#1050 - Dinghai Magic Pearl!
“System... System... Calling System...”
Qin Buyi called out in his heart.
[My noob host, what unsolvable problem do you have this time that requires this system to solve for you?]
A classic and familiar opening line that Qin Buyi automatically filtered out.
There was no helping it; arguing with the system on this issue would easily lead to getting angered to death~
He couldn't beat the system in a fight, and the system wouldn't listen to reason, so he could only choose to automatically block it out.
Qin Buyi said, "System, if the Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle in the East Sea is taken away, will the East Sea experience tsunamis and unrest every day?"
The system said: [That's about right.]
Qin Buyi said, "Then is there any way to keep the East Sea stable after the Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle is taken away?"
The system said: [That method... does exist, but it depends on whether you're willing to spend system store points.]
[If you're willing to spend system store points, as long as the points are sufficient, the East Sea will never have tsunamis again.]
[If you're willing to go all out, I can completely flatten the East Sea, so there won't even be a drop of rain, let alone tsunamis.]
Qin Buyi: “......”
Qin Buyi was speechless at the system's words.
After a moment of愣, Qin Buyi said, "There's no need to go to such lengths; overcorrection isn't a good thing either."
"Just make the East Sea return to calm after the Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle is taken away."
The system said: [That's a simple request; one trillion system store points and I'll help you with it.]
Qin Buyi said, "One trillion system store points? Are you trying to rob me!"
The system said: [Think about it; such a vast East Sea, wouldn't it require a lot of power to calm it down?]
[Let me tell you, one trillion system store points is already very cheap for you!]
Qin Buyi said, "Is the Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle worth one trillion system store points? Are you trying to fool an idiot!"
The system said: [The Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle's cost is certainly not worth one trillion system store points; if we calculate it based on this system's cost price, fifty billion system store points would be enough to create an identical Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle.]
Qin Buyi said, "Damn, System, you're a pure profiteer."
"Something worth fifty billion system store points, you're asking me for one trillion system store points, a full two hundred times the price."
The system said: [Host, you have to let this system earn a little, don't you?]
[According to your Blue Star's calculations, labor costs are very expensive; raw materials don't cost much, but once there's labor involved, the price immediately increases several times~]
Qin Buyi said, "No matter how expensive the labor costs are, they wouldn't increase the price by two hundred times, would they?"
The system said: [How about you give this system fifty billion system store points, and this system will prepare two sets of raw materials worth one hundred billion system store points for you to refine yourself?]
[If you ruin one set, you can try again; do you want to do it?]
Qin Buyi said, "If you put it that way, wouldn't I earn fifty billion system store points out of thin air if I sold these raw materials back to you?"
The system said: [No recursion!]
Qin Buyi said, "You're the one who started recursing with me here!"
The system said: [You're really a cunning host; fine, I'll give you a chance to haggle.]
Qin Buyi asked suspiciously, "Haggle? Then... would you do it for ten billion system store points?"
The system said with some exasperation: [I told you to haggle, not to cut an artery!! You caught me off guard with that cut!]
Qin Buyi said, "Didn't you say I could haggle? So I just cut a little harder."
The system said: [You're cutting too hard; that won't do...]
Qin Buyi said, "The cost is fifty billion system store points; how about I give you another nine billion system store points as labor costs?"
"You know my savings; that's all I have. If you want too much, this deal won't happen."
The system said: [Fine, I know my noob host is poor; let's just make it fifty-nine billion system store points then.]
[Confirm the production now?]
Qin Buyi said, "Confirm the production; let's make it clear in advance that I want a Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle that's exactly the same as the East Sea Dragon Clan's."
The system said: [Okay.]
[Ding! All fifty-nine billion system store points have been deducted; the current system store point balance is zero.]
[Ding! Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearl is in production...]
"Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearl?" A pile of question marks appeared above Qin Buyi's head.
[Ding! Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearl production complete!]
Before Qin Buyi could ask what was going on, he heard the system notification again.
Looking at the water-blue pearl that appeared in front of him, Qin Buyi asked suspiciously:
"System, I asked you to make a Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle; why did you make a Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearl!"
The system said: [The two things have the same effect; they're about the same.]
[Anyway, you're taking it to the East Sea to exchange it for the Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle; as long as it has the effect of stabilizing the sea, isn't that good enough?]
Qin Buyi said, "System, you're spying on my thoughts again..."
The system said: [It's really not me spying on your thoughts; it's just that your thoughts are so obvious; is it my fault~]
Qin Buyi had the system refine an identical Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle not because he planned to directly throw it to a monkey.
But because he planned to go to the Dragon Palace after refining it, and after some negotiations, exchange the Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle refined by the system with the East Sea Dragon Clan's Sea Stabilizing Divine Needle.
Don't wonder why he would do this; it's because after doing so, Qin Buyi could make another fortune during the negotiations with the East Sea Dragon Clan.
The East Sea Dragon Clan is so wealthy; it's much better than the area near Flower Fruit Mountain.
Near Flower Fruit Mountain, Qin Buyi came twice, and each time he obtained tens of billions of system store points.
The harvest from the East Sea Dragon Clan will definitely be higher than Flower Fruit Mountain, and much higher than that.
Otherwise, wouldn't Qin Buyi's expenditure of fifty-nine billion system store points be a complete waste?
Qin Buyi would never do a losing business.
Looking at the Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearl in his hand, Qin Buyi said, "It's fine as long as the effect is the same."
But Qin Buyi always felt that something was wrong.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Qin Buyi's mind, and he said, "System, what's the production cost of this Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearl?"
The system said indifferently: [You're asking about the production cost of this Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearl? This thing has only one function, which is to stabilize the sea.]
[Other than that, it doesn't have any other effects; it's only worth two or three billion system store points.]
Qin Buyi said, "Damn! The production cost is two or three billion system store points; System, you're such a profiteer!"
When it comes to cost compression, even capitalists would have to call the system's operations, experts!
With a few words, he earned more than fifty billion system store points out of thin air from Qin Buyi...
As expected, having a skill in hand means you won't suffer anywhere you go!
The system heard Qin Buyi's words and said: [Host, you can't say that!]
[This system is making the products you need in a thrifty and diligent manner, learning from you, so how did it become a profiteer?]
[You tell me, isn't this thing the same as the effect you wanted~]
Qin Buyi said, "It's the same, but..."
Before he could finish speaking, the system interrupted him and said: [It's good that it's the same; since it's the same, why use so many materials?]
Qin Buyi said, "System, I suddenly regret it; how about you refund some system store points to me~"
The system said: [What are you saying? This system's service tenet is that you can contact me for after-sales service for products sold, but refunds are refused!]
[You want to take away the system store points that have entered my place? Are you dreaming!]
After saying that, before Qin Buyi could say anything else, he cut off the transmission with Qin Buyi.
Leaving Qin Buyi alone, looking at the Sea Stabilizing Divine Pearl with a cost price of two or three billion in front of him, he fell into deep thought...
