Chapter 296 Lu Hao, the Rich and Powerful
Lu Hao handed the exchange catalog back to Zhang. "Minister Zhang, I don't think there's any rush to exchange it. After all, energy stones are hard currency."
"It's not a big problem if I invest all my money in Magic Martial Arts. At worst, I can just go down into the underground caves to rob more when I'm out of resources," Lu Hao said leisurely.
Zhang Tao's face darkened; he knew perfectly well that Lu Hao had noticed he had changed the price.
So he gave Wang Qinghai a look.
The next moment, Wang Qinghai pretended to look at the exchange catalog and said, "Oh dear, sorry, I took the wrong catalog. This is the exchange catalog for external parties. The minister just mentioned that it's for Grandmasters who have made great contributions..."
"It's my fault for wanting to choose a lower price; I'm getting old, and my memory isn't what it used to be."
Wang Qinghai pretended to be remorseful and turned to get the redemption booklet.
Lu Hao remained silent, simply staring at Zhang Tao.
An eighth-rank martial artist with a bad memory? You're kidding me. Zhang Tao didn't feel uncomfortable at all being stared at by Lu Hao. He looked up at the sky outside. The white clouds were so white, and the blue sky was so blue. He just acted like he didn't know anything about it.
Lu Hao was speechless. He really needed to learn more from Zhang Tao about shamelessness; after all, Zhang Tao was someone whom the King of the Underworld called a disgrace to the True King.
How could I possibly break down in such a small situation?
Soon Wang Qinghai came in again, holding a cold document in his hand.
Lu Hao took the new document and saw that a single petal of the Heavenly Golden Lotus was worth 25 billion. So they thought he didn't know the price and just quoted 5 billion, which was more expensive than the actual price.
Most people would actually think this is the real redemption catalog.
Zhang Tao, sitting opposite Lu Hao, had a slight smile on his lips. He didn't believe Lu Hao really knew the price of the exchange booklet, so he prepared several documents.
The first one was obviously doubled in price across the board, while the second one was only half changed.
Even so, he still made a huge profit.
"--Alright, let's do it this way." Lu Hao didn't say anything more, after all, Zhang Tao was doing this for the sake of humanity.
Anyway, he only planned to exchange some, and give the rest of the energy stones to Zhang Tao as a gift. Otherwise, would so many energy stones really burn through the Magic Martial Arts Academy?
Four tons is enough.
Zhang Tao raised an eyebrow. What did Lu Hao mean by this? He couldn't possibly actually know the government's exchange catalog, could he?
Those old fogies can't be so bored as to keep staring at him, can they?
No, no, Zhang Tao comforted himself.
"How many petals does a Heavenly Golden Lotus have?" Lu Hao asked.
"Eight petals," Wang Qinghai replied.
"Let's see what's going on with two flowers first," Lu Hao said casually.
"Minister?" Wang Qinghai looked at Zhang Tao. After all, two Heavenly Golden Lotuses were worth four hundred billion. He only knew that Lu Hao had made a fortune, but he didn't know the exact value.
"Let him change it. This kid really made a killing this time. He's not short of money," Zhang Tao said.
Wang Qinghai didn't say anything more.
Lu Hao continued looking down. The exchange booklet was similar to his last one, except that it contained a few more divine weapons. After all, human resources were indeed too scarce.
"Minister Wang, how much Moonlit Grass do you have in stock?"
"Moonlight Grass can enhance mental power. Although it cannot break through barriers, the improvement before mental power manifests is still significant."
"The government doesn't have much stock either, just over twenty plants," Wang Qinghai replied.
At the same time, he was incredibly surprised. How much did Lu Hao earn this time? Just the two Heavenly Golden Lotuses alone were worth 400 billion, and this was far from the limit.
"Then let's exchange for twenty plants, and if you're talking about Spirit Nourishing Fruits, a hundred," Lu Hao said.
"There aren't that many Spirit-Nourishing Fruits, which can nourish spiritual power, and the government's reserves aren't much either." Wang Qinghai had a headache; it seemed Lu Hao was going to empty the government's reserves.
