After that, Ju Fei and Ju Niao left.
Liu Chen told Chen Xiaobei, who had 'just woken up', what had just happened.
Chen Xiaobei had no choice but to put on his best acting skills and finish the story with Liu Chen.
"Oh, right. Let's exchange numbers so that we can contact each other in the future."
Chen Xiaobei quickly changed the topic. He did not want to be pestered by her anymore.
But Liu Chen continued to pester him. "Do you have an intergalactic phone?"
"Of course!"
Chen Xiaobei took out the Dami-17 that Ju Niao had given him. "The military gave it to me. I haven't had the time to open it yet!"
"This … This is Dami-17?!" Liu Chen looked at him in shock.
"What's wrong?" Chen Xiaobei frowned. Something was not right.
"You liar! The military gave us Dami-16! It has no anti-theft function! "Liu Chen hissed." Tell me the truth! Why did you lie to us?! "
"I …" Chen Xiaobei started to sweat. Ju Niao was such an idiot. Why did he not tell me when he gave me the phone?
Chen Xiaobei turned to Ning Yuchen for help.
After understanding Ning Yuchen and Liu Chen's personalities, Chen Xiaobei knew that Ning Yuchen had a reason to deal with Liu Chen.
"Do you even need to ask?"
Ning Yuchen immediately said, "Zhufeng must have asked the Star Temple's elder to help him buy it! He didn't want to stand out so he said it was from the military! "
"Really?" Liu Chen asked.
"Really! Of course it's true! "Chen Xiaobei breathed a sigh of relief. He really needed to rely on Ning Yuchen to deal with Liu Chen.
Intergalactic shopping! Are you afraid of that?!
This was the first time Chen Xiaobei learned that he could ask the Star Temple Elder to help him buy things from the universe.
It seemed like this intergalactic phone could be used on earth too. No wonder the news of Atlantis had reached Northern Wilderness Starfield so quickly.
"Zhufeng! I have to reprimand you! We're all so familiar with each other. Why do you have to be so secretive? "Ning Yuchen smiled." Tell me the truth. Did you spend a lot of Spiritual Stones to buy it? "
"Huh? Do I have to spend Spiritual Stones to buy this phone? "Chen Xiaobei was taken aback. He had accidentally let the cat out of the bag again.
"Don't you know that you have to spend Spiritual Stones to hire a buyer?" Liu Chen asked immediately.
This time, Chen Xiaobei did not need Ning Yuchen's help. "Erm … My family back on earth has full authority to handle all my matters. They helped me settle everything in advance. I really didn't ask about the phone …"
Liu Chen nodded. She believed him.
To be sent to Northern Wilderness Starfield, one must have a demigod's recommendation!
Apart from peerless geniuses, only second generations with terrifying backgrounds would have the opportunity to be recommended.
In Liu Chen's eyes, Chen Xiaobei's cultivation was so low that he must have the support of a powerful family. He would not even bat an eyelid when buying a Dami 17.
"Alright! The misunderstanding has been cleared up. Hurry up and leave your number! "Ning Yuchen smiled.
Then, everyone started to exchange numbers with Chen.
"How many Spiritual Stones does this phone cost?" asked Chen Xiaobei curiously.
"Yours is the latest model. It costs 998 low-grade Spiritual Stones!" Ning Yuchen said.
"Wow! Seriously?! How can a broken phone cost so much?! "Chen was stunned. He could not believe what he heard.
Back on earth, it was not easy to earn 998 Spiritual Stones! Here, it was only enough to buy a crappy phone! How infuriating!
"That's normal! You have to know that this is not earth!
The Northern Wilderness soldiers don't work, and the unemployed are despised by the natives. That's why they are not allowed to participate in high-end production!
That means that the workers who make these phones are all nobles! Their wages are calculated using Spiritual Stones. Their monthly salary starts at 5,000 low-grade Spiritual Stones! The cost of labor is sky-high! "
Chen was stunned again. "What the f * ck! 5,000 Spiritual Stones a month, and that's the starting price! I'll just go work! "
"That's not a big deal."
Ning Yuchen shook his head. "What's really expensive is the cost of logistics. Take the raw materials used to make the phone for example!
Metal, glass, plastic. These things are not as easy to get as they are on earth. They have to go through a very troublesome interstellar transportation to get to the factory!
For example, the copper mine used to make the parts is on Heizi Star, and the silicon mine used to make the glass is on Cerulean Planet. The fuel consumption of the spaceship and the Spiritual Qi consumption of the portal are all astronomical!
You can say that the phone in your hand is made from a pile of Spiritual Stones. It doesn't make much profit. "
Chen Xiaobei was flabbergasted. "998 Spiritual Stones per phone? Not much profit?! That's crazy! "
But when he thought about it, it was not that surprising.
Take Silver Plume Planet for example. The nobles lived in the main city. Their jobs were easy and the pay was very high.
Outside the main city, other than the military camps, the rest were barren lands occupied by Demonic Beasts. It was very difficult to mine resources there.
On top of that, interstellar transportation could easily cover hundreds of millions of kilometers or thousands of light years.
After careful calculation, the cost of a mobile phone was really not low!
Chen Xiaobei looked at the Dami 17 in his hand and felt that it was a lot heavier.
At the same time, a bold idea popped into Chen Xiaobei's mind.
If he could get his hands on a bunch of Returning Bracelets, he could set a point of origin for each of the raw materials.
That way, the cost of interstellar transportation could be reduced to zero!
Wouldn't he be able to make a killing?
"Oh, right. Other than the phone, is the cost of living high? Like the price of goods? "Chen Xiaobei asked.
After all, Chen Xiaobei planned to bring his family and friends here. He had to know the price of goods first. He could not let them live like poor people, right?
"The price of goods is not low either! Ning Yuchen said. "Take Sister Hua for example. A meal here costs at least 3 to 5 Spiritual Stones!"
"No way!"
Chen Xiaobei was sweating. "If I convert that to RMB, that's three to five billion yuan for a meal! That's enough to bankrupt the richest Lan Family in Green Vine City! "
"You need to change your way of thinking! This is not earth! This is not earth! This is not earth! Important things must be repeated three times!
Let's not talk about other things. Sister Hua's vegetables and grains are organic Spiritual Crops from the nobles' farm! The roasted meat is from the Spiritual Beasts from the nobles' farm! How can the price be cheap? "
Liu Chen added, "You haven't eaten at the First Street Chef's banquet. If you don't pay a few hundred Spiritual Stones, you won't be able to leave your house!"
