my own space warship!" Xia Fei boldly declared.
"You will need to be at least Star Domain rank to purchase a frigate class warship. 80 million is just the price of a bare spaceship. If you buy a spaceship, you will need to equip it with a weapon system and install a navigation system, right? Don't even think about playing around with a spaceship without 200 million." Phantom bluntly attacked Xia Fei.
Xia Fei swallowed his saliva and reluctantly left the shopping mall.
Once he reached the medicinal ingredients market, Phantom's old habit of spending money flared up again. He bought two sets of concocting tools and even used one as a backup.
As for medicinal ingredients, he bought whatever he saw, and he actually spent 8.7 million star coins after paying the bill.
"You have a conscience this time and even left me some money." Xia Fei painfully took out his credit card to pay the bill.
Not far ahead was a very unique shop. This shop didn't have any neon lights, and there weren't any voluptuous ladies standing in front of the door to welcome customers. The interior was simple and unadorned, and it looked very different in this bustling virtual business district.
"Come, let's go in and take a look." Phantom pulled Xia Fei in without hesitation.
The shop was empty, and there were less than 20 counters. Each counter only displayed one thing.
A strange red plant was very eye-catching. Its fiery red color and wild appearance were like fireworks in the sky, bright and resplendent.
"This thing is quite interesting." Xia Fei casually said.
"Not bad, not bad at all." It was very rare for Gui Ying to actually praise the things in this shop. When he was buying the medicinal ingredients earlier, he kept saying that they were of no grade and that the medicinal effects were too poor.
There was a display screen below the fiery red plant. There was a row of numbers on the screen. It was the price of the plant.
Xia Fei counted. "One, two, three, four, five, six!"
"Six zeros. Nine million! "Xia Fei found it hard to believe. Though the plant was good, there was no way it was worth that much money!
That was when Phantom smiled at Xia Fei, and when Xia Fei saw Phantom's smiling face, he suddenly felt a sense of nervousness.
"This is it. Buy it."
Andre's house wasn't in Manhattan, but on Staten Island in the south, which could only be reached by ferry.
The huge manor was surrounded by bodyguards in suits and leather shoes. Clearly, Andre was very concerned about the Blacksnake Gang's bounty.
Andre and Wu Long had already come out to welcome them. Beside them stood a thirteen or fourteen-year-old youth. He had curly brown hair, a pair of glasses on his nose, and his face was dotted with freckles.
"Welcome, my dear friend." Andre courteously greeted.
After exchanging pleasantries, Xia Fei asked, "This is?"
"Oh, this is my youngest grandson, Charlie. Ever since my wife passed away, Charlie would often come over to accompany me and learn some investment and financial management skills from me."
"Learning finance at such a young age!" Xia Fei was rather emotional. "No wonder the Rothschild Family has been financial elites for generations. It seems like it has something to do with their family style."
Charlie appeared to be very shy. He politely greeted Xia Fei, and the group walked straight into the dining hall.
Xia Fei hadn't eaten much other than breakfast the entire day. Therefore, he didn't hold back as he gobbled down the food. He finished four lobsters, and as for the veal, the tomato sauce soup was nothing to him.
Wu Long had a big build and a big appetite, so Charlie and Andre only ate a little. The two of them smiled as they watched Wu Long and Xia Fei gobble down the food.
Xia Fei was rather satisfied as he wiped his mouth with a napkin. "I've been exercising a lot recently, so my appetite is also big. I've embarrassed myself in front of you."
Andre waved his hand and didn't think much of it.
Wu Long burped and said, "Wow, you actually ate more than me with that small body of yours. No wonder you're so fast."
Everyone burst into laughter.
Rich people also had a lot of rules. They couldn't talk at the dining table and had to go to the smoking room.
Andre sent Charlie upstairs to read a book, and the three of them came to the smoking room and sat across from each other.
Andre took out an exquisite box of cigars from the kitchen. Just by looking at the walnut wood box and the exquisite gold decoration, one could tell that this box of cigars was definitely worth a lot of money.
"Try one. It's the best handmade Cuban cigar. Every cigar is made from the chest of a virgin." Andre passed the box of cigars to Xia Fei and said.
Xia Fei chuckled and took out a box of crumpled cheap Hongtashan cigars from his pocket. "You guys know that I …"
Before he could finish, Wu Long and Andre said in unison, "We know that you only smoke Hongtashan."
"I really don't understand. You're so young and rich, so why do you like to smoke this stuff? This kind of smoke is too pungent. It's like eating gunpowder in your lungs. Don't even mention how uncomfortable it is." Wu Long lit the cigar and said.
