I Can Program My Body?-Chapter 479: Barting Rare Resources

After all they went through seeking Julius, negotiating the prices and various limitations, they couldn’t even buy the potions with money?!

Feeling fire in their hearts, they looked at Julius in anger.

"What payment do you want if not money?!"

"Relax. As you know, the Star Alliance doesn’t lack money itself but various resources. Naturally, we would want something money can’t buy," Julius said calmly.

With quintillions of sol, the Star Alliance never lacked money, but turning it into resources was hard.

Buying general resources was fine as they were plentiful.

However, as they reached tier 6 and above, resources became so rare that they could barely find a few for sale.

Most of them were monopolized resources consumed internally. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

This resulted in the Star Alliance having money but nowhere to spend it.

Even buying a Tier 6 battleship became so hard that they needed to reserve them.

Even with the connections of the Aqua Sector, they could barely reserve a million tier 6 battleships.

"So that’s it..."

Hearing Julius’s words, everyone calmed down.

The Solaris Domain was a small place. Even with money, one couldn’t just buy anything.

Especially those items that had reached the tier of law.

Besides some auctions, they were only exchanged internally within organizations.

"Do you have any more questions?"

"No, this exchange is fine."

Since the soul relieving potion was also a rare resource, barter was fine.

"That’s good!"

Soon, coming to an agreement, they began exchanging various resources.

From tier 6 materials priced at millions of sol per piece to tier 6 battleships priced at 10 trillion each, even planetary civilizations and tier 6 slaves were exchanged.

All in all, after selling over 300 million bottles of potion, he got 30 quadrillion worth of resources.

"What about the rest? How are you going to sell it?"

They’d just heard earlier that Julius had over a billion bottles of potion in stock.

With over three thousand representatives having a hundred thousand bottle quota, there were still over seven hundred million left.

"This is also for sale, of course. However, each one can only be exchanged for a tier 7 battleship."

Unlike tier 6 resources, which could still be bought if one was lucky, a tier 7 battleship was a resource that could only be produced in the Chronos Capital and some of the top Domain territories.

Not having the capability to produce such a tier of battleship on their own, their scarcity was beyond doubt.

"How many potions could be exchanged for one tier 7 battleship?"

The price of a Tier 7 battleship had almost no limit.

If one were desperate, it could even go to 100 quadrillion.

"It’s 10 million bottles of potion for a tier 7 battleship."

"What? Just 10 million bottles?"

Ten million bottles of soul relieving potion were only worth 1 quadrillion sol.

"Isn’t this according to the market?"

"Market my ass! Although the purchase price of a tier 7 battleship is only about 1 quadrillion sol, the transportation, connections, and hardship we had to make wasn’t included!"

To buy battleships that were out of quota from the Chronos Empire, they had to make the purchase themselves.

Traversing the treacherous space filled with endless dark beasts, space pirates, and many unknown disasters, even a Planetary Powerhouse might fall if one wasn’t careful.

Just to transport a few Tier 7 battleships, they needed to hire hundreds of planetary powerhouses from other sectors.

Plus, the connections they had to make to buy one, the cost of a single tier 7 battleship could go up to 10 quadrillion.

"I’m not forcing you. The potion is just here. If you don’t want to, you can just wait for a month to exchange it." Julius shrugged his shoulders.

Besides the tier 6 resources, the main goal given to him by Nash was the tier 7 battleships.

There were about 85 teams with level 5 shelters within the Star Alliance.

Having a quota of 1,000 tier 7 battleships and a million tier 6 battleships each.

Coupled with the quota of a level 6 shelter.

In total, they needed 95,000 tier 7 battleships and 95 million tier 6 battleships.

Needing to fill this void, just the 95,000 tier 7 battleships were already equivalent to 950 billion potions, which was far too little compared to their yearly production capacity of 35 billion.

This was just accounting for the current scale of the Star Alliance.

Once a few more teams joined in, the quota would only be wasted.

Banking on the investment that would come to the Star Alliance, Julius looked at the representatives before him with interest.

Once they’d grown, the bigger fish should be attracted.

"What now? Do you want to exchange or not?"

"We’ll exchange," they muttered through gritted teeth.

What could they do? One hundred thousand potions weren’t nearly enough to distribute to those young talents.

Furthermore, these potions could basically change the course of the cosmic competition.

From an unknown, lackluster domain, they could achieve a grander scale.

Perhaps before long, they would even have their own domain territory.

Of course, that was all for later. For now, all they wanted was to stock soul relieving potions as much as possible.

After all, the Star Alliance would only stay in the Solaris Capital for less than three years.

After going to the Wild Void Territory, who knew when they’d meet again?

"Good~ There’s no limit to the number you can exchange. First come, first served." Julius’s smile returned.

With over 700 million potions left, he could earn 70 battleships.

Seventy technological weapons that could rival and even surpass a tier 7 War Saint in terms of destructiveness!

It might seem small, but compared to the battleships Nash got from the previous investment, which was barely a dozen, it was already a lot.

Negotiating various terms and agreements with all interested parties, Julius quickly exchanged the rest of the potions.

"It’s all gone~" Julius muttered, seeing that some still wanted to exchange.

"Tsk, what a letdown."

"Can you increase the production capacity?"

"A billion potions a month is simply not enough!"

"Just tell us if you need some materials. We’ll see what we can do."
