Chapter 87 Water Wutong: As long as you give the order, my dear nephew, I am willing to help you con
Inside the treasury, everything was resplendent with gold.
Everywhere there were dazzling gold and silver jewels, scattered on the ground as if they were free.
"Third Uncle, are all these jewels from your collection?"
Li Luochen was speechless.
This is more than his father's personal savings.
Judging by how things go, the total value will probably exceed 100 million.
It's important to understand that this is just the treasure trove of one of the ships, not the entirety of the Ocean Fleet's assets.
To achieve champion-level status and maintain a balance of power with the Hoenn League, it's impossible not to have substantial assets.
There could probably be several hundred small goals.
"That's right. Nephews and nieces, just tell me which one you like, and take it without hesitation. Don't be shy with your uncle."
Shui Wutong walked up behind the two and shoved them inside, as if afraid that Li Luochen and Jiadeliya would not give her face and would just pick up some worthless gold bricks from the ground.
He, Shui Wutong, was so poor that all he had left was money.
After Li Luochen regained his footing, he actually began searching through the treasure vault.
If there's something good, why not take it?
Cattleya didn't hold back either.
My father and Shui Wutong are old acquaintances. It is said that their connection goes back several generations, even longer than the Xi Cui era.
Under these circumstances, it was perfectly reasonable for Gadriya to pick whatever she wanted.
It's all about social interactions and relationships.
Today we received some items from Shui Wutong, so the family will likely place more orders for her in the future.
This way, the relationship between the two parties will last longer.
"Uncle, do you have any useless keystones here? I can buy one from you at market price."
Li Luochen searched for a long time but couldn't find anything that suited his taste. His eyes were getting tired from looking at so many things, so he quickly turned around to look at some green plants to relax.
So, I simply asked Water Wutong if she had any extra Keystones for me.
He just checked and found that Shui Wutong, Quan Mei, and two other senior officials all possessed keystones.
In other words, the guaranteed minimum is four keystones.
If there are extras, then they will most likely be empty.
As for spending money to buy it, that was a decision Li Luochen made after much thought and weighing the pros and cons.
Although Shui Wutong was a brother recognized by his father, he was still recognized, not a biological brother.
Li Luochen and Shui Wutong weren't very familiar with each other, so it was best to avoid causing them as much trouble as possible.
After all, the price of keystones at auctions remains high, and if you were to give them to yourself directly, it would cost at least 13% of your target price.
Li Luochen didn't want to owe anyone a huge favor for such a large sum of money.
If I can buy it at market price, I'll consider it a small favor I owe.
Minrong Martial Arts Academy has saved up quite a bit of money over the years, more than enough to buy a keystone.
Although the agreement states that resources will gradually increase based on the company's own strength, in necessary situations like this, it is permissible to consume in advance.
"Um……"
The water sycamore pondered.
Judging from Li Luochen's expression, he knew that Li Luochen didn't want to trouble him too much since it was their first meeting.
However, the water sycamore also had some feelings.
No wonder he's Li Fan's son; his style of doing things is just like his.
They might even think further ahead and wouldn't exploit relatives for personal gain.
Children can be taught.
If Li Luochen ever has designs on the Hoenn region, I must provide assistance!
We should strive to achieve the great merit of following the dragon's rise.
Archie's thoughts wandered a bit, immediately conjuring up the idea of attacking the Hoenn region.
Seemingly noticing that Li Luochen and Jia Deliya's gazes were a bit off, Shui Wutong also suppressed her smile.
"Cough cough."
He cleared his throat and continued, "I do have two extra keystones. Nephew, if you want one, don't bother buying it; your uncle will just give you one."
Shui Wutong took a key stone from the safe next to her and handed it to Li Luochen.
"No, Uncle, this is too expensive. I still want to buy it with money. Name your price; I think I can afford it within a small budget."
Li Luochen pushed the keystone back.
He had only asked casually; if he really wanted to get the keystones for free, he would have told Yulongdu long ago.
The main reason is that their own strength is too weak, and they don't have many benefits that they can exchange with others on an equal footing.
If you really accept it, the favor you'll owe later on will be huge.
It wasn't that Li Luochen didn't want to owe, but rather that he wanted to avoid owing as much as possible.
Small favors are fine, but I really dare not owe big favors.
All I can say is that anything that can be solved with money isn't a problem.
"Since you've put it that way, nephew, then your uncle will symbolically accept... five million."
Water Wutong stretched out a palm.
To be honest, for Li Luochen, this five million was already a steal.
The transaction price of keystones circulating in the market is in the tens of millions.
Five million is a huge discount.
"Thank you for your generosity, Uncle. If you ever need anything from me in the future, I will repay you handsomely."
Li Luochen clasped his hands in greeting and exchanged contact information with Shui Wutong.
Buying keystones for five million is a huge profit.
The price to pay is that you owe someone a small favor.
"Oh, these are just trinkets that have been sitting in the warehouse. What good stuff could possibly be in this ship's treasure trove? Nephew, is there anything else you want? Your third uncle can pack up some more for you to take with you."
Shui Wutong found the gold and silver jewelry a bit of a nuisance, so she casually took a black plastic bag from Quanmei's hand and scooped out a pile of gold coins.
I'd estimate it weighs about eight pounds.
Based on the current gold price in the Donghuang region, it would be at least three million.
"Third Uncle, there's really no need for that."
Li Luochen took a few steps back, and only then did Shui Wutong give up.
"Uncle Water Wutong, then I'll take this super stone."
In her hand, Gadriya held a super stone, inside which was a DNA helix woven from green and pink.
[Item: Gallade Evolution Stone]
[Note: This is a Mega Stone that, when held, allows Gallade to Mega Evolve.]
"No problem, my niece has excellent taste. This is the most valuable treasure among all my things."
When Shui Wutong saw that Jia Deliya had picked out a piece of jewelry, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Then I seem to have a special connection with it. Thank you, Uncle Shui Wutong, for parting with it."
Cattleya smiled gently.
Shui Wutong raised an eyebrow, laughing and crying at the same time, "No wonder you two are a match made in heaven. You've only been together for a short time, and you already talk so similarly. What would happen if you stayed together for a while longer?"
Li Luochen and Jiadeliya exchanged a glance, blushing and becoming shy at being teased like this.
"Third Uncle, then we, Cattleya and I, won't bother you any longer. We'll head back now, and we'll keep in touch more often in the future."
After checking the time on the clock and letting Yu Longdu and Banmu know that he was safe, Li Luochen bid farewell to Shui Wutong.
"Alright, nephew and niece! Have a safe trip, and if you encounter any trouble, be sure to let your uncle know!"
"no problem."
Li Luochen pulled Jiadeliya away.
Just as I was about to disembark, I brushed past a female member wearing a Marines uniform.
Li Luochen's expression changed slightly, but he pretended to be nonchalant as he led Jia Deliya off the ship.
Within a few seconds, Li Luochen's emotions changed drastically, causing Jia Deliya to worry: "Baby, what happened to that person just now? Your expression seems off."
After calming himself down and confirming that the person was not within his waveguide range, Li Luochen lowered his voice and said...