"Surely there are at least 50."
"Alright, then fifty Spirit-Nourishing Fruits it is. What else do you want to exchange for?" Wang Qinghai asked.
"Give me two hundred Hundred-Refined Fruits."
Wang Qinghai was speechless again. This kid picked out good things, not that they were particularly precious, but the key was that they were all rare.
"Not two hundred, at most one hundred."
"Fine, a hundred will do," Lu Hao said with a smirk. As for the maximum, that was just talk; the strategic reserves hadn't been touched.
Scrolling down further, Lu Hao found that, aside from the Heavenly Golden Lotus, which he used himself,
The others can provide great help to the mid-grade level, and with the opening of energy stones, magic and weapon abilities will be rapidly improved.
"Give me a hundred of these 'Sculpting Vein Flowers'."
"Okay, no problem."
Wang Qinghai felt that all the speechless moments of his life had come to an end today. This kid really had a good eye—he exchanged for the things that martial artists at each stage needed most.
If the minister hadn't been there, he would have thought Lu Hao was going to establish a country abroad after exchanging so many resources. With so many resources, plus energy stones, it could be said that all the resources available to martial artists from the first to the sixth rank had been used up.
"As for divine weapons, give me five seventh-grade ones, no, six seventh-grade divine weapons," Lu Hao said after searching through the rare and precious materials.
Even a seventh-grade divine weapon isn't expensive, costing only two or three hundred billion each.
In terms of magic and martial arts, Wu Kuishan has divine weapons, as do Liu Polu, Huang Jing, Lü Fengrou, Tang Feng, and Li Changsheng, each with one, plus Qin Fengqing. Giving one to someone who has risked his life with him isn't unreasonable. As for Old Wang, he also envies that guy's divine weapon.
"Six seventh-grade divine weapons are no problem either. The government still has some in stock. Are there any requirements regarding the type of weapon? It would be best if there were suitable ones," Wang Qinghai said.
"As for the types."
Lu Hao thought about the weapons used by the Grandmaster of Magic and Martial Arts.
The big lion definitely uses gauntlets. Huang Jing's nickname is Wooden Swordsman, because he uses a sword. Li Changsheng, the Longevity Swordsman, isn't called that for nothing. Liu Polu uses a knife, and I've seen him do that. Lü Fengrou also uses a knife, and Qin Fengqing also uses a knife.
"A pair of boxing gloves, two swords, and three knives, is that alright?" Lu Hao asked.
"Sure, swords and knives are the most common. As for gauntlets, I remember we happen to have a pair of seventh-grade gauntlets."
"Six divine weapons, you've exchanged all the government's reserves in one go."
"That's all. Lastly, could I have a pound of Life Essence?" Lu Hao asked, after all, this stuff was practically a panacea.
He's going to the battlefield afterward, and if he gets injured, he can recover quickly with this.
"Life essence, this..." Wang Qinghai looked at Zhang Tao, after all, exchanging a whole pound was too much, and normally the supply was limited to grams.
"I've exchanged them for him," Zhang Tao said. He immediately understood the purpose of the items Lu Hao had exchanged.
They're here to help Magic Martial Arts improve quickly. As for the divine weapons, you can guess from their characteristics that they belong to several of Magic Martial Arts' grandmasters.
"Okay, that's all," Lu Hao said.
"Two Heavenly Golden Lotuses, 4000 billion; twenty Moonlit Grasses, 100 billion; fifty Spirit-Nourishing Fruits, 1000 billion; 100 Vein-Sculpting Flowers, 250 billion; 100 Hundred-Refining Fruits, 300 billion; six Grade Seven Divine Weapons, 1800 billion; one jin of Life Essence, 100 billion. Total: 7550 billion."
After some calculations, Wang Qinghai came up with a number that gave him a headache.
"That's all? Nothing else?" Zhang Tao asked. "No, we don't need anything else."
"Okay, you go and prepare these resources first. Lu Hao and I will continue our discussion," Zhang Tao said to Wang Qinghai.
