Global Catastrophe: I Became the World Tree-Chapter 249 - 183 Massive Purchase of Mutated Animals_1

The Mutated Parrot hadn’t broken through to Fourth Order yet, but with its current size, it obviously couldn’t just enter the conference room at will.

Of course, with current technology, there was always a way, such as the Mutated Parrot joining via video conference.

Soon, the projection of the Mutated Parrot appeared on the big screen.

"Oh, you guys are having a meeting! I’m coming over now, I hope I’m not disturbing you!" Ye Feng, who was arranged in another hall, couldn’t help but say after seeing the scene projected on the screen in front of him.

"Haha, not at all! The restricted area is precisely the important matter we’re discussing. Your timing is perfect," Liu Zaoxin said promptly.

Although the meeting wasn’t intended to discuss the restricted area, they could always add it to the agenda.

"Oh? So, you’ve come up with a way to deal with the restricted area?" Ye Feng suddenly became interested.

"Ahem!" Liu Zaoxin immediately coughed lightly, admitting that his previous statement had been premature, he had no choice but to turn his gaze to Bai Yinghui beside him.

Bai Yinghui picked up his teacup, took a sip, quickly organized his thoughts, and then said, "Parrot Messenger, you’ve come this time to inquire about the Earth-penetrating Bomb, haven’t you?"

"Yes, that’s right. Only with the successful development of the Earth-penetrating Bomb can we truly effectively weaken the strength of the restricted area. How far along are you now?" Ye Feng inquired.

"I just happened to have called the Chinese Academy of Sciences today to ask about their modification progress, and the preliminary modification of the Earth-penetrating Bomb has been completed."

"Which means the temperature of the Earth-penetrating Bomb’s explosion can be raised above 3000 degrees, though the coverage is a bit small, with a diameter of less than 20 meters. They’re working on increasing its power," Bai Yinghui immediately explained the current situation.

Ye Feng was pleased at first, but then a bit disappointed.

If the diameter were only 20 meters, the scope was indeed too small.

"How long will the subsequent modifications take?" Ye Feng continued to ask.

"Under smooth circumstances, 2 to 3 days, even if it’s slower, 4 to 5 days should be sufficient, since this is only a modification. Of course, this also means that the final result may not be quite up to expectations," Bai Yinghui set the stage upfront, also worried about raising too high expectations.

"Okay, I understand," Ye Feng nodded. If it was just a matter of waiting a few days, he would definitely wait for the Earth-penetrating Bomb to be modified before taking action.

Seeing that Ye Feng had no more questions, Liu Zaoxin hurriedly spoke up, "Parrot Messenger, there’s something we’d like to ask Dragon Hall for help with. Do you have time?"

"Oh? What’s the matter?" Ye Feng asked casually.

"It’s like this..."

Liu Zaoxin promptly discussed the future development plan of Yang City and explained the difficulties they were facing.

The more Ye Feng heard, the more astonished he became.

Yang City was one of the first cities to have survived the Mutated insect crisis. Having overcome the crisis, it had been developing at full strength for two days.

During these two days, Ye Feng had been busy earning money in various places, so he hadn’t paid much attention to Yang City.

As he had flown in just before, looking down from the sky, he had already noticed the huge changes in Yang City. Compared to before, the entire city was far more bustling, with crowds moving about everywhere.

Even with mental preparation, upon hearing Liu Zaoxin’s construction plan, Ye Feng couldn’t help but be profoundly moved.

He knew that once this expansion was complete, Yang City would transform from a second-tier city directly into a super first-tier city that ranked among the nation’s top.

Yang City was also Ye Feng’s hometown, and seeing such development in his hometown, he was naturally and genuinely pleased from the bottom of his heart.

Later, when Liu Zaoxin mentioned wanting to expand in the direction of the Donglin Mountain Range, Ye Feng immediately understood what kind of help the other party wanted from him.

"So you’re saying, you want to hire Dragon Hall to protect your construction team, just like before?" Ye Feng asked.

"Yes, we only need protection until we complete building the city wall. Um... how much would that cost?" Liu Zaoxin asked somewhat anxiously.

Ye Feng pondered for a moment before speaking, "We’ve worked together so many times now, and I know you need funds to develop the city. So, I’ll give you a bit of a discount this time. 1 billion Huaxia currency should be enough. How does that sound?"

billion Huaxia currency indeed was a discounted price. Helping defend the Donglin Mountain Range, though not a fierce battle and not pressing for Dragon Hall, would require a long time.

This time, they couldn’t build the city wall directly; instead, they had to excavate the mountain range first and then construct it.

By Ye Feng’s estimation, no matter how fast the other party was, it would take at least half a month to a month, so charging 1 billion was not expensive at all.

