Not only did Li Mochen provide the creative ideas and the overall structure of the array diagram for this' beast trap 'targeted at a certain lady, he was also responsible for the core part of the array design. Anthony was responsible for the peripheral secondary parts, and then divided the rest of the work into a dozen parts, handing it over to the alchemists under him and the Exquisite laboratories to be in charge.
Originally, the richest man was not very confident in Li Mochen's standard of magic text layout. But there was no other way. After all, this was something designed by Li Mochen, and he was currently the person who understood it the best. Only Li Mochen knew best what kind of function this device needed, what kind of effect it needed to achieve, and how to achieve it. Therefore, having this person in charge of the core device was the most time-saving and labor-saving method.
However, to his surprise, although the array designed by Li Mochen was not outstanding, it was logically self-consistent and did not have any structural bugs.
Anthony only needed to make slight improvements and optimizations on this basis, and it took less than an hour in total.
The two of them worked together, and with the help of the resources at Anthony's disposal, it took less than three days. The prototype of the device had been completed, and the results of the subsequent tests were very satisfactory.
What made Li Mochen helpless was that this richest man and his employees seemed to have no concept of the words' energy consumption 'and' cost ', and did not care at all.
Therefore, not only was the cost of this device astonishing, but the consumption was also unbelievably high.
It was estimated that after its official improved version was out, their total investment would be as high as 2.2 billion gold duns, enough to build a state-of-the-art cruiser or a magic tower of about seven floors. Then, the various magic stones and materials needed to activate it for an hour would be the same as the magic tower array in the City of Atlanta, which was 40 million gold duns for an hour.
Anthony did not think much of it, and instead looked at Li Mochen with a very surprised gaze.
"Ammo, that's the Lord of Void Night! She's the most troublesome legend in this world, and her true combat strength can make Lesser Gods retreat. For her, let alone a billion, it's worth it for us to invest 10 billion gold duns, as long as we can really catch that guy. And now, we can see hope. "
After hearing that, Li Mochen couldn't help but roll his eyes. This fellow's net worth was in the trillions of gold duns, so it was true that he didn't care about such a small amount of money. However, Li Mochen's assets were not even a fraction of the latter's, so he could not help but feel distressed.
This was also because he was used to being poor in the Original Sky Realm. In a situation where resources were scarce, he could not wait to make full use of every material and every wisp of Spiritual Energy. He could not bear to see these people squander resources.
"Did you know? Ammo, I can't wait to throw in another few billion gold duns to ensure that nothing goes wrong. "
At this point, Anthony's expression changed slightly. "Emm … Should we hire a demigod or a magician for help? I just don't feel at ease. "
Li Mochen immediately refused. "Anthony, if you plan to hire a demigod, I'd be happy to see it happen, but you'll have to bear the expenses, okay? I will only cover 30% of the current expenses and will not invest any more. I believe that the money and strength I have invested are already enough. "
"Alright!"
Anthony seemed to have noticed Li Mochen's predicament and shook his head. "I'll pay for it this time. But Ammo, you have to work harder to earn more money. You can't keep taking advantage of me like this. "
At that moment, Li Mochen wanted nothing more than to pull out his Longwei and shoot the richest man dead.
Fortunately, two days later, the Wings of the Alliance arrived at Whitestag Port on the continent of Anatolia and brought him more than 700 million gold duns in profit, slightly comforting his wounded heart.
Apart from the part he brought to the Church of the Goddess of Nature, the rest of the goods he brought this time were jointly swallowed by the 27 Hunting Groups of the East Anatolian Continent Alliance. This was far more than the amount Alexandra Kandra had given him. It was obvious that he was trying to show his goodwill.
Li Mochen was not surprised by the attitude of the hunting squads. He had already displayed his strength in the battle of the Adrians. For a powerful supplier like him, any power in the Antorian Continent would have to be on good terms with him.
The members of the East Anatolian Alliance didn't seem to want the heavy weapons he brought to fall into the hands of their enemies. That was another heavy bargaining chip. Light and Magic Industries' heavy weapons were well received by all parties, but they rarely made it to Anatolia.
That was due to the joint efforts of several major military groups to suppress and attack Light and Magic Industries. Very few shipping squads dared to send their products to Anatolia for sale, as it would greatly increase their chances of encountering pirates.
But Li Mochen had no such qualms. For a faction with two demigods, there was no need for it.
Therefore, even if it was just to swallow the tanks, armored vehicles, and missiles in Li Mochen's hands, these hunting groups of the 'East Anatolian Continent Alliance' had to buy the various supplies they brought at the most favorable price.
In fact, the leaders of the hunting squads personally came over in the next few days. Li Mochen had to bring Angela and Hazel to attend a few banquets in Port Whitestag just to deal with the future partners and discuss various matters.
After a few days of communication and secret discussions, the Wings of the Alliance took all sorts of magical materials from them, totaling up to 2.7 billion gold duns.
Based on the current 200% profit rate of the trade in magical materials in Anatolia, the hunters would be able to make a profit of 5 billion gold duns after returning to America.
It was worth mentioning that 45% of that belonged to Li Mochen.
That wasn't because he was being unfair or because the other shipowners were reluctant to invest. It was because only Li Mochen could get the best magical materials from the hunting squads. The larger hunting squads only cared about Li Mochen himself. They didn't care about the smaller shipowners.
That made Li Mochen's face glow. He began to look forward to the income the fleet would receive after returning to America.
It was estimated that the Wings of the Alliance would be able to make three to four trips on this trade route between the Anatolian continent and America in a year, bringing the ship group a huge gross profit of 15 billion to 20 billion gold guilders.
That was why he needed to strengthen his escort team and recruit more magical professionals and sailors.
Li Mochen's ideal situation was to be the security force of the Wings of the Alliance. Even if he couldn't attend to anything else, he would still be able to ensure the safety of the fleet.
That would require at least two to three mid-level or low-level Legends to oversee the fleet. Then, they would be accompanied by 30 high-level outsiders, four to five Quasi-Legends, and a combat force of more than 2,000 people.
Only with such strength could the fleet be guaranteed to be safe and sound under any circumstances.
However, this escort force would also be a gold-swallowing monster. It would cause his annual net profit to drop to about 3 billion.
After the trade on Anatolia ended, Li Mochen took Angela and Hazel to have fun here for a few days. Then, after White Thomas arrived, they once again took the plane provided by Anthony and returned to America.
This legendary level 2 magical energy hunter and Yul Clementine would replace him in guarding the Wings of the Alliance ship fleet, protecting the safety of the ship fleet and its cargo.
