Although Lieutenant General Anderson had considered the possibility of Tiria asking for an exorbitant price, the amount she asked for still exceeded his expectations.
Five hundred thousand tons of Zero element!
If it was five tons, Lieutenant General Anderson might have considered it, but five hundred thousand … .that was impossible!
Zero element was currently the rarest, most expensive, and most indispensable element in the universe. In terms of star coins, one gram of Zero element was worth tens of thousands of star coins.
The reason was simple. Zero element was the most important and indispensable raw material for the development of technology in all civilizations, but this raw material was very rare. Sometimes, only a small amount of Zero element could be found on a single planet in a galaxy. Because of this, every civilization valued Zero element very much.
Anderson was only a Lieutenant General. He did not know how many Zero elements there were in Intergalactic Alliance, but it was impossible for there to be five hundred thousand tons ….
"How much can you give me?"
Tiria did not change her expression at all in the face of Anderson's roar. She was still staring at the black uncle in front of her with a smile. In fact, the reason why she was asking for such an exorbitant price was because Fangzheng had given her an order before she left. That was — the resources for support plan!
It must be known that in order to fight against the Reapers, Fangzheng had sent out ten full-fledged fleets in one go, and these fleets all consumed resources to maintain. And now, Fangzheng's Dimensional Points were not replenished. It could be said that the more he used, the less he would have. Fangzheng definitely needed to find a new source of Dimensional Points to exchange for. Fortunately, he really found it!
The Zero element in this world was the same as the spirit crystals in the main world. They could satisfy Fangzheng's requirement for Dimension Points!
What happened next was simple. Zero element was indeed very scarce, but was this a problem for Fangzheng?
If they couldn't find it themselves, they could always get it from others.
Of course, as a Lawful Good Paladin, Fangzheng could not rob them, but there should always be a reward for the Good Samaritan. This was not extortion. This was to promote social morality, maintain social order, and promote justice!
Otherwise, the Good Samaritans would sacrifice so much without any compensation. How could this be justified? A Lawful Good Paladin would never sit idly by and watch this kind of evil trend grow!
It is everyone's responsibility to promote justice, starting with me!
Besides, is 500,000 tons a lot? Fangzheng had already used the "Unfinished Works" to investigate and found out that the entire Starlink Alliance had one million tons of Element Zero in their inventory! It was already very kind of him to only ask for half!
Originally, Fangzheng had intended to take all of them, but after thinking about it, he felt that it would be troublesome if Starlink suspected how he knew the detailed inventory numbers. After all, the Zero Element was a relatively high-end strategic resource. The number of Zero Elements in stock was a secret to the various powers.
Thus, after much consideration, Fangzheng reluctantly reduced the price by half. First of all, Interstellar Alliance was also a human, so he had to give them some face and give them a discount. Secondly, Interstellar Alliance had entered the universe relatively late, so the amount of Zero Element they had collected was actually not that much. Even if they wanted to make an exorbitant demand, they should look for the races that had entered the universe earlier and collected more zero elements.
For example, Ashali the Smurf or something like that.
"About that … .fifty kilograms …."
Fortunately, Anderson was a Lieutenant General, so he more or less knew a little about this. He knew that there was a warehouse near the Interstellar Alliance headquarters that specialized in storing Zero Elements. Of course, logically speaking, he had no right to interfere with such resources, but what era was it now? The entire Interstellar Alliance headquarters had been destroyed, so why would Anderson care about that?
Forget about Interstellar Alliance, the entire human race was probably doomed. There was no point in keeping the Zero Element. If he didn't use it now, was he going to keep it for the new year?
"Fifty kilograms … .then, we can only help you subdue this city."
Hearing Anderson's answer, Tiria pondered for a moment before giving her answer. After hearing Tiria's answer, the corner of Andrewson's mouth twitched.
Subdue this city? Don't you see how many Undead Troopers and Reapers there are in this city?
"If you can help us reclaim this city, of course we'll reward you."
Anderson was a soldier, but he was not a fool. So, when he spoke, he also added a condition. After all, it was fine for the other party to demand an exorbitant price, but at the very least, they had to show that they were strong enough. If this strange Heavenly Palace could really help them reclaim this city, then not just fifty kilograms of Zero element, he could even get fifty tons of it!
Of course, five hundred thousand tons … .would depend on the situation.
"That's not a problem," Tiria agreed without hesitation.
Tiria agreed without hesitation. But soon, she revealed a smile again.
"Then … .we need to build a base here. Is that okay with you?"
"Of course!"
This time, Anderson nodded without hesitation. After all, it was normal to have a base. Besides, if the Tendo Temple built a base here, it meant that they could also set up camp here. At least … .they could find a place to live!
However, what Anderson did not notice was that after hearing his answer, the girls standing not far away showed a look of despair.
"It's over. This old man doesn't know what he said at all."
Ying Lili helplessly put her hand on her forehead and sighed, while the black cat shrugged its shoulders.
"Stupid humans … .they don't know what kind of decision they've made …."
"Huhuhu …."
Kuang San just stood not far away with a smile on his face. He did not say a word.
"In that case, time is of the essence. Let's start now."
After hearing Anderson's answer, Leia's smile became even brighter. She turned around and whistled. Anderson and Shepard saw the strange monster's mouth wriggling again. Then, a tall, strange-looking insect queen walked out of it!
"What kind of monster is this?!"
Anderson, Shepard and the other soldiers were shocked to see the insect queen in front of them. They raised their guns and aimed at the insect queen. Leia stood at the side and looked at them with a smile.
"Just like the Star Alliance, the Heavenly Dao Palace also has specialized combat units. These insects are Big Brother's most powerful warriors. As long as they are around, mere Reapers will not be a problem at all …"
Tiriya turned to the Bug Queen.
"You know what to do, right?"
"Of course … .hiss …."
Hearing Leia's order, the insect queen nodded.
"Insect swarm … .obeys the Lord's order … .annihilate … .the enemy …!!"
Following the insect queen's answer, the magenta carpet of 'Creep' began to spread at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, various kinds of insect creatures poured out of the wormhole like a flood. The strange-shaped worker bees immediately hatched into various buildings, while the Hydralisks and Zerglings turned into a tide and covered every area in all directions.
"This … .this is …."
Anderson and Sheppard felt their scalps go numb when they saw the army of Zergs in front of them. They saw with their own eyes a Zerg hatching at a speed completely unimaginable to them and turning into a tall monster of flesh and blood. Then, a bunch of larvae poured out of the holes around the monster. These larvae quickly hatched into worker bees after they appeared, then found their respective positions and began the transformation again ….
Shepard finally understood why Fangzheng said that this was Pandora's Box when he gave it to her …. She thought it was a joke at the time!
"Reporting!"
Just as everyone was dumbfounded, a soldier stumbled into the room.
"The Corpse Troopers and Reapers have appeared again!"
"I got it!!"
Anderson nodded and looked at Leia.
"Miss Leia, then …."
"Of course, since we've decided to cooperate, leave the rest to us," said Leia as she snapped her fingers.
As she spoke, she snapped her fingers. At the same time, the Bug Queen lifted her head, looked ahead, and gave an order.
"Insect swarm … attack!"