As expected, upon hearing this, Liu Zaoxin’s face immediately broke into a smile, "I truly thank you ever so much."

"You’re welcome. This kind of cooperation benefits us both; an income of 1 billion will allow our Dragon Hall to add quite a number of Mutated Animals."

"So, let’s now discuss the 13.1 billion, no, it’s already 14.1 billion on my account. We shall decide which Mutated Animals to purchase!" Ye Feng immediately steered the conversation to the second important matter of his visit today.

In these past few days, he had been rescuing cities without rest, all for this moment.

When Ye Feng spoke thus, everyone present couldn’t help but feel a chill in their hearts, and many could not help but glance involuntarily towards Bai Yinghui.

"Certainly, whichever Mutated Animals you wish to purchase, just say the word and we will cooperate to 200%," Liu Zaoxin said promptly, patting his chest.

"Great! Then I’ll start with 1,000 Mutated Eagles. How much will that cost?" Ye Feng pondered as he spoke.

After reaching Fourth Order, he could control a full 1,000 of the same kind of Mutated Animals under him. ƒrēenovelkiss.com

Now that he’s not short on cash, he naturally didn’t hesitate to start with a request for 1,000.

As for why he chose to purchase Mutated Eagles first, it was obviously because he was most in need of a strong Air Unit!

Even with a certain level of mental preparation, Liu Zaoxin couldn’t help his heart skipping a beat upon hearing this number.

His gaze involuntarily shifted to Secretary-General Cao Guangzhi beside him. After all, these matters had previously been Cao’s responsibility.

At that moment, Cao Guangzhi quickly stood up. Somewhat nervously, he addressed the Parrot Messenger who was looking at the large screen.

"Parrot Messenger, as the previous list we provided you showed, we only have 532 Mutated Eagles. If you wish to purchase 1,000, please give us some time to contact more laboratories domestically to make the purchase."

As he spoke, he watched the Mutated Parrot’s expression closely, fearful that it might get angry, especially since Bai Yinghui’s warning was still fresh in his memory.

"No problem," Ye Feng nodded and asked, "What about the price? Roughly how much will it cost?"

As long as the other party wasn’t deliberately procrastinating and holding back on getting things done, Ye Feng would not get angry over such objective issues; he understood the difficulty involved.

As for whether they might deliberately make things difficult for him?

Ye Feng believed that unless the minds of these leaders had all been jammed in a door, they wouldn’t make such foolish mistakes.

As long as humanity’s crisis was not averted, their alliance would remain firm.

Seeing that the Parrot Messenger did not get angry, everyone present couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Cao Guangzhi promptly said, "You know, the price of Mutated Eagles differs from one laboratory to another. However, we will strive to help lower the price, aiming to keep the average cost of a Mutated Eagle at about 2.5 million each. For 1,000, that would be 2.5 billion. Does that sound good to you?"

"That’s fine. Additionally, I plan to purchase 1,000 Mutated King Cobras, 1,000 Mutated Tigers, 1,000 Mutated Lions, 1,000 Mutated Wild Wolves, and 1,000 Mutated Honey Badgers. Lastly, for the Mutated Giant Pandas, I doubt there are as many as 1,000, but 100 should be available, right?"

"Alright, that’s all. Please calculate the total price for me!"

The animals that Ye Feng listed were all ones his own forces could breakthrough on their own.

And since he already had 1,000 Mutated Big Yellow Dogs under him, he didn’t need any more.

Listening to the string of numbers recited by the Parrot Messenger, cold sweat broke out on Cao Guangzhi’s forehead.

But he immediately responded, "The price of the Mutated King Cobra is roughly 500,000 each, amounting to 5 billion for 1,000."

"The Mutated Tigers and Mutated Lions, we should be able to keep the price down to about 3 million each. Together, those would be 60 billion."

"The Mutated Wild Wolves are approximately 500,000 each, so 1,000 would roughly cost 5 billion."

"As for the Mutated Honey Badger, although small in size, our country’s number of honey badgers is rather limited, and with your bulk purchase, the price will inevitably rise, I’m afraid. It might come to around 1 million each, so 1,000 would be 10 billion."

"Lastly, the Mutated Giant Pandas would be at least 10 million each, coming to 10 billion for 100."

"Therefore, the total for all these Mutated Animals you need would be roughly around 115 billion," said Cao Guangzhi.

Ye Feng nodded after hearing this. To tell the truth, this was less than he had anticipated. He hadn’t expected to have around 26 billion left after his purchases.

"Alright, let it be so! My requirement is to proceed as quickly as possible. To achieve this, I am willing to allow you to increase the quoted prices by up to 10%," Ye Feng said finally.