Xia Fei picked up a cigarette and lit it for himself. "I can't help it. I've gotten used to it after so many years, and I can't change it even if I want to."
The three of them smoked, and in just a short while, the room was filled with smoke.
"Our family's temporary meeting has already decided that the controllable nuclear fusion power plant will be jointly funded by us. First, we will build an experimental power plant in North America. The location of the plant will be our family's land in Kansas. If this power plant is successful, the energy problem of the entire Americas region will be completely solved." Andre said.
A power plant to solve the energy problem of the entire Americas region! It could be seen how huge the potential of a controllable nuclear fusion power plant was.
"According to the plan, we still need to build three more power plants in East Asia, North Africa, and Australia. When these four power plants are completed, the entire Earth's energy source will enter a new era of safe and clean electricity." Andre was extremely excited as he sketched out a beautiful blueprint for Earth's future.
"You will invest 4 million star coins into the new company, and our Rothschild Family will invest 80 billion federal dollars into it. As for the shares, we will each take 50%."
Xia Fei waved his hand. "You've calculated wrongly. 80 billion federal dollars can be exchanged for 8 million star coins. According to the ratio, you should take 70% while I take 30%."
Andre laughed heartily. "Our Rothschild Family will never calculate wrongly. According to the exchange rate, our investment is indeed larger, but we need to have a place to exchange the money. You don't have to push it away. 50% of the shares is a decision made by the entire family, and everyone has agreed to it."
Xia Fei stubbornly refused. After a series of excuses, it was decided that the Rothschild Family would take 60% of the shares while Xia Fei would take 40%.
Xia Fei took a sip of red wine and said, "I don't have that much money on hand right now. It might take another two days for it to arrive."
Andre was a little doubtful. "The day before yesterday, you still had over 11 million star coins in your account. Could you have exchanged it with someone else?"
Xia Fei helplessly let out a bitter laugh. "That was the day before yesterday. I have spent it all this afternoon."
"Over 10 million star coins! You have spent it all in the afternoon!! "Andre nearly stood up from his chair.
Over 10 million star coins was equivalent to over 100 billion federal dollars! An ordinary person wouldn't be able to spend it all even if they had a hundred lifetimes!
Wu Long rubbed his massive bald head. "Oh my god, what did you buy to spend so much money?"
"A flower."
"A flower!!!"
Wu Long and Andre were speechless. They had seen people burning money, but they had never seen someone burning it like Xia Fei. Spending 10 million star coins to buy a flower? This world was truly crazy!
"I still have to hurry up and earn money. Based on Phantom's current spending speed, he would even be able to spend a mountain of gold." Xia Fei took a puff of his cigarette and thought about the Fire Dragon Millennial Flames that made his heart ache, as well as his pitiful account balance.
"I only have over 1 million star coins on hand now. I will transfer the remaining amount to you after a few days when I have the money."
Andre nodded, stood up, and made a call. Soon, two burly men wearing sunglasses walked into the smoking room with an aluminum alloy safe in their hands.
Andre nodded slightly. The two bodyguards unlocked his handcuffs and handed the safe to Xia Fei along with an exquisite small key.
"What is this?" Xia Fei took the safe and placed it on his knees as he asked with doubt.
Andre waved his hand and sent the two bodyguards away before saying, "This is the Golden Stinger. Our family has decided to gift it to you. As a lifelong friend of the Rothschild Family, we hope that you can accept it."
"Golden Stinger!"
Xia Fei opened the layers of safety and held the beautiful and extraordinary Golden Stinger in his hand. The texture was excellent, and it was neither light nor heavy. Xia Fei tried swinging it a few times and felt as though it had fused with his fist. He couldn't feel its existence at all.
"This gift is too valuable. I can't accept it." Xia Fei placed the Golden Stinger back into the safe and said.
"Are you trying to reject our Rothschild Family's friendship?" Andre knitted his eyebrows and asked.
"This friendship is truly heavy. Since that is the case, I shall accept it." Xia Fei closed the safe and gently placed it on the floor.
"Right now, I am officially inviting the two of you to join the exploration of Atlantis. According to the information we have, we are confident that we can find the greatest miracle in human history and unveil the mysterious veil that has been covering Atlantis for tens of thousands of years." Andre slowly said.
Wu Long nodded and expressed his willingness to join.
"I am also very willing to join this project. Where exactly is Atlantis?" Xia Fei asked with excitement.
